Biography

Marc L. Barrett

For me it’s all about freedom........

My entrepreneurial journey started many years ago with the thought that there were way to many exciting and fun things to do in life to have to spend most of your time just earning a living.

When I grew up in Miami, FL,  I loved the ocean and diving and dreamed of traveling the world and being a treasure hunter like the great Mel Fischer. So I quit college and went to diving school to become a commercial diver. That of course was just another version of the 40 year plan but underwater.

Interesting start to say the least, and that thought, along with a degree in Psychology, which qualified me for nothing but minimum wage, set the stage for what was to come.

My first true career was mastering the art of leverage in real estate by putting together large partnerships that owned apartment projects. I started at 22 and by the time I was 29 I was almost retired and then ….. oops!! The economy in the early 80’s crashed and took me down with it. 

Darn I was so close too!

Then discovered the true art of leverage in the MLM industry where I joined an early stage company, developed some very powerful mass marketing and lead generation systems and within 2 years I had complete financial freedom once again.

I have had many businesses since then but none even comes close to the reward you can achieve in a network marketing business. It is a world of challenge, personal development, achievement, friendship, mentorship, and incredible reward. It is a true win-win business model where you can only achieve if you help others to excel. What an incredible industry…..

I became a 7 figure income earner in network marketing because I learned the lesson of working the numbers and using automated marketing systems that allowed me to tap into huge segments of the market and flood my business with buyers not lookers.

Marc has extensive business background in international marketing of consumer products, development of sales and marketing organizations, real estate development, and investments.

During the 17 years he was with that company he reached top distributor ranking, and achieved Team Elite designation within the first 3 years. He was later awarded "The Millionaires Circle" designation when he had achieved an income of over $1 million dollars.  

During that time he was known for his extensive training and marketing expertise which enabled him to develop a sales team of over 20,000 representatives and earn over several million dollars in commissions with the company. 

After retiring from active involvement he worked with several other network marketing companies as a lead distributor and developed large organizations for each of them. He also served as advisor on the Presidential Advisory and Product Advisory boards of several network marketing companies.
