HOME BASED BUSINESS SECRETS TO SUCCEED

Are You Suffering From Excusitis?

2011-11-29T09:36:00.000-08:00

This is my absolute favrite chapter in this philosophy,I remember back in 2008 when I started to read thsi book and thought how easy it be to implement all of these chapters into my life,I was in for a major wakeup call.
In 2009 I had started a business with another company I knew what I had to do but yet wasn't doing it,I also had a sales job that paid commision,you don't sell you don't eat,yet I wasn't doing what I needed to do,finally in a ac of desperation,i quit the job and business and decided to go into the trucking industry,IA gave up my apt,packed my bags and left.
After a week with the compsny a mixup in paperwork,I was disqualified from the school,then reality set in,i was homeless I had nowhere to go,I desperatly called my family who for some reason weren't very enthused about opening there doors to me.
In the end my mother and my stepdad,let me stay with them,so I flew back to Puerto Rico for a few months I was told I couldn't stay long so after 2 months my brother volunteered to let me stay with him.For some reason I had a bad feeling about being overthere,my brother constantly complained about having taken a hit on money because I was there,
His wife complained that it wasn't fair either,so they had me doing all the chores around the house,on top of that I was sleeping on the floor on an airmatress and starving because they had no food for me to eat.after 1 week my brother and his wifr kicked me out of the house because I had offened his wife,accordoing to her.
So it was back to PR to live with my mom and stepdad,I didn't know what to do,i just knew I wanted to have my own NM business,a few months down the line I came upon a gentleman named Ben who sent me a link to a free ebook from MFF,I read the book in 2 hours got back to him and even had a coaching call with Michael Dloughy himself.
I was ready to join but how I had no money no job nothing I used to spend my days on youtube listening to Dr Wayne Dyer and Napolean Hill developing myself praying that somehow I would find a way out of this finally after months of trying I managed to get some money and move to NYC I had no one to stay with so I went to a homeless shelter.
If I sat here and told you what an experience that was you'd never believe me,but I got a job and found an apt,(cockroach infested),but it was mine and more importantly after 14 months I was able to start my business.I've had a lot of growing pains this year with the business too taking my eyes off the ball a few times,but got right back up and kept going.
I'm very proud to say that not only did I start my business,but a few weeks ago was able to attend the convention cruise and meet all the wonderfull leaders like Michael and Linda,Sarah Thompson,I even stood guard duty with Big Al himself,I even remember when I saw Ken Klemm I went to shake his hand and he greeted me with a big hug,it was all overwhelming.
I went from homeless 2 years ago to a homeless shelter last year to running my own successfull business and going onthe convention cruise this year and I'm eager to see what next year brings me a leadership crusie as a 4 star diamond?oh yeah.
Persistence,concentration of effort,definitness of purpose are the major sourses of achievement,so guys reading this lessonplan pls,don't EVER give up,keep moving foward no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!

DECISION: THE MASTERY OF PROCRASTINATION

2011-11-23T08:11:00.000-08:00

One of the things that stood out for me most, was to make Decisions Quickly and change them slowly. I think I figured out why (pertaining to myself), when I make a decision quickly, I am trusting my 6th sense, my “gut instinct”. The reason I need to change this decision Slowly is so I have the opportunity to look at it from every angle, to benefit from each angle and if needed I change it slowly. To me, this is after much thought, learning all the lessons I can from this decision until I change it! Plan, review, adjust. The adjust may be a big change from my original decision, however I rest assured that I have carefully taken all the steps needed to change/adjust that decision…part of the reason why I am changing/adjusting this decision is it no longer works with my goals. I have grown from the lessons learned therein, causing the need for the change. The decision/plan has to grow with me and adjust, when I adjust.

This reminds me of the verse in James, that says the testing of your faith produces steadfastness…it’s a process and adjusting, tweaking and tuning it helps me build into the person, I truly want to be!

Making a Decision is a Choice, and I am totally responsible for the outcome. I can make a mistake once, the second time I make that same mistake, it becomes a choice! To quote Mr. Hill from this chapter: “You have a brain and mind of your own. USE IT, and reach your Decisions! This is in reference to not be influenced by the opinions of others, which is so dangerous as it causes us NOT to Think For Ourselves. When this happens I will no longer succeed in ANY Undertaking, especially not being able to transmute MY OWN DESIRE into money! That is why Mentoring for Free is such a great place to be…it is where I Learn HOW to THINK, not WHAT TO THINK! This have been a Major component for Me!

Another scary reality from this chapter (directly quoted from this chapter) is: Ninety-eight out of every hundred people working for wages today, are in the positions they hold, because they lacked the DEFINITENESS OF DECISION to PLAN A DEFINITE POSITION, and the knowledge of how to choose an employer.

DEFINITENESS OF DECISION always requires courage, sometimes very great courage.

These instructions will be of no value to you UNLESS YOU DEFINITELY DECIDE to organize them into a plan of action. If it IS TO BE…then it is up to me to make Quick, Clear, Good Decisions! It will be of Great Benefit to me if I make these Decisions while in the Positive Emotions and Living in the Now!

Blessings and love to all!

Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit

2011-11-07T20:12:00.000-08:00

These last two weeks have been very frustrating for me. My husband and I have travelled from Canada to Mesa , Arizona where we own a small property in a seniors resort. Due to my husband's heart condition and our ages we no longer can afford the travel insurance to be able to spend the winter where the weather is better for my arthritis and where we don't have to shovel snow, so the sale of the property is imminent. Cleaning up our property after the dessert dust storms has been a task, that has been done and we are ready for the sale.

My mind has constantly been on what I need to do in MFF, at every turn there was an obstacle in my way. When we reached our destination the internet connection was down that took two days to get back in order, then the phone wouldn't work and it was one thing after another. I did keep my cool and kept telling myself things would settle down soon, it wasn't the end of the world just take it as it comes and work through it. I did it!

Travelling so many miles was a great opportunity to say my self talk. As we travelled I was planing what I had to do to reach my goal. My Desire to reach it is strong and in my heart I know I will never quit trying to reach my goals. I know for the month that we are here working on MFF is not the ideal situation, there are so many interruptions. It just will take a little longer to get back on stream. This is where Patience comes in, I must admit that when someone passes by to visit I wish they didn't and then I think that through and realize how blessed we are that we have made so many great friends over the years we have spent here in the winters.

When I read and listened to Chapter Seven this morning I found it overwhelming, it was just too deep for me today, I think I'm just too tired to retain everything that I read. I thought I need to write how I feel, I know that the folks at the 30 day Mental Cleanse will understand. When we return home things will get back to normal and I will be on stream again.

Now what I have to work on is getting up the courage to talk when I'm listening in on the calls. I'm working on that one very hard.

Thanks to all for this safe place to share my feelings!

Are you afraid of talking on the phone?

2011-11-02T15:56:00.000-07:00

I read this chapter and wasn't really sure what to
write because there are so many things in it.
Where does one start?

So I decided to read some of the lessons submitted.
Usually I try to write something before I read the lessons
but I was kind of stuck . Ken Klemm's was
the first lesson and I did not have to go any further because
and the following paragraph was a big ahah moment for me.

Ken wrote:
“ALL great wealth is created via a Culture of SERVICE.
The major CHOICE You must make in Your life is HOW You
Will SERVE - it must be something You thoroughly enjoy
doing”.

It made me think of where I was in January when I realized
I needed to make some changes in myself, by gaining
confidence, getting rid of the fear of speaking up
on the calls and start saying my self talk on a consistent basis.

When I really think about fear it really is a selfish thing.
We are frozen and jammed in insecurity. We are not really
thinking of the other person or people because we are
concentrating on how we feel not on how we are affecting
the other person and how we could be helping them.

As I understood this I was so disgusted with myself.
I hadn't looked on my fear as something that would take
away from someone else, but that is exactly what it does.
How can we give service to others when we are so involved
in ourselves.

That brings up another subject – ego.

Ego is all about self. Fear is all about self. How does it effect me-
not how can I serve others.

All I can say at this point is that I am so grateful to have finally
understood this now and be able to put it behind me and begin
to serve with a servants heart and not with a selfish heart.

So what does this all have to do with organized planning?
Well, I started the plan in January to make changes in me and
as I have recognized the problems, I have taken steps to conquer,
bury, replace and become a new improved me.

Maybe my plan was not as organized as it could have been but
I'm just happy I got here.

Imagination

2011-10-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

I want to start this lesson with these words.
What you are thinking about and picturing in your mind today,
is a clear indication of what you will be experiencing in the future.

I have had an image for many years that flashes up in my mind now and then.
I see myself standing on a stage and with certainty, enthusiasm, joy and love
I convey to people my knowledge of health, personal growth and success.
In my imagination my speech is perfect, I am comfortable in my role, and
seeing myself having fun when I convey my message to the crowd,
This is a big deal for me ... in my imagination.

Based on my experience, the faith and vision I have in myself,
I stop myself from believing that this would ever become a reality ....

What made me see my imagination above in a different way, was when I
visited my project leader last Wednesday.
He said this: To get ahead in your personal development, See yourself on stage and
all the threads you need, it's your choice what you want from the "buffet".
We are here to help you. That reminded me of the Mentoring For Free organisation,
the importance to have a Master Mind team to reach out to.

Ahaa ... I belive my mind got the picture now and I thought: A stage don't need to be
a stage I are accustomed to think of to stand on. The Stage is the place I'm standing on
right now and from there create and imagine the life I want.

Based on this knowledge I went to bed and sending out a question:
I want to spread my knowledge, I want to help people in my county and other countries .. show me how.

Then a amazing thing happened on Thursday morning. A lady from ST (Sundsvalls Newspaper)
calls me and asked if I wanted to be seen on the family pages in the newspaper
when I enter the 50th next week.

wow, what an opportunity, what a great stage I will have to stand on, what a great audience,
the whole county will read my story!
We agreed to meet at my place Friday at 10am, this lady and a photographer.

But gee, what story will I tell?! What will she ask? A photographer, I hate to have a camera
in my face..etc.etc...Help me someone!
I fired off a message to my mentor for advice, but got no response back ... ouch.

At this moment, when I was in all this what will I DO questions, I get a glimpse
of the invisible, quiet, withdrawn child from my subconscious past.
That little child who does not believe in being good enough, who is afraid of criticism, that little child
who thinks she is not worthy of love. I believe I had thousands of negative thoughts in that moment.

But it was only for a moment, a stronger force took over an remind me about what I have learned earlier
trough this process in 30 day mental cleanse, that my thoughts become reality if
I believe those thoughts is the truth.

So I switch my negative thougts about myself to more positive thoughts, I started to say
affirmations and paint pictures of myself as calm, expressive, objective and above all
to be courageous and risk being me. I took this thoughts in to my mind and created a
mental picture, keept them long enough so that my mental picture evoked an emotional response.
And I was back on the pat, my positive emotions started to fill my body and mind,
i get more and more confident, happy and enthusiastic about the interview.
The mental picture allowed me to be there in the interview, to experience it in my mind.

The difference between affirmation and imagery is that affirmations are conscious thoughts
I choose to think about. Imagery takes those thoughts and dwells upon them until
they generate emotion and belief. I have Keept this recipe in my mind,
that thoughts plus emotions creates conviction, and conviction creates reality.

It was a great interview, I let go and listening to this ladys questions and answered them with such calm,
I was relaxed, had fun, dared to stand out, had courage to be myself and without Agenda...
there is such power in affirmations and to be a stage manager.

I believe my story from the interview will end up in my blog.

Thank you Michael & Linda for creating a place for us to grow in.
I Love to read the lessons, thank you for sharing it fill my heart with gratitude and love to all of You!
Maria Bystrom
A Freind and Mentor With A Servant's Heart

PS I sent an other massage to my mentor before she answered me back and thanked here
for not returning with advice to me this time because it resulted in that I found
my own inner strength and the answer inside myself. Thank You Darlene Mills, I Love You !

I learn a lot from Maria. She has taught me how important it is to turn those negative thoughts into positive ones as soon as possible. Thank You Maria!

IMAGINATION: THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND -The 5Th Step Toward Riches

2011-10-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

“It has been said that man can create ANYTHING he can IMAGINE.”(Napoleon Hill)

According To Dictionary.com 'Imagination' is the faculty of forming mental images or concepts, of what is not physically present to the 5 senses or also to be able to solve unexpected or unusual problems.

I liked the way Hill puts it Imagination is a WORKSHOP for our minds where we can take our own Personal Impulse of DESIRE and begin to give it shape & form by applying ACTION.

It amazes me when I think of all the many technological advances that have come to our world in just the last 100 years, brought to us through the Imagination of men & women. We began the 20th Century with the creation of automobiles , airplanes & radios (to name a few) & we ended the 20th Century with spaceships, computers, cell phones,& the internet which we take for granted. And yet I think it is so very ironic with all the modern conveniences that IMAGINATION has brought into our world so many folks I come in contact with today seem like they are just going through the motions in their lives---just going to work, coming home having dinner, watching TV,,,etc,,etc & Never really experiencing Life in the Fulness that it was meant to be experienced. Instead of being encouraged by all the Technology & examples Like Bill Gates & Steve Jobs who had an entrepreneurial drive that propelled them to fame & fortune most people seem to sit back numbed out by all that is going on satisfied just to exist.

Just as an example of this on Sunday we had several friends & relatives over for dinner & we ended up discussing various topics when in passing conversation I asked if I could read them a story. I read the story of 'The Kettle' to the group. I had asked them if any of them had ever read 'Think & grow Rich' & a couple folks said they had, though years ago. I told them this was a story from the Chapter on 'Imagination' & about the Invention of Coke. When I neared the end of the story I asked the group if anyone knew the 'secret ingredient' that the young clerk added to the Kettle that brought world wide fame & riches to many. A couple people answered 'bio carbonide' & another person said molasses...It just amazed me that NO ONE got the correct answer! However when I reflect back on my own life I was basically in the 'same boat' of just going through life until the accident I was in on the job really 'Got my attention.' I think for years & years my 'Workshop' was empty decaying through lack of use & low self- esteem. In January 2006 as I was recovering from my work accident (a shattered heel) I began to Dream & Imagine Again,,,,,I tried many, many affiliate programs, money making deals, etc,,etc,, in an attempt to make my dreams a reality before finding this amazing Community at Mentoring For Free & The Mental Cleanse this past May.

Today as I participate in this community daily, I find the Limitations of my Imagination & Dreams being lifted, I feel like an Eagle getting ready to soar as my Happiness & confidence grows. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I was called to be here. For the past 5 years or so it has seemed like the old TV show 'Run For Your Life' for me as I was always frantically running after this or that 'deal' or 'opportunity' Trying to make money & find fulfillment before I was too old...Now in the last 2 months especially I awake with a peace & assurance that I am on the right path to Abundance & freedom BECAUSE finally I have been able to slow down & enjoy the scenery in the process. Instead of running FOR my life I Now Run TO my Life (but more like a Distance runner who paces himself)...I am Running TO the Life I always imagined was possible years ago, but had abandoned for so long.
These days I feel like the Life I am Imagining for myself is coming true.
“I Dream My Painting, Then I Paint My Dream” (Van Gogh)

Thank you so Much Michael, Linda & This whole Community For the Blessing you have Become To Me

Imagination-The Workshop of the Mind.

2011-10-24T14:42:00.000-07:00

The only thing, situation, event or person stopping me from being me is ME!

Yes, it’s been said before and it can sound like a broken record but it’s true.

Loddy’s lesson last week hit me between eyes.
David Haines’ lesson hit me between the eyes.
Maria Brystom’s and Darlene Moore’s lessons from this week inspired me.
A Leadership course I’ve been doing by Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter hit me too.
Some comments made on recent calls have hit me.

Why have I been hit? Well a bit like David Haines referred to last week. If people so like my lessons and tell me I inspire them why can’t I build a strong team, why don’t I have more people participating on the mental cleanse?
Loddy talked about “faking it until now”. David talked about Tianne’s comments to him last week that maybe the other mentors who have great teams and success in their lives is due to the fact that “they want it more”.

How badly do I want it? How prepared am I to be uncomfortable now in order to reach for my stars? Am I prepared to get out of my comfort zone?
Am I being too hard on myself?

I went back to look at “what do I really want?” Who do I really want to be and am I prepared to become?”
“What does the ideal image of me look like?”
I reflected on it quite a lot. Sometimes it was clouded in negativity and self doubt. But when it was bright and free flowing in positivity, free from chatter, it was a whole lot easier to see.

The person I desire to become isn’t so much different than the person I am now, just more confident but yet humble, so humble that on every call I make I approach it with ‘what I can learn from this person’.

The person I desire to become has a life only in the positive emotions, difficult things happen, but I am able to always redirect my thoughts and actions to those of a confident, happy person.

The person I desire to be is healthy all the time, and in top shape physically and mentally, as we can only perform at 100% when we feel 100%.

The person I desire to become is truly a leader, my thoughts are thoughts of a leader, my words are thoughts of a leader and my friends are leaders.

The person I desire to become is a perpetual student of leaders and of the average situation. From the average situation beyond average opportunities can abound if I put my ego aside and am open to listening for them.
"Your big opportunity may be right where you are now."Napoleon Hill.
When I am listening I allow my Creative Imagination to tune in to other subconscious minds and draw out their desires.

The person I desire to become works from home, contributes to videos, blogs, forums, books, groups and speaking events from time to time.

The person I desire to become has a comfortable mind and lives in ease.

The person I desire to become has a loving relationship with her partner, that grows all the time, as it does with her dear family and precious friends near and far. The person I desire becoming loves her “everyday” moment and raises a family living in this happiness, sheer joy, vitality, peace of mind and freedom.

The person I desire to become has a variety of books published in different languages so that this information is available for people in all walks of life in all corners of the world. I will use contributions from member s of my team and mastermind group. It will be a team effort, just as life and network marketing are.

The person I desire to become isn’t afraid, doesn’t waste precious time and appreciates life dearly.

The person I desire to become attracts people who have a similar desire for LIFE, for “love, individual worth, equality and freedom” to borrow from the core values of my company.

The person I desire to become can tell intuitively when another person has the necessary desire to be, and knows when and how much time to invest in them. Charlie Holles luckily gave me a chance to “find” my in-built desires, and I want to be able to do the same for the people who find me when they download the ebook, or find me “out there”.

The person I desire to become has a natural skill at happily building the largest, most profitable, highest retention organisation ever build in the history of network marketing easily and consistently through education and teamwork.

In all the lessons I read and listen to one strong piece of evidence keeps coming back to me---
The only way to CONTINUE to bridge the gap between the things that hold me back and the person I desire to become is to continuously hunt out the lazy part of me, nurture the beautiful and loving part of me, care for the action and discipline side of me, and have fun with the carefree side of me.
The only limits to me are ME.

I give myself these challenges through my thoughts as I know that it is part of the journey of the student becoming a light and freedom warrior.

