Format:Paperback
I have always been a fan of Zig, that is until this book. What ever happened to Zig's own Network Marketing Company? That's right it went under. Not even the marketing power of his name could save it and now he wants to tell you how to build a solid business? Zig is a great sales trainer and motivator but it's evident from this book that he didn't have much hands on experience in this business. At one point he says that you should be proud of being in the "sale profession" and then in another part he says the Network Marketing isn't about sales. Network Marketing is a legitimate business not a get rich quick scheme. Unfortunately too many people sell it as the latter and this time Zig goes along. As a seven figure earner myself I would recommend other sources like Leaders Club, for honest information about what it takes to really make it big in this business. If you want a great Ziglar book get, "5 Steps to Successful Selling."

It's really for DUMMIES March 24, 2001
Format:Paperback
This book was written by someone who has never done network marketing. For example, Zig suggests you "Interview corporate executives before joining the company, or talk to successful distributors." (p 82) Corporate executives are not going to talk to the average prospect (try calling Zig) and successful distributors (if you can talk to them) are going to to tell you how great the company is. There is a lot of such impractical advice like this in this book! I'm a Zig fan, but not this time. There are a lot of better books on the subject.

Format:Paperback
I have read hundreds of books on networking, hundreds of books on business, hundreds of text books and at least 5 novels. I met Zig when I was 18, he told me something that changed my life (it's in the book). The concept of this book is simple (thus the Dummies title), if you want to grow your group, this is the one. It is loaded with great information. Now the 5 reasons: 1. Don't but it if you want to spend the next 5 years trying to figure out the industry. 2. Don't buy it if you want to spend the next 5 years trying to figure out people. 3. Don't but it if you want to make every mistake and learn your own lessons. 4. Don't buy it read it and do nothing. 5. Don't buy it unless you have a dream of where you want to go. It's my book of the year!!!
