Here is information that was posted by Michael Force, that I discovered. I agree 100% with what he has to say and would encourage you to read and understand why you need a network marketing system. The reasons he states below in his article are exactly why I have chosen The EDGE MARKETING SYSTEM, as my system of choice!

If you choose, you could spend years guessing at the best way to run your network marketing campaigns and building your network. It’s called trial and error. It’s tedious. And expensive.

All that trial and error will prove costly, exhausting and frustrating.

But for many network marketers, this is exactly how things go. They bought a few books, read some blogs and just know they have what it takes to come out on top. They see no need to invest in a network marketing system to help them navigate these murky waters.

While this approach won’t automatically doom you to failure, it’s not necessary and it’s certainly not worth it.

Accept right now that you don’t know everything. This will come in handy later. You should also accept that you never will know everything. It’s a fact of life.

Network marketing is unlike any other business. If you haven’t done it before, you need a mentor, and a system. Top Internet business owners who leverage systems for their network marketing improve their financial performance. There’s just no way around this.

To become a top network marketer you will need both a mentor, and a network marketing system. The tough part is choosing the right system for your business, and finding the right mentor for you.

You’ll find no shortage of companies touting their crazy-mad-awesome network marketing systems guaranteed to increase your income by a billion dollars in a week.

Of course, I’m kidding. Sort of. They won’t really increase your sales. But there are probably a billion of them out there, trying to get at your money.

Okay, so maybe not billions, but there are definitely thousands of companies out there making outlandish claims and promising you the moon and the stars if you buy their Internet marketing system.

The problem with these too-good-to-be-true offers are that they’re too good to be true. Which of course means they’re false.

Let’s set aside the obvious scams here. They’re pretty easy to ferret out. But there’s more subtle distinctions between the remaining network marketing systems. Those making the most noise about their network marketing systems are usually professional network marketers. That’s what you want, right?

No.

That’s just part of network marketing. The best systems will teach you strategies for recruiting top talent and retaining them. They will also focus on training, personal development, and ongoing professional education. Now that’s a system that you can take to the bank.

Here’s a tip: The guys who can do this best were once distributors. It just stands to reason that if you’ve done it, you know it better. They’ve actually been successful in the business.

So, as you assess multiple network marketing systems and weigh the pros and cons of each, consider the following metrics for an effective system.

1. Attainability. Does the network marketing system seem to set you up for something that seems unattainable? If so, move on.
2. Expertise. As I stated. If the expert was not once a distributor, think twice.
3. Results. Can they prove their network marketing system was successful for others?
4. ROI. Network marketing systems are not cheap. Make sure you’ll see a return on your investment.
5. Finite. Does the network marketing company give you a clear time frame for success once their system is implemented?

All the resources you need to be successful are available in a legitimate network marketing system. As I mentioned earlier, there’s no magic wand here. No secret sauce. While you’re new, it can be tough to weed out those who say they can help you and those who actually CAN help you.

Trust your gut but get proof of their results. And, at the end of the day, look for people you think demonstrate integrity and honesty.

These guys are more likely to deliver on their promises than those who talk fast and claim you can do nothing and make a fortune. The game’s just not played that way.

Not anymore, at least.

If you’re still unsure, ask around. People talk when they’re happy but they scream from the rooftops when they think they’ve been scammed. When you find a network marketing system endorsed or discussed by the industry’s top earners, you’re on the right track.

Think of it this way. Cleaning up a mess is much more difficult than never making a mess in the first place.

Find a mentor, get a system, skip the mess.

Now what could be easier than that?

In Networking coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.

It’s time for all of us to set our goals for 2010. Many of us take time this time of the year to put together New Years Resolutions And Goals. This is information that a good friend of mind Herb HUNTER shared on what true goals really are.

With the New Year im sure everyone has given thought to their New Years Resolutions. What do you want to be, do and have in 2010? I believe that New Years Resolutions don’t work unless you set
True Goals are goals that have everything you need to be able to achieve them.  I wanted to share a quick outline on how to make a True Goal with the hope that your New Years Resolutions this year will result in making 2010 the best year of your life.

Here goes -
A True Goal needs three things:

Vision, Mission, and Strategy

Vision Provides a Picture answering What?
Mission Provides Purpose answering Why?
Strategy Provides a Plan answering How?

A true goal requires that you identify what you want, feel a deep sense of why you want it and then develop a plan as to how you will achieve it.

To develop your strategy  there are four simple questions to ask. They are:

Who has done it?
How did they do it?
What are the obstacles?
What are the solutions?

When you set a goal with vision, mission and strategy you dramatically increase your odds of achieving it.

Here is to making 2010 the best year Ever!
