What was it Warren Buffett said? If he was starting over he would get into network marketing. If I were young and just starting my company I would require everyone to study Network Marketing with one of the excellent companies that provides free mentoring and weekly telephone groups to discuss ways of developing the product and teaming with each other. A company like the nutrition company Isagenix, for example, but there are a lot of them out there including the oldest now named Quik Star. I would probably start with Isagenix because their products are about health and the Artist needs a healthy body. They also have terrific mentoring and educational programs from free to a small fee. Lots of composers and performers are taking that route to supplement their income and practice marketing so they can do it in the Arts. Take a product that people believe they can do without and then develop a way to show them that they can't. (sell refrigerators to the Eskimos ala Peter Drucker) Something the Arts have done over and over again as the main powers in the capital market have continually propagandized them as frills and entertainment. >From there I would take them into the ultimate quality product, self development through the Arts. Of course if you "endgain" then you will do nothing because it doesn't pay immediately. It develops and the pay comes afterwards. It's also extremely pleasurable to do.
Network marketing is the way many of the information companies worked as well. Willie Loman is not out of fashion, just the name. Rename and study if you are going to live in a capitalist economy. Actors change their brand name all the time until one sticks. Study sales and study product. Study the fundamentalist Mega Churches for their processes. They are some of the most successful sales organizations in the Nation. What is not generally known is that Oklahoma was brought back from the rape and pillage of the Oil companies by TV preachers like Oral Roberts who funded the state and even built a University for their product. Today, these mega-church processes are found all over the map in secular companies that network market. They are not OVER in this market, they are doing building programs. What IS over, is the hired hand. The hourly wage. Learn to cooperate with each other and trade without cash so that you can save on costs and taxes. But most of all, stay away from banks and the capital market. Do everything privately and be sure that you trademark and own your product and processes. Use as little cash as possible. Litigious processes are the wave of the future and if you can't protect your property it will stolen like the MP3 and zerox methods. That's what I would if I were young and faced with this exciting new world.

Many face staggering college loans and have moved back in with their parents. Even worse, their difficulty in getting careers launched could set them back financially for years. The Millennials, broadly defined as those born in the 1980s and '90s, are the first generation of American workers since World War II who have cloudier prospects than the generations that preceded them. Certainly the recession has hurt young workers badly. While the overall unemployment rate was 9.5 percent in June, it was 15.3 percent for those aged 20 to 24, compared with 7.8 percent for ages 35-44, 7.5 percent for ages 45-54 and 6.9 percent for those 55 and older. Among 18-to 29-year-olds, unemployment is the highest it's been in more than three decades, according to a recent report <http://pewsocialtrends.org/assets/pdf/millennials-confident-connected-open- to-change.pdf> from Pew Research Center. The report also found that Millennials, also known as Generation Y, are less likely to be employed than Gen Xers or baby boomers were at the same age. Millennials are generally well-educated, but they have have been cast as everything from tech savants who will work cheap to entitled narcissists. The recession has pitted these younger workers against baby boomers trying to save for retirement and Gen Xers with homes and families.
