Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters.

On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn’t result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

The biggest challenge most people encounter when they become self-employed and start their MLM Business is driving themselves to do what it takes to become successful.  When there is no one looking over your shoulder, it’s easy to let things slide.  The problem is that it doesn’t “seem” to matter when no one knows, except YOU!

To be successful, and to develop the necessary habits and disciplines for a lifetime of wealth and happiness,  with a real MLM fortune, YOU have to become both your employer and employee!  YOU have to be the one to establish the job requirements AND the person who performs those requirements.  YOU have to be the one who checks to see that the job is being done right and the one to answer for when it is not.

Employing yourself means accepting Full Responsibility – responsibility for doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how it needs to be done…to the Best of your Ability.

Remember, you can lie to other people if you want to, but you cannot Afford to Lie to Yourself!  The only way to develop the habits that success requires is to “demand” and “expect” nothing less than your Personal best.

We don’t expect you to know the skills, but as the CEO of your MLM Business, it is your responsibility to learn the skills.  You, hopefully, have joined an MLM Team that is committed to your growth, so failure to ask falls on you.

If you were going to “pay” someone else to build this for you, would you let them show up late or not stick to the Internet hours they set the first week?  Would you let them get by talking to 1 person a week?  Would you accept feeble attempts to explain why they didn’t do what they promised you when you hired them?  Of course not!  AND you must not accept that level of performance from yourself either!  Not if you are deadly serious about going to the Top with your MLM Company.  You are the only one who can make yourself do what it takes to be a success in your chosen venture and in the business of life.  So take your responsibility – as an employee and as an employer – Seriously!

One of the most important lessons for any human being to learn is how to make yourself responsible TO yourself and FOR yourself.  Master that skill and you will be well on your way to a lifetime of untold wealth and happiness and an Incredible Residual income.

Think about it: If you knew why people say “yes,” don’t you think you could sponsor more people? What is the common denominator among the people who sign up and those who don’t?

The answer? It is their belief. If they believe it, that they will make money in your business, they will sign up. The opposite is also true: if they do not believe they will make money in your business, they won’t sign up!

Think about all the people you have met with who, for one reason or another, did not sign up. Ask yourself one question: Did they believe they would make money with your MLM business? Did they truly believe that within a short time they could be earning $3,000 or $5,000 a month?

No. If they had believed, they would have signed up, wouldn’t they? Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever been certain an MLM lead was going to join your group, only to have him turn you down? Do you struggle to bring people into the business, while others in your company have much higher success rates? Have you ever wondered why some people, who are obviously “perfect” for the business, never even seriously consider it?

The answer to all these scenarios may be one or more of the 11 little-known but critical factors in play throughout your recruiting process. Each of these 11 factors has a serious effect on the ways prospects view both you and your MLM opportunity.  In fact, if you didn’t cover these with your current Reps, you will see they come in play there, too!

Some of them may be addressed by your website or personal meeting, others during a telephone call (with or without your sponsor); still others may be handled in the follow-up emails they receive; but they all must be addressed someplace, or your results will suffer.

For each of these factors that you don’t deal with correctly, you will meet with a corresponding decrease in the number of qualified people you sign up. By this, I mean that you will miss signing up good people, who would do well in an MLM business if they did join. The more of the 11 factors not addressed in your system, the more good people you’re missing. Read the rest of this entry »

Over this 3 day holiday, I got together with some of my MLM leaders and we discussed what makes one person oustanding in the business, while another might flounder.  It got down to a discussion of habits.

To be a success in your MLM business; it is essential to take a closer look at your habits.  Some people will enroll and they have habits that are conducive to getting them off to a quick start and keeping themselves on the right track.  Others come laden with habits that are detrimental to establishing or sustaining any serious momentum.

Question:   What do you and every one of the greatest Networkers in our MLM industry have in common?

Answer.   A 24-hour day!

Yes, the 24-hour day is a great common denominator. All of us who desire success in Network Marketing are using 24 hours of our day already. We may say to ourselves, “As soon as things slow down a bit, I’ll be able to work my Networking business.” The problem is things never slow down!

Many of us act as if our activities will somehow make room for us to work our business. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen like that.  You have to make it happen. To get something different, you need to do something different. Read the rest of this entry »
