Thanks Eric, we know we are in the right biz at the right time; in fact there's no a 'wrong time' for this biz!

This is solid advice- People make plenty of excuses! Find your weaknesses and get rid of em!!-

We do have a better way. Let's go make a difference. :) Thanks Eric.

I get so frustrated because so many people show up at a job fair but they won't consider working with me.

The tip point is here!! and im ready... :)

Thanks again Eric. Keep up the great work.

WOW! So awesome. I loved it and it gave me inspiration.

Thank you!

I spent 20 years in the trenches of Corporate Canada, climbing the ladder to "success". Awards, promotions, accolades dotted my path - I had been "validated" by all external standards. But felt deeply dissatisfied. When the resentment of having a ceiling on my income (and my worth) became unbearable, I left it to do exactly as CNN recommended - become an entrepreneur. I foolishly invested $60,000 of my own money to build my own retail, bricks and morter business, only to lose it all within months. (Insert big, heavy sigh here)

The truth is, MLM is hands down THE most equitable business model today. It is the ultimate equalizer. It's brilliance has been proven! Where else ...seriously WHERE ELSE can a person (any person) with no experience, no business degree and with very little investment, get this kind of FREEDOM vehicle... and support?!

Now IS the time. CNN got it right! And so did you Eric : )

Network Marketing is the best of all worlds! No good reason for anyone that has a desire to start a business, to not get involved with Network Marketing.

Great message....i believe it to be true more now than ever!

You are spot on. I have been over 8 years in the business and in the last 3 months I have met more people in serious financial trouble then in all the years before.

Eric, Thanks for the up to date current info

It is so interesting to see how news anchors and people who study and learn about the economy and are inteligent, can find this idea of starting your own business and taking responsiblity for yourself so shocking. It seems like common sense...

Every Video inspires me more, Thanks Eric!

This show, together with the CNN report gives your "We have a better way" absolute legitimation.
I have shown it to some people - your show and the CNN report, and it opens people's mind.
Very powerful (and handy ...)

I absolutely agree :) I'm in!!!! Let's do it!!!!!

Great message and so on time!

I fully agree. I had a traditional business with all the costs en hassel and sometimes sleepless nights. I see the difference doing business through nw marketing and the possibility for so many people to start for themselves.

Now is the time. If not now, When?

Each video is gem!

EVERYONE I SENT THIS LINK TO, FORWARDED IT AS WELL.

Thanks again Eric. I have been sending the link to the video to everyone I know. Those that have jobs or own small businesses and those who are now out of work.....

that's true we are at the right place at the right moment, nobody can't stop this. we need to talk to people every single day.

WOW! Thanks I will use the links as a tool!

NOW IS THE TIME!! Thanks for the link!!

Great Eric - thanks for the link.

I just watched the CNN report and watched your video again. Thanks for a great prospecting tool!

Thanks for the info, Eric. What you say really inspire me. You just boil my blood and make me feel excited. I am very happy to hear you say there is media that say something which is good and benefit to network marketing. In my country, many people still have negative view to network marketing, and our media here, on and off, will report something which are bad about network marketing. What to do? Realistic is, there are many companies in my country are fake network marketing company. Now, I have something solid from Bloomberg and CNN to show to people. Thanks.

Love it

So this is the right time, the tipping point. I better go find some of these folk!! And get them to a meeting!!

This speaks to sooooooo many people right now. I'm emailing this one to my team and a lot of people I have spoken to about network marketing. Thanks, Eric!!!

Now is the time for people to go into business for themselves! I agree. The leaders of the future will be people who start networks today! Thank you

I'm so happy that I decided to become my own boss in 2001! it's challenging, exciting and sometimes scaring but...'never a dull moment'

#217 - Be your own boss! It is time that we told the world about network marketing.

I agree with you, Eric - otherwise I would not be here tonight

I am my own boss since 1997, 2 years after I finished University of Architecture. I was more and less successful. 2010 it is the time to be your own boss and have great success!

Decreasing work force, unemployment, and underemployment continue to poke holes into the faulty illusion of "job security". There will never be greater opportunity to start and build a business for yourself. NM is ideal for the average person to transition from their 'decreasing workforce', and becoming a full-time network marketing professional.

Yes, we've got a better way and I can't wait until many more gets it!

The same "war of numbers" on the TV channels is going on here in Italy. Official unemployment =quite small %, the real unemployment = enormous %, due to part time not by choice and dramatical underemployment. Viva il NWM Pro!

I'm a believer - show me the money.....

Very true! Become your own BOSS! Say this over and over..."Act Now", Act Now, Act Now". over and over again and again. We all become what we think.....so what are you thinking??

Thank you Eric!

"Average Joe" - Thomas Chandler

Yes, let go out and start business for self. I don’t want to be hired and then be fired by other subjects. It’s only me who has the rights to do that!

NOW is the time!! Don't be afraid to tell everyone you know!! Leaders of the future start today!! My new approach starts right now.

This news article adds more credibility to my message and I appreciate the information. It boosts my confidence and credibility as I share "our better way".

This just illustrates the fact that we still have a lot of work to do. The world still is largely unaware of what network marketing can do. But on second thought...I think this is good!

Isn't it great to have the news back up our story, even if they are misinformed a bit.

Be your OWN BOSS (Eric, IF they only knew what we knew about network marketing. They would be lined up for miles just to be signed.) Wow what a fun job we have helping people find there way!!!!

There is no other way!

Wow This one is my favorite. Passion. Get and talk to people and spread the word.

Great message Eric...I just watched it again. Timing could never be better. Did you see this unemployment trend across the US? http://ow.ly/XfNP

I believe this to be true, but why are others so programed to believe they can only work for someone else? It's a little frustrating!

We take the right choise!!! We decided to take care of our lives. This is the story to tell

Isn't this all of our goal? It is so true about the banks and loans, most people can't even re-construct their loans to get in a better financial position. Thanks for the great input.

WOW! Something so simple will create such a huge team! I am pumped!

It is amazing how like you said Eric, WOW THEY ARE FINALLY WAKING UP!! well like I was once.. about 8 yrs ago.. I was invited to a MLM meeting for Herbalife.. basically my answer was THIS IS NOT FOR ME, I CAN NOT DO THIS well guess what?? this is PERFECT FOR ME AND I WAS MADE TO DO THIS! so yes I am out and telling the world and when I get the I don't have the money, or I don't have the idea, or I am not for this.. well all I do is just share my own testimonial!!! this year I AM GOING BIG... I AM GOING PRO!!

"Everyone is the president of their own personal company"

Thank you Eric,, we are incharge of our health in every aspect of life---- emotional, physical and financial

It's time to toss the boss!

great

In his new book "Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich", Robert Kiyosaki says, "If you are serious about becoming an entrepreneur, I suggest investing a few years, in your spare time, in learning the skill of selling from a network marketing business. The training you receive, especially the skill of overcoming your fear of rejection, is priceless." Not only is the income potential only limited by a person's diligence, but the personal growth that must happen to be successful is "priceless".

Being your own boss has a two sided knife. It can be the best or it can be the worst. Some people were "designed" to be employees and they don't function well if they aren't told what to do. Let's change people's programming!

thats true for the whole world today....i have had my own business for the last 12 years....nothing beats NWM !

Many un-employed people are awaiting the return of established "industries". The economy changed in the last decade; manufacturing has changed, retailing is changing, etc. People have to adapt to the economic changes in markets. Network marketing is one of the ways people can adapt their incomes. In the MLM skills training distributors have available to them, they can improve their "skills" for getting or keeping "jobs" in the new economy, if they so desire. 2010 is the beginning of a GREAT decade!!

Just like the movie Wag the Dog!
Thanks for this info, I think is very good to send it to prospects
Reality bites!

THE ECOMONY IS IN HUGE TROUBLE !!! 2010 WILL BE GREAT ONE FOR NETWORK MARKETING

In Finland, encouraging entrepreneurship, but the network marketing entrepreneurs is not properly counted as self-employed.

Layla

I liked what you said here: This is a great time to start a business. Those who can survive times like ours are absolutely will emerge at the forefront, when the current downturn is all over.

There is no doubt that 2010 is the year for MANY people to "wake up" and decide to become their own boss.

The Media always change stories on the way they want. it is up to us to tell the truth.

say it proud say it loud

I am going to use this show (thanks, Eric) every chance I get. 2010 is our year to thrive in network marketing! Lets go do it!

