Why Dr. Dick Stopped Promoting TVi
Travel Ventures International (TVi) is probably the hottest new “MLM” to hit the USA in years. Some very good friends of mine talked me into joining back in August 2009. I even cycled out of the “Traveler Board”, which is the first matrix you have to work through. Those friends have cycled through the Express Board and have gotten those “$10,000 payouts” at least once, and in some cases, multiple times. I don’t deny that some people are making a LOT of money with TVi. So why am I walking away? Basically, I’m seeing multiple Red Flags that tell me this company is headed for a fall, and that the program will pro

IT’S TIME TO GET STRONG!
From one of my upline mentors… Here is an excerpt from an article in the Sep 26 New York Times with the sobering news that US job seekers exceed openings by a 6 to 1 ratio : U.S. Job Seekers Exceed Openings by Record Ratio “Job seekers now outnumber openings six to one, the worst ratio since the government began tracking open positions in 2000. According to the Labor Department’s latest numbers, from July, only 2.4 million full-time permanent jobs were open, with 14.5 million people officially unemployed.” There is a R

Robert Kiyosaki and the Cash Flow Quadrant
If you haven’t read Robert Kiyosaki’s book Cash Flow Quadrant yet, you should. It’s an eye-opener for anyone who aspires to create and maintain wealth. There are four pieces of the quadrant that illustrate how people make money: the E portion is employee – you get paid for working on a job; the S portion is self-employed – you are your own boss in a small business, but you still effectively have a “job” because if you don’t work, you don’t get paid; the B portion is for Business – you own a business that either has employees or affiliates and is large enough that it can operate and generate cash flow wi

Why every Professional should be in Network Marketing
A few years ago, Robert Allen wrote a best-seller entitled Multiple Streams of Income. Basically, Robert’s book demonstrates why everyone should have multiple sources of income. Many professionals already do. They have a (usually high paying) job, they have investments, they have retirement accounts, money market and savings, etc. But what if they suddenly lose that high-paying job in the middle of a serious recession (like the one we’re in now in early 2009)? And what if the stock market (where their investments are) tanks (as it is doing now)? What if the value of their home suddenly plummets (as it is doing now)? All of a sudden, things don
