We've recently celebrated Father's Day in many parts of the world and it's certainly a time that we pause and reflect on the male role models in our lives and those we choose to have partnerships and relationships with nowadays. I'm grateful for some incredible career mentors who are still in my life today and of course my business mentors and friends that I've worked with more recently through Prosperity Of Life.


I also love that in the industry of Personal Development it is not a Big Boys Club or a Women Only environment. We have such a great community of both men and women and there is a trend happening that is exciting to see. More men are now exploring direct sales for guys and discovering business models that genuinely fit the lifestyle they want to create.


A lot of men today are exploring direct sales jobs from home as they look for more flexible ways to create income. If you're ready to explore a high profit, high ticket solution and here directly from a guy who completely transofmred the way he earns a living check out this video and article featuring Myles Forsyth and Rachel Krider.

Why Direct Sales for Guys Is Growing Fast

According to recent stats, about 75 percent of Distributors or Associates in Direct Sales are women. Based on typical product lines being more female oriented, such as health and wellbeing, cosmetics and household essentials, it has been a natural path for women to follow. Combined with the fact that the industry offers flexibility to work around raising a family, this has made sense for decades.


However, the scales are starting to tip for a few very good reasons.



Why More Men Are Exploring Direct Sales for Guys


Our new generation of men are very different thinkers to their fathers and grandfathers. They are less traditional and more present with their families. They are prioritising time freedom. Many young men coming out of school or university are not able to find work in their chosen career path. They are also more tech savvy, more marketing savvy and more open to the opportunities that exist in direct sales companies for guys.

The Real Reasons Men Are Returning to Direct Sales

Throughout the COVID pandemic the world's Executive Men were home based, like so many women have been for years, and it created an opportunity to see the benefits of a working life outside of the office. Targets were met, global meetings were held and new products were launched from home offices. This has contributed to the upward spike in the number of men choosing to start a business in the Direct Sales industry.


In fact, in the last 3 months alone, our rate of gents launching their business with Prosperity Of Life is at an impressive 40 percent.

The Direct Sales industry initially found its feet with men pounding the pavement and knocking on doors selling vacuums, encyclopedias and household products. With most of the customers being women, product lines evolved to offer items that women would buy for themselves. Perfumes and makeup were introduced and entire companies were launched. Consumers became sellers and women found their way into Direct Sales.


Still to this day it is more common for men to see themselves going into business than women. Sixty percent of men say they would like to start their own business while only forty three percent of women say the same. Despite this, the home business and network marketing industry is still largely populated by women.

Men are looking for more flexibility for

family life, more enjoyment in retirement and there is a greater awareness of wellbeing. Ageism in the corporate world is also a real factor. Check out this recent interview with Michael Berry, one of Prosperity Of Life's top distributors and Advisory Board Members. Michael was a high paid CEO in the USA who was managed out during a corporate restructure. What he later discovered was that age had played a role. This is not an uncommon story for both male and female executives.