WOW it's true and for many of us out there like me i use to say well i don't have money to start up but hello we spend more money on cheese burgers so sacrifice something you don't have to start up with lots of money good luck for all of us

Once again - I agree. The beauty of Network marketing is that it's all laid out there for us and we just have to make use of the tools they give us. Be coachable, walk the walk and it works!

It's time to be your own boss!!!!!!!

Good stuff again and again. Thanks.

We have the desire to become big in nm and keep the ad sales bussines that I have created, it all ads up.

I am so thankful someone told me about NM. Now I return the favor.

Yesterday was the time to begin putting a safety net in place!

Yes! This economy is a great time for our industry. People are looking for alternatives. We need to get out there and capitalize on that and at the same time help a lot of people.

Thanks so much for this Eric! Absolutely fabulous!! Especially the explanation to the question, "What is Network Marketing?" I'll be using this to answer anyone who asks the question of me.

Network Marketing is setup to "help people that already have a job, and have obligations, be able to continue to satisfy those obligations while they build up a business and create a life for themselves, create a safety net for themselves."

The best response I have ever heard to the question "What is network Marketing?"

Glad I'm in now and looking forward to helping others. Connie T

I wish,I found the CNN video too.But I didn't
Anyway,I know for sure ,it's a fact we need to take care off our own family and that N.M.is a better way

Good advice eric. The wider we build the more we have the potential to have in depth.

No better way! very motivating.

This is a great short video that promotes the concept of Network Marketing. I think it's a good one to email to prospects! Thanks!

Yet more proof that 'we are ahead of the pack'!!

It's the same here in the Netherlands...the promote working for yourself every day on radio television everywhere! And they even mentioned Tupperware!

If you have the entrepreneur and freedom bug then every year is a good year to be your own boss :)
Interesting to see that it's catching on to mainstream news. The people who make the most of the recent crisis in networking and traditional business now will become the big winner.

Hopefully, more and more people are finally waking up to THEIR realities and recognize the opportunity that we're offering with the network marketing industry.

Thanks Eric

People are beginning to realize that they can't rely on the old corporate structure for their security. We have a better way as you say Eric, and now more than any other time in history, they are more open to learning about it.

Some of the people on the CNN link are so negative...its sad. This industry is the best example of starting a business with limited cash with great ROI.

How fitting that we get these dismal figures from the media who we teach doesn't help any of us make money! I watch CNN for this same type of figures and stories Eric - to validate what we do ... good job!

Great info. 17% unemployment. I am forwarding this to other entrepreneur friends.

It's only a matter of time before everyone is rushing to those of us who took action early :-)
Another spin on what's required... the proper "education" in the form of a PHD (Passion, Hunger, and Drive)

Great Post... The reality is the world is changing, either you change or get changed by it. Your Choice!

On Rush'es show today he also said, you need to start your own business. Because what we use have is not coming back, jobs wise.

So true Eric. NM is definitely for the average person. Those are the kinds of people I look for. People with passion, vision, and who can dream their biggest dream. I agree with everything you said. Until next time.

Lisa

Time to get out and help some people see the light about the world, our industry, and the potential future that is waiting for them. Thanks Eric.

Thank you for the inspiration and motivation I need daily to keep doing what I am doing. Can't wait to watch the video.

Thanks for the articles!

Thats what i love about our industry, we have a solution for all those people that are looking for a chance in life! Great show Eric

Thanks Eric! Great video! Great info from CNN.

I love this video Eric!
People need to realize they must have a Plan B for their future!
Unplug from the machine!

HI: Eric just watched#217 Video. You are right on money.Be your own Boss. I am.Eric thanks for all your hard work A.C.

Can you imagine NOT having the opportunity that a Network Marketing company offers?

Great as usual Eric. With more reports like this (CNN), that tipping point will get closer and closer.

SIR,

I watched the CNN report on real un-employment! and it is the BITTER truth of the time, am making preparation to develop skill that is required for us to tell the better way to everyone :)

Thanks a million!

Regards,

Wow! Thanks Eric! I have decided. I am proud. I am brave. Let's go tell the world what we have to offer. The time is now.

Today more than ever we need our leadearship skills as Eric said in the last webinar. All time Leaders (From Moises to Marthin Luther King) have only one message: there is a better place to go and we can get there together. So...people need to know the message that we have a better way and we can doit together...

Thanks Eric! This is a great perspective. I would really like to read the article from CNN but when I click on the link it brings me to a different video. Any chance you have an updated link or the title of the news clip.

2010 is the great year !!!! For that reason it is necesary to focus on networking marketing and have our own business

The economic world has changed. Now is the time to take charge of your life. Your only limitation is yourself!

we have a better way, let's go tell the world....
I'm starting to believe and feel it more and more

Totaly agree ,now is the time for your own busines.Your a great person ,thank you

I wish everybody the very best year 2010! This will be great year for our business, keep on and never quit!

We did not start the fire, but we are the Solution for so many people. Brian Hepner

This was great! CNN is catching on...I can't believe it. The public's mindset is shifting...

Day 8.... (I hope again) This is a really good show that reminds us why Network Marketing is such a fantastic option.

Same stats for Europe.

Hey Eric, I can never get an over dose of inspiration or motivation. Every time I watch this show I come out feeling invigorated, like nothing can stop me now.

Absolutely true, not only in the US also in Mexico and Latin America.

Reality is just the fact that we as a country need to # 1 start telling the truth to the people and not sugar coat everything. We are hear because we have an idea and to spread our idea. This should wake some people .

How true this is. I was downsized from my company over a year and a half ago while I was 7 months pregnant. It was devastating at the time but has become a blessing in disguise. I had previous network marketing experience and had reached mild success but was unhappy with the direction the management of that company was taking it. Thankfully not long after that job loss a good friend of mine that I had developed in that previous company decided to make a switch. I had heard through the grapevine about her changed and contacted her to hear more. I am now happy to be part of her team, glad for the opportunity to stay home with my son and when my unemployment runs out in the next 12 weeks (due to the most recent extension otherwise I'd be done now) I will be one of those statics that Bloomburg talks about.

Great video and message it is time now more than ever for us continue the positive influence and make a difference.

Hey Eric I think it is great that hey are saying those things , but it makes me cranky that they are sort of back door edorsing wht we do but will not come right out and say it as some other news items have said. Which proves we have work to do!

best,


Neil

What a great AND truthful CNN snippet. Too bad so short! I agree completely. Has a nice ring to it? 2010 is the best year ever to be your OWN BOSS! People are calling me from years past asking me what I think about this industry-people I would never have thought of in the past...so I agree we do have the better way-this is what I'm saying to candidates..duplicating your language!

Network Marketing is the BEST industry in the world for those who are willing to learn, perform, lead, develop leaders and develop leaders who develop leaders.

Network Marketing is the BEST industry in the world for those who are willing to learn, perform, lead, develop leaders and develop leaders who develop leaders.

Network Marketing is the BEST industry in the world for those who are willing to learn, perform, lead, develop leaders and develop leaders who develop leaders.

I've always worked for myself in someway however there's an old saying that the person who works for themselves has the worst boss.

AAAARGH! Computer back on but the sound is off!

Yes, many people rely on someone else to take care of them, like goverment. If you talk to them and suggest something, they go to the level you mentioned in some erlier videos "it is honarable to be poor" and there is nothing they can do about.

There is no unemployment in the world; there are people who are waiting for secure work. This is not available anymore and people have to be more entrepreneurs and create the job. Network marketing now, is the best opportunity.

“Unless you are networking, you will soon be not working.”

Spoken in 2007 at an Australian convention, Dr. Denise Waitely’s words seem prescient and timely for 2010. There is a deliberate deception about the true unemployment rate just as there has been a deception about the true costs of recent American wars, which run into the double-digit trillions when society rebuilding in several countries and long-term health care for returning veterans is factored in.

The signs that have been on the wall for the past few years are coming down from corporate America and being put on the front door of millions of American homes. Where one economic sector is posting Closed for Business the home entrepreneur is boasting their Open for Business sign. Driving around our city I see the for sale and for lease signs on medium to large retail spaces continue to increase. The mall shops are increasingly being filled by local small businesses versus the usual national retail outlets.

Why are some saying the greatest decade in American history is in front of us while others are predicting economic stagnation for years to come? Who do you believe?

Health and wellness is the only sector that showed substantial growth during the bust years of 2008 and 2009. Fueled by the independent entrepreneur and the small business owner and driven by that age old trend, the baby boomer. What’s on the minds of the 76 million adults born between 1946 and 1964?

