Five Misconceptions About Network MarketingI’m about to tell you to discard almost everything you’ve heard about network marketing. Multilevel marketing, also known as mlm or network marketing, is a specialized niche of sales that has the potential to catapult you into five figure monthly earnings, but only if you understand it and approach your marketing seriously. The fact is, most of what you’ve heard about network marketing is misconception, some of it fostered by recruiters and some of it by detractors. Here are the five most common myths about network marketing and how they can trip you up. Network marketing – isn’t that just like a pyramid scheme? Pyramid schemes are illegal investment schemes that involve no product – or more precisely, the investment scheme itself is the product. Network marketing, on the other hand, is a way to sell a product through word of mouth. As in any other business, the more people you have working for yo Dear reader - this article was developed to explain in pray fully simple, basic words and with a universal understanding of why one COE does not fit all, why there are varied COE's,
and the important question as to why different approaches are taken in
administration. And why we have supported APEX since its inception in 1999.Approaches: Please see the second section on the Gnostic and the Knights administration. Both require background reading and there is no substitute for gathering accurate and factual information. As
we read the varied backgrounds, explore the historical significance, seek meaning for certain words, we begin to form the basis for our own beliefs, rather than blindly following or taking an oath
without meaning. Which ever approach is taken, an individual revisits a COE on a daily basis to instill the personal meaning and tempers understanding by application of honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness and
compassion. This is not a one time trip. It is a continuous journey the whole of our lives on this earth. One Does Not Fit All: Doctors, lawyers, web developers, forums and all others have a very different set of objectives and as a result, have very different COE's, but again and again...all contain
honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness and compassion. To me at least the highest COE among we mere mortals on earth is that of a mother, who also holds her warm arms around all, with she who is
called "moral courage." Conclusion: Ethics is an application which includes sound logic based upon more than casual inspection and must be a matter taken seriously today as in yester year. The survival our humankind depends
upon order, not chaos, love not hate, compassion not ridicule and a quest to be stronger than a locomotive, run faster than a speeding bullet and being able to leap tall buildings with a single
bound. Code of Ethics Background Ethics is best understood by taking the individual's time for instruction, understanding and application. Professional Associations are among those who adopt a "code of ethics" for their memberships. Each administers compliance with the code according to the specific needs and wants of the organization.
But all include the core elements of honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness and compassion. Many also include the provision of "moral courage" which has an ancient origin. The ancient origin of ethics has not been altered in any significant
form from its beginning and continues today because the philosophy, is a study; not mere words in which one does not seek understanding, truth and knowledge. Origins of Ethics Influenced by Daoism, Zhou Dunyi (1017-1073) commented on the Yi Jing (Book of Changes) and explained the cosmic diagram of the great ultimate in a new way according to Confucian philosophy that
emphasizes ethics. Superior people cultivate moral qualities and enjoy good fortune, while the inferior violate them and suffer. Following The Center of Harmony (Zhong Yong), Zhou Dunyi believed the
foundation of a sage comes from cheng, which means sincerity, honesty, integrity, and authenticity. From this integrity he derived the five traditional Confucian virtues of humanity, justice,
propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness. Humanity is loving; justice is doing what is right; propriety is putting things in order; wisdom is penetrating; and faithfulness is abiding by one's commitments.
Zhou Dunyi explained that in human nature are strength and weakness, good and evil, and the mean (center). Confucius also concluded that music was central to this ordered universe in that the harmony was essential for its preservation and expansion. Reading became central to the application, but carried a
divine responsibility, for having read one now has the duty to expand knowledge by administering to the needs and wants of those who could not read. Understanding and a one-ness became crucial to

Your First Million Is Closer Than You ThinkReaching millionaire status used to seem like an incomparable task reserved only for the intellectually gifted or the insanely lucky. However, these days obtaining a million is becoming less and less of a feat. I was shocked by the number of millionaire's that actually exist in the U.S. today.
It is estimated that over 2,770 new millionaire's are created per day (in the U.S. alone!). How insane is that? That number was almost impossible to believe until I found several sources that reported about the same estimate.It is also reported that the ways in which these people achieve millionaire status varies greatly. There is no direct connection between millionaire's and a particular industry. What does this mean to us?.... Well, actually quite a bit.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO US?Firstly, the fact that so many people become millionaire's everyday let's us know that the feat is attainable.

