Arguably the Biggest news of 2009 in the MLM industry is ” Trump network Marketing Prelaunch”. Formally Ideal Health, acquired by Donald Trump, is set to launch, re-launch under it’s new name, The Trump Network in October, 2009. They plan on providing customized vitamins and nutrition in and effort to make people healthier while offering a unique opportunity for individuals to become entrepreneurs and take control of their financial future. With that being said, will The Trump Network opportunity gain traction? And will you be able to earn a solid income?

In my view, new network marketing companies require three things in place to succeed. TIMING, a UNIQUE Product and the right LEADERSHIP. Lets take a look at those three requirements in a bit more detail.

Requirement #1: TIMING, Never has it been a better time to launch a company given the current state of the economy. Let me explain, now more than ever, people are looking for a way to take control of their financial future. With recent job cuts at an all time high and still climbing, people will be turning to network marketing in record numbers.

Then there is The Wellness Revolution, according to Paul Zane Pilzer, World-Renowned Economist. ” In 2002, The Wellness Revolution defined an industry and outlined an emerging $200 billion industry. Today, wellness has grown to $500 billion and it’s still just getting started, offering even greater entrepreneurial opportunities. So Trump Network Marketing has definitely timed it’s prelaunch perfectly. Then there’s requirement 2, a UNIQUE product.

Requirement #2 : A UNIQUE product, Trump Network Marketing will be offering Customized vitamins and nutrition. My concern with the product is that there is another company that already offers a similar product. On the other hand there is room in the marketplace for this kind of nutrition, the potential is definitely there for Trump Network Marketing.

requirement #3: LEADERSHIP, Without solid leadership, and company is literally MEANINGLESS, unless the right people are standing behind it. You can have the most innovative products on the planet, but without the proper field leadership and Of course financial and corporate leadership, the company will struggle. I don’t think that will be the case for this opportunity thou, I’m sure “The Donald” will surround himself with a top notch executive team and field leadership.

Thus far things are looking pretty promising for Trump Network Marketing. HOWEVER, I will say one more thing.

Any business, Trump Network Marketing included, is literally A Waste OF TIME to the marketer just starting out… unless you KNOW how to market, how to generate leads, and the PRINCIPLES behind succeeding in this industry first.

Many rookie marketers (newbies), myself included when I first got started in the industry, struggled, some will eventually quit, regardless of their products or companies, because they simply do not KNOW how to market, or build their businesses FIRST. Your job as an entrepreneur is to EDUCATE yourself first and foremost, to develop yourself, and to ALWAYS be learning and growing. Do this and you will have major advantages over most Trump Network Marketing Distributors.