Boomers are driven by the desire to maintain their financial health and their physical health. The waiora, seeking the fountain of youth, and, after this latest scare, seeking out more security in the nest egg is occupying the mind of boomers. Lately, there has been a run on the purchase of silver and gold because, as a marketing savant recently said, “The government can’t print more silver and gold.”

The trend of cutting marketing costs, distribution costs, fixed overhead costs, and labor costs will accelerate as manufacturers continue to drive products to the consumer in the most efficient manner possible, which is through the Internet and direct sales. The adherents and campaigners for a network marketing business model have gained access to the board rooms of corporate America. And there is a hunger to be free of the old ball and chain if the future and the “contract of trust” are unreliable.

Will network marketing create more millionaires than the real estate boom and bust, the dot com bubble, the savings and loans fiasco, asset-skimming mergers, the junk bond debacle, the sub-prime loan schemes and all the other ponzi games combined? I think so. And I think our industry can do it with more integrity. We have to. We owe it to the American Dream.

Have not heard much of that kind of talk, here in Scandinavia. Maybe later. You are in the Land of
Entrepreneurs !
Good to get "backup" from other fields of sosiety, like scholars broadcasted on CNN.
Today i will be busy...

cant wait till network marketing becomes a self evident business ...there are gona be alot of people eating their words just like when franchising was look down upon. in 15 years i will have had 20 years experience in this industry and i will only be 38 ...im looking forward to seeing the shift and benifiting from it ask a million dollar a year income earner.

If people would just open their mind & eyes to the opportunity that networkmarketing offers. It's unlimited. We definitely do have a Better Way. Where else can you work smart and hard and on top of that have FUN!!!

Woww, CNN says that ! How great for us !

WOW, I'm speechless......................
what can I say???.... I'm in the right place at the right time!!! =oD

It is about perspective. During the Great Depression, 10% of the population became wealthy because they moved according to what was happening .. they were not stuck and then pushed off the edge with the rest of the lemmings. Great show Eric - thanks!

17% unemployment is very high. I already shared the CNN information about biz owners for 2010. Thanks for keeping me informed.

Most definitely Eric.. If it's to be , it's up to me!!

Hi Eric, again you are right. I say if the people new what we know this would be a much better world. All of us can make a difference one person at a time. They need to be ope
Thank you, Mikey

Everything is all set to start your business, talk to people, use the technology.
Looking forward to go tell the world about the product and opportunity :D

Thanks for your passion Eric
Hugs from Mexico

More validation on our industry. People may not believe us but for some strange reason they'll listen to the news. Great way to expose people using that link as a 3rd party tool! Gotta take control of your life by starting a business

Indeed, network marketing in these times is a better way!!

You don't need experience as long as you are coachable, be willing to work, have the burning desire and just alk to people.

2010 is definitely the tipping point for network marketing. Promote,promote, promote your business as a PROFESSIONAL !

another great vid. Eic!! 2010 is the year of the entrepreneur...we've all heard Paul Zane Pilsers stats...will you be one of the new Millionaires? Only if you find enough people that you can help get there with you!

BTW...is that shirt a magic eye sort of thing...kept waiting for the 3D image to pop out at me...but I can never see those things...what was I supposed to see anyway?

Let's go tell the world!
Day before yesterday I talked to a guy who had just found a minimum wage job after loosing his well paid airplane mechanic job. He had gone 3 months without any support due to some misunderstanding about the coverage of his unemployment insurance.
Now, he finds himself at the end of his funds just able to scrape by and after listening for 5 minutes I say to him: "Is'nt it time to catch up and leave that kind of situation in the dust?" He says it sure is and we make an appointment for him to see my information the next day.
That was yesterday. He left my home to go straight to his father and his sister to enroll them too! There are so many hungry people out there!
I didn't know this guy and he thanked me afterwards for being bold enough to ask him to see my information!

NICE!!! just got back from a 4 day trip singing that same song!!!!! thanks for the pep talk!!!

Entrepreneurialism is what my country, the USA, was founded upon and I feel we have gotten away from this philosophy of free enterprise and creating our own wealth vs. depending upon the government. It demands first and foremost a mind set of self motivation and creativity and willingness to work hard. I am learning how to take my small business owner mentality and translate that into helping support others build a business for themselves as well. As I succeed, I will obviously be more valuable to my team. Thanks Eric for opening my mind to new ways of thinking.

great encouragement I,m ready

wow...there really isn't any reason not to be a part of this industry! It seems that the economic and social tide is pushing towards the acceptance of network marketing as a career/profession. I am starting (albeit slowly) to see the light. Really enjoyed this one Eric!

Amazing report! We are so close to the tipping point. We have to keep pressing forward. So glad for all of you that came before us. Keep up the great job of spreading the word and sharing your knowledge.

Thank you
Jillian

2010 will be a great year for our industry! We do have a better way.

This is so good, it really needs to go viral and get around the web. Lets get this on all the social media sites and see if we can create a real buzzzzzzz!

Take charge of your life. Be your own boss in 2010. Network marketing really is a better way!

Thank you Eric for updating us!

We had realized earlier, NOW world has started realizing that “Its time for network marketing”

I wish you will be # 1 on small business awards.

The media always seems to be last at catching on to the good stuff.

Perfect. Network! Now!!

I like this video. In fact, I hope to use it as a third party tool to get people to open up their eyes and smell the roses. I love the idea of showing people what they are working toward now, if they can keep working...they are working toward mediocrity. A pension plan just isn't enough.
Showing them that working part-time right now can pad their pension is a wonderful way to get them to see the reality of the future.

This is awesome to know that we dont have to be affected by the ecomony!
I will keep going not matter what

we are definitely in the right business (network marketing) and you are absolutely correct Eric that we do indeed have a better way. If CNN is telling people that it is better to have your own business and that people need to start getting their own business, enough said right there

It IS amusing how the media's grasp of the obvious is so amazing!! I am a firm believer that network marketing is the industry that can level the playing field and gives anyone willing to listen...and work hard, the opportunity to achieve their dreams! The tide is turning!! People will come to see the light!

"It is never a bad time to start a business unless you are starting a mediocre business" - Gary Vaynerchuk

The reality today is that even a mediocre business would be better than what a lot of people have going for them. But with network marketing we definitely have the best business model - the ability to be your own boss and create unlimited income without any of the risks of traditional business...what could be better than that?

I'm glad you posted this...I actually saw this video the other day and was surprised that this was actually being reported. So many people are still thinking that there is no way to win in this economy.

Hey Eric, thanks for the contribution of CNN.

I totally agree with you that the job situation at the moment is critical in countries throughout the world and why MLM is a good opportunity of the moment.

However, I consider it important that the illustrious to this group that Network Marketing is not only an opportunity for people who are at risk of losing employees or employees with a certain stability or unemployed.

I believe the Markting Network is also an opportunity for successful people who are entrepreneurs, even for people wealthy. It seems important, this last point because this way we can teach people in this profession or potential market of prospects are not geared toward a single point.

A special greeting

-GJ

Love to hear this kind of news. Again, it's heartening to know that as long as I'm willing to do the work, and I apply myself, I will be successful and secure!

We are definitely in the right place at the right time! Thanks for the CNN report. What a great tool !!

Very well said! Thanks!

Your such a BIG thinker Eric...you Rock!!!

Well it's about to be self evident, that this industry is going to be the only viable solution as the world
changes. Here's to going Pro!

Not only is it less expensive to start a business as a network marketing professional you truly are your own boss. I also have a brick and mortar business and that business is my boss and owns me! I'm working for the day when being a network marketing pro frees me!!

Great session Eric! Pam and I are ALL in!

Every thing's just in place, it's our job to tell the world the way we have. Because they are claiming for it.
Excellent information to use as a third party tool.
Thanks a lot.

Eric, Being my own boss at home is one of my goals, working to reach it by 2011.

My comment listed under this session was meant for #216 about promoting.
As for this episode I would agree with "network marketing is, in fact, a better way"!

I have started or restarted a business 3 times, not including networking marketing, and the start-up cost of all of them far exceeded all the money I ever spent in the network marketing business and none of them had the potential to make this level of money. I spend more money each month for accounting than the total cost of a networking business. BOY AM I DUMB!

It is so true that the initial investment doesn't even come close to that of a traditional business. Right on!

I can't wait till my wife and I can have the good life we are able to take vacations once in a great while rite now
It sure would be nice to take vacations all the time.
I have tried other ventures but the money needed was just out of my reach
Network marketing I think will be my way out of the trenches

Right place,Right time, Right now....Thanks Eric

Timing is everything, and now is the time!

