10 Top Tips for Building a Network

Nikken business training with Ben Woodward and Dave Butler, Brighton, July 2018

Building a team in network marketing comes down to a simple equation: The reason for someone to be involved has to be greater than the inconvenience. It's easy to join, sure, but... it's also easy to get out. If the hassle begins to outweigh the benefit a team member will want to leave. Your job as a leader is to maintain the positive side of the equation, reducing reasons people have for leaving.

1. Define What You Want

People need internal motivation. External motivation is temporary. Do this by setting goals. They don't have to be crystal clear but there needs to be something. If you really think your goal is just money think again. Is the true goal what you can do with the money - a holiday, or the ability to go part time thus increasing your time freedom?

Is your goal really just money, or is it really what you can do with the money?

Goals need to be both results driven and activity driven. For example you should have a goal to sell a water filter for example by the end of the week, but also have a goal to make one phone call a day. By consistently focusing on daily and weekly goals your business will expand organically.

A useful technique in the pursuit of goals is to set 30 or 90 day challenges. This forces you into action even when you aren't feeling it. When working for yourself it is sometimes useful to have this routine you would have in a regular 9 to 5 job.

Take this blog for example. If you start a blog AND commit to writing a post once a week, after a year you'll have one of the best sources of information in your niche on the internet (and google will like you!).

Or how about a 10 year challenge!:

A common reason for people giving up any pursuit is the lack of clearly defined goals.

2. Make a Commitment

Develop a game plan and action plan. Like a Sat Nav in your car you have to know where you are coming from in order to get to your destination. If you don't know your start point you will find it hard to get to your desired end point.

Start right away. Don't get hung up on the detail. Don't wait for perfect conditions otherwise you'll never do it. You can always learn along the way (see tip 3).

3. Make a List of Names

You do need to meet people. Some people won't be interested but they may be "gateways" to other people. Network marketing is a numbers game. The more people you meet the more results you will get.

Learn from your mistakes as you go. Make mistakes by all means, but make new mistakes each time. "Black box thinking" - aeroplanes still tragically crash sometimes but it's a new reason each time...

4. Use the Products - Sell the Products

The first product sold doesn't count. It's the second, and the third that counts and on and on. Looking after your customers and following up enquiries is key in today's internet world. The competition is so intense you have to be the best... the best at everything. 

You could have the best product in the world but that's no longer enough. You have to seek out customers and retain them. If you aren't the best then someone will undercut your prices and improve upon your customer service. If you aren't the best customers can so easily go elsewhere. 

5. Learn to Approach People and Invite People

It does take effort and investment. You have to build relationships over time. But you will end up sponsoring more people. Don't dive in. People will make their own decision.

Take an interest in people and be a good listener. Be attractive.

But bear in mind where your audience is. Fish where the fish are. Contrary to popular belief not everybody can do this so be selective. People should need you more than you need them.

6. Have a Successful Meeting

Be professional. Dress well and maintain an image, but have an inner image too.

Be prepared with an efficient short portable business presentation that explains the business and leaves people wanting more thereby encouraging prospects to step up to the next stage. 

7. Follow Ups

Evidence shows that at any one time 1 in 20 people are looking for an opportunity, and this is a proportion that is likely to increase. But you have to work at it. Human nature is to say "No". You have to work with people and develop them. Ask positive questions such as "What did you like about it?" Many people will require multiple follow ups. A "No" may mean "Not now".  It can take 6 or 7 "Nos" before a "Yes"...

You've got to make "No" your vitamin

Les Brown

8. Check Progress

Check how things are doing. What is working, what isn't? Seek advice from your mentors and colleagues, and other experts.

9. Strive To Improve

Personal development is essential. The human mind is like a garden. It takes work otherwise the weeds will grow. Keep studying and learning.

Learn to take things on that are outside of your comfort zone. Keep practising.

10. Duplicate

Teach these 10 steps to your team and repeat.

The above notes were taken from a presentation made by direct marketing expert Dave Butler. Dave can be contacted via his website here.

The Reason I Joined a Network Marketing Company by Marian Timms

The reason I joined a network marketing company was to firstly facilitate mass healing through the products and secondly to generate a retirement fund as my NHS pension and state pension (if I ever get it) was not going to facilitate the lifestyle I want to have in my latter years. It is challenging, hard work and fun, and with supportive in-house mentoring and training.

