What is your definition of freedom?

Give me your feedback!

Mine is to  be able to do:

  •    What I want to do,
  •    When I want to do it and
  •    Without monetary limits.

It may seem like having the focus on money only – certainly not! However so many worthy things in life can only be effected with adequate funds.

Look at health:

Yes I understand what you mean – good health cannot be bought by money. I agree -  not in the direct understanding. However, enough money does have a direct connection with health.

If you can buy excellent food, supplements, spa recreation, long holidays, etc. because you can afford it you are far more likely to maintain your good health for a very long time.

Being free of worry is another topic when it comes to good health.

  • Worry is inclined to make people sick over time.
  • Worry of not knowing how to pay your bills,
  • Worry of loosing your job,
  • Worry of being overworked to make it all happen,
    to list but a few.

Network marketing today is designed to give you a chance for freedom.

  • Does it happen on auto-pilot? NO.
  • Does it happen with just anything? NO.
  • Does it happen in total ignorance? NO.

To gain your freedom by building a network marketing business today you will have to get educated – not by the company you might have fallen love with, but in a generic manner so that you will learn all the MUSTs and NOs of the industry.

There is too much out that will not serve you. There are too many out who will only look after their own gain, whereas the basis for true success is:

You need to give before you take.

This is a paradigm which many find hard in today’s world where everything is supposed to “happen right now”.

Building a network marketing business is very much like cultivating plants:

You need to sew, then water the seeds so that they eventually will germinate and then you have to nourish the tender seedling so that they can grow and gain strength.

If you subject them to a hailstorm or to power hosing you’ll not like be in for a harvest. Let this be your directive when you are looking at how to build a long-term lasting network marketing business.

Look to find the right seeds and follow the process.

The results will be so rewarding that you will never be sorry you did what you did. Be prepared to meet up with some “bad weather “in the process and like you would cover up tender plants resort to connect with your mastermind team to get protection, support and encouragement.,

“The Secret” Success Story

Author: FriekeKarlovits

image

As early as 1937 Napoleon Hill wrote his “Think and Grow Rich”. It contains everything you need for creating success in life and business.

The title link leads you to the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

This topic was laid down even before then and many times afterwards, the most famous right now being “The Secret” which has become a world wide best seller.

So why is it with all that evidence of knowledge laid down in writing that there are still so many struggling to achieve success?

To be able to accept information laid down in books you need to take a close look at yourself. Everyone has received a basic programming when growing up. Most of it happened without conscious application of knowledge but just as a matter of habit, culture and environment.

We consider our basic programming “normal” and very often look at others who received a different kind of programming as “not normal”. It very likely is this fact that makes it so hard to start a process of “re-programming” in order to eventually change our lives. The basis is that we finally reach the conclusion that the programming we received does not serve us, that is stops us from where we want to go.

It is in the industry of network marketing today that these facts show up drastically.

Anyone who had success in a normal job and is starting a network marketing business has a hard time accepting that the same amount of dedicated work as was done in the job gives no to low results in building a network marketing business.

Many simply “run” and conclude that this industry simple is nothing for them. However, this is not true. It is in MLM where the “Law of Attraction” comes in fully. You achieve that which is in tune with your mindset. If you are not money minded, for instance, money will elude you. There is this observation that it is those who win who already have a lot – of course – it is law of attraction: like meets like!

To achieve long-term success in network marketing today personal development is a MUST. In order to achieve more you have to become more.

Personal development may be a lot easier if you join a mastermind group of like minded people and follow the process.

In the one I love we study Think and Grow Rich on a weekly basis. If you decide to join in and do your scheduled contributions and exercises week after week you will be surprised how much you grow in a comparatively short time. It helps  you with re-programming your mind, getting rid of outdated thought patterns which no longer serve you and integrate thoughts which will attract success – in private life as well as in business.

Doing this on a regular basis together with the training you receive in mentoring for free you will be heading for outstanding success and even be able to leave a legacy for your family.

Linear Versus Recurring Income

Author: FriekeKarlovits

image

Do you actually know the definition of a recurring income?

A linear income  resembles bills which you pay once and they are done. Buy a dress, buy a meal, see a movie, things you do once at a time – they are linear expenses.

There are also recurring expenses:                 your utilities bills, your telephone bill, various insurances -                                                       amounts you keep paying again and again on a monthly basis.

In  most professions – teachers, doctors, lawyers, or in fact any other – you are exchanging time for money.  You teach, treat a person, set up a contract. When you stop working, your income stops – you have a "linear income".

  • However, if you write a book (preferably a best seller) or make a CD which will sell well or you purchase stocks to save up for your retirement your income structure is different. For each book or CD that is being sold you earn a certain amount money – month after month and year after year.
  • For a good investment you will receive dividends in much the same manner. This is a so-called "recurring" income:  you receive it for something you have done once and it goes on and on.

