Supporting Entrepreneurship Education

It’s not surprising when you think about it, that during times of recession and economic stress, an increasing number of people consider an entrepreneurial venture.  If you’ve been laid off, for example, one positive response is to take your skills and abilities and start a business of your own doing something you’re passionate about.  But what if you don’t have start up funds?  What if you’re not sure what to pursue? What if you don’t know anything about running a business?  And what if you are still unemployed and you need a source of income? An immediate alternative for you might be direct sales.  Why not sell for a while and sock away some start-up funds for that new venture while learning the basics of running your own business with the support of an established company with great products and great training?

Being A Road Warrior

Over the last several months I’ve done a lot of travelling – some for pleasure but most for business.  This is pretty typical in my role at Vector Marketing, but the frequency, number and length of the trips was extraordinary, even for me.  Now that I’m home, sleeping in my own bed, eating home cooked meals and back to my routine, friends and family are asking “How did you do it?”

From Skeptical Parent to Avid Fan, by Robin Ross

Robin Ross & her son Mike Lang

When my son Mike first went to work for Vector Marketing, I was very skeptical. Initially I worried that the job was a scam designed to get kids to have their parents buy product. I was concerned, and I certainly did not expect him to get the training he got, along with many other benefits of this experience.

It was amazing to watch his people skills and confidence grow by the week. Over the course of his first year with the company, he became much more positive, persistent, and goal-oriented than he had ever been. He moved beyond our family and friends within a couple of months and began developing his own referral resources. Read Article ›
