Today there are over 60 million people around the globe in the network marketing industry. Why?  Because it has offered people hope, a future and the ability to dream again.

Hope

Somewhere along the way people have forgotten about the things that are most important to them and have traded those things in for what I like to call “The Big Lie”.  The big lie is taught from a very young age.  Go to school, get an education and go to work for a large corporation. Then work your ass off for the next 50 years and you should have enough to retire comfortably.  How many people do you know that this has happened for?

If you have been in the workforce for any number of years, you know how it gets.  Your company wants you to do more work for the same pay.  Eventually people lose hope for a better future and after a number of years of the same old, in the same position, looking forward to their 2-4 weeks of vacation every year with a 3-5% increase in pay.  What a joke.

I am not down on jobs, I am down on corporations keeping their board of directors pockets fat while the very people who make everything happen on the front lines are losing their homes, cars and marriages.

There is no leverage when you have someone else signing your paycheck.  I think that is why people are drawn to the network marketing industry.   For the doubter who reads this, here is what I have to say, “Are you calling 60 million people idiots?”  Network marketing is often stereotyped because you knew someone who knew someone who never made any money.  What about me?  What about the thousand plus people I personally know that are making money in the industry?

Are we lucky?  Did we get in at the top of the pyramid?  I almost have to laugh at some of the things I hear sometimes.

Let me just tell you. When you are limited to what you can create in a 24 hour period, you are limited!  Every successful person as well as company has learned time compounding and how to burst past the 24 hour day through leveraging the efforts of other people. A team if you will.  The only difference is, when your working for someone elses team (A corporation), you are doing all the work and they are making all of the money. There is no hope there.

Your Future

For those serious about creating a future for themselves, network marketing provides an even playing ground for everyone.  There is no luck, there is only desire backed by lots of action and education.  The old school model of creating a future by going to school and educating yourself on how to become an employee is broke.  People go down that route because they are conditioned to want other people telling them what to do for a paycheck.  It’s comfortable.

Folks these days play it safe rather than take risk.  Nothing good ever comes about without risk.  Let me ask you if there is any risk in the person that clocks in and out or is on a salary and has to report to work.  Not much.  Now lets take a look at a real estate agent who works solely on commissions.  A little riskier right?  It’s the same thing in network marketing except you get to build a team of people you want to work with.  You get to create your own mastermind group of people who are sold out to their future instead of someone elses.

The Dream

Everyone has big dreams, however, somewhere along the way the dreams seem to get farther away from people and they end up settling for a life they were not supposed to be living.  They get caught up in the two steps forward and two steps back syndrome.  Why is it that people cant get ahead of living paycheck to paycheck.  Well, if your only getting a 2-5% pay increase and inflation is at 4% every year, some if not most people take a paycut.  Do that for 10 years and add in high interest credit cards, car payments with interest and cost of living increases and you have a dream stealer.

No one wants to talk about it and most ignore it which is why there are so many people in financial bondage.  I am here to tell you that it’s not too late.  Network marketing requires marketing.  Today, with the power of the internet as well as some super sharp people out there who are eager, willing and looking for something different to do with their lives are waiting for you to offer them an opportunity to make their dreams come true.  Is it easy?  Nope, that is why so few make it. But for those who treat this like a business and not a hobby and for those who stick with it, dreams become a reality.

Over 200,000 people every week are joining the network marketing industry on a global basis.  Are you going to sit back and watch the passing parade of humanity build hope, a future and their dream while you meander in the pool of mediocrity or are you going to rise to the occasion and make it happen.  What is your excuse going to be as to why you haven’t succeeded at the level you expected of yourself in life?

Finishing Strong

Starting Strong/Finishing Weak

Back in high school I was a wrestler. Yes I had to wear a skimpy singlet and head gear and probably looked like a dork, but let me tell you, as far as training goes, there is no sport that tests your endurance more.  For some reason at every wrestling match about 3 minutes in, if I lasted that long, I would run out of gas.

I was a very strong starter. I came out on the mat in a match with blazing guns and would try to take my opponent out in the first minute or so.  I knew I had to as I knew I was known to run out of gas by the second round and would ultimately get pinned.  I was not a strong finisher.  Why? I think it was probably mindset more than anything. Back then, I knew little about how my own mind worked, but through previous experiences, I taught myself that I couldn’t go past that second round and if I was going to win, I had to do it quickly.

A Transition To Network Marketing

Fast forward a bunch of years, I found myself in network marketing in my early 30′s.  I came out of the gates fired up and thought I was going to have my first six and they would have their six and so on, so forth.  I was like a mortar on the 4th of July.

I did sponsor 9 people in my first month in business and got all kinds of recognition.  Three months later, it was just me.  Why?  Because I let my foot off the gas thinking I had everyone in place to start building an organization and one by one, they quit.  I won’t get into how we went about sponsoring new reps as that is a whole other story.

