Evaluate Opportunities Correctly And Stop Wasting Your Money!!
Before investing your money into any business you need to ask yourself two questions. Would I buy this product or service if there was not a business opportunity attached to it? If the answer is no get out of it because if you stay then you are a follower who is wasting his time. The next question is that does the income stop when the recruiting stops?

Most Crucial MLM Secret Revealed In Network Marketing Today Is Only To Sponsor Someone Whom You Want To Go With On A 30 Day Cruise With!!!!
You must sponsor people whom you would want go on a 30 day cruise with, no one else. I have learned it from my good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy who learned it from his friend and mentor Tom Big Al Schreiter. I bet you are figuring out why? The answer is that we all live once and life is too short to do business with and deal with people whom you can not stand. They will just consume your energy.
A primary reason why people escape from a job is because they have not been treated like they deserved to be. A problem that needs to be eliminated is people being desperate and signing up anyone who can fog a mirror. If people smell that you want their money they are going to stay away from you.
The only person you need to focus on is someone who has a dream no matter how much or how little money they have. We all have heard about the rags to riches stories. Choose the people who need your help and have common interests with you. You want people who follow instructions and are people whom you are looking forward to see again.
If you are not having fun in network marketing today you are doing it wrong. People before the internet in mlm became millionaires as well.
Tom Big Al Schreiter back in the 1970's has built two network marketing organizations. One with a downline of 100,000 people and another organization with 300,000 people. It was using the face to face technique.
Michael Dlouhy my good friend and mentor did the same thing. He targeted the market by selling his life insurance products to people who already had life insurance. His father Frank Dlouhy influenced him by an excellent word picture back in 1972: Michael Dlouhy said that his father told him that after he is gone the next guy who his wife would sleep with would get the life insurance. So six years later when he began in network marketing in 1978 the life insurance agent who signed him up as a distributor told him to make a list of his friends and family and he said NO. So he had sold life insurance to people who wanted to pay lower premiums at the time and earn five times as much at retirement. When people were satisfied with their life insurance they asked him if he could give a plan to their family members. Michael told them to call them up and let them know that he was available Tuesday's and Thursdays.
Another person is Jerry DiRhino Clark who started out in 1987 and built an organization by talking to ten people per day just like his sponsor had told him to do so. He was 19 at that time in college and his organization can grow year by year.
If those guys chased anyone to be in business with them, there would be no story. They had it much harder than we have it in network marketing today. What is our excuse of saying the word can't find good prospects whom who we would love crusing with? We do not have any is the answer!!!
Lets all Follow The Yellow Brick Road, Follow The Yellow Brick Road!!!

A Good MLM Tip Is Listening To Stories And Relating Them To Other Life Experiences
I got a good mlm tip. Everybody knows that we are all hard wired because ever since early childhood we have been programmed to want to hear stories. Lets say for instance every song that we hear. Every song has a story in it. Why do we sing parts of a song subconciously? We remember the lyrics to a section. Lets say for instance Michael Jacksons song Man In The Mirror. I recall when it stops in the middle of it and it goes "I am going to make a change, its going to feel real good Shimor Change better let yourself you know, you got to stop it yourself... Make that change!" Also at proms lets say back in highschool they song a Spanish song and there was a part where the DJ gave the Microphone to the crowd to finish the rest and went back is a another example.
Point is this: When we take the parts of a story whether it is a song or not and relate to other things we can open up new doors for conversation, blogging, articles and mlm success stories!!! We can learn not to quit from this story.
My former colleauge Eddie had a son who was an excellent baseball player and hit a ball a block long!! Eventually he was sent a letter by the New York Yankees to come and try out. He failed to show up. I do not know him personally but I do know that everything happens for a reason.
That little inner voice was telling him you can't do that. His father told me that he had become a police officer and I asked the father at the time is he unhappy with that? The father said no. But the point is this his life would in the long run be much more fruitful if he chose the first option of being a major league baseball player. That is similar to Uncle Darby who quit three feet from gold.
Be a leader and get the mlm truth by not quitting on your dreams. Make them come true and ignore the naysayers. See you at the top!!!

