The Network Marketing Maze

An Industry Insider Gives His Advice


CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/29/05 -- "The Network
Marketing industry is difficult to navigate. It is very easy to find
yourself in a business that leaves you disappointed. Knowing what to
look for is critical," says Bo Short. Short is the president of the
American Leadership Foundation and formerly CEO of a network marketing
company.


Among his many activities, he has authored two highly acclaimed books
on leadership and has spoken in 20 countries on the topics of
leadership, team building and success. He has also been involved in
the Network Marketing industry for 15 years and has built a network of
distributors that has spanned the globe.


"People oftentimes blame themselves for failing in a network marketing
business even though they do not understand the possible negative
aspects of the company they may be involved with. Just because you had
a bad experience does not mean that there is something wrong with you
nor is every company in the industry flawed. Don't give up. Educate
yourself and reengage," Short states.


After attaining the diamond level in Amway/Quixtar he resigned his
position and income. Short said, "I refused to represent a business I
no longer believed in." He subsequently appeared on "Dateline NBC" in
a national television expose discussing his insights and experiences
in that business.


Short offers the following tips to people looking for the ideal
situation: "If you want to build a solid business, look for a
purpose-driven organization that provides:



-- Cutting-edge, Science-Based Products

-- Competitive Pricing that Offers Real Value

-- Compensation -- Unilevel Plan with Depth Bonuses

-- Training that Benefits You Instead Of Enriching Others

-- Outstanding Leadership -- Solid Record Of Success.

-- A Profitable Company Strategically Positioned And Experiencing Double-

Digit Monthly Growth



Each of these is a starting point. If any one of them is flawed there
is a possibility that the company may not be a good fit. Also, make
sure you are involved with a company that leads with the products, not
the opportunity. Let the products speak for themselves."


Bo Short and his team are experiencing tremendous success with Oasis
LifeSciences. He concludes, "Finding Oasis LifeSciences was like
landing in the middle of 'The Perfect Storm.' It is incredible and
such a rarity in this industry."
