October 2008

This is a momentous time for TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com.

We are celebrating three highly successful years… but more important, ushering in a new era in the evolution of our industry. We will be guiding you down the Chosen Road.

As we move through life, we have many choices to make, none more important than the road we will walk down.

Although we are all different in many ways, we share a powerful commonality: we want to walk down the road that will provide us with peace, prosperity, security- and the knowledge that we are doing the right thing for ourselves and our loved ones. We are making this mission the movement of TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com, and this will be our commitment to making our industry an industry everyone is proud to be a part of. In the months to come our contributors and I will be sharing the 5 core principals of what this chosen road is all about. Happy anniversary, and thank you for walking with us on this chosen road.

Aim high!