“To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day — sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.” Bruce Lee.

Dr. Gunsaulus’s story lent me something new this time- It wasn’t until he DECIDED to take action that things started happening for him.
“The time had come for action.””Things began to happen in a hurry. I called the newspapers and ANNOUNCED I would preach a sermon the following morning.....”

It reminds me of something happening in my life right now.
I offered to help out my team as they will be away on a cruise in a couple of weeks, not really thinking about the repercussions, it was just a tiny voice inside me one night said “tomorrow send an email offering your help”.
Then I got an answer from my team leader that I could present some calls. ME?!?! I thought, at first. Am I really ready to share with others? Do I know enough? What will I talk about? Then as creative imagination works perfectly in a mastermind environment some other members contacted me saying they would be with me! Suddenly things are not so scary when we are reminded of the support and friendship we have around us ALL THE TIME!

I’m sure the rest will unfold just perfectly in perfect timing also.

Faith and self belief are the only things I can count on and also the only things holding me back.
So at this point the choice is entirely MINE!

With love and deep gratitude to you all.
Roisin O’Connor.

P.S. This was written by my good friend and fellow mentor Roisin O'Conner.

Roisin has been an inspiration to me when I feel like quitting, and I just read her brilliant writings and I get back up again and find more success!

What a difference one phone call can make!

2011-10-07T15:00:00.000-07:00

What a difference one phone call can make!

I can't believe how calm I was when we got the phone call from my husband D'Arcy's Cardiologist today, two months ago he had a defibulator and a pacemaker implanted to assist his heart. There had been plans to do further surgery but after the latest tests just two days ago the Dr is sure that D'Arcy would not make it through, his heart just couldn't handle it.

Two months ago I would have freaked and been a total mess at this news. With all the training, listening and reading other peoples lessons my Faith has become stonger than ever. Since I have been doing the Mental Cleanse and reading this chapter for the second time I am realizing how strong my Faith has become.
Not only the Faith I have that I am going in the right direction in building my business but in all things in my life.

When I heard the news this morning I realized I can do nothing to change this situation, I turned every thing over to the "Lord" and have Faith that he will be there for both of us. D'Arcy feels well, looks great and I cherish every day we have together. We have decided that life will go on, we will enjoy every day we have and live in the Now. What more can we ask for, we both have a strong Faith in God and that is all we need.

Thank you all for sharing your stories and life happenings, God Bless you All.

This was written by my good friend Dorothy Pagan. Dorothy is a real inspiration to me! When the going gets tough I just think of Dorothy, and all seems to be better!

Thank You Dorothy for being such a wonderful friend!

Some Things I've Learned In Network Marketing

2011-10-03T12:12:00.000-07:00

I'm 56 years old. A few years ago, on a cross-country flight, I realized that I am living my "WHY". That was an emotional event.

We don't do this because we have to. We do this because we love to do it. That's why we do a dozen or more training calls a week. It's our passion.

I come from a hard background. I love what Randy Gage says. He says, "My family life - we were the Addams Family on crack cocaine." I think mine was even worse.

My parents took me out of school in the 9th grade. I don't have formal education, but I have life lessons. I truly believe that if I can become successful, then anybody can.

My passion is to share that with others, to let them know they can do it, too. It starts with communicating. People don't listen to people. More than anything else, we teach them how to do that.

One absolute truth I've learned over the years -

- plays a very big part in the success we've had so far. And that is:
Leaders are readers.

That's why we put together a complete system to leverage this truth. We offer my "Success In 10 Steps" ebook at for free.

And here's the secret. There are no affiliate links. No affiliate program. We're not trying to get them in the deal, not selling any widgets. There are no catches. It's just giving others the benefit of what I've learned in 27 years.

And leaders are readers. When you give away a quality ebook, you attract leaders. And those are the people you want.

We used this system for years with another ebook. I have a list of people I've been following up with for years. And suddenly, here and there, they call to join my business. And some of them bring a LOT of people with them. It can change your life overnight.

It's about relationships. It's about caring. If you think internet marketing is a sales business, you're sadly mistaken. It is a relationship business.

You can create "know, like & trust" with your copy. Read it. You'll see it. To survive, you must create & build relationships.

You need to get the money out of the equation.

When the money's out of there and you're talking to somebody with no agenda, you can truly listen and be there for them.

When a boy & girl go on a date, there's an agenda. Most guys have one thing on their mind. How tense is that? Are they warm & open? No. They're apprehensive, because they both know what the agenda is. They know what the young man has on his mind.

How would it be if 2 people went on a date and they just wanted to get to know each other? No agenda. How much more enjoyable would that date be?

And how much more successful & happy would people be in business if the money wasn't the focus? if they had no agenda? The answer is, "A lot." I know, because we see it all the time.

To Your Success,

Stupid, Crazy, Dysfunctional Advice!

2011-03-10T14:48:00.000-08:00

*Words of Wisdom by my Good Friend & Mentor Tom 'Big Al' Schreider*

"If you cut your legs off in that lawn mower, don't come running to me!"

"If you poke your eye out with that stick, don't come looking for me!"

That's the kind of worthless advice many network marketing distributors receive on their journey of discovery. We tell our distributors what to accomplish, but not how to accomplish it.

For instance:

We tell new distributors to be positive, but we don't tell them the exact method to quickly reprogram their minds.

We tell new distributors to talk to their skeptical relatives and friends, but we don't tell them exactly which subconscious mind statements to use to approach their prospects.

We tell new distributors to be a leader, but we don't tell them the first ten key principles of practical leadership.

Our problem is that we are so excited about sponsoring the next new distributor that we forget our duty to develop and train our present distributors. It's human nature, but at least we can improve on our present efforts.

I make a conscious decision to invest time, money and energy in every new distributor. Even with that conscious decision, sometimes I forget.

And what's really important about all this? It's not what we teach and train, it is what our new distributors master. I keep a small checklist of basic leadership principles that my new distributors must master. Usually the new distributor only masters two or three principles at best. That just means I must keep investing time and energy until the job is done.

The key is:

It's not a checklist of what you teach . . . it's a checklist of what the new distributor masters.

This change of viewpoint is what makes effective leaders.

You can put off learning the skills to make real money in network marketing. In fact, you can delay the bigger bonus checks as long as you want. But when you finally decide that now is the time to make money from your efforts, here is where you will start to learn the skills you need.

Thanks A Milliion To My Good Friends and Mentors Tom 'Big Al' Schreider and Michael Dlouhy

To YOUR success!

USE YOUR TALENT TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL

2011-01-06T19:49:00.000-08:00

Truely successful people don't use others....others use them.

If you can contribute something to another person no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success. No one achieves success without being of service. This is why I mentor for free! I totally have a true love and passion for helping others no matter what they may need.
I have the ability to get the other persons point of view and find their talent. Some people think they have no talent, but we all have some talent to share. I am good with numbers and my husband is not such a good number crucher. My husband is good at speaking many different languages. I can only speak English.

All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has something to offer to somebody. I ask you....what kinds of talents do you have to offer?

M-L-M Success - Bond With Your Dream

2011-01-01T17:06:00.000-08:00

A good salesman can have you picturing your dream life in moments, and then actually LIVING that dream life, because he's going to leverage YOUR mental image to sell you HIS product or service. The better he can link what he's selling to your dream, the sooner you'll make that buying decision.

That's how sales works. The best salesperson gets you to visualize exactly what you want, in all its detail. Knowing that, why not use this technique on yourself?

We talk about visualization a lot. But do you actually ever DO it? And if so, are you doing it effectively?

Why not model the successful sales pro? YOU call the shots. Bond with your dream using all your senses - sight, sound, smell, touch, taste. Make it 100% vivid, just like you are really there now. Write down the details of the dream you are picturing, so you can use those details over and over.

Do it every day. The sooner you bond with your dream every day, the sooner you will pay the price to achieve it.

That is how life works.

IS YOUR GLASS ALWAYS HALF FULL ?

2010-12-22T10:35:00.000-08:00

Is your glass always half full or are you one of those people who always find something to complain about?

There is a good side to every situation. Do you view your problems as opportunities ?

You cannot have the success without the failures my friends. Any experience can be transformed into something positive.

It all depends on the way you choose to look at .

What are your stumbling blocks ? Defeat can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

With all of your adversities you can find the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

I ask you again....Is your glass always half full?

YOU CAN PLANT YOUR OWN DREAM WITH A GOAL

2010-12-21T19:01:00.000-08:00

Most people who have a goal succeed. Without a goal there is no is no achievement.

If you are to accomplish anything in a big way a definitive objective must be established.

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this. Decide what you want. The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.

Goals give you a starting place and a destination. Determine what you want. Decide on your major objections, targets, and destination.

I used to struggle with goal setting. I was always the one who procrasticated and let my thoughts wonder about how I was going to accomplish my goals. I worried more about the how then the actual goal.

Last year I decided to go on faith and set a goal and not worry about how I was going to get it accomplished. I set the goal and put a plan into action and ended up meeting my deadline.

You can plant your own dream, with a goal.

M-L-M Success - See The Big Picture!

2010-12-20T12:49:00.000-08:00

We all get in a position at times in our lives where it's hard to see the forest for the trees. That's why it's an important daily habit to step back and look at the big picture.

Self-improvement is continual, gradual, daily change. The problem is, it takes daily focus - which most people tend to lose.

When there's an unexpected crisis, THEN it's easy to focus. You handle the danger on the spot. But when a bad situation develops little by little, day after day, we're often not really aware of the problem until it's too late.

If that situation sounds familiar to you, then it's REALLY important that you see the big picture. Life demands your focus. If you aren't in the daily habit of focusing, then life will send some pain your way to get your attention.

It's a lot less stressful to make life changes on your own schedule, avoiding that crisis. When you look at the big picture and see changes you'd like to make, you can start making them gradually, which is much more pleasant than having life force those changes on you.

Sometimes, even gradual change can be difficult because of the way others see you. If that is the case, then THAT is a good place to start. Think through a plan that will put you in a position where other peoples' preconceived notions don't matter to you - so that all that really matters is what YOU think. Then work that plan on a daily basis. Make it a habit, and make it reality.

Self-improvement is something we all need to do, every day. Avoiding it doesn't work. Instead, step back. Look at the big picture. Which life problem area stands out? Is it something you really want to change? OK. Start. Make a plan and work your plan every day. EVERY day!

Before you know it, you will be a different person. You'll be especially proud of the changes you made in yourself. And this will make you a happier person.

ARE YOU A DREAMER OR ACHIEVER?

2010-12-18T09:53:00.000-08:00

The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers.

Your difficulty and the difficulty of everyone who ever desires to achieve anything worthwhile comes in the movement.

Don't always be intending to live a new life but never find a time to begin living it.

Most people fail because they never get started ( the GREENS). They don't go they don't overcome inertia, they just never begin.

Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have.

As you proceed in this spirit, the way will open for you to do more. The worst you can do is get ready to get ready!

I once knew a man by the name of Robert. Robert was one of those kinds of people who always had to make sure everything is perfect before he could start any kind of project. I remember working on a homework assignment with Robert and he would keep going through and analyzing everything to death! I just wanted to get the darn project started, and if we needed to make changes along the way then we could make the necessary ajustments. I told Robert " when you are ready to get started then give me a call and I will be over to help". Three days went by and finally he called to say he was ready to begin. It took us another five days to finish the project and along the way we did need to make many adjustments.

The Green personalities are the ones who are always getting ready to get ready! The Blue personalities are the ones who begin at once and make adjustments along the way. There are two other personalities Yellow and Red.

A HANDFUL OF LEMONS

2010-12-14T08:36:00.000-08:00

If life hands you a handful of lemons then don't complain about it,but instead fix up some lemonade and sell it to those who are thirsty from all that complaining.

Wally Amos, the man whom many consider to be the father of the gourmet cookie industry, has turned lemons into lemonade so often in his life that in his official portrait he holds a pitcher in one hand and a glass of lemonade in the other. A perennial optimist, Amos refuses to acknowledge that obstacles are anything other than stepping-stones to success. In a career that has spanned several decades, he has made it to the pinnacle of success several times, only to lose everything and be forced to start over. But he’s never lost faith. "You have to have the trust and faith to let go and not agonize," he says. "Don’t waste your time worrying. Worry is not preparation. Analyze the situation and focus on solutions. There is always an answer.

How many times have you sat there worrying and stressing over something that you may not even be able to contol at that moment in time. I know I sure have. There was a time when I didn't know how we were going to come up with the money to pay our utlilies, and so I found myself stressing to the point of tears. My son then told me to sit down and write out some solutions that we could put into place. I took his advice and the solutions worked!

IT PAYS TO BE THANKFUL

2010-12-11T08:02:00.000-08:00

When adversity overtakes you, it pays to be thankful it wasn't worse instead of always worrying about what could have been.

There are few things in life that are as bad as they seem at first. Dealing with adversity begins with analyzing and accepting your situation for what it is. When you realize that things are not nearly as bad as they might seem, you have taken the first step toward working your way through the challenge. You will never be asked to carry a heavier load than you can bear. When I find myself feeling this way, I reach out and volunteer my time to someone else in need, and then my challenges don't seem to be that bad at all.

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING EVERYDAY

2010-12-10T08:01:00.000-08:00

Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it. The mold to your success and fortune are in your hands.

You cannot do everything, but you can do something everyday, it's called using the slight edge.

You choose your thoughts and actions. If you believe you can make 10 calls a day, then you will make ten calls that day.

Nobody can do it for you. Nobody will do it for you. You have to make it happen.

You can live your dreams if you take responsibility for your actions and believe you can make those 10 calls a day.

I believe in you!

YOUR FAILURE MAY PROVE TO BE AN ASSET, PROVIDED YOU KNOW WHY YOU FAILED.

2010-12-09T09:27:00.000-08:00

There are a few occasions during our brief time on earth when most of us experience great flashes of insight, great moments of truth that forever change the course of our lives. Most of those experiences result from spectacular failures, not from outstanding successes. It is from the failures that so chagrined and dismayed us that we learn the most lasting lessons. When you are the unwilling recipient of a great moment of truth, extract the useful lessons and then put the entire episode behind you. Learn from your failures, forget about them, and move on to better things. Failure can be a good thing as it gives us a chance to rework our plan and even make it better.

M-L-M Success: What Is The Opposite of Achievement?

2010-10-20T08:13:00.000-07:00

HAH! I'll bet you're saying, "That's easy. The opposite of achievement is failure."
Not so fast, pal!

Oh, I can see your point. Failure is definitely the opposite of achievement. But think about this one for a minute:

"The opposite of achievement is perfectionism."

OO-oo-ooh! The more you insist on perfection, the less you will get done. The problem with perfection is, it takes FOREVER to achieve it. There is always, always, always one more thing you can do to get closer to perfect. And there are a ton of MLMers always looking for that "one more thing."

Do you have "forever" to reach your goals? CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE TRAINING SYSTEM

I'm a big believer in the 80/20 Rule which says that "80% of the result comes from 20% of the effort." In network marketing - or anything else - you are way better off to act now and get 80% of the result, than to wait a day or a week or a month or a year, until everything is perfect.

In the time that passes while you are getting everything right, somebody else will have blundered on ahead and completed 20 or 50 or 300 or 1000 actions, and you will be eating their dust.

Perfection would be great, but here is the price you must pay for it: nothing ever gets finished. The road to success lies in doing lots of the right actions and finishing them - not perfectly, but sufficiently. The more you act on your logical plan, the more achievement you will have.

Perfectionism truly is the opposite of achievement. If you recognize that irony, you'll be a lot closer to reaching your goals.

Trying To Sell Absolutely Does Not Work!

2010-10-01T12:47:00.000-07:00

The people who tell you that to be successful in MLM, you've got to become a salesperson are ... the salespeople! If you haven't noticed, they are very arrogant. They believe that what they do is the ONLY correct way to do the business, and anyone who doesn't do it THEIR way is a loser.

Don't fall for it.

Trying To Sell Absolutely Does Not Work!

Ninety-two per-cent of the world's population - like you and me - is sales resistant. They don't like to sell. They don't like to be sold. You go into a store, looking for a shirt or a pair of shoes, the sales clerk comes up, what do you say?

"I'm just looking."

People do not want to be sold. And then you get into network marketing and some upline superstar space commander guru leader tells you, "OK. Start by making a list of your friends & family." And the plan is to turn YOU into that pushy, aggressive salesperson that nobody likes.

Selling does not work in this business. Even if you're one of the 8% of the population who can do it, you'll never be able to duplicate, because 92% of the people who join you simply will not sell.

I go on websites and see brand new companies TODAY, and their "training" is, "Make a list of your friends & family." That's what the industry did 50 years ago. Today is a new day.

You can't be successful trying to sell. Instead -

- You Have To Really Target Your Market

Find prospects who have raised their hand, and build relationships with those people. People buy from people they know, like, & trust. You have to build that relationship.

Building relationships with people is easy and fun, when you have a system that works. For more information on our magical relationship-building system and FREE training to boom your network marketing business and your income...

Marketing Principle #1 Is Critical

2010-09-13T12:37:00.000-07:00

Business models drive the behavior in the field. You cannot change the model. You can only work with it.

Some companies have a business model of very high-priced products which could never be sold to the public on product merit alone. The only way they can be sold is as a money-making opportunity. THAT business model creates an atmosphere of "recruit, recruit, recruit." And you're setting yourself up for massive failure.

Think about this. Marketing Principle #1 anywhere in the world is that a business sells products or services for a profit. If your business can't do that, and you only earn profits by recruiting people - who recruit people who recruit people who recruit people - THAT is not normal! THAT is absolutely not sound marketing. THAT will end up getting the attention of the feds.

Companies that only recruit instead of retailing products or services usually have a very good reason. Which is, their products or services are way over-priced, so no one could ever actually sell them. Don't put yourself at that competitive disadvantage.

Prelaunch! Ground Floor Opportunity!

2010-09-11T20:51:00.000-07:00

Some people seem to be forever joining the next ground floor opportunity. And the next and the next and the next - alluvasudden, somebody who made some money sometime a long time ago - this one is so good, they came out of retirement for it!

The Blue personality type is especially susceptible to this. (I know - I'm a Blue!) You're looking for excitement, and what could be more exciting than something new? So you just jump, jump, jump, and you're never in one place long enough to ever build anything.

Unless you own the Fountain of Youth, you're going to get older, just like the rest of us. The worst words to hear in network marketing are: "ground floor opportunity". Over 90% of the companies that get started, don't make it 2 years. And most of the rest are gone after 5 years.

Your chances aren't much worse playing the lottery.

It's important to choose a company that has proven it will be around long-term. Pre-launch deals don't qualify. Only a very small percentage of them will last even 2 years.

