“Insane Productivity”

It appears to be insane to use this expression for extremely high productivity – a real joke!

It is obvious that  to achieve high success in network marketing today you are looking out for strategies that let you explode your productivity.

You will say at once that it is leverage that creates this productivity in a network marketing business. This is true, but you need to get there in the first place.

Leverage is the result of effort accumulated over time. A new network marketing business doesn’t start with success on day one, nor does any other business in fact. You need to do all the diligent homework you do in any other business and then  get it going through persistence, personal development and nurturing team work.

In this process there are a number of things which may help you on the way:

• Be peaceful within. High productivity needs work, no doubt, but you also need peace of mind and a relaxed approach. Love what you are doing and be focused. When you love what you are doing you will be able to see things in a positive light so that everything will flow freely.
• Take action. There is no productivity without action! It is not enough to plan to climb the Mt.Everest – you need to go there and actually do it!.
• Get organized. You need to have a clean workplace. Don’t push  things off and work without delays. There are some people who have the strange idea that anyone who is tidy is only too lazy to put in a good search – I think investing that search time into work will get you a lot further.
• Be proactive. Let your creativity kick in – it may even help you to get things done a lot quicker than anticipated.
• Do what you love or love what you do. In any work schedule there will be things you really like and others which you don’t really like that much – do them with a good mood nevertheless it will minimize procrastination. With practice you may get over this dislike.  Let work be your passion and it will be easy.
• Communicate with nature. We are part of nature and cannot be detached from it. Food, water air and all around us are part of nature. Blending with nature will set your mind at rest and the better you manage it on all levels the healthier you are likely to be – this again increases your  productivity. Your success in your network marketing business will  benefit greatly – especially if your products are in tune with a natural aspect – like healthy food, or whatever.

Implementing these thoughts into your life-style and business building activities you will be an excellent role model for your network marketing team and you will attract awesome people as business partners.

The result will be incredible leverage and a rate of success in your network marketing business you can now only dream of

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.

Duplication – the magic word in network marketing today.

What is duplication – it is copying what others do successfully.

Duplication has to be simple, however, the steps that are repeated have to be valid and they have to work.

Not everybody who starts building a network marketing business is capable of speaking with other people as a matter of routine. For many this part of the business is pure stress. Mind you eventually everyone learns it, but this is part of the personal development that happens when you do this business on a constant basis.

Let’s look at duplication – what are the questions a prospect may ask:

1. Can I do this?
2. Can I make money doing this?
3. Can you help me?

To  have a positive reply to the first point the system that is used has to be simple. Your prospect needs to realise that he will be able to do it very well.

I use the book “Success in 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy – I let people read it. Most people can imagine themselves doing this – giving somebody a book to read.

Reading the book and  going through the following steps of the training people learn what to look for in a company so that they will be making money.

Once prospects have gone through the basics of this system they have no doubt that they are getting valid help.

If you can offer People such a simple system, network marketing suddenly becomes attractive. Struggles they had before appear in the right light. People realise that their lack of success was not their fault, but that they simply lacked training and a system to follow. Once they have both success in network marketing is attainable.

The old rule

Keep It Simple

has not lost it’s validity or its attractiveness.

                                                                                                 Oh NO!!

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!

Pillars have become a symbol for long-term strength and stability.

Therefore it is no surprise that the 5 pillars have become a representation of value for a network company today.

I have given a general overview about "A Solid Company", listing the 5 pillars, in a previous blog so let’s this time go into a bit more details what the 5 pillars are all about when it comes to success in network marketing today. Mind you for in-depth training on this topic you will have to go through our training.

Let’s discuss the first pillar here:

Company Management:

There is no doubt that the management of a company is a really important point – however, what do you have to look for in a company management?

Well, most important of all: does the company management have personal experience building their own networking organization and have they done it with integrity?

Why is this so important? I give you a picture: “Would you ask a lawyer to fix the brakes of your car?” – No – the lawyer is a highly trained expert and should know what he is doing? No? You’d never? Why are you against this idea? Of course the lawyer is an expert in legal matters and not in car repair! Can you see my point? In very much the same manner you need experts at network marketing run a network marketing company today.

Having made this basic requirement clear, let’s investigate “have they done it with integrity”?

Search Google for the owners of the company and see who they are, what their “story” is. Look back in their lives and you might even want to add the word ‘Scam’ to your search. The level of integrity is the goal of this search, and of course if they have personal experience at building a network marketing organisation from scratch.

The legal background, your policies and procedures also goes into this investigation with many topics, the overall one being – does the contact protect you or the company?

Another hot context in the basic legal set-up of a network marketing company is:

”If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favor of the Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors”.

There is lots of legal language involved in this investigation and you might want support in investigating this topic – this blog is simply to alert you about this topic.

Connect if you need this kind of support – that’s part of our free training.

We have your success at network marketing at heart!

Stay tuned for the second pillar.