You described NWM in simple terms!! The tipping point is here, social media is helping getting the word out. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the info...we have a better way

Great info, suprising even the news casters were willing to pass on positive news! Sent it out on my "list".

Great show, Eric. I'm going to forward this to a number of people.

Thanks for the info Eric. Glad us here are already in business for ourselves.

This is the best news I've ever heard on a news station!! Thanks Eric for the reminder

I recommend the book "Crush It" by Gary Vaynerchuk (interviewed by Eric in show #158) which tells us how to take advantage of the technology, what is out there and the importance of expanding your network and of course, doing what you love. Today's show is good news for Network Marketing, however, for us already in this profession, is a time to accelerate, since if we don't act now, someone with better motivators will take the market that we cant take now. Thank you Eric for this show.

Jim rohn said, wages will make you a living, profits will make you rich.

Thanks Eric for keeping us all informed. I am goin to watch the CNN report right now.

2010 is a great time to be my own boss. Thanks Eric.

Grab Life ! I think it's about time to decide that for my life. Now is the time. Thankyou Eric, for your thoughts.

Eric, thanks for this great show. I think this is a wake up call for anyone who still has doubts about Network Marketing

Eric, thanks for this show, this is a wake up call for anyone who has doubts about Network Marketing

I once read somewhere a very interesting quote I'd like to share............"Good luck is only the combination of a good preparation and a good opportunity".

Well guys, the opportunity is right here before our very eyes, and it's only up to ourselves to be prepared to take it. Let's go for it !!!!

Carlos from Paraguay

Couldn't agree more Eric that NOW is the time for our profession to explode. We are like sitting in "the perfect storm" with all the job insecurities and un-employment. I would sooner work with someone with NO MONEY but a LOT OF DESIRE.....than someone with money and no PASSION for our industry. I too saw the CNN report.

The fruit is ripe on the vine but we must go out and harvest it.

This is awesome. We are so close to a tipping point. Thanks Eric!

Just checking in...

2010 is the year for me to be my own boss and thrive in network marketing. Thank you for your insight, Eric.

Enjoy the passion in your voice Eric... It is refreshing to hear such conviction... Now is a great time for our industry for those who embrace it... If you can put the Passion and Energy in your business like Eric does You cannot fail... Thanks for sharing :)

This is exciting news for us in network marketing so we can go FULL SPEED AHEAD.
thank you
sincerely
Julie Hawkins

Eric,
Great news for network marketers, hopefully people will catch on. Where else can you get on the job low cost training?

#8
Those with vision, desire and work ethic with emerge as the next wave of the ultra successful. Lets get busy!

Yes the MLM wave is coming!

Having a quote...safe job is actually very risky!

We have a personal friend who lost his job yesterday ... it's happening every day, every where. Our friend has been on the team but not active - now, he wants to get active! We do have a better way. We are telling the world!

Sure...all we need is to take action!!!

That's right! Now is the time! Get out there and get it done! Thanks!

Thanks for the great advice you give everyday. Your show has helped me grow as a network marketer and I know we have a better way.

So true, we have a better way! This is a business for everybody who bring their PASSION, are willing to WORK and are COACHABLE. Or, as Dan Catto said: "Have fun, but get it done"

I used to be in a traditional business and I know how much you have to invest in before you start earning money. It's a headache 24 hrs 7 days a week. I was very happy when I got rid of it. Don't want any similar experience anymore.
Network marketing is a perfect opportunity for me.

Right place at the right time!

Do you feel most network marketers are self-employed rather than business owners?

Thank you Eric great show!

I am so thankful for the good idea I am working with. Everyone need to learn that networking is the way.

THERE IS NO DUOBT !!! WE HAVE A BETTER WAY. LET'S GO TELL IT TO THE WORLD.
A NMPRO IS:
SOMEONE WHO TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS LIFE.
SOMEONE WHO INVOLVED IN SELF DEVELOPMENT.
SOMEONE WHO LIVES LIFE OF FREEDOM.
SOMEONE WHO SHOW THE WAY TO OTHERS AND HELP THEM TO SUCCEED.
NMPRO IS A WINNING BIZ MODEL.

Eric another awesome call, we are in the right place at the right time.
Lori

If I don't take charge and responsability for my own future, I'll transfer it to someone else's back... like a boss. The current times are forcing us to wake up, one way or the other. It might be challeging and frightening in the begining, but this is the way to go.

Decreasing workforce...funny how they play with numbers. Makes me laugh all the way to the bank!

I have always marveled at people that start businesses the 'traditional' way. Blows my mind that they would go into so much debt, and do so much work. WHY?????? :)

There's no accounting for insanity Kelly. ;)

As a traditional business owner who went to the wall recently, and with personal guarantees coming out of my ears, I'm of the opinion now that everybody is better off if the banks keep our donation - eh - bailout money - locked safely away in their vaults.

You got THAT right

Eric = with all of the automatic emails I get about the industry, I am finding your to be very 'spot on' and with time being a precious commodity, your emails, videos, have found their way to the top of my "To Do" list - Thanks - John C.

I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks!

Sounds like a great way to get the message out. That It is Time to Be Your Own Boss. But the question is. Does it hurt enough to get off the porch and do something about it and be your own boss. I am

It's nice to see the media back us up. I am so thankful this opportunity. I went to my first networking meeting today and I loved it-what a great way to meet potential customers, team members, leads, and other like minded people who have the same goals! Thank you for giving your time to help us grow!

You've reinforced something that I already knew but I still can't hear it enough. Thanks again!

Hi Eric
The show was great and it is true now the networkmarketing is the best option for many people,
and you can be your own bos, I don`t have the pressure of the time, the results are mine.

Hindsight is 20/20. Ms. Phelps turns hindsight into foresight - for those of us willing to act. Thanks Ms. Phelps and Eric.

I am going to use this today! thanks.

is that link working for you guys. it keeps saying timed out to me then opens others on that site.. would really like to see it..

Try this

http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2010/01/07/be-your-own-boss-in-2010/

Thanks Tony that worked

Our talk, talk, inviting and now a little help from the media is inching us toward that tipping point.

Great stuff Eric. This is the time to change the perception of network marketing. Thanks to people like you we can do that.

Thanks for the CNN link... Their is going to be a lot of changes in the way business is conducted and Neywork Marketing will be leading the way, its just a matterof time...

Wow ... that was smokin'. I have to get my whole downline to see this one!

Today's show is truly prophetic. We can see right before our eyes, where the world is going and it will be very foolish on our part as network marketers not to take advatange of this massive wealth shift by positioning ourselves for the tipping point that is so near. Keep it coming Eric. God bless you for all you do for us.

Thanks again and thanks for the link...

I wish I could vote twice. You tell the truth. I more contact a day, the smart way.

Eric

We have to tell everybody about this profession, most of the people have a wrong impresion o have not even evaluate this alternative, before others.

The only people whos is loosing money in the Network Marketing businees is the people who quit. You can not fail if you do not stop.

What a remarkable time for me to be getting into the NM business, the tipping point is coming!

The fact that the media present what we do as networkers as the thing to be done in order to have a good situation is another sign that the network marketing concept is moving from underground to mainstream. The fact that we are the frontline of this mainstream is a considerable advantage.

Great video Eric, and great you're backing the info up with that link.
If CNN is finally opening his eyes to our upportunity, we are close to the tipping point!
We have a better way, let's go tell the world!
Warm regards,
from Belgium, this is Jeroen Lingier

It makes a change to have some support from the media , but always welcome .

Short comment today. I am busy telling the rest of the world.

2010 is going to be the best year ever for a lot of people who choose to take advantage of it. Like they always say, the people who see opportunity in "down times" will profit tremendously. Well, for those of us who are here now, we see the opportunity and we will profit from it tremendously because we are going to be the ones helping all the other people trying to figure out what to do in "down times" like this. Like Zig Ziglar always says, "If you help enough people get what they want, you will ultimately get everything that you want." 2010 is here and we are taking advantage of it. I can't wait to see where we are a year from now... most likely standing on the beaches of the world celebrating an AMAZING year.

The market is indeed wide open and a great time to be in front of the masses.

As always you make great points. The tipping point is coming!

This was fabulous. So nice to once again know that we are in the right place at the right time.

Thank you Eric!

great to see when something like CNN puts people in the mindset of it being "a good time" to start a business when people can't figure that out on their own :)

Well Eric, what an interesting few minutes I just experienced with you! Thanks for giving me the tool to send to some of my prospects who think that network marketing isn't for them! If this doesn't inform them of otherwise, I don't know what will. I plan to copy the article from CNN.com and use it as a tool as well. Thanks again Eric!

