WOW! Lightyear Alliance Announces Income Guarantee Program!

Lightyear Alliance recently announced a first of a kind income guarantee program for its representatives. It is unheard of in the network marketing industry to be guaranteed anything, let alone income. If you are open and forward thinking about your financial future you owe it to yourself to find out the details of this program. Besides saving yourself money on your communication services there is a bunch of income to be made as well. For more information make sure you follow this link.

Truth or Lie - Duplication in Your Network Marketing Business is Possible

Duplicate: An identical copy; a facsimile. One that corresponds exactly to another, especially an original. These are common definitions of the word duplicate as seen in the dictionary.

Wasn't the concept of duplication one of the key benefits cited to make network marketing appear to be a better business concept than traditional businesses? I first heard of it in my early network marketing training. But how much is really duplicable?

Let's review this concept and determine what, if anything, is duplicable in your business. (By the way, as an aside...feel free to use the word duplicable OR duplicatable. They are both real words that can be found in the dictionary and mean the same exact thing.)

I will start with the ridiculous...You find yourself going to a business meeting one evening during the week. The speaker has attained a very high level in the company. His job is to motivate and entertain you while givng you training tips on how to build your business. He states, "If he could do it so could you." Or so he says. In reality, did you know that he happened to come from another network marketing company and was able to bring in over 1000 reps in one month. Is that duplicable for you?
How about this one...the business builder who touts that he is doing the business full time. What you didn't know was that he recently sold a very profitable traditional business for a very large sum of money and is able to live off that profit in order to work his MLM full time as a hobby. Is that duplicable for you?

Or, the business partner who has no fear, no anxiety talking to people individually or in groups. Has a gregarious personality and makes everything he touches seemingly turn to gold.. Is that duplicatable for you?

Can you duplicate someone's personality? Savings acct? Speaking ability? Circle of influence? The answer is no, you can't. And that is the problem. Most people who join a MLM business are in desperate need of creating wealth. They not only want a new job, but NEED more income. The need to believe that what they are told is going to happen for them. They get so primed because they have the dream. The problem....they have to make the dream come true NOW, not next week. And that is the problem..It takes time to build any network marketing business. This is true for the majority of marketers. Sure, you may get someone who has everything in place and makes his business fly immediately. But that is rare indeed.
Let me tell you a story...I was recently at a business meeting. All of us who had reached a high level in a certain company were asked to stand up and say a few words. For me, there was no secret...hard work and persistence. But next to me was a guy who reached my level and beyond in 1/3 the time frame. How?...he happened to stumble across not one, but two people who had everything going for them. Those two people basically built this rep's business in a heart beat. Good for him. I am happy for him. But is this duplicable? Maybe, if you are lucky. But I wouldn't count on it.

To be able to duplicate someone's success, you must be able to duplicate a system rather than the person. A non-emotional automated system that works DESPITE you or me getting in the way. Once you tap into that type of system you will truly understand the definition of the word "duplicate" on your way to mlm success.

Stick to it and Give Your Business the Chance to Succeed.

Over the last few weeks I haven't been blogging very much. Home projects took over and finally have been completed. Along the way I still kept my ear to the ground speaking with people and learning more and more about how different people process information.

After a number of conversations, observations, and thoughts I have come to the conclusion that a high percentage of people who fail in business, especially the network marketing business simply have minimal stick-to-it-ness. Why do so many jump from one company to another? Why do so many quit at first sign of difficulty?

Perhaps you have started a traditional business at one point of your life. Did you have tremendous success instantaneously? Most people don't. Did that mean that you gave up? Of course not. You had too much invested in the business. You could not afford to give up.

