Chris Zavadowski's Massive Leverage Marketing

Profile of Success: The Salesman of the Century

You’ve seen him on TV, in his red or green apron, in infomercials and on home shopping TV, showing you just how easy it is to make your own pasta or stock up on healthy snacks with his food dehydrator. His name is Ron Popeil, and he’s put that food dehydrator in over two million homes!

Maybe most famous for his Veg-O-Matic, made fun of on Saturday Night Live and Johnny Carson, or the Pocket Fisherman, Ron has invented, brought to market and sold well over a Billion Dollars of his products.

You can read his rags-to-riches life story and get his business tips in his book modestly titled The Salesman of the Century.

Ron started selling slicers ‘n dicers from a tabletop on Maxwell Street, a tourist area in Chicago in the 50′s, and at age 16 was making as much as $500.00 a day! (A small fortune decades ago.)

And he was hooked.

“I realized I didn’t have to be poor the rest of my life,” Ron wrote. “Through sales I could escape poverty….I had found a form of human connection…I felt like I could sell anything.”

Success in your network marketing business – like almost any endeavor – involves finding out what you can do, and expanding your confidence from there.

Late-Night Trivia Contest

I was just sitting here watching Conan O’Brien and had a little late-night flash of inspiration.

That’s why it’s time to have a little summer fun…with a quick trivia contest!

Want to win a free copy of the book, The Ultimate Success Secret by Dan Kennedy ($19.95 value)? Here’s your chance!

I’ve come up with two fun questions. The first person to post the correct answer gets the book mailed to him (or her). Easy, huh?

So here are the questions:

1) What do these people have in common? Frank Lloyd Wright, Walt Disney, H. J. Heinz, J.C. Penney. (Hint: Think financial status)

2) Aaron Copland wrote a suite called Appalachian Spring and also music for a ballet on a legendary gunslinger. Who was the gunslinger?

Just use the "COMMENTS" feature on this blog to post your answers! And feel free to share any other thoughts on the blog you want to!

Hope you’re having a great summer,

Chris

P.S. – Yes, I know this is a little off the mark from my usual "business"-type blog posts. But hey – having your own home business is about having a FUN, lifestyle business.

If you aren’t having any fun in YOUR business, something’s wrong!
