Article Body:If you've ever heard of Network Marketing, you'veprobably heard it said that it is essentially apeople's business. Some have also labeled it apeople's franchise because of the similaritiesbetween the business models of network marketingand franchising. Advocates of the industry nameit as the ultimate people's business and say thereis nothing quite like it. People that are innetwork marketing will immediately respondpositively to this.One of the unique characteristics of the networkmarketing type of business is that everyindividual distributor is in business forthemselves but never by themselves. They willalways be part of a larger organization and thecompensation models are designed in such a waythat every person can count on some form ofsupport from their upline.It is no secret that fortunes can be made in this

type of business and many have done just that. Ofcourse this is not the majority of networkmarketers, but every individual distributor doeshave the same chances. Success or failure innetwork marketing is not dictated by politics,race, age, background or gender, but always byresults. In that respect it is probably also thefairest business model in the world.For many people however the true value of theirhome based business is not directly in thefinancial return. The lessons a person can learnwhile building his or her own network marketingbusiness are truly priceless. Many people aretotally transformed through the personal growththey experience as a direct result of theirchallenges in their MLM businesses. It forcedthem to get out of their comfort zones, grow, andin many cases become a better person.So what is so unique about network marketing inthis respect? Doesn't every entrepreneur have to

deal with challenges? The answer of course is: Yes,they do. And they also experience personal growthas a result from this. However there is asignificant difference. Most entrepreneurs areself made and many of them learned their tradelargely outside of formal education. Either theywere taught by a family member, a mentor orperhaps they learned everything the hard way: bytrial and error. Very rarely will you find anentrepreneur that has an extensive library ofbooks and tapes on personal development. Mostbusinesspeople don't attend seminars andmotivational trainings. They think it's all abunch of hype. While in some cases this can be true,there are many trainings and seminars that teachthe principles of success better than anytextbook found in business schools.One of the great things about network marketingis that this type of education is built into thetraining systems of all good companies. There isno business on the face of the earth that places

such a strong and direct emphasis on theimportance of personal development as the networkmarketing industry. Many companies might arguethat they spend a great deal of their budget oneducation; training employees and as suchassisting them in personal development but inmost cases what they are actually talking aboutis personnel development. Although the words arealmost identical, their meanings are vastlydifferent.Network marketing is all about building people.It is probably the best school on the planet ifyou want to learn about what it takes to besuccessful in life and you don't need rich parentsor some kind of scholarship to enroll.
