Don't Be Afraid to ASK for Help!

I am going to write from my own experiences today. I have been with MLM companies for many years and have never been compensated like I have with my present business. I have never been with a group of people who support me with encouragement and advice as with my present business. Here is my problem, though, I don't like to ask for help!

I am a mixture of color personalities that doesn't like to 'bother' others and thought they didn't have the time to help me. (I didn't have a lot of self esteem, either.) I have come a long way, but I will always be looking for more improvement, knowledge, and understanding.

I am working on self development. I have been reading books such as The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson, Think & Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, and several others. I am learning a lot about myself that will help me to be a leader and a better friend that you might want to be around. I am not a 'spring chicken' anymore, so these things are important to me and those I love. Napoleon hill says most people come into their best years when they are in their 50's & 60's. I guess there is still hope for most of us!

Network Marketing Success--YOUR distributorship can become BIG BUSINESS

By andrew19781960

Just like in a brick and mortar business, you need a good plan for network marketing success. The failure rate for all types of business is astronomical. It’s certainly no different for a Network Marketing business. Distributorships are very inexpensive, so virtually anyone can start their own business. Because it costs almost nothing to start a Network Marketing business it’s often thought of as “not a real business”. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can be rest assured, Professional Network Marketers know how big the ROI can be. Make no mistake, YOUR distributorship can become BIG BUSINESS.

And yet, so many people these days are spouting the “multiple streams of income” nonsense in MLM. You can look long and hard and still never find anyone who is successful in 2 MLM businesses at the same time. No kidding, it’s tough to find a person who has actually built full-time income in ONE business. So what would make people think they could build FIVE business at a time, as some of them say they do? Without a doubt: they’re full of it.

Some people think that by promoting 5 businesses to you, maybe you’ll get excited by one and join. That doesn’t work for most people and then they are gone. What works is to pick the best company you can find and build that business. Multiple streams of MLM income is BS, don’t let some knucklehead fool you.

To achieve your goals, you’ve got to start with a big network of people who like you and trust you, or you must build that network. It would be a feather in your hat to understand marketing, because you will need to continually build your network.

One reason people choose to build an MLM business - they want to escape from a job working with people they just don’t feel comfortable with. Unfortunately, some people get desperate when they’re building their network marketing group, and they sign up anyone with a plus. Don’t do that. Really, the sign-up bonus just isn’t worth the trouble. One Rule of Thumb when you’re talking to somebody is to ask yourself, “Is this someone I’d want to be on a vacation with?”

This is your business, and you choose the people you will work closely with. Don’t choose someone you just don’t like. Instead, only go with people who you think would be a blast to be around, who share your dreams and goals. It’s very satisfying to find new close friends and then to support them as they go for their lifetime goals. It’s depressing to talk again and again to an unmotivated person and listen to them gripe about the business you love. I call them “The Walking Dead”. You really need to have your standards set high in your mind when you talk to candidates for you business. Hang a sign outside your office…No Zombies Allowed

That major reason for the popularity of network marketing is the idea that when you get a lot of people doing a few simple things, it can be very, very profitable for you. You’ll get insights to this idea and many others in Michael Dlouhy’s classic MLM ebook, “Success in 10 Steps.” It explains why people have been frustrated in MLM and how they turned it around using this book.

You also get a step-by-step long-term relationship-building plan to make you successful in Network Marketing. But even more than that, because the book doesn’t mention any company or product, it is a tool I highly recommend because lots of MLMers now use it to generate their own targeted Network Marketing leads.

A Boy Scout Comes Clean

Article written by Richard Dennis

I spent several years as a Boy Scout … about 50 years ago. Great memories. I loved the camaraderie, and I especially loved the camping trips, hikes, canoeing sunsets, campfires, jamborees … Wow!

At my first jamboree of many dozens of scout troops, my scoutmaster sent me to the other side of the camp to get a sky-hook from a troop over there. Unfortunately, when I got there, that scoutmaster had already lent his sky-hook to a troop way back over near where I’d come from. Oh, well. I got there, but it turned out THAT scoutmaster had also lent out the sky-hook … I think you’re beginning to get the picture.