Lesson Learned

I learned a valuable lesson though.  You have to create momentum in network marketing.  Personal momentum ALWAYS preceeds group momentum.  What happened was I was so busy trying to help those 9 build their organizations that I stopped sponsoring.  Little did I know that you NEVER stop sponsoring until you have at least 10 people on your team who have duplicated what you have done and they have people duplicating as well.

Finishing Strong

We live in a society where it has become acceptable to quit.  Take a look at the divorce rate.  Have a look at all of the people who are perfectly able to work but sit back on a piddly workers comp check or unemployment check.  Let’s face it, most people look for the easy way out.

Finishing strong means to commit. Commitment is putting all resources on the table ahead of time and burning the bridges behind you to hinder retreat.  It takes being passionate, consistent and persistent until the goal has been reached.  For some, it’s a lifelong endeavor.

Let Me Try This Out

I see way too many people who take a stab at the network marketing industry and have the “I will give it a try mentality.” If that is you, If you have put a 60-90 day trial on whether it will work for you or not, do yourself a favor and quit NOW!  It takes a good 3-5 years to create anything great.  Yes there are people that build organizations at lightening speed, however, it will take a while to get educated and up to speed.

Your Why Will Determine How High You Fly

When I ask people why they are interested in having a business of their own, I hear all kinds of reasons. A year down the road, those reasons change and become clearer.  Problem is, most don’t hang around long enough to manifest their “Why”.

You must know exactly what you want. It has to be a burning desire and something you get emotional about or you will fold like a house built of cards when times get tough.  And they will get tough. You must have a crystal clear picture of why you are doing what your doing on a daily basis and have your short term and long term goals set to become successful at anything.

In The End

I think for the most part that everyone wants to finish strong.  Make it happen. Do not waiver. Be Strong enough to battle the storms when they come and when it is all said and done and you have laid your sword on the battlefield at the end of the fight, you will know that you have made a difference in the world around you and carried out your own destiny in life..  Finish Strong.

The reality is anyone who decides they want to change their life can.

The most important part of winning at anything is making a quality decision.  It all starts with a decision backed with a commitment. You must decide what you want and when you want it and make up your mind that you won’t quit on yourself. Staying consistent and persistent is one of the biggest reasons why people either succeed or don’t and then working on yourself more than your business.  Here I will go over each of these “most important” parts of being successful in network marketing.

A Quality Decision Backed By Commitment

Everything you do and every action in life starts with a decision to do something.  In the network marketing world, it’s the decision to get started.  What I have noticed over the years is that people are afraid of making a decision.  Let me relate this to you in the simplest form.  How many times have you been out on a dinner date with your friend or significant other and asked ” What are you going to have?” Most will say, “I don’t know, what are you going to have?”  You see, that may not seem like much, however, that is indecisiveness at its finest.

Successful people are quick to make decisions and slow to change them.

Once the decision is made, it must be backed up with commitment.  I have to ask you…What is your level of commitment to creating lifestyle?  Are you willing to do whatever it takes?  Make a decision and be unwavering in changing it.

Deciding You’re Not Going To Quit

Until you close the back door of retreat, you will never reach your full potential.  You see, when you have the opportunity to fall back on something, you will never give it your all.  To really succeed at anything and to become a true winner, you have to burn your bridges to retreat.  Sure it’s risky, so is everything else in life.  Without risk there is no reward.  Go for it, you and your family deserve it.  Make no small plans for they will stir no mans blood.

Stay Persistent and Consistent

A lot of folks have very short term mentalities.  They try something for a period of time and if things don’t work out the way they envisioned, they either quit or let off the gas.  Life anything else in life worth chasing, you must be persistent and consistent in your efforts.  This is especially true in network marketing.

In my early years in network marketing I heard my up line say, get started, get wide, stay steady and don’t quit.  Those words have rang through my head ever since.  Though I have shifted my focus in business towards the internet and to a new business model, the thought process remains the same.

Most people get started out of excitement of being a part of something they feel can solve their problem.  Their decisions are based on emotions.  When the emotion leaves, you will have success.  Don’t make decisions based on how you feel or what you see, make them based on what is right.

Work On Yourself Constantly

Lastly, work on yourself constantly.  Your business will never outgrow your self esteem!  How you feel about yourself is how others will feel about you.  You have what I call the ear gate and the eye gate.  You must protect both of them as if your life depends on it.  What you read and what you listen to have everything to do with where you will be in the next 5 years.  Always be putting good stuff in your head through reading personal development books and listening to CD’s/MP3′s, etc.  Engulf yourself in personal development.  If you’re ever going to lead a team of people, you have to learn how to lead and deal with folks.

