Chapter Four
After I dropped my prejudices and began researching network
marketing, I found many people who were sincerely and diligently
building successful network-marketing businesses. When I met these
people, I saw the impact their business had on other people’s lives
and financial futures. I began to truly appreciate the value of the
network-marketing system. For a reasonable entry fee (often around
$200), people can buy into an existing system and immediately start
building their business. Due to the technological advances in the
computer industry, these organizations are totally automated,
and the headaches of paperwork, order processing, distribution,

passive income I receive each year from it. I then notice that some
of them withdraw or shy away. We both know that their chances of
doing multimillion-dollar real estate investments like I do are slim
to none. So I began to look for a way I could help them achieve the
same level of passive income I developed from real estate without
going back to school for six years and spending 12 years investing in
real estate. I believe network marketing gives people the opportunity
to build up the passive income they need for support while they learn
to become professional investors. That is why I recommend network
marketing to them. Even if they have little money, they can still
invest ‘sweat equity’ for five years and begin to generate more than
enough passive income to begin investing. By developing their own