Three Tips For Rebuilding Your Business After Tragedy StrikesOkay, so your worst nightmare just came true. Your business was destroyed by forces beyond your control – by the forces of nature, a freak accident, a crime or maybe even a terrorist attack. Now what? Is your life over? Can you ever recover from this? Yes you can! There are three things you can do to determine the final impact that this tragedy has on your life. No, you can’t make it go away, but you do have the power to make an internal choice of how it will affect you.CHOOSE TO BELIEVEIt is essential that you stop and get your bearings. Assess where you are and what resources you have around you. Stop and assess the damage for what it is. Acknowledge it, but make a verbal declaration – out loud – that you will survive it. Yes, cancer and hurricanes are still terminal, but plenty of people survive them. Just a few days after Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer, he held a press conference in which he boldly diagram of the great ultimate in a new way according to Confucian philosophy that

True North of Your Career Search: Creating a Professional Mission StatementSuzanne was accustomed to sweaty palms. Getting established on the speaker circuit, she hadn’t yet moved beyond stage fright. On one occasion, however, she was delighted to find her palms dry! What was the secret? Talking it over with her coach, she saw that her topic, and this particular audience, was precisely in line with her vision of her purpose, the reply to “why I’m here”. She had been true to her professional mission statement. The experience of being aligned in this way apparently left no room for self-consciousness or fear of rejection.Like Suzanne, taking the time to think about your answer to why you’re here on the planet – to articulate your mission statement – will serve you in many ways.Being in alignment
As was true for Suzanne, when you’re doing a piece of work that’s in accordance with your mission, you may find you have such heartfelt connection with what you’re saying and the people you’re speaking to the application, but carried a

show courage in the face of the enemy
-
never be cruel in battle and show mercy and compassion to the enemy.
Knights as a group administered their code of ethics. Those in violation where immediately stripped of knighthood. There was no tribunal summoned nor a vote of the membership. Three knights in
good standing held the authority. Historical footnote to the Knights administration: Augustinus the philosopher eluded to "three knights in good standing and their authority" but included the concept of "redemption" which allowed
reinstatement. However after three "falls from grace" was given a permanent ban upon being a knight. Hence an origin of "three strikes and you are out."

Core moral values include honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness and compassion and have come to be a kind of litmus test for ethical behavior. Added to that list is a word "courage" which is
now commonly accepted but absent from formal presentations but abundant in classroom discussions and formal gatherings of those involved specifically in the area of ethics.
-
Courage comes in several forms: moral versus physical courage, where moral is
not about facing physical challenges that harm the body, but facing mental
challenges that could harm one's reputation, emotional well-being, self-esteem
or other. The first step in regaining high moral ground is to recognize moral
courage which is like the string which ties a strand of pearls together and
includes honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness, and compassion. A second
step is recognizing what "moral courage" is not: which is the exact opposite or
in other words the easy wrong, rather than the hard right. Step three would be
to engage in acts of moral courage, because with every experience lived, we can
engage in the next without as much fear. The danger lies in refusing to face the
fear, by not daring to come to grips with it.
ConclusionCodes of conduct, pledges of morality and other ethical charters have been with us from the beginning of time, yet there are humans who adopt lives by these codes knowing full well that others may
not. That my good friends is the genesis of the APEX code of conduct which applies to our
growing community. Least we lose ourselves and our morality, please do not use the excuse that "others are
not following" to do anything other ourselves than to lift each person up who honestly and compassionately tries to "live the code." And who may be found wanting, will witness the "moral courage" of
a friend to bring each back into fellowship. P.S. To err is human; to forgive is divine
