Cameron sat nervously at the back of the room packed with people from a myriad of backgrounds.  He was clucking tightly his notepad and the invitation details to this networking meeting. His friend, Gordon had explained that this would be an exciting life changing event and must attend. But now that Cameron had arrived he was not so sure. He looked at the front projection screen with the black inscription bold on the white background, ‘This Exciting Event Will Change your Life’  

Cameron wanted to leave but felt glued to the chair, ‘What if they ripped me off and take all my money?’ he thought. ‘I wish I hadn’t come, I’m no good at this sort of thing.’ He was there because he was at the end of his road. Every month he ran out of money, his cash flow was up the creek and one more unscheduled expense would see him go under for good. But his friend Gordon said that this business enterprise opportunity would give him financial freedom for good and a better way of life. But Cameron's natural defense mechanism was kicking in, could he really make money network marketing?

Cameron’s thoughts were rudely interrupted by applauses and the appearance of Mr. Clegg, tonight’s speaker, welcoming everyone to this life changing event. The presentation rolled on impressively. Clegg explained about the product, the plan, the future and how this company had turned his life around and what it could do for you. Cameron made notes and listed his fears, the start up costs, do I have adequate time? Got no marketing experience and I do not like selling and is this a pyramid scheme?

Clegg finished and asked for questions from the floor. Cameron bucked up enough courage to express his fears about network marketing to Clegg.

When it comes to confronting your fears about network marketing you need to be sure you get them all out in the open and balance them with the benefits of the opportunity. Any inaugural costs must be realistic in comparison to a normal business start up or franchise purchase and have some measure of bonus to trim down fees depending on your performance.  Times is forever and a day a consideration, but remember this, you have to make a changes in order to achieve a new direction in your life, so make the time if you are serious. Another fear is the ‘no experience’, remember you are about to start a new business so you will need the support of the company, so ensure they have the right processes in place. And remember this is not selling job but sharing your vision with others.

Finally, ensure the opportunity has a solid, firm creditable product. Pyramid schemes are illegal and do not deliver a product. If you want to explore an opportunity that meets you fears with offers real benefits go to Inbox Opportunity, written and presented by Steve Campbell.