Your benchmark should be at least 2 years. It takes that long to knock the cobwebs out of it. It takes 2 years to get their ducks in a row, to get their campaigns together, to get everything approved in different countries, to get warehouses built, and all that stuff.

They've already survived a lot of the normal growing pains. They have much better long-term prospects than any "pre-launch". Make them prove themselves by being around 2 years before you commit your time & money to that business.

How Desperate Are You?

2010-09-06T11:15:00.000-07:00

Are you so desperate you'll recruit anybody who can fog a mirror?

First, your prospects can smell desperation. You can't hide it from them, and the good ones will avoid you like the plague.

Second, network marketing is about relationships, not selling. People feel it when you treat them as a number. When you have to build that dream for somebody all by yourself, with very limited help from them, you will spend ALL your time trying to build them a dream.

Be selective about who you want in your business. My mentor, Tom "Big Al" Schreiter, once told me never to sign up someone unless it was a person who I'd want to go on a one-month cruise with. THAT is a very good standard for you. Keep that benchmark in mind each time you talk to prospects. Then you'll recruit the right people.

Nothing drains your energy faster than trying to help an unmotivated person build a business. Life is just too short to waste all that effort.

Target People Who Already Know & Love M-L-M

2010-08-24T09:07:00.000-07:00

When you target people who don't know anything about MLM, you'll spend all your time trying to build them a dream, trying to convince them, trying to get them to believe the way you believe.

It's kind of like religion. Let's say you're a Baptist and I'm a Catholic, and you want to convert me. Well, good luck! Why try to convert somebody? Just go find somebody who's already in your religion, and talk to those people.

Otherwise, you'll spend all your time trying to motivate somebody, trying to get them to have a dream ... rather than building your business. When you work with people who don't already understand MLM, there's a good chance they'll head down the road the wrong way. Often they've heard bad things, and that's all they'll focus on.

And so you spend ALL your time trying to change that person's mind. It's a waste of time. What you need to do is find somebody who already has the dream. Your life will go a lot easier.

Marketing Insanity- Talking to everyone about your business opportunity

2010-07-27T07:34:00.000-07:00

The Hitters have more wonderful advice for you: “Talk to EVERYBODY about your business opportunity."

Oh, man, don’t get me started!

There’s an old saying you hear from time to time: the reason you have 2 ears
and 1 mouth is you should LISTEN twice as much as you TALK.

Take a good look next time you see a Heavy Hitter. I swear, if you look
closely, you’ll see the guy has zero ears and THREE MOUTHS!

OK. For the sake of argument, let’s see where their advice leads us.

Let's say you owned a shoe store. You get 300 visitors. If you have the right
styles, colors, & price, could you sell some shoes? Absolutely.

But you'd never try fitting a corporate Secretary working at the Trump Towers
with men’s construction work boots. Not appropriate.

And not everyone wants your business opportunity.

This advice works great for the 10% of the population who are salespeople
(more on this in Chapter 5).

But if you’re part of the 90% who hate pushy, aggressive people, THIS
lie will make you feel totally inadequate to ever build a networking business.

Strange Practices of People Who Never Succeed

2010-07-22T08:38:00.000-07:00

Over the years, I've observed a lot of people who have not achieved what they want in life. These people often have a lot in common. I thought it might benefit YOU to have a list of things NOT to do. So, following is what seems to be a mental "To Do" list for non-achievers:

1. Don't listen to anyone who has had actual success.
2. Take advice from everybody you know who has never achieved a dream.
3. Plan, plan, plan, and plan some more. Get everything 100% right. Then check it a few more times before you actually DO something.
4. Blame others for your failure to achieve what you want.
5. Take time every day to remind yourself what a loser you are.
6. Repeat the same mistakes over and over.
7. Keep going in the same direction that has never gotten you where you want to go.
8. Don't do anything to replace those limiting, negative thoughts you've always had.
9. Keep spending time around those people who assure you you'll never be successful.
10. Insist that you are right, no matter what the outcome of any action, because being wrong is worse than failure.

Is there anything on this list that YOU ever do?

If so, how can you change it?

In M-L-M, The Market1ng Will Build Your Empire

2010-07-21T08:27:00.000-07:00

Early in "Success In 10 Steps", you can read about "the monk in the white lab coat." I don't think it's just the people I've talked to recently. I can definitely remember when I used to think this way.

There are just a LOT of people who believe that far and away THE #1 reason to choose a network marketing company is the product. And even after talking with them a bit, it is a very tough idea to dislodge.

M-L-M companies must have a great product to compete in today's market. But it is effective marketing, not a product, that will either build an empire or not. Specifically, you should be searching for a group with an effective, results-producing marketing program in place. So it's important to give prospects as much evidence as you possibly can that product focus is not what will build them a great income from home.

To have any hope for building a successful MLM business, they have to get this concept. If all they want is a great product, that's fine. If they don't care about the money, no problem. They can do whatever the heck they want to do.

But most people - and certainly most of the people your prospect will be talking to about the business - are looking to make money at it. And if you ask even this product-focused prospect, you can pretty much be 100% sure they'll say, "Well, yeah - I want the money!"

And to do that, you've got to have those other 4 Pillars in place - not just the product. So page 14 is a very good place to point your prospect to, to make that point and get them headed in the right direction.

Why Most Network Marketers Do Zero Retail Business

2010-07-19T12:38:00.000-07:00

Is retailing product a true network marketing opportunity?

On this planet, the lifeblood of any company is retail sales to the end consumer. Think about this, Business models drive the behavior in the field.

Would you agree with me that every product - doesn't matter what it is - a bottle of water, a coke or Pepsi, an aspirin, a vitamin, a liquid nutritional drink - it could be any product out here - if the quality and quantity of all the ingredients, are exactly the same, I ask people, "Would you agree with me that the wholesale manufacturing cost of any product is within pennies of each other?"

And the answer I get is, "Absolutely, no question about it, that is true."
Now here's where the problem comes in.

Marketing The Product To The End Consumer

Let me you a story. Companies A, B and C, these are real companies in real life. Company A hired a doctor to formulate the best vitamin product on the planet - and they did. it's something you can take all at once. It doesn't interact with any of the other ingredients. Works great. That company is marketing that product. They are a fairly large company, publicly traded.

Another company comes along and what's so funny about the story is the COO, the bean counter for the first company, sold his piece of the pie and became a distributor with company B.

Company B has a binary compensation plan. Now the first company is a stairstep break away comp plan, second company is a binary. So A is the stairstep, B is the binary. And the binary plan is just one left, one right.

Now, that guy said "Whoa! We had this great product with company A - now we want it with company B. So they go and hire the doctor away from company A to formulate them the best product.

And I would ask you another question. When you are a publicly traded company, you are not spending your money. You are spending investors' money. So when you put that dot, the comma, the zero on a check, does it really matter to you? Does it really matter where you put it? Absolutely not, it is not your money. It's like you shopping with my credit card.

So they hired the doctor. What that cost, I have no idea. But they told the doctor, "Make us the best vitamin product!" And he said, "Well - they've already got it in company A. But we could take that same formula and I could increase everything one gram.

So He Added One More Gram of Stuff To The Stuff

So every capsule of THEIR new stuff had one more gram in it. Great, no problem, So they created that product.

Now, company C came along, The founder of the company said, "Whoa! Company A, company B, they have got a great product. It's not patented. Don't need the doctor. Four manufacturing companies make the identical product. All I need to do is get the formula, take it to our manufacturer, see if they can improve it."

So they did. So they took the same formula and added to it, improved the formula.
Now, here is the reality, I am going to give you the retail sales price on all 3 company's products.

Company A: $114 retail
Company B: $104 retail
Company C: $39.95 retail

But Isn't The Wholesale Cost Identical?

Now, you agreed with me that the wholesale manufacturing cost of any product is within pennies. So why the big spread? If you joined Company B, I know for fact that you can buy that product at the super duper low wholesale price of 79.95.

Now, you got to ask yourself this question, since Company B's wholesale price is double the retail price of company C. why the big difference? Well, first, you need to understand that the business model drives the behavior in the field. In company A and B, the business model promotes the behavior of recruit, recruit, recruit, recruit, recruit. Why? Because normal mortals will not pay that kind of money for product.

They'll only buy the product to be in the business. So that business model creates the behavior of recruit, recruit, recruit. Now, company C, because it's $39.95 retail, that creates a behavior of retail, retail, retail. And you can prove it with these numbers.

To make $10,000 a month on the residual auto ship volume in Company A, you need 1400 - 1600 people. Company B, you need 2200 - 2400 people, Company C - you need less than 400 people. Same product. Same people you are selling to. So the big question is, can average part time people ever build a group of 2400? Or can they build a group of 400 easier? Think about that.

So The Business Model Drives The Behavior In the Field. Always!

Why is your product so expensive? Here's why, the company need a big, big, big, big, big building. It's so comical. They say, "Oh, we're debt free."Yeah. They're debt-free off the backs of the distributors, they stole the compensation plan to build the big building. Doesn't help the reps at all.

Think about this for a second. Companies A, B and C, and the breakage - that's all profits that they make out of you, the distributor. Breakage is the difference between the wholesale cost and the retail cost, that mark-up from 39.95 retail to the 79.95 wholesale. That pays for the big building, the company jet, pays for all that.
A few years back, a prepaid phone card company charged $2 or $3 a minute for prepaid phone calls. You bought a prepaid phone card back then for a dollar a minute. But these were collector's cards. ("If you don't scratch the back of the card off, and don't use the time, it makes it more valuable.")

So this plastic card, which cost maybe 25 cents to create, was selling for $2 a minute. And the company convinced the people not to scratch it off, so they never had to pay for the phone time.

Isn't that amazing? It's no wonder network marketing gets a bad name.

One way to build your business is to sell products at retail. And to do that, you must join a company with value-priced products. It's important that you look around to find that. Don't settle for a company that charges 2 or 3 times the product value. Consumers are smart. You will always struggle to build with that company.

The Fall Of A Leader

2010-06-28T07:22:00.000-07:00

When a great leader falls because of a lack of integrity, it is
very painful for all involved. Tearing another person down to
build yourself up, only leads to a false impression of yourself.

When someone is tearing others down in front of You this is
a guarantee they will do the same to You behind Your back.
Ultimately you will crash and burn from your lack of character.

The question is:

Would You Want This Person As Your Sponsor ?

Life can give us challenges in many areas of our life. How we
handle those challenges ourselves and who helps us, can
determine our success or failure. Loyalty to do the right thing
enters into all decisions. Friendships built on loyalty and trust
are like support beams for a foundation.

A foundation is the beginning. This applies to your marriage,
your friendships, your home and your business. If you build
them correctly, they will sustain you your lifetime. If you
build carelessly everything will crumble around you.

Leaders are built. Day by day, Lesson by lesson. When a
leader chooses to fall, they sacrifice their integrity, their
honor and their character.

If after knowing the facts and fully utilizing their "critical
thinking skills" when someone decides to leave Your Team
please wish them all the best.

Excerpt from "Launching a Leadership Revolution"
Foundational Leadership Quality: Honorable

Integrity can be considered as the condition of "not doing
what's wrong." Character can be defined as doing the right
things, for the mere reason that it is the right thing, even if
that thing is difficult and unpopular.

The two sewn together make honor. Author Jeff O'Leary,
in The Centurion Principles, writes, " 'Honor' encompasses
the virtues of integrity and honesty, self-denial, loyalty, and
a servant's humility to those in authority above as well as a
just and merciful heart to those below."

Honor is such a rarely used word in our times that it seems
a little old-fashioned. But living a life of integrity and character
is timeless and, for a leader, absolutely necessary. It's about
choices, and a person's choices in life follow him to the grave.

Is this to say that a person needs to be perfect to become a
leader? Of course not. Perfection in this life is not possible,
and we, the authors, are certainly not exceptions. However,
a leader must strive continually toward perfection even though
she knows she can never exactly attain it.

It is a question of the heart. The most effective leaders through
out history have led with their hearts, in trust, and with honor.
If a leader cuts corners, misuses people, or misrepresents, the
truth, a time bomb begins ticking. Someday, somewhere, the
bomb will go off. It is obvious in our times only too often: public
figures at the pinnacles of power and fame crash and burn in
the cloud of self-inflicted shame. From political scandals to
high-profile corporate frauds, these calamities are brought
on by a lack of honor in the leadership.

"Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."

The difference between leaders we revile and those we praise
is their individual level of honor. In fact, honor is the force that
holds a leader's hunger in check.

Without honor, hunger runs rampant and ultimately serves
only selfish interests. Honor is the component that makes
hunger productive for the leader's fellow man. In fact, what
we are basically describing here is another "old-fashioned"
word: duty.

George Washington said of duty, "Human happiness and
moral duty are inseparably connected." So leadership is
spawned by hunger and held in check by honor.

Under that combination, leaders will find happiness in the
fulfillment of their duty to others. It has been said that the
character of a man is the only thing that will walk back
from the grave into the hearts of the people who knew him.

That is the legacy of a leader. The words a leader say and
the walk a leader walks must match. As the saying goes,
"Your word is your worth and your worth is your word."

Andy Stanley, author of The Next Generation Leader, says,
"To become a leader worth following you must give time and
attention to the inner man.

To leave a legacy that goes beyond accomplishment alone,
a leader must devote himself to matters of the heart."
Character is developed in the valleys and the peaks of life,
enabling a person to overcome obstacles and deal with
success.

Abraham Lincoln observed, "Nearly all men can handle
adversity, but if you really want to test a man's character -
give him power." Character connects a person to what is
right and true.

If reputation is what others think of you, then character is
what God knows about you. This concept of honor is so
important to a leader because people will follow a leader
only as far as they feel they can trust him.

People will not follow a leader they can't trust. According
to R. Ruth Barton, "We set young leaders up for a fall if
we encourage them to envision what they can do before
they consider the kind of person they should be.

" Warren Bennis tells us, "In the leadership arena,
character counts. I am not saying this casually, of studies,
observations, and interviews with leaders and with the
people near them.... I've never seen a person derailed
from [leadership] positions for lack of technical competence.

But I've seen lots of people derailed for lack of judgment
and character." And, as Heraclitus said, "Man's character
is his fate." Finally, it should be remembered that a major
component of honor is personal courage.

Without the courage to do what's right because it's right,
regardless of ramifications to self, one is not truly worthy
to be called a leader.

When people don't "Believe" they deserve Success they
will self destruct every time.... This is the reason we tell
everyone we meet to "Participate" in the 30 Day Mental
Cleanse if You want to own Your life.

Network Marketing Software - The Big Mistake Most Companies Make

2010-06-25T12:47:00.000-07:00

Most MLM companies rent their software. But they can never tweak it to fit their business model, and the distributor base suffers.

Let me give you a story on that. I was consulting for a network marketing company out in Utah.¬ They had a binary compensation plan, in other words a 2-legged plan - one left, one right. Real simple, right?

But the software they leased could not be changed from left to right, to reflect the binary. They tried.

They Had To Pay The Programmers To Come Back In & Reprogram It!

You would think that was a simple, simple, simple fix. But it couldn't be fixed over a 6 month period.

Here's what happened. Let's say you already have your strong leg going well. Now you go into your back office and put all your new sign-ups on your weak leg.

And you're building, building. You have ads running on the internet. People are joining you and your business is growing. And you think they're going on your weak leg.

All of a sudden, you find out they are all going on your strong leg. And in a binary, you only get paid based on your weak leg production. So this is a real problem.

Now You Have To Fight With The Company To Move Your People!

And what was so amazing about that process that I witnessed was, the company went out and hired more and more and more customer service people to handle the paperwork to move these new reps. And then they started charging the distributors $10 each to move the people that the company messed up on in the first place.

Finally, they got so overrun with people wanting to change these positions back over to their weak leg where they should have been in the first place - that they finally said, "We are not switching anybody anymore!" They couldn't handle all the influx of people needing that done.

Now that's a perfect example of buying your software and not being able to tweak it at all.

And when you rent the software, you better read the fine print, because you don't own the database.

You Do Not Own The Database!

About a year and a half ago, I saw a downline genealogy for sale on the internet. I happen to know the owners of the company. I called them up and said "Hey! What's going on? My gosh, your company is doing good, isn't it?"

"Yeah. Company is doing great. But we couldn't afford to buy the software, so we leased it. And part of the lease deal is, the software company owns the database."

And this software company thought it would be great to make an extra $100,000. So they put the genealogy for sale on the internet and sold it to 10 companies for $10,000 apiece. So they made a quick $100,000 selling the genealogy. And right in the Policies and Procedures, it said that the software company owned the genealogy. It was right there, right in black and white. How would you like to build your business and then have your organization for sale on the internet?

So before you build big with some company, ask them who owns their software. If they don't own it, then you could lose everything in a heartbeat.

The big reason they rent it is because it costs them about $2 million to buy it. They can rent it for about $10,000 a month. Most companies don't have the 2 million dollars to spend up front.

But the other thing is, if you really truly, understand your business and it functions, doesn't it make more sense to have someone program your specific software? Then you can work with them.

You Want a Company That Has Built Their Software From The Ground Up!

When the company has built it and owns it, the distributor base is protected.

Instead, these guys get the idea to start a network marketing company, and 10 minutes later, they are in business. So they call the software companies and find out it's 2, 3, 4 million dollars to buy the software program, but you can rent it for 4, 5, 10 grand a month and you're in business!

Now they know this is a tough business, and there's a very real chance they won't even be around 2 years. Taking on a $2 million obligation doesn't make sense to them. $10,000 a month is definitely the way to go. Problem is, you've sold your soul to the devil.

An Evil Secret

Another thing that software companies will do is - and this is a very well kept secret - they will be in partners with that MLM company. So there is a downline organization, a leg being built by the MLM company for the software company.

That creates a retirement income for the software company on the backs of the distributors. How hard is it for the owners of the MLM company to move all their orphan distributors underneath the software company and build them a nice check? That's a very, very, very tightly kept secret,

It's just one more reason you need to build your future with a company that owns its own software.

Choose a company for long term

2010-06-22T12:59:00.000-07:00

Quick cash = quick crash.

Normal people can't sleep at night when they have ripped off people and stolen their dreams. You have to get this understanding.

Network marketing is a business that can pay you and your children and your children's children for the rest of their lives - when you build it with a "5 Pillars" company. For details on a "5 Pillars" company, go to 5 Pillars to Success

But so many people get sucked in to "build it fast." I just did a call with a very excited lady. She's in a binary and tells me, "Oh, they put me in a spot where I've already got 1100 people down one leg."

Good. How much money are you making?

"Well ... none, yet!"

And that is because they don't pay anything on the strong leg. They pay it on the weak leg ... which no one will ever give you. You have to build that one. But they'll promise you all those people on your strong leg, because it doesn't cost them anything, and many people will just sign up because they don't know any better.

Don't fall for the scams. Build for the long-term.

Whats holding you back - Could it be fear?

