A Gentle Giant in the MLM Industry Has Passed. As a consultant in the MLM industry, I’ve worked with many company owners, but Bob was my most fascinating client. At one time, Bob operated one of the top 10 largest MLM companies with a well-known colloidal silver product.
Many entrepreneurs have ups and downs, and Bob was no different, but in his 30-plus-years of operating network marketing companies, he never once missed a commission payment to any of his distributors. I always found this impressive. In an industry stacked with scammers, Bob brought his ethics and love of God and man into his business.
Bob was a client, a mentor, and a friend, and not necessarily in that order. Bob loved building businesses and relations, and when a great idea came about, he would light up like a kid in a candy store. Although he was 20-plus-years my senior, with his boundless energy and kid-like wonder, I often felt like I was speaking with someone my own age or younger, instead of like with one of my parents’ friends. In fact, Bob was actually very fit and healthy, and we all thought that he would outlive all of us.
I will miss my weekly calls and texts with Bob… discussing anything from politics, his grandchildren’s sporting events, to the latest products and technology in network marketing.
His family has lost a great husband, dad, grandfather, I’ve lost a friend, the industry has lost a great leader, and the world has lost a kind gentle-man who’s contributed so much to society.
