Network Marketing Starting


   Some new network marketers who feel they have to 
  know everything,

before they can start building a business. 
There is an old saying that if you wait for all the lights to turn green before you leave the house, you'll never get out of the driveway. It's okay not to know everything. When someone asks you a question and you don't know the answer, say: "That's a good question and I don't know the answer, but I'll sure get it for you." Then you can set up a time to get back to them with the answer. Even after my second decades in network marketing, I don't know everything, nor would I want to come off as someone who does. Sometimes when I do know the answer, I'll tell them that it's a good question and I'll get the answer. This shows them that they don't have to know everything and that there are ways to easily get the answers. That's the best impression you want to leave with your prospects.

Network Marketing

According to  industry leaders and trainers,
selecting the right company is one of the first steps to

success in starting a Network Marketing home business business.
Here’s what we recommend -
The first key is to pick the best network marketing company; one
that can be proudly represented. History proves that there are five
pillars to a successful network marketing company:

1. Management – the management team must include people who have
experience building large, successful traditional businesses and
also successful network marketing representativeships. This is the
best of both worlds – they know how to build a big business and
they think like representatives. Also, look for a visionary leader
heading up the company, a behind the scenes operations person, a
marketing genius, and a trainer/teacher. This overall combination
will produce a winner in the management pillar.


2. Product/Service - historically products out-perform services,
but there are a few top network marketing companies that offer
services, so don’t completely discount them. The keys here are that
the product or service is something people would use and become
passionate about, even if they aren’t involved in the business. The
product or service should be such that customers and
representatives need to buy it at least monthly via an automatic
purchase program. The product/service should have both present and
future demand and appeal to the masses (all ages, genders, ethnic
groups, etc). It’s a huge plus if the product or service is unique
(patented or exclusive).

3. Trends – look for powerful market trends that will drive the
company through massive exponential growth and you’ve got a real
winner. Anything the Baby Boomers (those people born between 1946
and 1964) want will be a big hit. Anything the media is talking
about (that also has future demand) is probably going to be big.
Look around you. Read books and articles that are talking about
trends and then find a network marketing company with
products/services that fit those trends. For example, a huge
present and future trend is health and wellness, so those companies
that are marketing health and wellness products are going to enjoy
growth due to this powerful trend.
4. Compensation – every network marketing company offers a
compensation plan, which is how representatives are paid. A good
plan will enable the average person, who will historically only
sponsor 2-4 people, to make enough money to cover their monthly
product purchase within their first 90 days. The plan will also
have solid middle money for those who want to replace their job
income and great back end money, providing the potential for high
six and seven figure incomes. The compensation plan should also be
easy to understand and explain.
5. Training and Support – a primary reason people fail is that they
aren’t trained and supported properly. The company should provide
training on the products/services, compensation plan, back office
system, and business building. A legitimate company offer
replicable representative web sites, weekly webinars/
teleconferences, and live meetings. A good upline team will provide
deeper training and support  (three-way calls, prospect meetings,
conference calls).

Google Maps

“How To Make Money From Google Maps”

by Peter Kroesche
Statistically speaking about Google and local search;
  • Over 2 BILLION local searches are performed online monthly!
  • Google gets 72% of all online search traffic.
  • 73% of all online activity is related to local content. (Google)
  • 1/3 of mobile search is locally based. (Google)
As you can see this is too good to miss. Either list your business in
Google Maps to generate traffic, get leads and make new sales.
or
You can charge local companies to get them listed in
Google Maps using the instructions below.
Getting listed on Google Maps is quick and easy.

First: Visit the Google maps local listing link - www.google.com/local/add.
If you don’t have a Google Account, it’s free to sign up for one.
Second: Fill in the form. Google will actually help to create a listing.
For example, it’ll ask you for your country and phone number.
Using this information, Google will quickly search to make sure
you’re not already listed. If not, it will then ask for more information
like website and address.
Third:  Add photos and video. You can upload up to five videos
about your self and your business.
Later you can upgrade your listing. There are actually several
things you can do, for free, that help generate interest
in your listing. The first two we’ve already mentioned:
photos and video. Reviews are also extremely valuable.
According to Google, reviews come from three sources,
“reviews written by Google Maps users, reviews sent to us
by third party providers and reviews collected from the web.”

Upgrading your listing is something you can do over time.
Add reviews. Add new videos and alternate promotions.
Google Maps is free and it may
turn out to be a very valuable profit generator.
Also you can learn what attracts people to your business,
 Google offers an abundance of information including the
keywords people use to find your business.

Don't be tempted to pay their way.


How real people become rich.

It happens a lot. People say

"I'm broke. I’m really keen to get started.
I want to be rich.
I can't afford a distributor kit. I can't afford your opportunity.
So how do I get started?"

The answer is simple:

First, learn to become a "hundred-aire."

Second, learn to become a "thousand-aire."

and then become a "million-aire."

You see, if they can't learn how to accumulate $100
after years of working, how will they ever have the
discipline to accumulate even one thousand dollars?

It's easier for most people to eat out at restaurants,
play video games, smoke cigarettes, drink beer,
buy non-necessities that are on sale, buy a new car or flat screen on credit,
than it is to save $100.

