MLM – Network Marketing Training – Personal Empowerment – Social Media Marketing – Authentic-Networker.com|Keith O'Brien

I love network marketing.  I think it’s an amazing industry that supports a return to our core desires to become independent, self-supporting entrepreneurs.  I believe it represents one of the purest forms of free market economy and anyone, from anywhere, with any background has an equal shot of creating a substantial business with the possibility of retire-able residual income.

With that said, over 17 years of being around the industry, I have seen a lot of things I haven’t liked very much.  I have seen far too many people confuse the “fake it till you make it” concept with flat out lying.  I have seen manipulation at incredible rates and people believing just a little too much in their story (often which isn’t entirely true).

I have seen so many people live by this delusion that they deserve a massive check just because they sign a distributor app.  It doesn’t work that way.

Authentic-Networker.com is a space to bring together real world training in personal development, online marketing, social media/networking in a completely authentic, usable and powerful way so that people can plug in and get the training and education they deserve.

It’s a community of people who are committed to being authentic in both business and our personal lives regardless of circumstance.  It’s a call to action to identify and discover your values and play a big game in life through those exact values.

I am an author, speaker, trainer, coach & social entrepreneur. I have been in two industries for the bulk of my life. Network Marketing and Personal Development. I have created some great projects in both.

I have been around network marketing for 17 years and actively built businesses for 7 of those. I’ve earned nearly 1.5 million in commissions and have built global teams using both online and offline strategies.

Over the last decade, I founded FuturePoint – a South Florida based non-profit youth empowerment organization that provides transformational trainings to high school and college students. We worked with over 12,000 students with some phenomenal results. Lives were changed forever…including mine.

My current focus is on training people to develop online lead generation through personal branding, attraction marketing and inner game success strategies.

I am a single Dad and my son is the most powerful mentor I know.
