The MLM Giant of the 1970's!,
By Mike Musich (Portland, Me) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dare to be Great: The Unauthorized Story of Glenn Turner (Hardcover)
This book offers a riviting account of the top network marketing company of the 1970's-Turner Enterprises which actually started with one company, Koscot, a cosmetic company that nearly toppled Avon and Dare To Be Great, a motivational and personal development company.Turner Enterprises extrapulated into 78 companies in 21 countries with over $300,000,000 in sales and nearly 1 million distributors creating over 600 millionaires.Aside from this incredible growth is the factor that the CEO was Glenn W. Turner, a 8th grade dropout who had been born in a charity ward with a harelip and a bad speech impediment. In addition, Turner was named "American of the Year" in 1972 and ran for senate in the state of Florida beating 6 worthy opponents, although losing the race.Turner had 700 lawsuits filed against him, won 699 and lost only one.An incredible success story. Also an incredible story of government abuse in America at that time. Most people feel that Turner was essentially railroaded.Also recommend Turner, Turner, Turner: The King of Network Marketing, The Unstoppable Glen Turner and The Unstoppable American.

Fascinating!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dare to be Great: The Unauthorized Story of Glenn Turner (Hardcover)
I came across this book in a used bookstore. Since I enjoy reading success stories of business people, thought that I would add the is one to my library.This book covers the rise of a company called "Dare to Be Great", a motivational MLM company in the 70's created by a guy named Glenn W. Turner.Despite the companies eventual downfall, I found this success story very inspirational and motivational. Goes to show what can be done with sheer will power, determination and stickability.
