As long as I have been in business you never stop learning. It continues to amaze me. Just when you think you have it completely right, something comes up that takes your business to an even higher level!
Recently, I had the privilege of participating in a network marketing success training conference call. The normal give and take of ideas occurred as always. Nervous Newbies asking all the questions we all asked when we first got started. I loved the enthusiasm that was felt. The energy level was palpable even on the telephone. And then it happened....
A newbie asked a question in such a way, that got my mind thinking. Wait a minute, a completely different take on a subject. This could open up some new avenues that could be significant! Why didn't I think of that?
Now, in this forum, it would take too long to describe the specifics of this event. (Although, I would be happy to share this with anyone in my organization). The point of this post is to remind everyone (and myself) to always be on the lookout for fresh ideas. No matter what level of success you attain, do not be fooled into thinking you have all the answers. I am glad I have been reminded of this fact by important people in my life. And, lastly don't be afraid of trying a business strategy that at first blush, might seem contrary to your typical direction. It just might be the ticket to bigger and better emotional and material success! Until next time...

MLM Rejection - Why Do You Experience It and What You Need to Do About It
Quite frankly, rejection is part of network marketing simply because we approach people who have no interest in what we have to offer. Think about this for a moment. Do grocery stores knock on your door trying to sell you a loaf of bread? Of course not! Why? Well, let's discount the ridiculous nature of this scenario, but let's get to the point. You may or may not be interested in buying the loaf of bread at that moment. If you had just come back from the grocery store and purchased a few loaves of bread you are probably NOT interested in buying any more. Or perhaps you just don't like that brand of bread.
The same can be said of money making opportunities. Does the prospect you approach have a keen interest in making more money? Obviously, unless you know the person very well, you have no idea what their desires and goals are. Even though most people will say they want to make more income, many people don't want to work for it. So, look at this scenario..not only are you unsure IF they want to make more money, you don't know if they want to make more money NOW or if they are willing to expend any effort to get it! Many years ago one of my upline associates taught me the three foot rule. This rule helped me experience a great deal of rejection and embarrassment. It goes something like this...anyone within three feet of you is a prospective business partner. How inane is that? Talk about setting yourself up for rejection. And, people wonder why so many network marketers quit.
The good news is you don't have to use old school techniques to build your business. How would you like to have people calling you because THEY are interested in your business instead of you approaching them? Would it excite you to attract people from all over the country or other parts of the world? When I first heard of this system I intially would not allow myself to believe in it because I had dealt with so much failure in the network marketing industry earlier in my career. However, thankfully, I decided to take the first step. I got the details of the system, and then evaluated it. I will tell you this... It works! There are specific, easy to understand steps that will make this program work for you. If you want to end rejection, increase the profitability of your network marketing business, and finally get to experience what you always hoped for...

Jumpstart Your Kyani Business
Kyani products are sure to make their mark on the well-being of those who are fortunate enough to use them. That is what you saw when you decided to start your own Kyani network marketing business. The excitement was almost palpable. You just knew that you had something in your hands that was going to have a tremendously positive impact on the health of many people. The question is...how are you going to market these products, and yourself?
Let's remember that there are many nutritionally based products that are on the market already. Unfortunately, many consumers have heard the story time after time. Promises of great health and great vitality simply by taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But, you know the "power of blue". You know antioxidants work. You have seen the studies and may have already experienced the benefits of the Kyani product yourself.
The typical, old school method of building a network marketing business is to approach your families and friends first. You will probably end up giving them some of the product just so they can see how it works. Maybe they will get excited too, and help your business grow. Maybe they will eventually buy the product from you. Having had much experience in network marketing I can tell you it will take much more than that to give your business a jumpstart. Given the plethora of competing products, the marketer who gets the message out fastest will profit the most.
In today's world we have a great tool. It's called the internet. Along with the various major delivery services in the country like UPS and Fed Ex our products can be shipped anywhere in the country or the world. So why think small and focus only on your family and friends. Why not think real big?
Health and nutrition is a multi-billion dollar industry. People around the world are looking for products that will help them feel younger, stronger, and stay more active. Not to mention the people who have serious conditions who could benefit from a powerful product. Think about how you found out about Kyani. If you are like most of us, you found it on a google search. Sure, a friend may have said something to you..But at the end of the day, most of us googled Kyani.com or some other phrase and received a whole bunch of information. That is how the computer savy individual gets the information desired. So why not use that to your advantage?
If you are like me, I love the concept of network marketing. Pure and simple, it works. However, older methods of marketing yourself end up being very costly as well as making you go through an awful lot of rejection. Let me ask you a question...If you had a system that could automate your search for prospects, decrease your stress because of literally no rejection, have prospects coming to you, and automatically track the activity of these prospects, would that be of interest to you? And if you made money whether or not a prospect joined you, would that make it even better?

