Back To the Future—This Year’s ANMP Convention Is the New Tipping Point
by Team Business For Home HQ • • 0 Comments
OPINION | By Tom Chenault
The March 1992 issue of SUCCESS magazine was the first major national publication to give positive—much less enthusiastic—coverage to Network Marketing. (They still called it Multi-Level Marketing back then.) The headline was “We Create Millionaires.”
That edition outsold every other issue in the magazine’s storied near 100-year history.
It was a Tipping Point.
That flat-out endorsement of Network Marketing as a major league player in free enterprise from an esteemed business magazine helped establish our legitimate business model. We went from the “black sheep of business” to a respected leading-edge profession.
SUCCESS Magazine Cover, March 1992
A New Tipping Point is Coming
There’s another Tipping Point like that coming.
This August. In Dallas.
At this year’s Annual ANMP 2025 International Convention.
As ANMP board member Alfredo Bala wrote— and I love this line like crazy:
“The ANMP Annual Convention is essential for the future of Network Marketing.”
Why? Because it’s a “Back To the Future” moment for our profession. And the people who are leading this shift—a transition that looks a lot like a transformation—will all be there. And so, should you.
Remembering What Made Us Great
Our industry was built on a foundation of human connection. People-to-People. Belly-to-Belly. Eye-to-Eye.
It wasn’t about algorithms or automation. It was about relationships, friendships, partnerships… and