I have met like minded individuals who care about the state of the nation's health and have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to know that the Nikken ethos is the way forward to counter all the damage that electromagnetic frequencies are doing to our health and our childrens' health; epidemic sleep deprivation, inflammation, fatigue, autoimmune dysfunction, and allergies.

YES! It is all linked to gut health and stress, environmental pollutants, food additives, antibiotics, micro plastics, pesticides, fluoride, chlorine, pharmaceuticals are all taking their toll on our health and our water quality in some parts of the UK leaves a lot to be desired.

We are all far too reliant on the good old NHS to sort us out instead of taking responsibility for our own health at a basic grass roots level.

"Another growing reality that could benefit MLM and related businesses is the increasing number of baby boomers who are disenchanted with their current careers. They’re worn-out from years of the corporate grind and don’t feel the connection between their job and the people it impacts outside their office walls or company grounds. They’re shifting their focus from accumulating a giant nest egg to a desire to be part of something bigger and better… to have a positive effect on others... and working in retirement. Facets of life that can be fulfilled with specific types of products and service available through some MLM or Direct selling opportunities." Robert Laura

The Nikken Business Opportunity in Perspective - Real Earnings Figures Revealed!

Nikken enjoys a reputation as a product driven company. Its successful 40 - year track record and international expansion has helped make it one of the fastest growing and most successful network marketing companies in the world. This dynamic growth comes for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the terrific income opportunity that Nikken provides.

However earnings figures in Network Marketing can sometimes feel rather nebulous and theoretical. Presentations often show the leveraging effects of building a team of 3 x 9 x 27 x 81 etc - fine in theory but rarely how it happens in the real world. So what are the real figures?

What Can I Earn In Nikken?

When someone is either considering a Nikken home based business or is a new Consultant, the questions invariably arise:

• How much does the average Nikken Consultant make in terms of monthly income — or annual income? 

• Does pursuing a Nikken home based business benefit me financially? 

• What are the best steps to take along the way? 

• How long does it take?

• What kind of return can I expect in relation to the effort I am putting in?

• Are the returns sustainable?

The chart below averages both general income and specific levels of achievement from the Senior Consultant rank up to Royal Diamond. Nikken Consultants of every level have shared the Nikken home based business opportunity with others and have used it as a pillar to build a solid, secure financial future. The chart gives average figures for all active Consultants and for all individuals at certain levels in Nikken in the US.

The stats show a wide range. As long as 240 months after signing up (20 years), some Nikken Consultants are still at Direct or Senior Consultant level, while others have climbed to the rank of Diamond or Royal Diamond. Many of course advance much quicker.

A Direct consultant earned on average $116 in the year, with the top earner at $1,109 (ie. about $100 a month). The top Silver consultant earned $17,354  with the average being $552 — Silver is the first "serious" rank where you will have a team and can begin to earn leadership bonuses. It is also very achievable and accounts for about a third of all Nikken consultants.

At the next levels of Gold and Platinum earnings roughly double respectively — the average levels begin to provide a significant bonus but not yet a living wage alone, although the top earners are achieving this with over $40,000 a year.

The real difference is seen at the Diamond ranks where six figure earnings are achievable. One person achieved the top rank of Royal Diamond within 10 months! Average earnings at this rank are over $100,000 pa with the top earner achieving a fraction under $750k.

Overall the figures tend to comply with industry findings that on average around 5% are "successful" in network marketing - of course this depends on your own goals and definitions of success. For a start financial wellbeing is only one measure of the success of a venture. Nikken prides itself on striving for balance in 5 areas of life - mind, body, society, family, and finances, and many consultants gain hugely from personal development.

The higher levels of income and achievement rely heavily on personal effort and individual application. The majority of superior performances rely upon the individual’s skill, training, effective business-building techniques and good old-fashioned hard work.

Many network marketers feel they spend a period not earning what they deserve, followed by a period earning more than they feel they deserve. This is a result of moving from time restricted earnings to the exponential mathematics of leveraging a team. 

