Solid Success in MLM

Grow Personally and Your Business will Grow

2011-01-04T10:23:00.001-08:00

Most people will challenge such a statement . They are having a hard time connecting these two parameters.

Let’s have a look at it. To grow a business, YOU have to be a person with a good self confidence. YOU need to stand up for your idea, for what you do. YOU need to be able to stand criticism of the people around you. YOU need to get it all going with the right amount of knowledge and persistence.

What if any or several of these factors are a problem for you? Perhaps you have a hard time taking the criticism of your family and friends – especially when it is a modern business you are developing, like network marketing, there is a big likelihood that they may even ridicule you for what you have decided to do. Or you might have some solid training in a totally different area and might need the right training for what you are starting.

All of this takes strength and time and as a rule you need a team of like minded people who will give you support to learn, respectively grow the personal qualities you are as yet missing. It is a process. It is not easy to see yourself, except in the mirror – and this should be seen also in the metaphoric way.

Once you have started to develop your capacities with the loving support of preferably a mastermind group you will be surprised how business changes. You start to radiate who you are and like bees to the honey people will be attracted to you who need you and only you as a partner for their personal journey.

This sheer fact shows that a business like network marketing has a time factor attached to it. Very much as you cannot graduate college when you enter the first grade you cannot build this business by snipping your fingers – you need to grow, to become the person you want to be to succeed – but this is part of the challenge you have chosen.

Have the courage and do it! You will be so happy once you are there.

MLM Success - The Secret of Heart Felt Leadership

2010-10-18T10:31:00.000-07:00

What are the three topics of leadership in an MLM business:

You must connect with people before you can hope to touch their life.
You must touch them as a person, at a heart level.
Your intentions MUST be obvious, so that they feel/know you mean it, that you are there to help them own their lives.

It is so important that they can trust your intentions are right and not a fake. Most people who are searching for an MLM home business have had a number of previous bad experiences with MLM opportunities and are very critical as a result. Once they dare to trust you they will open up to your mentoring and eventually start crafting their WHY . Understanding this emotional link is part of MLM leadership and eventually of their/your network marketing success.

The Secret tells you that subconscious emotional issues are the cinder of magnetism between people. Every MLM leader attracts those network marketing leads who are right for him and vice versa.

People want to be understood and people who want to work at home have a vision of what their life could be. They need the right MLM coach to find their passion.

The development of the name of this industry could be like: MLM, network marketing, relationship marketing and finally emotional marketing.

When talking to people you want to convey that they have found the person who will help them reach their dreams.

They get the INSPIRARION and the SKILLS to achieve what they desire.

Help them feel the FIRE of what they DESIRE. Draw it close!

Then they need to get the HORSE they need to reach their passion their goals. The MLM company and products they can use to achieve the desired result in their home based business.

It is so important that new people in MLM, in network marketing come to understand right away that PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, TRANSFORMATION is their first step and of course the first step of the new people they bring in..

It is the personal development, the forming of relationships which is the Success Focus in Network Marketing. The second big thing is a MLM system which duplicates.

It is not about one-time or short-term selling it is about long-term business relationships. It is about duplication and about transforming people's lives. It is about teaching them how to own their lives!

People have dreams and desires, and as an MLM Leader you help them on their path of success in their business opportunity. It is all about them and when you have the right approach as a network marketing leader you will never ever have to worry. Help them to be successful and your success will be the result.

Be a Mentor With A Servant’s Heart!

Longevity with Network Marketing

2009-08-04T13:18:00.001-07:00

Perhaps you will wonder how longevity and network marketing fit. Let me tell you a story to explain:

I come from a family where longevity is kind of the “general family feature”. On my maternal as well as on my paternal side many of my forefathers lived well into their nineties. The fascinating thing about it is, that the people in my family stay active even at that age. Therefore people tell me – “you really have excellent genes and therefore a high likelihood of getting very old”. However, as a standard reply I tell them that not only my blood relations turn old in good health, but that also the respective partners, who marry into the family and who of course do not share our genes, become just as old as a rule.

To me this clear evidence that longevity is not only a question of genes, but to just the same extent it is a question of personal attitude and lifestyle. Lifestyle of course means leading a fairly healthy life with proper food, enough sleep, a certain amount of physical activity to make sure the system gets enough oxygen, but also mental activity so that the brain’s alertness is maintained. Lots of work we find doesn’t harm at all! Attitude is your personal mindset as to how you approach life, your pattern of thoughts, mental activity, readiness to be open and forward, making plans and living a life with a focus and goals.