That's awesome to hear - people are finally realizing that the don't need to work for their boss for the rest of their lives! Although it seems from the responses that people are so afraid of failure! They don't realize that the multi-millionaires of the world failed over and over, but it's the perseverence that made them succeed.

Great positive facts.......excellent or the start of your day here in NZ......all giving more posture for this great Industry !! Thanks Eric

I here at right place and the right time..... :)

I'm reposting this show on my Facebook page. This is an important message to pass on to the masses. Thanks!

Eric

I just love what you say and i fall in love with you site.

I Did Crack the Sosial midia Cod and now my Business
grow al over the world.
Regards
Theuns

Couldn't agree more - great to have some media backup to quote.

I'm the smart one! People is too hard to change. I´m in the right way. Thank you!

I saw this CNN clip the other day. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Congrats to the main stream media for picking up on what we have all known for years. Find a passion, Work your face off, Develop yourself and reap the rewards when it's harvest time while others beg for the table scraps. Our economy has turned the corner my friends and yesterday's job market will NEVER make a comeback. This generations economic meltdown will go down in history as the proving ground for tomorrows superstars. As for me and my house. Count us in on that group... CNN has a reputation for staying on top of trends. My prediction is that other Main stream media sources will job on this bandwagon and also run stories on the same subject..

Love your direct NO FLUFF response. Time people listened! Some will some won't

This is very inspiring today! Thank you for the suport and lessons you offer!

Great info. Thanks Eric!

great nuggets for network marketing objections - thanks.

you are so right Eric! There is no better business in the world than Network Marketing where the average person not only in the US but all across the globe can take charge of their life and create a new future and do something different for themselves and their family. The way the economy is now more people will start to realize that this is the best time for them to start their own business, and pretty soon everyone we know will be a part of our wonderful profession of network marketing!

Good news for Networkers .
We are so close to that tipping point :)

Ok,Hi Eric Congratulations for the awards¡¡¡
I think is very important to have your own business and with this,,, you can enjoy your life obviusly you need to work a lot but you can enjoy time with your family.
Saludos.
Daniel Y Natali Qro.

I used the CNN video last night in a home meeting. Thx Eric

Ok!

I found another video clip on CNN that talks about a "Jobless Recovery" for our economy. People need us to share our opportunities with them ASAP! Many people who have been let go will not have a job to go back to. Companies are being forced by this economy to become much more efficient. Do more with less. Thanks Eric.

Eric thank you again for all that you are doing for the industry. I just watched the CNN report and they are finally realizing what a lot of us have known for years being your own boss.

GREAT INFORMATION WE ARE MAKING THE DIFFERENCE AND CHANGING THE WORLD

EXACTLY! All we need to do is talk to people about a good idea ... simple, simple, simple! Over and over again. And if you really want to target, talk to people in other (crappy) business models.


Best to you,
Scott

Hi Eric, this is so what I needed to hear today. Thank you for all you do.

Because of the uncertain job makedet out there so it is the best time to start their MLM career NOW. It has never been so many who seek a new opportunity for himself and his family. So let's go out! Tell this to the world. 2010 will be my best year. Thanks! Eric.

Thanks again.

Take control today. Look for opportunity everywhere.

We need to get the network marketing option in front of people while they're still working. There is no job security anymore unless you're looking at your boss in the mirror every morning. We offer hope and a chance to take control of the financial future. Nice to see we're getting some help from mainstream media.
Thanks for the CNN link. We'll put it to work today.

Tim and Tricia

We definately have a better way. Why do soooooooooooooo many people not get it? This industry is the best thing ever.

Thank you Eric!!!!!!

Ed

100% sure, we have a better way, it is a stone fact........I believe your quote, this is the only industry going to be survived, its fact, i love you all............

Love your passion, my friend. Great show Eric, and it spawned some really great comments.

80% of the people don't get it. They don't understand that working for someone else, having a job, is NOT security. It's the 20% who go out there and create their own lives that control this world. I guess the "80/20" rule (give or take) will always apply to anything, no matter what. But, we just have to flip that ratio around, and I can see that happening one day.

Hi Eric,

I watched your video and its great as usual! I clicked on the link but wasn't sure which CNN video to watch though.

Another great video! It's so great to be a part of this community of like-minded individuals!

Hi Eric! Yes you're so right, and I have decided to become a networkmarketing professional. Great show as usual. Let's tell the world! /Linda, Sweden

Finally the news channels are waking up...

Great video Eric - you're so right! We do have the better way - it's just getting out there and educating people on this fantastic business. They do have alternatives to what they are doing now. This video is a great tool to pry open their eyes.

Thanks!

great info Eric, thanks... the future is ours

People either look for excuses or look for opportunities. No more excuses! Create your future - today!

Thanks, Eric.

I am going to look at the CNN statement and implement it into my conversation while presenting the opportunity. We actually, briefly, go through financial statistics as they relate to today's U.S. economy. What amazes me is that even with this information in Black and White, all over the news, financial media (on-line and publications), people still have this "Well, my job is protected" mentality. I do believe this is truly going to be a breakthrough year for this profession. I'm averaging about 1-3 conversation per week with good friends of mine who were "unofotunately" released from their (what they thought was a) secure job.

I cannot find my notes but from memory almost 90% of the US population in 1900 was self employed. In 1910 Wallace Wattles published "The Science of Getting Rich" in 1910 that promoted leaving the job behind and homesteading 200 acres of public land.

People have always been torn between security and opportunity. We sell our freedom and liberty for what appears to be a share of security. The risk appears smaller in today's downsizing to make the shift back to an opportunity where freedom and liberty thrive.

The best part of owning your own business is you are stuck with you as your best employee. 2010 will be a breakthrough year for many people. Thank you Eric for encouraging everyone as we DO have the better way.

Changing workforce paradigms one mind at a time! You are doing a great job of this every day. I love it when someone takes the time to question and restate headlines that the majority of people will just accept and regurgitate.

It's a stone cold fact that Eric is the Best ever. This show Rocks! Timid Be Gone!

Listening to you, Eric, it should be so easy, so logic and so smart. And that's how I feel about it, but ----

I love it!!! I think that it is true. I am waiting to quit my job though!

Finally, economists have something positive to say anbout the future. I love it. The future is looking brighter and brighter for us.

thank you Eric great information

Wow 17% unemployment -I think we need to be telling everyone "Don't waste a good recession". :)

Network Marketing is perfect for everyone, but not everyone is perfect for network marketing. We need to continually promote, promote, promote and talk to people about what we have!! Live your life with purpose, and be excited and enthusiastic about what you do.

I have heard so many people complain about their situation and why they are the victim - I would love for all of them to watch your video!! They have no reason to complain.. they need to make the choice, believe they deserve this and step up to the plate. Coming from a capital intensive industry with high overhead and startup costs, this industry provides the the best, simplistic systematic approach to building a business... all we have to do is talk to people...

Let them know what we have!

Mainstream media may finally be catching on? Love it! The spin from Bloomberg is pretty typical, though. And to think, this doesn't even include those people who gave up looking for a job. They're not counted any more in the unemployment numbers.

The new breed of the unemployed / underemployed are those white-collar workers losing their jobs saying, "I never thought it would happen to me." Those jobs are not coming back.

In Wisconsin, it's closer to 22-24% unemployment. We have an amazing opportunity if people are willing to listen. Now, more people are willing to listen because the old way is broken.

Amen! You are preaching to the choir. Now we have to go tell everyone else about network marketing and being self-employed! This is the best way! I'm sending all my prospects to this video and then telling them to make a decision!

All we have is NOW! Take action NOW! and become your own boss NOW! Get out of your own way.

Amazing how you provide so much info in just 5 - 6 minutes. This one is great to get prospects to take a look at. You have the answer to all their excuses. Am off to forward this on to a few who are on the fence!

2010 is going to be a fantastic year. Thanks for today's message and for the CNN report.

It´s so true the economy is going a bit down an we have a chance to get people to an opportunity to earn money in a different way. Thank you to wake us up.

Thanks Eric for the stats! 17% unemployment in the US alone is huge. It's great to hear more and more promoting of having your own business from the experts. Now is the time, holding our events will create momentum and we're excited about that and what it will do for many people in our rural areas.

We are at the right place at the right time.
Talk to people…. talk to people…..talk to people…….

Thanks a million

I recently listened to a speech from one of our company platinums and he said that when people ask what he does, He says "I am heavily involved with a great company in network marketing". That really stuck with me and now I have heard it again from you. We need to be proud of what we are doing! Thanks Eric.