After a couple hours I returned to camp, apologizing to my scoutmaster because I had no sky-hook. He was very forgiving, however, because they’d gotten along without it. What he really needed at the moment was some black whitewash. He heard that a troop way the heck over there had it, if I would just go get it … so off I went.

Those were definitely the good old days.

Anyway, recalling some of these memories, I looked up one of my all-time favorite written pieces. You’ve probably read it before, but I’ll share it here now, because it’s a good one to bring back into current vision from time to time.

Boy Scout Oath, Law, Motto, and Slogan

Scout Oath (or Promise)

Need Help For Home Business? - Ask Michael Dlouhy!

Article written by amirodonnell1975

Why are there so many frustrated network marketers that fail in this industry while others are making six figures? Help for a home business is what many are looking for these days. The bad news is that there is so much bogus educational information out there - the good news is that there ARE people that have found solutions and have gone from frustrated to exhilarated within months.

Many are struggling to do exactly as their upline or sponsors are telling them to do, doing it faithfully day after day, month after month…. Still without seeing any significant results.

Oh, there may be a sale or two every so often, just enough to keep a little fire lit and for many, just the fact that they have invested thousands of dollars into advertising, etc, keeps them plugging faithfully on as their sponsors encourage them with this ” You are doing the right thing - you just need to do more of it…

Help for your home business is on the way if you are one of these frustrated network marketers.

Michael Dlouhy , a network marketer for the past thirty years found success early on in his network marketing career. However, after awhile he was finding that things had shifted and his team was no longer experiencing the success he had AND he was noticing that the failure rate in network marketing was very high…. Painfully high.

So he set out to see what he could find. After researching hundreds of network marketing companies, studying hundreds of compensation plans and marketing plans - he came to this conclusion.

It was rarely the fault of the people within the system , trying to build their business… in most cases it was either because of a faulty pay plan, lack of training, wrong fit for the person, wrong marketing methods used, outdated marketing methods…etc

Michael knew that it was totally possible for ANYONE to experience outlandish success with network marketing, so he set out to find a way that could benefit people in ANY network marketing opportunity.

He has developed a free mentoring and training course he openly shares and mentors others with and he calls it Success in 10 Steps. It has literally helped thousands of people find their way in this industry. Anyone looking for help for home business now has access to this coaching and mentoring and are creating lifestyles that others only dream of!

Color Your Way to MLM Success

What is the big deal about colors?

article written by Jennifer W.

When I mention colors, I am not talking about auras … I don’t go there. I’m talking about a box of crayons or markers. It’s related to art work, but not on actual canvas. It’s the beauty of people and how they have been created and how you, as network marketer, can best understand yourself and best understand the people you are mentoring in your business.

The colors I am referring to are Blue, Green, Yellow Blue … which personality color are you?

Over the years, I have participated in many a study on personality types, taken many a test to discover my own, and so forth. Some call them Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic. I often felt confused as to what my personality type was because I had a variety of all of the characteristics.

What’s the point of personality types in building an MLM business? It’s a bigger deal than you might think and I hope this post will give you a good and clear insight into why. I will also point out that this ONE THING has made the most dramatic impact on how I help others in their efforts to earn income from home.

My first suggestion is that you let go of how you have learned the personality types in the past, and simplify the process with the facts I am about to share with you. It will simplify your learning curve and give you a slight edge you never dreamed of.

I learned that I had been made this way on purpose, and that I was OK just the way I am.

Everyone has unimaginable strengths as well as obvious weaknesses. I have been frustrated by my weaknesses for years, wondering why one person could do this or that so well … yet it was such a struggle for me. Even with all I knew about self esteem, the lack thereof, and so forth, I had real struggles in building my business the way my upline was asking me to. After the realization of my own color traits, I realized that there would have been no way I could have done it that way … as I am a different color entirely. I was not a closer, did not want to be a closer, yet the people I had worked with previously were very skilled at closing.

