(July 09, 2010) – James Ridinger, President and CEO of Market America, an Internet Marketing and Product Brokerage company that specializes in One-to-One Marketing was recently featured on the Career Confessions Blog, discussing the company mission, the drive of an entrepreneur and the astounding growth of Market America. http://careerconfessions.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/president-ceo-jr-ridinger/. James Ridinger began pursuing the entrepreneurial dream right after college. Ridinger’s forward thinking and desires to become a successful entrepreneur led to the development of Market America, as well as the personal drive to help others create a residual income and achieve their dreams. “If business was easy, everyone would be a success. The truth of the matter is most people don’t establish firm goals and of those that do, many are not passionate enough to ensure accomplishing them nor do they have a vehicle to take them there,” said Ridinger. “The key is taking action based on specific plans designed to incrementally reach your goals which must fueled by a burning desire within you,” said Ridinger. Market America’s business model rewards more than 180,000 hardworking, independent business owners, more than 300 of whom have become millionaires, through the company’s proven business plan. The company employs more than 550 employees and currently has operations in six countries. In a time of economic uncertainty, Ridinger has leveraged Market America (www.marketamerica.com) into a recession-proof business by offering in-demand, market-driven products through the company’s exclusive lines and millions of other items via the company’s online partner stores. Built on product, powered by people®, Market America is the ultimate online shopping destination where customers get paid to shop. James Ridinger is passionate about social media and integrates it into his personal blog, “Beingjrridinger: inside the mind of an internet mogul.” Here Ridinger shares the vision, dreams and inspires entrepreneurs to achieve ultimate success. (www.beingjrridinger.com). “If you want to be successful, identify a paradigm shifting trend or concept and lead the parade rather than getting in at the tail end of the parade!

What really sets our business apart is our
community of economically-connected entrepreneurs, who earn money from
virtually everything everybody purchases. Wal-Mart
doesn’t have the network or the people power that we do. To put our
business model into perspective, if Wal-Mart followed our plan and paid
their customers to shop, they would pay out over 43 billion dollars in
commissions!
If you think that’s amazing, check out this out. It will boggle your mind, and probably scare you as well!!!
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of every day at Wal-Mart.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1st to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer, and most can't speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains filed for bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approximately 3,900 stores in
the USA, of which 1,906 are Super Centers - this is 1,000 more than it
had 5 years ago.
11. This year, 7.2 billion different
purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store. (The world
population is approximately 6.8 billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.
13. The value of product for Wal-Mart
passing through the port of San Diego each year is a larger sum than 93%
of ALL countries Gross National Product (GNP). Keep in mind; this is
just one port, and one way in which Wal-Mart receives the goods they
sell.
14. Of the 1.6 million employees, only 1.2% make a living above the poverty level.
15. Wal-Mart's head office is located in Bentonville, Arkansas. Due to this fact, there are more millionaires per square mile there than any place on Earth.
16. The official U.S. Government position is that
Wal-Mart's prices are no lower than anyone else's when compared to a
typical family’s weekly purchases. That's the view of the statisticians
at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) responsible for calculating
the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
17. 92% of everything Wal-Mart sells comes from China. Another 4% comes from Chinese-owned companies in the U.S. or in other countries.
18. Wal-Mart and MOST large companies, take out
life insurance on its employees, without their knowing. If an employee
dies, ALL of this insurance money goes to the company. If an employee
making $18,000 per year dies, the company might make as much as $1
million. Most often this money, coming from what is commonly referred to
as “Dead Peasant Life Insurance Policies”, is paid out to executives as
bonuses (a common practice unknown by the average consumer).
19. Wal-Mart now averages a "profit" (not sales) of $36 billion per year.
20. Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street. If not, consider shopping someplace else.
If we closed all the Wal-Mart stores would China go bankrupt?
