Your compensation is directly proportional to how many lives you touch.

Think about it: everybody you know, everyone that you meet, also know about 250 people. So every time you cultivate a relationship with one new person, you have actually expanded your personal inventory by 250 people - every single time.

Unless you are able to influence the way others think and act, your chances for success are limited.

Your true value is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

It isn't just what you know, and it isn't just who you know. It's actually who you know, who knows you, and what you do for a living.

Networking is simply the cultivating of mutually beneficial, give and take, win-win relationships. It works best, however, when emphasizing the "give" part.

The most successful network marketers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own.
