Why Energy Is the Currency of a Successful Live Event

OPINION | By Monico Perez, CEO of Monico Perez Productions
Let’s cut straight to it:
If your live event isn’t creating energy, then it isn’t creating results.
And if it’s not creating results, it’s not worth doing.
I’ve been doing large event production for over two decades, and I’ve also attended events all over the world — some electric and unforgettable… and others so flatlined, you could’ve sworn the room was under anesthesia.
It’s wild how much time, money, and effort can go into planning an event… only for the energy to fall completely flat. And when that happens, it shows — in the faces of the audience, in the lack of connection, and later on, in the results (growth, revenues) that just never show up.
Here’s the truth most won’t say out loud:
Energy is everything.
Not hype. Not gimmicks. Energy.
The kind that can be felt in your chest. In your heart. And your soul. That kind of energy that drives connection, clarity, and action. Energy that converts into life-changing results.
Because whether you’re in network marketing, personal development, or product-driven sales — and you’re responsible for putting on events — if people leave your event uninspired and unmotivated, they’re not going to go out and share more,

Should You Bother Attending a Company Generic Network Marketing Event?

OPINION | By Ray Higdon, Industry Trainer, Founder of Rank Makers
First of all, I want to share that those of you who know me know that I have actually run a generic network marketing event for 11 years — most recently branded Faith Over Fear. This article is NOT about attending one of my events — just want to make that clear from the get-go!
But the question is serious:

Should you bother attending a generic network marketing event?

Today I will share why I believe the answer is a resounding YES, and the event I highly suggest you attend.
Let’s Be Honest
The network marketing profession is awesome.
You can make as much money as you want with very little overhead, and it’s created residual income for so many people who might never have experienced that otherwise. But the profession has had a rough go over the last few years.
Let’s not list all the companies that have either shut their doors or transitioned out of the model — there are too many.
Let’s not write out all the things that aren’t perfect about the profession — and there are many.
Let’s instead continue to answer the question of attending a generic network marketing event.
Why Attend?
First of all

“For Such A Time As This…”

OPINION | By Donna Johnson, ANMP Ethics Committee Chair
There are moments in history when silence is no longer an option.
This is one of those moments.
As Al Bala so passionately shared in his recent article, the abrupt closure of Modere, Rodan+Fields, Beachbody and others continues to send shockwaves through our profession. But these events aren’t just about a few companies’ collapse. It’s a seismic alert — exposing deep cracks formed by the intrusion of short-term, profit-driven entities who have no regard for the legacy, values, or people of Network Marketing.
The erosion of our compensation model, the abandonment of mentorship and residual income, and the “shiny object syndrome” that lures companies into transactional affiliate models — all of these are symptoms of a deeper issue: disunity and distraction.
We are circling the wagons and, worse, sometimes shooting inward.
As Chair of the Ethics Committee for the ANMP, and someone who has devoted decades to this profession, I say with urgency and love: We must do better. We must stop operating in silos, protect the sacred trust we’ve built, and unify our voice before it’s fractured beyond recognition.
A Lesson from Outside Our Profession
Last year, I had the opportunity to speak at the ANMP Annual
