Market: All distributors who are currently involved in network marketing, either part-time or full-time. “My ideal candidate would be an MLM professional who is interested and ready to learn about highly advanced recruiting concepts, systems, and strategies that would help them achieve explosive growth over the next six to 12 months.”

Hours Worked Per Week Now: 60 hours. “There are no shortcuts to success. It takes time, effort, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.”

Favorite Business Magazines: Network Marketing Lifestyles, Upline Journal, Kiplinger’s Magazine, and Budget Travel Magazine.

Favorite Business Books and Authors: “While I have read all the modern-day motivational/self-help books, my personal three favorites are absolute classics that were written decades ago: Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, Magic of Thinking Big, by David Schwartz, and The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino. In my opinion, these are still the best of the best. I originally read these books about 12 years ago, and I can honestly say they changed my life forever!”

Relaxes By: Taking several one- to two-week vacations throughout the year and one four- to six-week vacation every two years. “This is the only way I can REALLY relax…by getting away from it all. I also like to race Formula Cars. In fact, one big reason I got into network marketing to begin with was because of my dream to be a race-car driver. Network marketing was the only vehicle that I could identify that would allow me to create BOTH the income and time freedom necessary to pursue such a sport. Today, I get to indulge in my favorite fantasy four to six times a year at the Sears Point Race Track in Sonoma, Calif.”

Keeps In Shape By: Working out one-on-one with a private personal-fitness trainer four times a week. “I also walk along the beach at sunset four to five miles, three times a week. This is really one of my favorite daily rituals–a brisk sunset walk on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Keawakapu, in Maui.”

Favorite Part of the Job: Helping people understand that THEY, TOO, can DO, HAVE, and BECOME anything they want and that network marketing is a VEHICLE that can take them there

Least Favorite Part of the Job: Listening to naysayers, the ones that call to complain that this doesn’t work. “These are the people who don’t believe in themselves, the industry, or in what our training concepts and strategies can do for them. What these poor souls really need is personal development. They need to invest into themselves by reading the books I’ve suggested, listening to motivational audios, and attending seminars of people who have something to teach them. I’ve always believed that if people will invest more into themselves and into their business, they will have established a solid foundation upon which to grow their business. If people would do this, they wouldn’t be naysayers and dream stealers.”

Companies Admired: ProSTEP, Inc., “because they are progressive, young, and on the cutting edge of what it takes to succeed in the business of network marketing,” and PrePaid Legal. “They have delivered a remarkable product that this country really needs-legal protection in a very cost-effective manner.” Andrew also admires Upline Journalzz. “John Milton Fogg and his staff have probably done more to enhance and recognize the tremendous potential that this industry provides than any other establishment in America today.”

Favorite Quotes: “He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it. Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. Your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.”-James Allen, from “As A Man Thinketh”.

The Person Who Most Influenced His Life: Harvey Conners, who helped launch a new network marketing company called FundAmerica. “He was VP of training for this company, and I had the GOOD FORTUNE of being exposed to Harvey’s motivational training in March of 1989. This was my first exposure to network marketing. It was through Harvey that I learned all about personal development, goal setting, and how to have a BIG dream. He clearly was the most positive guy I had ever met and showed me how to believe in myself. In many ways, the success I enjoy today can be directly attributed to the influence that Harvey had on me more than 12 years ago.”

Heroes: John Kalench, a network marketing coach and trainer. “I went to many of John’s network marketing trainings, read his wonderful books, and listened to many of his audio tapes. In fact, I had the good privilege of being invited to his birthday party shortly before he passed away. There was something really special about John. He had this incredible spiritual energy full of love, compassion, and tolerance for all. He was a WONDERFUL teacher. He touched millions of lives. I saw how John touched lives and the difference that he made, and I wanted to do the same.”

Special Accomplishments: Chosen by his primary network marketing company (Body Wise) to become a Mastery Seminar Workshop Leader. “I then had the further distinction of being chosen to become a ‘trainer to the trainers,’ helping other Body Wise leaders become Certified Mastery Seminar Workshop Leaders as well.

Months Before Achieving a Profit: Two to three months. “In the beginning, the cash flow was very small. But I’ll never forget the words of my mentor: ‘In the beginning, you will work a lot of hours to get paid very little, for which down the road, you will make a lot of money for doing very little.’”

How Andrew Got Into Business For Himself: “A business acquaintance I had met at a Chamber of Commerce mixer called me out of the blue one day and simply said he had a business proposal he wanted to run by me. Being young, entrepreneurial, and hungry, I agreed to meet him for a boardroom presentation at the headquarters of a local network marketing company called FundAmerica. I really liked what I saw. By my 10th month, my check was over $9,000/month. But the company collapsed a few months after that. It took every bit of courage and personal determination that I had to re-enter the network marketing field with yet another company. In 1990, I started with Body Wise, at which I stayed with for the next seven years, before forming Wealth Builders International and teaming up with ProSTEP in 1995.”

Best Thing About Being Self-Employed: “The best part is being in total control of my life and my time. I do what I want, when I want. I am a slave to nobody or anything. I call all my own shots. The personal satisfaction that comes with this way of life is worth the price you must pay to achieve it.”

Any Books/Tapes/Reports Authored: “I have authored several articles, reports, and tapes. The most important tape to date is called: The Secrets To Marketing Like an MLM PRO! The feedback I’ve gotten on this tape has been incredible. You can get a FREE copy mailed to you just by requesting it from my website at http://www.WBI.Freeleads.com.”
