There are No Shortcuts on the Road to True Residual Wealth in MLM!

I’m sorry to be the bearer of that news, but sincerely, there are no shortcuts! I am surprised at the number of people who join an opportunity but do nothing at all to become good at the business they started!

Just because your investment to start your network marketing business was relatively small doesn’t mean you do not have a ‘real’ business.

If you want to be successful, you must become an avid student of the trade. First, you must become an effective communicator.

#1 Skill : Effective Communication

If you want to call yourself a successful network marketer, then you absolutely must get over yourself and your phone fear and just get it done, already. You must have effective communication skills in order to succeed here. The last I checked, none of us were born networkers, and we all must start somewhere. Fortunately, the training is in place.

 

You must become an avid student of a master.

 

I love Dani Johnson’s Work at Home Profit Zone because there are literally hundreds of hours of FREE audio training on prospecting, closing and success principles that you can plug into. This is where I go if I have a question! I literally go into her archives and look for an audio training she has done that gives me a solution.

 

The Work at home Profit Zone is the FREE training I plug my team into. If they are truly timid- they start from the very beginning. If someone has no problem inviting, but has no one signing up – I send them to the closing calls. I send them back in, and often – reminding them that you MUST seek consistent improvement. You must be a student, and then apply what you learn on a massive scale.

 

Some people cannot ‘take’ Dani, and that’s ok, I guess… but people, sometimes you have to stop being right in order to become rich!

 

Having said that- some other trainings that I plug into include:

Black-Belt Recruiting with Mark Weiser

Professional Inviter with Tim Sales

Jim Rohn

Jeffrey Combs

Todd Falcone

Doug Firebaugh

Michael Oliver

Tom Challan

Elli Drake

 

…the list goes on. The point is, you should be a student, always learning and applying. In fact, I must give a word of caution- do not get stuck in the training rut. You do not want to be a professional trainer… you want to be a home based business owner, a successful business person. Therefore, you must actually make the calls… connect with the humans to expose your business. Not willing to do that?

 

Quit now.

 

Do not pursue a network marketing business. It is not for you.

Go with an affiliate business model instead. There are plenty of excellent ones out there. There are those that provide solutions to network marketers, like Magnetic Sponsoring and The Renegade System. Then there are many, many more ways that you can work a straight affiliate program, selling others products. I love the Wealthy Affiliate program for straight training on how to get that done.

Seriously, if you aren’t willing to put in the time and effort to get good on the phone, then stop the MLM madness and simply work as an affiliate.

Not everyone is cut out for our kind of work… Not everyone is willing to put in the time for personal development that it takes to network successfully. Networkers are kind of a peculiar bunch!

That ruffle some feathers? I sure hope so! I sincerely hope more of you will invest in yourself and learn the art of Sponsoring.

Seriously, there are no shortcuts. If you want a microwave business – to buy into your MLM and for it to be super easy… Sorry. It doesn’t work that way.

#2 Skill: Marketing

 

You must invest the time to learn how to either call quality leads, or generate your own. Generating your own is time consuming and will require you to develop SKILL to do it! And folks, it takes WORK. This doesn’t come free.

One of the best step by step tutorials I have seen for learning to generate your own quality leads through attraction marketing is Marketing Merge. They have a fully FREE membership that will take you from zero to hero!

 

Of course, my newsletter is chock-full of ways I generate leads. The point is, you need to take all out massive action. You must work to learn this skill set and generate many prospects on a daily basis if you expect to win. A trickle won’t do it- you must STUFF your pipeline. If I don’t have enough self-generated leads coming in, I dial for dollars! I am not one to sit back and work my business in a half hearted manner. I will call quality home business opportunity seeker leads using the Phoneburner system and I’ll invite put 5-10 people into the pipeline in an hour.

It’s called WORK folks. NetWORK marketing. Work done once that pays over and over again and can make you NOW money while you are building RESIDUAL WEALTH.

It may be a product of the websites we use these days that make our businesses appear so darn easy… but I hope I dispelled that notion from those of you who thought you were buying an investment or a lottery ticket. You are in business, act like it and you WILL WIN.

