My Biggest “Aha” From 2012 And Where That Has Me Headed Next.

admin — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 04:12:37 +0000

I’ve been pretty busy this year working with network marketers all over the world. This is what I took away from it. No matter what country I happen to be in I see the same problem. Most distributors in the MLM industry don’t have a clue what it takes to run a business! Here’s the bigger problem. Nobody ever told you that this is something you might want to think about learning. And finally even if you do figure this out on your own, where do you go to learn?

That’s it… my biggest “Aha” from 2012. More people fail in this industry because they unknowingly take their previous skill sets as employees and apply them to their new business than any other.

So where does that have me headed and what does that mean for you?

I mean who could say no to these faces = )

Recently I got rid of my places in Los Angeles and Manila, Philippines and moved back to my hometown of Houston, TX. While I was partly persuaded from two of my favorite people in the world, my niece and nephew Brailey and Brayden, my primary reason for moving back was YOU.

After traveling and living all over the world for 4 of the last 5 years I have made a decision to settle back in my hometown so that I could have more time to help you with this problem I see so many network marketers struggle from.

Running a real network marketing business boils down to 5 things. You Must:

1) Develop An Entrepreneur’s Mindset
2) Understand Marketing Strategies To Find New Prospects On A Regular Basis
3) Have The Sales Skills To Sign Those Prospects Up
4) Become A Leader Who Can Attract Better People And Continue To Guide Your Team In The Right Direction
5) Know How To Combine All The Above To Continue Expanding Your Business Outside Of Your Home Market

With my lighter travel schedule freeing up some of my time here are two things I have on the way to help you get better in these 5 areas of your business.

1) I plan on hosting regular webinars and other ways for you to connect with me and share your challenges so that I can give you real world advice to break through those hurdles.

2) I will be launching Scott TV, a regular video series to openly address the questions I get from Network Marketers on a weekly basis. Do you have questions you want answered? Shoot over an email to scott@themlmblogger.com and let me know.

Here is my goal with this new direction. I want to give you more access so you can get the personalized attention you need to grow your business.

Warning About My Message

My message will come with a NO BULL*&!# attitude. I will be short as possible but thorough as necessary. While my message may not always be welcome in the uber-positive eutopia the mlm industry attempts to build for us, I am candid because I know you can take it. Always remember that regardless of what anybody tells you… Hope is not a strategy!

As I create value for you here at TheMLMBlogger I’m happy whether you love me or hate me, but if you leave here indifferent I’ve missed my mark.

While these are broad updates, stay tuned for the nitty gritty of whats on the way very soon.

If you like where I am headed and want to be apart of it then go to the box at the top of this page and and let me know the best way to contact you and keep you in the loop. As a bonus when you do this I send over a copy of my Internet Implementation Toolkit to help you get your business online the fastest way I know how. People tell me I should charge for this (seriously!), but for now my generosity behooves me.

Success,

Here’s Why Your Prospects Are Dodging You

admin — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:57:48 +0000

Isn’t it weird?

A prospect goes to a website and puts his phone number in a form and expresses interest in starting a business.

Then when you call the prospect, he replies:

1. Ummmmm no, don’t remember any form
2. Can you remove me from your list
3. Why don’t you people get a life!

Ever wonder why this strange phenomenon is happening? Here is what’s going on…

The prospect obviously filled out the form, but they have changed their mind and to avoid accepting responsibility they put all the blame on you like you are the one doing something wrong.

Prospects make an instant judgement about you based on the first impression. So how do you make a better introduction?

Here’s two things you can do to make a killer first impression when you meet your prospects

Good Impression Secret #1: Focus on their needs first

Focus on their needs until you are clear you understand what those needs are, and then show them how you can meet those needs.

Its amazing how many times I’ve listened over an associate’s introduction which sounded something like this:

“Hi this is John Doe, and I am calling you about Company X. Our company was started by the greatest man alive. We are the only company out there with a patented revolutionary product Y.”

Not that great, right?

Instead why not start off by simply asking them why they filled out a form. If they get snappy with you instead of being defensive keep things focused on them. Tell them you are just calling to see what they are trying to accomplish and see if you could help.

During the process always remember that you are the one in control, and you are the one with an opportunity that can change their life. It’s not the other way around. If they have too much of an attitude and are not open to talking to you after expressing interest in them thats when you say “next” and move on!

Good Impression Secret #2: lead with value

Most people are so caught up in their offer that they forget to think about whats in it for the prospect.

