Orrin Woodward of Team - A "Big-Business" Owner
Just can't get away from the Robert Kiyosaki book "The Business School for People Who Like Helping People".

Here's a quote from Page 17 which begins to uncover the secrets of the 11th way to become rich.

Kiyosaki writes: "Before moving on to the eleventh way of becoming rich, I want to discuss the difference between a small-business owner and a big-business owner. The difference is that big-business people build networks. The world is filled with small-business owners who own restaurants. The difference between a single-restaurant owner and Ray Kroc, who founded McDonalds, is that McDonalds is a network of hamburger restaurants known as a franchise network.

Another example, in contrast, is a small-business owner who owns a television repair shop as opposed to Ted Turner, who built CNN, which stands for Cable News Network. Again, notice the word network. The point is that the difference between a small-business owner and a big-business owner is simply the size of their network. While many small-business owners own businesses, very few business owners build networks.

Simply put, building a business network is how the richest people in the world became rich."

This is what Orrin Woodward was trying to get me to see several years ago, when I owned an eponymously named, very successful Engineering Consulting business. To be honest, my ego was too big to really face the fact that I was a small-business owner. After all, I made "a lot" of money. HA!

My how your perspective changes when you get down off your high horse long enough to take a look! Of course I know a lot of people who'd rather have the ego than the results.

Orrin wanted me to consider building a business network and you know, I almost said "No thanks." Would have been the biggest mistake of my life. I can tell you this. Since I've been working with Orrin Woodward my life has never been better - in every aspect.

Orrin is a man on a mission, and he has put in place a big-business system that gives anybody with guts and some hunger a chance to own a truly BIG business. Thanks Orrin, for making a difference.