2010-06-17T07:24:00.001-07:00

What’s holding you back from letting go and becoming the person you dream of becoming?

Whatever you think it is, if you get it back to the root cause, it always stems from one thing, fear; fear of failure, fear of success, fear that we’re not good enough, you name it, but the truth is, you are good enough, you do deserve to live your dream life and only once you realize that most fear has no basis in reality will you ever have the courage to go after that life with all you’ve got.

Anytime we step outside our comfort zone we’re always going to feel some fear, but those individuals who achieve things we admire don’t do so because they never felt fear, they just weren’t willing to let fear rob them of their dreams and took action in spite of the fear, the question is, are you going to let fear rob you of the opportunity to live a life most will only ever dream of?

Remember if you can dream it you can have it! When we take action the fear will disappear. What is stopping you from taking action? I would encourage you to step out of your comfort zone.

You Can Train Your Thoughts Like You'd Train a Dog

2010-06-14T07:13:00.000-07:00

Train your thoughts like you'd train a dog?

Does that sound ridiculous? OK. Look at it this way. Your thoughts come from a combination of your background & environment, your life experience, and your observations. And the way you look at each of those is entirely under your control.

You've probably noticed that things change out there in the world. Life can be very unpredictable at times. And yet the biggest problem most people have is that they expect they will get the same bad results in the future as they got last week - or 10 years ago.

You can train your brain to think the way you want it to, to achieve the best MLM results. And you must. Train yourself to focus better, and you will be a different person. Set a goal of making faster decisions - maybe put yourself on a timer for tough decisions, so you don't stew over them. Right or wrong, just go ahead. You will become a more effective & happier person.

A lot of people think they need more information to make a decision. In the real world, you often still make the wrong choice even with a lot more information. So you're better off to just make a choice, execute it, find out if it's right or wrong, and then keep going or change course, based on the feedback you get from life.

That is a LOT like you'd train a dog. It's very simple. Just take the same attitude toward your own mind. Put yourself in charge, and tell it what to do. Your life goes a lot better that way

To your success!

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY NOW !!

2010-06-12T11:39:00.000-07:00

Your're going to have to take responsibility at some point. Go ahead, get out in front of the situation, and grab that responsibility as soon as you can.
Realize that even though it's not your fault, it it impacts your world it is your responsibility. Responsibility means doing what you can, with all you have,to bring about a positive outcome.

It's easy to slosh around endlessly in a swamp full of excuses. But after all that sloshing, as impressive as it may be, you'll still be mired in a swamp.
Instead, climb out, step up and seize the opportunity to make a difference. Now is when your actions can bring real value to your world.
Stand up, take responsibility, and you'll stand out from the crowd. Step forward, get to work, and transform challange into achievement.

By truly taking responsibility, you immediately begin to improve whatever situation your're in. By following through with that responsibility, you truly become master of your own destiny.

Embarrassed About Working From Home?

2010-06-08T12:20:00.000-07:00

Are you embarrassed for people to know that you work from home? Do you tell your friends and family about what you do for a living (or what you do part time)? When someone asks you what you do do you avoid telling them the truth? If so you might be hurting yourself and your paycheck in your home based business.

If you’re embarrassed about working from home there is really no reason to be. Network marketing is a totally legal, ethical and legitimate way to make money. It’s a real business and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I have come across a lot of different types of people through the years and I have found that the people who are embarrassed or ashamed of their home based business goals are the ones who don’t tend to make very much money or the ones who drop out and quit before ever truly realizing your success.

I guess it could be considered normal for someone to be a little ashamed of working from home. After all the public opinion of network marketing isn’t exactly great. A lot of people still wrongfully view home based businesses as scams or schemes instead of what they actually all, legitimate businesses.
However, if you are going to be a part of a home based business you need to get over that and fast! Otherwise you might not ever have the kind of success that you want to have.

A prospect can pick up on someone who isn’t confident in what they’re talking about and nobody wants to be in business with someone who isn’t sure of themselves.
Many people feel like they want to hide their business from their friends and family until they start making a lot of money and then they’ll shout it from the rooftops but that’s not a good thing to do either. Your friends and family will probably just want to support you and who knows perhaps some of them will even go into business WITH you! So keeping it a secret isn’t a good idea.

Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed by working from home. It’s a smart and savvy thing to do in these economic times and it’s defiantly nothing to be embarrassed about!

I really enjoyed reading this article written by Christian Gingras

Working from home has been a great joy to be. I totally love being able to choose the hours I work and be in charge of my schedule. I also let friends and family know about my products. Some of them haven't wanted to join me, but will gladly purchase products from me.

The Most Amazing Stupid Tricks

2010-05-19T13:25:00.000-07:00

The most amazing stupid tricks network marketing companies do is letting some legal department enforce their policies and procedures.

Give this some thought. If a network marketing company has a legal team that writes the policies and procedures and oversees the legalities of the company, the network marketing company has generally spent about a quarter of a million dollars retaining this legal department.

So now the legal department has to justify their existence, since they just added a quarter of a million dollars overhead to the company. So the legal department writes Policies and Procedures so convoluted, so confusing - it's just legalese.

And you have to read chapter 7, and remember 7.C. Then down in 19.D, they talked about it again, and you have to pull those 2 together. They talked a little bit about it up here. Now they add the rest of it down here.

But if you don't connect the two, you don't know what they're talking about.

Lawyers LOVE Writing All This BS!

Example: in some companies, the P & Ps say you are responsible to monitor your downline organization's activities. If THEY do something illegal, then YOU are responsible for that.

A friend of mine got terminated because one of his downline members recruited somebody who was in another deal sideline, which was cross recruiting. But they held the sponsor responsible, and they terminated him, so they could steal his check. Real simple. Real simple.

And your person signing the bonus checks needs to have built a downline themselves. MLM CEOs who have never built a downline do not have a clue about MLM distributors.

Network Marketing Companies Would Be NOTHING Without Distributors!

CEOs who have built a downline know that. They know that companies are nothing without the distributors.

Sure, they need a product. Yeah they have to ship a product. Yes, they have to send a bonus check. But who built the company? Who built the volume?

Answer: The distributor. And if the CEO realizes that, then they treat the distributors like gold. They don't have some legal department trying to terminate their distributors.

Stupid Trick #2

And the other stupid thing that network marketing companies do is, they don't listen to the field. The reps are in the trenches everyday. Companies need to know what their reps see, what they do, what they hear, what they say.

We tell people all the time, "Read your Policies & Procedures." I got a call the other day from the COO of a company. Actually, his secretary called me to ask some questions about why I am telling people to read their Policies & Procedures. because they have a bunch of people doing it and it ticks them off!

This company, based out of Texas, has the most ruthless Policies & Procedures you've ever seen. They are unbelievable.

Want To Sell¬ The Business YOU Built? Fuhgeddaboudit!

For example - if you wanted to sell your downline, sell your business, you have a 10-page document that you have to fill out. And before you offer the business to anybody, you have to offer to the company first.

And when you mail your request for them to buy it, you have to include a $100 nonrefundable fee. And then they can say yes or no!

Next step is, when the company says "No", they will then send you 3 upline people that you can sell your business to. You have to offer it to each of them one at a time. And the P & Ps stipulate that to buy YOUR business, they must resign their own business.

So usually, they say "No". And after all 3 have turned you down, one at a time, then you have to offer your business to somebody in your downline. And they make it so clear - they say "if you circumvent any part of this procedure, you are terminated."

so I told the secretary to have the COO call me and we could visit about the situation. And the secretary said that he does not talk to people directly!

And I said well, "Well, he talked to YOU!" So she told me he doesn't return phone calls, doesn't talk to any reps directly.

I was stunned. I sat in my chair thinking, "Wow! This is unbelievable!" Now this guy wants to talk to me to find out why I am telling people to read their policies and procedures. Now that was amazing.

P.S. - Have you read YOUR P & Ps lately?

7 Steps To Achieving Your Goals - very effective

2010-05-12T13:59:00.000-07:00

Most people set goals - which they never achieve.

Why? What is the difference between people who set goals and reach them, and the people who set goals and never come close?

I see a few differences:

1. You've got to have a really big dream, one that totally captures your imagination, that truly inspires you.

2. Choose a model, someone who has done what you want to do. Study every aspect of that person, their skills, their resources, and what they have achieved, so you understand what it takes.

3. Write down every detail of that dream, no matter how trivial it may seem. The more detail you can picture in your mind, the closer you get to your dream becoming reality.

4. Spend time each day picturing your exact dream. After you have built your dream picture, it doesn't take but 3-5 minutes a day to focus completely on it. That action will drive you to your dream's achievement.

5. Focus every action in your day on making some part of your dream a reality.

6. Wherever fear or doubt enter the picture, step right into them. Do whatever it is you fear, over and over, so it no longer looms as a stop on your dream.

7. Never ever ever quit.

We have personally found these steps to be very effective.

Network Marketing Online - A Few Tips

2010-05-11T07:34:00.000-07:00

First of all, you've got to have a direct splash page for your #1, #2 and #3 selling MLM products. And please don't put a business opportunity attached to the splash page. You will literally drive people away from you.

People love to buy a product, but they don't want to be sold. They absolutely don't want to be sold. Make sure you have company-approved testimonial pages, so network marketing distributors don't have to make their own.

The Big Problem

The network marketing company doesn't offer these single product pages to distributors, so now the distributors on their own go out and create this stuff.

They see in the Policies & Procedures that reps are 100% responsible for what they do in building their business. OK. Great.

So the company doesn't STOP you from putting ads out there that this product cures cancer, grows your arm back, grows your hair back and all that stuff. They let reps make these wild claims. Why? Because the product sales are pouring in.

Some guy reads that ad and says, "My gosh! I'm bald. I want to grow my hair back, I better buy the product." Or somebody is dying of cancer, and you advertise your "cure." They say, "I better go get some." So they do.
And then what's amazing is, someone writes the testimonial that it grew their finger back. Then the next guy writes, "Well, it grew my hand back." You have to top that, so the next one says, "It grew my entire arm back - and my leg."
So they do a one-up on each other. The sales are pouring in. Meanwhile, the distributor's neck is on the line, because the company can chop it off it anytime - like as soon as the Federal Government says "Whoa! Hey, you guys are making product claims!"
Now, the company has to show the government that they have been going back and terminating distributors who make these unbelievable claims. Meanwhile, product sales in the company are skyrocketing.

The Company Is Making Tons of Money
So much money. They have to go build another bigger building, so they can be bigger than the next one on the block.

They have to have that. And then the 3rd thing these companies do is, they charge people for their back office. It does not cost them $39 a month for that website. It doesn't cost them FIVE bucks! But they charge the distributors $39 for their whole back office to look at your business center and your genealogy and to organize and so forth.

Companies like that are making $100,000 minimum a month off the distributor's backs. It's another profit center, just charging reps for the stuff.

But the company needs to create the pages, so the distributor won't do it. The company knows better than to put wild claims in there. If they do it, then THEIR neck is on the line. That way, the company is liable, rather than the individual rep.

The only reason to spend your time and your blood, sweat, and tears to build this business is to have it sustain you over your lifetime. Anything that puts you at risk should be eliminated from your gameplan. So be sure YOU aren't the one making wild claims.

Your network marketing success- It's a race against time

Two years ago, a gallon of gas was pushing $3.95 here is the Las Vegas area.

Does that tell you anything about your network marketing success?

Some folks assume that with a secure job and a secure salary, they're playing it safe, reducing their risk in life.

* What if you get laid off?
* What if the price of gas goes up a again? How will that affect you and your employer?
* What if your employer can no longer afford to pay you such a high wage?

These are just 3 of literally thousands of variables that you have no answer for when you work for someone else.

Not to mention your income is always limited because your employer will ALWAYS take the lion's share of the income you generate.

There's been more change in the business world in the past 10 years than in the previous 100 years combined. You are in a race against time to protect yourself and your family from unpredictable coming changes in the work-a-day world that you may not like -

Network Marketing: Figures Don't Lie, But Liars Do Figure

2010-04-19T13:13:00.000-07:00

Advertising copywriters and salespeople are trained to give specific numbers. in order to increase credibility. And that's great, if those numbers have any basis in reality. In network marketing, they often don't.

For example:

Companies say, "We keep 93% of Our people!"

They lie.

Truth: There was an MLM phone company a few years back that had to publicize their retention rate, because they were publicly traded. They're out of business now, so we'll go ahead and mention their name - Excel.

Take a guess. Out of every 100 people Excel signed up, how many were still in the business a year later?

50%? HAH!

25%? As they say in the Hertz commercial, "Not exactly!"

10%? You're getting warm -

Excel's public record showed 6% to 7% retention. That's not 67% - it's 6 to 7% retention!

So you build your network marketing business for a year:

* You buy advertising.

* You do 3-way calls.

* You go to meetings.

* You talk to all your friends & relatives.

* And you wind up recruiting 100 people!

Yippee! You're almost rich.

Well, not exactly. Why? Because what you have left is 6 to 7 people out of 100 (!) still building the MLM.

Ooops - wait - that's not all you've got. You also have:

* Smashed dreams.

* Maxed-out credit cards.

* And probably a LARGE bunch of people who hide when they see you coming!

Whatever you do in network marketing must be duplicatable for the masses. Six to 7% retention is not smart business.

Results like this make it obvious why we coach people to first find a "5-Pillar" company, and then to build relationships with prospects.

Bad Business

It is bad business to recruit someone into an unstable company.

It is bad business to recruit someone before you have built a relationship with them.

When you recruit a person who is your friend into a "5 Pillar" company, the two of you have a commitment to each other and a strong chance for success.

When you try a business relationship without that personal, mutual commitment, or with an unstable company, your chances of failure skyrocket.

MLM pros know how to get things done

2010-03-27T18:20:00.000-07:00

MLM pros know that success requires persistence and hard work. It takes discipline and commitment to success to ALWAYS complete any work that is important and related to their goals.

Sometimes you've got to choose work over fun. (Of course, if THIS work isn't fun, you're not doing it right!) When you get things done, that connects your motivations and your goals. Unfortunately, most of the population would rather watch the reruns of Grey's Anatomy.

If you are truly on the success path, then you will take full responsibility for their actions. You realize that what you are today, and what you will be tomorrow, depends 100% on YOU! Your results come directly from your choices & decisions. You are proactive, and you go the extra mile, using your own resources & abilities - and your team's - to reach your goals.

I come across people who seem to think all they need to do is sign up for an MLM company and they will not have to put any time or effort into their business. There are also people who think their upline is going to do all the hard work for them, and all they have to do is collect the check. If you need help with your mlm I will be there to help you. I will teach and train you the skills needed to be successful in mlm.

The only way to identify an MLM pro is by their results. The world is constantly changing. Nobody stays the same for long. They either get better, or they get worse. The only sensible choice is to work your butt off until you can see the results you want - and then keep working until those results are overwhelming. THEN you'll know you're on stable ground, and it's safe to take some R & R.

Network Marketing / Olympic Gold Medal Success Secret

2010-03-08T12:52:00.000-08:00

EVERY Olympic athlete has a coach. The top ones hire their own personal coach.

Having a coach was (and is) one of the smartest things I have ever done.

A coach keeps you accountable and focused. There are just soooooo many opportunities in life to get sidetracked.

Pro athletes like Tiger Woods, Bobby Bonds, Peyton Manning, Michael Jordan all the big stars, have several coaches. Each coach teaches their own specialty and leadership skills.

How To Choose A Coach

We've been married almost 19 years. If we wanted marriage counselling, would we talk to someone who's never been married? How about someone who's graduated from college with 3 or 4 degrees and never been married? Would I go to someone who's been married for 2 years or 5 years, when I've been married for 19 years? Would I go to someone married 10 years, with no children?

Or would I talk to someone who's been married 30 or 40 years or more and who has raised a couple healthy, happy kids?

Who would you want to get your coaching from? Somebody who has experienced it, or somebody who hasn't?

Many of the coaches today in network marketing have never built an organization. Or they built¬ it 5, 10, 15 years ago, but they can't build it today.

As the old saying goes, "if you can't do, teach."

So these network marketing coaches go out and teach people how to do what they can't do. What they did 10 years ago worked 10 years ago. But it doesn't work today.

So instead of being on the cutting edge of technology and learning (and USING!) the state-of-the-art in network marketing business-building, they¬ hold themselves up as a coach!

I've even seen one coach who shows you his huge downline geneology. If you look closely, you'll notice it's from 12 years ago. He hasn't done anything since.

If you're going to be coached, you want to be coached by somebody who is doing it NOW, someone who is active today.

It's crazy, but there are even¬ "coaches" who promote it as a virtue that they no longer do network marketing. They'll tell you this lets them be objective. They'll tell you that you don't need to worry about them recruiting you into some other business.

Here is the truth: there's a lot more money in network marketing than there is in coaching - IF you can actually do network marketing, AND you can do the coaching anyway, while you're building your business.

So why isn't this person in network marketing anymore?

Easy. It's because they can't do it. Plain and simple, they can't build it.

It is completely insane to choose as your coach someone who is not currently successful at network marketing. You are being ripped-off, plain and simple.

We've even talked to a couple of these "unbiased" network marketing coaches who actually don't like network marketing. They don't believe in it. Yet they will gladly take your money to coach you to success in network marketing!

One more thing - 90% of these coaches tell you that YOU have to change. They say you have to get out of your comfort zone, become this "A" type personality. And THAT is the reason it doesn't work.

Those "A" personalities can go out and do anything and be successful at it. But 92% of the world can't do that. And when you go out there telling them they have to change, it's no wonder there's such a high failure rate in network marketing.

Here's what we think:

1. You're perfect just the way you are.

2. You need belief in yourself, belief in the business.

3. Learn some skills.

4. Take action.

And to coach somebody in network marketing, the biggest thing they need coaching on is their belief. They don't believe in the industry, their company, or themselves.

Most top business people have (or once had) a true mentor, someone who's done it before and knows what to do. The person with a mentor has a big advantage. We would be honored to be YOUR mentor, no matter what company you are in.

As your coach, we will believe in YOU until you can believe in yourself!

"Be A Mentor With A Servant's Heart!"

Two words that scream "Network Marketing Scam"!

2010-03-02T17:30:00.000-08:00

There are two words that scream " Network Marketing Scam"!

Word #1: probably the biggest scam ever run on people in MLM network marketing is the powerline.

The worst thing you can ever do building your business is to create fear of loss. It's the worst way to build your business. Oh, yes, it definitely works - to get people in. But you have a totally false business, because you've got a bunch of people, and none of them ever does anything.

Word #2: Many companies that do a powerline - or even a binary or a matrix - focus their promotion talk on spillover. Now, I have met people who have gotten spillover, definitely. BUT - none of the people that were spilled over on them ever did anything! Why?

Because the promise of "spillover" creates a welfare mentality. What happens when you tell people, "Oh, get in NOW, and you are going to get spillover!"

