Robert Butwin’s goal in life is to be a no-limit person. After hearing Wayne Dyer’s tape, No Limit Person, Robert realized that he had been creating limits in his life. “I’ve tried to become a no limit person. It started me on the path of what I’ve become today.”

Robert went into business for himself after realizing that Corporate America would not allow him to live the kind of live he wanted. “There are so many limitations. They expected you to work so many hours per week and handle a lot of politics which I didn’t like, so I started searching for an alternative way to have the freedom I wanted, a career that would enable me to experience life the way I wanted to live.

He is well on the way to realizing his goal, having been named Distributor of the Year from MLMIA for two straight years. He says that one of his heroes is John Glenn who inspired him by going into space at his age. Another no limit person.

Robert’s path in Network Marketing has not always been easy. When he first started in this business, he went all out but lacked the proper mentorship to become successful. The net result was a lot of debt, six figures in fact. But Robert did not set limits on himself or give up on his dream. “I never gave up on the vision of the kind of lifestyle I could live through this business. … Four years later, after finding the right kind of mentorship, I was able to clear up all my debts and walk away from my job and devote full time to my career in network marketing.”

Having the right support system in place is crucial to success in any business. As shown in the career of Robert Butwin, it made all the difference in his level of success.

He says that the best thing about being self-employed is that he gets to make his own decisions. “The people I meet and work with are a joy and the differences I’m able to make in their lives is the greatest pleasure imaginable. I am able to make a difference in a lot of people’s lives.”

Robert has written a book called Street Smart Networking. He has also released two tapes: Getting Started in your Networking Business and The Secrets of the Money Funnel and How it Can Make You Rich. All are available through his office, and the book may also be purchased at bookstores.
