"Spirituality is about Liberation.  It's about liberating your mind from narrow thinking, beliefs that are not true, small paradigms so that you are actually liberating energy from within you so that you can express the highest and best within you.  A spiritual individual is one that is liberating themselves from the false notions of life so that they can be a strong beneficial presence right here on Earth."

The Secret's John Assaraf

Ashoka     

"Social Entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish, or teach how to fish.  They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry."

 Bill Drayton, Ashoka CEO and Chair

Ashoka envisions a world where EVERYONE is a Change Maker; a world that responds quickly and effectively to social challenges, and where each individual has the freedom, confidence and societal support to address any social problem and drive change.

Ashoka strives to shape a global, entrepreneurial, competitive citizen sector: one that allows Social Entrepreneurs to thrive and enables the world's citizens to think and act as Change Makers.

Social Entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social problems.  They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change.

Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, Social Entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by the changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps.

Ashoka is looking for the Andrew Carnegies, Henry Fords, and Steve Jobs of the citizen sector.

"The engaged global community of Social Entrepreneurs that Ashoka has fostered, helps each one of them to have more impact than would have been possible individually."

Pierre Omidyar, Ebay Founder and Ashoka Investor

Before we get to our main topic, I would like to highlight some really great quotes that I found on John Milton Fogg's website from ordinary citizens, on what Network Marketing has meant to them.  These quotes are the PERFECT appetizer to the main course and are in response to the following:

"The Greatest Thing About Network Marketing Is...

"The incredible freedom...fun...and the money!  How sweet it is!"

Bob - Thornwood, NY

"To work when I choose, having time freedom.  Why settle for a salary when you can have unlimited income potential?"

Matt - Panama City Beach, FL

"Where else will you find more people committed to improving their lives and the lives of millions of others?"

John - Crozet, VA

"Teaching people how to have more time for fishing, no matter what their "fishing" is, in a way that honors their values."

John - Minden, NE

"Having the time and money to do whatever I want and spend every day with the love of my life."

Brad - Encino, CA

"The ability to help others and make money - and feel good about both endeavors."

Mark - Charlotte, NC

"New relationships, friendships and partnerships, helping others with their health personal development and wealth."

Jakki - United Kingdom

"I can do it from home, making my own hours. Being there for my kids...Network Marketing is an answer to my prayers!"

Colleen - Inman, SC

*My own personal take on all of the above quotes is summed up, in a nutshell, in just ONE word: The Greatest Thing About Network Marketing Is...

FREEDOM!

"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other."

Now, On To The Main Course...

The Spirituality of MLM/Network Marketing

By Pamela K. Jones

"When I read in Fortune magazine that Warren Buffet, the billionaire investor and one of the world's richest men, was investing in a Network Marketing Company, I decided I was missing something."

David Bach, author of "Start Late, Finish Rich"

I personally owe a debt of gratitude to the Network Marketing Industry because it was through Network Marketing that I first discovered my passion and love of Nutrition more than 12 years ago.  I have been a Nutrition Advocate, Researcher and Nutritional Consultant ever since and I know that a major part of my "calling" is to help bring improved, if not optimum nutrition and health to the masses.  I think that this becomes very obvious when you study The Secret Wealth Network's System For Success.  Creating Wealth for it's participants is only part of it's truly HUGE vision and mission.  

This is because I realize the absolute truth in the following quote:

"The First Wealth is Health."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Network Marketing or MLM has received an unjustly bad reputation and perception by many.  In some cases, people have abused a good idea for their own selfish reasons, and in many cases, dishonest practices have perpetuated that bad reputation and perception.  However, that was the fault of the individuals involved...and can't the same complaint be made for every business model in existence? 

Hmmm...a business model that has NEVER been affected by unethical deeds or had people who engaged in dishonest practices.  Let me know when you can think of just ONE!

What is that old saying..."one bad apple does not spoil the whole barrel"?

Wise words indeed!