I agree. And having that attitude will show in your posture. :-)

There are SO many people out there that complain about having no money... they complain about losing their jobs... they complain about losing thier homes... etc..

Here's what I think...

First - EVERYONE should have to watch this video...

Second - after watching... they should be told that they no longer have "the right to complain"!!

VOTE For Eric! http://shortyawards.com/EricWorre

It was a great. The economy is probably making our jobs even better....we can help more people get a better paycheck in the longrun.

We have been in business for ourselves for nearly 40 years, but now we are building our fortune through Network Marketing. It IS "a stone cold fact that this is a better way", available to all who have a burning passionate desire to succeed, a willingness to work and the desire to be coached.

WOW some very different view points on the state of things and the opportunity available for us all if we just choose to take it. It is so wonderful that Network Marketing allows the average person to take hold of their life and create the one of their dreams. I totally agree with you Eric that we are at the tipping point in the Industry and the state of the economy is helping us to get over the top. Thanks to get leaders like yourself for stepping up and encouraging us all to believe we can make it happen together. Make it a great day!
God Bless!

Excellent Eric, Just Excellent man! Thanks again!

Wow,

I did not need my full cup of coffee this morning after listening to this show!! Awesome! I am passing thhis onto everyone I know. The media in any form is not something I pay attention to so thank you Eric for sharing information and link.

Eyes are opening to the message we are sharing because of tough times & fear. Amazing that they are now really looking at us!

I am jazzed for the possibilities in 2010 and beyond. It's time to make lemonade out of those lemons! I am focused on daily personal development and can already see, in this short period of time, that listening to and watching your daily videos adds such a "positive" to my day! Thank you, Eric.

I checked out that video. It is important to continue sharing 3rd party sources outside of network marketing that give our profession 3rd party credibility.

I am posting this link to my fb page! Excellent!

This is the year, "Now is the Time to start your Own Business", wow, there is a difference between pay check and profit. The continued 3 basic foundations of being successful, desire, willingness to work, and being coach able is and should be a constant reminder to each and everyone of us. Great reminder!

when you are your own boss you're the last one to get fired!

The entreprenuerial revolution is underway and we are leading the charge. I've come to understand how people still "ignore" the new reality that we are in. (Sorry if I get a little scientific here).

Scientists have recently mapped the part of our brain that reacts when one of our limiting beliefs are challenged. They call it the "Oh Sh**" circuit (really I'm not making this up). The problem is that there is another part of our brain right behind our forehead that selectively ERASES information. Therefore we are programmed to continue with bad habits (i.e. work for someone else, eat junk food, watch 4 hrs of TV) in light of information showing us that we should do the opposite.

So how do we get past this mental firewall? Repetition. That's why it's important to bring the candidates for our business from exposure to exposure. It's also important to connect with these candidates through social media (to complement our offline relationships with them) so that we can consistently deliver our message (like this CNN report) to them without being obnoxious. There will be a time that the circuits will align correctly (i.e. they will be at high noon) and they will realize that we do in fact have a better way.

Nando

Great Points! Timing is right. We all should be utilizing our business.

Two insights.One is that there is enough money for everyone:In the 1940's,a CEO made 38 times what a worker did and 2010, a CEO makes 168 times what a workers and he doesn't have provided a profit for the corporations. The greatest examples are the bankrupted banks and insurance companies like Citibank,Bank of America,and Well Fargo as well as AIG. While the companies were bailed out, the ceo's got $10 millions or more in compensations.
My passion is comparative social history not NM. So, I will probably built my "little group" to about $10,000 per month and spend the rest of life reading archives.

Awesome!

Such a powerful 5 minute message for people to take control of their lives and futures, love it!

THE YEAR OF REALITY

Is time for the world to wake up. MLM is the solution.

This truly is an amazing opportunity. I thank God for it everyday.

Rick M

Wow! It really is the year of the entrepreneur, even more the year of the Network Marketing Professional!

Thanks for the inspiration, and belief in the industry.

don't know whether to say "wow" or "duh"...yes, Network Marketers wake up, especially ME.
Many need us

Being your own boss is the only way to go. :)

Excellent. Sending it out to a fdew folks.....

If ever there was a five minute message that will shift anxieties into action, this episode is it.
As I first listened to this, I found myself pausing it frequently to take notes and link to CNN. Then I sat back, listened to it all the way through and took it in. Cliche phrases of "being blown away" or "killer" episode are trite. Quite the opposite. This one puts wind to my sails and life to the Newwork Marketing preofession. Your messsage is clear, your delivery is outstanding and the content is inspirational. Now on to share it with the world!
Thank you

Be Your Own Boss in 2010, that has nice ring to it. Great post! link was a little sketchy.

Motivational ... thank you for that

As usual, right on the money (or lack there of, as the case may be ) I will be forwarding this video to a few "fence sitters". Thanks again for all you do.

Eric - I love listening to you - Not only is your program my morning wake up call, as I've mentioned before, I'm expanding on that to add .. MY MORNING BUSINESS CALL with ERIC WORRE to start my day -
before I pick up the phone and talk to any body - YOU are such a great motivator ...

Thank You !!!

Great to have this punch of enthusiasm. Thanks a lot.

LOL! Okay...so now it's okay to start a business and talk to your friends about it...what!?!? WOW...Can we all say TIPPING POINT!? Let's keep talking to people we know (per CNN), become a LEADER (per CNN), have confidence and a long-term view (per CNN) and in 20 years we'll all look back on a successful career (per CNN!). Hmmm...it all sounds so strange...who would do that!? People who know there is a BETTER way is who! Thanks for sharing Eric!

WHAT JACKIE SAID !!

Thanks for reminding me that what I am doing is really something to be proud of. Thanks for the BOOST!

Dear Eric,
I got it.
An amazing program today, yes, we have many of the answers.
No need for a banker
No past experience
Few extra hours a day (instead of sitting in "coma" in front of the TV
A great idea/product we have.
I got it,
Thank you.

I am glad I already have a 2.5 year run at being my own boss and am now helping others do the same. Everyone needs a plan B and some income insurance!

Who else is going to be their own boss in 2010?

"it's a stone cold fact" 2010 is the year!

We, too have been effected by unemployment. That is what forced me to look into owning my own business. Truly blessed to have found network marketing.

I said it for a long time, 2010 gone be something special.
I'm geting the proof now... Love it...
As Don Harrington said it:
Thank you for your dedication to help us succeed. Your quality coaching is much appreciated.

Great information on CNN.com. Thank you for that. It will help in our approaches to why.....

So people all around the world.....LISTEN!!!! WE DO HAVE A BETTER WAY, NOW LET'S GO TELL THE WORLD!!! Thanks for this show, amazing...Regards from your biggest fan.

2010 is the year!!! NWM help me to be my own boss....I am doing my own future.

What’s that you say, you’ve got an unemployment or underemployment problem?
Watch Eric’s #217 video. Then it’s “Excuses be gone!”

Sign at a Car Dealership: "The best way to get back on your feet -
miss a car payment.”

Thanks for the CNN report!

15 years ago, when people asked me if I was hiring and if I mentioned anything about my Network Marketing business they didn't want anything to do with "that type of thing" and NOW they are looking at it the possibilities! I guess people are starting to understand that well have a better way of making income. Thanks Eric for helping make the walls of MISUNDERSTANDING come down!

The conversation has been different this year. Minds are opening and people are "getting it".

Thanks for the link to the CNN video!

Let's get Shorty(award) :)

I'm one of those people that have been laid off and starting my own business has been a blessing

Eric, Great work. Congratulations on the shorty. I would love to see you win it!

I love the assignment.....tell the world that we have a better way

Right on the money! The time is now....

Great info today regarding starting your own business.
MF

Yeah! It's moving towards us, the funny and frustrating thing is that when NM gets accepted by everyone, the people that laughed at you today would deny it tomorrow and say that of course they thought NM was a great idea ;D

Thanks for the reminder...as JM Fogg calls it "The Peoples Franchise".....A turn key operation that will change countless numbers of lives that requires 3 key ingredients that are irrespective of social/economic/education background....Burning Desire, Willingness To Work, Teachable

With the vantage point that Staffing Industry provides me with, I see people every single day who have come to desperation point and are willing to start from scratch making sometimes less than 1/6 of what they were making prior to December, 07, when the recession started. Those who take risks and decide to launch their own business by joining a successful Network Marketing career will thrive in these tough times.
Great video, Eric.
Thanks.
Fernando.