Attitude is the link to network marketing. Network marketing is an industry where people have to learn as to how to improve their attitude, how to specify their desires, make plans, go forward and blend with the world and the people in it, all of which creates an environment of mental activity, positive thought patterns and a zest for life and joy that in turn forms an excellent basis for longevity at perfect health.

Time will show if in years to come the ratio of network marketers among the people who become old will be exceptionally high – right now lots of things indicate that this may well be so.

You feel you want to know how to proceed in this direction? Well – simply be in touch and start communicating. We’ll help you find out where to go or where your focus in life may be.

The Freedom of Being Your Own Boss

2009-07-29T00:39:00.001-07:00

Looking at being self employed from the standard point of view it can be interpreted as: “work yourself and do it steadily”. This is an idea which doesn’t appeal to lots of people. It is the general idea, that being self employed means that unless you work all the time your income will not be there and what’s even worse you have the option of 24 hours per day or of having employees with all the resulting liabilities.

Especially in societies with a high level of social security, where unemployment benefits are a standard, the idea of being employed spreads security some way or other. People think that even if out of work they will have at least some money to keep them going. In contrast self employed people are considered to be working without a safety grid.

As we are what we think it is small wonder that people have somewhat lost their dreams in the process or they have become so remote that they only reside in some far away fairy tale. The habit to adjust to what ever income they have has become a plague – and we all know, plagues are destructive. They are destructive to the inflicted person as well as to the society where the plague strikes.

Now let us discuss the freedom of being your own boss. In a solid MLM business, where all the required features are top notch you all of a sudden have the chance to actually build a business. This means you stop exchanging your time for money, the key factor which keeps you in the rat race in conventional business.

In MLM it is the top requirement that first of all you build yourself and only then you build a team, you support your team, you build your customer base and provide service to them and you learn step by step how to become proficient in this new environment.

What does it mean to build yourself. As stated at the beginning of this contribution, it is inherent in our society that people tend to loose their dreams. So building yourself means recapturing your dreams, learning to create a vision and ultimately a goal which will become the fuel for your activities.

When acting from a burning desire to achieve your goal, all your activities of building your team by building the people you work with are fruitful. It is wonderful to watch people evolve, give them the support they require and to have great life time friendships develop. What do you think?

A residual income will be the bye product of building your business, which will give you the freedom to live the life of your dreams.

Come and join the ride!

Why are Gardening and Network Marketing Alike?

2009-07-26T22:31:00.001-07:00

onlywire Tags: Michael Dloughy, gardening, network marketing, Frieke Karlovits

Working in the garden puts me in a pensive state of mind and today it suddenly struck me: Network marketing is just like gardening and I will explain it to you.

When you know nothing at all about gardening and you decide you want to buy a house with a nice piece of land and start your own garden, this will be a major challenge if you just go about it without getting yourself educated about gardening.

Even if you start reading up you will still need someone who is proficient about it to give you advice and support and at times perhaps even a helping hand. You need to plan what you want to be doing first. Decide where the fruit trees will have to go and which, which area would be nice for a vegetable garden and which plant mix would suit to make the space around the house and the yard just beautiful. It has to be considered carefully that something nice is there at each season, that the required work will be in tune with the time you can spend on it and that you kind of develop the garden for long-term usage.

Now let us look at network marketing. when you first have the idea that you want to do something on top of your job you have to do some critical thinking as to how much time you will be able to put in and what the ultimate goal in context with the additional effort would be. Then, if you proceed wisely you will have to look around and find someone whom you trust and who will be able to help you get going in a business of your own. And of course you will make sure that you work with someone who has adequate experience and whose success was not achieved in the past but who is having success now! This is what Michael Dloughy points out again and again and it makes perfect sense considering the changes which have taken place in business since the internet has come up.

Time is a feature which gardening and network marketing have in common too. You cannot expect a garden to be flourishing within a few short weeks and you cannot expect a business to be either. Growth, which ever way, always takes place over a period of time. Lots of people have a problem with this, but some don’t!

Why Want to Be a Networker?

2009-07-14T14:18:00.001-07:00

Looking at the industry of network marketing people are fascinated by the lifestyle networkers are leading. You need not be a millionaire to have lots of freedom – work from home to you schedule, earning not a linear but a recurring income to quote only a few features.

Now what is a linear income – it is an income which stops the moment your performance stops. Look at at a lawyer or a shoe maker or a taxi driver or in fact many other professions – in each case the income stops as soon as you quit doing your job.

