The Customer

What your customer really wants to hear.

Bill Jayne says it all in this famous quote:

"It doesn't matter what you're selling. Your direct marketing should never 

be about the product. It should always be about the prospect."

How much of your current opportunity presentation is about your company, 

products, and compensation plan?

How much of your current opportunity presentation is about your prospect?

Great recruiters know that their presentation should be about the prospect's 

favorite subject: the prospect.

If your presentation is 100% about your company, products, and 

compensation plan - think about including more questions about 
the customer. 
It works.

Save on YOUR Tax Return
and help others.


If your prospect has a W-2 job, or a small business,
they should know that by starting a home business
with you they can likely save enough on their taxes to
pay for their initial and monthly investment
for a life enhancing product.

Small Business has always been the backbone of our economies,
so, in my opinion, and I assume the bulk of the 100 million plus
Network Marketers who operate Small Home Based Businesses
Understand that the respectable MLM’s companies
will contribute to growth and prosperity.

The more money in circulation and the faster it circulates, the
stronger the economy becomes. Small businesses spend money to make money,
and then they spend more money to make more money.
So, the key to economic recovery is getting lots of businesses started quickly.
That's where we come in.

At the moment it seems like half the world is broke, and the
other half are afraid to spend the money they do have, so how do
we get a bunch of new small businesses going?

Share the benefits


You should always give YOUR PROSPECTIVE RECRUIT the
information about tax refunds that are available to them.
When they agree to start, and to run, a part time home-based business,
to run it with profit intent, and to keep adequate business records
they can find a world of difference in their taxes.

Most Governments world wide say, "If you do that, I'll cut your taxes by a
$ thousands or more every year, starting RIGHT NOW,
and furthermore, I'll let you collect part of your additional Tax Refund
every payday, (pay roll deductions) all year long – that could be
$ thousands per year, for the rest of your "job" working life!)

You must work your business every week, be able to show you're
trying to make a profit, and you must keep adequate business records.

Out of the many tax breaks for home-based businesses, here are some:

1/. Home Office Deduction. $/week
(this may even lets you write-off part of your RENT or mortgage!).

2/. Business-Use of Personal Vehicles (this may be your BIGGEST deduction, particularly if there is more than one person involved in the business)

3/. Hiring your own Children- Now that’s an incentive to make money.

4/. The proportion of your out-of-pocket computer, phone,
internet and stationary expenses that relate to your home business.

5/. Meals and Entertainment (this deduction, with receipts, is totally safe!,
check daily limits)

6/. Combining Business trips with Pleasure trips (vacations can become tax deductions)

7/. Any furniture that you use for your office.

Ask your tax accountant

Exactly what tax breaks are available to home-business owners?

Keep receipts, car log book, record keeping will help bullet-proof your Tax Returns.

Sharing this information with associates will help them see the larger picture
That proactive people see when they begin to develop a business plan.

Sharing information should improve your Recruiting,
Closing and Retention and should help motivated people to
join your business even if they're broke!

Honestly, can you really afford to wait?
The cost of not having a home-based business, and of not
understanding the tax benefits that come with it, is quite large.

P.S.: I use an Accountant, I am not an Accountant. I recommend that
you check this out with your accountant for current deduction and rules.

Let me know some of the benefits I forgot... Appreciate it....

Network Marketing

Work from Home

Over the years in network marketing, I've worked with and
mentored lots of people. I've seen something consistently
through these years, perhaps you have noticed it to.
Let me digress for a moment.
Some years ago some friends of mine bought a restaurant.
They had to do all the paper work to get approvals and spent tens
of thousands to buy the equipment and set it up. Then buy
supplies, and hire employees. They worked long hours to build
their business. They didn’t have a holiday for two years.
Understand they had to pay a lot for rent, then all the other bills,
like electricity, gas, food and wages before they seen a dollar
come back to themselves. The interesting part is that during those
first two years, they never once considered quitting.
Yes they had some very difficult times and headaches with staff
but quitting was not an option.

Okay, now back to what I've noticed consistently among
network marketers – many have the expectation that their business
should be profitable within a few weeks or months and
if it's not they quit and are on to something else.
Here is the lesson I learned many years ago, that made the
difference between being a network marketing failure
and a huge success - once you have found a solid business, don't quit.
Quitting should not be an option. If it takes you a year to become
successful, so what. If it's 2 or 3 or 5, so what? Think about it for a
minute. What else are you going to do over the next 5 years
that has half the potential to give you the financial return and
time freedom for the rest of your life? Quitting should
not be in your vocabulary or your thoughts!