The time is right, to be your own BOSS,but are you right for the time.

Thank you for your time Eric

Yes! Because it is the only year we have right now. We can't go back and change history. Now IS the time!

Great motivation to start the day! No doubt if believe in it and share it with passion you will succeed! "The only limits are what I place on myself." thanks Erik for the morning motivation!

I fully agree with CNN. I have experienced the shrinking job market and at age 60 have been unable to find a job, any job. Employers have cut way back and would rather have one person do the work of two and pay them half as much. Network Marketing was my Plan B but is now my Plan A!
Thank you for your dedication to help us succeed. Your quality coaching is much appreciated.

This is great and goes immediately to my son-in-law, who is the most skeptical person when it comes to MLM. Thanks!

:) Tell him hello and, based upon amateur actions of many, he's had a right to be skeptical. But things are changing for those who approach this as a Profession

Unemployment rate is perfect for network marketing opportunities. Networking technology is out there; take advantage of it. Burning desire, work ethic, and coachability.

here as promised.

Great opportunity for everyone!

good information, ill check out the link.
Thanks

What fun Eric...still pinching myself that our time has finally come and all of our learning lessons will be put to good use as we coach more and more "budding" entrepreneurs! Nice sound bites "burning desire", "willingness to work" and "be coachable"-easy to repeat to people....and sometimes repeat!

Great points on network marketing--it really is the business to be in.
Thanks Eric for all that you do for this profession. You are the greatest.

Thanks Eric for the CNN link and the info! It's great to be able to reference a mainstream media article to help make our point!

Hi Eric,I love listening first thing in the morning.It gets me thinking about this business all day while I am working my "other "job(nurse). Keep it up!

I have a small business outside of Network Marketing. I like the fact that Network Marketing allows me to start something with very little and there are no limits. If I can overcome my fears and let people know we have a way out, I know I can win.

Hi Eric...
Great show today and the CNN link and video were also very informative. I agree-now is the time!

excellent

Hey Eric Unfortunately people do not and do not want to learn that another way .they are doing wath they lerened them to exchange time for money of course excuses the reasons for their lack of not success in everything that surrounds them and of course not willing to take responsibility for their lives.

Another winner, thanks Eric. Excuses are as abundant as ideas. Neither require action. This is America and a business can be started with action alone. I received "Linchpin" in the mail yesterday. This is Seth Godins new book. I strongly recommend it. Fits with this theme well. See you tomorrow.

I'll buy it today

Finally! Getting the world to have an open mind to something better than the "machine"
Thanks Eric!!
Going out to share with the people I know that we have a better way!

Very strong recap!
Good stuff and very useful!!

I love that CNN is validating what we've been saying, now is the time! Thanks Eric.

One of the most valuable life lessons that I and my children learned some years ago was the ability the media has to 'spin' a story anyway it wants. Sometimes it's important to pull away from the pack, look at things from a different perspective - our perspective - and make decisions based on our own 'gut instincts'.

Isn't this what we have been trying to say allalong? Very well put Eric!

Scarey, less people working now means less government benefits later for the unemployed.
All we have to do is "talk to people", how simple is that.

Thanks Eric

Is it really a stonecold fact or is it a burning red-hot one? ;-)
Now let's go out and tell the world that we have a better way!

Well watched this twice and almost forgot to comment. It is to true and happens everywhere. We just have to go out and tell people about apportunities we have in our hands.

I saw a quote something like that yesterday from one of the USA stations.
So people are going to the unemployment office and the government will have control over you.
Yeah, people are finally waking up but many of them have heard the bad rap about network marketing.
Some of them will be willing to learn to build a business for themselves; while others will back off.

I've seen many people willing to learn and it's nice to help them and they're enjoying it.

One of the best messages yet, Eric! Boy it sure makes you want to shout it from the rooftops doesnn't it? I love Network Marketing! Everybody can create a great future for themselves!

I am grateful to you and your staff for bringing this great information to me and the rest of the world. I hope for me as I can follow you example and make a difference in many others lives

Wow! Double WoW! I love it!!!! Thanks Eric for being the AFFIRMING and POSITIVE FORCE behind our industry and for being that "stimulus factor" that there is a better way for the global workforce!- BE YOUR OWN BOSS!

There has been a definitive shift in the economy and the workforce. Unfortunately, many have not waken up to the fact. It seems that there is a percentage of people that think things will go back to the way they were and all will be good. That is not going to happen and now is the time to really buckle down and make things happen. This is all a good thing!

If a Tipping Point has an early adoption phase, then we are well on our way and will benefit from the momentum that is being built. Given the ability to reach the masses via technology, this industry is now in full step with other business models. Thanks to you Eric and your commitment to professionalize this business model you are leading with Best Practices we can all apply to our individual Multi Level Marketing Business. I Voted for you last night for The Shorty. Getting the Worre Warriors organized to vote was a great idea. The Worre Warriors, Network Marketing Professionals, are becoming a force. Keep up the great work.

Welfare for unemployment benefit is different in Australia... it is possible for people to be on unemployment for 4 years or more. After that, people are "encouraged" (forced) to go into training, education, skills development, or "work for your welfare" which is basically being forced to work 45 hours a week for the same amount of money as the Unemployment benefit.

Surprise Surprise, Australia has the most "Welfare" and also the lowest "unemployment rate", and also has what is regarded as the strongest banking system and strongest economy of comparable nations.

See http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/mf/6202.0

See http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/news/unemployment-crunch-yet-to-hit/story-e6frg90f-1111118294601

And guess what, Australia also has probably the lowest take-up-rate for people joining Network Marketing.

Eric what you are doing is rocking the industry. This community has the ability to shape and mold the future of this industry. Together we can change the perception of network marketing for the better. Lets keep rocking and rolling.

It´s so inspiring to listen to you. Thank you Eric.

Massive opportunity for everyone ... great show Eric

That's so true. It has always, in any business, been like that. Get your message in front of as many eyeballs as possible

Hi Eric. This is going to be such a great year! I can't wait!

Mark

http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2010/01/07/be-your-own-boss-in-2010/

This is such a compelling time. People are looking for some kind of hope...and we can show it to them.

This Show is a great tool.
People! use this for your prospects.
I know I'm going to do that.
Thanks Eric & you deserve the No. 1 on the Shorty Awards. Congratulations!

2010 will be a great year for the real ambassadors. Heres to firing the boss in 2010 and taking charge of the future.

What an age of change we are seeing.
The world is definitely turning into something else and I am afraid
2010 is a year we'll have to mark as an end or beginning.

It's amazing information for everybody, who is struggling in this "New Economy". People need to stop to put their heads in the sand and open their eyes! Nobody will take care of them anymore. They must stop to blame everything and everybody in their fail! They need to act now! And our job to let them know that "We have a better way". But we need to be honest with them. And don't give them wrong expectation that they just need to join and everything will take care by itself. We must be professionals!
Thanks Eric to create professional mindset and approach of this great industry in our heads!
I think all our prospects needs to watch this video!
Thanks again for your leadership!

I followed the link and first was redirected to an entirely different video... but then I found the video you were talking about here http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2010/01/07/be-your-own-boss-in-2010/
The comments below the CNN video show every limiting belief we've all encountered when we started offering 'A Better Way'. I like the fact that everything that you've been saying all along now is being repeated on CNN... must make you SMILE BIG!!

Congratulations on achieving No. 1 on the Shorty Awards. What a brilliant idea and well deserved positioning.

Thank you Eric, we do need to be our boss to get the best out of our job, and it's even fun :)

Thank you Eric. Although I couldn't get the link to work your information alone is enough for me to forward your message on to the Doubting Thomas's.

Lets make it the best year ever. We have got enough information to make it work.
These shows contribute very much for me, they are very usefull. So is the CNN report!

Wow! Sometimes It's kind of frustrating to face the fact that,although the content of people's complaints is PERFECTLY covered by this our great industry, we keep listening to the same limiting-beliefs, same pre-programmed comments when we approach some people... I sent to you the same link with CNN news... Isn't that corious? I'm getting tuned with the "openned eyes" "openned ears" personality!!! I used to ignore this type of news based on lazy mentality... Now I'm alert! Thank you again.

This is the exact message for prospecting and to keep us in our business, just look outside and be very glad you found network marketing.

Great video clips - yours and CNN. Thanks for sharing!

I watched the CNN report a couple of days ago and found the comments interesting! WE have a huge job on our hands to communicate what we have....Thanks for highlighting this Eric, we are all in the right place at the right time and have to get better at what we know and do.