A recurring income is an income which keeps coming in after having done something right once. What could that be – it could be a singer who recorded a cd which keeps being sold again and again earning him a constant income, or a writer who wrote a best seller book which keeps being sold, but of course it could be a network marketer who built his business once and solid.

Having such a recurring income permits the person a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle without having to worry about orders or money or a job – wow what a benefit to have.

Linear and recurring can be applied to other areas of business as well. For example buying a car, providing you pay it in cash would be a linear purchase whereas the rent for a flat would be a recurring expense. Provided you have paid into a pension scheme your pension will be a recurring income too. Many people, however, cannot afford to pay enough into pension schemes that their pension will permit them to maintain their accustomed lifestyle once they are pensioners. Therefore it is no surprise that many people want to become networkers and build a recurring income that will permit them to maintain their desired lifestyle .

Next time we will be looking as to what has to be watched out for when choosing a network marketing opportunity, that everything is in place and solid, so that the business will not only pay their retirement but will also pay their children and grandchildren! Information which is well defined thanks to Michael Dloughy.

Dream Life – Live Dream

2009-06-30T15:16:00.001-07:00

What a challenge in a western society!

Right from a very early age we are being told off for dreaming. It is considered to be of no value for our development and becoming established in life later on. We are step by step deprived by our powerful, given way of creating, as a dream is a high incentive to focus on ideas which in turn will make us take action to bring them to life.

A dream is a vision and visions come in when a person connects with the higher spheres and is open for input.

The majority of adults will need help with re-collecting their dreams. Team work in programs like the Mental Cleanse offered by Michael Dloughy are very effective when it comes to removing old and inadequate programming from our minds. Old programming like: don’t do this and don’t do that, be careful this is dangerous, watch our what your friends are saying, or even worse the manifold superstitions we get imprinted on us by the well meaning people around us to name only a small list of them, is highly inhibiting when it comes to dreaming life – day dreaming and as such boosting creativity.

It is this fear which was built up over the years through the conditioning we received which needs to be acknowledged and removed from within us. Since these things have sunk in deep as a rule – so deep in many cases that people need to actually dig them out from very deep within, ongoing teamwork is the most efficient way to also help stabilise the new found freedom of mind. Dreams like happy children, a relaxed atmosphere at home, having a secure income without having to commute to work, a home business, the freedom to decide what to work, when to work and with whom to work, the chance to make others succeed – people need courage to bring all this to the surface, to as a next step express it and bring it to life.

It is this bringing to life which again requires the loving support of a mastermind group to compensate for the raging storm in our environment – again those loving people close to us and also buddies at work and in many places who may ridicule us for what we have found to be our dream, our goal. The team gives support and a “home” where to mix with like minded friends who have to face same or similar issues and eventually we grow enough that we spread our wings and proudly “live our dream”!

Think Big - You are What You Think!

2009-06-24T14:46:00.001-07:00

This statement can be found found frequently in all sorts of contexts.

Nothing will come into existence in a person’s life which was not first a thought. Let me explain – you want to have a nice holiday – well you are going to have one when you first “think you want it” and next “think when, where, etc.”. The last ingredients is taking action and actually book it.

Why “think big” – well when you think of a holiday you can either think about lazing at home – nothing wrong with that of course, but not very eventful, But you can also think about making a cruise or a South sea holiday or whatever and get that organised..

As soon as you have understood this principle it will be obvious to you that personal development is an issue which will decide as to where you will be going in life. In a normal job the inherent limitations will not make it so obvious. You can go there and work your time, finishing the work you were told to do, however it will not contribute to a career with a perspective of climbing the ladder to become a manager. To become a manager personal development is a must.!

So when you dream and start to tune yourself to think big you start on the road of development which will bring you forward, provided you walk this road with an open mind, the awareness that you need expert counseling on many topics and the persistence it takes to implement new thoughts and ideas into your life. It also takes bringing your thoughts and dreams into your heart, to mix them with the burning desire to achieve. this burning desire will be the drive to let you surpass obstacles and failures you may meet up with on the way.

Such a process is the core requirement for building a network marketing business, as network marketing is a business where people are joining people and a positive and competent person is likely to attract likewise.

People at times don’t seem to understand this information, don’t seem to grasp how critically important it is to approach building a business from this point of view instead of simply pitching everyone with their opportunity – some people, however understand!

It is not a miracle,it is a simple law of nature – you are what you think and you attract whoever you are.

There is coaching available if you chose so - it is at no cost, but not free, as it will require your time, dedication and effort as well as your persistence so that you can grow to whoever you want to be.

What Colour are YOU?