And there is no question attitude plays a major role. Some people are passionate about their Nikken business and approach it with a sense of urgency. Others, though they may be committed, are not in such a hurry. That's fine. Stickability is also a huge asset. Many people start such a venture and then give up after a couple of months.

One of the joys of a home based business is you can fit it around your needs. At the recent "Team Kaizen" meeting in Mexico one of my big "takeaways" was not only the numerous different methods people used to be successful in Nikken, but also the various different types of people on the team.

There are many different ways to do Nikken.

It is also significant, however, to note that tens of thousands of households in North America use Nikken products as end users with no thought of building a Nikken business. This is not surprising. Nikken products have been sold by the millions worldwide, and the company remains a world leader in broad spectrum wellness technology.

Some Helpful Tips To Help You Use This Information Properly

1. Nikken is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. Your success is more likely to be`proportionate to the amount of work and effort you’re willing to put into your Nikken home based business — to sell your products to retail customers, to share the principles of the Nikken 5 Pillars of Health® and to help motivate, educate and inspire others.

2. All commissions and bonuses are based only on sales of products to retail customers. Front-end loading of inventory is prohibited. Retail orders should be shipped directly to customers. Potential commissions rise with the size of a consultant's team but building a team alone is not sufficient to build an income — ultimately the members of the team must be actively making regular retail sales.

3. Every Nikken home based business is built on an individual’s own efforts. No legitimate Nikken business can be built on promises made to help someone else "build their business". The most successful Consultant businesses are built by Nikken Consultants encouraging, training and supporting others. This includes the proper sharing of Nikken product knowledge, product technology, and the lifestyle benefits programs. It is through the diligent and enthusiastic application of the Nikken 5 Pillars of Health® that successful Nikken home based businesses are built. With integrity and by empowering others to be the best they can be, we can all grow and prosper together.

Important

The income figures are based on bonus earnings and are indicative only of incomes that can be made. The incomes stated included all overrides and leadership, retail, pack bonus and lifestyle bonuses actually earned during the time period of January 2016 to December 2016. To be conservative, for the purpose of these statistics, the highest active status achieved during this 12-month period determined the sponsoring levels and leadership development levels. If a Consultant achieved the Bronze status for one month during this 12-month period, his/her income statistics are included in the Bronze level status. The information here is not necessarily representative of what any individual Consultant will earn with these Annual Income Statistics. Any representation or guarantee of specific earnings would be misleading.

It is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join a scheme. Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved.

Please Note: The Nikken Compensation Plan changed significantly on 1st January 2017. The table above is for 2016. The new compensation plan as illustrated below has been designed to reward lower ranks earlier. We shall see when the 2017 figures are released.

An Invitation to Join Me in What I Do

My team is currently busy inviting people to my next wellness seminar, to be held in Brighton on 11th June (promo leaflet above). The event will introduce guests to a) the products my network marketing company Nikken distribute and b) the business opportunity available for those that join the network.

What May be the Initial Reaction of People Invited?

I guess in many cases it can be a combination of the following:

I don't really like my job, but I have to do it as I need the money. Is this just a fly by night scheme? Is it a pyramid scheme? I'm busy this weekend, but I'll try to come. Is it sales, as I don't want to do sales, am no good at it, and couldn't do it anyway? Why is it free? You don't get anything for free - what's the catch? Will it be like one of those timeshare meetings where the doors are barred, or even worse a cult or something where I'll be brainwashed? I'm perfectly healthy already. I've heard bad things about network marketing. Is it just a way to make a quick buck off your friends and family?You have sales targets? Is the company sound? Do you have to do cold calling? Do you need special skills or training? Is it a scam? Are the products scientifically proven? Is it just for the benefit of those at the top? Is it a hard sale? Will I be badgered ever more? Can I say no?

This may be the initial reaction of some people reading this article. But if you have got this far, please read on and see if this changes. Even better, please comment below.

The Gig Economy

Sure, some of these things crossed my mind over the years - both when I was first invited to a similar seminar, and subsequently when I was building my business.  But I think the network marketing industry has changed a lot. Particularly with the internet now, the ways of doing things, and the opportunities to build a business have changed. There are many well known advocates of the business model such as Tony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki. The workplace has changed. People these days are less willing to put up with long hours, grumpy bosses and poorly paid jobs. People want some control, some return, some satisfaction.

