Robert Kiyosaki Network Marketing Quotes

“In network marketing, the whole point is not to sell a product but to build a network. An army of people who are all representing that same product or service to share with others.” ~ Robert Kiyosaki

“We found that one business model stood out from the rest. This particular business model creates passive income, but requires relatively little cash investment to start up. It has very low overhead, and can be operated on a flexible part-time basis until it generates enough cash flow for the entrepreneur to transition out of his current full-time job. That business model is called network marketing…” ~ Robert Kiyosaki

“By its very nature and design, network marketing is a strikingly fair, democratic, socially responsible system of generating wealth.” ~ Robert Kiyosaki