When you create a recurring income you can actually live the life style of the rich without having to become a millionaire first.

If you apply what you learn from Mentoring For Free in your network marketing business today you will get there.
In life, you will only ever get paid for what you DO and not for what your KNOW, but of course you have to learn: "what" to do and and "how" to do it right, before you will be paid for doing it successfully.

Would you prefer to have heart surgery done by a surgeon or by a student? No? Well why should it be different when it comes to success in network marketing?

  • A recurring income solution for a teacher might be receiving a small percentage of each student’s income after they leave school and start working, and for as long as the student works.

Crunch the numbers to see how much you would have to have to save up to be able to have a recurring income of 10 000 Dollars from interests on your account. Right now this is an interesting question  – a life time of savings would not be enough!

When you start a network marketing business you will soon be having some extra income.  As your team grows also the checks will grow. If you are wise and use that extra money to pay off your debts first, you will be debt free by the time your recurring income reaches 10 000 Dollars a month and that will already do nicely for a good life style.
It is an excellent way to create wealth – you likely do not know many people who will be able to achieve that kind of income from their interests.

Provided you are coachable and you really want to KNOW you can build that kind of income in network marketing in 2 – 10 years.

Smart work – there is no doubt that we have to be dedicated to whatever we do. However the old perception that hard work is giving you the income you dream of has not proved valid. Just look around you how many people are working hard and try to even work harder – it is the rare person who will make an excellent income that way.

It is the concept of “work smarter not harder” that creates success stories. A very recent example is the creator of facebook. It was an idea and of course the guys dedicated their time and effort – but it was the idea which actually was the key factor.

There is no doubt – as an employee you cannot make the kind of money as you can make when you run your own business. Why? It is very obvious. Those who employ you use your work force to make money themselves and a small share of it is your wages! They are the ones who have had the idea, who have had the courage and the gut to create a business. They for sure have a vision why they are doing it.

Do they need all the specialised knowledge that is required in their business? Nope – all they need to know is where they can “hire” or “buy” it. They hire people like you and many others who are hanging out and waiting to get a JOB [Just Over Broke]. People who have the false illusion that a job breathes security.

Where is this security? Would you mind explaining it to me?

——————-

  • If you come to the conclusion that it is time to start working smarter instead of harder there is one thing you need to bear in mind: After having created your vision of where you want to go in life make sure you get educated. Especially if you intend starting a business online. You do not have a formal education that will meet the requirements for such a business!
  • No matter what you intend to do – you will need marketing and you will have to learn to do it in the state-of-the-art way. But you may also want to learn which kind of business will be the right vehicle to let you realise your vision – your dream. Make sure you avoid the pitfalls which are around on the internet.
  • You certainly better not build a business which keeps you tied down to working constantly day after day so that success is permanent. You need a business where you can duplicate your efforts instead of exchanging time for money.

The concept of network marketing today is for sure one of the very big chances to make it in business online. To have success and to have the time after a certain period of growth, the time that will permit you to live a life you now probably can only dream of.

Make sure you start working smarter not harder – get informed.

 Are You All In?

imageTrust and belief – I guess it is unusual to connect them with business, however, in businesses where teamwork is the focus of activities, trust and belief are necessities. Artists, who work high  up somewhere, are a very good example of absolute trust and belief in each other!

There are several levels to it. When you look at a network marketing company you need to ask yourself, “do I have trust in the company”? Are they having my best wellbeing at heart as they understand we, that is the distributor and the company depend on each other, as one cannot do without the other.

  • There are companies out there who use their distributors as donkeys – they let them work till the company is well off and then they are happy to dispense with some of the top earners in order to put the money they’d have to pay out into their own pocket.
  • On the other hand there are companies out there who are very much aware of this team aspect between distributors and the company and they treat their “field” well. They know about the value of your performance and they cherish you for it and see that you are thriving.

The second level of trust is your trust and belief in the team you signed up with. Are they aware that their network marketing organization is as strong as the weakest limb or are they only looking for heavy hitters and don’t care about the “normal you and me” who build success in network marketing the slow pace – slow but solid.

Do They give you the support and the friendship you need to be your best? If so, great!

The third and probably the governing of all levels is – do you have trust and belief in yourself. You need to grow as a person until you solidly believe in yourself, in who you are, in your capacity to build this network marketing business successful..

You trust and believe that any challenges which come your way are designed to make you grow as a person. You have it in you to be that person who is an incredible leader, who helps others over the stumbling stones to success in network marketing today! You deserve happiness and success – it is your destiny.

Work to become who you really are and you you need to be to be this amazing leader in your life and business!

Are you among the 90+% of people who hate selling? And what’s more – do you even hate to be sold?

I can perfectly understand you – I am just the same!

For this very reason network marketing today is THE business opportunity for you.

