Dennis Wong: There’s no free ride in network marketing. However, the rewards of network marketing can be greater than just about any other career path.
Q: How so?
Dennis Wong: The great thing about network marketing is that it allows the average person an ability to create his or her own business.
Q: What’s the biggest perk of owning a business?
Dennis Wong: Entrepreneurs and business owners have the ability to lead a fairly autonomous lifestyle that other workers simply cannot have.
Q: It sounds like a great idea.
Dennis Wong: Mind you, this doesn’t mean ample free time and a magically growing bank account.

Sophia and Dennis Wong, YOR Health, and several of the company’s Athletic Advisors have been huge inspirations for me over the last four years. I was overweight, almost to the point of obesity, until I started using YOR Super Slim and walking 3 miles a day. I just want to say thank you and tell you how much I enjoy reading all of your articles and interviews. – Candy Alexander
Thank you. That means so much coming from one of our loyal customers. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
Network marketing is an extremely difficult business model and one that I never fully understood until attending events led by Dennis Wong. YOR Health makes it a lot easier by having products that actually work! I have been more successful sharing YOR Health than I ever was in the corporate world. It’s a wonderful feeling when your commute takes you to the gym and back every day. – Jeff Stevenson
Jeff, thank you so much for your kind words. Make sure to say hi the next time you’re at a conference. I always enjoy meeting our customers especially ones with your obvious passion. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
I have always longed for flexibility and wish I was brave enough to quit my day job. I am a people person at heart and really think I could be successful network marketing. “Their only limitation is the reality of the free market,” is an absolutely inspirational quote by Dennis Wong. YOR Health has empowered so many people and I have heard great things about the products. How can I get started? – Leanne Young
Leanne, you are brave, no matter what you think. It takes a lot of courage to take the first step toward doing something you love. If you’d like to get started, first take a look at our website, yorhealth.com. I wish you the best of luck although it sounds like you aren’t going to need it. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
Dennis Wong, YOR Health is a company that relies on network marketing. How do you continue to be successful when there are so many other companies that also sell health and nutrition products? – Michael McKinley
I believe that network marketing is why we are so successful. When you have a human network of people that utilize the products that they share, it’s very easy to demonstrate their effectiveness. We are not simply a company that sells a few products, we are a strong community of people from all walks of life working toward a common goal. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
What do you mean when you say that entrepreneurs have an autonomous lifestyle? – Martin G. Neal
When you work for yourself, you make your own schedule. You’re independent of the restraint set on you when someone else signs your paycheck. You don’t have to rely on a timeclock. An entrepreneur has the luxury and burden of determining the kind of lifestyle they want to live. There are so many people out there who believe that isn’t possible but I’m here to tell you that it absolutely is. It isn’t easy but I have never believed that things worth having are. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
I’m scared to death of talking to people. How do you open up a conversation and network with someone when you don’t know that you have anything in common? – Shauna Wall
Shauna, it can be scary at first. However, I have found that with YOR Health, people would approach me and ask me what I was doing to get in shape. That’s usually how it works with our Independent Representatives. I have heard countless stories of customers making a successful career for themselves by essentially answering questions from people at the gym wanting to know their secret. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
Dennis Wong, YOR Health is amazing…thank you for sharing it with us in Australia. I just have one question: How exactly do you establish mutually beneficial relationships? – Heather Natera
It’s pretty simple, really. When you find someone you relate to both personally and professionally you can help each other out. For example, if you are a baker and you move next door to a farm, the farm can supply you with all fresh eggs that you need for your confections and you, in turn, can guarantee a steady income stream for the farmer. The farmer may give your information to a miller from whom you can buy your flour. If you like his flour, you may tell your baker friends. It’s all about opening up an initial conversation. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
I have always thought that network marketing was just too hard. It seems like it would be much easier to work for someone else and let them hash out all of the financial and professional details. – Sean Lines
Sean – I can’t deny that sometimes working for other people is, in fact, easier. However, when you have the right network – and the proper mindset – it’s very liberating to leave performance evaluations behind forever and measure your success as it happens. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
Do all businesses thrive on a network marketing model? – Jeremy Traughber
Jeremy, I don’t think it’s a business model for every type of business. I think it has to be something that people are truly interested in and something that has a positive impact on their community that they can get behind and be proud of. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
You say that a leader must know their strengths and weaknesses but what other traits should they possess? – Victoria Newson
A leader must not only know where they are strong and where they are weak but they must have the courage to admit it. A good leader is one who accepts responsibility for his or her team and understands that success is directly related to motivation. – Dennis Wong, YOR Health
