A Review of Global Resorts Network - GRN

One of these companies is Global Resorts Network, or GRN. The question is, does GRN actually work, or is it another "promise the earth, deliver nothing" kind of opportunities? A little bit of both, actually.

The way that Global Resorts Network works is by offering high-end vacations at extremely low-end prices. For example, say someone wants to holiday in the Caribbean and it might cost ,000 - that same vacation can be had through GRN. However, this is just the vacation price benefit - the real deal comes with becoming an affiliate rep, selling the membership that offers these discounted vacations.

To become a rep at GRN, you pay a one-off lifetime membership fee of just under ,000, which then entitles you to buy unlimited discounted vacations at the resorts in question. And with even the top resorts costing no more that 0 to stay at for a week, you can see how this benefits the buyer.

Once you're a member, you can then go on to sell the same membership onto friends, colleagues, business leads - anyone, basically, in order to build your little business venture up. And with vacations being one of the constant things in anyone's life, you can see where the potential for extra income comes from.

When you sign up a new member underneath you, you receive ,000 from their membership fees in commission. On top of that, you also receive another ,000 "roll-up commission" on each one of their sales - for life. So the potential is definitely there to make a solid residual income for as long as you're a member of the Global Resorts Network.

The really good news about GRN is that, so far, it seems to be a genuinely good opportunity for the average person to make a financial difference in their life. Even if you only manage to sign up 4-5 of your friends or family, you'll receive a nice bonus to put toward your own discounted vacations.

To date, there have also been no complaints about the way that GRN works to any of the consumer websites such as ConsumerAffairs.com and similar. So is GRN that diamond amongst the rough, in that there are no setbacks to it at all? Not quite.

Although GRN has what appears to be an excellent product and business opportunity, it's not really geared to supporting that with extensive marketing. Instead, what is recommended is that you sign up with something along the lines of the Reverse Funnel System, if you're serious about generating leads for your business. The problem here is that the RFS costs add considerably to what you've already paid.

An average -4,000 to get a good database, coupled with an average 0 per month for training and marketing costs, make the RFS an expensive way to succeed to any great level with Global Resorts Network. However, if you can afford that expense and wish to join a business where you can make some great returns, then GRN is definitely one of the better options out there.

Book Review - "The Fate of Africa" by Martin Meredith

Today's African nations were greatly shaped by the the post-colonial experience of the African continent. Even fifty years after independence, complex issues and overriding themes of afro-marxism, independence, nationalism, and big man rule remain prevalent and pervasive. The Fate of Africa: A History of Fifty Years of Independence, Martin Meredith's historical account of the experiences of the African continent, deals with the issues nation-by-nation, while still tying themes together by leaders and over time.

african mango plus

One of the best-written non-fiction accounts of modern African history, The Fate of Africa delves deep into the personalities of nationalist leaders and into the logic behind the sweeping movements of afro-marxism that were seen throughout the continent. Recalling the politics and policies of leaders such as Nyerere and Mugabe, and the ramifications of various types of leaders, Meredith shows the patterns and pitfalls of commonly-adopted policies, borrowing practices, and post-colonial reactions.

Compelling and gripping, this piece of non-fiction stands out as a definitive history of Africa with little political opinion. Meredith does not offer up solutions to the problems that plague the continent, but instead merely points out that these problems exist, and that they exist to a more extreme degree in Africa than in other nations gaining independence around the same time.

Two exceptionally well-written books with diverging opinions on what should be done are George Ayittey's Africa Unchained: The Blueprint for Africa's Future, which calls for better governance before more foreign aid, and Goran Hyden's African Politics in Comparative Perspective, commonly assigned as classroom reading, which makes a more Marxist argument about the issues of Africa. From two very different perspectives, these books offer the solutions that Meredith avoids.

Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Africa, social work, political, racial, or post-colonial issues, The Fate of Africa: A History of Fifty Years of Independence will not disappoint. Although void of a solution, the book recounts a history that points to its own solutions. Meredith allows the past to speak for itself.
