There I was this morning, knuckles cracked and ready to send out the final instalment in my series on Carlos and Lupe Garcia's "Traffic Tactics" seminar when there it was.

One of the most one-sided emails I've ever seen on the topic of network marketing from one of my mentors none the less. I was in complete shock.

The last instalment for Traffic Tactics is going to have to wait until after this . . .

The email was from a true veteran in the network marketing arena, I guy who's been through it all and seen it all, and a guy I look to for advice.

I did a double take, but there the message was clear as day. He was bashing what he called "Network Marketing" gurus for teaching people the skills of self-branding and independent lead generation.

He said 99% of network marketers don't care or want to know how to either brand themselves in their business or learn the skill of lead generation and further he said they didn't have the mental capacity to do it.

I shook my head.

What a defeatist and pessimistic point of view.

None the less from a guy sending out an email to a list of subscribers he had created through personal lead generation and self-branding.

Reducing his subscribers to the level of mindless drones to be feed a simple job and told to do it without independent thought or innovation.

If that's the version of network marketing that really exists in the world we're in for some tough times, but that's not what I believe.

I believe that the network marketing industry is filled with highly motivated and innovative individuals that don't want to be fed a job to do without personal thought or insight.

I believe network marketing is an industry where true leaders rise through from circumstances that they never thought they would overcome to do great things and live a great lifestyle for it.

It's an industry where leaders create themselves and get their just rewards. It's the fairest industry on the planet.

I can think of no other place or circumstance where an individual with a few hundred dollars and a HUGE dream can become a millionaire within a few short years.

I think that you have that future waiting for you. I don't think you are one of the 99% that he was talking about as hopeless and to be simply told what to do because that's all your mind can handle.

How do I know?

Because I started from nothing, and if I can do it so can do you, but not if I limit you with my expectations - I believe in limitless possibilities for you even if you don't.

Why?

Because there was a time when I was told that one day I would have a huge downline when I didn't think it would be possible, it was a glimmer of hope I held on too and now to this day I remember that statement and gain strength from it, so I say it to you.

I believe and I can see the day when money no longer enters the equation in anything you do and you'll have a thriving organization that grows without effort.

I believe there will be a day when you look back and you'll say . . . "How did I get so lucky? Do I really deserve all this?"

And the answer is . . . Yes you do!

And if want to do it online I'm waiting for you so that I can lead you down the TRUE path of the independent network marketer, not one filled with "Do this and just keeping doing it till it works" a path where you learn the lay of the land and master it because you do.