They're afraid of losing something for nothing. So they do get in now - and then they sit and wait for all that spillover to make them rich.

Isn't That A Wonderful Business Plan?

It's like joining a binary because you can get a position that already has $1 million volume in the strong leg. The reality is, you don't make a dime, unless you build the weak leg, But people get so worked up about losing that "$1 million position", they join - and never do anything, and never earn any income.

So never forget those words, powerline & spillover. Anytime you see them, their purpose is to promote the welfare mentality. Something for nothing, something for nothing, something for nothing.

The fact is, you are in network marketing. Network marketing is a business that takes work. It's net-work marketing, ok? it's not net-free marketing. It's not net-spillover marketing. It's not net-zero marketing, it takes work. Anything you do that promotes the "something for nothing" mindset will not work. End of story.

But you will draw in a bunch of couch potatoes who are convinced that you are going to build it for them. Matter of fact, you can even give them your bank account number, and you'll just pass the money directly to their account. They don't have to leave the couch. They can stay on the couch, drink their beer and watch a football game. No problem.

Use Those Two Words As A Tip

Whatever company or whatever distributor is saying them to you, that is not the company or the person you want to depend on long-term. They will not be successful. Keep on looking. There are lots of good companies & MLMers out there. Keep looking, and you'll find the right mentor.

If you are currently looking for a coach and mentor to help you get the skills needed to find a good network marketing company to build for long term success we would be happy to help.

The Network Marketing "Spillover" Myth

2010-03-01T12:43:00.000-08:00

A caller recently told me he's joining an MLM company because they promised him spillover. I said, "They are lying to you!"

The guy called me back later and said, "I point-blank asked them if I'd get people put underneath me, and the guy said, ëWell, we can't guarantee that.'"

Spillover - Creating a Welfare Mentality

Good people don't want welfare. They want to build it themselves. They just want to learn the skills they need to build this business and create residual income, money that's coming in week after week, year after year, and they can will it to their children's children.

When you look at a lot of network marketing websites, you often see that word "spillover." The proposition, more or less, is, "get in now, today, and you'll get all this spillover."

In 27 years, I have never, ever, ever seen anybody get spillover, having somebody build it for them.

And if you look closely at the compensation plans of the companies that promote spillover, you'll find out that those who get spillover usually don't get paid on it. There are other hoops to jump through to get paid on that spillover, and these people rarely ever qualify.

So it's the person who actually does the work who gets the pay¶ what a novel idea!

Companies & reps use "spillover" as a tool to drag in people who think they can build a business without doing any work. In other words, no sponsoring, no recruiting. It targets that type of person.

When You Say "Spillover", You Are Targeting Quitters!

When you see a network marketing company that promotes spillover on their website, they're looking for welfare-minded people. The problem for you is, you can't build with these people, unless YOU do all the work! That's what they expect. And when you don't build their business, they'll be off somewhere else, looking for a better welfare plan.

So really, when you or your company promote spillover, you are targeting people who will not be with you long-term. And in network marketing, that makes absolutely no sense. The failure rate will be 100%.

And Here's Why The Leads You Buy Tell You To Go Pound Sand!

The quickest way to build a huge list is to offer the moon and require nothing (no money, no work, no purchase) in return. You'll see companies promoting "we've signed up more people faster than anybody else in the history of network marketing." Problem is, there's nobody ordering any product. It's just a bunch of names on a list - but now they can call these people "network marketers."

Then they turn around and sell this huge database of worthless names (an "MLM geneology list") For $10,000 each to 10 different list brokers. BAM! That's $100,000 profit! And then the list brokers sell these "leads" to all the people in network marketing who want to build their business - including YOU!

So you pay $2-$3 a lead for these people, you call them up, and they tell you, "Hey! You‚Äôre nuts! I've never been in network marketing!" They don't even know what it is. They just opted in to some pie-in-the-sky list, hoping to get something for nothing.

Conclusion? Run like heck from any company focused on "spillover" - and ALWAYS generate your own leads.

How To Handle Some Tough Prospect Questions

2010-02-21T06:42:00.000-08:00

Several people have asked questions recently....and the question is, 'how to handle some tough prospect questions.'

Most important, you need to understand that we, personally, do not get asked these kind of questions, because we do not target these kinds of people for our business. we don't talk to people who don't believe in network marketing.

It's crucial to your success that you target market. Target the people who already believe in network marketing. Offer them the Success In 10 Steps ebook. And when someone raises their hand for more information, they will NEVER ask you questions like these.

OK. The reality is, not everyone is going to do that. And they will get some tough questions like

THIS is how success works. You cannot slam people into your MLM business and have any hope of long-term success. Period.

The best way to target market is to use the pro version of the Mentoring For Free system that we have devised. Many individuals are using this system to successfully build their own network marketing business.

Question #1: "How much money did you make in your business?"

So we do coach people on how to answer questions like this. And your response to this question should always be, "I don't have a clue. I haven't finished collecting it all yet."

See, you never know how much of an ongoing ripple effect you'll get from what you did yesterday and the day before. How can you know how much money you're going to make when you sponsor somebody into your business?

Today, you're making $5 a week. Next month, You're making $50 a week. And the following month, you're making $500 a week - all from the business-building efforts of that one person you signed up today.

MLM is a business that will pay you a lot next year, and 5 years from now, and 20 years from now - for work you did today. The person asking you this question does not understand the amazing phenomena of getting paid every week for work you did 10 years ago.

Question #2: You've just started in network marketing and the person asks, "If this company you're promoting is so great, then why aren't you making any money from it?"

Again, this question comes from a person who does not understand or believe in network marketing. And so here you are, in the impossible position of trying to convince this person.

Building any business takes some time to build a network of customers buying your products. Someone says, "Well, a couple years ago, this guy online sold $1 million of a product the first day he offered it."

And that's true. But what you lose sight of is that his "opening day" was in the planning stages for many months, as he lined up dozens and dozens of internet marketers - each of whom had a list of thousands of subscribers - to promote his product.

f you trace that "$1 Million Day" to its origin, it goes back many years, to when all these component lists were being built.

s it possible to make a profit immediately, from your first day? Sure. But you get the greatest network marketing rewards by training others to move your products - a result which will show up big in future paychecks.

Question #3: "Someone likes my company, but would rather join under a Heavy Hitter who knows what they're doing. How should I respond?"

The problem with joining under a Heavy Hitter is, most of them don't have time to talk to you. They don't have time to help you build your business. Many of them - you'd be astonished to learn just how many - were actually GIVEN most of their organization by the company, to "prove" how big a person can build. And many Heavy Hitters are hard-core salespersons. They do stuff you & I could never do in our wildest dreams (and still sleep at night!).

Heavy Hitters are not into hand-holding. When you sign up with them, they expect you to get to work and build. If you don't, no problem, there are a hundred others waiting in line behind you to join with a Heavy Hitter.

If you need any kind of coaching, mentoring, or training, most Heavy Hitters will never do that. They consider you "dead wood." You're in their way, and you need to be swept aside, in favor of someone who already knows what to do.

As we coach people to be successful, we focus on how you need to build a relationship with people. You can't ask them to join your business before you have a real relationship with them. It will not work. And if you're getting Question #3, then you are talking to people with whom you have NOT built a relationship.

If you're not building a relationship with them, you got no chance. A friend would never choose some "Heavy Hitter" over you. If you're having that problem, you need to learn the "Colors" technology and focus on making a friend first. That strategy works long-term, it's easily taught, and it's something anyone can do.

When you target the market and then talk to people who raise their hand, you will not get these kinds of questions.

Question #4: "I don't have much money to drive around town looking for prospects. How can I conentrate my efforts to expose people to my MLM Business?"

The problem here is, your upline has got you driving around, trying to pounce on people and slam them into your business.

Network marketing is a relationship business. You should be target-marketing online. It doesn't cost any gasoline money to do that. You need to:

1. Target your ideal market.

2. Get the right people to raise their hand.

3. Build a relationship with them.

4. And when the timing is right for them to be in business, they will call you.

We hope this helps you understand how to handle some tough prospect questions.

If YOU have a question, just click here and I'll be happy to answer it!

THE KISS OF DEATH IN NETWORK MARKETING

2010-02-12T22:12:00.000-08:00

Every time we have ever seen a company or downline explode and go away, it does so because of the same 2 reasons: GREED and EGO.

True leaders are the Mentors with the servant's heart. It's never about the money. No Money Focus = No Greed. Build people and people will build the business.

People are people. They are not a number. They have goals, dreams & desires. Network marketing is not a sales business. Network marketing is a teaching & mentoring business. So the track record & attitude of leadership is critical.

When you've joined a business and someone calls you, telling you to make a list of your friends & family, I can promise you that they do not have a system. "Friends & family" is what has been puked downline for the last 50 years, and that is the reason for such high failure rates in MLM.

It's Really All About Target Marketing

You've got to find people who will raise their hand, looking for you and/or your product, your service, your opportunity.

Too often, somebody calls you up, pitching you. They don't even know who you are. They don't care who you are. They don't care anything about you.

I've heard certain network marketing leaders say, "It's a relationship business." And many of these people have never built a relationship with anybody. Nobody on their team would want to go on a one-month cruise with them.

Some "Leaders" Don't Even Want To Be Around Their People At Convention!

Why? It's all about the greed & the ego. The fancy watch, fancy jewelry, fancy suit, exotic cars, being the superstar, all that stuff.

Do they ever help the person who's been squashed by life? Do they ever pay for the next guy going through the toll gate? Do they ever just freely give their time to mentor others, expecting nothing in return? Do they ever use their income to buy good tools for those in their group who are obviously trying to build?

No, they don't.

Instead, it's always about greed & ego, me, me, me. It's never about the other person.

You truly have to care about people. And then you won't have the greed and the ego. And THAT is the kind of person who can build huge in network marketing, because you will attract people just like you!

Does your company have a 1 year business plan or a 100 year business plan?

2010-02-06T11:39:00.000-08:00

Everybody knows that you have to be "ALL IN" with your business, your marriage, your family, and in the case of the Minnesota Vikings your football team. There is no success the other way.... We all would agree that you can’t be "Half in the ball game either". I have been watching the NFL Playoffs this season ,and I noticed that the Indianapolis Colts are "All IN". I was very impressed by their aggressive style of play during this years playoffs. I was very dissapointed by the Minnesota Vikings because their players weren't "ALL IN"( they kept dropping balls like hot potatoes). The only person on that team who was "ALL IN"( Brett Favre the quarterback). It just doesn’t work that way does it? If you want success, you have to be ALL IN. Not half way in. The same goes for your network marketing business.

I have just one question for you?

Does your company have a 1 year business plan or a 100 year business plan?

Listen to this recording and find out the secret to the 100 year business plan.

Use "Success In 10 Steps" To Boost Your Confidence

2009-11-09T17:17:00.000-08:00

A lot of what determines success or failure is NOT the obvious stuff that you see and are concerned with.

Studies have shown that whether you're talking to someone on the phone, or in person, their impression of you & what you say is based ONLY ABOUT 8% on the words you use!!

The other 92% is your body language and the sound & qualities of your voice. I'm sure it's easy for you to understand that if you sound uncertain, no one is going to follow you. To be successful, you must sound and look like you know exactly what you are doing.

That is one of the reasons that this blog is so useful to you. The more time you spend learning about the intricacies of Success In 10 Steps, the more certainty you will have when you talk to a prospect. And as you study & gain the ability to direct them to a specific page that answers their question, you look to them like someone who really knows what they are doing.

And when they see you that way, it's a big key to their desire to work with you.
This is something you just cannot afford to shortcut. So open a new text file. Read Success In 10 Steps again, and take notes by chapter. Write down what strikes you as really memorable, really useful, and note the page it's on. Talk about it out loud. Tell what you really like. Again, write down your notes.

The better you get at this, the more confident you will sound when you speak with a prospect. When they can hear in your voice that you are certain you know what you're talking about, you are in good shape.

To build your own big income in M-L-M, the people you sponsor will need a constant stream of hot pr0spects. I can help you do that for them, and for yourself.

How do I know if my company has integrity?

2009-10-10T14:01:00.000-07:00

Our afternoon Leaders call yesterday was full of powerful information about why you need to read your company Policies & Procedures.

The #1 feature you must have in place for success:

Company management experience with integrity.

How do I know if my company has integrity?

The answer is simple: read your company Policies & Procedures. If you can't find them on the website, it's a big red flag. Some companies say you can't read them until after you join. BIG RED FLAG

Why are they ashamed of their P&Ps? Why don't they want you to read them? The P&Ps are YOUR contract to be in business with them - written by the company lawyers! Every time any distributor ever gets a termination letter, it says, "You have violated the Policies & Procedures." They never say you violated "Terms & Conditions." It's always "Policies & Procedures."

Most reps never actually read their P and P's. You need to do it ... it may really open your eyes. At least you'll know exactly what to look for and how to protect yourself.

Now go and read your policies and procedures.

Mastering The #1 Most Important Network Marketing Skill

2009-09-16T10:36:00.000-07:00

Why do some people succeed in network marketing, while others never do?

If I've heard this question once, I've heard it a thousand times.

And the answer that keeps coming up over and over again is, successful people made the effort to understand what really makes people tick - what motivates them - why they make the choices they make.

That is what first led me into the personality studies.

400 years before Jesus Christ, the Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates wrote about the four basic personality types.

In 1921, Dr. Carl Jung wrote the most detailed book ever on this subject. He called the 4 personality types Feeler, Sensor, Thinker, and Intuitive.

Florence Littauer later named them Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Melancholy, and Choleric.

Years later, Jerry Clark made it easy - he tagged the personality types by color: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow

Many experts have written books and recorded audiotapes on the subject, including

Michael O'Connor
Kathryn Briggs
Dr. Tony Alessandra
Jim Cathcart
Tim Lahaye
Dr. Bernice McCarthy
Jerry Clark

My personal thanks to all who have contributed to the personality-type knowledge base. Their research & conclusions are the basis for our mentor training

Color To Success

I know of no other subject that when used correctly can have such a positive impact on your life and your business.

This stuff works. Best of all, it works fast.

People fall asleep when you say "phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholy and choleric". But they understand Red, Blue, Green & Yellow. And you can easily learn to color your way to the top

A Concept That Changed My Life

I can't even begin to tell you how different my life is since learning how to spot and work with each of these Color personalities.¬ "Color To Success" is the most popular, most life-changing training we do.

Maybe the biggest change is this: to spot these personalities, you must LISTEN to people! And wonderful things seem to happen when you actually listen.

Everyone is a blend of all these Colors. Personally, I'm 40% Blue, 30% Green, 20% Red, & 10% Yellow. But I've learned to be a chameleon to deal with people.

The Key To Success With 70% of Your Prospects

Used to be when I came across a Green (and they are 35% of the population!), I saw someone who took forever to make a decision. They'd analyze it to death

They drove me crazy. So I'd blow them off. I wouldn't even return their phone calls

But look at this - I was losing 35% of my prospects! And when a Green joins, they never quit. They're not like the Blues. You can put a Blue in the business tonight, but they'll never do anything. They'll never even activate their business. They'll just join, because they thought it would be fun.

But the Blues will put you in contact with a lot of good people.

So the biggest secret for me was learning that network marketing is not a sales business. It's a teaching & mentoring business. No wonder the Yellows & the Greens are so good at MLM. AND combined, they make up 70% of the population!

I've discovered that it's critical to let the Yellows & the Greens know that their network marketing struggles are not their fault. The cards have been stacked against them. The Reds have been telling everybody the whole time that it's a sales business. Sell, sell, sell

But MLM success has NOTHING to do with selling. It has EVERYTHING to do with teaching, training, coaching, and mentoring people

You Can Use This Training To Automatically Bond With Anyone!

This technology will connect you with the deepest desires and needs and fears of the people you set out to bond with. It won't be long before you actually know these people better than they know themselves.

The sad fact is that most people are too self-absorbed to ever actually use this training. It is worth an absolute FORTUNE to those who do.

When you listen to people and truly understand their personality, you have the ability to help inspire them to greatness. The rewards for you are way more than just financial

On the other hand, if all that matters to you is YOU, you really don't have a prayer in network marketing

For us and for many others, learning the personality color secrets has been a life-changer

This information is a very valuable resource to have when working with people, and it can be used anywhere, not just in network marketing.

I have been able to help a lot of people just by knowing what personality type I am visiting with.

How To Evaluate An Opportunity

2009-09-14T17:38:00.000-07:00

Your Ex-Spouse Was An Optimist
OK. Listen. I’m NOT talking to you here. But
just be still and listen in anyway.

See, I’m talking to the guy who downloaded this e-book right after you. HIS exspouse
told him he probably was being a little unrealistic (not her exact words,
but that’s the gist) pinning his future financial hopes on a company that
promised him:

·He wouldn’t have to work - it would all be done for him.

·He wouldn’t have to actually deal with and recruit any yucky people – his group
would be built automatically through "spillover."

·He wouldn’t have to sell – his people who spilled over would do that.

·He could get rich just by clicking his mouse.

And other than that, all he’d have to do is deposit the checks!

In fact, our boy’s ex-spouse actually went so far as to imply that if a
person is lazy, greedy & gullible, they probably don’t have a bright future
in business.

She was right, of course. But that’s only half the story.

In some cases, it’s actually sincere people who make those offers, because
they’re so afraid nobody will join them if they know there’s actual WORK involved.

When you train people to do nothing but wait for you to do it for them,
you wind up with people who do EXACTLY what you've trained them to do...
nothing!

OK. Enough of that. It doesn’t apply to YOU, anyway. Let’s get on to the evaluation.
This formula has 5 parts. Each is important.

Here they are, in order of “easiest to evaluate.”

It Just SEEMS Like Brain Surgery

People ask me all the time,
"Michael! What is the BEST compensation plan?
Here's my answer.

The best comp plan has 2 key features:

1. It works "with" the numbers (I'll get to these in a minute)
2. Average people (part-timers) can build & prosper. (The vast majority in your
group will be average people).

Most network marketers are doomed from the get-go because the compensation
plan they are working does not work with the numbers.

Don't listen to me. Just listen to the numbers.

I used to race dirt bikes. When 59 motorcycles come off a 27-foot high jump,
not one single bike EVER "magically" floats up.

Fifty-nine out of 59 come crashing back to mother earth.
Gravity.
You cannot SEE gravity.
Makes no difference if you like gravity or not. Or if you understand it.

But if you jump motorcycles, you sure better learn to work with it.

In 26 years in network marketing, I’ve learned that you have to become a numbers-
cruncher or die. You may not LIKE the numbers, you may not understand
them.

Doesn’t matter.

The numbers are reality. Either work with them, or sayonara.
So … what are the key network marketing numbers?

1. If you ask virtually any successful network marketer about their success,
they'll tell you most of their income comes from 2 to 3 people in
their group.

