Congratulations to my good friend, mentor and business partner Bill Harloff for winning his BRAND NEW 750XI TITANIUM BMW! Bill has built a MASSIVE business the past 3 years. Since Bill told me that he doesn’t watch the news, I guess he didn’t know about the recession….

1. Decide what you want to accomplish over the next 5-10 years, where you want to visit, who you want to know, etc.

Local NC pastor, Sarah Campbell, describes her experience working with the FHTM home-based business model. The town where she is a pastor has had the local factory completely shut down, leaving many asking how to make money in this tough economy.

Sarah is looking for leaders to join her team, those who want to come up out of poverty and take charge of their own financial future.

Dr. Edwin Elam, PhD, visited our team meeting in Greensboro, NC. It was a packed house of 400+ people on a Monday night.  His basic message was “business has gone from the brick & mortar to the click & order!”

Dr. Elam is known as “the Bishop of Sales and Marketing”, he has coordinated past activities at the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce for small and minority businesses at the Memphis SMSA as the  Information Clearinghouse Coordinator and Solution provider.  He linked-up to resolve mutual issues, and fulfill directives as called for in an Initiative launched by then (R)-Tennessee Governor: Lamar Alexander.

Elam also coordinated Town-Hall Meetings for then U. S. Senator Jim Sasser (D-Tenn.) and then U. S. Senator David Pryor (D-Ark.); who helped 1,000′s of businesses through the Chamber’s Center; he also helped many of the Initiatives brought to the State of Tennessee by then U. S. Congressman Harold E. Ford, Sr.

Every niche of the Memphis Business, Educational and Non-Profit Communities and many Other sectors were addressed including Memphis In May, Inc., The Abe Scharff YMCA where Elam served as Board Chariman, under then Mayor – The Honorable Richard “Dick” Hackett.  Elam left Memphis in 1986 to test his skill-set around the world.

Part of the training at the Greensboro, NC meeting included this 10 minute overview of the current state and future of American Business.  Elam believes that many of America’s economic, family and income ills will be resolved when Network/Relationship Marketing is embraced as way out of the mess our economy is in, “….it’s simple control retail sales in your neighborhood and you win! Says, Elam.

I apologize for the poor video quality as we had to sit in overflow seating. While the lighting and the camera angles were not optimal, the passionate words of Dr. Elam were certainly dead on given the current state of our economy.

We’ve all heard it before… direct sales companies based on a multi-level compensation plan are fine for those who get in at the beginning… but over time only those at the top make any money while everyone else works for them.  In fact, if this were true the company would soon be out of business.

This is a common myth about the direct selling industry.  In order for a multi-level marketing plan to be legal it must be structured in such a way that someone just joining can surpass those above them in income.  This is what makes direct selling / network marketing a truly “equal opportunity”.  In fact, our business model guarantees an equal opportunity for everyone… but NOT equal results.  The compensation you will receive will depends on your hard work, perseverance, and how well you can build a strong team.

Case in point:  Woodson Gardner, from Charlotte, NC, once owned a very successful real estate business and was twice ranked #1 realtor in the Southeast by Forbes Magazine. During the past two years she has rocketed to the top of our FHTM home-based business. She has given up the real estate world and now does this home-based business full time with her husband Clay.

Despite the fact that our company has been in business for over 10 years, Woodson was able to achieve National Sales Manager and is the 11th highest paid business owner in our company worldwide — in only 28 months time.

In this video, she is recognized by our team for her accomplishments at our national convention in Orlando.  The man in the video is Todd Rowland, who has been in our business for about 8-9 years and is the #2 highest paid business owner in our company worldwide.

Business owner Rory-Ann Williams (Efland, NC) owns her own cleaning service (Above All Cleaning Service). With the downturn of the economy, she was looking for a way to develop another income stream.

Despite being in a neck brace for 4 months, Rory-Ann was able to achieve her first promotion with FHTM in a very short time.  She attended our national conference in Orlando and also our mini-convention in Lexington, NC a week later.

Rory-Ann brings excitement, energy and unparalleled dedication to our team and we are glad to have her aboard!  We look forward to seeing great things come from this dynamic person! Welcome Rory-Ann!

Hear her story in this short video…