Yes – it is THE business opportunity for YOU!

There is this totally wrong idea that has been roaming the business world for 40+ years by now, that network marketing is sales. It is NOT.

Of course you are right – every honest network marketing  business had products. This is where the money is coming, no doubt. BUT – do you ever buy what you need? Do you buy your groceries, your clothes, cosmetics – what ever else you may be needing? Sure, yes! So your network marketing business is another channel for your to buy products you want to buy. Right.

Does it ever happen that your mom, your friend, your spouse, even your neighbour asks you to kindly do some shopping for them since you are already going out and they are in a hurry, are sick or are having a hard time getting there? Yes? Do you oblige? So – if YOU want what you buy from your network marketing company – would you be willing to let them have it too? I am sure you agree!

So that’s what network marketing is all about – you buy what you want and let some who you interact with also have your product.

You are bewildered? You have heard that you can make a full-time income in network marketing today and even more – this didn’t sound like it….

The big and the much more vital part of network marketing is showing people that they can do the same you do! It means giving others a chance. This is how you create many many consumers for your network marketing company – they don’t  have to spend on advertising and stuff, but instead pay you for your recommendation – isn’t that neat?

It is a win- win – win situation – you win because you have products you want and you earn money – the people you recommend it to also have the joy of buying what they want and to earn money – the company has dedicated customers and need not worry about advertising and pays those who help creating turnover.

It is such an easy concept yet humans have managed to complicate it. Doesn’t matter – once you understand you will happily learn the skills you require to do all that is involved if you want to do this business on a business scale and you will grow immensely personally as a result of learning how to interact with more and more people, showing them how to own their lives by building a profitable network marketing business today.

I’ll be glad to show you the way!

History of Network Marketing – Part I

Author: FriekeKarlovits

Would you believe it – network marketing is 60+ years old! Isn’t it surprising that so many people still consider it as “this new thing which seems to be a pyramid”?

It just shows how long it takes till something sinks into the mind of a society. many people stick to their habits and thought patterns without discrimination if they still serve them or not. For all of those who have been in the industry longer this picture collection will match with memories – good ones or other.

image

Let me go through a fast motion  re-view of the business model of network marketing until we arrive at network marketing today.

Basic idea:

  • connect a producer and the customers  with less/no steps in between.
  • let the money go to active consumers rather than to advertising, trade partners, etc
  • people have been giving referrals all their lives – use this capacity to create and income, to build a network marketing business
  • company benefit – more money for research, as a result better products, press pressure
  • customer benefit – people they know can answer their questions and provide service to them

All these points are valid and valuable. So why has this fantastic concept of network marketing still not conquered the market as the dominant way of moving products?

Stay tuned – we will talk about it!

Today network marketing is an excellent chance to make money online. Once you focus, learn the required skills, take control of the work you do in a collaborative team you should be able to achieve your desired goal.

You agree? – Well , why do you think statistics tell us another story?

Signing up  for a network marketing business – no matter if online or on paper – what you are required to check-mark the policies and procedures as accepted. Everybody does so. However only a very small percentage of all people ever read them in the first place and of those who read them quite a number don’t fully understand them and accept them as “legal  talk that is required”. It is a fact, however, that it is the contents of these policies and procedures which lets many people fail in network marketing.

There are all sorts of tricky clauses which are not taken serious in the process. People miss the awareness that these clauses are contained to be used and they will be the victim. I want to give you a few examples:

  • Renewal: There are companies who claim they need it to be able to get rid of the “black sheep among the distributors – hm…
  • Termination clauses: for the most varied reasons – mind you – as a rule these are applied once you start earning more money – when you are terminated then it saves the company a lot of money!
  • Your Spouse is forbidden to have another business – it is enacted by companies but it is not within human rights to forbid a spouse to  have another business of their own – it is – hm -  like “slavery”.
  • A great number of subtle “hoops” not easy to see or find

The above list is are hints and it is by far not complete. To really know what you are  in for you might need help to analyze.

I do hope you are now aware of the importance of policies and procedures and you will make sure you investigate them thoroughly so that you will not be in for a major surprise at some stage of your career.

If you have not had the success you dream of so far this might be one of the things you need to look into – in most cases your lack of success is not your fault.

To have a healthy business with  long-term stability, where teamwork, flexibility, respect, collaboration, both within the team and with the company are part of the everyday business culture you need to know that you have a good balance on all levels of the business you are working.

You are right – a commission plan is a normal feature in MLM.

Unfortunately too many people don’t ever take the time to investigate the commission plan in detail nor in fact their policies and procedures. Both of these items are equally critical when it comes to securing success – none can be given priority – it’s kind of a question “who comes first the egg or the hen”. therefore let’s simply  discuss commission plans today.