Therefore, I learned a truth that has set me free …

My lack of success was not my fault!

I found an amazing mentor through my association with Mentoring for Free, a generic training and lead generation system, who knew all about me and I did not even have to tell her much. She understood me, and she continues to encourage me to work on my strengths, embrace them, and know that there are others within the system who will support and help me with my weaker areas.

Has anyone every told you that? i.e. that your lack of success was not your fault? No, on the contrary, we are told that only 3% of people will ever have success in MLM. That doesn’t seem too fair to me, not when I have just as much intelligence, desire and a BIG WHY to get me there as well. What I did not have, was all the facts as to what most successful people in MLM have …

They understand people and how to develop and maintain supportive relationships with people. I am not referring to your email list here … but actual phone conversations and homework, self development, and mentoring.

So … what is your color?

I must refer you the Success in 10 Steps and the Mentoring for Free system for all the answers, but below is a brief synopsis of what I have learned and put into use in understanding myself as well as others I am privileged to mentor.

GREEN: This is someone who is rather serious by nature, likes facts and information, will not be sold without their homework, and sometimes have been accused of suffering from analysis paralysis. The more information you can give a Green, the more comfortable they will feel in making a decision as to where they want to take their business. They will also give you great information and will likely know many of the answers to your questions, but may think they have to know it all before they can help someone. I also liken them unto a bulldog … in that they absolutely do not quit once their mind is made up. If the big win in MLM is what they are after, they will get there no matter what it takes, i.e. persistent men and women.

Greens make up 35% of the population.

YELLOW: This is someone who generally cares more about the needs of others than themselves … by nature. The rest of us seem to have to work on that. They are a laid back sort many times in the nursing or other related fields. A yellow is a good listener. A Yellow can be overly sensitive and may not tell you what they think in order keep from hurting your feelings. In MLM, a Yellow is most concerned about their team and it’s success.

Yellows make up 35% of the population.

BLUE: This is someone whose mind is usually going 90 miles an hour, a very personalbe sort who loves being anywhere there is action. Many successful sales people are Blues because of their love of people. They are also the creative sort, the artists, the actors, the public speakers and politicians. Their struggle seems to be staying focused on any one task. A Blue will have bought every book available on a desired topic, but likely not finished one of them. Easily distracted, but high energy and when in a creative mood, nothing can stop them. A Blue has many an inspiration idea of great brilliance, but it is the Greens that help them put it into motion. When it is not fun any longer, the Blue is tempted to move on to something else.

Blues make up 15% of the population.

RED: This is someone who is passionate about success, goal-oriented, and determined to go where they want to be. Money is important, in fact it can be all about the money. These are the CEO’s of large corporations. Decisive, direct. A Red can build big in MLM, but the relationship may be a struggle. You may have to pick up the pieces.

Reds make up 15% of the population.

YOUR MLM PROSPECT HAS AN EMPLOYEE MINDSET

I saw a comment from a successful internet marketer this week that I think is very important to consistently remind yourself of.

Almost everybody we talk to about network marketing is an employee. They come from an employee mindset. Very few are actually business owners.

The employee mindset is: “OK. I really want to be successful on my own. I don’t want to have a boss. I want to make more money. What do I do?”

The employee mindset is NOT: “OK. I’m going to work this out for myself and come up with my own business plan.”

And the point this guy was making is, the most important word when you are talking to a prospect is “system.”

Let me repeat that. Heck, let me SCREAM that.

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD WHEN YOU ARE TALKING TO A PROSPECT IS:

SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM!

You’ve got to give them a step-by-step system. They have to see a system that can work for them. You have to show them how it has worked for others, and you have to show them, step-by-step, exactly what they will do with it.

But it’s more than just that. Your prospect not only has the opportunity to use a system that is tested and proven to work, but they also have the opportunity to talk to their prospects about that tested, proven system … which every prospect needs and wants. It’s really important. That is exactly what this guy is talking about.