What Type of Online Presence Do You Want?
There are many ways to get your products or services noticed online. The type that you choose is determined by several factors. Namely, how fast do you want your services noticed and how much are you willing to spend marketing yourself.
For example, you can have several pay per click campaigns in google to gain the attention of potential customers or business partners. Of course, this will cost money, not necessarily a lot, but you need to know what you are doing.
You can write articles that talk about things you know about. These articles can then give the reader the opportunity to find out more about what services you offer.
Another method is building an optimized website. This has a cost to it, as well as the time to build it. In the long term, an optimized website is a valuable asset to have as you can pull everything you offer into one central location. However, this is not something that predictably will give you immediate return on investment simply because it takes time to build it. For those who are interested a link for an excellent tutorial on building your site from A-Z is found in the left hand column of my blog. Feel free to click on it to see if it what you are looking for.
You can set up a blog just like this one. To me, a blog is a vehicle in which I can share my thoughts frequently throughout the month. As you may have noticed, sometimes I talk about family, business, or specific ideas that I want to share with you. By "pinging" the blog, other blogs get access to your blog. Over time it is another way of getting noticed.
If you like to write on a consistent basis, start a monthly newsletter. As you get more and more emails from people interested in what you are offering (through other sources), these emails could be the starting point for a newsletter campaign.
These are just a few ways to get noticed online. For more information, you may click on my link at the bottom of this blog, or simply respond to start a dialogue about these procedures. Until next time...

Two Days Off In A Row, Remarkable!
It is not very often that I get two days off during the week. It was kind of strange not going to the office today. But, it was a nice change of pace. Even as I was enjoying the day I still had some ideas for promoting my online business. One never knows when inspiration or ideas might come from. The key to success is to act on those inspirations.
One of the most important aspects of the success of a business is to have more than one income source. This is especially true in the online marketing world. Let's use this example..If you were receiving $10,000 per month from your online business, would you rather have one $10,000 check from one source or ten checks of $1,000 from ten different sources? Of course, the ten sources would be more beneficial because if one source dried up, you would still have nine productive areas. Why do I bring this up at this moment? Well, I have successfully incorporated multiple income streams in my online business. I have successful pay per click campaigns, have multiple e books that are very popular, and have been consistent in my article marketing. However, I realized that I was only using one article directory. After thinking about it, there are at least four or five top notch article directories online. Why not put my articles in multiple areas to maximize their effectiveness?
Well, that is my inspiration today. And, I decided to act on it. It will probably take me a few days to transfer all of my articles into the other directories before starting on new articles. But after thinking about this project, in the long term I know that this will be extremely advantageous to my online business. By the way, the article directories that I am using are ezinearticles, article dashboard, go articles, and isnare. Until next time...

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy your family, eat well, maybe even take in some football games on the tube. Most importantly, take a break! My dad always taught me to work hard, play hard, and sleep hard. And you know what...when I follow his advice, things tend to go very well.. (don't tell him I said that...HAHA) Again, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.. until next time.