I know that so often network marketing is portrayed
as a get rich quick scheme. It’s not, think about a newly
planted bamboo or a tree, you look at it every day and
nothing much is happening. The bamboo is laying down its
roots first before doing much above ground.

Here's the key and your part in this picture. You've got to
find the first 2 people who are ready, willing, and able to
get out there and find their 2 people. Continue to work with
them until they are confidently building their business
on their own. If they give up, then enroll another person
in that leg and start again with them - helping them find their 2.
Your job is to get the multiplication down 4 levels.
Now, this is going to take some time, so have a long-term mindset.
Robert Kiyosaki (in his insightful new book,
The Business for the 21st Century)
says that we should have at least a 5 year mindset for
our network marketing businesses. Don’t give up your job or
other source of income, so you can continually re-invest the
profits back into your business. This will result in that
slow growth at first, but later the tremendous exponential
growth bamboo has that will result in you living the
life that most people only dream about!

So, never, never, never, never quit!
Keep talking to new people and helping those who join to
multiply and in time you will have bamboo forest.

Back to the restaurant for a minute. Of the staff my friends
spent years training, 3 opened restaurants in competition.
Now that’s tough.
Another mate with a landscaping business
had the same experience with a trainee starting their
own business in competition.
It happens all the time in real estate to.
In networking if you build a solid relationship,
both of you can benefit.



Have a great day!

Positive Signs

Positive Signs for the Year Ahead

In the last week some articles crossed my path, that have the following
positive signs for 2010 for our home based businesses.

1) This past 18 to 24 months of bad economic conditions has
created a positive shift in perception toward MLM /
Network Marketing and more people will want to give it a try in 2010.
Unheard of job losses, pay cuts and benefit cuts have professionals
realising there are no guarantees and better options for security are needed.

2) The internet will see a large increase in usage in 2010. Microsoft
released a study that in 2010 people spending time on the internet will
pass time spent watching T.V.

3) The largest growth of people looking for additional income
streams and spending time on the internet will be the 55 year old + crowd.

As we look to the year ahead we can share these trends and
incorporate them into business growth plans for 2010 and beyond.
Happy New Year &
Let us make this year even better.

Own Your Life


Attaining your Dreams!


"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our
doubts of today." --Franklin Delano Roosevelt

This is the main reason people never realize their dreams.
They are afraid to take action and change their lives.
The reality is approximately 95% reach old age at…or below the
poverty level. That being said, if you don't begin doing what the
5% do, then you will live a very frugal old age.

Let us work on your:-
Belief

Do you believe you and your family deserve to have a comfortable life?
Do you believe you can earn the kind of income that will allow
you to live that lifestyle? Can you step outside your old belief system
that has perhaps prevented you from achieving big goals?
Don’t wait for your friends to lead the way, spending another 5 years
Getting no closer to fulfilling your dreams.
“If it’s going to be it’s up to me”.

Change your pattern

What’s been your plan to date? Is the 40-40-40 plan the best you have got? Working 40 hours a week for 40 years to retire and live on 40% or less than what you couldn’t live on to begin with?
You must determine you are ready to make a change in your life.
You must be committed to achieve what it is you desire. You must
have the desire to do better; then follow a plan to get you there.

Attitude
If you are passive, your best bet is to work for someone else…
or CHANGE! Success is 97% Attitude. Be Fearless!
The only people who don’t make mistakes are those who don’t do anything.
Take responsibility and learn to succeed.

A lot of people tell me they want security…my response to that is simple...
“Only you can create Security”. Gone are the days of jobs for life.

Let’s get started, Own Your Life

Booming Market

Functional foods market worth $27bn +

The US functional foods market will grow by up to 20 percent

or five times that of the food industry as a whole, according

to a new report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers that puts the

market at $27bn in 2007.

Forecasts range from between 8.5 percent and 20 percent,

the finance firm said, compared to one and four percent for

the entire food industry.

Functional foods have grown to the point where they account

for five percent of the food industry, with consumers more

interested than ever in fortified foods – even those whose overall

nutrient profile is variable.

The Pricewaterhouse Coopers report noted consumers were

willing to pay premiums for foods that targeted health problems

or provided an alternative to the likes of soda drinks and

empty calorie snacks. This was so even in hard economic times.

The report comes after research conducted by the International

Food Information Council that found of those Americans trying

to improve their diets, 79 percent are changing the types of

foods they eat, 69 percent are changing the amount of foods

consumed, and 19 percent are changing their use of dietary supplements.