I'm not making up that number. I have learned to work with it.

2. MLM industry statistics tell you that "average" distributors sponsor
2.7 people into any home based business in their career.

I'm not making up that number. I have learned to work with it.
Do you see a connection between these two sets of numbers?

Yellows make up 35% of the population. They don't like aggressive people.
Blues make up 15% of the population. They don't like being sold.
Greens make up 35% of the population. They don't like pushy people.
Reds make up 15% of the population. One-third of Reds don't like being sold, either.

3. So 90% of the population, 9 people out of 10, 900 people out of 1000
don't like pushy, aggressive people, or being sold.

I'm not making up that number. I have learned to work with it.

When I call prospects I have 9 out of 10 people 900 people out of 1000 leaning
forward wanting to find out, how I can help them reach their dreams.

This is because I lead with benefits, benefits, benefits,

I NEVER, never sell or close them.

People ask me all the time, "Michael, why do my people just SIT there? Why
don't they DO something?”

Well, brand this MLM truism on your brain:

If you sell or close your people to join your opportunity, you will have to
re-sell them every month to get them to do any work!

Logic & experience will tell you THAT statement is true.

So back to the compensation plan question. Just work with the numbers and
you'll never go wrong.

If the "magic" number that most people sponsor is 3, then any plan wider then 3
will not work for the masses.

Note to the Red “Super Recruiters:” I know, I know. You can sponsor 3 people
a day. Maybe 3 a minute.

The bad news is, you only make up about 3% of the population. Your best bet is
a plan that pays you fast-start money on everyone you personally sponsor and
that also pays leadership bonuses to infinity for unlimited income.

Pay Dirt! Get And Keep your people

2009-09-10T13:30:00.000-07:00

People figure they have a great company, great products, excellent marketing
plan, good skills, proven track record, and on and on … so success in this business
should be like rolling off a log.

And then they get crushed UNDER the log!
Some facets of this business are so obvious, you may take them for granted …
and never actually DO them.

For instance.

We talked earlier about a huge, all-encompassing, powerful “WHY” that will keep
you going in your business, no matter what you come up against.

But you need ANOTHER huge, all-encompassing, powerful “WHY”.
THIS “WHY” is the reason your prospects should choose YOU over all
their other 650 home business options. Your job is to make an impression
on them that they will NEVER forget!

I don’t know your business. I don’t know what advantage YOU offer that puts
you head and shoulders above your competition.
I only know that if you can’t offer that kind of advantage,

You Are ROADKILL!!

You got NO chance.

So to help give you some ideas, I’ll tell you the advantage we offer our
prospects that elevates us above all the competition:

“I’ll provide a lead generation system that brings ONLY the most qualified
people into your group. Then I’ll train them FREE, 5 nights a week,
to build relationships and become Top Sponsors who will build YOU a
lifetime residual income!”
… or the short version:
“I will personally help you get, mentor, and keep your people – for
FREE, 5 nights a week!”

You are certainly welcome to become part of our group and use OUR advantage.
But in any event, you MUST be able to put YOUR focused advantage into a few
words to create a lasting impression and elevate you above all your competition.

“So What?”

There’s a very well-known Direct Marketing guy (See? I DO know some of
them!) who once told me that after he writes an ad, he reads every sentence to
himself and asks,

“So What?”

If he doesn’t have a good answer, that sentence is GONE!

“So What?” is a good benchmark for YOU to use as you build your business. Everything
you plan to do … every sentence you write … ask yourself, “So what?”

In other words …

Am I on-target?

Have I gotten hypnotized by a side-issue and gone off in some time-wasting direction?

Is this piece critical to the final picture?

Does this make sense? Can other people follow it?

“So what?” will help you execute.

You’ll learn to be surgical in focusing on what’s important.
You’ll get rid of much of the clutter in your life.
It will help you define your competitive advantage.

I strongly recommend it.

Network Marketing: Figures Don't Lie, But Liars Do Figure

2009-09-09T08:06:00.000-07:00

Advertising copywriters and salespeople are trained to give specific numbers. in order to increase credibility. And that's great, if those numbers have any basis in reality. In network marketing, they often don't.

For example:

Companies say, "We keep 93% of Our people!"

They lie.

Truth: There was an MLM phone company a few years back that had to publicize their retention rate, because they were publicly traded. They're out of business now, so we'll go ahead and mention their name - Excel.

Take a guess. Out of every 100 people Excel signed up, how many were still in the business a year later?

50%? HAH!

25%? As they say in the Hertz commercial, "Not exactly!"

10%? You're getting warm -

Excel's public record showed 6% to 7% retention. That's not 67% - it's 6 to 7% retention!

So you build your network marketing business for a year:

* You buy advertising.

* You do 3-way calls.
* You go to meetings.
* You talk to all your friends & relatives.
* And you wind up recruiting 100 people!

Yippee You're almost rich.

Well, not exactly. Why? Because what you have left is 6 to 7 people out of 100 (!) still building the MLM.

Ooops - wait - that's not all you've got. You also have:

* Smashed dreams.
* Maxed-out credit cards.
* And probably a LARGE bunch of people who hide when they see you coming!

Whatever you do in network marketing must be duplicatable for the masses. Six to 7% retention is not smart business.

Results like this make it obvious why we coach people to first find a "5-Pillar" company, and then to build relationships with prospects.

Bad Business

It is bad business to recruit someone into an unstable company.

It is bad business to recruit someone before you have built a relationship with them.

When you recruit a person who is your friend into a "5 Pillar" company, the two of you have a commitment to each other and a strong chance for success.

When you try a business relationship without that personal, mutual commitment, or with an unstable company, your chances of failure skyrocket.

It is the truth.

For me personally, I have found building my network marketing business to be fun, and I am in business with people that will be my friends for a life time. I don't just sponsor anyone into my business, I make sure that I have a good connection with the person, and would want to be on a 30 day cruise with them.

LET THE SYSTEM DO THE WORK

2009-09-05T10:14:00.000-07:00

Remember when you first heard, "Sales is a numbers game." Somebody said that to you because you had called 25 people with absolutely no success. What they meant was, "Keep on swinging. Eventually you'll hit one." Unfortunately, they did not have your best interest in mind. They wanted to keep you around a few more weeks before you gave up and they had to train another unknowing suspect.

With this thinking, if you want to make one sale, you've got to make 100 calls. Two sales, 200 calls. The problem with that is if you want to make 10 sales, you've got to make 1000 calls. Who has time to make that many calls? Can you see how this approach can limit you?

I believe in working smarter, not harder. Instead of grunt work, which is what cold prospecting is, wouldn't you rather spend your time talking with qualified prospects that need you and want you to call them?

Why on earth would you willingly spend your time searching under rocks for those people, and then begging them for a few minutes on the phone?

Would you rather be able to follow up with a prospect who has already contacted you and get most of them to spend time with you on the phone?

If you are tired of playing the numbers game and are ready to travel a road less traveled, then the Color To Success Training CD will show you the path.

Network Marketing "Spillover" - The Myth, The Facts

2009-09-03T05:14:00.000-07:00

A caller recently told me he's joining an MLM company because they promised him spillover. I said, "They are lying to you!"

The guy called me back later and said, "I point-blank asked them if I'd get people put underneath me, and the guy said, ëWell, we can't guarantee that.'"
Spillover - Creating a Welfare Mentality

Good people don't want welfare. They want to build it themselves. They just want to learn the skills they need to build this business and create residual income, money that's coming in week after week, year after year, and they can will it to their children's children.

When you look at a lot of network marketing websites, you often see that word "spillover." The proposition, more or less, is, "get in now, today, and you'll get all this spillover."
In 30 years, I have never, ever, ever seen anybody get spillover, having somebody build it for them.

And if you look closely at the compensation plans of the companies that promote spillover, you'll find out that those who get spillover usually don't get paid on it. There are other hoops to jump through to get paid on that spillover, and these people rarely ever qualify.

So it's the person who actually does the work who gets the pay¶ what a novel idea!

Companies & reps use "spillover" as a tool to drag in people who think they can build a business without doing any work. In other words, no sponsoring, no recruiting. It targets that type of person

When You Say "Spillover", You Are Targeting Quitters!

When you see a network marketing company that promotes spillover on their website, they're looking for welfare-minded people. The problem for you is, you can't build with these people, unless YOU do all the work! That's what they expect. And when you don't build their business, they'll be off somewhere else, looking for a better welfare plan.

So really, when you or your company promote spillover, you are targeting people who will not be with you long-term. And in network marketing, that makes absolutely no sense. The failure rate will be 100%.

And Here's Why The Leads You Buy Tell You To Go Pound Sand!

The quickest way to build a huge list is to offer the moon and require nothing (no money, no work, no purchase) in return. You'll see companies promoting "we've signed up more people faster than anybody else in the history of network marketing." Problem is, there's nobody ordering any product. It's just a bunch of names on a list - but now they can call these people "network marketers."

Then they turn around and sell this huge database of worthless names (an "MLM geneology list") For $10,000 each to 10 different list brokers. BAM! That's $100,000 profit! And then the list brokers sell these "leads" to all the people in network marketing who want to build their business - including YOU!

So you pay $2-$3 a lead for these people, you call them up, and they tell you, "Hey! You‚Äôre nuts! I've never been in network marketing!" They don't even know what it is. They just opted in to some pie-in-the-sky list, hoping to get something for nothing.

Conclusion? Run like heck from any company focused on "spillover" - and ALWAYS generate your own leads.

THE HUMAN WINNING MACHINE

2009-08-31T13:49:00.000-07:00

If YOU were your prospect, what would YOU want?

I know what I’d want.

1. When you talked with me, I’d want you to LISTEN first and foremost,
to find out what I really want. I’d need to feel you and I were simpatico.

This is where you must kick butt. Start your relationship-building immediately.
TELL me what you’re doing and WHY you’re doing it, and let me know that part
of your system is to help me build those key relationships.

I want to believe you consider MY success crucial to your life.

Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever. A big part of that was,
he just plain WANTED to win more than the other guys.

You ever watch Jordan the last few minutes of a close game – ANY close
game? He CHANGED!! He’d psyche himself into a zone where he could
virtually do no wrong. He had total disdain for whomever he was playing.

He didn’t just want to beat them. He wanted to EMBARRASS them!

He’d focus on his skills and become a human winning machine.

YOU need the same focus when you talk to your prospect. The ONLY thing that
matters is what your prospect thinks, wants, wishes for, desires and needs.
If I’m your prospect, YOUR entire universe better revolve around me when we
talk. What YOU want doesn’t even exist, as far as I’m concerned. And it shouldn’t
exist for you, either … not when you’re talking to me.

THEN you and I will have an identical viewpoint!

2. I would want you to make a very clear, short, compelling case –
based on what I’ve told you – as to why YOUR opportunity is better for
me than all the competition.

I’d expect you to be able to answer every marketing question I have.

Don’t tap dance around what you don’t know. Know your company resources
well enough to get me to the exact right source (hotlines, web pages, brochures,
etc.) to answer any questions you can’t answer.

3. I would want a simple marketing system that’s inviting, informative,
non-threatening, educational, & fun.

The more complex it is, the less chance I’ll be able to execute. You are in a cutthroat
contest for my time and attention. One of your key weapons in this battle
is simplicity. Making the complex clear is hard work. Few people do it well.

If you can give me all the information I need, clear & organized so I can make a
quick choice, your chances skyrocket.

Plus – it helps YOU work smarter

How To Handle Some Tough Prospect Questions

2009-08-26T09:55:00.000-07:00

Several people have asked questions recently, and I'd like to answer them here.

Most important, you need to understand that I, personally, do not get asked these kind of questions, because I do not target these kinds of people for my business. I don't talk to people who don't believe in network marketing.

It's crucial to your success that you target market. Target the people who already believe in network marketing. Offer them the Success In 10 Steps ebook. And when someone raises their hand for more information, they will NEVER ask you questions like these.

OK. The reality is, not everyone is going to do that. And they will get some tough questions like

Question #1: "How much money did you make in your business?"

So I do coach people on how to answer questions like this. And your response to this question should always be, "I don't have a clue. I haven't finished collecting it all yet."

See, you never know how much of an ongoing ripple effect you'll get from what you did yesterday and the day before. How can you know how much money you're going to make when you sponsor somebody into your business?

Today, you're making $5 a week. Next month, You're making $50 a week. And the following month, you're making $500 a week - all from the business-building efforts of that one person you signed up today.

MLM is a business that will pay you a lot next year, and 5 years from now, and 20 years from now - for work you did today. The person asking you this question does not understand the amazing phenomena of getting paid every week for work you did 10 years ago.

Question #2: You've just started in network marketing and the person asks, "If this company you're promoting is so great, then why aren't you making any money from it?"

Again, this question comes from a person who does not understand or believe in network marketing. And so here you are, in the impossible position of trying to convince this person.

Building any business takes some time to build a network of customers buying your products. Someone says, "Well, a couple years ago, this guy online sold $1 million of a product the first day he offered it."

And that's true. But what you lose sight of is that his "opening day" was in the planning stages for many months, as he lined up dozens and dozens of internet marketers - each of whom had a list of thousands of subscribers - to promote his product.

If you trace that "$1 Million Day" to its origin, it goes back many years, to when all these component lists were being built.

Is it possible to make a profit immediately, from your first day? Sure. But you get the greatest network marketing rewards by training others to move your products - a result which will show up big in future paychecks.

Question #3: "Someone likes my company, but would rather join under a Heavy Hitter who knows what they're doing. How should I respond?"

The problem with joining under a Heavy Hitter is, most of them don't have time to talk to you. They don't have time to help you build your business. Many of them - you'd be astonished to learn just how many - were actually GIVEN most of their organization by the company, to "prove" how big a person can build. And many Heavy Hitters are hard-core salespersons. They do stuff you & I could never do in our wildest dreams (and still sleep at night!).

Heavy Hitters are not into hand-holding. When you sign up with them, they expect you to get to work and build. If you don't, no problem, there are a hundred others waiting in line behind you to join with a Heavy Hitter.

If you need any kind of coaching, mentoring, or training, most Heavy Hitters will never do that. They consider you "dead wood." You're in their way, and you need to be swept aside, in favor of someone who already knows what to do.

As we coach people to be successful, we focus on how you need to build a relationship with people. You can't ask them to join your business before you have a real relationship with them. It will not work. And if you're getting Question #3, then you are talking to people with whom you have NOT built a relationship.

If you're not building a relationship with them, you got no chance. A friend would never choose some "Heavy Hitter" over you. If you're having that problem, you need to learn the "Colors" technology and focus on making a friend first. That strategy works long-term, it's easily taught, and it's something anyone can do.

When you target the market and then talk to people who raise their hand, you will not get these kinds of questions.

Question #4: "I don't have much money to drive around town looking for prospects. How can I conentrate my efforts to expose people to my MLM Business?"

The problem here is, your upline has got you driving around, trying to pounce on people and slam them into your business.

Network marketing is a relationship business. You should be target-marketing online. It doesn't cost any gasoline money to do that. You need to

1. Target your ideal market.

2. Get the right people to raise their hand.

3. Build a relationship with them.

4. And when the timing is right for them to be in business, they will call you.

THIS is how success works. You cannot slam people into your MLM business and have any hope of long-term success. Period.

The best way to target market is to use the pro version of the Mentoring For Free system that we have devised. Many individuals are using this system to successfully build their own network marketing business.

Your REAL MLM Goal

2009-08-20T09:12:00.000-07:00

Let's be brutally honest. Your purpose in MLM is to make money. Your purpose is NOT:

to save the world

to bring peace and love to all of mankind

If you can generate strong, targeted MLM leads for you and your team, you have a real chance at success. If not, you have no shot.

I'd love to hear the results YOU have had with "Success In 10 Steps", or with any other MLM leads system. Please leave a comment on this post.

MLM Sponsoring Secrets - A Proven, Tested 5-Step System

2009-08-16T09:55:00.000-07:00

To grow your network marketing business you need to do:

1. Targeted lead generation

2. Automated prospect follow-up

3. One-on-one relationship building

4. Sponsoring and

5. Training

If you have a single system to perform all these functions, so much the better. If your MLM company or upline group does not provide system(s) to accomplish these targets, you absolutely have to set them up yourself. But it's a lot easier to go someplace where they understand these MLM sponsoring secrets and already have an established, tested & proven system.

Let me tell you a bit about each aspect of the sponsoring system that I use.

1. Targeted lead generation. Why do you want to build the dream for somebody else? How do you think you're ever going to make somebody have a dream? You only want to talk to people who ALREADY have the dreams, the goals, the desire to be successful.

Don't put yourself in the position where you have to convince somebody to get up off the couch, turn off the TV, quit watching the football game and drinking beer. Leave those people alone. They need to do that stuff. We need people in our lives and in this world who do that. Let them do that.

ONLY talk to people who have the goals, dreams, desires. These are the warriors. These are the people who will build the business, no matter what. Target THOSE people. Then your business will be fun & exciting. You'll have massive duplication when you work with targeted people.
How do you find them?

You want a lead generation system that brings you ONLY the most qualified people. A lead who is a reader is far more likely to have long-term network marketing success than most other leads you get. That is who you must target.

How? You promote a website that has only one objective: capture contact information. So when a visitor comes to your site, their only options are signing up or leaving. And you do your best to make them an offer they cannot refuse. I prefer to offer a great ebook because, again, Leaders are Readers.

2. Automated prospect follow-up. The secret in network marketing is following up with people. People are busy. Our lives are busy. It's best to have an automated email system going out to these prospects. You need one written by a professional copywriter who knows how to tweak the mind, answer questions, create a relationship in print. You want your automated follow-up to create a relationship with ad copy.

It's mandatory that you have a system in place to follow-up with people automatically, so you don't have to do it. Because guess what?
You might be on vacation, on a company-sponsored, company paid-for, week-long trip to Italy. You need an automated follow-up system.

3. One-on-one relationship building: your most important MLM sponsoring secret. Network marketing is a relationship business. You want to sponsor them one at a time and bring them in one at a time
.
The only way you can do that is to build a one-on-one relationship with those people.

I've seen organizations come online and they sponsor, sponsor, sponsor, recruit, recruit, recruit, using some downline building system. But none of those people ever upgrade, none of those people ever buy product, because there's no relationship. If you ever tried to call one of those people and say, "Hey, I'd like to visit with you -", they won't even return a phone call.
So it's most important to have relationships when you're building the business. They've got to know that you care.

This step is crucial, so we're constantly training people to do it. I do a live, generic MLM "relationship-building" training call 5 nights a week. No company is EVER mentioned on these calls. No products are EVER discussed.

You'll get to listen in while I work with other callers, talking to their leads, too. You can bring your lead phone numbers to that call, if you want, and we'll call them together. You‚Äôll hear exactly what to say. We‚Äôll establish that they‚Äôre definitely looking for a good way to make extra money from home. Then we‚Äôll set a time for you to call them back to talk more in depth about YOUR opportunity.
And I promise you, if you build people, then people will build your business.