The TRUE reality is that the basic concept behind Network Marketing is not only very sound, but it's actually quite brilliant, in my humble opinion.  I would even go so far to say that the Network Marketing concept is HIGHLY SPIRITUAL...in a non-religious or non-dogmatic way, of course! 

This is because the ONLY way that you can succeed in Network Marketing is by HELPING OTHERS to succeed.  The more people you help succeed, the more successful you become.  It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a success of any kind in Network Marketing if you are only interested in insuring your own success. 

Network Marketing today is a $100 billion business world-wide, (some $30 billion of it in the US)   A few more interesting tid bits about Network Marketing include:

• Several years ago, one of Billionaire Investor, Warren Buffet's largest acquisitions was The Pampered Chef, a Network Marketing Company.
• Also, Warren Buffet reportedly acquired 7 additional Network Marketing Companies in 2007 alone. 
• The World's 2 Largest Cosmetic Companies, Avon and Mary Kay Cosmetics, are Network Marketing Companies.
• One out of every six people in Japan participate in Network Marketing. (What do the Japanese know that we have failed to recognize in the U.S...until now!)
• Network Marketing is currently being taught at major universities, including Harvard University and the University of Illinois.
• Network Marketing is also currently being used by the following major corporations as part of their distribution methods:  Sprint/MCI, AT&T, Citibank, Sun Micro Systems, IBM,..to name just a few!
• Forbes Magazine has reported that 79 Million Americans are projected to start their own businesses within the next 3 years. 
• More millionaires have been created in Network Marketing than in any other business model.

 In regard to Billionaire Warren Buffet, he is even quoted as saying of his acquisition of The Pampered Chef, "It's the best investment I've ever made."  When Warren Buffet talks (or invests), others pay attention because he is well-known for sniffing out trends long before they manifest or getting in on the ground floor of an industry that he predicts will be outrageously profitable in the future. 

Is it any wonder why he now owns so many Network Marketing Companies?

Billionaire Richard Branson must have been listening to Mr. Buffet because Branson now also owns a Network Marketing Company!

"Right now, as you read these words, there are about 70,000 people around the world who are not Network Marketers...and by the same time tomorrow, will be."

John David Mann   Editor-in-Chief Of Networking Times

Best Selling Author, Economist and Futurist Paul Zane Pilzer predicted in 2005,  that within the next 10 years, the US economy will create 10 Million New Millionaires...and that the majority of them will be created in Network Marketing.

"Two generations ago, going to work for a Company was "security", and working for yourself from your home was "risky".  Today, it's gone the other way around."

Paul Zane Pilzer  author of "The Next Millionaires"

To prove Mr. Pilzer's point:

Did You Know...

• The U.S. Department Of Labor estimates that today's learner will have 10 to 14 jobs by age 38?
• That, again, according to the U.S. Department Of Labor...1 out of 4 workers today is working for a company for whom they have been employed for less than 1 year?
• That, more than 1 out of 2 are working for a company for whom they have worked less than 5 years?
• That, according to former Secretary Of Education Richard Riley, the top 10 jobs that will be in demand in 2010 didn't exist in 2004?

(This means that we are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist...using technologies that haven't yet been invented...in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet!)

• That Nintendo invested more than $140 million in research and development in 2002 alone?
• That the U.S. Federal Government spent less than half as much as Nintendo did on research and development on research and innovation in education during that same time period?
• That there are more school kids with a Genius IQ in China than there are school kids in the entire United States?
• That the amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years.  This means that for students starting a four year technical or college degree, half of what they learn in their first year of study will be OUTDATED by their third year of study?

I could go on...but I won't.   Knowledge is POWER ladies and gentlemen!  This is the way things REALLY are, the true reality of our situation...outside of the illusion!

In regard to Network Marketing, unlike the corporate and professional business world, (which is where the above statistics originate from), there is absolutely NO competition in Network Marketing.  You actually want others to succeed because this only increases your success. 

