Network marketing can pay your children’s children for the rest of their lives. If the company is still around and they don’t steal your check. Michael Dlouhy has developed a simple method to measure a company.

A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet, but if it is lacking any of the Five Pillars, you could lose everything overnight. Your income and reputation are a stake.

This is the first of 5 pillars.

Pillar 1: Does the company management have personal experience building their own network organization? Have they done it with Integrity?

• Search Google for the owners of the company.
• Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word 'Scam' to your search.
• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an in-the-field Network Marketing background?
• Read your "Policies & Procedures" and "Terms & Conditions";
both are part of your Legal Contract.
• Look for the word "Ongoing".
• Look for policies that strike you as "Unreasonable". Like "Termination, with or without cause".
• Ask yourself "Does this contract protect me or the company?" "Is it clear which way it leans?"
• Does the company charge you for training or a company web site?
• Does the company charge you for each paycheck they send you?
• Rules of Thumb:
• The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you are being hidden in "Legalese"!
• If it's a "Cash Only" business...It's a Scam!
• If you can buy a position at the top...It's a Scam!
• If you are offered a "Special Deal"...the playing field isn't level for all.
• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly reduced price...Buy there instead.
• If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favor of the Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors.
• Check these two websites: www.MLMwatchdog.com and www.MarketWaveInc.com.

Too many people spend years building a business then have it taken away with no recourse. Protect yourself and do a little research to make sure the company and the management are sound.

I will be doing the 2nd Pillar next week. If you want to learn more of the truth and how to become a success at network marketing go to http://waynepetty.successin10steps.com/?mad=42403