The 2009 Food & Health Survey found that healthfulness,

among other product attributes, is an important factor that

influences consumers’ purchasing decisions. When consumers are

choosing foods for themselves and their children, they are

interested in healthful components.

It's Your Life

There are 3 types of people in business...
  1. Those who make things happen.
  2. Those who hope things happen.
  3. Those who wonder, what happened?


  4. In all aspects of life we can choose our level of participation.

    Ask your self, are you the type of person who looks for people
    to blame or do you take charge and look for solutions?

    Surround your self with positive goal orientated people
    and your ventures will be more enjoyable.

PreLaunch Opportunity

Yoli PreLaunch Opportunity
When searching for the right network marketing company it's
important to evaluate each company by a set of criteria:


Age of Company -
Companies that have been around more than 10 years,
are stable and secure, but you've also missed the
best growth years. If a company is under two years old,
you are taking a big of a risk, but also have the greatest
opportunity to take advantage of the maximum growth
phase. To minimize the risk of a company under 2 years old,
make sure that all the other criteria are met.


Management - It is critical that any company has a
strong management team. They should have a good mix
of successful corporate experience, network marketing
distributor experience, and the ability to successfully
handle money. If the founding managers are self-funding
the company, that is always a good sign, as they are fully
invested and will do whatever it will take to ensure success.


Product/Market - You want to have a product that is unique,
patented, highly consumable, and fits into a major market trend.
If it has a wow factor that's a big bonus.
Companies that are not positioned in front of big market trends,
grow slower. You want to find a company that is in the wellness field
(as it's the hottest market right now, due to the aging of the baby boomers).
If it offers a functional beverage, that's even better as that is
one of the fastest growing segments of both the
beverage and nutritional markets.



Compensation Plan - A plan that takes care of the part-timer, but is also lucrative enough for the big hitter is best. Look for bonuses that pay a person quickly and the bonuses that will help them cover their autoship. A high percentage of network marketers will quit after 90 days if they aren't covering their autoship. Also, you want to have unlimited income potential.





With that criteria in mind, watch the following pre-recorded webinar on a new company called Yoli. ,

Pyramids

Who has been asked "Is this a Pyramid"?

Yes it's a common question in the industry, so
develope some appropriate responses.

It really depends on the situation and who you
are dealing with as to your reply You don't have
to educate the world, some people just aren't ready any way.

It's better to find people who are positive and
self motivated and the question arises less often .
Question "Is this one of those Pyramid things"
Here is one Answer
"Sure, If you mean a fantastic opportunity to take
control of your life, better than getting a
promotion type of thing.
Look I think with your abilities ( specify ) you could
earn (extra, a lot more) in my business other
wise I would not offered.
There is one thing, you know, we really should not
interchange the word networking with pyramids.
Pyramids are illegal and you don't really think I
would be associated with anything shady do you?

Expanding Market

Expanding market of health, beauty
and weight management.

As obesity and health concerns abound, the weight
management market is expected to enjoy double-digit
gains, reaching $726 billion by 2014, predicts a new report.

According to Marketandmarkets.com the medium term
out look for weight loss products, health and beauty
remain the two primary objectives for women –
the primary target segment - when considering weight
management products.

"Health is valued more than beauty as age increases,"
suggests the report, that predicts annual growth of 10.9 per cent
for the global weight loss market between 2009 and 2014.

In 2003, Americans spent $18.8 billion on supplements
and about half (170 million) of Americans take some
kind of dietary supplement.

"Many low calorie food and beverages cannot induce weight loss –
their main aim is only to prevent weight increase,"
comments the report.

As consumers push for solutions to their expanding waistlines a Scientific Breakthrough has arrived.

How to avoid being dead broke or financially crippled!

Learn to Live your Best Life

We have all seen them, with a bored or tired look on
their faces, commuting perhaps an hour or more to and
from a job they don’t enjoy only to be two pay cheques
away from bankruptcy. Yep I’ve been there, living for
the Friday night or for the week end.

They didn’t start out this way. People start out with
great intentions to make a success of their life.
A baby fails on average 10,000 times before successfully
walking without falling. That's how determined we were
when we started life. Imagine if a baby tried to walk,
fell over a few times and thought, "this is too hard. . .
I am just going to take the easy option and
crawl the rest of my life!"

