Brian Biro is definitely a family man. He says his wife Carole and their children have had the greatest, most meaningful influence on his life. He wanted to create a livelihood that allowed him to be with his family much more than when he was in the corporate arena. He also wanted to be able to choose where they live." I wanted to work in my home ­ away from traffic and to be able to generate the income we wanted without having to live the story of the powerful classic song, 'The Cat's in the Cradle.' I was determined to create a joyful, abundant livelihood while finding great balance."

And, indeed, Brian has achieved that and more. After taking the plunge into working for himself in network marketing, Brian reached a profit during the first month. And he has never looked back. He wrote a best seller, Beyond Success, and he has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN's Business Unusual, and the Fox News Network. He was also rated the number one speaker from over 50 nationally certified speakers at each of the last two INC Magazine National Customer Service programs.

In addition to his family, he has three heroes. The first is Coach Jim Wooden. "Coach Wooden is a shining example of humility, living one's principles and peace of mind. He is the greatest of all time in his profession, yet never seeks credit or plaudits. He lives one of his favorite quotes: 'It's amazing what gets accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.'"

Brian has studied Mahatma Gandhi extensively and continually marvels at his amazing dedication to learning. "He never stopped growing and searching for more truth. His unshakable belief in peace, compassion, and human dignity changed the world for the better."

Mother Teresa has also provided a great deal of inspiration for Brian. "I wept when we lost Mother Teresa last summer. She was the most beautiful example of service I have ever seen. She taught us that service is love in action. Ultimately, despite living virtually all of her life in the midst of abject poverty and pain, she shined with joy. There is nothing more magnificent than true giving, and Mother Teresa lived every moment with that spirit."

Brian finds it difficult to stop talking about his family. "Every single day they give me unstoppable inspiration. Every single day they fill my heart with purpose. And every single day they remind me of what is truly important."As he reflects on his reasons for embarking into network marketing, Brian concludes, "The final key was the passion and sense of fulfilling my purpose I feel when I teach, speak, and write. Everyday I feel grateful for the freedom I feel in my life. YESSS! Life is GOOD!"

And indeed, Brian Biro has made a good life for himself and his family thanks to the opportunities present in the industry of network marketing.
