Special episode and the lessons we can learn from the recent Modere Closing and the future of network marketing.Episode OverviewIn this episode, I dive deep into the recent shocking news of Modere shutdown without any prior notice, leaving thousands of distributors and the entire network marketing community shocked.I share not only the implications of the Modere shutdown but also the essential lessons that network marketers must learn to protect their futures and build resilient businesses.Modere: What Exactly Happened?On Friday, April 11th, 2025, Modere closed without any warning or notification.I was hanging out with my mom who was visiting from NYC when my friend Ian Farrar text me about it.I felt “sick to my stomach,” knowing friends and colleagues who had built significant incomes were suddenly left with no commissions and no clear path forward.Notable leaders like Justin Prince, Marina Simone, and others had previously left, signaling underlying issues.Still, the abrupt closure was entirely unexpectedly, making what happened to Modere even more devastating.Immediate Impact on Leaders and DistributorsI highlighted the stark reality faced by many top earners and everyday distributors in Modere:Incomes ranging from $1,000 per month to $100,000 per month vanished overnight.Unlike previous cases (such as Beachbody or Rodan + Fields shifting models), Modere provided no transition, leaving no “Plan B”.Final product orders were delivered, but beyond fulfilling refunds, everything else ceased abruptly.Is Network Marketing Still Worth It After Modere Shutdown?I addressed this question…Is residual income still viable in network marketing?I emphasize that:Any industry carries risk. Even large corporations like Kodak have vanished over time.I personally still earn network marketing residual incomefrom a business I built over two decades ago, proving that stability can exist but requires both skill and luck.I underscore that Modere’s closing doesn't represent the entire industry—many companies continue to thrive.Lessons Learned From Modere1. Entrepreneurship Involves RiskEntrepreneurship, including network marketing, involves ups and downs. Companies may close, and markets fluctuate. I reassure listeners that risk is universal, not exclusive to network marketing.2. Network Marketing Residual Income Requires Smart ChoicesNetwork marketing residual income exists but requires choosing stable companies and products with lasting demand.I share insights from my own success, acknowledging the element of luck but also highlighting the importance of market research and strategic planning.3. Personal Development and GrowthThe true benefit of network marketing isn't solely financial but personal.I share my journey from being a shy, quiet Asian kid from Brooklyn, New York, to someone confidently impacting thousands through speaking and coaching.I describe network marketing as a “personal development university with a pay plan.”Why Personal Branding Yourself is EssentialI stress that the Modere shutdown underscores the critical importance of personal branding:Individuals overly associated with a single company risk losing their identity if the company fails.Leaders who built strong personal brands (such as Tony and Sarah Zolecki, John and Nadia Melton, Michelle Barnes) transitioned smoothly to new ventures due to their personal following.Building your personal brand through consistent value-driven content ensures your community follows you beyond any single company’s fate.Characteristics of Network Marketing Companies That LastI draw from my 22 years of industry experience to highlight characteristics common to enduring network marketing companies:Avoiding Hype: Companies built on solid, valuable products rather than short-lived excitement tend to last.Steady Growth Over Rapid Expansion: Companies that grow steadily rather than explosively typically sustain longer.International Expansion: Successful, long-lasting companies eventually expand internationally, maintaining a fresh influx of ambitious leaders.Homegrown Leadership Development: Companies that develop new leaders internally, rather than recruiting high-profile leaders from other companies, achieve lasting growth and resilience.Protecting Your Future After Modere ClosingFocus on Core Business ActivitiesI advise listeners to concentrate on income-producing activities and avoid excessive distractions such as overly focusing on industry news or social media scrolling.Implementation Over InformationThe Modere closing illustrates the importance of action.Instead of just consuming information about industry events, I emphasize the need for practical implementation:Improve customer service and community-building.Offer intangible value (personal support, accountability, recognition) that competitors like Amazon can't replicate.Reinforce your unique value to customers to prevent loss to cheaper alternatives.The Importance of Investing and DiversifyingIn business there's always uncertainty. I emphasize financial responsibility:Invest network marketing income into diverse assets (stocks, real estate, health, family time).Diversify your financial portfolio to buffer against unexpected industry downturns.Why I Still Recommend Network MarketingDespite the Modere closing, I firmly believe in network marketing’s value:Provides unmatched business education (selling, marketing, time management).Skills gained are highly transferable, beneficial for careers and businesses beyond network marketing.I passionately recommend network marketing to my children for these invaluable life and business skills.Final Thoughts: Resilience and GrowthI offer powerful encouragement for those affected by Modere’s closure:Leaders who built successful businesses can rebuild and often become stronger through adversity.Challenging times amplify personal and leadership growth, setting up future success.Network marketing residual income remains possible but requires adaptability, personal branding, and strategic financial management.Implementation always beats information alone. Take action today, and go positively impact someone’s life.

