		<description>Internet network marketing is about people first not business plans or profits. Build people and people will build your business. You must be able to identify the needs and frustrations that your potential clients face. Then you should develop an attractive and personal business identity. This is the concept of attraction marketing, a new system where you develop ongoing relationships with clients by educating your buyers first and then moving them along the buying path in your communications. Making yourself an indispensable source of information can establish your reputation, credibility and identity as an authority networker and help build your downline fast as more and more prospects get to trust you and join your program. </description>

		<description>Never seen a business partnership, advertisement or hiring not coincide with a knowledge and understanding of the other business&#039;s motivations. Knowing those in your field is vital for success. </description>

		<description>Let&#039;s rephrase Libert&#039;s comment using the same, off-the-cuff logic: 
 
&quot;Mzinga never thought of themselves as a company that values its employees, which is why they cut 6% of their workforce in January.&quot; 
 
(That&#039;s a fact: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2009/01/05/daily35-Social-media-firm-Mzinga-cuts-15-jobs.html)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2009/01/05/da...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Of course, I don&#039;t &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; think Mzinga does not care about their workers. I&#039;m just demonstrating that Libert&#039;s remark is disingenious and unfounded. This is pure pundrity: leveraging someone else&#039;s failure as an excuse to push your own agenda.  
 
The factors involved in the crisis at General Motors are complex. It is hogwash to blame their failure on their choice of mission statement. Business is about connecting, but it&#039;s also about innovation and respect. Let&#039;s focus on what we can create and measure, not where we can invent blame to make ourselves look good.
