Blog Launch

Clearly my blog is all about "Expanding Your Warm Market". Why! Because that is what every networker needs to do on a regular basis. You might have noticed that I have quoted Tom "Big Al" Shreider as having said "the reason most people quit their home based business is because they run out of prospects." He was referring to 'warm markets'.

Its a dilemma we all face sooner or later. If we don't have find people who are looking for the products, service and/or opportunities that we are working then our business is dying. It really is rather organic in that way... Did you know that if a plant is not growing it is dying? It's true. Ask any biology student.

There is a huge following to the concept that the money is in the list, I am sure that you have heard that. All the movers and shakers are singing the same song. But most of them are the marketing masters who are devleloping and selling "products" (information or software products). They are marketing them to opportunity seekers. People who will buy anything that promises to help them make easy or EZ money on the net. To product marketers it is probably true ~ the moneyIS in the list. They need a list of peole who will buy their stuff again and again. It kind of reminds me of Vegas. The marketers are like the casinos who cater to the gamblers' dreams of easy money. You could say this is the classic WIN/WIN scenario but here the marketers WIN and the casinos WIN. That is not the kind of WIN/WIN that I want to participate in. You?

I am sure there are lots of marketers who have good products that will help those who need them as a matter of fact I know there are lots of them. But we are different. We are not people who develop products to sell to niche markets. Well I guess I shouldn't speak for you and perhaps I and maybe we will come up with a better mouse trap some day and do what it takes to get it in the hands of those willing to part with their hard earned money to buy it. That will be for a different blog.

In the mean time I am going to stick with a model that is changing the way products and services that we all use or could use get to market. A model that can provide a "residual" income for a long time to come. That model has beomce known as Network Marketing. It really is a beautiful business model...

And. It is not really about the products or services. It is not even about the systems that have been developed that make building the business duplicable or replicable. What I like about network marketing is that it is all about "personal development". If it doesn't come by us naturally we have to learn how to become good at helping others. We have to be leaders who can help others to become leaders. It forces us "to live for the sake or others" and THAT is the paradigm that will change the world and foster an era of peace and mutual prosperity for all mankind. I know that sounds pretty idealic and you know what? it is! and there is nothing wrong with ideals are there.

So what's it all about Alfi? Its all about growing our hearts and increasing the number of people we care about. It's really all about Expanding Our Warm Markets. Warm markets are traditionally our friends and family aren't they. So what I am proposing here is that we expand out network of friends on an ongoing basis.

My life drawing instructor, Al Chong, in commercial art college coined it perfectly when he said "We are only here to help." We are her to help each other find solutions to our problems. We are here to help each other find a path to where we want to go. I will offer you some solutions here and some paths that may be what you are looking for that can help you find the way to financial independance or freedom. My solutions may of not be for you and certainly the paths that I have found may not be paths that you are looking for but at least you know where not to look if that is the case.

So that is what my blog is all about and it will be interesting to see how it expands.

Thanks for being here.