This week was the 10 year anniversary of MLM Nation's podcast and I want to thank you for listening.We launched in March 2015 with a mission to provide inspiring stories and valuable lessons from around the profession to help you achieve network marketing success.A lot has changed in the last 10 years but the profession is still around and new leaders are born everyday.This is a special anniversary episode to celebrate YOU and our profession.To make this episode special, I wanted to bring on Josie Tong, who's a successful leader and helped the launch of MLM Nation in 2015.Who is Josie TongJosie Tong is a multiple 6 figure earner who has made over 7 figures in lifetime commissions.She's a dear friend and has been featured on MLM Nation multiple times and lives in Sydney, Australia.🎙️ What We Talked About:In this special 10 year anniversary episode, Josie and I have a real, raw, and casual conversation.We talk about how MLM Nation got started (hint: it involves a flight to Australia), what was going through my head back in 2014, and the steps we took to get the podcast off the ground.Josie shares her perspective on how the show impacted her and her team during a very challenging time in her life.Over the years, she’s watched it grow into one of the longest-running, most consistent podcasts in the network marketing profession.💡 I Also Shared:Time flies. I share on this 10 year anniversary:• How the idea for MLM Nation came to me while flying to a workshop in Sydney• What it really takes to stay consistent after 845 episodes (and why I don’t always feel like doing it!)• The biggest mistakes I see network marketers make over and over again• Why duplication is a myth and what actually creates momentum• How I built a business that still pays me six figures a year in residual income• Why giving without expectation is the foundation of leadership• My thoughts on being a present dad, raising my boys, and building a legacy off the field✨ Special Moments from the Episode:• Josie cooking up one of my favorite Filipino dishes (salmon head sinigang!) and having it delivered to my hotel when I was in Australia• Our meetup at a flower garden café in Sydney back in 2014• Josie recalling how she supported the launch of MLM Nation during a time she was transitioning her life and career🧠 Top 5 Lessons From 10 Years of Interviews:I want to highlight the top 5 lessons that keep coming up on this 10 year anniversary show.1. Consistency is a skill.This is probably the most important lesson of all.Consistency is the #1 skillAnd it’s something I wish more people truly understood.People often say to me,“Simon, you’re so consistent. You show up every day. How do you do it?”And I always say the same thing.Consistency is not something you’re born with.It’s not a personality trait. It’s a skill. And like any skill, it can be developed.When I first started MLM Nation, I didn’t have it all figured out. I had fears. I had doubts.There were so many times when I wanted to quit.Even today, if I’m being honest, there are still days when I don’t feel like recording another episode or going live.But I do it anyway.Why?Because I’ve trained myself to be consistent.Consistency isn’t about feelings.It’s about making a commitment to the person you want to become.I don’t show up just because I feel like it.I show up because I want to be the kind of leader who shows up.That’s the secret.Start seeing yourself as a consistent leader.Then build a routine, create a system, and get accountability.If you do that, your results will catch up.The problem is, most people quit before the results show up.They stay stuck in the “I’ll do it when I feel like it” loop.And that’s a recipe for failure.Consistency is what separates the amateurs from the pros.2. All leaders invest in themselves.Every single successful person I’ve interviewed—without exception—has been a lifelong learner.They read.They attend events.They hire coaches.They join masterminds.They are always growing.And that includes Josie.She invested in coaching with me before she even had major results.That’s what impressed me so much about her.She didn’t wait until she had a big check to start acting like a leader.She made the decision to be one and started learning how to lead.That’s what top earners do.They invest in their growth before they’re at the top.They know that the greatest investment you can make is in yourself.There’s no shortcut here.No one’s going to come along and do the work for youIf you want to get better at closing, study closing.If you want to get better at content, study marketing.If your mindset needs work, study personal development.But you’ve got to do the work.If you’re not growing, you’re shrinking.So keep growing.3. Management mode kills momentum.This is one of the most common mistakes I see, especially with newer leaders.You recruit a few people, maybe hit a company incentive, and suddenly you start shifting into “management mode.”You stop prospecting.You stop inviting.You stop doing the basics.And instead, you spend all your time training your small team.I call this the kiss of death.Duplication doesn’t happen because you train people perfectly.It happens because you stay in production mode long enough to find your leaders.Let me say that again:You don’t build your business by training.You build it by recruiting.And guess what?Your team watches what you do more than they listen to what you say.If they see you stop recruiting, they’ll stop too.I’ve seen so many people plateau and even crash their income because they stopped doing what got them there.I made that mistake too in my early years.You recruit a few and think you’re done.But this business doesn’t reward the person who slows down.It rewards the person who keeps building.Stay in