Maybe, just maybe, the biggest problem with network marketing is one of its biggest attractions. An extremely low entry fee. In all my experience the highest entry fee I have ever seen in an MLM is $750. Think about that for a moment. Where can you get into a business for less than $1,000? Especially a business in which you have the opportunity to make significant monthly income. Whatever you choose, stick to it. Work it. Be open to additional ways of promoting yourself to take your business, as Chef Emeril Lagasse would say, up a notch! Feel free to look into some of my earlier posts. There is a great system that allows network marketers like you and I the opportunity to utilize the internet to explode our businesses. You just have to take a serious look and then make the commitment. If this interests you, make sure you follow the Critical Training 4 MLM profit link on this blog.

Economy forces many to think about second income source

It's no secret that the economy is not in good shape. Look at any financial page or listen to a financial news report and you know what I mean. In essence the real or perceived economy issues will help you in your network marketing career. More and more people are finding it necessary to supplement their traditional jobs in order to support their families.

Give yourself the best chance of massive success in your MLM by understanding why the internet is the vehicle necessary to make it happen. In order to take full advantage of the internet a comprehensive system must be in place that effectively addresses each aspect necessary for that success.

Are You Afraid of MLM Success?

Success is a journey. And many times, not an easy one. Every business has its obstacles that must be dealt with on a daily basis. However, in network marketing, the biggest obstacle seems to be our minds. What do we do to sabotage our success?

Go to a business seminar on success. You will find speaker after speaker talking about positive mental attitude. I know, it is an overused expression. However, it is based in truth. Think about your self talk. What are you telling yourself daily? Are you building yourself up or tearing yourself down?

Does this sound familiar? I can't do that? You expect me to do what! My friends will never go for that. I don't like speaking in groups. Why is he so successful? He doesn't look like much to me.

All of these comments that you make to yourself are chipping away at your attitude and expectations for your business. In one seminar I attended the speaker said the following "fake it until you make it".

I thought about that for awhile. I finally understood that the speaker did not mean to lie to myself, which by the way, was my first thought. See how you can trip yourself up with stinkin thinkin! No, what he meant was act the part. If you expect people to respect you, go to a business meeting with a nice suit on and an attitude of positive expectation. With that persona you will exude success and actually give yourself a better chance of a favorable outcome.

Speaking of outcomes... Someone much smarter than me once said "you are responsible for your actions, not the outcome of those actions." What a gem! If you can buy into this expression you will be on your way to success in everything you attempt. Prepare, do everything you can to give yourself the best chance for success, and then let it fly. The results are nothing more than a report card. Utilize the information that this report card gives you to hone your skills. Don't get down on yourself for negative outcomes. Learn from them and you will find your end results becoming better and better.

Don't be afraid to learn new skills, new systems, and new techniques to build your business. Just because your upline builds their business a certain way does not mean you have to do it the same way. Chances are you won't build the business you want utilizing the techniques of someone else because those techniques might not fit your personality and skill set. So experiment. If you are like me once you find the technique and system that fits, you will end up having fun while building your business to the level you desire.

Goals for the New Year

Now that the new year is is full swing, have you determined your goals for the year? Many instructors teaching techniques for success will recommend writing down your goals. They say, the more specific the better. While I don't believe it is absolutely necessary to write down every detail of your goal, I have found that writing down the overall concept of what you want to accomplish will help you decide on specific action steps necessary to reach those goals.

Also, remember, there are no unrealistic goals, only unrealistic time frames. Until next time. ..

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year last night. Enjoy today with family and friends and get ready to go back to work tomorrow. I know I am ready to rock and roll.

I usually don't get too excited about "things", but I just have to mention this... 52" High Definition TV.. Remarkable picture quality. I enjoy participating in sports, but when I can't I love watching sports as well. Let me tell you... I never thought a HD sporting event could be so cool to watch. The first program I watched was the Patriot-Giant game. All I can say is WOW! Great game with perfect picture quality. After much research ( I NEVER have buyer's remorse because I do an amazing amount of investigation prior to purchasing anything!) I ended up getting the Samsung 5271 model- 52 inch 71 series HDTV. It has a 120 cycle refresh rate instead of the standard 60 cycle. (amoung other upgrades) Gives a much better picture especially on fast moving shows like sports tv. I highly recommend it. Until next time...