Many people now work in what is termed the "Gig Economy" and have a "portfolio" of jobs. The internet is awash with articles, posts, videos and memes about following your dreams. It is what I advocate for my children and I couldn't imagine them working 9 to 5 in an accounts or legal office, or in a job they don't like forever watching the clock in a futile attempt to pay the bills.

It is plain to see that there is no longer the causation association between long hours and hard work, and success and happiness, that there may have been a few decades ago. Plenty of people live financially abundant and happy lives without stressfully working towards an early grave never seeing their partners or families.

A New Way of Working

How do they do it? The ones that abundance appears to come easily to? Well some may have inherited wealth for sure. Some may have income earning assets. Some may have residual income or intellectual rights income or passive income. Whatever the reason, not many will have achieved this happy state of affairs through a wage. Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, goes as far to suggest that "wage slaves" are just "losers"! Indeed how many people do we know who just wait for pay day (as if that is some sort of nirvana) before they think they can do anything and then a few days later are just as poverty conscious as ever? How many people do you know who appear to live (or believe they live) from hand to mouth every month?  How many have a "thank god it's Friday" mentality and like the Boomtown Rats pop song from my youth "really don't like Mondays"? How many people repetitively pay lip service to this attitude and complain about their lot without ever doing anything about it - actually appearing to revel in it like it is some badge of honour?

Don't work harder, work smarter.

At Nikken we believe another way to escape this depressing cycle can be network marketing. The key here is the potential is limitless. There is no limit imposed on your earnings by time. If you have a network, you can earn while you are asleep. You can earn all over the world. You can earn while having a cappuccino in your favourite cafe or walking in the woods. Through duplication and the internet you can leverage your skills exponentially. There are millionaires in Nikken. Are there any millionaires in your office? On the flip side is there anything to lose if it doesn't work out? Not really.

The worse way to make money is trading your time. Leveraging time and compounding effort is the way to make money in this world.

Hear what Nikken leader Julie Tara has to say about her love for network marketing and how Nikken has provided the vehicle for the life she wants to live here.

My office this morning

Why Do I Think People Should Be Interested / Why Do I Do It?

The two questions are the same thing really. The reasons I do what I do are the same reasons I think others would be interested.

My motivation is to spread wellness and health as wide as possible, but also at the same time to secure a financially abundant future that will allow me the life I want to lead. 

A quick brainstorm on the positive benefits of my venture into network marketing yields the following thoughts:

I enjoy it. I have more confidence. I love meeting people. I have a new found interest in people, knowledge and self development. I have grown. I have learnt many new skills. I have access to world class training and webinars. I present in front of rooms full of people with passion and enthusiasm. I have a purpose and a calling. A why and a point. I'm happier!

Business training with former Nikken CEO Ben Woodward, Crawley, Feb 2017

My health is better - not only do I encourage others in their health, I benefit from using my company's products myself (which is the reason I started in the first place). This is entirely through my own choice and for my own and my family's benefit. The self consumption model of network marketing is no longer valid or legal and I run a genuine retail business with customers all over the world. It cost me practically nothing* to start (unlike setting up most businesses there is practically no financial risk - Nikken takes care of stock, orders and delivery) and I now earn a significant monthly income.

Do I work hard? Yes! But it's fun. My distinction between work and play has now almost disappeared. But that doesn't matter as I love what I do. So my "work" (I'd prefer to call it my purpose) continues over the weekends, and when I'm on holiday, and when I'm at dinner parties. It doesn't feel like work as I am just having conversations in a natural way.

Consultants who have been in Network Marketing for a while sometimes say they spend a time working for less than what they think they are worth, followed by a period where they are earning more than what they think they are worth.

People want to know what I do. People ask and I tell. They are often intrigued. People think I (and many of my colleagues) look 10 years younger than I am. It's almost like they want to know what my secret is. There's a good chance my health, vitality and wellbeing is to do with my secret! Is it a coincidence? Yes, maybe? Maybe I've been found out! The products I sell are not medical and are not for any medical conditions, some can not be explained scientifically and no Doctors would endorse them when they can sell you a drug instead. (Except the Doctors that do endorse them that is!).  Any benefit is purely a happy coincidence (please see the disclaimer at the bottom of this article and get in touch - only if you are willing to risk a natural solution with no side effects!).

