Great information shared Scoot, and so important for people to note that may be thinking about going into business for themselves as an independent distributor. It is important to be aligned with the value of the product, the validity of the company, but first and foremost is the people, the relationships, the credibility of YOU. At the end of the day you are marketing a company’s products that you have no control over. If you maintain your credibility, your customers will follow you wherever you go, trusting in YOUR service.

I think it’s key to not put all of your eggs in one basket. I really believe in the idea of multiple streams of income. Many of the most successful companies are widely diversified. Individuals should be as well.

As a consumer bankruptcy lawyer, I know that keeping all of the eggs in one basket can lead to terrible financial setbacks. That’s exactly what most people with a job do. Then when the job is gone, there’s nothing left.

Marketers have to be aware that any stream of income can dry up and always make sure they have several others filling the pond.

@Chris McCargar, Chris, you are right on the money. If we do not build "You Inc" we stand to lose our business just like we can lose our job in the corporate world.

Hey Scott! This is a fabulous post. It is hard to imagine that the company that we sign up with, especially when we first get started and our so excited about the products and the promise of reaching our dreams, may not always be around. You are right though, there is always a chance that something may cause that company to go out of business.

That is why it is so important to learn the Attraction Marketing skills that you are teaching. Once you master these skills, you can apply those skills to any new business and be successful very quickly.

Thanks for the great reminder on how important it is to build our own personal brands and not to just rely on our company!

Hey Scott, this advice is apropos.

How many times have we seen HUGE companies file for Chapter 11 in the past couple of years? NONE of them are invincible! From AIG to GMC… the mere suggestion of their collapse would have been laughed at just a couple of years ago!

When it comes right down to it, the only “security” we have, is us as individuals… “YOU, Inc.” As you pointed out, we must develop that resource to its fullest potential, or risk being at the losing end of another corporate failure.

All the Best…

@Donny Gamble, Also the reason why we must market ourselves and not be tied to one company.