Now That You Have an Opt-In Page What Next?
In my last post I discussed the necessity of Opt-In pages. They are critical to your success because you MUST know who is responding to your marketing efforts. What good is it if you promote your business and don't know IF anyone is seeing it, and IF anyone is interested. A person who gives you their contact information is literally raising his/her hand and saying to you....I am interested!
That's a far cry from cold calling isn't it?
Once you have this new lead what next? The obvious answer is you must contact that person to see how much interest is there. Here is where you can make a choice....
Old School Network Marketing.... call them, set up an appointment to speak with them, deal with no shows and no thank you's, sign up a few who are really interested.
OR
21st Century Network Marketing... have an automated email system that sends the new prospects multiple emails over the course of time to continue to introduce you and your information/products, etc. to them.
This email system should be automated because as you promote your online business, you WILL have so many contacts that you don't want to be doing this step manually.
The biggest argument I get with this strategy is that you will get a higher percentage of people who join IF you call them rather than simply email them. I don't disagree with this statement. HOWEVER, I have found that people who see the big picture, see the vision, whatever...will join no matter how you contact them. And, the percentage of people who join because I called them, is not a big enough difference to warrant the time and effort it takes to call all the leads that I get!
Everyone has to make this decision for themselves. For me, the pictures of my family that you see on this blog are reasons for me to make this system as automated as possible. Consider this information...Check out the critical training 4 mlm profits link on this blog to see how you can automate your business now!

The Value and Necessity of Opt-in Pages When Marketing Online
The next time you are browsing the internet, google any topic you desire. Notice the ads above and to the right of the web page listings. These are commonly known as Pay Per Click Ads. Business owners write ads to attract your interest to their site in the hope of having you become a customer of their products or services. Each time you click on their ad, the business owner pays Google an agreed upon amount for the opportunity to earn your business.
Notice the type of page you are sent to. This is commonly known as a landing page. If the landing page asks you for your email address and your name you can be sure that this business owner knows what he is doing. The business owner is using what is commonly known as an opt-in page.
Can you guess the benefits this page offers you as an advertiser? Let's reveal just a few...
Would it be of value to you to know how many potential customers were interested in your products? Imagine that you were running various ads for the same product or service. Can you see that the number of visitors you had to each ad would give you valuable information as to what type of wording works best for future ad campaigns?
Would there be value for you to have an ever expanding mailing list? Think about it...every time someone "opts in" you have another person who has shown interest in your product or service. In the future you would be able to send additional information to these people to give them the opportunity to become your customer.
Another benefit would be to simply determine IF your product or service is sellable. If there are very few clicks to your opt in page, it could mean that people are simply not interested in what you are selling. So the next time you market your products or services online, don't forget to use an opt-in page as your landing page for optimal tracking of the efficiency of your ad campaign.

Now That You Have Been Approached To join An MLM, What Now?
The scenario is pretty standard. A friend of yours calls you and asks you if you have an interest in taking a look at a business he finds very exciting. Maybe he even asks you if you are satisfied with your current income level. If you're like most people, the answer is always the same. Of course you can use extra money. So your interest becomes piqued and you agree to meet with him.
As the meeting approaches you are filled with excitement. You wonder what type of business he will be discussing and what it will mean to your future. Part of you is hoping that it is NOT a multi level marketing business. You have never been involved in one before but you have heard all sorts of stories. Some of which were downright horrible.
Well, the time of the meeting has come. You and your friend sit down and participate in a bunch of small talk. to break the ice and renew your acquaintance. Once the business presentation starts you become more and more convinced that this new business idea has potential. It seems that the products are good. You can make a sizeable amount of money if you just stay the course. Your friend promises you that he will be there to help you. Your mind starts racing thinking of the possibilities that this business represents. And then it happens...
You make the decision to join. The application is filled out, the fees paid and you are on your way...well almost. Now you have to decide on a strategy to attract people to your business. Your friend decides to give you a brief training session right on the spot. He asked you to go over names of people that you know, people that would trust you. This is commonly called your warm market. It's at this point that you start feeling a little bit nervous. You mean I have to start calling my friends? I don't know if I can do that. What are my friends going to think about me?
Does this sound familiar to you? It does to me! This is the most common issue that every new network marketer has to address and deal with effectively in order to go to the next step in his journey towards success. However, there is a way around this. Many veteran network marketers understand that most warm market prospects are not necessarily your best business partners. In fact, I will go as far as to say that if you work in the network marketing industry long enough, the majority of your prospects will not be those people in your warm market. That means that your close friends, coworkers, and family members will most likely not be in your business. That's okay. Because there is a different strategy that will work.. Here's how...
21st-century network marketing requires a different approach. The vastness of the Internet allows us to expand our horizons in order to attract prospects from literally all over the world. But how can you attract those people? What system needs to be used? One way of doing this would be to purchase leads from a lead generation company. However, how do you know that these leads are of good quality? The answer... you don't. If there was a way to generate your own high quality leads, would it make sense to pursue that avenue instead? From my experience it is the best way to give you the best chance at success. Why not start your network marketing experience on a positive note with no rejection?

