In Search of Wealth

A 1987 survey conducted by the American Council on Education revealed that 75% of the 200,000 incoming freshmen who were polled felt that being well-off financially is either an “essential” or a “very important” end to achieve. 71% of the students said the primary reason they were in college was so they could attain high-paying jobs upon graduation.

Unfortunately, only 29% of these aspiring young people believed it was necessary to develop a meaningful philosophy of life.

In Srully Blotnick's research reflected in Getting Rich Your Own Way (Playboy Paperbacks, 1982), 1,500 people were divided into two groups and followed for twenty years: Group A made up 83% of the sample. These people were embarking on a career chosen for the reason of making money now in order to do what they wanted later. Group B, the other 17%, chose their career based on what they wanted to do now and worry about the money later.

The data revealed some discoveries that may startle you:

• At the end of the twenty years, 101 of the 1,500 had become

millionaires.

• Of the millionaires, all but one – 100 out of 101 – were from

Group B, the group that had chosen to pursue what they loved!

According to this research, people who set out to make their million without serious consideration of their philosophy of life or what career would bring meaning and fulfillment are apt to be disappointed.

Harriet Ward Beecher had a point: “Very few people acquire wealth in such a manner as to receive pleasure from it. As long as there is the enthusiasm of the chase, they enjoy it. But when they begin to look around and think of settling down, they find that the part by which joy enters in is dead to them. They have spent their lives in heaping up colossal piles of treasure, which stand at the end, like pyramids in the desert, holding only the dust of things.”

As network marketer's we have a wealth of opportunity to offer others. One that beautifully weaves passion with financial independence. So let's remember, our only job is to share the wealth!

www.TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com 2 The best thing about network marketing for me is that it asks... even encourages... me to seek out people who are willing to explore and share their dreams and vision. It gives me reason to invite people to share— from their heart— early in our relationship. I love this because sharing dreams and clarifying vision puts us together in an energy that feels so

good— so alive. It opens us up to take inspired action, which consistently results in greater and greater levels of success. What a joy sharing this kind of ride with others! — Mary K.

"What I admire most about Mary K. is that she literally and figuratively incarnates one of my most treasured quotes: Dag Hammerskjöld's "To all that has been— Thanks. To all that will be— Yes!" She speaks about the joy of sharing this 'ride' with others. Mary K. IS the joy— to know and to work with." — JMF In addition to editing the articles for TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com, one of the projects Mary K is involved in is contributing to raising vibrations in partnership with TheMagicHappens.com, a magazine setting the tone for thriving in today's chaos and inviting people to embrace Financial Freedom with a Home Business!
