Keep It Simple

There's some wiring in our brains that we want to complicate things, make them harder than they need to be, or reinvent the wheel.  In this business, the opposite is true.  If an 8 year old can't do it, you shouldn't either - is the general rule.

We can be creative in many other parts of our lives.  The simpler we make our network marketing business, the more effective, productive, and duplicatable our business becomes -- and that is the key to the success.  Do steps 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Repeat.  Repeat.  Repeat.

You show your team members these steps.  They learn the steps.  They show their team members these steps.  They learn the steps.  They show their team members these steps. Follow? Pretty easy, right?

Less is more.  Use the tools such as videos, webinars.  Do the 3-way edification process.  We're in this to help people create income streams in their lives.  The more we complicate, the less we make this happen.

Remember if an 8 year old can't do it, please don't.  Save that for other parts of your life.

Go Through the No to Get to the YES

Think what you would do for your child.  Walk a hundred miles?  Fight for his rights all the way to the Supreme Court?  Stay up all night listening to her fears?  Anything and everything without a doubt.  

Where's that passion, that fire, with your business?

How many no's would it take for you to just quit?

Would you quit on your child?  Why quit on your dreams, then?  What example would you be setting?

The power of no is what you give it.  It can either make you better - as with every no there is a lesson - even if it's just wrong timing.  Or it can make you quit.  It's your choice, your power.

I have learned that getting No's is part of the formula to getting to the Yes's.  It's not one or the other, it's not left is yes and right is no like at a "T" in the road.  It's that I have to go through the "no" neighborhood to get to the "yes" neighborhood -- it's part of the journey, the process, the practice.

So when you think of the no's and they make you want to quit.  Remember that passion you have to never stop for your child - use it for your dreams, you will make you and your child and this planet at a better place.

180 degrees from Corporate

Today I was practicing my story to get it under 60 seconds.  I noticed a theme of how network marketing is 180 degrees from Corporate world.  It's like a total reversal.

From my experience, Corporate is about the bottom line.  Not about people.  It's about working really hard, over 40 hours a week which is the only amount of hours you get paid for;  who is sleeping with who; politics, and expense cutting.  You don't get to choose who you work with, nor how often your job description gets changed.  

In network marketing, it is 100% about people.  Imagine that!  A business, you get to own, and the only way you succeed is by helping others succeed.  It's about choosing who you want on your team, who you talk to, have fun with, and help achieve their dreams.  It's about making an income that you want and deserve without limits.  You can't get fired, you can only quit.

So for anyone out there in the rat race, or just about to enter it, may I suggest to you to weigh out your options. Network marketing is 180 from Corporate, and definitely a better way.

Wages don't make wealth. They make a living.

That's a new concept for me.  When I worked for Corporate, I made a decent wage.  I would get a steady paycheck every two weeks.  And I would work another two weeks, and get paid again. Was I getting wealthy, despite my 6 figure income?  No.  Was I making my boss, his boss, the Board, and shareholders, wealthy?  Well, yes.  They were getting paid based on my work efforts, my sales.  They leveraged themselves.

Wages don't create wealth.  Wages help you make a "living".  Well, I wanted more.

The way to create wealth is through leverage.  Well known financial gurus, that walked the walk, don't trade their time for a paycheck.  They leverage themselves.  Whether it's through rental income properties, car wash or laundry mat ownership, or network marketing, they leveraged their time.  They created wealth as these items would make them an income whether they were there or not.

Why do so many people have judgements against network marketing?  They usually say "oh, you have to get someone, to get someone, and you make money off of what they make...".  Isn't that true of any company?  Insurance? real estate? car sales?  Everyone gets a piece of the pie.

The difference is in network marketing it is about helping your team.  Period.  If they don't succeed, you don't succeed.  It's about entrepreneurship, helping individuals create an income.  It's not about politics, greed, supporting unethical actions, or about the bottom line no matter the cost.  It's about people.  It's about hard work.  It's what this country was founded on.  

Leveraging your time, helping others to succeed, and being a people's business are just a few reasons why I left the Corporate world and haven't looked back.  It's time for entrepreneurship to help turn our country's economy around.
