"Ethics and the Responsible Network Marketer" - The Purpose Behind the Book

By: Kevin McNabb

Is this book really necessary?

After more than twenty years in the corporate world, ten of which included owning my own network marketing business, I felt it was necessary to really outline what ethics is, and what our role as network marketers needs to be.

After leaving the corporate world and focusing on network marketing on a fulltime basis, one thing was crystal clear: people are people no matter what business they happen to choose to be in.

I personally have an extreme passion for the world of network marketing, and even though in some cases our industry has been given a black mark, as network marketers I feel we have not only a huge responsibility, but also a massive opportunity.

What is that responsibility?

Our responsibility as network marketers is to build leaders in the global communities using an ethical base that is consistent, and treats others as we would like to be treated ourselves â€" and perhaps even better.

What is our opportunity?

Our opportunity is to build leaders using this ethical base, and have these leaders build millions of more leaders around the world, all using that same ethical base. Hopefully the end result will be not only a significant cleansing of the network marketing industry’s image, but will also leave the world a much better place.

â€oeLet me give you the definition of ethics: it is good to maintain life and to further life. It is bad to damage and destroy life. And this ethics, profound and universal, has the significance of a religion. It is religion.” - Albert Schweitzer

During my time within the network marketing industry, I have been positively influenced by hundreds of professional network marketers. I also have met too many people within the industry that are the definition of why network marketing as an industry is shunned by the masses.

In life we get to choose who our mentors are, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting several key people that I’ve been able to mentor with, a few of whom I would consider giants on this planet.

One of these giants is John Maxwell â€" an expert not only in leadership, but also in ethics.

â€oeThere is no such thing as business ethics â€" there is only ethics. People try to use one set of ethics for their professional life, another for their spiritual life, and still another at home with their family. That gets them into trouble. Ethics is ethics. If you desire to be ethical, you live by one standard across the board.” â€" John C. Maxwell

This book is a moral navigation tool for network markers that can be used in their day-to-day life.

It is my hope that this work touches millions of network marketers around the world. However, I’ll consider it a personal and professional success if I can convert one â€oenon-responsible” network marketer into a responsible network marketer.

Please note that this book has been created without any political or religious slant, thus making it useful on a global basis.

â€oeWhen I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.” â€" Abraham Lincoln

â€oeI do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern without any superhuman authority behind it.” - Albert Einstein

…Ethics and ethical principles extend to all spheres of human activity. They apply to our dealings with each other, with animals, and with the environment. They should govern our interactions not only in conducting research but also in commerce, employment, and politics. Ethics serve to identify good, desirable, or acceptable conduct and provide reasons for those considerations…

Sincerely,

Kevin McNabb

  • What's Green is Gold By: Mason Morrison - Many businesses aren’t cognizant of their practices—especially the wasteful ones. Every day companies discard perfectly reusable paper, tossing sheets into trash bins that ultimately feed our glutted landfills. Employers leave lights to burn throughout the night, illuminating vacant hallways and cubicles. And what about that faucet that has been leaking for the past 3 months? It’s just squandering water, and yet nobody seems to fix it. These practices are not only irresponsible, but also cost-ineffective. Fortunately, for many businesses, they are in fact reversible.
  • Know What to Change and What to Leave the Same By: Kaye Z. Marks - You might be getting custom business cards, but that doesn’t mean that every single thing about the card needs to be custom. There are certain things about a business card that are there for a reason. These are the aspects of a card that make it what it is, and makes sure it does the job it’s supposed to. Having clear contact information is part of that. If you have to struggle to find the contact information on a business card of all things you know you have the sign of a poor business card.
  • Make Yourself Over – From the Inside Out! By: The Q - Every television executive will tell you that shows about makeovers often get the highest ratings. There’s just something so inspiring about seeing women taken from one extreme to the other with dazzling results. The “before” pictures show them looking drab and unpolished, while the “after” pictures show them looking stylish, smiling and confident. A makeover is exciting because it is more than just a new hairdo and a flattering pair of pants. Watching them become emotional over the changes they’ve made is both fun and inspiring.
  • Adsense is Google's Advertising Innovation For Website Developers-ONLINE BUISNESS By: ANILSHARMA - There's a report circulating on the Internet that the 'glory days' of Google Adsense are over -- because of a simple anti-website-publisher change that Google made to its Adwords program earlier this year. Adwords is Google's contextual advertising innovation for Internet advertisers that lets any average person (or small business, or large company) set up his/her/its own ads -- to appear either on the Google Search Engine Page or on website pages like ours, or on both.
  • No ones knows the money will home now By: Gagan - There are literally hundreds of thousands of online businesses out there, and the problem facing most who would aspire to be online entrepreneurs is, which one to choose. Perhaps a good starting place would be to define just what a business is. In basic terms, a business may be described as a legal venture that moves a product or service into the hands of a consumer. By extension, an online business must do the same, only via the internet.
