Network Marketing: The Untold Truth

Inside the Book

7 chapters. Zero hype.
Just the truth.

Chapter 1–2

What it is — and what it isn't

The history, the business model, how compensation plans actually work, and the 4 types of companies — from 80/20 customer focus to pure scams.

Chapter 3

Common objections — answered honestly

"People at the top get rich." "It's a pyramid scheme." "Only 1% make money." Every objection addressed with facts, not sales tactics.

Chapter 4–5

A closer look + the "experts"

What the critics get right, what they get wrong, and why most "experts" writing about this industry have never actually been in it.

Chapter 6–7

The alternatives + doing it right

What are your real options? And if you do choose this path — what does "doing it well" actually look like? A checklist for getting started right.

The Journey

From CNC operator
to living on my own terms

1

The Factory Floor

Three years of vocational school, then a CNC machine operator. Got bored after 2 weeks. Lasted 5 years before walking away.

2

The Debt Mountain

Tried to become an entrepreneur without the right system. Built a mountain of debt because I wasn't fully committed.

3

The Mentor

Found the right mentor who taught me the fundamentals. Stopped overthinking and started DOING. That changed everything.

4

Freedom

850 partners, 15,000 customers, and full freedom to work when and where I want. That's the result of two decades of showing up.

You'll never know if you want to do it unless you try. That's why the ones who start — win.

About Patric

From a kid with no plan
to full-time entrepreneur

I was the introverted kid in school, daydreaming in the back of the classroom. I didn't read books. While my classmates knew exactly what they wanted to do — I had no idea.

I ended up as a factory worker. Three years of vocational training, then a CNC machine operator. When I looked ahead, I saw 40 years until retirement. That wasn't a life — it was a sentence.

Over the past 20 years, I've worked full-time coaching and training people to go from thinking to doing. Together with my co-author Rolf Hjelm, we bring over 50 years of combined experience — 25,000 customers and 1,500 partners between us.

One of my strongest motivations is creating value for others — that's why we wrote this book.