Until that pattern is broken, even the best
network marketing opportunity won't solve their problems.

So don't be tempted to pay their way.

Help Prospects make decisions.


Innocent questions that prompt prospects to make decisions – now!

You have had coffee with a prospects.
They have heard the presentation (network marketing, mlm, affiliate marketing)
and now they are afraid to make a decision. They’re thinking:

“What if we fail?”
“We don’t want to make a mistake.”
“What if we make the wrong decision?”
“Let’s think it over and delay any decision until we have to.”
 “Maybe we should just take our time thinking about this.”
And they’re thinking . . . and thinking . . . and thinking.

An we are thinking, if they would only make a decision,
any decision, it would be wonderful.
I could go home. They could get on with their lives.
But no. That would be too easy. The prospects insist on torturing
themselves with indecision. They don’t realize that “not making a decision”
is really making a decision to keep things just as they are.

Keeping their lives the same is okay. It’s just that they should be
consciously making that decision.
Here are a few questions that you can ask your prospects.
They’re innocent, non-aggressive questions. These questions will
help your prospects make a conscious decision on what is best for their lives.

1. What will happen if you don’t join our business?
Of course the answer is:
“Nothing.”
But you don’t answer that question. Let the prospects mentally
answer that question for themselves. They’ll probably be thinking this:
“Life will be the same. Tomorrow will look just like today.
We’re going to wake up early, commute to work, come back late,
grab a quick meal, watch a few minutes of television and go to sleep.
Yep, we’re going to get this routine over and over again –
until we’re too old to work.”
Not a very pretty picture, is it? Now if the prospects
choose to leave everything the same, if they
choose to avoid your opportunity . . . that’s okay.
They are making a decision. And that’s all we ask.

Try some of these to see if one fits your style.
2. If you don’t start your own business now, do you see
yourself always working for someone else?
3. What do you think will happen next year if you decide not to
make any changes this year?
4. Do you think your job routine (five days a week,
two weeks of vacation every year) will ever change?
5. I see that you’re kind of stressing out about risking a
change in your daily life. Why not just relax and enjoy your life as it is?
6. You don’t have to make a decision to start your own business tonight.
Instead, you could simply make a decision to not start your own
business and keep your present job routines.
7. You know, you might be thinking, “My daily routine isn’t so bad.
Maybe I’ll keep living this way.” And that’s also a good decision.
Do you think that might be best for you?
All of these questions remind our prospects that the pain of their
problems won’t go away by postponing a decision.
So make it easy for your prospects.
Remind them to make a conscious decision about their futures.
And remember, this technique is rejection-free.
We’re not attached to the outcome.
We’re not responsible for the decisions they make in their lives.
We’re only obligated to give our prospects the choices.
The rest is up to them.

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.

Live your Best Life


My friends,
If you value life, then do not squander time.
For that is what life is made of - Benjamin Franklin

As we enter a new Decade, I just wanted to share some 
of the principalsI gathered through the years as a scholar of life.
Just promise me this, after you’ve read this email, 
take your self seriouslyand just go out there and take action, 
follow through with your words andyou’ll see the universe 
unfolding your dreams before your eyes.
This leads me to the first principle I wish to share with you,
this is the crucial check point in your path.

You must know what it is that you truly want
We all think that we know what we want, but think about it.
We aren’t talking about that car or those pair of shoes that temporally
becomes the object of your desires and after the initial “honeymoon”
period has worn off turn into a mode of transport and those shoes
 become dust collectors? The moment is fleeting.
Make sure you know what you really want and just to be sure,
ask yourself why you want it and how your life would improve.
    
You must believe that you deserve it.
You are the only person in this whole world that is responsible for
you reach your full potential and achieve the things you want in life.
You must deem yourself worthy, otherwise you’re going nowhere.
You know you are capable of more than sitting in front of the hypnotic box.

As Napoleon Hill once said:
“There is a sure way to avoid criticism—be nothing and do
nothing. Get a job as a street sweeper and kill out ambition. The
remedy never fails.”

Take Action
Without this principle, 100% of all successful people would have failed.
The universe revolves around a single physical principle that is called
entropy, i.e. energy needs to be added to turn chaos into order.
It sounds deep, but all that it means is that you need to take action,
give your energy in order to bring about the things you want in your life.
The tried and true way to achieving or becoming anything you want
is taking action. If you can figure out a concrete goal to achieve,
consistently take the necessary steps towards that goal and
modify your approach every time you get a setback,
you will be the success that you read about.
This is the formula.
The only thing that differentiates those who succeed and those who
fail is how long you carry on trying.

Go on, go out and achieve, make 2011 the beginning of your
best decade!

Confused mind

The confused mind always says, "No."

Make your presentation simple. If your presentation is long and complicated,
most people will say "No" because they are afraid of what they don't understand.

I have see this happen and been guilty of this myself.
A sign to look for is when their eyes glass over.
Then you know you have been talking too much
instead of asking them what are their needs and wants.

If your presentation is too simple, your interested prospect will then
eagerly ask you for more information.

The simplest of course is to invite them to watch a DVD, read a brochure
or visit a web site.

