Common goals  in people today are ideas like: Fire your boss, start your own business, become an entrepreneur running a home business, having success in business, to name only a few.

In fact it is the internet which enables entrepreneurship at an entirely different level. Internet marketing is the big growth area. However, as in any other more conventional business you have to set it up professionally to take your inspiration on the path of success. You need a business plan which you ought to discuss with an expert on the topic as a consultant to make sure your basics are sound. Of course you also need a certain amount of cash flow as you need to take care of having the right software to do your work. Super efficient back offices are available on the net for very reasonable money so there is no need that you re-invent the wheel As a rule investing (time rather than money) is mainly required in the area of personal education. You need to get to know all the possible resources and free training you can find on the internet, knowledge of technology which is required to eventually get going. But also specific skills are a necessity.

What is your first goal? Help yourself by accepting help. MLM as any other profession requires specialised knowledge as well as personal development to make it grow. You need to learn about building relationships with people, about the law of attraction and  that most people today do not want to be “sold”. The motivation for this effort is rooted in your personal goal – the reason why you stepped on this path of wanting a small business of your own! After a while most people will realise that MLM in fact need not stay in the range of a small business – with the right mentoring, which lets you develop your leadership skills and your capacity for management you will be surprised about the growth you may experience.

This growth is also directly related to the coaching you hand on to the people you work with not only yourself but in the entire leadership team. You and the team with whom you work provide a business service which will “breed” growth and personal development for all who participate – provided what you do and the system you use can be duplicated by everyone who joins in. Learning of the basics should put you in a position of being able to judge if this duplication actually works – if not – search until you find a background where it does work. This is the most important details when it comes to choosing a network marketing business.

MLM is not about sales, it is not about recruiting – it is about developing people so that they will be able to do what you do. This is the secret to success in this industry.

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!

Credit has to be given to Napoleon Hill for compiling this knowledge.

There are four elements of the thought process which are beyond our active control. You can adapt to them, but not control them.

1.) Infinite Intelligence

The higher power which ever way you may call it. You cannot discipline it yet you can tune your thought pattern in a way that you can tap it in a way. We all know that the subconscious mind cannot be controlled in the way as we do our conscious thought process, however, it is the connecting link between our conscious mind and Infinite Intelligence. As it acts on the dominating thoughts of the conscious mind this is the way we can take influence on our communication with Infinite Intelligence.

2.) The Subconscious Mind

Programming of the subconscious mind cannot be done by giving it orders – no the only way are desires charged with emotion. The subconscious mind does snot discriminate however – it only recognises emotion, cannot tell however, is it positive or negative. It will carry out the instructions of the negative emotions just as readily as those with a positive charge. It is therefore a necessity to practise hygiene of thought – become proficient at keeping those thoughts focused in our mind and emotion which we want to materialise

3.) Sixth Sense / Telepathy

This is the broadcasting and receiving station for thoughts. Thoughts are things – vibrations and, as the frequencies of mobile phones, TV, radio and more travel through the ethers and can be received by the appropriate devices, also the vibrations of thought can be received when our mind is tuned to an exceptional state of perception. A mastermind group will definitely be of help in the process.

4.) The Five Senses

Our normal five senses: seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing and touching when looked at in a more specific way turn out to be deceptive as they work within certain given parameters. Take a film, where the wheels of a moving train all of a sudden seemingly move backwards or take object which are heated to different temperatures – when touching the skin one and the same object at one and the same temperature may at first appear cold when applied to the skin and  only a short while later may be perceived as warm when applied after and ice cube which was a lot colder. These tricks can be tried with any of the senses and demonstrates that you need to be careful when trusting your senses.

It is small wonder that personal development is such an important factor, that finding a mastermind group for support is such an important factor, that learning principles which can be grasped in spite of all these challenges is such an important factor. To succeed in life and in business we cannot go forward on make believe and assumptions. We have to learn to structure ourselves – we have to learn

“How to Think and not What to Think”

as Michael Dlouhy repeatedly stresses in his trainings. This challenge can be mastered with consistent training, at no cost – it takes your time and dedication though!

P.S. Make Free Training a habit and you will succeed in whatever home business (MLM or network marketing) you are doing online or locally.

Sit down in a pub or some other place and listen to what people are talking -  There is this woman who has been on the first pages of a magazine, featured as the top business person of the year or the man who built a multi million Dollar business from scrap or that guy who actually got rich in MLM. I mean you know what I am talking about?

People who become rich always become the center of gossip. You will hear all sorts of comments like – well “she has had the right background, the right education, incredible luck,…” and a lot more along these lines. There is no doubt in people’s heads that  these are the dominant criteria for having achieved success, “luck” . Statements like these scream “ENVY” even though nobody will own up it! Attitude is a word never considered by the man in the street who spends his time in spreading gossip.

