Something I've learned in the network marketing industry....

sometimes you have to eat your words!!!

I was going to make my next post more about companies but I decided to share with you all something that has come full circle for me.

If any of you have read any of my stuff around the net you've probably run across a few posts I've made about my hate of binary compensation plans. Now, you might also now be thinking 'what the heck she's in a company with a binary plan' and you would be absolutely right! Bellamora is a binary plan and I have always ranted about my hate of binary plans! But, as with most things if you live long enough you get to eat a few of your words sooner or later. I still hate most binary plans and truth is that when I hear those famous words "you get paid on your weaker leg" I have to admit that I cringe a bit. But, I've also learned more about them and in doing so have learned not all binary plans are created equal! So, today I am very involved with a binary plan and I love it! Crazy, isn't it?

I now have finally learned enough to realize that it really isn't the type of compensation plan that I hate....... I simply did not know enough to have an educated opinion! Yes, I'm admitting the mistake. Those that know me also know I have no problem admitting that I most definitely do not know everything and I sometimes spout off my opinions when I should be doing a bit more homework.

I call it my way of getting an education! You see I am one of those people that consider life an ongoing education in itself. I continue to learn and will do so forever. I'm not afraid to tell you about my mistakes and I'm not afraid to tell you when I discover I'm wrong.

The way I see it, if I share my mistakes and successes with you..... that puts you ahead of the game so I'm happy to share. I'm thankful that many wonderful people have and continue to share with me.

This hard knock education of mine has led me to success so I'm very thankful for not only the wins but the losses as well!

So, what type of compensation plan is the one that I now think is the best? Plain and simply one that is fair, balanced and lucrative not only for the veteran but the new person. Pretty much that sums it up. Truth is, I don't care what you call it. I only care that it will allow a new person to be profitable quickly and allow the builders to be profitable as well. I care that it will keep the company healthy and allow those that are willing to do the work the opportunity to be financially independent.

I'm not willing to work my tail off only to see a tiny check come out of it and I am not willing to promote a company that will make it difficult if not almost impossible for a brand new network marketer to see profitability! I want my new associates to be profitable fast and stay that way. And of course, I expect the same for myself.

I believe I've found the right fit for me. Maybe it is the right fit for you? A few years back I struggled to build a team of 50, today I watch my team grow by triple that daily! How? By applying what I've learned! I work hard, I'm a team player, I believe in supporting my team! And, I continue to learn all the time.

I'm building an enormous team with Bellamora... the team has doubled in size over the past couple of days! If you are looking for a team to join, I invite you to join us. We have many of the top industry leaders on our team and our experiences can help you finally see the success you dream of. We can give you a roadmap but it will be up to you to follow it.

So, if you are caught up in that compensation plan trap like I was....... let me suggest that you throw out your old mindset and begin again. Begin with a fresh mind, a fresh attitude and make 2011 the year that turns your life into the life you dream of!

As the economy continues to be high on everyone's worry list those of us in network marketing are not feeling that pinch quite like many across the world are. Why? Because the truth is if you have built your business right, built your business strong, the economy will have little effect on your finances!

Now, you might be in the industry already and if so you might also be enjoying a very lucrative income. Or, it could be that you've been working your tail off only to discover you are spending more than you are earning! Possibly you are just now looking at the industry and wondering if it is right for you? It really doesn't matter where you are at with it right now. What does matter is where you want to go with it. If you are ready to really grab hold of opportunity and make financial freedom your own... you can do it but it's going to take some work!

It drives me absolutely crazy how many people forget that WORK is required! Remember this is netWORK marketing, work is part of the equation! The work we do as network marketers isn't brain surgery, it is actually very simple but it is work, it does require effort! Don't fall prey to that old get in and get rich hype! Understand that you are going to be working but in this industry your work will pay off big time and it will continue to pay off big time for years to come!

If you are willing to learn and apply what you learn... there are no limits on what you can achieve! Remember, anyone CAN do this but only a small percentage will do what it takes to have the life of their dreams!

Your first step is to align with the right company but right up there with selecting the company you are going to work with will be selecting your sponsor! A good sponsor in network marketing can make all the difference in the world!

First let's talk about companies. There are a few that really stand out right now in the industry so I'm going to focus on those for now.

Bellamora International is one of the hottest opportunities you'll find and with good reason! This company has very deep pockets and they are doing something unheard of the industry. Right now you can join Bellamora at absolutely no cost! You'll receive a free sample of their product, have your own free website, free backoffice, free training, the list just goes on and on. And this company offers a patented compensation plan that is going to pay out more money to more people than any other plan in existence! Yes, I'm involved in this one... anyone who has been in the industry and is knowledgeable about the industry either is in or will be in soon. Why? Because this one folks is a huge winner! In just a few short weeks, this company has already blown through industry records and they haven't even rolled out the red carpet yet! Bellamora International is definitely the top choice!

MPB Today is another hot choice in the industry. In truth, this one is somewhat of a no brainer for anyone. MPB Today is a grocery company but in reality the big attraction with MPB Today is not really groceries at all! The attraction is that with this company you make a one time purchase and you never have further out-of-pocket expense with the exception of a low $10 per year website fee. The income from MPB Today is very quick and substantial. Some recent changes to the company compensation plan have elevated MPB Today to real front runner in the industry making it well worth your consideration. And yes, I have my hat in the MPB Today arena! Because I meet many marketers that simply do want to deal with monthly autoships, I find this company is the perfect one to align with if you are one that prefers the one time purchase.

Pur3X is one I do not have any involvement with but feel is a frontrunner in the industry. The company offers a matrix compensation plan, some very unique products including a recent addition that is truly outstanding in every way. Product development is credited to Dr. Kenneth Kroll who is in my opinion absolutely brilliant! The products that this man will bring to Pur3X will be outstanding in every way. Expect to see some amazing things from this company over the next few months including an unprecedented move that is just weeks away from unfolding. This one move will blow the minds of everyone in the industry! I can't tell you the details as it is secret info but let me just say... aligning yourself with Pur3X just might be an incredibly smart move right now! Truth is, I'll most definitely be purchasing some of their products for my own use!

Sponsors

Selecting your sponsor is something you want to do as carefully as selecting the company you align yourself with! Why? Because your sponsor is your first connection and the one that will either provide you with the support you need or be unreachable. A good sponsor will have direct communication with those at the top. They will have information to offer you and help to offer you. They will be focused and they will be a huge help to you in every way. Do not confuse years in the industry as the key component that you should use in deciding! The truth is many brand new network marketers are excellent sponsors. Instead look at how active they are, find out how responsive they are, find out if they are able to either personally answer your questions or find out the answers to your questions. Are they building a team? Are they promoting teamwork? Are they a good match for you? Don't buy into the self-proclaimed guru pitch! If they want to sell you their help... you might want to find out if another sponsor is offering that help at no cost. A good sponsor will not charge you to learn! A good sponsor wants to help you! Now, understand they are not going to do your work for you! If they are successful in the industry they don't have time for that and they understand that in truth.... doing the work for you would be very detrimental for you! They want you to be successful and they want you to know how to be successful!