Without Genuine Excitement You Are A Dead Duck Floating In The Water
Think about the song from Flashdance "What A Feeling." That should be the national anthem for anyone who is pursuing a passion and wants to win big world wide. That has a lyric "Take Your Passion and Make It Happen". Before we go to bed at night we need to know how much money we want to earn every single month and what we want to give in return for it. Because remember there is no such thing as something for nothing. When we are lazer focused and have a passion for what we do then it becomes stronger in our eyes and smile. Lionel Richie sung in his song "Hello is it me your looking for, I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile your all I ever wanted..." That means we must have the tone of voice of a winner. It is not limited to building an empire from home, it goes for the stories that we want to tell, the friends we want to make and anything we look forward to having in our lives.
We must stay busy with our passion because then people will take us seriously. The only way you are happy is when you can accomplish something and serve to other people your knowledge so that you can be recognized as an expert. It is not a get rich quick scheme. If you are here for the money become a lawyer or work two three jobs. People can smell desperation and those who are the top people in their profession will avoid you like the plague because they know what takes to win a business. There is an old saying that the scrubs get cut from the team.
One person whose mistakes we can learn from is Robert Kyosaki. Everybody knows that he was taught by his rich dad to be successful since childhood and went with his rich dads reality. Robert quit his job in sales prematurely in 1978 and it set him for the biggest failure since he did not have his product patented. He lost millions and became homeless. He made excuse after excuse. If it wasn't for his rich dad who said build the business again he would have been out of the game with the rest of the quitters. But he stayed focused and he went from being homeless in 1985 to becoming a millionaire in 1989 in real estate.
He would not have lost the money if he did not party to his head and buy the expensive race cars.
Also you do not need to get married and have kids to make you happy. Happiness is an inner thing. If you are into marriage in order for your kids to do you favors do not start that just like you do not start smoking cigarettes. It will consume your energy and your kids will stay out of the house if you chase after them, just like if you chase the money.
In addition if you are someone who says to yourself the word "Who do you think you are?" then do yourself a favor and put the past behind. Your parents do not owe you a thing nor does anybody else. They did the best that they could with whatever they had.
The way to be excited is this. You must do 30% of the talking with short answers to your enthusiasm and your prospect must be the one who is curious 70% in the conversation. God gave you two ears and a mouth. Use it to have posture like that or lose it!! See you at the top!!!

Translating Memories From Little League Baseball Into Network Marketing Today And Applying Them
Here are some of the memories from my little league baseball career that I think are crucial for success in network marketing today and below I am translating it and PUTTING IT INTO ACTION for us to take!!!
You already had your first strike: The translation of that is that is to me is that after you have spoken to your first customer and your first person you will then know where to adjust.
Steal Second Base: Imagine yourself stealing second base when no one is looking. That means that whatever you have heard from your invisible counselors in the past whether you are in contact with them or not, you are stealing second base anyway based on taking action of whatever makes most sense to you. In other words you are taking action immediately whether you are ready or not. Do not care about what the cows say. They have never built a downline and stop worrying about what they have to say. They did not do your homework in school for you. Duh!!!
Shorten your swing: That means do not overswing or swing for the fences. You do not want to go for a home run or else you will strike out. Go for a base hit so that the runners in scoring position will score. That means build relationships just like if you were to be dating someone. Do not brag about yourself by saying I, I, I, because it is a BIG Turnoff to someone else. Rather do yourself a favor and ask genuine questions at the most three that have to do with the topic. Do not speak out of term. Keep testamonials and answers to questions with testamonials short.
Let The Other People Get Picked Off First Base: The meaning of that is that they are the ones who are wasting their time by just confusing you by giving you opportunity after opportunity without examining the facts. Imagine them getting picked off first base so many times that they are tired of being on the bases and want to take a rest on the bench? While they are doing that you have stolen second base, third base and home plate!!!
Each time before I work my PLAN OF ACTION I play a record in my head on all that!!! See You Guys At The Top!!!

Why Is No A Bad Thing In Network Marketing Today?
Imagine you and your wife head for a cruise in the Gulf Of Mexico. You go to the jackuzi and you are hugging and kissing for an hour. Then guess what happens? Your spouse says all of a sudden we can't talk anymore. You then ask her why and she says because I said no. The people who have been asking you to make a list of friends and family and telling you to get a 100 nos in this business are charlatans. You are not getting closer to a yes each time someone tells you no. Friends and family as well as strangers can not stand being sold. Isn't three nos bad enough?
Your best solution to assist you in finding common ground with your prospects is to learn the secret language of prospects and ace it. Three nights a week our mastermind call contacts leads and determines what color they are, in order to find out what turns them on and what turns them off.

