MLM, you decide

Jordan Adler is one of the top income earners in Network Marketing, in the world.  This is a great interview for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of what it takes to be successful in this business. Jordan’s story is incredible.  At 34, he was living in an enclosed garage. His rent was $200 a month and he had two roommates. He carried $36,000 in credit card debt on 22 credit cards, and his job paid him $14K per year. Over the past 27 years, he's become one of the top network marketers in the world, earning an excess of over $23 million. Jordan wrote the worldwide bestselling book, “Beach Money”, and 100% of his book sales profits go to charity.  His book has been out for 10 years and still sells thousands of copies each year. He just launched a second book, “Better than Beach Money” in 2019. And he just launched a new publishing company, “Beach Money Publications”.  Jordan splits his time between two mountain homes and a condo on the Vegas strip and of course, the beach. Four years ago, he decided to get his helicopter pilot's license for fun, and recently purchased his own helicopter. He's also scheduled to become the first network marketer to travel to space as part of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic civilian space program.  Jordan believes in big dreams and says working hard and never quitting is the secret to his success.

Laura and Janine talk with Jordan about many of the aspects of the Network Marketing that contribute to some of the main misconceptions.  He talks about how many people get into Network Marketing, and get back out without ever doing anything with it.  He equates this to the fact that the nature of people in general is that they don’t stick to things they start.   He uses the analogy of a gym and how many people join, but then six months later, have quit going.  Much like folks who get their real estate license…out of 100 agent’s, about a third usually quit immediately…never selling a single home, a third of them will sell one home a year, maybe two, a third of them will do a little more than that.  But, one or two out of 100 or two, will do something significantly.  It’s the same with Network Marketing….because it’s just the nature of people.

Jordan shares a lot of insights he’s learned from being in the business, and how he applies the statistics he’s captured, based on human nature,  to this business.  Jordan has discovered that it typically takes three to five touch points before somebody will make a decision to say yes, which is why following up is so important in Network Marketing.  He teaches people lots of different “touch points” to stay connected, because he knows that the people who do that are the ones that are most successful!

Laura and Janine continue with their career comparison series to help people who are looking to pivot right now, hear from those who have made the transition traditional careers into Network Marketing/MLM.  This is an enlightening interview for anyone in the medical profession as well as for Boomers who may be surprised by the insights that Judy shares.   Judy speaks from her heart about all of the reasons she feels blessed to have found Network Marketing at this stage in her life.  Judy was a 68 when she was introduced to Network Marketing.  She is an retired RN, who spent over 40 years in the medical field.  Her background includes hospital emergency department director, private nurse for a doctor, hospital nurse educator, and with a regional director for organ bank, hospital advocate, and telemetry unit staff, nurse.

Besides the lifestyle that her new career has provided, Judy also shares another aspect of this business that she loves. “If you're in the hospital setting, you get a patient and you patch them up, and you send them home, and you don't ever see them again.  With network marketing, you get to know people.  It's like; these people are going to be our friends and family for life. I don't have to patch them and send them off.”

Judy talks about how one of the things that concerned her at first is that she didn’t want to bother people. She didn’t want them to feel like she was using their friendship for her financial gain…but she quickly realized that she was not doing that, at all.  And that people don’t think that, because they realize that she is simply listening to find out what they need.  And if they need something, she offers it.  She’s looking for people who are looking for her, and there are a lot of people in the world who are looking for something right now.

What is the mindset shift from being an employee to being an entrepreneur? 

The pandemic has caused many people to suddenly find themselves with a need to pivot in their career. Network Marketing/MLM is an option that most might not consider because of the misconceptions, so we thought it would be helpful to do a series of interviews with folks from various backgrounds who have made the transition from traditional careers to Network Marketing/MLM.  We hope that these interviews will be shared with those who may be searching for options, and might find this information helpful.

This interview will focus on one type of business that has been particularly affected….restaurants and the people who work in that field.

Janine and Laura talk with J Michael Smith, a Boomer, and former restauranteur who talks about his experience of making that transition. His background includes more than 35 years of owning and operating restaurants in Colorado and Hawaii.  He was introduced to Network Marketing in 2008 during the recession, and loves to help folks with similar backgrounds evaluate this opportunity for themselves.

Laura and Janine hear from Dr. Danielle Daniel. Danielle is a Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and the founder of Brave.Foundation, which serves kids and young adults who have been sex-trafficked and abused.  Danielle is making a difference in the world…she speaks globally and loves empowering others to create the life of their dreams. She built her Network Marketing business alongside of a full time job, and was able to retire by the age of 38.

Danielle shares how she found Network Marketing, but almost missed it because of her misconceptions about the magnitude of this kind of opportunity.  She discovered that by using Network Marketing to create financial freedom, she had the opportunity to actually do more of what she loves, and to make a bigger difference in the world than she could have if she followed the traditional vocational path.  Danielle is passionate about helping others understand why it’s so important to have a backup plan in our lives. Both Danielle and her mother experienced health challenges that prevented them from being able to work, but because she had already built her Network Marketing business, she remained financially secure during a very challenging time in her life.

Danielle believes that remaining hopeful is critical to achieving success.  Always believing that someway, somehow, everything is going to work out.