How does it work anyway? Very well!

And it's not only me. I attract like minded people and they join my team and the momentum of the business grows. In turn they attract further like minded people and the network grows further naturally and organically. There is synergy. We feed off each other. We share ideas. We have frequent "business" meetings, skype calls, networking events, and training. These are often at any time in any place! I have access to inspirational leaders and entrepreneurs all over the world. When one of us has a bad day or a disappointment (we still have them sometimes of course) there are others there to lift us up. We believe in the Law of Attraction and the Power of Intention. Hence I'm constantly surrounded by inspiring, energetic, optimistic, amazing people. How many of us can say that about our jobs?

Natural Selling Workshop with Michael Oliver in Crawley, January 2017

Does everyone feel like this? No, not necessarily, but you tend to know pretty quickly if it's for you and if you are of a certain disposition the chance is there. Do I have to reach sales targets? In a way yes, but it happens naturally. Do you have to badger people constantly? Not at all. I haven't got time for that. I embrace the concept of natural selling where you let go of the outcome. I discover if there is a need and an interest. If there isn't I move on. Do you annoy your friends? No, most of my customers are strangers, but many became friends, and business colleagues afterwards!

Let go of the outcome, increase your income.

Is the company sound? Yes, our company has been going for more than 40 years. Does it sell these products to make a profit from people? This is a strange implied criticism of network marketing like it's any different from any other company that makes a profit from its customers (which is all of them unless in the charity or not for profit sector). Of course it does, and it's a strange world we live in where profiting in the alternative health field can be seen as somehow less ethical than your average High Street shop, mobile phone company, Amazon, Apple, Starbucks, or big pharma drugs company. Many huge multi national companies in the West survive on selling things we either already have, or we don't need in the first place. At Nikken we believe we are different - we supply products that everyone needs, but nobody has.

Presenting in Brighton, June 2016

So what about the market? The market is potentially huge. As the concept of selfcare gains traction at the expense of nationally supplied health services, proactively helping yourself is becoming both necessary and popular.

Be healthy by choice, not by chance.

And what about our local market? Although I live in what is regarded as quite an "alternative" city, Brighton, the local market both in Brighton and the wider UK is relatively undiscovered. My team with its developed infrastructure, experience, contacts and support is well placed at the forefront of Nikken's expansion into the UK - I believe we have a significant head start over other networks both within the Nikken family and the wider Network Marketing Health industry.

Commission

The company itself has a long history and unique patented products that cover a range of health products in sleep, water, nutrition, skincare, air, and light. These highly researched products are designed to replicate the earth's natural energies of magnetics, far infrared and negative ions, in the home.

Nikken products are designed to harness the Earth's natural elements

Consultants can offer any of these or can concentrate on a particular area. We believe that Nikken's 40 year history demonstrates a successful product range that engenders customer loyalty. To see the current product range please visit my website at http://nikkenearth.com

The motto of the company is Discover, Live, Share, and many people do one or more of these things in that order!

The commission plan is also unique and offers immediate rewards to new joiners at the beginning ranks. Absolutely any sales immediately qualify for a 20% commission. Not bad. On top of that there are opportunities for prizes and bonuses that can actually raise the commission to over 50%! The products are high end quality, well priced, necessary and popular. Repeat custom is common. Once people discover Nikken they rarely go back.

At Nikken we believe our Compensation Plan is one of the company's most attractive products. Network Marketing Consultants who have been in the industry for a number of years say it is the most generous they have ever seen.

Take the Pimag Waterfall Filter for example. This retails at £215. A consultant selling one of these will earn a minimum of £35.83 (20% net of VAT). What if you sold five? Or Ten? Or you had a team of colleagues all selling ten each? Subsequently users will come back to the consultant for replacement filters - repeat business. This is a by product of selling a great product that everybody loves once they have experienced it.

Have a read of this blog post 17 Good Reasons to Drink Nikken Water. Does this sound good to you? Does it make you think "I'd like to get one of those Waterfalls?" Do you think these 17 reasons are good reasons why others may like to drink Nikken water too? Could you share this knowledge in person and online? Do you think people you come across would be interested the same way you were? In other words could you encourage interest in the Nikken water the same way I do?

