And MLM business should also have an email system that is watched, and taken care of, on a daily basis. This is not only for distributor base, but also customers and public as well.

5) Does MLM Business have needed business licenses and legal structure to do business in states and countries they operate in?

Answer: Yes.

All MLM Businesses that have been in business for any amount of time, must have needed legal structure and licenses to operate in every state. If they do not, they will eventually be forced to cease doing business in that state. And most MLM Businesses have some form of a corporate structure that company operates under. That could include being a C Corporation, an LLC, or a Sub S Corporation.

Even MLM distributor needs a license to do business in their city, so they will not be penalized if they do not have one and are caught.

6) Does MLM business operate on a FOR PROFIT basis?

Every successful business structure, traditional or non-traditional, should operate on a FOR PROFIT basis. Even MLM distributor needs to operate on a FOR PROFIT basis. If MLM business does not operate in a profit mode, and loses money continually, MLM business will not be in business for that long.

It is same way for MLM distributor. If distributor does not make any money, then they will not stay in business long.

7) Does MLM business perform all of needed business functions to increase business, including marketing, promotion, campaigns, running specials, advertising tools, customer service, brand extensions, research and development, direct marketing, increasing brand awareness, and keeping their vendors at an honest price?

Answer: Yes.

Every MLM business operates to increase business, using all of functions mentioned, and more. Even MLM distributor needs to perform some of those functions, to increase their own business in their marketplace. These are functions any business needs to do, in order to stay in business, and enlarge it's operating capacity.

Yes, an MLM Business is a TRUE business that operates to service customer's needs, bring products and services to marketplace, and show a profit at end of year.

Here is a Secret. You get PAID to do one thing in Network Marekting, and everything else revolves around it.

What is it?

COMMUNICATING with people!

And if you bring an inadequate communication style, habits, focus, and skills with you into this business, you will fail. Period.

Leadership, partly, is about Masterful Communication, and no matter how good you are with people, you MUST have a masterful skillset to communicate with folks, and that is where Personal Growth comes in for network marketing.

You must grow and develop your skills to level that this business DEMANDS, and that requires work, study, and experience in field.

ALL millionaires in this business GREW to level of GREATNESS that was required of them and beyond. Most did not come into Network Marketing with those skills already intact. They GREW INTO Business, day by day, week by week, call by call, and hour by hour.

Now Question is, How?

The answer is through MLM and Network Marketing Personal Development, and Mastery in Communication. Those are TWO KEY Secrets to both MLM and Network Marketing Leadership Success.

Yes, Network Marketing is:

1. A channel and business of Personal Distribution. 2. A Business of "Mini Franchises" that can be duplicated. 3. A direct sales business. 4. A "People Business" for average people to grow to do extraordinary things.

BUT, in wrapping this up, all Leaders understand TRUE business they are in, in Network Marketing. You are in business of Touching and Changing People's Lives, Including your own!"

In palm of your hand, you hold a Power with MLM. It is a Power to change people's lives radically, in many ways, with what this industry can bring to it, as well as bring to your own life. What you do with that Life Changing Power in Network Marketing is up to you!

You can tap into that Power and start a WildFire of Growth and Success in your life, and then Spread Fire to others. How? Through Growth and increasing your own skills as well as others through Engaging this business of Network marketing on a daily basis, and teaching it to others, so they can do same.

And then, an amazing thing happens:

We call it "DoubleBuild".(sm). As you build business, business is building you!

And that is how you grow in this business. By studying it, doing it, and focusing on Personal Growth in Network Marketing, and rest will help create Person you need to become, in order to create Life you want to live, and help others do same, through Leadership.

Network Marketing then, is a Power you have tapped into. A Life-changing Power, that demands growth from you, to be able to unleash that greatness inside of you, and then help others do same through their business (which is your downline).

That is How you Create Wealth in this business. Get into business, grow into business, and then seed and grow greatness into others, through Power in this business called Network Marketing. And YOU can create wealth like crazy in MLM, with that formula!

Bottom Line, that is what MLM and Network Marketing is truly about and really is: A Personal Distribution System for products, that can be taught and duplicated by other people, and when you do that, it changes people's lives and lifestyle with it's multiplying income and life changing power. THAT REALLY is Network marketing and MLM.
