Network Marketing is not a free ride to Riches!

September 25th, 2007

I will tell you right here and now that if you are looking for a home business in the Network Marketing Industry and are expecting to just start and make a ton of money, there is a whole lot more involved. A home business has the potential of making you a fortune. In this business opportunity you can be making $20,000 to $50,000 in just a matter of months. So the potential is out of this world as far as the opportunity, but if you expect those kind of results without much effort on your part, you are in for a headache. This home business will produce the results if you are willing to put in effort, thought, creativity, and consistency into your business with a willingness to be mentored by those who have what you are looking for.

We came into Network Marketing about two and a half years ago. We were unfamiliar with internet marketing and direct sales but knew the potential of this business model. If it is riches you desire or time freedom, the only way to get that is to move from being paid for your time to being paid for the results you produce. Most people are afraid of the results they might produce so they will not ever become an entrepreneur. Living in fear will get you nowhere. The only way to obtain both money and time is to create if for yourself by starting a business. The beauty of it all is that you do not have to be creative by coming up with your own business plan. You can just use ideas created by other people to make your fortune and then maybe get creative further down the road with a heck of a lot more capitol to work with. Starting a home based business is a perfect example of that. In home business, we have a perfected and systematic way for you to create wealth. Just plug in, put forth the effort, creativity and consistency and you will be on your way to making a ton of money and actually have the time to enjoy it all.

Many successful authors and business men have mentioned the potential of Network Marketing. T. Harv Eker, Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki to just name a few. Donald Trump while up on stage was asked, if he had to do it all over again, where would he start? He said that he would start a home business in Network Marketing. The crowd laughed at him. He said in a rough quote, “That is why I am here and you are there!” How powerful is that and I hope each person that was laughing realizes where their mindset has gotten them. They were all watching Donald for a reason. They respect him for his accomplishments and probably desire what he has. He didn’t get there by expecting a free ride!

So if you are looking for a home business that will produce a consistent 5 figure income as you are consistent, then this is the business for you. For more information, click on the link.

Network Marketing can make you rich!

September 23rd, 2007

Well I guess I should rephrase the title because you are the one that actually makes you rich and Network Marketing is the vehicle or the tool that assists you in doing that. And man, what a tool it can be too! When you hear of Network Marketing what comes to mind? Do the letters MLM sound familiar? Most people will tag Network Marketing as MLM. Most don’t realize that Direct Sales is another type of business used in Network Marketing. So which is a fit for you?

Now we have all heard of Amway, Quickstar, and all the fruit and vitamin MLM’s out there. Now, I am not in anyway bagging on these products. I have seen many of these products help people in a serious way. So in most of these MLM business models, the products are great, but will you make any real money in these types of business models? In what I have seen with most MLM companies, if you are not one of the people who joined the business opportunity when it was first formed, then you will never make as much money as those who did. Most of the time you are dealing with small commissions and your income is directly dependent on how your downline is performing.

In Direct Sales, you are responsible for your own income. You are paid first, by commission, and then the wholesale company. Better yet, everyone is on an equal playing field in Direct Sales. The newest person in the business can make just as much money in a few months as the person who has been in the business for over 4 years. That is the beauty of it. Your income is directly dependent on you and your own efforts. I prefer it that way. I enjoy being in control of that aspect of my business. Also, in Direct Sales, commissions are considerably larger. In the business opportunity I am in, our smallest commission is $1,000. It takes a whole lot less to make a lot of money.

It is predicted that within the next few years the Network Marketing and home based business industry is going to explode. More and more people are wanting to work from home and are tired of the day to day grind of working their tails off for very little pay. Back in the 50’s a family could survive off of one income per household. Now both parents are forced to work just to get by. The Network Marketing industry is relieving that stress and creating millioniares in the process.

It’s not enough just to be on the right Track! You must have Personal Development!

September 20th, 2007

You may have heard of the old saying, there is no such thing as standing still, either you are moving forward or you are moving backwards. The fact of the matter is, if you are not moving forward in some way with your life, your business, or your personal growth, others are passing you by. You can’t win a race by just looking good in those new running shoes while standing on the track. Yeah, you’ve made it to the right track but now what? That brings up another good quote by Will Rogers: “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” I like it blunt. You will get smeared all over the train tracks if you are not moving as fast or faster then the train behind you. I Love it!

This is life guys. The same exact thing happens except it is more devastating in our every day lives. The consequences are much greater if we are standing still everyday, or should I say, moving backwards. Yeah, on a railroad track you will just die……..dramatic right? But if you are not progressing in your life, who else is not progressing because of your lack to do so? Your kids? Your income? Your spouse? Think about all of your posterity from now until the end of time, what will they turn out to be like? Your progress in life includes and effects so much more than you can comprehend. It is not enough to just be on the right track. You must be moving in the right direction and with intention. So much is at stake!

Whether you know it or not, but any degree of success you will achieve in your life involves some sort of personal development. It is the key to growth and improvement. It is what gives you the raise, or the increased value in your life. It will make the difference in every situation you are faced with, whether it be trials or good times. Personal Development ranges from loosing weight to obtaining that millionaire mindset. Your bank account grows through personal development and you get into great shape the same way. Improve your mindset and you have taught yourself how to fish instead of expecting a handout for your daily meal. Every successful person will have a library of personal development books and a grateful heart for all they have learned by reading those books.

Personal development is a huge industry. Many a millionaire have been created in this industry. I can show you a business opportunity that is creating millionaires. Visit Create Financial Wealth for more information.

Our Deepest Fear is that we are Powerful!