Discover It. Live It. Share It.

If you have answered yes to the above questions then you could join the team and "naturally sell" a quality product that in many ways sells itself, and earn £36 commission each time.

Is this Pyramid Selling?

No, pyramid schemes are illegal.

MLM (multi level marketing), Direct Selling, or Network Marketing companies can have a bad press and, sure, there are some less legitimate MLM companies but these will fall by the wayside quickly in this heavily regulated industry (there are some dodgy regular corporations too of course and many that survive on selling stuff that people don't need or have already!).

The key distinction is that a real MLM company will have genuine products that are sold to the general public. Their consultants will earn commission on their (and their teams') sales. Pyramid schemes don't have viable products and forever rely on new consultants joining, either paying an inflated joining fee and/or self consuming the company's products. There is no legitimate or sustainable business model hence pyramid schemes tend to implode quickly.

But it is pyramid shaped right? Well, sure, practically every company is pyramid shaped in respect that a few bosses are at the top earning more money than the many workers on the levels below. You could also argue that the "pyramid" structure in a traditional company is rather more rigid with less opportunities for movement upwards.

When examining a MLM opportunity ask yourself these questions:

• what is the product(s)?
• how are they priced?
• is there genuine demand and sales?
• are the products researched, developed and patented?
• can they be sampled or tried?
• what is the company's returns policy?
• what is the compensation plan?
• what do others say (reviews from both customers and consultants)?
• what are the consultants like?  Are they really happy successful financially free people with a lifestyle you fancy?
• do you like and trust the person introducing you?
• what is the the financial viability of the company?
• how long has the company has been around (at least 5 years)?
• where is it based and operating eg. international?
• does the company have an office and a customer service department?
• what is its website like?
• are seminars, training, courses and resources offered?
• what does it cost to join?
• is anything included in your joining fee eg. resources, online shop, website etc?
• are there any other costs such as purchase of stock?

Who Can Join?

Do you take anyone? No, sorry. I want to work with optimistic, engaging, bright and inspiring people who love meeting people and have an interest in natural health and wellness. My team is looking for positive, spiritual, inspiring people who are interested in self development and personal growth, and are excited about helping others make a difference in their own health and lifestyle. We want to hear from people with an interest in alternative health and wellness, who are active in social media and networking, and enjoy sharing their enthusiasm with others. We are looking for good listeners with empathy and enthusiasm for sharing fantastic life changing products with integrity and enthusiasm.

Do I have to live in Brighton or the UK? Not at all, we have consultants in other parts of the UK and have just signed our first consultant in North America.

Have a look here http://nikkenergy.com to meet some of my team.

Is it just for women by the way? - No, certainly not! The work does lend itself to work from home Mum's and alternative health practitioners but we really want to encourage men - anyone who works in physical education, personal trainers, hotels, sports teams and clubs, large companies, health and safety, other networkers, air crew, taxi drivers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, shop workers etc - anywhere really, it doesn't matter. And couples. Many of the top leaders in the company are men. Many of the most successful business leaders are couples.

Do I have to give up my current job? No. Many people start out giving a few hours around an existing job. Like anything the more you put in, the more you will get out, and we do encourage people to start quickly and keep the momentum going, and there are extra company incentives designed to encourage this, but many will build up their businesses gradually as a secondary income.

Whatever your circumstances I'd be delighted to hear from you, in person, or via the comments below.

Some of the UK Nikken team at a training in London last weekend with US Training Director Jeff Isom

The future, your future?

Sure many people are not the finished article, but through inspirational leadership and demonstration, I can help the right people grow. It's a big part of what I do. I notice people and if there is a connection and an interest I may introduce them to what I do and ask them to join. Sometimes they say yes, sometimes no, sometimes they think about it and I hear from them again years later! And this is exactly what you would do too. Through duplication. Everyone builds their own team, of people they want to work with - you are the CEO of your own business, you decide.

My team has experienced significant growth this year and it is an exciting time for us. This has been recognised with a financial lump sum bonus in both January and February this year, plus a free holiday to Mexico through Nikken's annual Team Kaizen incentive scheme! In addition I am in the running to win another holiday to Japan. How many office jobs offer such rewards? And it can only really get better. The momentum is building and is self perpetuating. Success breeds success.