4. Sponsoring. Wow! I love that word, "sponsoring." See, I take that word differently than most people. Why?
Because I take YOUR success personally.

When I'm your sponsor, I'm your sponsor for life. I'm 54 years old. And in 50 years or so, I'll be going to your funeral, or you'll be going to mine. If I'm your sponsor, that is the way it is. You & I will be in business together the rest of our lives.

So wouldn't you rather sponsor people that you want to associate with? My mentor told me, "Only sponsor people that you'd want to go on a 1-month cruise with."
Wow! How important is that? Don't just sponsor somebody who can fog a mirror. ONLY sponsor people who you really want to build a business with.

5. Training. Absolutely the lifeblood of your business is teaching, training, coaching & mentoring new people on how to do network marketing.
You'd better have a team website. You'd better have a step-by-step Action Plan. You've got to train them.

They need to learn the skills of how to do MLM. That's critical in the training process. You can train a dog. But for people, you have to teach them the skills they need to do this business.

Ninety-two per-cent of the world's population is sales resistant. They don't like to sell, don't like to be sold. So don't waste your time studying about the superduper elixir drink, where the ingredients are scraped off the rock by blind leprechauns every other full moon. Don't study the product ingredients.

Study people. Learn our "Color To Success" training. You'll learn how to listen to people, and you will own your business, and you will own your life

WHAT MAKES A LEADER?

2009-08-09T10:03:00.000-07:00

How often have you had someone talk you into an opportunity and you found that there was no one there to give you guidance? Who's in charge here? Where are the leaders to help you understand what works and what doesn't work? If there are leaders, why are they having me do all their testing?
Leadership is a key element to success in any venture, organization, and government. The challenge is getting good leadership. However, while good leadership can get you started, you really want leadership who will take you by the hand and hang on with you until you are ready to leave the nest.

M-L-M Frustration Causes Success

2009-08-08T10:00:00.000-07:00

Frustrated?
A big reason for the effectiveness of "Success In 10 Steps" is THAT word. The eb00k answers the questions of frustrated netw0rk mar*keters - who REALLY want their questions answered. It's eating away at them, why they just haven't made it big. They are so darned - frustrated!

I recommend you use that word in your advert1sing for "Success In 10 Steps." Use it when you talk to your leades. Pound, pound, pound on "frustrated." That word is worth its weight in gold.

Things change over time. It may not always be this way. But it definitely is true now. M-L-Mers are frustrated, and they want answers now. Use that knowledge when you advert1se to them and when you talk with them.

To build your own big income in M-L-M, the people you sponsor will need a constant stream of hot pr0spects. http://www.helpfulnetworker.com/ I can help you do that for them, and for yourself.

THE BOY THAT DANCED IN THE RAIN

2009-07-30T10:26:00.000-07:00

Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes, and a tightening of the joints which left him crippled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, "I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he'd get it." By his second birthday, he was playing requests (You Are My Sunshine, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star). His father was ecstatic. "We might not play baseball, but we can play music together."

Today, Patrick is a junior at the University of Louisville. His father attends classes with him and he's made nearly all A's, with the exception of 3 B's. He's also a part of the 214 member marching band. You read it right...the marching band! He's a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father do it together. They attend all the band practices and the half-time performance in front of thousands. His father rolls and rotates his son around the field to the cheers of Patrick's fans. In order to attend Patrick's classes and every band practice, his father works the graveyard shift at UPS. Patrick said..."My dad's my hero."

Now, I am trying to wipe the tears from my eyes, as this story sent to me by Mac Anderson has just sent chills up my spine. This fine young man was determined to never give up on his dreams. How many of us have given up on our dreams? How many of us have made excuses about why we can't do a project that may seem difficult or challenging?

We all face adversity in our life. However, it's not the adversity, but how we react to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our life. During tough times, do we spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves, or can we feel a little thankful for what we do have?

This story really opened my eyes a lot! I tend to feel sorry for myself when things don't always go the way I want, or when things get a little challenging for me. Next time, I will think of Patrick when the going gets tough.

What will you do next time things get a little tough?

Enjoy your weekend everyone,

GET YOUR PROSPECTS TO START BUILDING THEIR BUSINESS BEFORE THEY JOIN

2009-07-21T12:47:00.000-07:00

Tell your prospect that he must "qualify" to join your
program.

You could say this:

"Mr. Prospect. I don't want you to join my
business if it's not for you. So, before you
make a decision, do this. Come to next week's
opportunity meeting and bring two guests. After
the meeting, see how your guests react. See how
you feel about our business. And then, make a
decision."

Here is what happens.

1.Your prospect feels relaxed. He doesn't have to make
a decision right away.

2.Your prospect will find it easy to bring two guests.
There is no pressure on the guests. They are just
coming to look.

3.Your prospect doesn't feel that he is trying to make
money off his guests. He doesn't pressure them or
himself during the invitation.

4.Now you have three prospects at the opportunity
meeting instead of one prospect.

5.If your opportunity meeting is good, your prospect is
off to a great start. He'll have two potential
distributors ready to go - and more importantly, your
prospect knows that he can invite guests and build a
business. He just did it!

I have actually done this with my own network marketing business, and it works great! The prospect doesn't feel pressured or sold! Network marketing isn't for everyone. Some like it and some don't....and that is why I like this approach. Tom Schreiter gave me this tip that I just shared with you.

Have a great day!

MY MENTOR....THE MOST BRILLANT MARKETER I KNOW

2009-07-16T10:32:00.000-07:00

...Is Tom "Big Al" Schreiter. And let me tell You why.

He travels the world doing his little 2 or 3 hour seminars. He
charges maybe $5 to cover the cost of the room. Sometimes it's free.

Why does he do this?

Because he also owns a network marketing company. And
when he goes to Tampa, Florida, he usually has 2 or 3 leaders
in his company who he meets there. He takes them to dinner.
He buys them lunch. He builds a relationship with them. He
shakes their hand.

You will never ever ever ever ever EVER be able to get
money out of Your pocket and pay for anything when You're
around Tom Schreiter. He's buying You lunch, he's buying
You dinner. If 20 people go, he's buying for everybody.

This has NEVER been a numbers game to Tom Schreiter.
He builds these relationships because he knows a little
secret about network marketing.

Sometime in the history of Your company, they'll put the
label on the products crooked. They'll be back-ordered on
something, because people run the business. There are
imperfections. He knows that.

So he builds a relationship with his people so that when the
labels are crooked, or the bonus check is late, or they back-
order the product... he knows that You won't quit. You
won't quit, because You have that relationship with him. He
makes sure of that personally, one on one.

We do it with our coaching calls. The secret of network
marketing is retention, retention, retention, retention.

This is an excerpt from the book Success in 10 Steps, which was
written by Michael Dlouhy and based on his 30 years of
experience in the network marketing industry.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST A LIFETIME

KEEP YOUR PEOPLE OR DIE!

2009-07-14T08:58:00.000-07:00

To have a chance to build relationships and get that
retention, You must:

1 - Choose a company with consumable products that make a
real difference in the lives of Your people and those they love.
Network marketing is a relationship business, and it's also
a TESTIMONIAL business. For Your people to be
successful with word-of-mouth advertising, they need a strong
testimonial for the products they like.

2 - Offer great value to the end user (And the value YOU offer
includes much more than just Your products), which allows
You to build a very attractive income.

3 - Get to know Your people. Learn what they really want. Help
them formulate their "WHY". Do everything You can to make
them feel so valued and cared for that they'll be forever loyal.
Give them the personal attention, respect & admiration they
deserve.

If Your people see You as a direct Marketing Genius, You're
lost in space.

If they see You as a special, trusted friend
& confidante, You're on the right track.

Of course, there are DMers who do it right.

Joyce Clyde Hall rose from poverty to create & build
Hallmark Cards. In the early 1950's, he started the Hallmark
Hall of Fame, TV's longest running - And BEST - Dramatic
series. The shows are consistently great.

Even the commercials - now branded in our everyday
language as "Hallmark Moments" - touch Your heart.

Hallmark proves that focusing on quality, loyalty and building
relationships are not just the right thing to do... It's
profitable.

This is an excerpt from the book Success in 10 Steps, which was

experience in the network marketing industry.

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

2009-07-12T08:23:00.002-07:00

"The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something."
~Randy Pausch
Randy Pausch was 47 years old when he died from pancreatic cancer. He was, as the Independent of London put it, "the dying man who taught America how to live." His book, The Last Lecture, is an international best-seller and it offers many wonderful lessons about life.

Randy Pausch's "last lecture" was delivered in September 2007, at Carnegie Mellon University, where he taught computer science. The lecture began with him standing before a screen beaming down chilling CT images of tumors in his liver, under the title...The Elephant in the Room. He then said to a stunned audience, "I have about 6 months to live." He said, "I'm really in good shape, probably better shape than most of you," ... dropping to the floor to do push-ups.

He went on to say, "I'm dying and I'm having fun, and I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left." He talked about his childhood dreams and what they had taught him about life. He said, "If you live your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself...your dreams will come to you." Randy Pausch really was a dying man who has taught America how to live. He died on July 25, 2008, but his wisdom, his passion, and his attitude are lasting sources of inspiration for all of us.

The lesson that I have learned from Randy is.... to have fun doing what you love to do. If you aren't having fun then why are you doing it? We all have that one thing we are really good at, and love to do....so go and put your special talents to use here on earth. There is no tomorrow....only today. Randy knew his Why......Why are you here on earth?

MLM FRUSTRATION CAUSES SUCCESS

PEOPLE STILL WANT LOVE AND PASSION

2009-07-06T14:18:00.000-07:00

People haven’t changed even the least little bit.

They still want love. They want passion in their personal lives and their professional lives. They want self-satisfaction & health, security & achievement, freedom & trust, fun & financial independence.

People have wanted these same things for a thousand years, and they’ll still want them a thousand years from now.

The mistakes I see people make in this business astonish me … the wrong directions they take and the worthless busywork they do.

If you want happiness and fortune & fulfillment in your life, if you want a lifetime of luck, you need to create relationships with people. To do that, you need to study people and understand them. If you will only do that, the opportunities you’ll be presented with are endless.

And yet I see so many who want those things … but they study the mold
scraped from under the rock by the monk in the white lab coat at midnight on the 7th night after the full moon.

Hey! You definitely need a remarkable product in this business.

But your product is NOT the magic.

The magic is YOU.
Since I have taken this advice to heart, and started forming relationships with people ,I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. MLM really is about people....not products or companies.
I have built relationships with people who are in other companies, as well as people in my own company, and I can tell you that it is fun to just be friends, and not worry about what company a person is with. I cherish the friendships that I have built.

HERE'S A BIG SECRET FOR ACQUIRING RICHES

2009-07-02T08:55:00.000-07:00

Network marketing is hard and takes a lot of work. Some people sign up to do network marketing and think that they do not have to do any kind of learning or growing, and that magically all this money is going to be coming in quickly. Some people have even told me, "Well it has been six months, and I am not making very much money," or" I've been doing this a whole year and don't have anything to show for it."

Here is my response to anyone who may have a similar situation as the two people above have. You must have a burning desire, and I mean one that keeps you going when the going gets tough....and it does get tough, especially when building a network marketing business.

The second thing I would say is that, you must believe without a doubt that you will possess the money you desire.

I told these two people that we can all program our minds for whatever riches we truely desire by doing the six simple steps. 1) Writing down the exact amount of money you desire. 2) Determine what you will give in return because there is no such thing as something for nothing. 3) Set an exact date when you want to recieve such riches. 4) Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire. ( I have found that this step is the one that some people have the hardest time with). 5) Write out a clear, concise statement of the money you intend to acquire with the name and time limit for its acqusition, and state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it. Read this statement aloud, twice daily, once before going to bed, and once in the morning after waking up. As you read....see, feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

This not only works for acquiring riches, but it can be used to attain any goal that one may have.

These steps are very simple to do, and they are also simple not to do. Yes, acquiring riches does take some work, and if I chose not to do these six steps, then I have only myself to blame for not aquiring the riches that I desire.

I challenge you to do these six steps for acquiring riches.

OK....WHY ARE YOU REALLY DOING NETWORK MARKETING?

2009-06-29T13:36:00.000-07:00

A new business is always a risk. People risk to avoid pain, or to achieve pleaseure. ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS MAY HELP YOU FIND YOUR "WHY".

1. What gets you REALLY excited?
2. How many hours a week do you work?
3. What do you LOVE about your job?
4. What do you HATE about your job?
5 What do you do with your free time?
6 If you had 2 months vacation and all the money you wanted, what would you do?
7.How do you like the people you work with?
8.What problem scares you to death that more money could solve?
9.If you had all the money you needed, what HUGE problem would go away?
10.If you had all the TIME in the world to do anything you wanted, what would you do?
11.Other than money, what are you looking for?

Your WHY should never be about money. It should be about who YOU really are as a person.

When you die, what are people going to say about you? Are they going to remember that you paid off that Visa bill a week before you died?

When I die, I want to leave behind a legacy for my children and grandchildren. What is the legacy you ask? It is service to others without expecting anything in return. I wake up in the morning and live my life that way. I mentor and coach people for free five days a week and don't ever ask anything in return.

I challenge anyone who reads this to dig down deep and write out your WHY.

I BROKE A MIRROR

2009-06-28T16:13:00.000-07:00

This morning I went to the dollar store and bought a medium size mirror. I brought it home and unwrapped it and took it out to the trash dumpster to break it, so there would be no mess in my kitchen.

When I got to the dumpster I noticed that there were a few others throwing away their trash, and so I slammed the mirror against the dumpster and it made a loud crackling noise. Immediatly three people turned back to see what had happened, and the look on their faces when they noticed that I had purposly broke a mirror was priceless. I just turned, smiled and started cleaning up the pieces from the broken mirror. The three ladies just turned, and began conversing in spanish....I am sure they were talking about me. I turned back and told them to have a nice day, and went back inside my house.

Breaking the mirror was actually fun for me. I felt fantastic after I broke that mirror because I know that I am not a superstitious person. I have chosen to live in the 7 positive emotions which are faith, desire, love, sex, enthusiasm, romance, and hope. My mentor Michael Dlouhy has added a eighth positive emotion and that is prosperity. I challenge anyone who reads this to live in the 7 positive emotions and see how it changes your life.

YOUR WARM MARKET HAS ICE IN THEIR VEINS

2009-06-22T13:17:00.000-07:00

Your warm market has ice in their veins.

A nailed "why" can save your life.

Most people have a huge problem when they decide to improve their situation in life. That problem is one or more of the people closest to you will NOT want to see you succeed.

This is a FACT for virtually everyone on this planet, and you are no different. You can argue with me until you're blue in the face, but that won't change anything.

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE WHO WILL BE THREATENED WHEN YOU MAKE A PASSIONATE PUSH TO SUCCESS. THEY WILL COMPLAIN AND CRITICIZE AND TRY TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.

Why? Because THEIR life is a mess and misery truly does love company.

Your best option is to get rid of them. Next best is to have an AMAZING "WHY", A 99.9% "WHY", that will keep you going through rain, sleet, snow, flood, pestilence, nuclear, holocaust, or the criticism of a "loved" one.

So why is it critical you do THIS business? And why is it critical that you succeed?

You must make your WHY about YOU, and it can't be about money. If all you are doing is chasing money, then you will spend the rest of your life chasing money.

You WHY must be personal, and big enough to keep you going when you don't feel like picking up the phone.

Here is a little bit of my my WHY, and yes it is personal.

The reason I am doing this is because of family. All my married life, we have been living paycheck to paycheck. Heck, we have even been homeless, and forced to live in someone else's house...five of use in one small bedroom.

My second reason for doing this is I never want to be a burden on my children in the future. I never want to ask my kid's for rent money. I can see the look in my daughter's face when she has to wait for a new pair of jeans. Imagine me trying to ask her for help when I am to old to work...no way I want that to happen.

The third reason is I want to build my own home. I want to have a place for my kids and their kids to come and visit and stay too.

I challenge you everyone reading this to find YOUR WHY, and write it down.

The time is now for success,

EVALUATING AN OPPORTUNITY USING THE 5 PILLARS FOR SUCCESS

2009-06-18T15:08:00.000-07:00

In order to evaluate a company using the 5 pillars for success,
I like to compare the 5 pillars to baking an apple pie, because it’s a good word picture most people can understand it. Most people have either baked an apple pie or seen someone bake one or at least enjoyed eating a delicious apple pie. Baking an apple pie is easy, all you need is five key ingrediants....1 a pie plate, 2) a pie crust, 3) some apples,4) sugar and spices to make it taste good, 5) butter or lard so it won’t burn or stick in the oven. Right? Ok.... so let say you and I are talking and laughing and we leave out the sugar and spice. How will our pie turn out? You say , “it won’t turn out right”. Well, a 5 pillars company works the same way, if you are missing any one of the 5 pillars, then you won’t be able to enjoy the success you deserve.” To learn more about this excellent training, and find out what the 5 pillars are please get your free copy of Success in 10 Step at http://ingridcamacho.com/

PENTACLE LEADERSHIP....OH MY HECK, WHAT IS IT?

2009-06-16T09:46:00.000-07:00

You need solid Pentacle Leadership for success. Find a Mentor. You must have a mentor to be a mentor. You want a mastermind group of like-minded people who want YOU to succeed. You want up-line support available when you need it.
Pentacle Leadership means Michael mentoring Tuula, Tuula mentoring Ingrid, Ingrid mentoring James, James mentoring Mark and the people Mark will mentor is endless.

This type of leadership creates your mastermind group.
Want to make a Million Dollars?
Mastermind with Millionaires!

If You want to make $35,000 a year, then mastermind with
people who make $35,000 a year.

Consider this VERY carefully: For most people, their yearly income is the average of their 5 closests friends.
Do YOUR 5 closest friends have what you want? If not, why would you EVER listen to their decisions on business?

Say You want to invest in real estate. Would You ask the
person who rents a home? Or the person with 15 homes, 24
townhouses, 3 farms, one in Oklahoma, one in Texas, and one in Iowa, and 25
commercial properties?

To build a business, why on earth would You listen to people
who've never done it? You've got to evaluate WHO You take
ADVICE from.

Want SUCCESS?? Then You'd better get Your ACTION PLAN
from SUCCESSFUL people. It is just that simple!
If you are interested in learning more on How to develop Pentacle Leadership, Grab your copy of Success in 10 Steps at my website http://ingridcamacho.com/ and begin to apply the knowledge you will read to develop your mastermind group, or I will be more than happy to get you plugged into my mastermind group, and help you put together your action plan.

Get the success you deserve,

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SUCCEED WHILE OTHERS FAIL ?