I love it. This is what life's about. Learning to be a true entrepreneur and stepping out of living in the rat race forever!! Super video yet to the point...Thank You!! Looking 4ward to the next one!! :)

2010 is going to be great for network marketing. Everywhere we look there are reasons for this better way...and Eric is showing us that way so that we can, individually, become leaders whilst enjoying the journey.

Fantastic!!! This is where we need to be! But Eric, I to could not make the link work!

That link on your show is not working for me, however, I found this about unemployment in US, on CNN (December, 8)
http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2010/01/08/ct.sylvester.out.of.work.cnn?iref=allsearch
Scary!

Love you all
Alfredo

Awesome show. :)

Eric you are so right about this issue. Thanks.

Excited is just the first word of what I am feeling.I truley belive that 2010 its gonna be the best year ever.

Best regards
Mailen

I get the feeling here I can't postpone my part in 'let's go tell the world' any further:)

I have been my own boss for 30 years. It is the only way !
And now we have a better way..... I'll tell the world,for sure.

Hi Team
Eric can quite rightly to be excited. I can also feel the momentum building, it is an unstoppable force. The tipping point towards NM is here, 2010 is the year. What we must do is ensure we are very professional to how we go about our business making sure that Skill Set training is our no: 1 priority with new recruits and that the "old ways" are well and truely behind us. Welcome to 21st centurry NM. "We have a better way".

Kind regards
Peter Ragg

I will sure make 2010 to my best year ever by talking to everyone!!

Thanks Eric
There is no doubt that I tell people about the wonderful business we have.
We are at the beginning of a crazy decade. Year breaks all boundaries

The next 3 to 5 years are going to be exciting for Network Marketers. So many people are finally getting it and open to listening. It's no wonder why over 175,000 people are joining this great industry every week. Now let's go out there and show them the professional way.

This is so good! MLM is possible for everyone, but most people don´t even care to take a look. Could we send this part as a commercial on national TV? =) Network marketing is a better way!

Will continue talking to people. Thanks!

Hey Eric,
I love those news...... ;-)
Let's go and tell the world!

Eric, thank you for sharing. I will spread the word. Great information.

everyone should see this one! absolutely! I will show it for my friends and prospects!

Thanks Eric, for keeping us posted on issues that are in our advantage.
Indeed, isn't it amazing how these economic times help us to help others in generating cashflow...
and thus help ourselves. We have a better way...

Good news! And this is great information. This show going to be one of my prospecting tool. :-)

Yes Sir...all the way Networking Mrktng is the now & the future! Today is my Birthday and YOUR "Is 2010 the best year EVER to be your own Boss"...is the best present I could EVER ask for because the answer is YES!! Thanks Eric, I love your enthusiasm.

Happy birthday

Amazing :-) It´s time to share the movie with my friends and prospects. If they dont understand this message, then what??
Thanks Eric :-)

Oh and I almost forgot,Congrats on the Shorty Award!Now'a the time to get started in a new business....Networking! Network Marketing That lady almost came right out & said it! Sorry for posting 2 times,but this is all very good stuff!

WOW! I really enjoyed that message. It is interesting to hear that the mainstream media is suggesting the things that we need to do as network marketers anyway. I imagine that this kind of reporting can help clear the way for more acceptance of network marketing as a viable way to earn an income.

Tremendous point, Eric. We just need to get the Good Ideas out there. we are using many more news articles to help get this info out there. Absolutely ready educate the public and keep it up. They really need us right now! Thanks so much, Eric, you are doing a fantastic service.

Aloha Eric, it just goes to show that we really do have a better way and we have something to offer that everyone needs, whether or not they believe it, YET. :)

When you make the decision that is when your year becomes the best so far.
I am determined to make 2010 my best year and help to all those who want to change their lives.
Yes...we do have a better way!

WWWWWOW! I LIKE IT VERY MUCH. We have a better way. no doubt ! I'm going to share your movie today with my frinds and prospacts.

I know it's cliche but... this is as timely as the day's news! CNN is a "credible" resource for all those doubters out there. Thanks for sharing Eric!

Thanks Eric - this is golden!
The right time, the right opportunity, the right training, the right products, the right compensation programs.
Low entry cost. No training necessary - just bring people to events and remember no to "take that class" when people don't come or don't stick at it because "that's just the way it is". Let the events and experienced leaders plus the motivation that comes from being around positive, non-competing, supportive peers maintain spirit and build momentum. And in many of the businesses half of you business may be being built for you by your upline. I'm getting it!!!

Hmmm......Short of a labor force,when they are the ones who keep down sizing.Thank goodness there is a better way!

Hey Eric, congrats for the Shorty award. Feels good when you finally get the recognition you deserve. This business is soon going to skyrocket and take its place within the "establishment"

Eric, the media should be named the "spinners" because they spin everything the way they need it to be heard. This is a great time to be in our industry

I will hand this CNN report to everyone I see, in the coffee houses, the schools, in the malls, at the market. Great for the non believers, this might open their eyes to NWM

Thanks for that one! Yes, I am so proud to be with my company! I am on the cutting edge of the industry... Love it!

Passion is huge... I was listening to an audio the other day that said the #1 thing that millionaires have in common was PASSION! Let's make 2010 the best year ever!

yes!!!
the world is waking up. NetworkMarketing is the real way to work with tons of people and they are not your employees. you work under many up lines and they are not your bosses.
you are your own boss and you have thousends of people helping you to creat your income.

power to the NetworkMarketing!!!!

Ron Ackerman - Israel

Love it. One tries to mask the reality opting to pander to the masses, the other tries to get it right.
At least they tried.

Eric, the real news behind the spin goes like this:

The total workforce is the number of people currently working PLUS the number of people looking for a job.

The unemployment rate is that percentage of the total workforce that is looking for a job.

When CNN reports that the unemployment rate is steady because of a decline in the overall workforce, it's because there are less people looking for a job who don't have one, not because they find jobs, it's because they are exiting the workforce by GIVING UP looking for a job! Yes, things are that bad.

Take it from a guy who majored in Economics at Brown.

Yeah, but isn't it crazy how the media want to keep talking about the % of people getting unemployment benefits as their main job related statistic? Amazing

First-time applicants for unemployment benefits is a stat that is repeated in the news all the time, so I guess the media is using it now out of either their own inertia, or because they have trained us to look at misery in the economy that way. Explaining this reality about people opting out of the workforce by giving up altogether and it's masking effect on the unemployment rate would waste precious minutes away from advertising for cholesterol or male-enhancement medications. A missing nugget of insight as it relates to our industry about this increasing number of people who have GIVEN UP looking for a job is this opportunity for us to introduce OUR opportunity them!

Another uncounted group is the self-employed business owners, contractors etc who have gone out of business and who never qualified for unemployment benefits.

Best year to be your own boss? I`m not sure. 2009 could have been just as good, but the timing IS good and the next 10 years will be our decade :)

That was fantastic, we do have a better way!!!! CNN that is great Ammo to use in our arsenal!
Thanks Eric,

Barry

There now

going to bed excited about being in this industry! after a day of a handful of i'm not ready's and a handful of other interesting comments, i'm still in. thank you eric!

Amen brother, awesome report. One of my mentors likes answering the question "why do you read so much about the job market and related subjects?" by jokingly saying "Know your enemy." I love it, thanks for the awesome info, I would like more of that on occasions.

Thanks for sharing! Its stuff like that makes me feel so proud and blessed to be part of this industry!

I Love it, thanks. I will spread the word.
Where is the link?

Hi Eric, Great information. I will print the article out and have it in writing. I appreciate you keeping us up to date with the world, while we curtail our TV time in order to fire the boss!

Dude I made a comment on that CNN blog post. Then I got all the comments via email and there was a comment response to a poster, Meredith by a poster “Eric” and I just knew that was you…

That WAS you wasn’t it? I know you!

Mine came up after yours but I’d responded to that same poster… how funny.

“no chance in Hell” sure sounds like a limiting belief to me too

Oh and BTW… Shorty Awards:

Who’s #1!!!!! Way to Go NMPRO Community! We should all be proud that our Eric with about 9k twitter followers is in front of a guy with about a quarter MILLION twitter followers!

Eric I think there’s a few lessons on the power of community and caring in there somewhere. I expect to see something about this in an upcoming NMPRO episode.

Oh and I read your interview and this one was flipping hilarious!

What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Hm m nt sr f I hv ne

It took me a min to figure it out but when I did I lol’d my ass off!

:) Love ya man