If you will do one thing it will change your business forever.

If you have focused on their needs then really put some thought into how you or your company can meet those needs. Not everybody needs more money! Joining your company may not even be the best thing for them.

I was once talking with a friend who was just out of college trying to move up in the company they were working for. During the conversation they revealed to me that their supervisor had recently pulled them aside and told him that he loved his effort and attitude, but wanted to see him improve as a manager and learn to delegate better.

For most struggling network marketers this would have fell on deaf ears, and the next questions would have been something like, “Well maybe you should check into other things like…. uhhhh I dont know my mlm company.”

I knew my friend was excited about his job, so instead I recommended two of the best books I know on delegation and also leadership. He called me back about a month later saying how much the books had helped him. During that conversation he also said his wife’s aunt was having some problems that he thought I could help with.

That person, Michelle has been a customer who has been ordering from me consistently for the last three years.

There is other ways to add value than getting them started in your company. Once you realize this and start providing value first, magic things will happen to your business. And when the time comes to present your business people will be much more open.

If you want more prospecting secrets come connect with me on Facebook where I provide a simple but effective approach to prospecting that gets people coming to you.

What Everyone Should Know About MLM Leaders

admin — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:12:24 +0000

Is there something top MLM leaders haven’t told us? Have they all joined a secret network marketing fraternity that reveals never before seen secrets and strategies?

I hate to bust your bubble but there isn’t a reveal all secret society that top MLM leaders found. However, if you are trying to figure out how to become a network marketing leader then you need to know what these top earners all have in common.

What all top MLM leaders did from the beginning

The first thing to realize is that all top MLM leaders in this industry treated there business like a big enterprise from the beginning. They knew that work had to be done and they scheduled time for that work to get done every day. They may have started outsourcing some or most of their work along the way, but they always made sure the work got done.

They took their enterprises very seriously. They didn’t treat it like a hobby. If you want a hobby go collect stamps! And even if they started part-time they worked their enterprise with the intention of going full-time as soon as they could.

They knew investing their time and money was the only way to increase their profits. Even if they struggled to find money in the beginning they invested what they had and always put part of their profits back into their business as it grew.

The MLM Leaders Mindset

MLM leaders developed an entrepreneurial thought process. They replaced their “if” attitude with a “how” attitude. They knew it wasn’t a matter of “if” it would work, but “how” it would work, and they were willing to risk everything spending how ever long it took to find the “how”.

They understood that success never happens overnight, and they created a doable business plan they could be consistent with over an extended period of time. They knew where they were going and moved closer to their destination every single day.

MLM leaders understood network marketing organizations take time to build. You can make money right away, but to create a stable income that is going to pay you even if you are not working you need leaders. Developing leaders requires patience, and the top producers realized this going in.

They realized that failure was a must in order to succeed, and that every time they failed it moved them further toward their goals. They took massive action in the beginning with little to no knowledge and they learned as they failed forward.

They got over their issues with the phone. They knew they had to build relationships in order to succeed, and they knew they couldn’t do that without the phone. Many of them are also traveling and living out of hotels on a regular basis to support their team. True MLM leaders are not scared to carry a sleeping bag to their team’s house when duty calls!

Even though many MLM leaders imply they’re not doing much, most of them are constantly working there business. Even when they are not working they are scheming and thinking of ways they can get better and increase their income.

They understood in MLM you profit when product is moved, and the way to to increase product movement is to increase the number of individuals in the organization who are promoting and selling the goods. So they spend lots of the time prospecting and sponsoring to build their salesforce.

They all knew that the only way to succeed was helping others prosper. The reason behind everything they did in there business was to help others have success in life.

Do you have what it takes to become one of those MLM Leaders?

Ask yourself…

Are you willing to devote the next 5 years of your life completely focused on your business and helping people?

Are you willing to roll up your sleeves and go to work investing your time and money in order to profit?

Have you taken the time to write out a business plan and a daily schedule and started following it?

If there is a secret top MLM leaders forget to talk about sometimes it would simply be that you have to become an entrepreneur to succeed. Entrepreneurs are willing to overcome adversity to prevail, they constantly focus on improvement and increasing their bottom line, and they make sure they are moving forward every day!

3 Types of MLM Prospects To Look For

admin — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 08:56:26 +0000

As you build your network marketing business you need to be searching for mlm prospects that are looking for more out of life. The people that succeed in this industry all started out by realizing the current path they were on in life was not going to give them the future they wanted. These people are ready to take action and they are waiting for someone like you to show them what that action is.