Flexible Planning In Network Marketing Today
In network marketing today we must have flexible planning or else we will get nowhere. In this profession just like anything else in life adjustments need to be made. In Napoleon Hills book Think And Grow Rich he mentions that you must start from scratch and build new plans if your original ones do not work.
We must avoid being like Samuel Insull. He lost a fortune over one hundred million dollars. His plans at first were excellent. However the depression had forced him to change it and he refused to have done so. What we can learn from that is that we need to be persistent and make new plans when our plans do not work.
Another factor we must consider is our why? We of course must take action and have a strong why that will keep us in the game during criticism of a loved one or any other negative circumstances. If our why is 70% and your obstacle is 72% you are out. But if it is 100% you are in.
We need to shy away from being wishy-washy when our plans do not work. And we can not procrastinate. Not doing anything is a decision and it is equivalent to procrastination. That will be fear.
Bottom line is that if we work our plan meticulously and are not attached to the result, we will then all be stars!!!

What In The World Is Genuine Commitment In Multilevel Network Marketing?
Genuine commitment in multilevel network marketing is sacrificing fun and games for tommorows prosperity. John Smith once said "no work, no eat." That is the same thing that applies to network marketing today and always will of course in the future. For you to be able to be dedicated to building your organization you have to learn how to say no to other options. When people see you being successful they are going to ask for you to do them favors. Tell them gentle but firmly no, especially when you are working from at home. People will think because you are for most of the day in the house that you are like a 24 hour Seven Eleven and will try to suck your time away. You may asking is why? The reason why is because all they are used to is being told what to do by their boss and they do not ask themselves, what do I do if my job leaves me or my boss leaves me.
It is just like a bucket of crabs trying to get the one that climbs out back in. In other words saving someone else from success is dangerous. First of all your relationship does not get better. Second of all you are not ALL IN to your friendships and your business. It is just like gossiping between two other people who have difficulties with each other. In the end both of them will hate you more than they can't stand you, because you were the messenger.
As a kid you used to have to say no to peer pressure and the bullies. Here you have to do the same thing. If they can not adapt to your situation just let them exit your life, and if they can you will have more respect.
The main thing is that when you committ and pay the price in network marketing today, the entire auditorium will say BRAVO I knew you can do it.

What You Think Is What You Get Is The MLM Truth In Multilevel Network Marketing
Everybody knows that this mlm truth is as real as oxygen. Imagine sponsoring someone into your multilevel network marketing business whom you would want to go with on a 30 day cruise. If you think you will sponsor someone like that, then that is what you get. We can end this story here but I am going to discuss with you what I have learned from our mastermind call this afternoon.
Whatever habits we have acquired has been passed down from generation to generation. My friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy was abused as a kid and he had four brothers and two sisters. Two of his brothers died from the abuse. When Michael Dlouhy got married to his wife Linda he did not want to have any children because he was afraid that he would abuse them. Linda never pressured him. However things ten years later things changed for Michael. He admitted to Linda that he was ready to have children. Linda cried and told him that she knew that he could do it.
What does that mean for us in network marketing today? It means for us that if we want to make more then we must become more. Just like in Michael Jacksons song Man In The Mirror, "I am going to make a change for once in my life" it all starts with us. We have to become the person whom prospects want to be in business with. When we want love then we attract love, when we look for prosperity we attract prosperity. Like attracts like.
By the way I just listened to that song Man In The Mirror to cut the chatter out of my mind so that I do not fall behind. My suggestion to you is to listen to that same inspirational song as well if you want to change and pay attention to the part where it goes "I am going to make a change..its going feel real good Shimor, Change.." He cries so hard in that part that he represents that he has a why that makes him cry. If your why does not make you cry then you don't have one. Also I have mentioned in other articles that we have been all hardwired to hear stories, since childhood. Like the Incy Wincy Spider...down came the rain and washed the spider out...out came the sun. People love hearing stories. And everybody knows that testamonials sell as well.
Thirdly get plugged into a mastermind group for you to develop a stronger sense of attraction just like you build muscles lifting weights. There is an old saying that to make more you must become more!! Michael Dlouhy says "If you want to be a millionaire mastermind with millionaires" To be that way you must do just what I described previously for you the person whom others want to be in business with.

What Network Marketing Meant To Art Jonak During His Early Days
Everybody knows that Art Jonak has been working as an electrical engineer in Charlottesville Virginia. He witnessed two scenarios at his job that made him want to go out there and win for his family. One of the bosses who was two levels higher than Art asked him if he could borrow a $20 bill. Art said to his boss okay. Next while he worked there one of his coworkers who worked at that company for 20 years had a heart attack at work and died at the office. He was just 52 years old. Another thing that Art Jonak wanted to give up was the need to ask the government for food stamps in order to buy milk for his baby daughter. In addition to all that he was working three other jobs and with his highest paying job as an electrical engineer he could not stand being stressed out and had the fear of getting fired when he got promoted.
So Art Jonak decided that he wanted to do network marketing and create his own toll booth that would pay him while he is on vacation and of course while he is a sleep. By learning the people skills and working on himself he after a few years of struggling became coachable and did exactly what his mentor told him to do. Then slowly but surely his business exploded and he got wealthy.
Furthermore he is my good friend and mentor of my good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy. And Michael Dlouhy interviewed Art Jonak before he decided to work with him.