momentum. Stay in the trenches. Be the example.4. Your prospects are not the destination.This lesson is a game-changer.Most people look at prospects as the end goal.Like, “If I can just sign up John, I’ll be good. He’s the one.”But what if John isn’t the one?What if John is just the bridge to the person who is?This is where most people get it wrong.They give up when someone says no.But you’ve got to stop looking at prospects as the final stop and start seeing them as a gateway to your next opportunity.I’ve seen this happen over and over again.You talk to someone, they’re not interested, but then they refer you to someone else.Or they invite you to a party where you meet their friend.Or they share your post, and someone else sees it.The dots connect in ways you can’t predict.I remember talking to someone years ago who said no to the business.But she introduced me to someone else who ended up being one of the top producers on my team and it only happened because I stayed in the conversation, stayed curious, and kept giving value.Always remember this:You are never talking to just one person.You are talking to their entire network.So treat every prospect with care. Plant the seed. Keep the door open. You never know where it might lead.5. Purpose > MoneyIf you’re in this business just for the money, it’s going to be a rough ride.Yes, the money is great.But it’s not enough to keep you going when things get hard.And trust me, they will get hard.What keeps you going is purpose.It’s knowing why you’re doing this.It’s having a vision that’s bigger than the paycheck.For me, that purpose has always been tied to freedom.I wanted the freedom to be there for my kids.To coach them. To show up for the important moments.To break generational patterns. To be the dad I never had.That’s what drove me.And when you’re fueled by purpose, you’ll push through the rejections, the dry spells, the setbacks.You’ll do the hard things, the uncomfortable things, because you’re not just chasing a check—you’re chasing impact.Ask yourself this:What are you building this business for?Your answer to that question is your fuel.Let that purpose drive you every single day.🙏 Thank YouTo every guest who’s come on the show…To every listener who’s tuned in, shared, reviewed, or messaged me…To every leader who’s been part of this journey…Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.And Josie, thank you for being part of this journey since the very beginning—and for making this 10-Year Anniversary episode so meaningful.🔗 Resources and Mentions• Get My Free Network Marketing Guides• Grab My Book The Consistency Pill – Amazon Bestseller• Connect with Josie Tong – See Her Past InterviewsJosie Tong's Contact InfoJosie Tong on Facebook, InstagramSummaryLet this 10 year anniversary episode be a reminder:Be the leader people want to follow.Give without expecting anything in return.Show up.

Craig White described himself as a back packing beach bum who had tried everything before he got started in network marketing.Today he’s a multiple 6 figure earner with over 4500 customers and leads the Passion to Succeed movement. Who is Craig WhiteCraig White described himself as a back packing beach bum who had tried everything before he got started in network marketing.Today he’s a multiple 6 figure earner with over 4500 customers and leads the Passion to Succeed movement. Craig White's Journey Into Network MarketingCraig White was always chasing freedom.He never wanted to be stuck in a boring job and from a young age, he bounced around—washing dishes, working in nightclubs, selling fax paper (which, he admits, he was terrible at).No matter what he did, he never felt excited about work.So at 21 years old, Craig packed a bag, grabbed his surfboard, and traveled the world. He lived in Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, surfing and having the time of his life.But while sitting around a bonfire in Fiji, someone asked, “What are you going to do when you get home?”Out of nowhere, Craig said, “I’m going to start a network marketing business.”Even he was surprised by his answer.His parents had been in network marketing for years, but he always ignored them.Then, while in Australia, he saw his parents win a free trip from their business. It finally hit him—this thing actually works.In April 2001, Craig came home and went all in.The thought of going back to a 9-to-5 job scared him more than the fear of failing. He had nothing to lose, so he gave it everything he had.Craig White’s Tough Start and First BreakthroughLike most people, Craig made a lot of mistakes in the beginning.At first, he ignored his parents’ advice and tried to do it his way. After two weeks of struggle, he swallowed his pride and asked for help.That’s when everything changed.He focused on two things that shaped his success:1️⃣ Work harder than anyone else – He was willing to wake up early, work late, and push himself more than he ever did at a regular job.2️⃣ Always ask, “What’s next?” – After finishing one task, he didn’t stop. He immediately asked, “What do I need to do now?”His first big win came by accident. A guy named Ray joined his team out of the blue. Helping Ray succeed made Craig realize—I actually like this!Within seven weeks, Craig made £1,500 (more than he ever earned at a job). Then, out of nowhere, he got a call from the company:“Congratulations! You won a free trip to Rome!”He had no idea there was even a contest!Then they told him, “You can also qualify for a trip to Malaysia and Langkawi.”Craig didn’t hesitate. He asked, “What do I need to do?” and went all in.That mindset of never stopping is what made him successful.Craig White’s Biggest ChallengesCraig’s biggest struggle?Rejection!In August 2001, he did 63 one-on-one presentations in a single month. And guess what? Almost everyone said NO.After so many rejections, doubt started creeping in.