Do you know the best way to find people like this?

Winston Churchill said once that, “At some time in everybody’s life people will stumble across opportunity, but sadly, most people will pick themselves up and walk away as if nothing happened.”

You will always be able to sponsor reps and increase your network marketing income, however the current economic climate has created a great opportunity that may very well only happen once in our lifetime. This opportunity has not only opened people up to hearing about your opportunity, it’s also created the right mindset for them to take action.

The current economy has got 3 types of mlm prospects looking for what you have to offer. You need to keep your eyes open for these people and make sure that you are not passing up this huge opportunity in front of you.

The 3 types of MLM prospects to look for

1. The college graduate that can’t find a job

Right now good jobs are hard to come by. They are limited and the people who find them usually have years of experience under their belt or knew someone “on the inside”. Lot’s of young adults that were excited to graduate from college and start earning were surprised to find that nobody would take them in.

Many of them are staying at their parent’s house holding out for an employer to give them a chance. The rest of them have taken odd jobs that have nothing to do with the degree they received in school.

These people are extremely frustrated. They did what they were told their whole lives. Just go to college and get a degree and you will be set. Now they realize that a degree is not all it was hyped up to be and are looking for other ways to earn income, making them great mlm prospects.

2. The employee that doesn’t know if he will have a job next month

The number of jobs that have been lost in the last few years is unbelievable. Many people who are still employed have watched this happening and realize that they can’t rely on corporate loyalty.

These mlm prospects are going to work, but worry if their job will even be there in the future. They are looking for a way to secure their future financially.

3. The entrepreneur that lost it all

Lot’s of entrepreneurs who are used to multiple six-figure incomes have lost it all in this challenging economy. These people are my favorite type of prospect. You should get into the habit of asking people if they have every worked for themselves, and find out more about the ones who have.

Most of the people who had success as an entrepreneur are hating going to work as an employee or they are looking for a way to replace the income they lost. The only thing worse than not having money is having lot’s of it and then losing it all!

Entrepreneurs who have been successful in the past have already shown they have the traits needed to be successful and make great mlm prospects. They are open and waiting for you to show them away that they can create the income they lost.

Questions you can ask to find these mlm prospects

What did you go to school to study?
Did you find it hard to find work after graduating?
How has the economy affected your industry?
Has anyone lost jobs where you work?
Have you ever worked for yourself in the past?

There is a huge opportunity right now for you to take advantage of. Tons of people are looking for more in life. They just need someone to show them a way to get it. Start asking the right questions and keeping your ears open for these mlm prospects, and ask them if they are open to looking at another way to earn income outside of what they are currently doing if it didn’t interfere.

How To Triple Your Income By Improving Your Follow Up

admin — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:04:23 +0000

The number one reason that most people struggle to sponsor new reps into their organization is lack of followup.

If you want to set yourself apart from the crowd and join the ranks of mlm professionals then do yourself a favor and learn these critical followup techniques.

1) Be precise and nail down a specific time

Never let a prospect leave a meeting again without first confirming the next appointment. Even though we hope that our prospects will join on the first meeting, the simple fact is more times than not they don’t pull out their credit card. So when they get ready to leave ask them when the best time to get back to them is. Be very specific with the time.

If they absolutely refuse to give you a followup time then at least determine for yourself when you will follow up with them.

2) Use the Calendar

If you don’t put it in your calendar your not going to remember it. I like to use google calendar which is free and set up email reminders so that every morning when I wake up I have all my calls I need to make write in my inbox.

3) Get Closure

I will follow up with someone two times without getting a response. On the third go around I will get closure by just letting them know its ok if they don’t want to join. That the friendship is more important to me than them joining the business. I will also let them know that I will give them a call in a couple months just to see how things are going.

4) Follow Through

If someone didn’t join now then schedule them into your calendar for two months from now. When they come up call them and check in. By the way don’t be one of these annoying pushy people that try to cram your opportunity down their throat. Just call them to catch up and see how things are going. If they are happy with everything then wait a couple more months and then follow up again. If you continue to do this then you will #1 Show you really care #2 Look more professional than the person that calls once only to never be heard from again.

Always remember just because someone doesn’t join today does not mean that they won’t join the business 2 months from now or even 2 years from now. Keeping a long-term perspective in the business makes followup much easier. Ultimately prospects are just telling you know now. There is never a wrong prospect just wrong timing.