By our teenage years we have been told an average of
100,000 times that we are NOT good at lots of things,
that we won't be successful, that we can't do this
and can't do that. Many people have already built an
identity by their teenage years where they are
full of doubt and fear.

We start our working life with aspirations of success
yet 95% of people retire dead, dead broke, or living
off social security or family. 100% of people intended
to be successful but only 5% actually achieved a life
where money and time do not control their retirement years.

Four out of five people who start up a new business
fail in the first 12 months. 80% of those still in
business after year 1 will fail in the next 4 years
after investing significant amounts of money, time and effort.

The point is 100% of people start out with an
INTENTION to be successful in life, in business
and yet the majority do not achieve the life they desired.
How do you avoid being another statistic? "Look at what
everyone else in doing and head in the opposite direction
as fast as you can" was the advice given to me by one of
my mentors and I believe there is a lot of wisdom in
that statement.

If the majority of people are NOT living the life they
desired WHY would you do what the majority of people
are doing? Why would you listen to their advice?
You need to STEP OUT of your comfort zone, do things
differently and take different actions to everyone else.
However be aware that when you do not follow society
you will also have your critics. People may judge you,
criticise you and not support your decision. Often the
biggest critics will be family, friends and those closest to you.
Remember though, critics will not pay your bills, take
you on holidays, and they will not fund your retirement.
It is the decisions and actions you take NOW that will
decide your future. Your current life situation, good or
bad, is a result of our past decisions and actions. What
are you doing this year to make sure the next 5 years is
NOT a repeat of the past 5 years?

What can you do part time with minimal expense to maximise your life.

Learn from and copy what the 5% do.

Give Your Self A Pay Rise

Who can decide to Give them selves a

Pay Rise this Month?

Yes business owners like your self, can decide to
give them selves a pay rise when ever they like.
In which other system can you earn more than
your supervisor/sponsor. In MLM you can.!


Reading books listening to cd's and attending big
meeting or seminars for your home based business
are great ways to learn the secrets to success.
Some of the best content comes from the people
who are making the most money. There’s nothing
like getting to listen to the top earners in your
business talk for an hour or two about what they
did to get all their success. However, as much great
advice as they can give you there are a few secrets
that most top earners aren’t telling you.

Here are 3 things the MLM pro’s probably
aren’t telling you….

1. They’re working…. HARD!

You don’t get to make 6 figures in MLM unless you’re
willing to put in some serious effort! These guys
aren’t just working 2 - 4 hours a week they’re probably
working more like 8 - 12 every day!
They’re also probably working every single day on their
goals. So if you’re only working 10 hours a week on your
home based business you’re probably not going to get to
the big money as quickly as you’d like. As with any
business you have to put in a lot of man hours in the
beginning. Then after you’ve found your success you can
slack off a little… ok slack off a lot!

2. They’ve thought about giving up

There are many, many rewards to working from home
however there are also a lot of challenges. What the
experienced guys probably aren’t telling you is that
they had the same doubts and fears that you’re having
right now. They probably even wanted to quit at one
point or another. So what separates them from the
people who aren’t making much money? Simple, they
may have thought about quitting but they never did
and they wouldn't have undermined their team with
negative thoughts.!
The good part about MLM is that everyone
has to start at the same place. So for every doubt you’ve
ever had that six figure earner has probably had many
more, they just never gave up!
They focus on their goals and what it takes to
achieve them.

3. They spent money

While there are a ton of free things you can do to build
your business. If you think you’re never going to have
to spend a cent to get rich you’re dreaming. Like any
other business it’s going to require money in order to grow.
You don’t have to spend thousands and be careful not to
waste money but growth requires investing.
Ever heard the phrase it takes money to make money?
It’s true! You don’t have to spend a fortune though.

Decide to get paid what you are worth.
and give your self a pay rise every month.!

Learn from the Best

Thanks for the Leadership


One of my business mentors the late Bob Schmidt created large

organisations with a number of international companies.

He was regarded in what is now a hundred and ten billion dollar

industry,as one of the world’s top networkers, yet he was an

engineer by profession.

He learnt and perfected his networking skills by reading and doing,

on the job.
I can remember him saying if he and his wife walked away for

a year and spent the time travelling and sitting on the beach,

his business would grow in that year.
He was talking about residual income; build it once,

an investment your family can enjoy for life.
Find a professional network marketing company with a product

that can and is changing lives. (The criteria is on a previous blog)
Then commit massive effort early, create momentum to grow your

business and that of you associates. The reward is compound

growth and dreams turn into reality.


I hope you enjoy these short video’s
