Building Your Network Business:
Proven Ideas From Successful Leaders

Buy paperback or Kindle eBook at Amazon
Buy paperback at Barnes and Noble

This book is for everyone who wants to consider, start, operate or grow their network marketing business. It provides 104 brief topical discussions organized into sections dedicated to building your personal, marketing, and networking skills.

I have prepared PDF versions of sections of the entire Building Your Network Business: Proven Ideas From Successful Leaders book for you to download, sample, enjoy and pass around. Each entry, below, includes (or will include):

• The title,
• A brief synopsis,
• Tweetable text including:
• An embedded link to a viewable and downloadable PDF file of the entire piece, and
• A link to a discussion blog post on this site for that individual piece. I hope that you will actively participate in commenting on what you read.

You will quickly discover that the downloadable PDF is wrapped in my contact information (in the header) and information about some of my books (in the footer). This seemed to be a fair trade. You get to share your favorite parts with friends, they get to score some pretty cool free samples, and I really appreciate the extra exposure,

This is how much of modern direct-to-reader publishing and marketing is going to work. I depend on your good will and social contacts. I hope that we will end up considering each other to be friends. Thank you! DavidS

p.s.: For this book, especially, if you find yourself setting about to print more than a couple of sections (like for handouts at a group training meeting), you should probably just go ahead and buy the entire book. Thank you!

But first, a little praise for the author and the book

• David just plain gets it. He demonstrates a high level of emotional intelligence and sees how we can improve ourselves and our work while treating others with understanding and respect.
• This is not your usual rah-rah. There are some people who shouldn't get into network marketing. The author seems as equally comfortable warning them off as he is showing the rest of us how to succeed.
• This book is more than a list of ideas for self-employed entrepreneurs; it can also be taken as a general guide for living a happier, more-effective life.
• There are more practical ideas, packed more densely, than I have seen anywhere. This is a very practical guide. Relevant quotes from successful leaders and historical figures provide frequent food for thought.