But how can you attract those people? What system needs to be used? One way of doing this would be to purchase leads from a lead generation company. However, how do you know that these leads are of good quality? The answer... you don't. If there was a way to generate your own high quality leads, would it make sense to pursue that avenue instead? From my experience it is the best way to give you the best chance at success. Why not start your network marketing experience on a positive note with no rejection?

The Secret To Attracting Business Builders Who Are Ready To Rock And Roll
Where do you find highly motivated, raging business builders? Especially after your warm market runs out? Do you buy leads from a lead generation company? How do you think that will go? Probably not so well if you are like the majority of network marketers. Why is it that these leads don't work out? Why do the majority of these leads have closed minds to the network marketing industry? The main reason...the leads were generic. They were not specifically looking for network marketing as their vehicle to greater income.
Unfortunately, if you were like me you probably asked yourself, "what did I do wrong". Could I have said something better? Was my script ok? Maybe I should have asked my upline for more help. Let's get something straight right now.. You did nothing wrong. As I said, most of the lead generation companies use very generic questionnaires to simply get as many people as possible who are interested in making money. Lead generation companies then take these leads and sell them to a variety of people looking for prospects. It's no wonder the positive responses are few and far between. Additionally, most of these "leads" are not even looking to become network marketers. They just want to make money, somehow, someway. So, stop blaming yourself.
On the flip side...don't make the same mistake twice. Stop buying generic leads. Otherwise you will literally be throwing good money after bad!
What is your solution? Simple. Start dealing with people who want what you have. In order to do that you must have a system in place that targets those specific prospects. A system that allows you to stop chasing people. A system that has prospects coming to you. Sound interesting? It is. There ARE raging business builders just waiting to explode in our industry on your team!
Click on the link below to find out how you can learn a system that will give you this opportunity.

Why Did I pick Lightyear Alliance as My Network Marketing Company?
Network marketing is an industry that works. Especially when you make sure a number of variables are in your favor. If you don't "stack the deck" in your favor you lessen your potential for success. Let's go over a few important facts that led me to my decision.
Most people have been approached by someone at some point in their life to consider joining a network marketing company. In today's economy , where can you get into a business for under $500 with the opportunity to make significant additional income over and above what you make at your current job? The answer is nowhere, unless you get lucky in the stock market or win the lottery. This is probably the underlying fact that drives many people to consider network marketing as a viable business.
When considering a network marketing company, I am really not concerned so much with the entry cost. The reason for this attitude is that I have found that whether the entry fee is on the lower end of the $500 or the higher end, it doesn't make a serious impact on your ability to turn a profit. For me the greater issue is two fold...what do I have to do EACH MONTH to qualify to make money, and how much do I get paid when I bring business or reps to the company? Focus on these two issues and you will be more likely to join a company that can make a difference in your life.
In Lightyear Alliance the qualifications to make money are not only very easy but also affordable for everyone. The reason for this is that the services that LY offers are services that we as individuals and businesses utilize every day, and pay for every month. Truly, when a LY rep tells you you don't need new money each month to qualify he is being straightforward.
Let me ask you a question...are you planning on paying your telephone bill this month? How about your cell phone bill, internet access bill, or satellite tv bill? What would happen if you stopped paying those bills? Wouldn't your service be interrupted? Of course. Well, in the LY business model your qualification is simply to utilize LY for these services. Here is the great thing about this.. LY has contracts with most, if not all the service providers in the communication industry. So when you are talking about cell phones you will still be using Verizon, Cingular, Nextel, T-mobile, etc. When you change over to LY local and long distance services on your home phone you are still using the Bell South Network if you are in the southeast (for example). You are simply billed by LY for the same quality services. The company also offers state of the art in house VOIP services and the best international rate calling cards (that actually give you the minutes that you pay for).
One other important fact...to qualify for bonuses you start at needing only a mere 2 LY services. As you progress in the company, 10 LY services will qualify you for the residual income program. In my particular case, between internet service, cell phone plans for my family, local phone service, satellite tv, and VOIP lines, I have 10 LY services ON MY OWN! And since each of these services are either the same, or in many cases less expensive than what the name brand service provider offered it for, I am also reducing my costs for these services month after month. (By the Way...the LY services that help you qualify can be your own services or a combination of your own services and those that other non LY reps use as well). So, either way...very simple to qualify.
If there was something called a no brainer in the network marketing business, this is it!
Let's get to the money making part...How do you make money with this business? Well, the company pays handsomely for bringing new reps into the business as well as one time bonuses when services are added to your account. That does not even consider the very generous residual income program. The percentages of residual income on LY services is better than most companies out there and in many cases beats them by a lot.
If you have read this far, you are obviously either interested in starting up a network marketing company or comparing yours to LY.

