Network Marketing Is a Product Based Business
By Jairaj Menon
Network marketing, as it is plied in India, is the only marketing business which does not emphasize on marketing products in spite of the word, ‘marketing’, tagged to the business opportunity! This is very ironical indeed! Though the whole business of network marketing exists for marketing goods and services yet, unfortunately, the practitioners of this business in India have emphasized only on recruiting people into their network by selling the promise or dream, as they call it, of getting fabulously rich! People who get into this business mainly to recruit are not business owners in the real sense of the word because real business, in its most basic form, involves trade or exchange of goods or services for money. Those who develop this business by emphasizing on the marketing aspect should need to know the basics of business.

Your business becomes purposive and result oriented on the basis of three things:

1. Target audience that is, finding the right people.
2. Offering the right product for that audience
3. Making authentic and creative presentation.

Target Audience:
Majority of those who are in network marketing opportunity make the mistake of inviting everybody who they know and come into contact with to their business meets, often, by hiding the purpose of their invitation. If you try to develop your business by doing this often then you and your business will be hated the way telemarketers are hated! You should know that everybody is not your client; no product in the world is bought by every individual living on the planet! You need to learn how to target your audience. It is said 40% of the success of your business depends on rightfully targeting your audience!

The Right Product:
Once you have your target audience, they ought to be offered the right product. In today’s business world only those businesses will prosper which offer solutions not merely commodities! Again it is said that 40% of the success depends on offering the right solution to the right people!

Authentic and creative presentation:
Presentation is not sales pitch, it is laying authentic facts in a creative manner because you believe your target audience needs to have the information that you possess. It is said 20% of the success of your business is based on the authenticity of your presentation. Information is another vital pillar of the business world today.

It is important to know that people will buy from you if:
1. You have a genuine solution to their problem
2. You offer them an advantage that they want but they don’t have with them.

Professional Approach Needed for Building a Business Network.
By Jairaj Menon
Building a business network is like constructing machinery it requires skill and it needs to be strong, durable, efficient and productive. To achieve all this you need to focus on education appropriate to building a business network.

Let us take a look at the flaws that exist among those who are involved in building a micro business network popularly known as network marketing or multi level marketing or direct selling business:

1. Those who are involved in network marketing are too bombastic, that is they consider the products they sell or the opportunity they are associated with as the best in the world , and also make false claims, such as it is endorsed by the United Nations when the fact is no branded product is ever endorsed by a public body like the United Nations and they also associate unrealistic reasons for joining their business opportunity, such as for achieving financial freedom, owning jet planes, palatial houses and so on in 2 to 5 years rather than simply associating it to just owning a business.

2.They hide the fact that it is a marketing opportunity and sale of products or services is at the base of the opportunity.

3.They present the opportunity in such a way as though it is a royal road to riches.

4. They prospect every individual they come across when that individual is least prepared to be prospected.

5. They invite people to their business meets through subterfuge, ( that is by hiding the real intention of inviting them.).

6. They make false claims concerning incomes of some of the people involved in the business and hide the fact that sustained incomes are based on sustained business volumes which, as in any business, can fluctuate.
7. Too much insistence on attending rally type seminars and business meets and subscription to business tools.

These are some of the flaws that one often comes across in those who are involved in developing this opportunity as a business opportunity! The fundamentals of any business should be very strong and these flaws weaken the fundamentals considerably. The reasons behind why these flaws creep in lie in the fact that those who are building this opportunity are not exposed to sound professional business education and are also deficient in the fundamentals of building a business network.

The responsibility of exposing people to this kind of education lies with the people whose team a person joins when he signs into the business as there is no University course dedicated to building a business network similar to an MBA programme.

The flaws mentioned above can be corrected through a professional approach:
1. Instead of showing school boy enthusiasm for the products and the business opportunity, you should be realistic and scientific in your presentation this requires sound product knowledge and also the science behind the need for those products.

2. Hiding the facts of the business, such as the need to sell products and services as it is primarily a marketing business, amounts to cheating and converts it from a business opportunity to a scam. Professionalism demands placing facts honestly.

3. Presenting the business as an easy road to success again amounts to falsification because all businesses have certain ways of working them and they have to be learned. There is no easy road to success in any field.

4. To sell products or sponsor someone into your business, you need to find the right kind of people and again there is a professional method of finding that out which again you need to learn.

5. You won’t need to use any subterfuge if you are professionally trained and have short listed the right kind of people to show your products or business opportunity.

6. Network marketing business is a business so like any other business it will have its fluctuations and there is no need to make some people heroes of this business and present them as evergreen heroes. Any business opportunity gets accepted not because of the achievements of any so called heroes or stars of that business, it gets accepted on the basis of how sound the fundamentals of that business are!