Following Up On Auto-Pilot

I personally always like following up with my “hot” prospects with personal phone calls and sometimes even handwritten postcards and letters. These “hot” prospects are people that I would enjoy working with and have the skills I look for in an ideal prospect.

However, if you are following up correctly after a while you should have a huge list of people that need to be contacted on a regular schedule. Once you get to this point I highly recommend setting up an autoresponder with a service like Aweber or GetResponse so that you can load up some messages that automatically get sent out to your prospects. This allows your prospect to reach out to you when he’s ready for more information.

9 Reasons Why Some People Always Succeed

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 09:28:35 +0000

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to always find success no matter what they are doing. Do you ever wonder what these people are doing?

This is no accident, success follows specific actions. The great news is that if you learn these 9 things and start applying them you can be one of them.

1. Know What You Want

You can’t hit a target you can’t see. The first step to your success in network marketing is taking the time to become crystal clear about what you want network marketing to help you accomplish.

Money is not the answer!

Too many people think that they want more money. If you were not allowed to spend it then money would be meaningless. The true value of money comes with the ability to exchange it for things you want to bring into your life.

Take out a sheet of paper right now and make a list of 15 things you are going to do differently once you are making an extra $10,000 a month.

Once your done keep this in front of you on a regular basis. When you face challenges and setbacks pull this list out to remind you why you are doing this.

2. Make The Decision

Once you have a list of things you want in your life make a decision that you are going to do whatever it takes to get them. Don’t be one of the people that fail simply because they never made the decision to go “all-in”.

Network Marketing is not for the faint of heart. It requires commitment, dedication, and perseverance. The effort and time it requires to reach success is definitely worth it. You just need to realize from the beginning that you are rewarded only after doing the work.

Decide today that you are “all-in” and tell yourself, “I am on a new road in life and their is no turning back.”

3. Learn to enjoy the process

As you move ahead in your business always remember to enjoy the process. Happiness is a feeling, determined by your outlook on life. Have an attitude of gratitude. Always be grateful for the things you do have, and never ever focus on the things you don’t.

It’s going to take some time to create a solid business, so have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself when you make mistakes.

4. Create rock solid beliefs

There are 4 beliefs you need to develop so you will have rock solid confidence.

Belief in your industry

Belief in your company

Belief in the product or service you are promoting

Belief in yourself

Developing these beliefs will give you the posture you need to attract great people into your organization. Without posture you will struggle at sponsoring people regardless of how much you know and can present. Your lack of belief will be communicated through your posture.

Ask yourself right now on a scale from 1-10 how strong your belief is in each area. If its not a 10 across the board go to work to increase those scores.

5. Think about everything from a long-term perspective

People often overestimate what they can do in the short-term and underestimate what they can do in the long-term.

You must understand that this business is going to take time for you to create a full-time income. Success can come quick and you can start earning right away.

But to create a true asset that will continue to pay you even if you want to walk away you need to develop leaders. Developing leaders takes time.

Be prepared to work at least 2 to 5 years consistently to create a long-term asset.

6. Take action immediately

The network marketing industry tells us to continue reading and learning so we can stay motivated and develop new skills. Never mistake this and get caught in the thinking trap.

Spend some time everyday learning, but take action immediately after your done.

If you are taking notes make them action notes. I used to take pages and pages of notes, and then set it aside never returning to it. I have learned to be more selective. Today I write down only the things worth taking action on.

Learn to think in terms of action. Always ask yourself, “How can I apply this?” If you are taking lot’s of notes make sure you are immediately marking the things that you can apply and then putting into action.

Reading and listening to educational and motivational information is great. However, your best break throughs come from applying what you learn.

7. Do something everyday that moves you closer to your goals

If you put a pot of water on the stove to boil and turned the heat on and off repeatedly the water would never boil. However, when you put that same pot on the stove and leave it on a medium heat it will eventually boil.

The same is true with this business. You can’t be on and off with your business and expect results. You must be doing something that moves you closer to your goals everyday.

Make sure you are doing money making activities daily.

Connecting with new people that could benefit from what you have to offer

Presenting information on your product / service or opportunity

Leverage yourself by developing your leaders & downline

8. Work on yourself daily

Just like a fruit starts rotting after it gets ripe, we start rotting the second we think we know it all.

Successful people are constantly filling their head with educational and inspirational information that will move them toward their goals. If you had the skills you needed to create the income you desire then you would already be making it!