You need to hammer prospects about the system. I mean, REALLY hammer them on this. Most prospects think, “Oh, this company has a great product. That’s what I need.” Or, “Oh, I’m personally sponsored by the heavy hitter. That’s what I need.” Or, “It’s been proven that this compensation plan pays out 80%, and over 90% of the people who use it are successful.”

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Most prospects need to use the Success In 10 Steps ebook by Michael Dlouhy to have success, but some won’t. Everybody knows that a new person needs a tested, proven system to start with. If you can find a better, tested proven system, fine. We’ve used this one for 4 years, and it constantly produces the targeted leads we want.

That’s what those with the “employee mindset” need more than anything … good prospects to talk to. Just getting a few really targeted prospects a week can change their lives.

System? Yes. Use it. And talk to your prospects about it. Believe me, they know they need it.

Is This The Right Opportunity For Me?

I remember when I joined my first MLM. It was in the early year of 2006. I was looking for a new source of income for my wife and our new baby boy. I desperately needed the money and I had very little time to work another job. You see I was in the active duty Air Force for six years making very little money. With a new child and a stay at home wife I was hurting for some extra cash. Depression was kicking my butt.I went from doing surveys online, to eBay (where I was scammed out of $1200) and pretty much anything else I could get my hands on (not drugs). I even submitted an invention of mine that I came up with over the years which still ended up costing me more money. That's still in the works.

As I was doing surveys I noticed an ad on one of the survey websites telling me that I could make a lot of money while putting in very little effort. Well needless to say this was right up my alley. Without hesitation I got the money together buy pawning some unused things of mine and scrounging for whatever change that I could find. I contacted the person on the ad and told them that I have the money and I am ready to join. Was I? I was so excited about making easy money that I jumped right into a company that I had no idea about and had not done any research on. I thought that I was going to be rich! Little did I know right?

When I started talking to my sponsor about the company and making money I was constantly being told to buy the products and watch the training videos, buy the products and watch the training videos. Any of this sounds familiar? So I buy the products and I watch the videos and I buy the products... You get the point. Anyway, after doing this for about a month I started to receive something that I did not expect to receive in the beginning; a BIG FAT HEADACHE! I did not make a dime off of this company. There was no duplicatable method to be used, there was no real communication between my sponsor and I, and most importantly of all there was no MONEY! I wanted to scream, there I was trying to do something honest for me and my family and not a dime. All I had was some nasty powder, some beans, lotions and crap and a big empty account. It was the worst feeling that I had ever had. I thought to myself "YOU IDIOT", you just spent all of your money on a company that does not even show you a proper way of selling your product and now you have to go tell your loving wife that this selling thing is not working. I thank God to this day that she did not leave me. Needless to say after my year end subscription I did not even think about renewing my account.

I did not try another MLM for about 2 1/2 years later. Now I am back in the MLM business getting customers and I have not even been in the company for a month. How does this happen? I did my research on the company first of all. I analyzed everything, from the comp plan, to who founded the company and who endorses it. Most importantly of all, I found a mentor. If you do not find a mentor then you can forget it. Just go give your money to the homeless or something; at least they can use it more than some of these "opportunity" companies. Also do your research. Don't do what I did years back and dive right in head first. I guarantee that you will get frustrated in your first few months if not the first and that you will, WILL go broke.

When I use to do carpentry work with my dad he would always tell me "measure twice and cut once". This saying easily applies to joining an MLM or any company. Research as much as you can on the company and be sure that the company is a good one then join. Many of these companies are set up to give us false hope and nothing more while there are legit companies out there that actually do what they say they will do. This is why researching the company before you join is so important. Here is some advice, be weary of companies that promote "make hundreds of thousands in one month" or "get 50,000 prospects in one month". If they say anything like this then ask that person to prove it. If they cannot then there you go. Other than that I have nothing more to say. I hope this little story and bit of information helps you in your next or current venture. I wish you the best of luck.

Your friend,
Alfonzo Gasaway II