2009-06-11T08:04:00.000-07:00

Hello again everyone. Lately I have been studying about the brain,conscious mind as well as only focusing on the seven positive emotions that Napolean Hill talks about in his book Think and Grow Rich.

Then I can accross this brillant article by Earl Nightingale. This makes total sense to me.

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."
Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.
Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.
How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.
Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.
We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.
The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

If you put positive emotions into your mind then you will reap positive results. This makes it very simple to understand why some folks have negative things happen to them in their business and in their life.

If you think you can build a large organization with the help of team work and education...then you can. If you think that no one wants to join you or buy your products.....then that will happen too.

The lesson learned here for me is I must watch what I put into my mind and keep these seven positive emotions desire,faith, love, sex, enthusiasm, romance, hope, and if you like to add an eighth emotion.....prosperity.

Have a great week

Ingrid

THE SLIGHT EDGE MADE SIMPLE

2009-06-03T19:55:00.000-07:00

The Slight Edge principle really helps one to FOCUS on priorities and to TAKE ACTION DAILY, CONSISTENTLY so that these actions will compound over time. The goal is for your income to meet or exceed your job's income so that you can fire your boss and pursue your true aspirations in life.

Did you know that you can build your business, using only 1-2 hours a day? Some have done it in only 30 minutes a day...just using their lunch breaks and a little time in the evening.

NOW the question is: WHAT ACTIONS do you need to take daily to get you there?

Read "Success in 10 Steps" and find out what these are!

This e-book is changing the Network Marketing Industry! If you let me know when you get to page 72, then I will send you something else to help move you ahead in your business.

YOU CAN OWN YOUR LIFE TODAY!! NOW IS THE TIME TO OWN YOUR LIFE!! TAKE ACTION NOW!!

CREATIVE HEADLINES

2009-05-29T08:11:00.000-07:00

Here are some headlines that you might want to use as an attention getter.

Here’s another gem from Tom “Big Al” Schrieter

Your simple sentences can also be a "headline" for your ad. I plan on using one of these sentences in my signature file also.

One good headline could make your business explode. But,you will have to create that special headline for your business.

Here are some headlines to help you start your creative process:

* How To Make Your Boss Cry In Three Easy Steps.

* Don't Make This $10,000 Mistake Tomorrow Morning.

* How To Make Every Day A Saturday.

* I Wish I'd Thought Of That!

* Does Your Boss Laugh Every Time You Ask For A Raise?

* My Parents Kicked Me Out Of The House - I Was Making
Too Much Money.

* If You Don't Think Your Future Is Worth $300, Then
I Don't Either.

* Stop Allowing Your Job To Steal Your Life.

* When Is Your Next Pay Raise? How About Tomorrow?

* The Three Words That Your Boss Fears.

Notice how these headlines create "curiosity" instantly?

Curiosity is powerful. Curiosity makes prospects lean forward, begging for a presentation. Marketing and advertising doesn't seem to be that hard after all.

WHAT'S IN YOUR SUB-CONSCIOUS??

2009-05-24T21:56:00.000-07:00

Eric was a brillant math teacher who could remember facts and figures really well, and he possesed the ability to work any kind of Algberaic equation that was thrown at him. This guy was totally into the colledge life and studied anything he could get his hands on, but math was his favorite subject.

Eric was using the smart part of his brain known as the conscious part, which is the size of a small orange.

Eric also has a stupid part of his brain called the sub-conscious and is as dumb as a box of rocks and the size of the entire world. This part of Eric's brain makes all the decisions in about three seconds flat.

The sub-conscious mind does not know right from wrong or left from right, truth from lie and in order to own your life all you need to do is program your mind with these 7 positive emotions that Hill talks about in his book Think and Grow Rich.

#1. Desire.
#2. Faith.
#3. Love.
#4. Sex.
#5. Enthusiasm.
#6. Romance.
#7. Hope.

So what are you waiting for?? Get busy programing your life for succeess! You can do it! I am!

Oh...I almost forgot to let you in on the secret...is to only focus on these positive emotions and when a negative emotion shows up, immediatly replace it with one of these 7 positive emotions.

OPPORTUNITY WEARS A FAKE NOSE & MUSTACHE

2009-05-19T21:42:00.000-07:00

Extracts from Chapter 3 of Michael Dlouhy's free eBook for MLM Success - "Success In 10 Steps" - for your FREE copy go to go to the right side of the page and click on the green button.

**Opportunity Wears A Fake Nose & Mustache

I read a great book back about 1980. Don’t remember the title, but it was about luck. Why are people lucky? How does luck happen? Can a cause be pinpointed? What makes lucky people different from unlucky people?

**Rabbit’s Foot, Anyone?

The author talked to a lot of people, those who considered themselves lucky and those who didn’t. He’d find out what had happened in their lives, and he chronicled their incidents of luck.

And then he looked at differences & similarities of the people he’d interviewed, and he came to a conclusion.

His conclusion was a revelation to me. Luck is NOT random.

It’s the result of what he called the spider web effect.

People who build webs tend to be lucky. People who don’t build webs tend not to be lucky.

In other words … the more contacts you make in life … the more relationships you build … the fewer bridges you burn … the greater the universe of people who have strong positive feeling for you … the more people you reach out to help … the more likely you are to be lucky.

This was fascinating. The biggest conclusion for me was YOU are in control of your own luck!

**Give Your Prospects a Puppy

But people haven’t changed even the least little bit.

They still want love. They want passion in their personal lives and their professional lives. They want self-satisfaction & health, security & achievement, freedom & trust, fun & financial independence.

People have wanted these same things for a thousand years, and they’ll still want them a thousand years from now.

The mistakes I see people make in this business astonish me … the wrong directions they take and the worthless busywork they do.

If you want happiness and fortune & fulfillment in your life, if you want a lifetime of luck, you need to create relationships with people. To do that, you need to study people and understand them. If you will only do that, the opportunities you’ll be presented with are endless.

And yet I see so many who want those things … but they study the mold
scraped from under the rock by the monk in the white lab coat at midnight on the 7th night after the full moon.

Hey! You definitely need a remarkable product in this business.

But your product is NOT the magic.

The magic is YOU. Every Monday at 3pm est Michael Dlouhy will be explaining each of the chapters and what it means on our Mentoring for Free call. I would like to invite you to join us. Please download the book success in 10 steps and then I will email or call you with the phone# for this live call. So if you are still struggling in mlm or network marketing and want some free help please download the book on the right hand side of the page.

OPTIMISM IS CONTAGIOUS

2009-05-15T14:29:00.000-07:00

I recently had a call from a man who was complaining about the fact that he could not sponsor anyone into his business. I called him back and we talked for a while. I noticed that all he did was whine and moan about how bad his life really was, and his voice was quiet and shallow. As the call progressed, my energy level seemed to be getting lower and lower, and I finally had to hang up and call it a day. No wonder this person wasn't attracting anyone to his business or himself for that matter because if I would have been a prospect....I would have hung up on him right away after hearing the tone in his voice.

The next day I called a young lady and she said that her sales were booming! I asked her how she had done it, and she could hardly contain the excitement in her voice as she proceeded to tell me her marketing strategy. This gal kept on talking and talking expaining all her new ideas in detail to me. We talked for almost a whole hour. When I finally got off the phone.....I was so energized, I quickly got on the phone and dialed some new clients that I had been meaning to visit with for
days.

Now ask yourself this question.....Which one are you?? Pesismist or Optimist?? Do people want to talk to you or do they run every time they see you heading down toward them?

Your friend,

Ingrid

GHOSTS OF THE PAST STILL HAUNTING YOU??

2009-05-04T13:29:00.000-07:00

What do your past and Jimmy Hoffa have in common?? Any guesses?? If you answered they are both dead, then you got it right! Congradulations!

Well the same thing can be said about YOUR past as well....IT IS DEAD!!

So many people that I have talked to keep bringing up the same old stories over and over again and again. The more we dwell on the past and our past failures, the worse we will feel.

I am here to tell you that today is a new day and all we have is the HERE AND NOW!! There is no guarantee of any tommorrows and yesterday is already a cancelled check!

If you are still reliving your past business failures and truly want some help to succeed then I will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Please take this day and make the most of it by calling someone you haven't heard from in a while just to say hi, or tell your family members how much you love them!

Have a great day and week,

Your friend,

Ingrid Camacho

TONS OF INTERNET OPPORTUNITIES-WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE?

2009-04-26T22:28:00.001-07:00

Well here we go again, baby boomers are still dominating the economy. When they were babies, Gerber Baby Food did well. As they grew, blue jeans and Ford mustangs sold like hot cakes. Then of course, they got married and needed homes and so the real estate market boomed.

Let's fast-forward. What do these 78 million baby boomers want and need today? Did you know that every 8 seconds a baby boomer turns 60? They don't want to grow old; they want to stay young, feel good, and have enough money to be able to retire without worries. This is creating a huge growth in health and wellness, youth, energy and fitness trends.

But on top of these huge baby boomer driven trends, everybody knows that the economy, job losses, home foreclosures, etc. are causing more and more people to realize that jobs are no longer secure. So millions of people who never would have even considered this before, are looking into a Plan B - having a business of their own - and creating their Own economy to survive these changing times. The latest figure is 155,000 people a week are starting a home based business. Wow that's a ton of people!! Must be the thing to do!

All these trends are coming together, at the very same time, creating an opportunity unlike anything we've ever experienced in history!

If you position yourself in front of these large and expanding trends, you could see staggering results!

So, you turn on your computer and start researching . . .

But there's a ton of opportunities begging for your attention on the Internet Ask yourself this 1. How can I recognize a legitimate business and avoid being scammed? 2. Do I need to have multiples streams of income or join an affiliate program. 3. Would it be best if I just focused my attention on one business. 4. The next thing on my mind is how am I going to get paid? Some compensation plans can be complicated, confusing to understand, the policies and procedures are so long and written in legalese. 5. I will want to look for something that will be around to pay my grandchildren. 6. Will there be training and support when I need it, or will I be left with empty promises. 7 How will I know how to effectively evaluate a company, and get truthful answers I am seeking?

If you are looking for help sifting through the tons of opportunities on the internet....we at Mentoring For Free are here to help you get the answers you are seeking. Please feel free to download your free copy of Success in 10 Steps and start researching today....You will save yourself years of failure and frustration!

I did it...and you can too!

ARE YOU WALKING PAST THE NEXT MILLIONARE?

2009-04-18T19:25:00.000-07:00

Are you walking past the next millionare that could be in your network marketing business? This week I learned a valuable lesson that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Never judge a person by the way they look. I watched the video of Susan Boyle on the Britains Got Talent. This 47 year old lady who is unemployeed and lives alone with her cat, was all decked out in that mother-of-the-bride dress and matching open-toed pumps. Simon Cowell, asks her what her dream was, and she answerd to be a professional singer, and as successful as Elaine Page -- a statement that caught camera close-ups of the judges' amused in disbelief and the audieance snickering and some were even rolling their eyes. It was evident that everyone thought, Elaine Paige!?
Cheerfully, she announced that she is going to sing, "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. As she started to sing, I noticed the audiences faces all lit up, and the judges' jaws drop as she sang confidently and upliftingly.
Just as the audience had prejudged Susan Boyle as she walked on stage, we tend to judge others around us too. I know I have....how about you?? You never know who could wind up in your network marketing business either, but if we don't take the time to call our clients and we just asume they aren't interested because of where they live, what they wear, or how they speak....then we could walking past the next millionare in network marketing.

PROVEN DUPLICATABLE SYSTEM THAT WORKS

2009-04-10T14:22:00.000-07:00

Do you know how to build a big group of people in your network marketing business? You must have a Duplicatable Proven System in place so that everyone you sponsor into your business can duplicate the same things you do. You build the leaders from within your team, and then will duplicate what you do. It's a team effort, and nobody can do it by themselves.
Here are some things that you can choose to do on a consistant basis...or you can choose not to.... the choice is totally up to you. Here are some suggestions that may help you. 1. committ to learning a new skill 2 read a new book 3. listen to a CD or audio tape that will help YOU to become that person that people will want to follow. 4. Learning how to advertise and brand yourself both on and off the internet will be helpful also.
Please remember this process is going to take time.You must develop yourself first, and then develop leaders within your team. It doesn’t happen overnight. Having your team doing these things on a consistant basis will produce the results over time......yes I said over time.....not overnight!
It is also like the slight edge by Jeff Olson. The little things done everyday will produce the end results you are looking for. You MUST have that Duplicatable System in place for everything else to work together. If you need help, my team and I will be happy to help you find a Proven Duplicatable System that is easy to follow.

I believe in you,

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?

2009-04-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

This week I had a minor setback thinking about the fear of poverty once again. My husband took me shoe shopping at the local shoe store,and as he was paying for the shoes, I said "well I have my one pair of shoes for this year", and my husband kindly reminded me that we are not living in fear of poverty anymore. He said"No Ingrid, this year you will have at least 20 pairs of shoes in your closet". He said
fear of poverty is a state of mind, and reminded me once again that we no longer live in that state of mind.

For many years I have lived with the fear of poverty in my mind. I would think of only owning one good pair of sneekers, and that is exactly what has happend for the last 17 years. Every Oct. I go shoe shopping and get one pair of shoes,and that pair has to last a whole year. I let my fears into my mind, and the very thing that I feared came true. I did not understand what was happening until I read Hills book Think and Grow Rich. Some other fears that I had were...homelessness, no electricity, running out of food before pay day,my husband loosing his job, my kids getting sick. All these fears came true bacause I put them into my mind and spoke them into existance.

Today, I have learned to think about what I put into my mind, and to watch what I say. The day I went shoe shopping was the day I didn't say my self talk. From now on I will say my self talk each and every day. The self talk really matters.

I HELP PEOPLE FOR FREE WITHOUT AN AGENDA

2009-03-26T21:48:00.000-07:00

The brain is like a radio station for broadcasting and recieving thoughts that we place there. No matter what thought I put in my mind, good or bad, my brain will
pick it up and send it out to the universe. I wish I had known this years earlier when I was always inputing negative thoughts into my mind and into the minds of others around me.I would plant thoughts of poverty into my mind and what did I
recieve... poverty of course.

Today, I am very carefull about what I place in my mind. I actually think about what it is that I want and place it carefully into my mind, and then I speak it out loud to the universe.

The other day, I picked up Think and Grow Rich to start reading this chapter, and as I was picking up the book, I glanced at the cover and thought " I am rich because I help people without having an agenda." I thought that was just the coolest thing I could have put into my mind at that time.

Everyday, I am always looking for nothing but good in this world. If I hear anyone speaking a negative thought, I turn and walk the other way.

THE WIZARD OF OZ AND NETWORK MARKETING

2009-03-20T09:43:00.000-07:00

Last week I went to see my daughter's high school play. She played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Much to my surprise,the play had been sold out, and I was left wondering how this could happen...after all it was only a high school play!

After the opening night word started getting around about the great job Kadie did in the role of Dorothy. People were recomending and promoting the play like crazy! Did any of those people who recomended the play get paid for telling their friends to go see it? The answer is no....no one got paid to tell others about the play.

We have all been recomending and promoting since about age five when we told our parents what kind of cereal we wanted for breakfast. You don't get paid to recomend a movie or restaurant do you....but everyday we promote them.

The same goes for network marketing. All network marketing is recomending your favorite products or services to others and being able to pick up a paycheck for doing so.

If you are looking for that extra paycheck I would encourage you to take a closer look at network marketing. If you need any help finding a good network marketing company I would be happy to help you look for one.

COULD YOU BE GIVING MLM A BAD NAME?

2009-03-13T10:25:00.000-07:00

Thanks for dropping by.... I appriciate your friendship! I have the same people spamming me over and over. I am here to make new friends and help others....not to join anyones program. I have my own network marketing company and I am doing well with it. I am 42 years old and will be retired by the time I am 44....not bad for a crazy gal like me. My motto is help enough people get what they want and I will get what I want....and yes it does take time! Network marketing is about relationships and it takes time to build them. People want to know you care....they do not care about your product or company. I have the same people spamming me everyday! Do they even know what my interests are...or where I like to shop? The answer to this is NO...they are to interested in themselves and trying to pitch me their deal!

Thanks for listening to me vent.... now....Make it a great day...your time is your most valueable asset....use is wisely!

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE DECAF

2009-03-11T08:45:00.000-07:00

If I want to be successfull in the network marketing industry, then I
should mastermind and follow someone who is still building a network
marketing company today.I would not go and take advice from someone who sells real estate books on the internet. If you want to be a plummber then go mastermind with other plummers, but if you want to be a computer programmer, then go mastermind with a group of people that know about computers.

It is so important that I mastermind with like minded and positve people too. If I go off and mastermind with people about how bad the economy is, then I risk allowing poverty into my life. If I go off and visit with positive, like minded people then I am allowing prosperity into my life!

LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIPS

2009-03-04T12:42:00.000-08:00

When I first started out in network marketing I was always trying to sell anyone and everyone whom I came in contact with, and I had little or no results using this method.

One day I was visiting with one of my friends here at Mentoring for Free and she told me to quit trying to sell everyone and that network marketing wasn't about products....network marketing is about people and building relationships. I have stopped trying to sell products and turned my focus on making new friends and building lifetime relationships.

Now I have a new friends from all over the United States, Canada, and even Europe. I have formed relationships with people that I didn't know one year ago, and today I can pick up the phone and help them with personal problems or listen to their stories about life. It is so nice to have new friends to laugh with over the phone.

A wise man once told me "build people and people will build the business." I have come to realize that this quote is sooo true. If you build long lasting relationships, then you don't have to worry about high turn over in your business.

Remember....people join people...not companies!

TIPS FOR TURNING BAD PROSPECTS TO GOOD

2009-02-27T07:44:00.000-08:00

Sue, a school teacher by day and a network marketer in her free time. When Sue talked to 25 people she signed up 20 of those people she had visited with.

Bob, a sharp looking, fast talking salesman, who worked long hours at his job in order to generate a great income. Bob also worked his network marketing business,and when Bob talked to 25 people he could only sign up 3.

The one thing common to both situations is the person doing the talking. So what is the difference between Sue, who can attract 20 out of 25 and Bob, who can attract 3 out of 25?

That difference can lead someone to high levels of success in any business and any job. If you know this secret, you can basically determine your own destiny.

We can prove it to you.

Jill and Ron learned this secret and applied it to their jobs. Bill applied this secret at his sales job and earned an extra $750.00 in just two days.

Matt and Kelly took this secret and applied it to some prospective clients that had never bought from their company. These prospective clients turned into paying
customers to the tune of over $175,000 in just 8 weeks.

This secret when properly applied can allow YOU and any one who wants to use it to write their own check.

What is this secret? What can it do for you?

To find out the secret and what it can do for you, please download your copy of Success in 10 Steps and read chapters 5,9,10 carefully.
