A Wise Man Listens To His Wife

My Dutch wife Eelkje has always supported me in my network marketing endeavours. She complements my business skills with her people skills. She is not an active network marketer herself (although she lets me borrow her photo), because she has her own profession as a leadership coach and trainer to traditional companies and institutions. But she is always there as my trusted partner and mentor.

And now for the first time she is really enthusiastic about 2 recent developments. The first one is the birth of the MLMentors Network and our direct association with LifeWave. The second one is the new kid on the block Chews-4-Health.

I found myself struggling with the classical question of which business to go for, knowing that it is not wise to start building two new businesses at the same time. Experience has taught me over the years that I should focus on one start up at a time, at least until that business is taking care of itself.

And her observations were simple:

“As an active networker you focus your daily efforts on MLMentors and LifeWave. The next 6-12 months are going to keep you busy coaching & training & building in all the new markets around the world. And Chews-4-Health does not require your active presence. You participate for the next 12 months as an investor in the National CO-OP Marketing (NCM) program, which will build your customer and distributor base for you. Keep in mind that where other mlm coops only deliver leads at best, this NCM program is actually delivering paying customers and distributors. And 12 months down the road you can review your position and involvement with the two programs.”

She is convinced that it would be a shame to have to choose one program over the other, because both of them are world champions in the making. And she convinced me that I can and should participate in both. And guess what… she is correct! Thanks to the NCM program I can build an early position with Chews-4-Health without it distracting me from LifeWave. And 12 months down the road we could very well be doing for Chews-4-Health what we are now starting to do for LifeWave around the world.

And I thought that I was the business mind in our family :-)


Good luck!
