Thanks to The Renegade Network Marketer – Ann Sieg – I think I Finally "GET" The New Wave Of Network Marketing http://www.emilycressey.com/blog/thanks-to-the-renegade-network-marketer-ann-sieg-i-think-i-finally-get-the-new-wave-of-network-marketing http://www.emilycressey.com/blog/thanks-to-the-renegade-network-marketer-ann-sieg-i-think-i-finally-get-the-new-wave-of-network-marketing#comments Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:20:53 +0000 Emily http://www.emilycressey.com/blog/2009/03/12/thanks-to-the-renegade-network-marketer-ann-sieg-i-think-i-finally-get-the-new-wave-of-network-marketing/ Even though I'm not in an MLM business, I am strangely fascinated by the model. My concern has always been that, like President Obama, they are selling hope but not real results - and using high-pressure tactics to do it. Ann Sieg, The Renegade Network Marketer, has put a different more "traditional business" spin on MLM that I think makes sense in many ways. Is this the future of network marketing?

Ben and I both got a viral pink-eye infection that seemed to be accompanied by a pretty severe cold.  Blake was spared.  It makes us very grateful for the invention of Kleenex, Tylenol and indoor heating.  Every time I get sick, I wonder what it must have been like [...]
