Are You Willing to be Great?

Randy Gage — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:01:18 +0000

Two days ago we looked at Developing Your Skills and yesterday looked at Two Truths You Must Know. Now let’s take the discussion deeper… I said the difference between amateurs and professionals is the pros don’t argue for their limitations. They develop their skill sets. And here’s the thing to know about that… For every person seeking [...]

Two Truths You Must Know

Randy Gage — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:28:37 +0000

So we had some great comments on yesterday’s post on developing your skills. A couple more important things for you to consider: #1) You can’t look good and get better at the same time. The way to do great invitations (or anything else) is to do good ones first. And the way to do good ones, is [...]

Are You Developing Your Skills?

Randy Gage — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:10:47 +0000

When we had the earlier discussion of the differences between amateurs and professionals, a big element was the skill sets. Professionals don’t complain about what they can’t do. They learn how to do it. Amateurs say, “I don’t know that many people.” Professionals develop the skill set of meeting people. Amateurs say, “I don’t know how to [...]

Working Smart for Success

Randy Gage — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:22:08 +0000

Let me give you a million-dollar tip: Work with the people that deserve it, not the ones that need it. Then teach people what they have to do to deserve you. The beaches of the world are bleached with the bones of people that had “potential.” You can’t build with potential; you build with people [...]

No is the New Yes

Randy Gage — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:04:39 +0000

Okay I admit it. I hate all the sales types that preach, “I love to hear a ‘no’ because after another nine no’s I know I’ll get a yes!” So I was a little skeptical when I was approached to appear in the “Go for No” movie… But I was impressed with Andrea Waltz and she [...]

More on the Mastermind Event

Randy Gage — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:01:49 +0000

Well I’m back from the whole around the world trip, ending with the Network Marketing Mastermind Event in Houston, and finally starting to recover. But what an amazing event it was! If you missed it, you have to make sure you never miss another. There is nothing so powerful as having the different perspectives and viewpoints [...]

Update from Mastermind

Randy Gage — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:51:51 +0000

Wow here at the Network Marketing Mastermind Event in Houston and it is simply sublime. The first night I got one hour sleep, because my poor body didn’t know what time zone it was on. So it was all I could do to present my sessions. Then last night we had the “lightning round”… Each member [...]

Continuing the Revolution

Randy Gage — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:05:25 +0000

I’m about to head out to the Network Marketing Mastermind event in Houston. And I’ll be doing the opening keynote. Here’s what I want to get across to the attendees there… When I wrote The MLM Revolution, it was to help redefine our business and create a paradigm shift in the way we do things. Network [...]

Don’t Write Yourself Off

Randy Gage — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:11:37 +0000

Stella comments in the last post that she has to recruit in the cold market, because “my warm market is not interested (for several reasons) at all.” I told her I don’t think this belief serves her very well. And it’s the kind of belief many people have, and it holds them back from success. Like [...]

What Makes You a Professional, Part 4

Randy Gage — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:34:32 +0000

Glad to see so many of you checking in with your thoughts on what makes you a network marketing professional in the last three posts. If you haven’t read the comments, they’re worth your time. Let’s look at another thing that separates the professionals from the amateurs. Recruiting. Simply put, professionals are professional recruiters. A big [...]

What Makes You a Professional, Part 3

Randy Gage — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:17:07 +0000

Okay last post we talked about doing the business in a professional way. Some great comments on that, but no one picked up on the big thing I was looking for… Namely the “scorched earth” approach so many people are taking in our profession. By this I mean the way they attack other companies. Why is [...]

What Makes You a Professional, Part 2

Randy Gage — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:41:28 +0000

Some great comments on the first post about what makes you a network marketing professional. Thanks for participating. Here’s what I think is the second distinction… How about doing the business in a professional way? Sounds simple enough, but how many thousands of people do we have doing things in an unprofessional way? Some things that jump [...]

What Makes a Professional Network Marketer?

Randy Gage — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:09:11 +0000

As you know, I wrote my Manifesto to help raise the professionalism of Network Marketing. But what exactly makes you a professional in this business? I think it will be informative to start a discussion on this. So I’ll start with some thoughts today. Please add yours below, and I’ll check in with some more ideas [...]

How You Win

Randy Gage — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:12:24 +0000

Our recent talk about distractions reminded me of something that happened in South Florida a couple years ago, and is very relevant with recent here in Asia Pacific where I am now. Back in Miami, a radio station was taking a poll among the listeners about who was thinking to move after we had a [...]

Dealing with Distractions

Randy Gage — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:40:12 +0000

Let me guess: You’d like to be building your business more, but you have some distractions you need to get out of the way. No, you need to get your own bad thinking out of your way. My sponsor is starting his divorce trial today. One of my Diamond Directors is going through a messy partnership [...]

The MLM Morons

Randy Gage — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:46:57 +0000

It’s funny I wrote my manifesto on MLM at the start of the year and it was translated into many languages and sent around the world. It almost crashed our server there were so many hits. (If you haven’t read it yet, find it here.) I wish I could say it created a shift in [...]

New Tele-Seminar

Randy Gage — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 17:29:48 +0000

Hey kids, I scheduled a new Tele-seminar for the week coming up. I’ve got an around the world tour and will be gone for about a month. So I’m squeezing this in on this coming Wednesday, October 7 before I leave. The topic is a very important one for your business: building depth. Building width gives you [...]

The BLT

Randy Gage — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:43:52 +0000

One of the greatest compliments I received after a speech was from another professional speaker. She said, “Randy, you’re a great speaker because you have BLT. The audience Believes you, they Like you, and they Trust you.” Pretty good scenario for network marketing as well. Do your prospects believe you, like you and trust you? -RG

Results: The Real Proof

Randy Gage — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:01:47 +0000

Last post we talked about the laws of growth and adjustment. How your outer circumstances shape themselves to your inner thought. I challenged you to really evaluate the thoughts you have been giving precedence to for the last week. Did you do it? Were you honest with yourself or in denial? Here is how to find out… If [...]

Thought Seeds

Randy Gage — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:58:00 +0000

James Allen tells us that every thought we have springs forth into fruit. Good thoughts bear good fruit and bad thoughts bad fruit. You know that your outer world will shape itself to the inner world created by your thoughts. Or do you? How much time did you watch television last week? What movies did you go [...]