  • The very first question for you to ask is:  “What do I have to do to earn my first money”. If the answer to this question is jumping through hoops and finding a number of people – RUN
  • Next: “Which qualification do I have to meet to stay qualified for commissions”. So if you have to do more than just a certain personal sales, like having to sponsor one two or more, or even if the required personal sales is too high – RUN
  • Another critical point is that in some plans personal requirements increase with increasing income – that is where I ask you – how will you ever be able to retire on such a plan? Some people tell me they simply throw away the products they need to buy – this seems an awful waste if you ask me. But often you also need to sponsor people in the process. Say you have built a fair income and now you want to go on a 3 months’ cruise with your family – how will you do this if you have to sponsor, e.g., a couple of people per month to be eligible for commission. Might be an idea to RUN before you get into this tight spot!
  • How about this one: You need to prove that you are an active coaching and training partner for your team on an ongoing basis…

An these are just a few examples of what you may encounter when you study your commission plan.

A good question to ask yourself or rather whoever wants to sponsor you into a business is: “How many people do I need for a 10K residual income” – and watch out – this doesn’t comprises bonuses which as a rule are one time payments!

I hope this gets you thinking about the topic! If you need help to analyze the commission plan you are in, simply be in touch – we gladly will help you for free.

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!

Who Refuses Opportunity?

Author: FriekeKarlovits

Tor SantaFe

 

Some people are so focused on looking at the closed door that they don’t see others opening for them!

 

Have you ever met people and talked to them about what you are doing? Have you found out that they were actually hoping to earn more money to get bye more easily? And yet to your surprise they have said NO?

This happens when people come from a position of lack. They have a belief system which doesn’t permit them to “deserve” more so they say no, or perhaps they even have just a bunch of excuses – yet excuses are a way to say no. This is a matter of experience – they do not even dare to say no as excuses are a way of making things look better for themselves as they just said before, that they would actually want more money. By way of excuses they convince themselves that there are enough reasons not to be able to do whatever you offered them.

As Tom Schreiter says: It wouldn’t be “no” for rich people. They don’t refuse opportunity. They are not programmed to look for the reasons why something won’t work. They are conditioned to look for reasons why something can work. There are always hundreds of reasons why an opportunity will not work, but also hundreds of reasons why the opportunity will work. It is your choice where you put your focus on.

In our society many people are conditioned for lack for one reason or other. To help overcome this handicap you can join a mastermind group which will help you overcome this obstacle. Studying and discussing a personal programming which is an obstacle together with like minded people is the best way of re-writing your program. This is a secure way to achieve success! Mastermind Group

Which way are you programmed? Find out and get going on owning your life!

Got An Honest Upline?

Author: FriekeKarlovits

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!

This knowledge is available by curtsey of Michael Dlouhy -  thank you, Michael!

Personality Colors and Communication

Author: FriekeKarlovits

Communication is one of the vital factors of life and as such lots and lots is being written about it. There is a simple test to this fact – simply enter the word communication as a search word into Google and you will see the massive result!

Communication accompanies us from out first to our last breath. As a new born baby we communicate through sound – we cry when hungry or uncomfortable. Quickly the sound pattern becomes bigger and more diversified it is complemented by gesture until language comes in. Some aspects of communication are inherent and some are trained by example. It is this basic structure which remains in use for life even though it becomes more and more complex and involved.

Communication is the basis for interaction with others. At school, when getting trained for a job, at university, but also in private life, in the family, with relations, friends and people we simply happen to meet up. Yet communication is never trained systematically unless you are interacting professionally one way or other.

Communication as a result very often lacks sophistication. One aspect to which I want to draw attention today are the personality colours. Knowing about this facilitates communication on all levels.

Everyone knows that there are all sorts of people – quiet ones, loud ones, ones which socialize easily others who are shy. Looking at people from the point of view of personality colors is not so widely known and yet it proves so helpful.

Basically people can be split into open or self contained and indirect and direct. The 4 personality colours are yellow, blue, green and red. Yellows are open and indirect, blues open and direct, greens self contained and indirect and reds self contained and direct. This may sound a little complex but it can be cleared up easily in a training which offers also charts or description of charts.

Let me give you an example: Take a yellow person – as a rule they are nurses, teachers, helpers of any kind, in families they are the peacemakers. They will speak about their helping intentions but when asked a direct question, like “do you have children” they will be very short “yes”. Whereas a blue person will say “yes” and start telling you all the details of the beloved ones – blue ones are direct, remember?

This is a very short example of a personality color – each colour has specific characteristic and when you mind these in conversation and contact you can customize the information you hand out. another example give a red person, who is direct and self contained and very interested in money a detailed description of a business, tool or whatever they will run. The only thing that would interest them would be – how much money can I make respectively what’s it for.

Communication by customizing information to the type of personality you are dealing with is a definite advantage in personal as well as business life and especially in a business as Network Marketing, where the topic is building people.
