There are twenty principles of network marketing in the book, and these can be grouped broadly into service and leadership categories. In the service category, the author explains the higher concepts of service to humanity and why this is essential to success in network marketing. In the leadership category, he justifies the hard work and sacrifices a person must make in order to become the most vaunted of leaders: a leader of people.
Throughout the book, the author cautions against falling into the habit of the ways of the false leader, or Zirconia as he calls them. He lashes out critically against people who would call themselves leaders and then leave all the work for their followers to do. He stresses time and again that while a true leader, a Diamond, and a Zirconia look the same on the surface, only the Diamond will truly succeed in uplifting the lives of others, while the Zirconia will leave a trail of failed ventures as he shifts to the next opportunity offering easy rewards for almost no work.
The book itself is easy to read, with a flowing, conversational style of writing that makes one feel that the author was speaking to one directly. Personal anecdotes, from the lives of the author himself and the people he has personally known, as well as those of famous personalities in human history, are interspersed throughout the book, and provide a touching and human side to the concepts they are used to convey.
All in all, this book is an excellent read and is a must-have for the serious network marketer wants to succeed, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of improving the lives of others, and leading them on to greatness.
... Another writer again agreed with all my generalities, but said that as an
inveterate skeptic I have closed my mind to the truth. Most notably I have
ignored the evidence for an Earth that is six thousand years old. Well, I
haven't ignored it; I considered the purported evidence and *then* rejected
it. There is a difference, and this is a difference, we might say, between
prejudice and postjudice. Prejudice is making a judgment before you have
looked at the facts. Postjudice is making a judgment afterwards. Prejudice
is terrible, in the sense that you commit injustices and you make serious
mistakes. Postjudice is not terrible. You can't be perfect of course; you
may make mistakes also. But it is permissible to make a judgment after you
have examined the evidence. In some circles it is even encouraged.
