Mike's heart-felt desire to maximize the potential for success for all of his members is expressed in his vast support structure and support strategy. Understanding the key role that support plays in the success of grassroots marketers, since 1975 Mike has invested more than 60% of his income into supporting his downline partners. Mike has distributors that have been with him for two and three decades. He has the greatest overall retention rate in the industry. Mike has helped thousands of distributors achieve success throughout his career of more than three decades! Building Internationally As we develop a support structure in these International markets, you will have the time tested wisdom, the marketing philosophy, and the long-range strategy to build a secure and lasting success that will produce a residual income for the rest of your life. Check out these advantages!
No one in the world does all that we do! Ask yourself what the following statements can mean to your success! Money Maker's Monthly, July 2001: Money N' Profits, May 1998: Cutting Edge Magazine, Oct 1999: Money Maker's Monthly, June 1999:
"A greater number of people achieve success when this success is built on an accurate marketing philosophy, effective strategies, adequate training and support and when leaders invest themselves into the lives of the team members that are, in part, responsible for their success." - Mike Akins Mike was reared in poverty and touched by a number of tragedies. He began his career in 1967 at the age of nineteen. During the first eight years of his network marketing career, he worked night and day, following all of the traditional training in the industry. Although Mike achieved great success, he was not satisfied with the percentage of grassroots distributors that were able to follow him in this quest. Mike took some time to analyze the industry.
There are reasons for this paradox. In the network marketing industry you are expected to be a proprietor, salesperson (not traditional sales but you are still sharing something with someone), an expert in relationships, an effective leader, an effective follower, a troubleshooter, and an effective communicator. You are expected to be all of this while, at the same time, you take care of your family and hold down a full-time job. To make things worse, there was very little training available to help the grassroots distributor master these areas. What other industry expects you to be all of these
things without providing a statistical base, effective training, and
practical support? Every other industry trains you in the skills that
you need to be successful. In this industry the
majority of training is motivational in nature. You
are led to believe that if you want it bad enough, work hard enough,
and stay motivated enough, you will make it. That is simply not true in
the majority of cases.
Mike drew from his conventional life experiences as a successful businessman, employer, mid-level manager, counselor, minister, humanitarian, teacher, martial arts practitioner, athlete, and a man that had "lived" 50 years over a 10-year period. Mike set himself on a quest to bring to this industry the degree of information and support that one could expect from other billion-dollar industries. From Mike's search for answers came what is now a
legacy in this industry. Mike is often shunned by the hierarchy but is
considered a hero by the great number of grassroots distributors that
have followed his marketing philosophy and strategies to success. Mike
made a commitment in 1975 that he would invest 60% of his income back
into supporting the grassroots distributors. In 1975 he formed
Professional Networkers, a full-time staff of experienced consultants
to train and service his downline partners. Over the years this staff
has grown to 30-plus full-time networkers. Can you image the impact of
having 30-plus experienced leaders focused on assisting each and every
member of your organization?
Many of Mike's peers in this industry ask him why
he has invested millions of dollars back into his distributor base.
They say this is not necessary. When Mike observes how many grassroots
distributors and upcoming leaders drop out of their programs
due to a lack of training and support,
he is convinced that he has been and is on the right track. Let's look at what Mike and his staff can do for your future. Provide Security! When you align yourself with Mike, you can be sure you have selected the very best plan in the industry. Let me explain. Mike achieved such success that when he was 41 years old he retired to pursue humanitarian causes. His staff serviced his downlines while he was in retirement. At the age of 48, Mike desired to do more in the humanitarian arena. In order to accomplish this, he came out of retirement to increase his annual income to $10 million. He wanted to make sure that this residual income would be there for his cause in three decades as his [then] present residual income had been there for him for the past three decades.
What does this mean to you? For once you can join a program that was selected scientifically. You can build with confidence that this program is one of the very best programs in the world and will be around for your retirement.

Professional Networkers is a
phenomenon in network marketing that has never been
paralleled anywhere in the world. While many other leaders in
the industry have experienced a roller coaster ride of ups and downs,
Mike has experienced consistent success for three decades. The
key to his success is his marketing philosophy and strategy in building
solid organizations. During Mike's three-decade plus career
he has developed five organizations that still exist today. The 4Life
opportunity is Mike's last quest in this industry.
Mike's reply to the
question, "What constitutes the greatest networker
in the world?" gives insight into why he is able to
help so many people achieve success. "The greatest network marketer in
the world may not be the highest-paid marketer.
He will select a program that
benefits the majority of participants and will sacrifice
a degree of personal gain for a more balanced reward for a greater
number of people. The leader will forgo quick
personal success for long-term and solid success
for his distributors. A true leader will take the time to learn the
dynamics of a program at the grassroots level, from the part-timer's
perspective. That is where the majority of network marketers begin
their journey. The greatest network marketer in the world will reinvest
a sizable percentage of his income into supporting and training his
downline partners. He is one that realizes that true
success is a team achievement and not personal magic."
- Mike Akins. 
Let me share a
little information about Mike and Professional Networkers so you will
understand why this could be your best chance to achieve your full
potential in this industry.
What he found was a paradox.
Network marketing provides an unlimited opportunity for anyone from any
walk of life to break from superficial boundaries, and find their
personal quest in life. On the other hand, he found that only a very
small percentage of people actually get there. Mike
became tired of watching marketers work their hearts out only to find
themselves "spinning their wheels." 
It was vital for him to make
the right selection. Mike financed the most
extensive study ever conducted on the network marketing industry.
An independent research and marketing firm studied 40 years
of network marketing history. They examined more than 300
programs. Genealogies containing information on two million
marketers were carefully studied. Statistics on sponsoring trends,
purchasing habits, attrition rates, marketing philosophies, systems,
tools, growth waves and strategies were gathered. This research project
required three and one half years to complete. Based on this study,
Mike and his team selected six programs to test-market. Twenty-five
thousand networkers were enrolled into these programs. 4Life was
selected as the #1 program in the world and the vehicle to complete his
quest. You can read more on this study on our
When Mike joined
4Life he decided he would not begin by enrolling heavy hitters. He
wanted to understand the dynamics of this particular program from a
grassroots perspective. He decided that he would first build his
business with grassroots distributors just like the average person
coming into the program. He pledged to himself that he would not
personally enroll heavy hitters until he achieved Double International
status with more than 50,000 LP within his first three levels and more
than one million dollars throughout his organization. Mike achieved
this within 18 months after joining 4Life. Mike has gone on to become a
Gold International Diamond. Only a handful of leaders have achieved
this recognition level. This, of course, conveys teamwork and growth
throughout his organization at the grassroots level as well as at the
top pin levels. You can be a part of this phenomenon.
It is my heart's
desire to create a true opportunity for the greatest possible number of
team members. I consider my downline partners as part of my marketing
family. I have experienced how network marketing has provided me with
the finances and time to spend my life working with my wife, spending
more time with my children, and focusing on the more important things
of life. It is my deepest desire to provide thousands of other people
with the opportunity to do the same. Network marketing is only a
vehicle for me to achieve my goal of earning $10 million per year so
that I can broaden my humanitarian involvement. I have chosen an avenue
that allows me to develop my success on the successes of a greater
number of friends and team players. In order for me to earn $10 million
per year, I will have to assist a few friends in earning millions, many
more earning thousands, and even more earning hundreds, while providing
products that will enhance the lives of tens of thousands of others. I
invite you to join me in this quest. - Mike Akins