A Crucial Network Marketing Truth Is To Be Selective Of Your Mastermind Group
Today on our Monday leadership call with Michael Dlouhy I have learned that you have to be selective of your mastermind group. Michael Dlouhy is living proof of that point. He did for everybody a big favor when he joined over 100 companies in a two and a half year period of time, because he wanted to see what worked and what did not work. His results of what he had seen was companies selling to the representatives very expensive tapes, expensive binders and telling them to make money by recruiting representatives without doing retail. And of course they were doing friends and family and were turned into being the pushy sales people that 98% of the population hate. That is the wrong mastermind group to select.
At the end of the two and a half year period Michael Dlouhy had to rent a Uhaul dump truck to dump whatever brochures, ringbinders and any tools that the companies sold to the reps because everything in there was from lack and he questioned if those companies had five pillars and NONE were. Many people on todays conference call had brochures from old companies. Just looking at the brochure or anything else from the old company that leads you in the wrong direction is enough to destroy your success.
Select the people from your mastermind group who are from abundance and want the same thing you do. They must either be learning from experts or be experts themeselves. Many people think for instance Robert Kyosaki has advice about network marketing. He of course is a great writer, but he has never built a downline. If I needed advice on real estate I would go to someone like him.

How To Identify A Serious Person For Your Multi-Level Marketing Organization
This is how Don Failla describes a serious person in his book How to Build a Large Successful Multi-Level Marketing Organization.
A serious person is eager to learn. He calls you all the time with lots of questions that he wants answered. He asks for help by asking you to visit with him to sponsor or train that person.
He is excited about the business by understanding enough about the program and they know it works!! They make a commitment by purchasing and using the products and all of their spare time is being spent on learning about the products and the opportunity.
They have goals because goals are the things that drive a person to get what they want. They do not have to have them written down, but everybody knows that it’s better to have them written down because it will make you have a stronger desire to take action. They have a list of people and are organized. One may be driving in an area where they have not been in for a while. Just spending time there is going to jog your memory of someone who lives or lived in the neighborhood. Because you always have your list of names with you, you can add right away their name to your list. When you think about calling someone in a few days you can scan down the list and there is the name!!! If you did not write it down when you first thought about it, you have a missed opportunity. Those people are fun to be with because they are always looking forward to seeing you. Main thing is that they are positive!! We all like to be around positive people!!

The MLM Truth For Everyone Is To Get Rid Of The Elephant In Da Brain!!!
Everybody knows that the mlm truth is to get rid of the elephant in your brain. In other words your subconcious mind rules thousands of peoples lives. You were not born with it. When you were a baby your hard drive was empty. But people who influenced you had contaminated it. I bet you want to figure out how to get rid of those pathetic thoughts. First of all you have to say your self talk out loud to cut the negativity out of your brain. Next is that you have to have in your mind all the positive emotions to move forward. They are Faith, Desire, Sex, Love, Enthusiasm, Hope, Prosperity and Abundance.
Another network marketing truth is that everybody says that the minute you open your mouth is the time when you are training your prospect. He is going to make his decision NOT based on the facts but based on emotion. So you must have the positive emotions in there when speaking to him.
There is an old saying that everyone wants to be a part of something big in network marketing today. Whether or not someone is negative or positive they want someone whom they can follow. That is a role model or a mentor. That means that they do not want to hear information, information, information. They want to be able to point their prospects to the third party tool. The leaders who spend less time on the phone and more time prospecting and signing people in a given week or day are the ones who win.
The ones that have to get their act together are the ones who are procrastinating. Napoleon Hill in Think And Grow Rich says that Indecision and Procrastination are two twin brothers. It is the same meaning. Guess how that happened. It has to do with the subconcious mind. Lets say for instance your why is to be able to earn an extra paycheck so that you can take that vacation with your kids and you for whatever silly reason delay doing your business. Subconciously you are telling your kids no. Like I have mentioned in previous blogs the Slight Edge, it could go on the downside as well.
The more times you say no to your kids the more they will say later on no to you later in life. So indecision and fear both blend into doubt. Therefore you must do whatever it takes to be an mlm champion for your family whether or not you feel like it. Never let your emotions rule you because many people who let that start out comfortable at the very begining end up uncomfortable at the end.
This is what Randy Gage mentioned. "Be enthusiastic to attract your top five leaders so that your five legs should be chasing after you and do the things that other people will not do so that you can hit the beach when others can't."

