Quite recently I asked this question openly – strangely most people don’t seem to understand – so let me explain.

You are invited to a special dinner – all is ready and you just need to sit down with relish. So what happens – does the waiter dump the entire dinner including aperitif, starter, soup, main course, desert, all the belonging drinks and wines as well as coffee in front of you and leaves?

I am sure you laugh – certainly not – you get it all nicely served in due course, they will ask you what you prefer and will ask you if all is ok and they give you nice breaks in between to enjoy and let it settle – otherwise you might be getting indigestion instead of  having had an enjoyable evening.

Now let’s consider the steep learning curve in comparison. Every person will enter a course at the personal level of knowledge – not two persons are equal as far as knowledge and background is concerned.

When you look round you will find plenty of courses where you are simply dumped with a heap of resources and that’s it. Yet like with a delicious meal if you really want to make the most of it you need to get your information – first adapted to “where you are” and second in portions which you can digest and you need someone with whom to discuss the material, who will point you here and there to facilitate the training.

Especially in an industry as network marketing where a comprehensive education is not state of the art and lots of people seem to think they can do it anyways – well this situation as well as attitude is reflected in long-term numbers: 97% of all network marketers never make it, it is vital to make people increasingly aware of this situation.

Good coaching and mentoring is a necessity!

It is the easiest and one of the best ways of learning to lean “a bit” then put it into practical use and then learn again. This way you become proficient step by step, you learn the “trade” as an apprentice and after a year or two you are a network marketing professional who will be on the road to success, building a team based on relationships and trust, you will be able to give your team the same kind of training you received and you have a mastermind group at hand – the people who trained you – what an enjoyable ride. Success is the direct result of this approach and you will love it.

The MLM Spillover Myth

Author: FriekeKarlovits

Someone recently told me he’s joining an MLM company because of the promised spillover. I said, "They are lying to you!"

As a result the guy point-blank asked them if he’d get people put underneath him, and of course he was told that there was no guarantee for it!

Spillover is creating a welfare mentality.

Good people want to build it themselves. They want to learn the skills they need to build this business and create residual income, money that’s coming in week after week, year after year, that will pay even their children’s children.

MLM websites containing that word "spillover" as a rule say one way or other "get in now, today, and you’ll get all this spillover".

If you look closely at the compensation plans of the companies that promote spillover, you’ll find out that you don’t get paid on spillover as a rule. You need to qualify to get paid on that spillover, and  people who opt for spillover rarely ever qualify.

What a surprise – also here it is the people who do the work who get paid!

When You Say "Spillover", You Are Targeting Quitters! People who think they get something for nothing.

A network marketing company that promotes spillover is attracted welfare-minded people. You can’t build with these people, unless YOU do all the work! And when you don’t build their business, they’ll be off somewhere else, looking for a better welfare plan. As a result the failure rate will be 100%.

There is the next connected scam:

The quickest way to build a huge list is to offer something for nothing (no money, no work, no purchase) in return. You will see again and again  things like: “we’ve signed up more people faster than anybody else in the history of network marketing." But nobody ordering any product. It’s just names on a list – but they can call these people "network marketers."

Next they sell this huge database of worthless names (an "MLM genealogy list") for $10,000 each to 10 different list brokers. That’s $100,000 profit! And then the list brokers sell these "leads" to all the people in network marketing who want to build their business – including YOU!

You pay $2-$3 per lead for these people. When you call them they tell you they’ve never been in network marketing! They don’t even know what it is. They just opted in to some “something for nothing” list, hoping for the miracle of getting rich over night.

Conclusion? Run fast from any company focused on "spillover".  ALWAYS generate your own leads. How?

Get yourself seriously educated and you will do awesome!

Success In Life As In Network Marketing

Author: FriekeKarlovits

Today I would like to share with you a thought which struck me in an interview with Tony Robbins. It is a closed circle of parameters which have to be in place for success.

Success Formula:

Tony RobbinsOne cannot do without the other.

We all have a potential.

Yet unless our potential is backed by belief and we take action next, results are not likely to appear.

This is a life formula which applies for every area – personal life, personal development as well as professional life.

It is surprisingly simple – yet all truths are simple – gurus, however don’t like it – they tend to complicate things to have a basis for rip off!

Observe the Golden Rule – follow the simple steps and have success in what you are doing. Simple doesn’t mean it is is easy.  

  • Take personal responsibility for yourself first of all – to achieve more you have to become more!
  • Strengthen your belief in yourself to be able to stand up against the harsh winds around you. Those who are part of the grey masses do not like your “light”, they do not like you moving on your path of success, they do not like you to “own your life”, to have your long-term residual income, to live the life of your dreams
  • Take massive action – join forces with a mastermind group which reflects your set of mind. It will support you when the storms hit you and your convictions are severely tested. We will believe in you when you run into a spell of doubt about yourself and point the way for  you again!
  • Reap the results of your unwavering efforts! Never forget the envy of the people around you has to be earned! When you live in the warm bath of your achievement cold winds will not be important any more. You have reached the ultimate belief in yourself and the way you live life and can generously reach out and offer a helping hand for those who want to follow your example.

Are you ready for the journey? Reach out, we will help you to achieve your dreams provided you are willing and coachable and we can afford to do it for FREE!

    Life and all that is part of it is prone to accumulating clutter. We are so used to our house, environment, office, wardrobe, shelves, business, network marketing business, that we become blind to its subtle change, the blur that comes in and eventually becomes so dense.

    We may stop seeing the outlines, the necessities and may wade in the fog wondering why we are not having the success we dream of.

    Of course we are aware we need targeted leads, build relationships with our prospects, make sure they get training and are plugged into a network marketing system that duplicates.

    The blur, however, will haze our mind and the whole concept may be or become overwhelming that we cannot focus on what needs to be done next.

    In the corporate world much the same happens in companies and as a rule when things  are going down management calls in outside experts who are not “involved” who will see clear, who will give support in analysing which things have gone wrong…

    Well you can do the same – accept an offer for free coaching, take a hand offered and follow the guidance.

    • start with the basics and check your policies and procedures, your commission plan and consequently become aware of the strengths and weaknesses of your business. It happens that the entire situation is “not your fault”.
    • check if the way you do your work is a system that duplicates. You need a system which will adapt for every personality type if you actually want to succeed.
    • and check if the system you are working is up to date, because if you follow instructions which may have worked some 15 or more years ago – they are very likely outdated today

    To make sure that your “love of the products, business, work environment” doesn’t blur your perception you need this outside input.


    Warning:

    The truth may not be pleasant – but better to know it now than later if you want to base your life and future on what you are doing.

    You deserve the best – nothing but the very best!

    To Your Success
