All My Friends Told Me This Will Never Work!

When I first started network marketing, my friends all told me the same thing. It will never work. I was with a different company then and they were right - it didn't work that well. Not because network marketing doesn't work or because that company wasn't a good one. It just wasn't the right one for me. I realize that now. But back then - when I failed - I thought they were right. This stuff doesn't work.

A few years later, desperate for extra money, I let myself get talked into trying network marketing again. A different company this time, with great products. And all my friends laughed and asked hadn't I learned my lesson the first time? But as a newly single mom, I really needed some extra income and so I tried again. This time I had more success. While I wasn't making millions, I was making enough to help make ends meet without having to get a part time job. My friends saw my success and yet still insisted it wouldn't last. And besides, if it worked so well, how come I was only making a few hundred dollars a month? Despite their disbelief and lack of support, I remained with that particular company for many years, eventually building it so I was making a few thousand extra dollars each month. Not enough to support me, but it did pay for things like private school for my children, band and choir camps, and cars for them when they turned 16.

Fast forward to 3 years ago. That's when I was introduced to FHTM. It sounded like a great company with a good comp plan. Even my husband was impressed. We joined the first time we saw the business plan. And of course, all of our friends lined up to tell us the same thing we had heard before - these things never work. It didn't matter that they had watched me over the past years continue to make more and more money with network marketing. They still took great delight in telling us about all the people they knew who had tried "one of these" before and it didn't work. Well, once again, I am delighted to tell them they're wrong! It does work - quite well.

I look back at all of this and I have to wonder - why? I see how they live. I know many of them aren't happy in their jobs, or are struggling to keep up with bills. I know they want the extras for their family that my family has. I can't begin to imagine what's holding them back. And those who ARE making decent money are often sacrificing time - time with family, time to worship, time to relax and recharge. Life is passing them by while they 50-60 hours a week in the office or factory. They slave away day after day making their employer wealthy while they receive a few dollars an hour in compensation.

But I guess the real question I need to ask is this: Why am I taking financial advice from my broke friends?

Paul Orberson and Excel

Paul Orberson is known as the most successful earner in the network marketing industry. He had made the most amount of money in the least amount of time of anyone in the history of this industry. Before retiring before the age of 40, Paul was making well over a million dollars per month with Excel long distance. He started with Excel in 1989 trying to supplement his income as a history teacher. It took him 3 years to average $2500. per month. The next year what he built started to pay. By 1996 he was making over a million dollars per month. He did this for 44 months.

Paul Orberson was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. Early in his career, Paul was a high school teacher, as well as a coach for various sports. Although he had a passion for teaching young students and helping his teams to victory, raising his family on a teacher's salary had always been a challenge.

Paul finally decided that for him to provide his family with a better life financially, he needed to make some changes in his life.

In 1990, Paul Orberson jumped into a company called Excel Communications. At the time, the company was just a small start-up company that didn't know what was about to hit them.
With an unwavering determination to succeed in this new venture, Paul set goals and monetary expectations for himself and the company. The result: he helped to make Excel a multi-billion dollar company in just a few years.

Eventually, Excel became publicly traded on the NYSE. Paul soon realized that by doing this, though, the company was doomed.

He had always believed that the best was for this type of industry to grow, the majority of money made needed to flow to the representatives. This was not likely to happen once the company went public. Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing pays 98% of it's revenue back to the reps.
Soon after, Paul left the company. Ultimately, Excel went bankrupt, just as Paul predicted.

By the time Paul Orberson left Excel, he had earned more money in a shorter period of time than anyone had ever done in the history of network marketing. By doing so, it allowed him to retire before the age of 40.

After a short retirement, Paul realized that his new goal at this point in his life was to help others achieve the kind of success that he had. He wanted to start a company that would enable regular folks like himself, to be able to reach their financial goals as well.

Paul began doing research to create a business to do just that. Through his research, he looked at a variety of marketing programs and compensation plans. He analyzed the good and bad in each plan so that he could extract the key elements that he would enable him to create a company that would be very successful for the reps that joined.