It will then take you to my site which will explain all the details. Feel free to contact me as well by email and we can hook up and talk about it.

To great success in all your endeavors!

What Approaches are Effective in Network Marketing?
Approaching prospects is an important aspect of your network marketing business. Prospects are the life blood of your business. So, when you have the opportunity how are you going to accomplish this important task?
Each prospect has their own reason as to why they choose to build a network marketing business. In order to have the best possible outcome you need to understand what is important to your prospect. This will determine the type of approach and follow up you will utilize. Will you approach them on the telephone, in person, or over the internet? Will you be approaching people you know or strangers?
Let's review the types of prospects you will meet with a few possible scripts that have proven effective. There are four categories that will effectively describe most prospects. They are as follows... a person in dire financial straits who may not have a job or is so far in debt that they need money immediately; a person who is happy with their job, but realizes additional income would be beneficial; a business person who always looks for additional income sources that make sense; and a wealthy person who is looking for an new challenge.
Here are approaches that have proven effective...
"Do you ever look at other ways of making income over and above what you are currently making right now? " I find that this is a solid generalized script for approaching prospects because it asks a simple yet direct question. Does the prospect want to make money in addition to their current job? Or, does the successful business person look into other business ventures? (Quick note: refrain from using the term "business opportunity". Instead use "business venture" or "business project" as a term that will invoke a positive response from business orientated people). Most prospects will say yes to this approach. It is then your job to set up an appointment with them so that you can give them the details of your business. A typical response to this approach will be "that would depend on what type of business you are talking about." Your response to this question is very critical because it will determine who has control of this business encounter. I have found that redirecting the question can be effective. I would say something like this...
"I understand your concern for the type of business I am talking about. However, the only purpose of my question to you is to find out if you have a compelling interest to generate additional income. If the answer is yes, I would be happy to set up an appointment in which I would answer all your questions in great detail. So, I will ask again...Do you ever look at other ways of making income over and above what your are currently doing? "
Don't be intimidated by the prospect's questions because YOU have something that is valuable for them. IF you decide to explain the business to the prospect at that time you have lost lost control as well as the prospect in probably 99% of the cases. Think about it....If it takes you 30 minutes to explain the business sufficiently, how could you possibly explain the business to a prospect in three minutes. If a prospect refuses to make the appointment , then take the opportunity away from them. You are under no obligation to work with everyone. Pick and choose your business associates.
A prospect may be in dire financial straits and is in need of income immediately. This particular lead may not be your best prospect at least in the short term. Unfortunately, a person who is in this situation tends to be very enthusiastic because of their tremendous need. Unless your business pays new associates a large immediate income as compared to the entry fee, this prospect will not be a good candidate for your MLM company. Whenever I see this type of enthusiasm I will ask questions like..."It's great that you have excitement for additional income. What would that additional income do for you? " You will immediately find out the status of their finances by their answers.
For those prospects who you know, and from your prospective, you feel that they are a bit above you in the financial food chain, you can use a tried and true approach that works if you are sincere when asking...."I recently became aware of a business venture that upon initial investigation shows great promise. I greatly value your opinion in business matters. Would you help me by taking a look at the details and giving my your take on it?"
When approaching someone who is obviously very wealthy here is an approach that can grab their attention. "Recently I had the good fortune of learning about a profitable business venture. Do you ever look at other challenges or projects that can be very lucrative?" Remember, even wealthy people like to make more money. However, many prefer to think of the challenge of the project as the main excitement with the overall income that can be generated as a secondary benefit.
Another type of approach is the use of electronic media. To have an online presence is equally as important as the approaches cited above. The value of online approaches resides in the fact that there is minimal rejection and less stress. By utilizing Google advertising, article marketing, and newsletter marketing to name a few, the prospects are responding to your information and contacting you, rather than you making the approach. This is a much better targeted prospect because they have shown interest by taking an action step.. ie responding to your ad or article. This is where a state of the art lead generation system comes into play. Stay tuned for more articles on the nuts and bolts of building a network marketing business. You may also refer to my article on lead generation systems as well.
In the meantime for more information on how to have prospects contact you, while experiencing a state of the art lead generation system in action...