You must be constantly filling your head with motivational and educational material.

What are you listening to this week that is moving you forward?

9. Make your primary focus about helping others

I heard once that you should spend so much time helping your team earn in the beginning that you don’t have time to cash your own checks! Thank goodness for Auto-Deposit!

Too many people go into meetings focusing on how much income that person is going to generate by joining. Even though you don’t say it with your words you communicate it with your body language, and it turns people off.

If you go into meetings with the intention of just listening to what people want in life first and then if it’s a fit showing that person how your business can give them those things it makes all the difference in the world. Start looking for ways to help people even if it isn’t signing them up in your business and that will be reciprocated in your life.

The Secret of Creating Rock Solid Confidence

admin — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:08:38 +0000

I first started my network marketing business I failed miserably in the beginning. Nobody was joining my organization and I couldn’t figure out why. I went to all the trainings and learned to say all the right things but that didn’t help. I only sponsored 1 person my entire first year in network marketing.

13 months later I finally figured out my problem, which you may be struggling with yourself. After I fixed this one thing I went from sponsoring 1 person the previous year to sponsoring 11 people in one week.

What you have to realize when it comes to presenting your business or product is the most important thing doesn’t come from the words you use in your presentation. It’s the confidence you have when you say them.

If you lack confidence it doesn’t matter how much studying you do you won’t be able to grow your business.

The key to creating rock solid confidence is to develop your beliefs. Read the 4 beliefs needed to create confidence below, and then ask yourself on a scale from 1-10 what your belief level is in each area. After you answer this question you need to start working on raising those numbers up to a 10 across the board. Afterwards I’ll reveal with you a shortcut that helped me do it in less than a week.

Develop these 4 beliefs and start presenting your business with confidence

Belief #1 – Your Industry

How much belief do you have in Network Marketing? Do you think it works? Do you see the true value it has to impact the lives of people you know?

For people struggling in this area I highly advise you pick up a copy of the following Robert Kiyosaki’s books

The Business School for People Who Like Helping People

Rich Dad’s CASHFLOW Quadrant

In these books Kiyosaki explains the concept of owning your own business. If you are here you probably already have no doubt that a business can give you advantages you would never receive as an employee.

What he goes on to explain is the three types of business someone can create.

A Big Business like Apple or Coca Cola

A Franchises

A Network Marketing Business

By the time you finish the book you will realize that for the average person Network Marketing is one of the only ways people have to start their own business.

There are many reasons why Network Marketing is the only option for the average person. Some of them are:

You can work it part-time while keeping your full-time job

Your upline and the company can offer you education that will give you skills needed to run a business

You get support from people that have a genuine interest in helping you succeed

You can get started for usually around $500 bucks

Belief #2 – Your Primary Company

Make sure you do the research on your company. Is it solid?

This is something I can’t answer for you. Chances are that the company you are with is great, because there are plenty of awesome companies out there.

However, don’t make the mistake of building an organization with a company you can’t believe in or one that you doubt will be around down the road.

Some questions you can ask yourself:

Will their be people who need this company’s product 20 years from now?

Does the company have a proven track record?

What does the company do to ensure the success of it’s associates?

Does the management team have integrity?

If you already know your company is rock solid then ask yourself, What are the reasons?

Make sure you know the answers, and so it’s communicated to your prospects.

Belief #3 – The Product or Service You Are Promoting

Start taking your product if you haven’t already, and pay attention to the benefits it brings into your life.

And don’t just buy the product, try it, and then leave it on the shelf.

It’s hard to create belief in something you don’t have personal experience with. Use the product on a regular basis while you are building your business. It could take some time to see all the benefits.

Be prepared for a question that always comes up… How has the product worked for you?

Once you start to acquire some customers make sure you take the time to ask them how the product is working for them. Don’t be discouraged if some people are not seeing the results they expected. Not everybody takes the product how they should. You are looking for the people who do get results. If the product you are promoting is a quality product you will find them.

Once you have your personal experience and the stories from others you will be able to relay that to your customers and new team members.

Belief #4 – YOURSELF

The last but most important is belief in yourself!

Ask yourself, “Do I believe that I have what it takes to be successful in this industry?”

If you answered no then you need to decide what you are lacking to be successful. Once you figure it out you need to do whatever it takes to acquire those skills.

Belief in yourself is often the one I see people struggle with the most. It takes some people a little time to get it. It took me over a year!

