Important - Your membership in the DRA is critical. The reason this is SO important is that the DRA is currently the best single resource for all serious Network Marketers to "protect" themselves against unfair conduct and the possible abuses that they may face in this industry (common). Ask us for our FREE REPORT about why you should join the DRA. To learn all about the DRA (and see the 'Distributor Bill Of Rights') => Click HERE Policies & Procedures? - Have you read your P&Ps? They represent the Legal CONTRACT you sign when you join your NWM Company. The P&Ps are binding - as a LEGAL BUSINESS AGREEMENT. The P&Ps are the real TEST of a company's INTEGRITY - its thinking - its heart - its attitude towards the field (its Independent Business Owners [IBOs]). Some companies have a ton of RED FLAGS in their P&Ps and in their T&Cs (Terms and Conditions). Most people, when starting their new Home Businesses, do not even 'read' them - let alone STUDY them. Many companies have P&Ps that run 40 - 50 - to over 100 pages long - in tiny print. Many P&Ps are not even 'openly displayed' on their website Home Page. To give you a more detailed look at what you should be warned about in the P&Ps => Click HERE Unjust Terminations - If you want to see the REALITY of what can happen in our industry, Click HERE - HERE - HERE - HERE - HERE Forum Article - Here's an article posted about this - Click HERE I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y - This is SO crucial - we need to revisit it: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonar C. Nader - "Lack of Leadership and Integrity are the BIGGEST Issues facing organizations in the networked world. Those who do not have these will find that NO amount of Technology can give them the advantages they seek." --------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEGRITY- from this, ALL things flow. When we hear of those ugly stories that are 'really happening' in our NWM industry - hurting SO many people - both financially and emotionally, it is a major crime. Due to bad management - unethical behavior - fraud - greed - large egos - and lack of INTEGRITY => too many paths of DESTRUCTION have been left. It is NO different from what we are seeing in CORP NORTH AMERICA. First, in 'our' industry - without real EXPERIENCE in the field trenches by the Management Team - very bad decisions can be made - that could negatively impact those trying to build a business from home. INTEGRITY - It should be the very "foundation" of Leadership. It is moral soundness - it is honor - truth - character - freedom from corrupting influence, or motive. It is about practicing the Golden (Platinum) Rule. It is about treating people with respect - without judgement. It is the most 'fundamental source' of one's personal worth. In the NWM industry - Management INTEGRITY and their Field EXPERIENCE sets out the entire 'tone and mood' of the Company POLICIES and PROCEDURES - it spells out the Corp. 'attitude' behind its -TERMS and CONDITIONS - its COMP PLAN - its Customer SERVICE - it's Product RESEARCH - its Satisfaction GUARANTEES - its whole Field SUPPORT Structure - and much more. INTEGRITY - should cause the Management / Ownership to provide the highest level of CARE and ACCOUNTABILITY to those they lead. Be very careful to select a Company that will NOT go into COMPETITION "against you", by switching from NWM - to DIRECT SALES - and then "abandoning" you. Be very careful to select a NWM company that will NOT "sell out" to the Highest Bidder a few years down the road - so that you will always "know" you have the SECURITY of being able to pass your businesses on - to your children and to their children. INTEGRITY - Look for it - in their Vision / in their Mission / in their Leadership / in their Purpose / in their Values - in their Promises.