👉 “Am I even good at this?”👉 “Does this really work?”👉 “Am I wasting my time?”But he didn’t quit.Then, in September, something crazy happened. He did 14 presentations—and 13 people joined.That experience taught him a huge lesson:✅ Rejection is part of the game. Most people quit right before they break through.Losing his Close FriendAnother tough moment? Losing his best friend.His childhood friend passed away in a motorcycle accident.It was heartbreaking but instead of quitting, Craig pushed forward harder.They had always dreamed of traveling the world and living free. Now, Craig was determined to make that dream real.Craig White’s Game-Changing Mindset ShiftCraig’s lightbulb moment happened at his first big event in June 2001.He ran into an old friend named Darren—who was now in a wheelchair after an accident.Darren had started network marketing two weeks after Craig… and was already as successful as Craig.That moment hit Craig hard.If Darren, in his situation, could do this, what was Craig’s excuse?That’s when he stopped making excuses and went all in.2 Big Lessons Craig's Mom Taught HimAnother game-changer came from his mom, his biggest mentor.She told him two things:1️⃣ “You’ll never make £10,000 a month with £500 worth of effort.”👉 Craig realized he needed to level up his work ethic.2️⃣ She tricked him into personal development.👉 His mentor recommended The Greatest Networker in the World by John Milton Fogg. Craig read it, and from that day forward, he became obsessed with learning and growing.Those two things—taking massive action and committing to learning—changed everything.The Million Dollar Question for Craig WhiteIf Craig had zero contacts but still had all his experience, here’s what he would do:1️⃣ Leverage Social Media to Attract People• Post about his life and journey, not just the business.• Engage with people by commenting and interacting.• Start conversations in a natural way.2️⃣ Talk to People Every Day• He keeps it super simple.• He asks people, “What do you do?”—because most will ask back.• When they do, he says, “I help people build online businesses and create financial freedom. You should take a look.”• If they show interest, he sends two short videos (a 3-minute overview and a 1-minute testimonial).This simple system would allow him to rebuild his business from scratch.Craig White’s Favorite Tools & ResourcesFavorite Success Quote“The biggest form of duplicating human excellence in the world is the art of mirroring. I believe as human beings, we are the true chameleons.” – Tony Robbins📖 Must-Read Books:The Greatest Networker in the World by John Milton FoggThe Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin SharmaThe Zen of MLM by John David Mann🎥 Favorite Prospecting Tool:• A 3-minute business overview• A 1-minute testimonial video📱 Favorite App:Captions – Helps create engaging videos with subtitles.Craig's Contact DetailsCraig White on Facebook, InstagramKey Lessons from Craig WhiteKey Lessons from Craig White’s Interview1️⃣ Work Ethic Beats Talent – Craig wasn’t the most experienced or skilled, but he was willing to outwork everyone. He sacrificed hobbies, late nights with friends, and even his love for football to go all in on his business.2️⃣ Rejection is Just a Test – He did 63 presentations in one month and got rejected over and over. But the next month? 13 out of 14 people joined. Most people quit right before they succeed.3️⃣ Personal Growth is the Shortcut to Success – Craig ignored personal development at first. But once he read The Greatest Networker in the World, he became obsessed with learning—and his results skyrocketed.4️⃣ Success Loves Speed – When Craig won his first free trip, he didn’t sit back and celebrate. He asked, “What do I need to do to win the next one?” Momentum is everything.5️⃣ You Get Paid to Help People Win – Craig’s biggest breakthrough came when he stopped focusing on what he could gain and instead focused on helping his team succeed.Your Action Steps✅ 1. Do More Than You Think is Necessary• Craig’s mom told him, “You won’t make £10,000 a month with £500 worth of effort.”• If you want massive success, take massive action—double your prospecting, double your follow-ups, and double your consistency.✅ 2. Build a Simple Prospecting System• Use Craig’s approach: Two short videos (a 3-minute overview + 1-minute testimonial).• Keep it natural—start conversations, ask questions, and let curiosity do the work.✅ 3. Invest in Yourself Every Day• Listen to a podcast or audiobook while working out.• Read at least 10 minutes every day.• Surround yourself with successful, driven people—you become who you spend time with.🔥 Take action today.

Future of Network Marketing After Major ChangesThe future of network marketing is changing.Over the past year, some big companies have moved away from the MLM model, and this has left many leaders scrambling and dreams vanished.Companies that were once seen as rock-solid have abandoned the network marketing structure, taking away downlines and residual incomes.Why the Future of Network Marketing Is Still GoodDespite this, network marketing is not going anywhere!People will always want more freedom, money, and more time with their families.Network marketing gives everyday people a chance to dream bigger and people will always want more in life so in this is the reason why the future of network marketing is good.Network marketing is about dreams and gives people hope but unfortunately it's not going to be easy.In this article, we’ll dive into why achieving network marketing success will be harder and what you need to do.Why the Future of Network Marketing Will Be Harder1.
