by Owen Gough • • 0 Comments
They’re known as ‘shower thoughts,’ those seemingly random thoughts or ideas that occur when taking our morning shower- or engaged in a similarly monotonous, routine task. Often amusing but inconsequential, (a quick Google search of the term throws up an array of weird and wonderful examples,) these unexpected insights can sometimes prove far more useful.

Talk Fusion Celebrates 10th Anniversary In Maui, Hawaii
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Global video marketing company Talk Fusion commemorated its 10-year anniversary at a decorative gala held in Hawaii on July 9th.
The major business milestone was celebrated by the company’s corporate team and top-performing Independent Associates (those who distribute Talk Fusion’s products for commission) at the Grand Wailea in Maui. Known as the “Dream Getaway” trip, this Hawaiian vacation is just one of the many incentives Talk Fusion provides its qualifying Associates.
“We’re celebrating a decade of dreams,” explained Talk Fusion Founder & CEO Bob Reina,
“because we’re not just about developing innovative products—we’re about giving our Associates the vehicle they need to turn dreams into realities.”
As a former network marketing distributor himself, Bob Reina knows how unstable some companies can be, “Time and time again, I’d get involved with a company, build a successful team, and then the business would fail, forcing me to once again start from square one.”
This, according to Reina, is a key motivator for him:
“I founded Talk Fusion in part so that our Associates would never have to experience that type of disappointment or unreliability—so that nothing would get in the way of their hard work.”
Combining Reina’s drive with perfect product timing, Talk Fusion has been a major industry

Interview With Dutch Top Earner Arjan Koopsman
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Arjan Koopsman is currently a member of the well known and very active network marketing Success 4 All team, which in turn belongs to the OneLife family.
The team was founded by its current leaders from the Netherlands, Igor E. Alberts and Andreea Cimbala.
Arjan, also from the Netherlands, has been working in the network marketing world since the 1980s. That makes this leader a veteran who has seen the evolution of the industry, the markets and companies for more than 30 years. During all this time, he has been combining his career as a networker with the management of his own traditional company, which he founded after his first four years in network marketing.
However, despite having seen the transformation of the markets very closely, he got a surprise he hadn’t seen coming: the almost immediate success of OneLife. Arjan wasn’t very enthusiastic about the rise of this fintech at the beginning, like many of those who are now his colleagues did.
“I was angry because of losing many people. I didn’t trust the company, because they were less than 2 years active, and I was jealous of their huge success.”
A new company was achieving something that took Arjan years to reach.
“Despite everything, the company,