Is Network Marketing Really Duplicatable?
Do you remember the first time someone approached you with a network marketing opportunity? What was one of the main selling points of the business model? If you learned as I did the best part of the business was that it was duplicatable. The concept seemed simple enough. Teach people to do what you are doing for your success. Do you see the problem with that concept? Let's discuss it...
Everyone I know is different. People speak differently, they come from different backgrounds, they have different social and economic experiences. They even have different personalities. So tell me, how is a gregarious, fun loving individual going to teach an introvert to approach people and share a business concept with someone. The answer is..they can't.
If you look at the latest statistics you will see literally millions of people who have an interest to do more with their lives, especially when it comes to economics. People simply want to make more money. That is what the attraction to network marketing is all about. Think about this for a second...for a relatively low entry fee a person can start up a business in which he or she can make some serious money.
The problem, of course, if you continue to look at the statistics, is that 95% of all network marketers just scratch the surface of their potential and eventually drop out. Why is that? I believe it is a very simple concept. People are trying to teach other people to duplicate actions and attitudes that they are not programmed to do. Pure and simple.
If you are considering a network marketing company or if you are wanting to increase your productivity in your current business you must strive to learn techniques that CAN be taught to others, no matter what their personality and experiences of the past. Once I realized this fact, I was able to search for quantifiable techniques that have been proven to work across the board. No gimmicks, no get rich promises, just good solid business strategies that if given the proper amount of effort and time will take your business to levels even you wouldn't expect.
Click on the link below to find out how you can receive information that will open the real door of duplication for your business.

Is Getting Rid Of Your J.O.B. Really Possible or Is It a Hoax?
Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of working with many different types of people in the network marketing industry. In many cases they have been a pleasure to work with, especially once I told them the real scoop about our industry.
I get a kick out of people who belittle others for having a J. O. B. Isn't that the joke your uplines talk about when referring to those who have "traditional jobs or businesses? "So, when are you going to put more time into your network marketing company?" Just because your lousy "JOB" pays you consistent money every week that happens to pay your mortgage, health insurance, and puts food on the table for your family should not be a reason to keep working. After all, your upline has promised you that you will make bundles of money. If I am doing this full time, why can't you, they will say? I have heard this conversation too many times.
At times I laugh at it, but you know what, perhaps I should cry when I hear it. What most people don't realize is that some of the very large producers in network marketing have built downlines over many years and typically with a few companies. Or, a full time network marketer may have had great success in a traditional business, decided to sell it and now lives off of the profits from that company. In either of these two scenarios it would be very easy to put all your efforts into network marketing.
Even having said this, network marketing is still a great industry. For the last 12 years or so, a major IVY league school has been teaching network marketing in their MBA program. Talk about coming a long way! The bottom line is this. You can get rid of your "JOB" at some point, providing you put in the time and effort in this industry to build up a sizeable RESIDUAL INCOME.
Don't be fooled by the great bonuses you can get every time you sponsor someone. Especially as you grow in a particular company, the money paid out can be very significant. While this is a great position to be in....LISTEN UP... It is still a "JOB!" UNTIL your residual income is enough to support your family. But that's ok.
In my business, I make sure that the people in my business know that fact going in. What that does for them is two-fold... they trust me because I am telling them a real picture of what they are getting in to, and it creates a situation in which I have fewer drop outs because they are not fooled coming in. How else can you help your business associates? I also give my prospects and new reps the opportunity to learn about personal lead generation. A great way to avoid getting on the telephone! Think about it, how many people actually enjoy cold calling, or worse yet...calling their friends about their business? How would you like, instead, to have leads who YOU generate, contacting you for more information about your business? And on top of that, how would you like to make money even if these leads do not join your primary network marketing company? Well, with much research, I have found the way. It CAN be done. In fact, it is being done. And now you can find out how, too!