Don't forget to follow up. Ask what liked about the information package.

Enjoy the Journey

The story is told of a Navy commander who sailed his ship
out into the harbour one foggy morning. As they were
heading out to sea, his signalman came and said,
“We’re on collision course with a light.”

The commander then directed the signalman to send
the following message, “On collision course.
Move 10 degrees right.”

The signal came back, “Confirmed. We are on collision course.
You move 10 degrees right.”

The Navy commander with his rank was a little incensed.
He sent back this message, “I am a full Navy commander.
You move 10 degrees right.”

The message came back, “I am a signalman second class.
You move 10 degrees right.”

Finally the commander sent this message,
“I am in a battleship. You move 10 degrees right.”

The signal came back that said,
“ I am in a lighthouse. You move 10 degrees right.”

How many times do we allow our pride to prevent us
from seeing the big picture? How many people stubbornly
refuse to see the writing on the wall of economic shifts and implement a Plan B?

Don’t make that mistake. Keep your eyes open and your
heart humble to safely navigate through life.

Enjoy the Journey. :)

Networking recommended

Authors like Robert Kiyosaki, Brian Tracy, Donald Trump,
Infomercial giants Bill Guthy, Greg Renker, Steven K Scott,
Economist Paul Zane Plizer are a just a few of the accomplished
mega successful entrepreneurs, that publicly support being involved
with a Network Marketing opportunity.

According to the US Social Security Administration if you
followed any group of 100 people from the beginning of their
working careers over the next 4 decades
(till approximately their retirement age), here is where most will end up:
36 will be dead and 54 will be dead broke.
We’ve just covered 90% in this first stat!
5 will continue working beyond retirement age
because they need to in order to survive.
4 will be financially secure. Phew!
Only 1 out of the 100 will be wealthy. Not good!!

A Network Marketing Opportunity not only ‘levels’ the
playing field in terms of earning capacity, it allows your
unique talents to shine through and be rewarded.

Being involved with a Network Marketing opportunity
offers you the ability to be truly rewarded for your skills,
talents, leadership, drive and passion. Best of all, unlike the
traditional corporate world, you have a
team of people cheering for your success!

Friendly Marketing

I came across a story by Dr Adrian Wong.

Here is his story called Red Marbles:

I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes.

I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily appraising a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.

"Hello Barry, how are you today?"

"H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good."

"They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?"

"Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time."

"Good.

Anything I can help you with?"

"No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas."

"Would you like to take some home?" asked Mr. Miller.

"No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with."

"Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?"

"All I got's my prize marble here."

"Is that right?

Let me see it" said Miller.

"Here 'tis. She's a dandy."

"I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?" the store owner asked.

"Not zackley but almost."

"Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble" . Mr. Miller told the boy.

"Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller."

Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me.

With a smile she said, "There are two other boys like him in our community, all three are in very poor circumstances
Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store."

I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man.

A short time later I moved to Colorado, but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.

Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could

Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket. Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket.

Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one, each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes.


Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.

"Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim "traded" them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about colour or size....they came to pay their debt."

"We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world," she confided, "but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho ."

With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.

The Moral:

We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.

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!

Success Is Easy

Success Is Easy, But So Is Neglect by Jim Rohn

People often ask me how I became successful in a six-year period
of time while many of the people I knew did not.
The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do,
they found to be easy not to do.

I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life.
They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books
that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that
easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars,
and to be around other successful people. They said it probably
really wouldn't matter. If I had to sum it up, I would say
what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.
Six years later, I was a millionaire and they were all still
blaming the economy, the government, and company policies,
yet they neglected to do the basic, easy things.

In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well
as they could and should, can be summed up in a
single word: neglect.
It is not the lack of money—banks are full of money. It is not the
lack of opportunity—America, and much of the Free World,
continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities
in the last six thousand years of recorded history. It is not the lack of books—
libraries are full of books—and they are free! It is not the schools—
the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers,
leaders, counselors and advisors.

Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful
and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so
few take advantage of all that we have is simply neglect.
Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread
throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually
lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and
prosperous human life.

Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel
guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence.
As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity.
And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline.
And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken.
And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative,
our self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.

So my suggestion is that when given the choice of "easy to" and
"easy not to" that you do not neglect to do the simple, basic,
"easy" but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.

Quotes and Sayings

Quotes and sayings often grab our attention just for a moment,
sometimes they brighten our day and sometimes inspire us.

Tell us your favourite quotes, sayings or even poetry:-

Ben Franklin said, “Most men die at age 25, but aren’t
buried until age 65!” What he was saying is that we quit
dreaming. Sadly most people die “with their music still in them.”
I have heard it said that “Hell starts when the person you are
meets the person you could have become.” Now that is a scary thought!


Never give up never surrender.
Gimly said it best in Lord of the Rings
"Certainty of death, small chance of success.
What are we waiting for"

I’ve just found I have not failed, I've found 10,000 ways
that don’t work :- Thomas Edison

"You were born to win,
but to be a winner you must plan to win,
prepare to win, and expect to win." Zig Ziglar

“Smile and be happy otherwise your day will be crappy”
Sarah :)