With mentors Julie Tara and Ben Woodward, Mexico April 2017

It has been a journey, I have worked hard, and many seeds flowering now were planted four or five years ago, but it can be done, and I'm determined to demonstrate this and pass on everything I have learned to my team.

Our philosophy is healthy mind, body, family, society and finances, and we strive to balance all five!

Does this sound interesting? Is it something you think you may like to know more about? Come along to my event and discover my secret and whether it may be for you? Do you know anyone else who may be interested in improving their health and/or learning about the Nikken business opportunity?

You can register on line here.

If you can't make it this time give me a call anyway and we can talk or meet. It may not lead to anything, but in my experience networking like this always leads to something, often something unexpected, and... it could change your life! You may not want to change your life of course - or you may want to change it drastically, or you may want to change it just a little. Whatever your needs we can help you make it better.

With best wishes,

We are always looking for positive, optimistic, spiritual, and inspiring people who are interested in self development and personal growth, and are excited about helping others make a difference in their own health and lifestyle. We are looking for people with an interest in alternative health and wellness, who are willing to be trained, are active in social media and networking, and enjoy sharing their enthusiasm with others. We are looking for good listeners with empathy. It's all about health and wellness, and sharing fantastic life changing products with integrity and enthusiasm.

How Wide is This Market?

Some people ask is direct selling, or multi level marketing, or network marketing, or whatever you want to call it (except pyramid selling, that's different, and illegal, and for another post) a legitimate ethical business?

Well it depends what you are selling, like any other company, business, or shop. And like any other company, business or shop, the aim is to sell something, whether it be a product or a service. So when people say "you are just selling something" what does that actually mean? Not much actually as how is that any different from the high street shop, the 7/11, the petrol station, the supermarket, Apple, Amazon, or Microsoft? Not at all, they are all "just selling something". Business is about selling things and unfortunately western society is largely based upon (and obsessed upon) what is referred rather flatteringly as "growth" but in reality means "consumption".

If people want that product or service and it's not illegal or bad for your health or the environment then that's fine. Even better is if people actually need the product or service. But much growth and consumption relies on people continuously buying or replacing things they don't need - new cars, mobile phones, upgraded software etc - none that do anything different from the previous "obsolete" models of only a few years' of age.

Is Nikken just selling stuff? Well, it is selling stuff but not just selling stuff. This stuff is beneficial to people and can save them huge amounts of time, money and heartache through their lives as part of a selfcare regime. Is this more legitimate than Apple flogging everyone a new iphone6 a few month's after the 5 comes out, or software houses reselling things to clients who have already bought them many times over, or Big Pharma rushing out untested vaccines in response to the latest false flag health scare, or Big Oil continuing to over supply the earth's rare resources propped up by Western Governments who refuse to invest in renewables? I think it is.

Nikken sells through independent consultants who have experienced the products directly themselves, many of whom work in the medical field, and are generally positive, healthy, heart centred people who want to help. The Nikken motto is "discover, live, share" and it comes in that order for the vast majority of consultants who find Nikken. One of top Nikken consultant Julie Tara's favourite sayings is "we have something nobody has but everybody needs." What more of a valid basis for a successful business could one wish for than that?

Does "nobody" have the Nikken products as Julie says? Well, outside of Japan, not many. The following figures illustrate the growth and potential of this market for anyone interested in getting in right now -

• Sales for magnetic therapy products have reached $5 billion worldwide, including $1.9 billion in Europe according to Nikken, the World’s leader in the MLM of biomagnetics.
• An estimated 35 million customers in 22 countries use magnet therapy products, this equates to 1 in 7 Japanese, 1 in 200 American and 1 in 10,000 European households.
• The fastest growing market is Europe, with the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden providing the top 3 growing markets (Nikken UK Ltd)

(figures from this article https://kiki-health.com/magnet-therapy/ )

What jumps out here is the European household figure. 9,999 households out of every 10,000 don't have any magnetic therapy products in their homes! Are we on the verge of massive growth in the market? The Nikken leadership certainly think so and are confident the fundamental changes they've made to the structure and workings of the company will place them firmly at the forefront of a new selfcare revolution.