Make reading a habit. The folks with the largest bank accounts and largest teams are readers.  Leaders are readers.

Ok, so wrapping it all up here, Make a decision to get started, Get Committed, Stay persistent, don’t ever quit and work on your positive mental attitude.

There are Six Areas To Master If You Want To Become A Top Producer In The Network Marketing or MLM Business.

Mentoring

Find someone who is where you want to be in life or someone who can watch your blind spots
and let them mentor you. Beg them, barter with them, but do something to allow them to coach
you.

You also want to be mentoring others while your being mentored. There is something to be said
about giving your time away. Be wise about it and don’t waste your time mentoring people that
are not coachable.

If you take a look at any of the top leaders in the business world, they all have mentors in
one shape or form.

Positioning

Self Branding is one of the most crucial areas to work on. You can have all 5 areas I am going
to talk about here, but if you miss this one, it’s the deal breaker.

Part of this is owning your name in the search engines. What comes up when you Google yourself?
Is it you or is someone trashing your name. People who have positioned and branded themselves
properly own the first 5 pages of Google for their name. Yep, that is the first 50 spots.

Make yourself an expert in your niche.

Outsourcing

Figure out what the most profitable thing you do in your network marketing business is and outsource
the rest.  Top producers know that time is the most valuable commodity. Free yourself up and
do the things that produce the biggest results. Outsource the things you dont like to do.

This is about building “Your Team”. Having a team of professionals that are trained to do the tasks
to keep your business running. This is part of your mastermind group. Over time, your team will become your
most valuable asset. They will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.

This is how you can eventually get to a 2-4 hour work day and truley enjoy the benefits
of owning your own business.

Having Multiple Streams of Income

When you have cronic headaches you don’t go to an advil prescription specialist, you go to a doctor to get diagnosed. He will then prescribe the remedy.

It’s the same thing in our business. Most people in the network marketing industry only concentrate on
their specific business and it’s product.

Once a prospect qualifies themself for my time, I ask a lot of questions as I don’t have a one size
fits all business.  I find out exactly what people are looking to accomplish and what it is that “THEY WANT”.
Once I know this, I can them take a look into my arsenal of solutions and prescribe it.

Be a solution provider and a problem solver.

Paid Marketing

There are tons of methods to market your business.  Paid marketing brings the most robust results when it comes to
lead generation and analytics.  To find out what works and what doesnt, you need quite a bit of traffic to your site
to see how it is converting to sales.  You can then tweak it for optimum results. Paid traffic and free traffic convert very differently. I have access to over 30 sources of paid traffic.

Free Traffic

Free traffic can come from blogging, article writing, social networks like Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. This traffic takes time to build but converts very well as people really get to know the real you, unless of course your faking it. People can read right through you on the social networks so be careful. The only person you will fool is yourself.

Take these 6 areas and master them all. If you fall short in one or two of these areas, work on them as they may be exactly what is holding you back from being MASSIVELY successful in business.

More and More Americans are turning to the Network Marketing Industry rather than brick and mortar businesses.

In today’s uncertain economy and with traditional businesses becoming more and more risky to venture into. A lot of those entrepreneurs are turning to the Internet network marketing industry to build their financial empires.

There are several reasons for this. 1 out of every 2 traditional businesses goes bankrupt within its first year of operation and the risk is just too high. From the initial investment needed to start a brick and mortar business to the capital they will need for their first few years of operation it sometimes runs into the hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to get a business profitable.

Network Marketing allows the average person to leverage their time as well as resources. With the power of the internet and the access to over 1.5 billion people around the globe that are on the web, it offers a robust platform to penetrate a market with a fraction of the cost of a franchise or other start-up business.

With the Internet, you have no light bill, no employees, no payroll and very little overhead in comparison.  Entrepreneurs like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are endorsing the Network Marketing industry and for good reason.  In fact, Robert Kiyosaki said that if he had to build his wealth all over again, he would have done it in this industry.

The sad thing is, most people have a negative connotation about the industry because they just dont understand it or they have heard something from someone that had failed in the industry and got a bad taste in their mouth because of it.

The truth is, it’s the only way other than investments to create a passive income.

In today’s Internet Business model, it is not uncommon for people to replace their current income in just a few short months with a modest work ethic.  The caliber of people that the industry attracts is astounding.  Everyone from doctors, lawyers, CEO’s and Real Estate professionals are very attracted to the industry due to the time compounding and freedom it affords it’s top earners.

The price of admission is anywhere from $200 to $20,000 which is a steal compared to the hundreds of thousands people will invest in a franchise business.  There is way less risk and way more reward.

In conclusion, if you have been thinking of owning your own business and know that the internet is where business is shifting, there has never been a better time to develop the skills and knowledge to build a successful network marketing empire.

To Your Success,
