Derek Hawkins is a man of faith, family, and purpose. His story showcases the strength and potential of Network Marketing as a mode for professional and personal development. From being an engineer to leading Network Marketing teams, he has exemplified how people could be persistent and adaptable. Dedicated and with various strategies, Hawkins has therefore achieved professional success and empowered many individuals to pursue their goals.

From Engineer to Network Marketing Advocate

Derek Hawkins was an engineer for several years, enjoying great success in this stable income field. However, he knew this profession didn’t bring him the scope for wealth accumulation and made him less accessible for a lifestyle. Hawkins’s neighbour introduced him to Network Marketing in search of an alternative.

This marked the turning point of Hawkins’ life. The concept of leverage leapt into his mind—a principle applied in Network Marketing that would enable people to earn beyond the confines of a traditional employed body. He saw a potential vehicle for those seeking more in a profession. He grasped this opportunity and plunged himself into the industry, which gave him firsthand insights into leadership and marketing.

While the transition from engineering to Network Marketing was not without challenges, Hawkins credits his technical background with giving him a systematic approach to problem-solving.

The Personal Development Aspect of Network Marketing

Hawkins sees Network Marketing as a business model and a tool for personal growth. Through this prism, he has learned to be a more effective leader, develop a better appreciation for marketing, and hone his mentoring skills. These experiences have taught him the value of empathy, humility, and service sensitivities in interaction with others.

Hawkins builds trust and mutual respect by relating to people from all walks of life. He motivates others to tap into their potential by mentoring and guiding them according to their needs. He reminds them that most Network Marketers succeed because they are dedicated learners and team players.

Hawkins adds that Network Marketing also presents an excellent opportunity for individuals to enhance communication, time management, and goal-setting skills, which can help translate into positive work lives beyond the business itself.

Adapting and Innovating in Network Marketing

In a dynamic industry like Network Marketing, adaptability and innovation are essential. Hawkins stresses the importance of listening and connecting with people to better understand their needs. Hence, he adapts his approach to illustrate his points on meaningful opportunities through Network Marketing for those who put in the effort.

One of them includes branding. Hawkins was influenced by Eric Worre’s Go Pro Branding Challenge always to give a message of authenticity with his branding. He advises his audience on the importance of focusing on one niche and dominating one social media site to be true to their personal brand. A mantra in his existence is ‘Be loud, be visible, be authentic.’

Hawkins also values continued learning. He engages in professional development and keeps himself updated on industry trends. This authentic approach, which always updates itself, makes Hawkins a trustworthy leader in Network Marketing.

Core Values Shaping a Purpose-Driven Career

Values such as integrity, honesty, humility, compassion, and service form the foundation of Hawkins’ work. These values guide his efforts to connect with diverse personality types and help people achieve their goals. He believes in creating an environment that fosters growth and mutual success.

As a Certified John Maxwell Team Member, Distinguished Toastmaster, and an ordained Deacon, Hawkins brings his leadership skills to all his business and community work. His roles as Men’s Leader at the church and Vice President at the New Garden State Jurisdiction of COGIC ministries reflect broader commitments to service.

According to Hawkins, the principles of service and integrity are the focus of long-term success in Network Marketing and in life. His emphasis on fairness and respect builds trust within his team and engenders a collaborative culture.

Success Beyond Finances: A Holistic Approach

For Hawkins, success goes way beyond monetary accomplishments. He hopes to help people enhance their lives – literally, financially, emotionally, and mentally. He tries to end health issues and lack of financial literacy in deprived communities by working towards improving them.

He also emphasizes the importance of achieving realistic goals. He counsels mentees to pursue incremental progress rather than overnight success, which reduces pressure and promotes sustainable growth.

The accurate measure of his influence lies in the thanks of those he has mentored. Hawkins believes that one’s wealth is measured, rather than in terms of money, by the growth and movement of others. He encourages a holistic path to success, encompassing spiritual and emotional attainment.