You must start telling yourself over and over “I am the best”. Repeat it until you believe it! As a human being walking this planet you have the ability to do anything you want in life. You are unique and can provide value to people in a way that no other person can.

If you are still lacking in the area some things to do are:

Continue feeding yourself with motivational and educational information.

Create positive affirmations you tell yourself. Start out with “I am the best”.

Find people with a similar background who are already successful, and meet them.

Attend events aimed at improving yourself.

How I developed all 4 beliefs in less than a week

In my experience the best way to increase your belief in all 4 areas fast is to go to your company convention. That’s what I did and after 1 year of struggle I was able to sponsor 11 people in one week.

It requires an investment on your part and you may have to take vacation time, but in the end I know of no other way to develop your believe faster than a company convention. There is power in seeing the corporate headquarters, meeting the founders, and seeing usually thousands of people who have already created the success you are looking to achieve.

If you can develop these 4 beliefs you will be able to start speaking confidently in your presentations and before you know it you will be bringing new people into your organization on a regular basis. Once you have the confidence you become attractive to other people. People want to know and be associated with confident people who know where they are going.

The 7 Actions That Always Produce MLM Results

admin — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:05:52 +0000

People ask me all the time for tips on how to get mlm results. Here are 7 tips to help ensure you become an mlm jedi master!

Decide

Decide that you are going to do the things that it takes to get the mlm results you want. The only difference between the people that walk across stage and the people that don’t is that the ones that make the walk at some point decided they were going to make the walk.

Always remember it’s choice not chance that will determine your destiny

Go to work on yourself

You cannot create anything greater than yourself. If you are not moving as fast as you want the thing thats holding you back is always internal.

Start building a library of both books and audios I personally read 2 to 6 books a month and listen to 10 to 30 hours of audio a week.

Start hanging around winners

I always tell people to do themselves a favor and get rid of all the negative people in their life. We all have those people that give us a hard time about “getting involved in one of those things”. My take on it is that they don’t have to join the business or take your products but if they can’t be supportive and encouraging to you about your decision then you need to get rid of them or they will hold you back.

You will never see an eagle soaring through the air carrying around turkeys

Get And Service 10 Customers

If you can get and service 10 customers then you can teach your team to do the same. This means as you grow your organization that your customer base will grow. Unlike all distributors, customers are around for one reason. They love the product, which means they are going to be around a while which makes your business more secure.

Sometimes with downline it seems like they get abducted by aliens and are never to be heard from again. This never happens with my customers.

Present the biz to 3 new people a week

Sometimes people get going and trick themselves into believing they are building the biz when in reality they are just hanging out in the social club. While this business is fun you have to stay focused on the mission which is to network with NEW people.

Remember at all times you are only 1 to 2 people away from making Big money… And heres the thing… You don’t know who that person is. You could meet him tomorrow. So keep your antenna up and never prejudge a prospect.

Start believing you will get mlm results

Somewhere between the age of 10 and 14 we stop being told that we can be anything and we get told to start being realistic. But being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. We have to wash out all the negative thoughts that we have been brainwashed with. I constantly listen to motivational material and picture myself having achieved the success I want to achieve. Negative thoughts are 7 times more powerful than positive ones so it requires constant work to erase the negative trash people throw at us.

Don’t quit until you have the mlm results you want

Too many people quit when success is right around the corner. People don’t want to do the hard work now but unless you do then you will pay the price the rest of your life.

Everybody gets discouraged especially if they are not seeing mlm results as fast as they expected. But the thing to remember is that it only takes one victory to erase away a lifetime of failures.

When you are debating whether this biz is worth it always remember the alternative. 95% of people are dead or dead broke by the time they are 65. By succeeding in this business you ensure you are not included in that 95%.

Even if it takes you 5 years to succeed, you only have to do the hard work once to reap a lifetime worth of benefits.

There are many more principles you can master, but these are 7 solid ones that will ensure you start seeing mlm results as soon as you apply them.

15 Habits That Will Sabotage Your Success

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:13:40 +0000

Sometimes in life we get stuck in a rut and have no idea how we got there. Here are 15 things that keep us from moving forward in life. Correct these things and get out of any rut for good.

1. Aiming for perfection

There is no such thing as perfect. What a sad world it would be if there was. A perfect life would mean that things can’t get any better. Instead of perfection aim for completion and constant improvement.

