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.