Soon after, FHTM was born. He began to build a business that millions of average people could become a part of in order to change their financial futures. Paul immediately partnered with name brand companies such as Dish Network, Alltel, Verizon, and AT&T, and Travelocity to name a few. There are now numerous products and services available in areas such as communications, entertainment, technology, and nutrition.

Paul Orberson has taken everything that he had learned while being the top earner at Excel, and created this company. He has taken away the large risks that crippled Excel, as well. FHTM can never be sold, traded on the stock exchange, or suffer from debt. These are some of the reasons that Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing has become a company that has been breaking industry records every since it started in 2001.

Paul takes enormous pride in helping other people like himself to achieve their own financial goals and improve their lives in ways they had never imagined. Thanks to Paul Orberson's great mind and vision, as well as the help of his incredibly dedicated team, there has never been a greater opportunity for earning potential offered.

I've tried "these" before...

For the first time in a very long time, I actually walked away from a prospective team member - willingly - happily even. Why? Let me tell you the story!

I met up a friend I hadn't seen in a quite a while. Several years, in fact. She was still working for the same store I met her in. I used to work there part time to make ends meet. She asked what I was doing and I told her. She expressed some interest so I gave her the DVD of the business presentation, not really expecting she would watch it or get back to me. Surprise! She did and called me the next day. She wanted more information. Usually all it takes for someone to make up their mind is to see the DVD, but I'm willing to give someone all the information they need. So next I got on a conference call with her and the number 2 guy in the entire company. She was very excited after that. When can we get together? She wanted to know. I told her I would stop by today, even though it is Sunday and I normally don't work much on Sunday.

I arrive at her house, paperwork in hand, thinking this is it. She is so gung-ho and excited, she is going to take this and run with it and truly change her life. I knock on the door and she invites me in. We sit down, I take out the paperwork, ask her what name she would like her checks in, and hear, "I'm not sure about this. I've tried these before and none of them worked." Well, I stopped dead. Which of "these" has she tried? The list is long - Mary Kay, Avon, Quixtar, Melaleuca, Excell...she's tried just about every business opportunity in existence and NONE of them have worked for her.

Now I know that every opportunity is different. And I truly think Fortune is the best. But still - to have tried that many and not had any success at any of them? That's almost impossible. So I asked her why she didn't have any luck with her previous endeavors. The list of excuses was almost as long as the list of things she had tried and failed. No time, no money, didn't know anyone to show the products or business plan to, no support from her sponsor, no training...on and on she went. She blamed everyone and everything and took absolutely no responsibility for her failure.

I know most of these companies. They are all fine companies with good products and great people working them. I could understand if she had tried one or two with no luck. But according to her, she's been involved in 7 different businesses, none of them more than a year, and all of them a dismal failure.

I listened to her a little while longer telling me how most of "these" companies were just successful for only a select few. And then I said something I almost never say. "Perhaps you're right. Maybe you aren't ready for this yet. Why don't you think about it some more and call me when you are ready?"

I expect she never will be. Meanwhile, I'm just moving on. Next!

Paul Orberson's Cancer

Your health is close to the heart of Paul Orberson. His successful battle with cancer made helping others realize the healing power of antioxidants and natural herbs a primary goal. This is what led to the creation of the True Essentials line of products. True Essentials offers an array of products for men, women, and children, including:
- CoQ10 Cellular Health
- Joint Essentials
- Hair, Skin, and Nails
- Power Antiox
- Men's ProCare
- Appetite Control
- Energizer Tea
- LE Combo Packs
- Fat & Carb Control
- Fiber Powder
- Hoodia
- Protein Shakes
- Women's Essential Pack
- Essentials for Women Multi-Vitamin
- Essentials for Kids Multi-Vitamin
- Men's Essential Pack
- Essentials for Men Multi-Vitamin
- Essentials for Teens Multi-Vitamin
- Fruit & Vegetable Essentials

However, the key ingredient in Paul's quest to eradicate cancer is Mineral pH. Based on the latest research which shows that an alkaline body is resistant to cancer, Mineral pH is a nutrient dense whole body enhancer, rich in minerals and amino acids to detoxify the body and help balance overall pH. Newly advanced and even more powerful, Mineral pH now includes barley grass juice powder and acai berry—both among the most powerful antioxidants ever tested.