September 18th, 2007

I just watched the movie ‘Coach Carter’ the other night. Good show! I could pick a ton of things in that movie that deal directly with this business opportunity and success in general. For example, the Principle of Redmond High School didn’t have very high expectations of her kids. The odds of graduation were below 50%. Kids and Adults alike perform to the extent they are expected to. In this home business, if I expected doubt, insecurity, and failure from the individuals I mentor, that is exactly what I would get. I expect power, confidence, leadership, and success from those I mentor and in turn, I get it. You respect those who expect the most out of you!

Very good movie. Watch it when you get the chance. Here is a quote from the movie…enjoy.

Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
or gorgeous
or talented
or fabulous?

Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God.
You playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in every one of us.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear of our own excellence,
our presence automatically liberates others.
And excellence becomes the standard of all our lives.

10 Awesome ways to Fire Your Boss!

September 15th, 2007

There is a point that some people reach in their careers that truly sets them apart from the rest of the herd. This point came for me after I had been an employee for about 10 years. The resounding difference that occurred in me was the fact that I had outgrown my employer. I was done with making someone else rich while I made pennies. I was done being the slave to a job that I despised. I flat out outgrew my employer and everything he had to offer.

So I had a choice! I could either find another job and dedicate the next 10 years to that job, and then do it all over again, or I could become an entrepreneur and live life on my terms. Hmmmmmm…..tough decision right?

The best decision you could make for you and for your future would be to fire your boss and work for yourself. The only difference would be, well, there are a ton of them so I won’t mention them here.

  1. So, number one all time favorite ways of mine to fire your boss is to rip off your shirt, throw it on the ground and say, “I QUIT!” That was the way I did it and I highly recommend it! Very fun. Most effective when you have an undershirt or another shirt to wear.
  2. Walk in to your boss and ask for a raise. You may get into the usual conversation of him asking you why you feel you deserve a raise. Turn the conversation back on him and ask him why he feels he deserves to have you as an employee. Just mess with his head. After his response, which might not be a good one, tell him he is fired and walk out of his office.
  3. Again, go to your boss and ask him for a raise. Again, you may get the usual questions along the lines of why you fell like you deserve to get a raise. He may even ask you how much you think you are worth, or how much he should pay you. Tell him $2,000 a day, and by the way, you now only have a 4 hour work day! In the last 30 days, that is what I have made, except I only work 3 hours a day, Monday – Thursday.
  4. Go up to your boss and tell him that you are going to start working out of your home office and to not plan on seeing you around much anymore. This is more to just see what his reaction will be. Be persistent and serious with him. Then mention that you will be working for yourself and not him.
  5. Come in late one day and say, “Apologize for being late. I had to deposit my $14,000 check at the bank before I came in to quit. PEACE SUCKA!
  6. Just tell your boss that you can really no longer afford to work for him and that he is losing you money. Then give him your business card and walk out.
  7. Tell your boss that your time is too precious to spend away from those you care about. I run a very successful home business. That means I am at home, with my family, working only three hours a day.
  8. Throw yourself a going away party the day you plan on leaving your job. Make sure all your co-workers know about it and let it be a surprise to your boss.
  9. Tell your boss that today is your last day and volunteer to stay the two weeks just to be polite. But then reiterate that today is your last day! He will be a little confused.
  10. Just walk in and say that you have started a successful home business and say, “You’re fired!”

So there you have it. If you have any other sweet ways or ideas of how to fire your boss, post a comment and we will see how many good ones we can come up with. Seriously though, the day I fired my boss was the best day of my working career! Be smart though. Don’t just fire your boss if you aren’t self-employed and part of a business opportunity that is profitable enough to do so. I can definitely help you in that arena! So, fire you boss! Let someone else be the employee.

Self-Generated leads vs. Purchased leads

September 13th, 2007

This business is a direct sales marketing business. The word ‘Marketing’ is the key word. What is a business without marketing? You will not find a business that has been successful but has no marketing plan. If you do, let me know. There are many different ways you can market your business. Marketing costs can range from almost nothing to the thousands depending on the business opportunity. In this business, I have seen folks make six figures in a month with a $1500 marketing budget and also have seen people blow $7000 and make a few thousand. So obviously there are more effective, targeted methods of marketing out there and some that will just flat out exhaust your marketing budget.

Self-Generated leads vs. Purchased leads

Purchased leads are a great way to get started talking with people. You may make a few sales from them, but they are not for long term use. If you are trying to build your business on purchased leads, that is what you will get more of….trying. Purchased leads are so general that you will have to go through quite a bit more of them to get the results you are looking for. Now, some people will tell you that it is not the lead, but the leader that creates results. That is right on the money, if you are talking with a qualified person or lead. The money that you would invest in purchasing 100 leads would be more effective in placing your own ads and only generating 20 leads.

Self-Generated leads are the highest quality lead out there. You will not find a more qualified lead. Self-Generated leads are ones that were generated from an ad you personally placed. Whether it be on the internet or in a newspaper, it doesn’t matter. You will find higher qualified people to spend your time with when you personally attract them to your business opportunity. The ratio of conversions drastically improve.

So, buy leads when you first get started to cut your teeth and to supplement when your lead generation is slow. Generate your own leads. Buying leads is almost like going back to the JOB mentality of having someone run your business for you. Don’t expect lead companies to do your marketing for you. That is the life of your business and if you don’t have highly qualified people to talk to, you will sink aweful fast in the network marketing industry. Take it from someone who has gone through the refiners fire and learn from my mistakes. This business opportunity is set up so that you don’t have to go through the mistakes that I did. Learn from a leader in the industry. Do your own marketing and become passionate about it and you will have the success that you are looking for!
