This book is one of best fact book i've ever read, after reading wave 3, wave 4 really hit the Heart in MLM, the stories and coming substantial changes in the business organization proves a best time to enter the new age of network marketing, after reading this book, it will motivated everyone in your downline.

Poe does a good job of outlining mlm's growth and the direction the industry is heading. However, he does not outline the way to success in mlm. Randy Gage wrote a book called How to Build a Multi-Level Money Machine that I found extremely helpful because it cuts through the hype and mystery of true success in mlm. Gage gives a system for achieving a growing network and a system that is duplicatable.

Though I have never been interested with MLM or Network Marketing before, I am grateful to authors like Richard Poe who wrote from a very objective point of view. I suspect many so-called great authors are nowhere close to this man. Some books blatantly promote all MLM business as good and worth a try but my hunch indicates otherwise. Thanks Richard for this great book. After reading his book, I will take a new look at MLM and related businesses once again. I strongly urge you to read this book and judge for yourself. Looking forward to Wave 5 and Wave 6 if e-networking is not the final frontier.

This will be a textbook for thousands and a bible for more. Newcomers read to Chapter 18 then Part Eleven onwards. When you see why social and corporate America is adopting this industry like no tomorrow, you will read the middle chapters. Life is not all doom and gloom, there is incredible opportunity here. If technology bothers you, others exist to show you the way.

In short: if your business does not have a personalised customer base you fight against the odds; if, as an individual, you are not in a financial linkage then you passup what looks like the only route to a secure future income (and retirement); if, as a consumer, you are not using the system then you could pay dearly.

Compelling reading: name me a textbook that you found impossible to put down? Now you know about MLM, stand tall and speak up.

I found this book to be clearly written, concise, timely and generally very helpful for those new to network marketing or even the lifetime veterans. Poe's book explains what to look for in a company and what features may be best suited to your particular talents and financial goals. It is also a very good authority on how much money you can expect to make, with a sincere effort, if you are lucky enough to find something that is a true groundfloor opportunity. I especially liked reading the stories of winners, ordinary people, with little or no technical knowledge or expertise, average abilities, who persevered, learned the secrets of success, learning from their mistakes, until they finally achieved truly amazing incomes that put them in the top 1% of all wage earners in this country. It's a great inspiration to anyone held slave to the corporate ideals of success with all the baggage that this lifestyle entails. Thanks to the Internet, today, anyone can work from their home, watch their children grow up. Go skiing whenever it suits them, and still have huge checks come to you in the mail. No commuting, no suit and tie, no waiting for the gold watch retirement. For more information on this industry, how to get started, what to look for, how to use the power of the Internet to build a large organization quickly, etc, consult my own website. 1stfamily

Richard Poe has done it again! I ordered this book here on Amazon.com, and when it arrived, I was hooked. His writing style is so easy to follow, and his insight, as in his other "wave" series books, is uncanny. This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone even comsidering the MLM industry. It is hard to put down until the last page has been read, then the feeling of wishing there was more to read. He is a genious. Buy this book!

While this book may not be a how to book, it definitely gets into the why of network or mlm marketing. Wave 4 is a easy read and should be a part of any new distributors training kit.For more on the how to I suggest The Wave 4 way to building your downline and Mark Yarnell's, Your first year in Network Marketing. I have everyone in my downline reading and applying the information in these books. Wave 4 should also be recommended to skeptical potential prospects. If it doesn't excite them about the possibilites of mlm, then their wood is all wet. winningimage2@webtv.net

Wow! Richard really knows his stuff. At Last someone who wants to tell us the truth! Always predicting what we haven't even seen yet. This book is a revelation to the beginner and professional network marketer, and anyone who's dabbling in MLM, or at all curious. He disects MLM, and shows us step-by-step every part of Network Marketing, the immense power of Leverage, where it will take us, Teaches us how to understand the compensation plan, trends, etc. I will always respect and admire Richard Poe, and forever read his books. A wise investment indeed. Richard's Wave 4 comes highly recommended. He helped me develop a deeper knowledge in my Internet Marketing business...

I must say this is the best book I have ever read in my 10+ years in MLM. Richard Poe describes (in detail!) the coming trends that really will help millions become involved in network marketing. These are not trends he hopes will come, but you will realize it is coming like a steamroller. Network marketing is now inevitable and millions worldwide will take advantage of it!

But, it took about 2 months to digest the full impact of Richard's new book for me. I learned what "affiliate" marketing is and have now become an affiliate for many companies.... I now can "refer" others to buy Wave 4 (and other books) via my web site and I get a 15% commission.... Cool! In visiting Richard's Wave 4 web site , you'll see he is doing the same thing.

He (and I) don't have to handle the inventory, manage the sale, ship the books, or anything else. Yet as a reward for "referring" others, we get a 15% commission.... Isn't that what networking is all about, referring others to products and services and getting paid to do that?!

So opening my eyes to this form of network marketing has been very revealing. I now share with others the many types of networking (affiliate, mlm) available to anyone who has access to the Internet.

I have also realized what a "Wave 4" network marketing company is and I am glad that my choice in mlm is now a Wave 4 company. Passive income, here I come!

I am going to buy this book for my downline leaders -- what a great tool for us to use when recruiting new leaders. The author is not in MLM, so offers an objective view of the industry and reaffirms our belief that MLM is truly the "wave" of the future.