2009-06-15T00:43:00.001-07:00

We all know that colour is very much part of this world. We see it in the plants, the minerals, the animals and of course also the rainbow. By now it is even common knowledge that colours do have healing impacts when applied to the aura of a person or even when being eaten by ways of say – purple fruit, greens or whatever.

Another important concept where colour comes in is the knowledge of personality colours. This is probably not quite so much the common knowledge as other personality characteristics like being a sanguine or a hothead or whatever.

When it comes to personality it is the 4 prime colours which are being used: yellow, blue, green and red.

Yellow and blue people are open and vivacious whereas green and red people are closed up personalities.

Most people have a blend of colours in them, yet on of the colours is the dominant one and will have a considerable impact on their interaction with the world.

Determining of the personality types according to coulours has become quite a science and when you feel you want to improve your interaction, your communication with people knowledge about personality colours will come in rather handy. While precise and wholesome information will be the best possible communication when it comes to dealing with greens, such an approach will bore the blue personality to death, just to give you a very clear example.

Getting full grasp of this concept will take you a bit of learning and practice, but once you have the hang of it you will be highly pleased with the results you get.

You are welcome to be in touch with me about it – I’ll be more than happy to help you acquiring this knowledge.

Your Future is Today

2009-06-04T01:16:00.001-07:00

"It is not enough to know - you have to do it" - this simple quote has a great impact on life.

Let us apply this to a network marketing business:
You know that *you need a solid company, *the commission plan has to meet certain standards, *you have to read your policies and procedures before signing up, *you need a system that is duplicable, *you need to create leads, *you have to build a relationship with people as you have understood that people follow people and not opportunities, *you want a business with high retention rates and a good residual income - what does all this knowledge serve you unless you DO IT?

What you do today will have an immediate impact on your future and what you leave undone today just the same.

Your success is determined by what you decide today and by what you implement today.
It is a good option to blend knowledge and implementation, by choosing a proven system which will give you all the knowledge and training you require and where the team spirit will give you the back up you need to implement on an ongoing basis.
After years and years of standing up and building a business on my own I have found the perfect home in Mentoring For Free.
It is our heart felt concern that as many people as possible get a chance to wake up and finally have the success they deserve - that they finally are put in a position to own their lives!

The Art of Communication

2009-05-08T12:47:00.000-07:00

The art of communication to a considerable extent depends on the the cultural background, the level of education, the age, the profession and many other factors
Communication is a very sensitive topic and needs expert training if someone wants to be proficient at it. There are many spicy stories in history which show very well how much has changed over the centuries.

Modern people do not consider communication an art very often. But communication still is a major factor in determining success or failure.

Let's look at Network Marketing which is a business of people joining people. Interaction between people is the main factor in this industry and it should be a major part of any education provided in this context.

Most people don't think they need to be educated in communication, yet some people do.
Yet those who accept the necessity for education are the top earners in this business.

Common sense should tell us that we have 2 ears and only one mouth - an indication that we have to listen twice as much as we speak and we have to listen to what a person says and not what we think is being said! Next we have to look carefully(2 eyes) at what we learned so that in the end we can give a well tempered reply (1 mouth). There are different types of people who need to be handled in different ways and also strategies have to be acquired to give a conversation/communication direction.

Hopefully this has given a first idea as to how essential good communication skills are when inter-relating with people - you simply need to do it! Welcome!

MLM Yesterday and Today

2009-05-03T10:49:00.000-07:00

Time is racing - MLM Yesterday is only 25 years back and it is already stone age. In those days it was state of the art to make a list of friends and family, to work in the warm market. For many this work from home ended up in frustration as these new entrepreneurs saw this business opportunity as a good way to work from home with the motivation of increasing the family income and having a better lifestyle, yet what they did not see was, that their prospects mostly were not what they wished for.

Let me explain this: offering this new business to someone who was not looking for an additional income was like offering a boat to someone who prefers hiking as a sport. Very often people ended up having friends and family antagonised or they received "good advice" to let go of such dubious business schemes.

Let's jump to today! In this very short span of time the internet has appeared on the scene. Many people have learned a lot more as to how to proceed in a network marketing business and to evade the "pains of old" a new trend has come up - to make the business automised in order to avoid discussions. Loads of offers can be found that claim things like "build your business online without sponsoring a single person" or "we build the business for you".
However, the success rates have not increased compared with yesterday. Lots of people invest time and money to become independent and self sufficient only to end up frustrated and at their wits end.

The solution is so easy: There is no profession which can be done without proper training! So why should anyone perceive that network marketing can be done without proper training?

Many people do not understand this - some do! Which group do you belong to?