Do yourself a favor- read Secrets of the Millionaire Mind TODAY. Then begin to actually WORK your business tomorrow. Treat this like the opportunity it is- a way to create financial freedom for your family.

Do you SEE it? Can you IMAGINE that scenario? That your home-based business creates enough income that you are financially free. If you can’t imagine it, it cannot manifest. You will not put forth the massive determined action that is necessary to WIN if you cannot see yourself as successful. Fix your money blueprint today – then let the inspired action flow!

Blessings,

Are you using ’sizzle cards’ to promote your business? If not, you should be. It’s a business card that has a short, compelling message on it and leads the person to your capture page and/or a recorded sizzle message. Sizzle cards are used by professional networkers because they are an excellent way to attract people to your opportunity.

I’ve used sizzle cards for the last 7 years and find that as long as you are liberal with them- that is, you make an effort to put out hundreds a month, you can get excellent local prospects and signups into your business. Remember, this is a way to have people find YOU.

The best sizzle card I have found, by far, is one that is made by IamUSA. Its a million dollar bill. You really just need to get a look at these things to know that they are going to get some attention. They will get picked up far more often than anything else you can use. Also, because they are so ‘cool’, they are more likely to be kept for a long period of time. In fact, I ordered mine when I found one in the bottom of a desk drawer. I had picked it up and put it away years before! The point is, I did not throw it out, and neither will your prospects. Its the best sizzle card around, and it’s what I use!

You cannot afford to watch TV. Really, you cannot. Do you have any debt? If so, sitting on your butt in front of the boob tube is not going to get you out of your predicament any faster. You can be certain that you are in fact cheating your family out of thousands of dollars in residual income, and a lifetime of fun and freedom! So what will it be ?… the brain numbing telly… or living up to your full potential?

The sad fact is that for many, it will be the telly. In ‘the Strangest secret”, by Earl Nightingale, it is said that a full 95% of people are content to just get by. Only 5% of us are true entrepreneurs, willing to learn and apply and grow into our full potential. Of the 5% who will become financially independent, only 1% become wildy successful and truly rich.

Where do you see yourself? Do you have a burning desire, huge dreams and an imagination that keeps you awake at night? Or are you sitting on your butt, living vicariously through the characters on the screen. Or worse, letting your beautiful mind be poisoned by the violence and trash that passes for entertainment?

You truly must change your mind before you can change your bank account. One of the most glorious aspects of a network marketing business is that you MUST grow in order to earn. You must change your stinkin thinkin, you must learn to use the master key.

One of my friends says it this way – “you’ve got to stop being right if you want to be rich.”

In other words, it’s time that you listened, learned and applied and simply got down to work.

I know that many of you are out surfing for the ‘magic dust’ that is going to make your business run on total autopilot so that you don’t have to actually work…

Folks, this isn’t like your job where you work as little as possible and will get paid regardless. If you treat your network marketing business the same way you do your job, your dreams will continue to be just that. Dreams, wishes, could have beens.

Your business requires massive exposure. That means that each and every day you must work to put more prospects into your pipeline. I’ll bet that your upline has given you some ways to get that done? If not, have you gone further upline to find the answers you need? Are there people making money in your company? I’ll bet there are, and if you aren’t its not the company or the comp plan or your sponsor’s fault. It’s yours. You need to keep going upline till you find the answers you need. I said the answers you need- not the answers you WANT. The successful people in your upline will tell you what they are doing to succeed. Just DO it. You may have to step out of your comfort zone to begin to make true change in your life. You may need to learn new skills and apply them on a daily basis until you become at least proficient, if not professional.

You didn’t buy a lottery ticket, folks. You bought a business. Just because it was cheap, doesn’t mean you don’t have a million in potential earnings waiting for you.

Get to work. Turn off the tube.

Generate prospects (time)
or

Buy prospects (money)

Connect with them via the phone and use the system your upline has taught you. If the timing isn’t right for them, let the system you have in place follow up and keep them in the loop.