Let us investigate into this topic. What needs to be done to achieve extraordinary success:

• You need to have the mindset for success
• A written goal and dream
• A definite plan – and
• You need to take massive action

Mindset

What’s mindset to do with success? Unless your thought centers around success nothing will happen. It is our subconscious mind which has a major part in what we manifest. Yet as Napoleon Hill says, the subconscious is dumb it accepts whatever is fed to it, no matter if positive, sad, negative or whatever. It is surprising! Mostly when people meet up with negative stuff they get heated and emotional about it and it is emotion which conditions thoughts that they are readily accepted by the subconscious. No wonder that so few people manifest wealth.

To be able to manifest wealth you have to program the subconscious with  thoughts about wealth and they have to be charged with emotion to make the subconscious understand. In a world where negativity prevails this wealth programming of the subconscious is a task which has to be performed on a regular basis with the necessary emotion and faith attached to it. Only perseverance in this topic will create the required results.

Written Goal and Dream

To be able to program the subconscious well,  a written goal and dream is essential support. It keeps you focused on the regular task of programming the subconscious. Manifestation takes time so this focus is a needed tool.

Definite Plan

When we keep working with our subconscious the means how we can achieve our goal and dream will pop up and we need to implement it into our definite plan. If you don’t pay attention to the input of your “gut feeling” you may miss out on information given to you by the infinite intelligence and your manifestation may not happen or happen at a later stage after you have mastered this step.

Massive Action

It is a well know truth – it is not enough to know we need to do it – to implement what we have learned!

Most people are totally unawares of these mental laws which explains why they don’t succeed or only on a moderate scale yet some have understood these laws and succeed at an astounding rate.

In every single business you will benefit greatly when you take this to heart and particularly if you want to build  a successful MLM business.  It is a necessity! Connect with people who understand these principles and help you apply them. I want to extend my gratitude to Michael Dlouhy who teaches these principles in an excellent way.

Right – you love MLM and you know you can do it.  You screen the industry to find what you are looking for. At this stage you  for sure need to make it a point to know who your upline will be. Let me tell you a story to show you why:

There was this lady in a network marketing company. She was the first woman in this company who built her business quickly – so fast, that she reached the first rank of the commission plan in only 4 months.

This excellent performance made her upline jealous and jealousy breeds envy. Unfortunately, like many others in this industry, she did NOT bother to read the company Policies & Procedures. How terrible having neglected it!

It is a necessity that you carefully read the Policies & Procedures BEFORE you ever join a company. This may not be easy as, at times, you don’t find them before you sign up! Request them!

So when this lady joined the company,  she told them that her fiancée was building another MLM business. There was no comment, but guess what? In the Policies & Procedures of this specific company it was stated explicitly, that you were not allowed to make any money from another network marketing company – not even an affiliate program! If you violated this provision, you can be terminated. And what’s worse -  these restrictions applied to everyone living in YOUR household!

If you ask me this is worse than being an employee! As an independent business partner, how can anyone put you under limitations like that?

Being happily unawares, this lady build to the top of the commission plan. She was was highly motivated as everything went so well. Her pending bonus check was $7,000 as a reward for reaching the top rank in the commission plan  and what’s more, she was the first woman to have done it!

Suddenly she found her web-site turned off, everything closed down, without even getting a notice from her company.

She had not considered her upline! She was informed by her upline that she had been terminated as her fiancée was building that other business. Now, she had told the company that they weren’t married and that he was building that other business! –          So what you need to watch out for – any modification in a signed agreement requires the written consent of the issuing party! Otherwise the information given is only “hot air”.             It had nothing to do with her and her work it was simply the loop hole to get her out, to not pay her what she had earned!

Having not read them, she wasn’t aware that the company was viewing two people to be one and the same for the sheer fact that they were living in the same household and  that this was laid down in the Policies & Procedures.

But how come the company knew this??

Very unlikely that the company would ever find out unless someone [the upline??] told them? Well who would!– Since she was terminated the entire organisation and the income rolled up – what a coincidence!

The upline didn’t have that kind of success and now – well, no need to any more!

I know a number of network marketers who have lost everything, because they never read their Policies & Procedures. No surprise I strongly advise you to go to your company website at once, and read your Policies & Procedures! It may be an “AHA” moment for you!

What happened when you joined your company? Did you check a box by which you accepted the Policies & Procedures? But did you actually read them – …?

There is another common trap – people think, "Well, everybody I know is violating this rule – seems the company must not care." Believe me, you can violate any rule as long as you’re not making any money. Only once you start getting a significant paycheck, the day has come when it’s worthwhile for an ill-meaning upline – or even your company – to terminate you for violation of your Policies & Procedures.

Go and find your Policies & Procedures and see what YOU are in for – Do It NOW!