There is NO ceiling of any kind...the sky is literally the limit.  There is NO age, race, language, or any other  kind of discrimination or barrier in Network Marketing.  There is absolutely NO back stabbing, office politics, infighting, or "brown nosing" in Network Marketing.  None of the usual pitfalls and problems involved in working a traditional 9 to 5 job or career exists in Network Marketing.

"I believe that you can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."  

Zig Ziglar 

Network Marketing is truly the "people helping people"  business and this is why I so clearly see and appreciate it's innate spirituality.  I have been drawn to study the Network Marketing concept for the last 17 years and the spirituality of this very unique business model has always struck me. It's fun and it's the ONLY business in the world that I know of where you can go out and help people get what they want...and actually change their lives for the better...and in the process, get all that you have ever dreamed of. 

This is Service at it's best and most meaningful.  We have lived in a society that pretty much preached the gospel of "looking out for number one".  You see it on such a wide spread level that this has become a measure for success in many cases.  People were taught that destroying the "so called" competition is the mark of a true business leader. 

I look at the HUGE disparity in incomes between the corporate team and CEOs and the employees who are the most important link in making any business profitable. I look at companies closing their doors or being taken over or eaten up by larger corporate entities/conglomerates and the employees being left out in the freezing cold while the CEOs are given tens of millions of dollars in bail out money, while the employees receive virtually nothing...only a pink slip. 

I could go on and on.  I am very happy to say that all future indications are that this line of thinking and doing business is fading fast, even if it still "seems" like it's not.  The point that I am also trying to make is that NONE of this could ever happen in Network Marketing! 

The old saying goes, "It's lonely at the top".  That's only true when you have to step on other people to get there.  If you reach the top by helping others in Network Marketing, it won't be lonely since you will have so many of your friends and associates with you along for the exciting ride!  

How cool is that?

With Network Marketing, you can now have the benefits of a traditional business, but without the headaches.  It is easy to get started and does not require a major investment.  You can begin by receiving a secondary income without quitting your job,  (yet), if you want.  There are no special skills required and most Network Marketing businesses are very duplicable.  It's an income opportunity with a very low risk and can have an extremely high potential return. 

You are also in business for yourself , meaning that you are your own boss!  You have time freedom. YOU decide what hours you want to work, not a boss or supervisor.  Because you will most likely work your business from the comfort of your home, (a home based business),  you will have the ultimate tax shelter.  I could go on and on about the many REAL benefits of starting and working your own Network Marketing business.

Here are two excellent quotes from Social Entrepreneur, Best Selling Author and Visionary and author of the new best selling book "Tribes", Seth Godin, which perfectly describes the power of what Godin calls "Tribes", which is another name for Networks.  Tribes and Networks are most definitely the wave of the future.  They are the "New Paradigm".

"Tribes grow when people recruit other people.  That's how ideas spread as well.  They don't do it for you, of course.  They do it for each other.  Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work."

Seth Godin

"Marketing is now about leadership, about leading a tribe, about assembling and connecting and interacting with a group of people on a mission.  Marketing is now about creating a movement."

Seth Godin

The Secret Wealth Network's Business Model or "Movement" capitalizes on 2 Gigantic Trends at the SAME TIME:

Network Marketing and the Health and Wellness Industry!

For example, the Health and Wellness Industry is projected to become a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY BY 2010...within the next 2 years!

The Secret Wealth Network has positioned itself to fully maximize the amazing benefits of both of these unstoppable trends...simultaneously, while giving back to humanity in a tremendously HUGE way.  

This amazing feat could ONLY be accomplished via the Geometric Magic of Network Marketing!

However, in the midst of all of this "good news", I would like to offer a word of caution.  Do not join The Secret Wealth Network ONLY to make money.  Many people get involved with Network Marketing Opportunities, some jumping from one opportunity to another, because they have making money as their SOLE motivation or because they have financial problems.  They get themselves in a financial "rut" and then go looking for a business opportunity to "solve" their problems.  Needless to say, these people are not successful Network Marketers.

What these well intentioned people fail to realize is that going into ANY business, network marketing or otherwise, with any sense of desperation, fear, or a "lack or scarcity based mindset", will only MAGNIFY their original problem, not solve it, and ensure failure in any business opportunity they participate in. 