7. The beauty of building a business network lies in its flexi approach to things and this is supported beautifully by modern technology, such as the internet, android apps and so on. The focus should be on education which is largely recommendatory not mandatory.

Building a business network is an added feather in your financial cap but it has to be built and to build anything you need to have the desire backed by proper know-how! So if you are in a network marketing business or thinking of joining one then insist on receiving sound organized education such that your fundamentals will be strong not flawed.

Unstable Atoms and Health
Jairaj Menon
All matter( physical things) is composed of atoms. Atoms can be stable or unstable. Unstable atoms release energy and this energy is called radiation. Light, heat, radio waves, microwaves are everyday examples of radiation. This form of radiation does not cause any significant health problems. Ionizing radiation is what is really harmful to health. There are two types of radiation ionizing and non- ionizing. Non-ionizing radiation such as light, heat, radio waves or microwaves, does not harm the human cells. Ionizing radiation like X rays and cosmic rays ( U V rays) can harm the cells in the body either directly or indirectly. The direct effect of ionizing radiation on the cell results in DNA damage. When this happens the cells either die or mutate( change form). Indirect effect of radiation on the cells results in cell damage because of change of the structure of the cell. Our bodies contain organs, organs are made of tissues, tissues are made of cells, cells are made of molecules, and finally molecules are made of atoms. All biological damage (health damage) begins at the lowest level with damage to atoms forming cells and progresses to the highest level with damage to the whole body. We cannot escape radiation or the effect of unstable atoms it’s everywhere both natural (cosmic rays from the sun and the star) and man-made (X-rays, scanners and so on). We take radio active elements through food, water and the air we breathe. Internal radiation exists in all living beings. Our blood and bones contain trace quantities of radio active elements such as potassium, carbon and radium. Although the human body in most cases is equipped to deal with these hazards but it has its limits. Our human body is very ancient and our modern world is so different compared to the time when the human body was designed. We are exposed to all kinds of radiation much more than was the case in the early years of mankind and add to this change in our diet compared to our ancient ancestors therefore nutrition plays a very important role in our lives today. To protect our cells from the kind of damage described above it becomes necessary to ensure adequate intake of antioxidants in the form of vitamins C E and A. It may not be possible to get adequate antioxidants from food alone therefore adding dietary supplements become crucial to our health especially if you are 35 years or older!

Three Way Income Plan

By Jairaj Menon

You need income from three different sources. 1. Income from your regular job or trade of profession, 2. Income from investments, and 3. Income from a network.

Income from your regular job or trade of profession
A person’s primary income comes from a job or trade or profession. One earns ones first money from one of these activities. The price tag attached to this kind of income is that you have to find ways to constantly increase your income by moving up the ladder and in the bargain put in more effort, time and energy. People engaged in economic activities of this nature are more prone to life style diseases like hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes and so on. The risk of falling prey to life style diseases is another price that one has to pay for ensuring a regular income from a job or trade or profession.

Income from investments
Whatever a persons income, he must save and once that saving reaches a substantial amount, he must invest a part of that saving in some investment plan. Safe investments after a period of time bring in a good income which can be considered as a secondary source of income. The earlier one begins to save quicker will be the income from this source. People begin to earn through jobs mainly when they are in their early twenties and initially when they are still living with their parents with the parent still running the house, they can save a large portion of their income and come up with a substantial sum which they can systematically invest. But this needs prudence and discipline, in fact prudence and discipline is needed at any age when it comes to saving to invest. The enemy of saving is conspicuous consumption, the urge to show off and be up with the joneses by spending on non-essentials of life, like the latest mobile instrument or automobile or eating out and so on results in leakage and thereby less money to save to invest. But it is important to be frugal in the beginning to generate good returns on your investments.

Income from a network.
Income from a network, one can say. is the new kid on the block in terms of a new source of income. You get a job or you are in a trade or in a profession on the basis of some kind of training and experience, similarly you invest by studying the investment market and by taking the help of a consultant, especially in the beginning, when you are new to the game. Income from network is also the result of developing the latent skill to share and do good to others. A network is not just a group of people trying to sell goods and services; it is primarily an organization which gives you life changing education. This is one source of income which needs only a decision unlike a job or trade or profession which requires investment in expensive university education or capital investment. It is also unlike investments which requires a capital sum built over several years of saving and then a lock in period for several years before the returns become substantial. To generate network income all you need is a decision once you take the decision thereafter all you have to do is invest some of your time even as little as 3 to 4 hours a week, and make some effort mainly to expose yourself to the information that will give you the necessary motivation to build your network brick by brick. Once the network is established to some degree then you begin to generate an income which can go on to become a very substantial income.

This third source of income becomes necessary because of increasing cost of life and uncertainty of life. Thus one has to think of a three way income plan once you begin your working life.
