Dan Akroyd was a mail sorter for Canada's national postal service.

Halle Berry worked at Higbee's Department store in the children's department.
Chubby Checker plucked chickens at a poultry market named Henry Colt's.
Bill Cosby shined shoes and sold produce when he was young.
Michael Dell washed dishes at a Chinese restaurant for $2.30 per hour.
So what does this have to do with networking and your business?
Well everyday there are emails from home business owners who’ve just gotten started in a great opportunity like the We Provide The Cash business, also known as Home Seller Assist, created by John Alexander.
They're All At The Bottom, And They're All Asking The Same Thing…
“I’m a brand new distributor for my company, but I’m on a very limited advertising budget. I need to make money fast. What should I do first!?”
Well that’s a perfectly reasonable question, and the information I’m about to share with you allowed one person to go from waiting tables, to 7-figures in less than 18 months.
But the first thing I want you to know is that you’re really not disadvantaged if you’re building on a budget. I know that might be hard to swallow, but your limited budget only becomes a problem when you try to pursue your business in the same manner as someone who ISN’T on a budget. Which is exactly what most new business owners do. They throw every last dime they can find into leads, PPC campaigns, postcards, banners, and co-ops, and that’s fine if you’re already making money, but if you’re on a budget, watch out…
Spending your limited funds on an advertising campaign is the biggest mistake you can make. Why?Because if you spend your $500 on leads, PPC, fliers, business cards, or a postcard campaign, you’ll probably get a few prospects, but if you don’t sponsor any of them, you’re back to square one. There’s no way to leverage the results over and over again in the future.Once you’ve called through your leads, it’s game over! You need more leads!And now you’re forced to spend more money to keep this endless cycle going. It’s like trying to build a business “from pay-check to pay-check”, and only a lucky few will ever come out ahead before they’re financially forced to call it quits.
Commodity investors don't physically buy orange juice and store it at their home. Just like leads, the juice goes bad over time. Instead, they invest in commodities stocks because they can be leveraged over and over again in the future.
So what I’d like to do now is give you an alternative option for one simple reason… It’s the strategy that allowed one person to go from waiting tables to 7 figures within 18 months.
So Here’s What You Do…What you want to do is invest your funds into “high leverage” skills and simple activities, which you can use over and over again to quickly and easily produce more leads any time you want… for FREE.
And that’s become very easy to do thanks to some BIG changes which have taken place in the online world recently…If you were going to market online in the past, you had to be a certified search engine expert, or a wizard at pay-per-click with deep pockets full of cash in order to get enough traffic. It hasn’t been easy, and most new business owners who didn’t grow up with a Play Station in their hands feel intimidated by it.
Well thanks to new Web 2.0 sites we have today like MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, CraigsList, and Ebay, you don’t have to spend big bucks, to tap into this massive flood of FREE traffic… I mean why pay for leads and advertising when you can get them for free!? And the best part is that you don’t even need to be a computer expert to start using these simple tactics the very same day…
Obviously if someone’s on a budget, they can’t afford to spend a lot of money on a marketing course. Second, it has to be easy to follow and understand, even for people who aren’t very computer savvy. Personally, I learn best when I can watch someone actually do it for me first…
Remember... At one point or another, you're going to have a new member asking you, "what should I do now? I don't have a lot of money to spend on marketing?"
I use this stuff every single day and it’s easier than you think.
Learn more now and put your Home Seller Assist business on steroids!

Everyone wants to know what the “best way” to build their business is.
There’s a natural tendency to move towards methods that are most efficient…
Methods that bring the highest reward for the least amount of effort, and most distributors are on a constant journey to find this holy grail.
But we’re leaving out one part of the equation… You.
We all come to the table with different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, and THESE factors determine what methods will work best for you as an individual.
Now if you’re new to the industry, you’re going to need to figure out which methods work best for YOU.
If the old-school ways don’t appeal to you, that’s fine. They didn’t appeal to me either. It doesn’t mean that my way works better than someone else’s. Both methods will require years of study and practice to master.
You need to approach your business using methods that are congruent with your interests and strengths.
Over time, I was able to come to a conclusion about my business, and the way I wanted to build it…
Many people have called it visionary. A few have scoffed and mumbled nasty things under their breath.
My method was as follows:
1: The best target market for prospects consists of distributors and leaders who are already in the industry. Instead of cold calling them, a minimum of 20-30 were going to contact me daily. This was accomplished not by pitching an opportunity, but by solving their problems and addressing their needs.
2: I was not going to chase or convince people to join my business. I was going to attract them to me by demonstrating value and leadership through effective marketing.
3: I was not going to sit on the phone all day pitching my opportunity to individuals. Instead I would use effective copywriting to sell to large numbers of people via email, and the web at once.
4: In the course of building a downline, I would expand my business vertically, and own the tools and systems used by the rest of the company.
5: I wasn’t going to focus on simply building a networking opportunity, which may or may not be here in 5 years. My focus was on building “You Inc”, which is my list, and the reputation I have with my list.
My list would become a virtual distribution channel.
This would bring stability, and allow me to build another downline with the click of a mouse, should something ever happen to the primary opportunity.
95% of prospects will say “no” to your products or business. I would find a way to make these people customers in other ways by providing solutions to their biggest problems, which would triple my income.
The long-term goal was not to build just a downline. It was to build a business that served the industry at large.
Now I’m not saying that my method is “the best”, but I can tell you this…
Following this plan has allowed me to accomplish all of my goals, and then some…
I haven’t called a lead in two years, but I’ve built one of the largest downlines in the Home Seller Assist company.
By adding value to the industry, I attract many networkers per day.
I’ve been able to produce a nice income from our primary opportunity, and more income by serving the 95% who said “no” to it…
By passing on my knowledge and methods,, I’ve been able to help 100’s… If not 1,000’s, quit their jobs and become financially independent.
Yet in the end, the techniques are simply my method. It might appeal to you, or it might not.

Recruiting
"Can you just show me a simple step by step system to grow my business that doesn't cost me a lot?"
It's a good question, but I'm revealing this to you today not to answer it, but to dig beneath it and use it to help you recruit more people into your business.
So think about that question for a second. What does it say to you? What it shows me is that many people are willing to work if they have a game plan. They just want to know "How".
More than your company's products or services, more than how great your comp plan is . . . Most of your prospects simple want to know how you can help them quit their job, or supplement their social security income. They want it to be simple, and they want action steps. If I've learned anything about marketing it's listen to your market and then give them what they want. Be the provider of that and recruiting will never be a problem again.