How many people should you expose to your biz on a daily basis?
3-5 a day is part time
10 a day is full time
15+ a day is big time.

Have you made that many connections yet today? No? Turn off the tube.

Consistently fill your pipeline and know that this is not a slot machine or a microwave. Your prospects will join when the timing is right for them. That may not be today – but if you stick with your business long enough, you may find that an extraordinary number of them join you sometime down the road.

So are you ready to make this Labor Day a day of extraordinary change? Just decide, and it is DONE!
I wish you the utmost success!

“Success can be defined as the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” - Earl Nightingale.

If there is one thing that I have learned that has put thousands a week into my pocket - it is to stay laser focused on the desired goal until it is achieved. For me, that means tuning out outside influences that would distract me from my work, or appeal to my emotions and perhaps even make me think that my goal was not worthy!

What do I mean?

Well, if you work online you no doubt have experienced information overload. You get hundreds of spam mail messages per day that you must wade through to find the gold you seek, and if you are researching how to succeed in your business – you can very quickly find yourself on a long winding ride to nowhere.

If you intend to succeed – if you KNOW you will succeed if you could just get down to what works – then please follow these instructions carefully so that you too can put thousands in your pockets!

First and foremost, find one company and stick with it for the long haul. Unless you find yourself in a business that you truly do not like, or if you find that it’s corrupt in some way – or they go and change the comp plan – stick with your company. Do not let anyone or anything tell you that they have the better deal. The grass will always seem greener, the money will always bigger with another company. Now, you are in business for yourself and you are not ‘married’ to a company – but I’m telling you that you will get NOWHERE fast if you are a company jumper, or an mlm junkie. Do your research and find an excellent company (yes, they are out there!), and stick with it until you succeed. You will be far more likely to succeed if you know the company and comp plan inside and out than if you leave it behind assuming it ‘didn’t work’, when in fact, you didn’t work it. Most residual millionaires have built those fortunes by building one business HUGE. They create a story for themselves, build momentum, support a team and ride off into the sunset living their life by design. That is what you want isn’t it? You are ultimately working for freedom – for the residual millions. So stick where you are. If you aren’t happy where you are- then learn more about your company – meet some of your key leaders and see why they are there. You may just find that doing so, really learning your business, is all you need in order to love where you are! You have to see the vision to work it long term. If you really hate your company- find your new home quickly, and then get down to WORK.

Now, put your blinders on. Ignore the mail that wants to tell you about the next big thing- the voicemail blasts that want to sell you the voiceblaster, the people who purchased your name and want to tell you about their deal. Ignore it COMPLETELY. It is of no use to you, it will not make you successful in your business. Do not surf the net looking for the next big thing, the magic traffic system, the worlds best lead source, the automated downline builder… Don’t even go there! The internet is an energy sucker – a vampire sucking away the precious productive hours that you have to build your empire. Just STOP surfing.

Your upline leaders will share with you the tools they use. Do not recreate the wheel. Use the system that is in place to build. If your direct sponsor is not terribly successful, go upline until you find the leader who will help you. A true leader should be able to direct you to the tools to help you to build in whatever way YOU choose. There are many ways to build and you need to find the ways that resonate with you. Whether you want to build online or offline, or both- your upline leader should be able to give you the system that works to put in new reps. Once you are making 30-40K per month, then maybe you can get fancy and try new methods- until then, be teachable and use the system in place!

I know you are still waiting for what will put thousands in your pocket – right? The answer is – WORK. Work your business like mad to build your financial fortress. The speed of your success depends only on your level of belief and your massive action. You need to KNOW that if others are earning the big checks- you can and will as soon as you expect success. Stay laser focused and work the system. Ignore the distractions that you encounter online – don’t join another company – don’t go looking for the magic bullet. Plug into your system and WIN.

Hello Friends!

If we aren’t ‘friends’ yet, then get yourself on over to one of the social networks you’ll find me at, like Direct Matches , and make friends!

I have been using sites like this to connect with like-minded business people online for YEARS. The advantages of thse types of sites are MANY - but by far the most important is that you are connecting with other opportunity buyers. The people at Direct Matches already know the network marketing model and are ready to make life-changing income from home.