2. Waiting for the time to be right

What’s worth doing tomorrow should be done today. The right time is right now. Decide what you want and do something each day that will move you towards your goal.

3. Living in your “Glory Days”

You can’t change the past, so don’t focus on it. Instead reflect on the past and focus on the present.

4. Throwing pity parties for yourself

No matter how bad it is for you, someone else has it worse. Life’s hard and has lot’s of challenges but feeling sorry for yourself won’t change that. Focus on the things you are grateful for.

5. Hanging out with negative people

Those people who are constantly complaining in life. Get rid of these people and find people who are going somewhere in life. You become you who you hang out with.

6. Living in your comfort zone

If you are comfortable and happy with your life it means you are not growing. Get outside your comfort zone, attack your fears until they are gone. Then go find something else that scares the hell out of you and attack it.

7. Competing with others

The most important competition in life is with yourself. Stop comparing yourself to other people and start competing with yourself. Your daily goal should be to make sure the person you are tomorrow is better than the person you are today.

8. Not focusing

You can do anything but not everything. Instead of trying to change a bunch of things pick 1 to 3 things you could change that would have the greatest impact on you and go to work with intense focus.

9. Waiting on luck to come to you

Luck is not going to come knock on your door. Instead of waiting for luck to come to you go find it. The harder you work the luckier you will get.

10. Looking for someone to blame

Blaming anybody but yourself for what happens to you in life is admitting to yourself that your success is not in your own hands. Take responsibility for what happens to you in life. It’s the only way to control your destiny.

11. Not smiling enough

Go through life with an attitude of gratitude. Learn to smile at the little things and it will make a big difference in your life.

12. Giving up too soon

Learn to fail forward. If something is worth going after, then its worth going through the struggles to get it. Nobody gets it right on the first round. Every failure is a step closer to your goal.

13. Not taking enough risk

Everything in life has risk, but your rewards in life will never be greater than your risks.

14. Not forgiving yourself

So you’ve messed up in the past. We all do. You can’t move forward in life until you forgive yourself. True forgiveness is realizing the past couldn’t have been any different.

15. Not enjoying the ride

No matter which way you spin it, life is hard. Make sure that on your journey in life that you take time to enjoy the little things. Don’t spend so much time on the destination that you forget to enjoy the ride. Every moment that passes is a moment that you will never recapture.

Are You Working Harder Than You Should Be

admin — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 11:01:06 +0000

One of the hardest bust most important things you have to learn as an entrepreneur is that doing less does not make you lazy. This is radically different than what you are taught growing up and it challenges the norm.

Society starts you off all wrong

It all starts with your parents telling you the most important thing is that you do your best. It doesn’t matter what your grades are as long as you are giving your best effort!

Then you graduated and your teachers started marking your report card with an “E” for good effort, or “S” for satisfactory behavior. If you played sports growing up then at some point your coach probably gave you the ole “It doesn’t matter whether we win or lose, what matters is that you leave it all out their during the game.”

Then we take our first job, and we are rewarded for the amount of hours we clock in. If you produce double the results in the same 8 hours your check at the end of the week will be the same.

Becoming an entrepreneur requires you to shift how you define productivity

Usually by the time you make the decision to become an entrepreneur you are brainwashed into thinking that you have to work long hours to make more income.

Most people running a Network Marketing business don’t even view themselves as entrepreneurs.

The first thing you must realize to become more productive in your business is to realize that you are an entrepreneur. You must then start working to shift the way you look at productivity.

As an entrepreneur you have to understand that you get rewarded and paid for one thing. That is results!

The reality of owning your own business and peak performance as an adult comes from not working harder but working smarter. It doesn’t matter how hard you work there will always be someone willing to work harder and for cheaper!

Even though our culture wrongly rewards personal sacrifice you have to shift your thinking to personal productivity. To succeed you need to learn to work smarter. Does it bother you that there are people out there working less hours than you and making 10, 20, 300 times more than you!

You need to take a look at your life.

Get rid of the things that don’t

Move you toward your goals

Add to your bottom line

Bring you closer to the people you care about

There is no reason you need to keep things in your life, that don’t add value to your or the people around you.

Always be asking yourself before starting a new task, “Is doing this really necessary.” If you didn’t do it would it affect your income?

Don’t be afraid to cut out things that are not making your money. Your financial success depends on this!

Focus on the things that increase your income and deepen your relationships. In today’s world there will always be more work you can do, but the person who figures out how to get results while doing the least amount of work is the real winner.
