Working from home is an attractive option for many people, promising the freedom to do what you enjoy and the ability to control your own schedule. But for some, without the stimulating office atmosphere of group goals, deadlines, and chats with coworkers, working from home might also seem isolating and demotivating.

Network marketing can be a brilliant exception to this rule. Entrepreneurship in a carefully chosen company can come ready-made with the variety, challenges and social interactions that help many people excel. From the very beginning, the right network marketing company can offer individual and team goals, a broad range of training to help you meet them, and a seasoned support team vested in your success. Once you find your feet, you are expected to mentor and teach others, ensuring the cycle of involvement and support continues.

Jody Greene, a writer for Forbes magazine, recognized effective interpersonal interactions as key elements of a successful network marketing enterprise in a recent article. Team-building, she says, “is very attractive to many entrepreneurial-minded people who do not want to have a boss watching over them but also want some pre-established structure and support.” She continues with a nod to those companies that focus on “robust infrastructure and great training.”



In a carefully chosen network marketing opportunity, these group interactions can create some of the most satisfying team dynamics in any industry. In fact, network marketing icon Tim Sales, one of the most successful trainers in the business, identifies the relationships between team members and mentors as the most crucial aspect of the business.

“More than any other business model, success in multi-level marketing relies on the ability to build teams.  Teams are simply individuals who are each contributing towards common goals,” Tim explains. “Success within your team depends upon your skill in training team members how and what to do that actually contributes towards common goals, and this won’t happen if you train once and walk away. The greatest success occurs where training is a part of your daily routine.”

Indeed, Tim built a network marketing empire on this concept, and is considered a leading figure in mentoring and team management. Those lucky enough to work directly with him praise Tim as an inspiring teacher, example and friend, and his reputation in this regard has spread industry-wide.

So for those who still consider an at-home business as an isolated and solitary venture, it may be time to take a second look at network marketing.