What Is The Prime Reason For Flunking In Network Marketing Today?
The answer to that question is not taking responsiblity. Everybody knows that when you are over 18 years old you are by law responsible for your own life. Why do people avoid taking responsibility for 10-50 years? The reason why is because they do not have a definite purpose of where they are going in life. To have a definite purpose you have to have a burning desire for what you want to accomplish. Lets say you want to be a six figure income earner in two years. What do you do? First of all everybody says that if you want to be a six figure income earner you have to ask what a six figure income earner did and not question it. Even if it is painful do it. I heard from Jim Rohn "the price of success weighs ounces and the price of failure weighs tons." Second you gotta ask what is most important to you in life? Are you being asked to do too many requests that take over your business? If yes and you are being disturbed tell your folks in a firm way no I have four appointments with clients that I have to make and I can not do it right now. If you say a few times no and they fail to adopt do your business outside the home in a library or Starbucks where you have the least distractions. People too often forget about the Slight Edge, that it is invisible results are being produced based on every single task that needs to be done. My friend Art Jonak had two of his friends join him in business during the same week. They both earned $1000 after 6 months. After 12 months the second guy's income was $5000 per month. However after 24 months the second guys income was $50,000 per month while the first guys income remained at $1000 per month. Why did that happen? That happened because the first guy focused while the second one did not follow the system and wandered off.
People do not know where to get advice from. My good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy says that if you want to get open heart surgery don't ask a dentist about it. A dentist of course does not know anything about it. Yet people are not selective with whom they should ask advice from. Do not ask your best friend if he is not living the life you want to live.
We can all learn from Michael Dell and Bill Gates because they were youngsters when they had they were in business. Bill Gates was in the late 70's when he started and Michael Dell was in the late eighties. They believed everyone will have a desktop computer in their house. While IBM told them it will never happen. Guess what IBM lost and Gates & Dell won. Dell Corporation was started in a college dormitory and Dell saw the end result.
Napoleon Hill mentions that if you do not know what you are majoring in college you should stop going. I have a childhood friend who dropped out in his third year of college and he used to say that you do not need to have college to become successful in life. He went back to college only because he knew why he wanted to go back for, NOT because of the degree.
He was 25 years old at the time and was always an A student. If he could make excellent decisions so can we!!! It does not matter if it is in network marketing or not!!!
We can all learn how to see the end result and go back to the beginning. We must plan what we do tommorow tonight, just like we did our homework the night before we went into school. In The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People Steven Covey will tell you the rest of the story.
See you at the top!!!

Be Persistent And Do Not Quit Building Your Best MLM Business
My good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy returned last night from the Network Marketing Mastermind Event in Houston Texas. He heard the top Network Marketers speak there and found out one thing that they all had in common with respect to building their best mlm business. That was persistence. They never gave up no matter how steep the road has been. Their income comes from three four key leaders who did not give up either. Since the time their leaders joined them in business it has taken them from the range of 18 months to 36 months for them to start building. Everybody knows that in network marketing today most networkers quit on their downline because they think that time period is too slow. Big mistake!! Maybe they have other issues going on in their lives right now and the timing may not be right for them or they are still reinventing the wheel. You do not know what you do not know.
Also since network marketing is no different from dating someone then they should keep in mind that there always comes a new distributor. And they fail to realize that the people who will make them the big money are people whom they do not even know yet. Therefore they should quit worrying about what their family says, or their friends say or anyone else whom they know. The main idea you should ask yourself is this: We only are responsible in any network marketing company to do two things. Gather a few customers and teach others to do the same thing. If everybody applied the fact that they recommend and promote every day but they haven't collected the check, it would make the world a better place for you and for me. In Michael Dlouhy's e-book Success in Ten Steps he describes that it takes a doctor to get educated for 8 years before he has a chance to earn income and in network marketing in 8 years a networker if he has followed our recepie can earn at least ten times the amount that a doctor does. Why give up? Why turn your life over to the government or an employer that uses you? "Did you know that most Americans at age 65 have a negative net worth?" It makes no sense. The price of success weighs ounces while the price of TONS!!
Be the person who says I am glad I did. Rather than I wish I had!!! The way you can do it is by the plan, do, review adjust method. Do not be wishy-washy, be someone who reviews their plan & spots where they went wrong and makes adjustments by going in the right driving direction!! Time to get back on track for everyone!!! And remember that success is a journey where you keep on growing NOT a destination. Like Napoleon Hill says in his book Think And Grow Rich "The person who stops studying is doomed for mediocricity." Don't be average, be a SUPERSTAR!!!!
See you at the top!!