Proprietary Humate Mineral Blend, consisting of 71+ plant-derived minerals, is naturally ionic and more easily absorbed across the intestinal walls. Rich in fulvic acid, Humate deposits have been linked to antioxidant activity, electrochemical balance, increased nutrient absorption, increase cellular transportation of nutrients, favorable enzyme reaction, enhanced cell division, increased metabolism, and increased vitamin bioavailability. Together, these powerful minerals and antioxidants work together to balance the body and help cells stay strong.

Potential users are adults who are:
• interested in balancing intestinal pH
• interested in decreasing negative stress levels, thus potentially impacting cortisol levels
• interested in adding ionic (plant derived) minerals to their diet
• interested in enhanced antioxidant activity

Common Questions
Q: What is the benefit of ionic materials?
A: Ionic minerals come from plant material. Plants absorb minerals through their tiny root hairs. Through a complex biochemical process known as photosynthesis, elemental (inorganic) metals are transformed into organic matter to be used by the plant. Ionic minerals are easier to absorb than inorganic minerals.

Q: From the mineral list on the label, it states that there are several heavy metals. I have been told that most heavy metals are toxic to the body.
A: The problem with this advice is that it often confuses those who don’t know the difference between plant-derived, organic minerals and minerals from rocks. The implication is made that these minerals are dangerous in any form—organic or inorganic. This simply is not true. There is a world of difference. Unfortunately, many nutritional ‘experts’ group plant-derived minerals with metallic minerals regardless of the fact that elemental minerals can come from sources such as soil, clay, oyster shell, limestone, and sea salts—among others. Due to this illogical grouping, they assert that the heavy metals that are contained in elemental minerals are the same as those found in plant-derived minerals. This just isn’t the case. Once fulvic acid acts upon a metallic (elemental) mineral and transforms it, the mineral can then be stored in plant-tissues as an organic substance. So, even though the mineral, which is now organic, retains its former title (e.g., lead, arsenic, etc.) it is chemically altered so that it is no longer toxic to our body.
This unclear classification has led many people to believe that the so-called toxic minerals are bad regardless of their source. The aluminum which is found in foods is a good example. This type of aluminum is not only tied to oxygen or silica (hydroxide or aluminum silica), but it has been preassimilated by a plant and is naturally ionic. Both of these types of aluminum are organic and beneficial and are used as food additives throughout the world. They are not toxic. The point is: If you eat vegetables or fruits, you are going to eat aluminum, arsenic, lead, and a host of other supposedly heavy metals and toxic minerals. The following is a list of plants or foods that contain aluminum in quantities of at least 45 - 160 PPM according to ATL Agronomy Handbook, Plant Analysis Guide Nutrient Sufficiency Ranges: bananas, peas, coffee, peppers, pineapple, potatoes, oil palm, root crops, asparagus, tomatoes, beans, corn (at tasseling), brussels sprouts, mint, celery, peanuts, cucumbers, small grains, head crops, soybeans, leaf crops, wheat (high yield), and melons. A chemical evaluation that further supports this data was performed on a random sampling of produce. This evaluation conclusively showed that the following fruits and vegetables contained many ‘objectionable’ elements in an organic form:
Almonds: Aluminum, barium, nickel, rubidium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.
Apples: Aluminum, arsenic, barium, lead, nickel, silicon, and titanium.
Broccoli: Aluminum, nickel, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.
Carrots: Aluminum, barium, lithium, nickel, rubidium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.
Grapes: Aluminum, barium, lithium, nickel, rubidium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.
Tomatoes: Aluminum, barium, bromine, lithium, nickel, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.
It is clear that the minerals found in plants are not the same as those found in the ground. They are non-toxic and non-metallic.
