“How can I get a hold on my marketing efforts so I can increase my client base?”  This is the question I got from one of my distributors recently.  As we talked a little more about the issues he was facing, marketing wasn’t where he needed help initially.  He needed help with being clear about what business he is in and who would pay for the MLM products he offered.  We also found that his Business Foundation wasn’t solid enough to support the goals of his business; therefore his marketing efforts were not efficient.

After working with him to build a solid foundation, he was able to create a solid marketing plan and increased his MLM prospect base immediately. 

I’m sharing this story with you because 80% of business is marketing.  If you think about it, most activites that we do in our MLM business are focused on getting new business in one form or another–your target market is the CORE of marketing.  If you don’t have customers you don’t have a business.  Since marketing is such a critical ingredient for business, one must understand business to understand marketing.

When you understand business your marketing efforts will be effortless.  To understand business I’ve listed the 10 Basic MLM Business Principles that a small business owner should know and understand.  It will help give you clarity in your business so that you will have clarity in your marketing.

If there was a way that you could guarantee to explode your MLM Success, and touch people in such a way that most would follow you to the moon if you went… Would that be of interest?

Whether you are online, or offline…. this will help give you an idea that literally exploded my MLM business once I learned it… and I was blessed with a high recruiting ratio for years and years…

What is “Recruiting Beyond the Business?” Before we get to that, let’s go over what is missing in most folk’s lives…..

What is that?

Learn this …and change your own life as well as others…..

Most people…go their whole life without once ever being told they could truly succeed, that they had it in them to do great things, and worse, no one has ever taken the time to show them they care enough to help or show them how…..And most people today are Starving for someone to help them get beyond where they are in life…in debt up to their eyeballs, and going on a treadmill of repeated mistakes that they just cannot seem to break…. They are looking beyond where they are now to try to do something with their life….

That’s where you come in….. We teach that you must in sponsoring touch a person’s heart before they will touch your MLM business….people want to feel good about their life, future, and working with you… That is why you must “Recruit Beyond the Business”… That’s where their true interest lies….not working with you, as much as you working with them to help them get out of the rat race….

When you change your mind about something, you change your experience of it. If there is any room for growth in your finances right now or you have a desire to grow your MLM business, then it is time to “grow your mind” by expanding your thinking and expect to win. By creating a mindset for wealth, you begin a revolution in your experience of life.

Here are seven tips for taking charge of your financial destiny:

1) Take responsibility for your current situation.
Realize that you are where you are due to the sum total of your actions, as well as your non-actions. To the extent that you blame your financial situation on the economy or any other external circumstances, you give up your own power to shape things exactly the way you want. Let go of any reasons or excuses, and instead focus on the results you are committed to producing now.

2) Realize that it’s all you!
Regardless of the state of the economy there are always people who do well financially. So what separates the people who do well in any circumstances from those who do not?  Their thinking. Your financial circumstances are a reflection of your internal thought patterns, perceptions and beliefs. Some people complain that “it takes money to make money. I don’t, have any so I never will.” But successful entrepreneurs realize that money is created by good ideas.  One great idea can practically become your license to print money.

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world; it corresponds with your dominant patterns of thinking.

This is an extraordinary principle. It explains most happiness and unhappiness, most success and failure, most greatness and meaninglessness in life. After years of study in this area, I still stand in awe before this powerful law, like standing and looking out over the vastness of the Grand Canyon.

Just think! Your outer world reflects your inner world in every way. Nothing can happen to or for you in the long term until and unless it corresponds to something inside of you.  If you want to change or improve anything in your life, you must begin by changing the inner aspects of your mind.

Sometimes this is called the “mental equivalent.” Your greatest responsibility in life is to create within yourself the mental equivalent of what you want to experience on the outside. The fact is that you cannot achieve it on the outside until you have first created it on the inside.

It is as though your life is a 360-degree mirror. Wherever you look, there you are. Your relationships for example, always reflect back to you the kind of person you are on the inside. Your attitude, your health and your material conditions are a reflection of the way you think most of the time.

This is hard for most people to accept. Most people think that the problems in their lives are caused by other people and circumstances. They are shocked and angered to be told that they are the primary architects of everything that happens to them. They want others to change. They want the world to change. But they do not want to change themselves.

The Law of Correspondence is a foundational principle of virtually all religions and schools of thought. It is really great news. It is the key to personal freedom and happiness.  It is the high road to great success and fulfillment.

There is only one thing in the world that you can control, and that is the way YOU think. However, when you take complete control over your thinking, you take control over all the other aspects of your life. By thinking and talking only about what you want, and by refusing to think or talk about what you don’t want, you become the architect of your own destiny.

So do you know what you Really, Really, Really Want? Maybe you should re-visit that.

Your MLM business is where it is because of your thinking and not anything happening around you.  The bigger the Why in You, the Bigger the Check.

When I was 21 years old, my mentor asked me what I thought the value of an hour was. I honestly did not know how to answer the question. He went on to teach me one of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned.

He suggested that the value of an hour was priceless. This confused me some, so this is what he said to me.

If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself and your environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeks over the course of a year!

Yikes!

As you can imagine I was blown away when he put it to me that way.

Nine 40- hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did the math. Read the rest of this entry »

“Before enlightenment chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment chop wood and carry water.” - Ancient Chinese Proverb

A typical conversation I have with individuals (almost weekly) is something to the effect of: “When I get to this point in my business/career, I will…. or when I get to this income level, I will… or when I achieve this reward, then I will… These statements are always followed by some action or behavior that they are going to put into practice AFTER they achieve or acquire their “magic bullet.”

Examples:

- When I get this next level in my MLM business, then I will spend more time with my family. - When I make $$$ then I will donate a portion of my income to a worthy cause.

We could come up with numerous examples but I think you get the gist. When I hear this comment, regardless of the context or the promise, my answer is typically, “No you probably won’t.” Why? Because if the habit has not been developed it will not be acted upon. Life does not miraculously change until YOU change. Read the rest of this entry »

I ran across an interesting little distinction that, when fully understood and properly applied, will forever change the way you think, act, and teach the art of building your MLM business.

Interested? Thought you might be…

“To develop your potential for effective leadership, begin with the strengths and abilities you already possess. [Because] You are always stronger when you keep your successes and strengths in mind.”

Vince Lombardi, who coached two teams to World Championships, observed that when football games were over, it always seemed that errors got more attention than successes. The newspaper and television media would highlight, analyze, and discuss the mistakes. One day, Lombardi decided, ‘From now on, we are only going to replay our winning plays.’ And look what happened to him and his team—his theory worked!

Only replay our winning plays… Interesting concept.

How about you? What plays are you running over, and over, and still over again on that all too familiar screen inside your head? Read the rest of this entry »