I have created a step- by step video tutorial on how to use Direct Matches to generate an endless stream of free leads for your online business. Use the tips I give in this video to connect with excellent people on the “business space” and make a fortune!

I just finished watching a video I wish I had
seen when I got started in business.

It would have saved me a lot of time, money,
blood, sweat and tears

The video is the first in a series just released
by Mike Dillard called “Building On A Budget.”

http://goto.buildingonabudget.com

I’m told in future trainings he’ll be revealing:

- How to drive hoards of traffic to any website
for pennies.

- How you can build any business that you are with
for $500 or less, and in most cases do it for
absolutely nothing.

- Some little known zero cost methods that are more
effective at driving traffic than paid advertising

- And much more

Just hop on over to:

…and take a look for yourself.

You’ll be glad you did.

It’s almost 2008! I can hardly believe it - the year seemed to fly by with so many developments that’s its really hard to fathom.
The net is changing, and those who truly strive for it are moving into the new economy where you don’t have to spend a fortune to get an incredible amount of targeted traffic.

One way that you can optimize your place on the net is to have a website that the search engines love, and that converts your traffic to leads and/or customers once they find you.
This is no small feat, however , and may seem quite the overwhelming task.

Enter SiteBuildIt, the one stop shop for building, optimizing and monetizing your website. Whether you are a network marketer, affiliate marketer, or just dream of taking part in the new economy, SBI can help you.

Now through January 4th they are having a buy 1 get one free special, so if you know of someone else who wants a website just as much as you do…now is the time to act as you can split the cost!

You are in good hands with SBI - exciting times are ahead!

Its December 26th - what are your goals for the next 6 days? Holiday downtime? Or, a chance to take massive action while others are sleeping, or gearing up for next year?

I’ll take the massive action, thank you!

You may believe the myth that not much business takes place over the last couple weeks of the year- but I can tell you that it is just that, a MYTH. I had no less than 5 people join my business in the 7 days leading up to Christmas- and I expect another 5 to join before month’s end. While other networkers are taking holiday ‘downtime’ I’ll be earning a promotion, and some cash to enjoy in January!

Your company may have put off calls for the year, but if you have everything you need in place like a capture page, autoresponder messages, etc- then take advantage of the next few days to take the action that will set the stage for 2008.

What? You are still trying to get over the food hangover from yesterday? At the very least, place some ads, do some forum posting, or spruce up your profile pages on the social networking sites. While you are at it, make a few hundred ‘friends’ on networks over the next few days. You never know, one of them could be your next superstar!

Take massive action over the next few days instead of using this week as an excuse to slack off!

Are you procrastinating? Consider This:

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.”
—Jim Rohn: Author and motivational speaker

 

I am asked all the time if list building sites like Viral Url, List Bandit, and List Joe work, and can answer a resounding YES. I use these services to mail out to 2000 or 3000 of their members every 3 days, and consistently generate quality leads. Its like running solo ads all week long, for one flat price!

I like to use these lists to test out ad copy and headlines. Its a cost -effective way to find out what really pulls, so that when I run paid ads I’m going with the GOLD.

Each of the sites have a free to join option- and the Viral Url site has features that are worth using on its own- for sure- But honestly, the real value is in the upgrade… and I’m not just telling you that for the commission! I generate between 40 and 100 leads using these system mailers each and every week. The trick is to keep on schedule and mail every single time you are able - every 3 days.

Think about it…every 3 days you mail to 3000 active online opportunity buyers. Do you think you could get a few leads from these folks? What if you were offering them someting FREE, like the 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing? Think they’d download it? You should check my stats! My memberships to these sites was paid from mailing out invites for that alone!

The bottom line is, if you are looking for a cost-effective way to generate leads, test out your ad copy, and to build your list- then these list builders absolutely do work.

The screen shot tells it all!

See the video below to watch just how EASY it is to use ViralUrl to generate massive prospects!

If you are currently using these kinds of mailers, please leave your comments, good or bad! And if you know of a hot, new and responsive list- send it along!
