Hey everybody Eric Worre here. Welcome to NetworkMarketingPro.com. Today I want
to talk to you about maybe one of the most undervalued attributes of the
network marketing profession and that is the social network that is created and
the value of that social network. Here's what I mean by that. In 1990, they did a...
I saw a study recently that said in 1990 the average American had 3.8
friends. 3.8 significant friends. Confidants.
People they could share important things. Important life discussions with.
3.8 and fast forward to today. 27 years later. You'd think because of
social media and all the interconnectivity and the social network
that that number of friends will have grown. Matter of fact it's decreased by
almost 50% or approximately 50%. It's 1.8 today. 3.8
in 1990, 1.8 today. We're more connected than ever but
the significance of the social network that we are leveraging is not as
powerful as people would think. So enter network marketing. Network marketing
serves incredibly important emotional need and that's this need to be
connected in a meaningful way with like-minded individuals different.
Different organizations. The corporation used to provide that. Some religious institutions
used to provide that. Sometimes communities, little towns and cities used
to provide a sense of community and all of those different areas have said
tended to be fragmented. And you're left with people feeling more and more
alone, less and less connected. Less and less socially connected. Now if you ask
the average person inside of network marketing, how many of those people have
more than the 3.8 friends that the average American had in
99 let alone what they have now. You'll see the longer people are involved in
this profession, the more meaningful relationships that they have. The more
confidants, people that they can share important information with, actually
exist. And why is this so? The financial opportunity that we have that
actually ends up giving us a reason, an excuse, to spend more time with
like-minded people. Without the financial incentive, you wouldn't be
spending as much time with your upline or your downline or at the events or at
your conferences, building those relationships. You wouldn't be as
connected with those people because again we're all trying to learn from
each other so we tend to be more connected because we're seeking
knowledge in different directions or seeking feedback in different directions.
So the social network that's created here is incredibly valuable,
very meaningful and in itself is one of the biggest assets of being involved in
network marketing. The richness of life. Those of you who know what I'm talking
about. have been around for a while. The richness of your life because of the
quality of the social network that you have built because you're involved in
network marketing is a huge asset in your life and you know it. For those that
are just getting started or haven't built that yet,
I promise you the longer you stay around the more you're going to leverage the
real value of the ultimate social network which is network marketing. Hope
you got value from that. Hope it caused you to think and hope it causes you to
reach out to somebody else and build a more meaningful relationship. Network
marketing isn't perfect but it is better. If you have an entrepreneurial bone in your
body there's just nothing better and the
social network is just another piece of what makes it great. Have a great day
everybody. See you next time. Take care. Goodbye. Hey my name is Eric Worre and