I get a kick out of people who belittle others for having a J. O. B. Isn't that the joke your uplines talk about when referring to those who have "traditional jobs or businesses? "So, when are you going to put more time into your network marketing company?" Just because your lousy "JOB" pays you consistent money every week that happens to pay your mortgage, health insurance, and puts food on the table for your family should not be a reason to keep working. After all, your upline has promised you that you will make bundles of money. If I am doing this full time, why can't you, they will say? I have heard this conversation too many times.
At times I laugh at it, but you know what, perhaps I should cry when I hear it. What most people don't realize is that some of the very large producers in network marketing have built downlines over many years and typically with a few companies. Or, a full time network marketer may have had great success in a traditional business, decided to sell it and now lives off of the profits from that company. In either of these two scenarios it would be very easy to put all your efforts into network marketing.
Even having said this, network marketing is still a great industry. For the last 12 years or so, a major IVY league school has been teaching network marketing in their MBA program. Talk about coming a long way! The bottom line is this. You can get rid of your "JOB" at some point, providing you put in the time and effort in this industry to build up a sizeable RESIDUAL INCOME.
Don't be fooled by the great bonuses you can get every time you sponsor someone. Especially as you grow in a particular company, the money paid out can be very significant. While this is a great position to be in....LISTEN UP... It is still a "JOB!" UNTIL your residual income is enough to support your family. But that's ok.
In my business, I make sure that the people in my business know that fact going in. What that does for them is two-fold... they trust me because I am telling them a real picture of what they are getting in to, and it creates a situation in which I have fewer drop outs because they are not fooled coming in. How else can you help your business associates? I also give my prospects and new reps the opportunity to learn about personal lead generation. A great way to avoid getting on the telephone! Think about it, how many people actually enjoy cold calling, or worse yet...calling their friends about their business? How would you like, instead, to have leads who YOU generate, contacting you for more information about your business? And on top of that, how would you like to make money even if these leads do not join your primary network marketing company? Well, with much research, I have found the way. It CAN be done. In fact, it is being done. And now you can find out how, too!

What it Takes to Be Successful
Do you have focus, energy, passion? How about organizational skills? Have you set goals for your business? Is the glass half full or half empty? How will you react to unforeseen obstacles? If you can answer these questions honestly you will be on your way to taking the first step for a successful business experience.
Have clear cut goals and expectations. But make sure your goals are realistic. If you are in a business that has a system of action steps, don't take short cuts. A short cut will guarantee a short circuit in your success. Put forth effort and don't expect someone else to do it for you. Study, learn and implement your plan of action. Once you have results, good or bad, re-evaluate. Did you follow the recommended steps? And if you did, why did you get your results.
This cycle of planning, implementing and re-evaluating will assure you that you will be efficient in building your business. Do not become emotional when evaluating the action steps you are taking. If something works, continue it, if not discard it.
Most of this information is not earth shaking. However, the business people who take this information to heart and stay the course will give themselves the best chance of success. Until next time...
