These days, more and more people are looking for ways to supplement their income. Others find the demands of a 9-to-5 corporate job unrewarding and frustrating. Not to mention, realizing that you’re building someone else’s fortune instead of your own can be defeating.
Here’s an idea: consider a career in network marketing. Why? It’s simple – financial freedom and living a rich and rewarding life are attainable goals. You don’t have to choose between one or the other. To prove my point, I recently had the pleasure of interviewing one of the great minds of network marketing: Jeff Olson.
Jeff Olson is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer for Nerium International – an award-winning company providing age-defying skincare and wellness solutions based in Addison, Texas.
Over the past 30 years, Jeff has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals achieve better levels of financial freedom and personal excellence. Working with a series of sales, marketing, and distribution companies, Jeff successfully built three different sales and distribution forces into multimillion-dollar organizations from scratch, ultimately becoming CEO of one of them, Nerium International.
Here’s your shot to learn from one of the best:
Jeff, what inspired you to get involved in network marketing 25 years ago?

Ambassadors Of Network Marketing – Hall Of Fame 2018
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
There is a group of international servant leaders promoting the Network Marketing – Direct Selling Industry in a generic way.
They are active on social media, speakers at generic conventions or serve through international organisations such as the DSA or WFDSA.
Servant leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world.
Ambassadors of Network Marketing can be trainers/ authors, corporate leaders or distributors being instrumental to the Direct Selling Industry.
A network marketing servant-leader focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong.
While traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top,” servant leadership is different.
The Network marketing servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible.
A new Ambassador Of Network Marketing has to be nominated by at least 2 present Ambassadors from different companies.

by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
An mother of two has won a national business award at the 2017 Direct Selling Association (DSA) Awards.
Mother of two, Jackie Hind, won ’Best Part Time Direct Seller of the Year’. The award recognises a direct seller who has balanced their business with another commitment, for example a full-time job, childcare or education.
Jackie developed her business with Juice Plus whilst working full-time in retail and raising her two children.
Jackie said:
It feels amazing to win the award, I’m over the moon.
Direct selling is the way forward – I’ve found a company that I love through a product that’s had massive impact on my health.”
Instead of watching TV after putting her kids to bed Jackie developed her business. Her success has enabled her to hand in her notice at work to focus on direct selling full-time, whilst spending more time at the weekends and over Christmas and New Year with her family.
The national awards, held this year at the Leicester Marriott Hotel, are hosted by the DSA, the trade body for direct selling – a £2.1billion industry – in the UK.

How Melanie Milletics Turned “Mom’s Little Home Based Business” Into A Million Dollar Business
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Melanie Milletics is a Global Network Marketing Professional, and one of our Recommended Distributors here at Business for Home.
Melanie began working in the industry in 2001 as a stay at home mom with a very small circle of influence.
She would be the last person to tell you that you have to rely on friends and family to build a business. To be successful, she developed creative ways to find new prospects to speak with using both on and offline lead generation methods and has become a top 1% earner in the Network Marketing Industry.
What most people don’t know about Melanie…
Melanie’s background did NOT prepare her for business.
In fact, you could very well call Melanie a “hippie momma” when she first got a glimpse of what a Network Marketing business could do for her family.
Melanie was an ecological consultant, an organic farmer, herbalist, yogini, folk singer and a backpacking traveler before settling down to raise a family.
You will probably agree that this is NOT the typical background of a high achieving business person.
Where there is a WHY, there is a way.

Don’t Miss The Direct Selling Edge Conference
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
What Is Direct Selling Edge?
In the summer of 2011, MLM attorney Kevin Thompson of ThompsonBurton and MLM compensation plan consultant Jay Leisner of Sylvina Consulting discussed creating a conference for new and young direct selling companies.
Their plan was to build a team of direct selling professionals, each a top expert in his or her subject area. The faculty members would teach the attendees, giving them action steps they can take when they return home to build and grow their network marketing and party plan direct selling companies faster.
Kevin said to be successful, you need to have an edge and that is how the Direct Selling Edge Conference came to be named.
A Unique Learning Experience
At one of the early conferences, one attendee keenly observed, “This is not just a conference. It is a school for companies.” He was absolutely correct.
DS Edge students have given this conference very high marks. See for yourself by reviewing some or all of the 82 reviews.
Geared for both new and established companies, the Direct Selling Edge Conference provides a unique 2-day learning experience at a great value. Early bird tickets are only $100 when purchased before August 31, 2017.
The 18th Direct Selling Edge Conference will be held on October 2-3, 2017