You simply cannot solve a problem with the same thinking, mindset, consciousness or vibration which created the problem in the first place.  You MUSTchange, evolve, transcend your present mindset and consciousness to enable you to think differently, more positively and more creatively.  To think more expansively!  

A phrase that I came across recently states, "If you want to earn more, you have to learn more."  This is the KEY to becoming more aware, thinking differently, more expansively, and it's a MAJOR reason for what this website is all about, why it was created.  It was created in large part to give you as many tools as possible to learn, expand, evolve, transform, heal, change....to grow! 

Money or financial difficulties should not be your SOLE motivating factor.  Of course, we all want to earn money, to be prosperous, to get out of debt, to end money concerns once and for all.  We all want abundance and this is nothing to be ashamed of because abundance is our Divine Birthright.

This can most definitely happen with The Secret Wealth Network if you keep the following objective in mind.  According to Robert Kiyosaki, author and creator of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" enterprise, the two main reasons to join and succeed in The Secret Wealth Network or any other Network Marketing business are as follows:

• Reason #1 - is to help yourself.
• Reason #2 - is to help others.

According to Kiyosaki, if you join for only one of these two reasons, then the system will not work for you.

Reason number one means that you come to The Secret Wealth Network primarily to FREE AND LIBERATE YOURSELF from the severe limitations of being a 9 - 5 employee or a traditional small business owner/professional, and to expand and evolve in the process.

Reason number two means that you come to The Secret Wealth Network primarily to help others to do the same thing.  These two reasons are both equal and it is in this realization that your success in The Secret Wealth Network, or any other Network Marketing vehicle, will be virtually guaranteed!

Creating wealth is not about only creating financial wealth.  It is about creating wealth in every aspect of your life.  It's about creating wealth in your health, relationships, family, spirituality, philanthropy...every aspect of your life. 

One of the most powerful laws in the Universe states that "you cannot give away what you don't own."  You can't give away money if you don't have money, you can't truly love someone if you don't love yourself, you can't truly care for someone if you don't care for yourself...I could go on and on. 

The point is that it all begins with YOU, the individual, and then expands out to include your family, loved ones, friends, and, eventually the rest of the world.  So, in actuality, only in beginning with yourself, "the man or woman in the mirror", can you truly help and benefit others.  By the way, this can all be done simultaneously!

This is the most amazing time in our history and let no one even try to convince you of anything less.  As a matter of fact, if anyone tells you that it is anything less, take a close look at the world and life that this particular person lives in and honestly ask yourself, "Is that the life and reality that I choose to live in also?"   Whatever way you answer that question..it's your choice to make!

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great."

Rhonda Byrne, the creator and producer of The Secret, and everyone else involved with it's creation has done humanity a HUGE service beyond our present imagination.  The Secret provided the opening that humanity desperately needed and it came at a very critical point in time. The Secret has also been the catalyst for me and thousands of other "change agents" to take the ball and run with these principles in service to all mankind, which is what The Secret Wealth Network is all about.  

I ask you...what could be more Spiritual than that???

"The "Secret" teaches us that we should visualize everything already having taken place; so, by letting go of the Old Paradigm and beginning to operate in the new, we are literally allowing the New to manifest.  When we let go, and walk through the doorway to the New World, we never look back, we never focus on how "unfair" life has been, and we are totally open to new systems that are now arriving.  Many people are resisting this idea, and clinging to the old for dear life.  They are afraid to let go, as their egos struggle to maintain control.  When we do finally let go, we will find a whole New World opens up to us.  A world of faith, hope, health, peace and prosperity."

The question now becomes...what are YOU going to do with this wisdom that you have been given? 

Do you become a Conscious Creator for the good of yourself, your family and possibly the world....or is it just "business as usual", remaining "as is" static and unaware?

It's your choice and make no mistake, whatever shows up in your life is a consequence of that choice, as has always been the case.  The only difference now is that you have an awareness that it's your