Today’s world is a lot different from what it was only 20 years back. There is no doubt that the methods employed for building a network marketing business have changed drastically. Old ways like making a list of friends and family are no longer functional – not that they necessarily worked well in those days,but as it was before the days of the internet options were different and one had to make do with whatever was possible.

However, one thing has not changed: If you want to build a solid and long term business which is to pay you as well as your children and grandchildren you  have to make a decision. A clear and definite decision. A life-changing decision.

There is no such thing as being married to 10 spouses or to travel to a dozen places in one and the same time, to quote just 2 drastic examples.

The same applies to business. You have to be all in. No if and when, No try, may-be or whatever in that line.

Once you have made a decision, a decision as to with whom you want to build and what size of business you want to achieve, universe will give you the support you need by way of the law of attraction.

Simply imagine – there is someone waiting who will give you service and perform for you by  fulfilling whichever wish you hand out. However, you flood this person with a dozen of contradictory requests at the same time. Imagine what will happen – that person will stay put and wait till you make up your mind what you actually want.

This is exactly what happens with universe!

Therefore – make up your mind, pass a decision and then develop your plan of action in accordance with your decision. You will be surprised how much smoother everything works out.

Building a network marketing business there are a few things which scream “scam” – yet they need to be understood.

• The worst technique you can ever use for building your business is to create fear of loss. It tops everything else in business development. Sure, it does works. It does get people in. But your business will be totally wrong to begin with. You are attracting the type of people none of whom will ever work.
• Next there are many companies that do a powerline, a binary or a matrix. As a rule their focus is on promoting spillover. Of course there are actually people who have got spillover, no doubt. BUT – the people that “arrived” as spillover never ever worked. Why’s that?

That’s an easy one: The promise of "spillover" creates a welfare mentality! There are bunches of people out there who are looking to get something for nothing. That’s the kind people you attract when you tell them: "Get in NOW, and you are going to get spillover!"

They are triggered by the fear of “losing something for nothing”.

So they get in right away and then they sit like cats, keeping quiet watching for the mice, waiting patiently for that spillover that’s going to make them rich.

What a great Business Plan!

The same happens when joining a binary because you are offered a position that already has a million Dollar volume in one leg. Fact is you don’t get paid unless you build the weak leg. But people with a lottery mentality will jump for such a position", they join – but never do anything, and never earn a dime.

Be aware of the words, powerline and spillover. Whenever you see them you know their purpose is to promote welfare mentality. Something for nothing, something for nothing, something for nothing…

Fact is, YOU are in Net-“Work” Marketing. Net-“Work” Marketing is a business and it takes WORK – net-WORK marketing, not net-free marketing, right?  It’s not net-spillover marketing nor is it net-zero marketing. The topic is WORK! A "something for nothing" mindset will not work. Period.

You’d be like giving a bunch of couch potatoes welfare aid directly to their account. It lets them stay on the couch, drink their beer and watch a football game. No problem.

Those Two Words Are A Hot Tip!

When you hear them from a company or from a distributor – that’s not the company or person to build your life on long-term. They will not be successful. Move on and keep on looking. There are lots of good companies & network marketers out there. You will for sure find the right mentor.

What is your present situation? Are you having the success you have always dreamed of? NO? Well very likely it is not your fault.

What are you being taught by your upline or even the company – does it sound like:

• make a list of family and friends
• go back in your life to make the list bigger and add
• class mates,
• fellow workers
• the postman, the milkman and the neighbor’s cat….

If your training looks roughly like that I suggest RUN! This is network marketing as it was done 25 years back or longer, way before the internet.

In Modern MLM there is no need to do any of this. Keep your family and friends. It can’t be fun to see them avoid you only because you have confronted them with your business “umpteen” times.

There is no doubt – not everybody will do everything. That’s good. After all we do need teachers, nurses, bus drivers, lawyers, to name only a few – if they all would be network marketers where would our society be?

The solution is to look out for people who have already expressed an interest in network marketing. See that you connect with them, that you build a relationship, best by learning together how to succeed in a dedicated mastermind group.

Learning in a team builds relationships and some of the people you met and bonded with will be happy to join you also in your business and for the others be happy that the work you did together let them succeed in what they are already doing.

You will say that this sounds easy – well it is in a way, but  you need to learn the skill required to act respectfully on the internet so that you will connect with the people you want. And of course  communication skills and personal development will play a part in the process.

Network Marketing as life is a trip. Very much the same way as you climb a mountain where you get higher up with every single step you take, the steps you take in this business will get you on. And as in the mountains you will run in to level spaces where you take steps but you don’t rise up – in the business these are periods of personal growth. Once you have developed to the next level also your business will get moving again.

You like the idea of modern MLM? Well, you are welcome to be in touch to be guided to a training platform which meets this standard!

The other day I read a sentence  which struck me:

"You cannot sit on the road to success for if you do, you will get runover"   Anonymous

This is so true, especially when it comes to MLM. You only need to go  and surf the internet and you will quickly realize that this industry is full of hype. Advertising business opportunities where you get not only something, but “all” for nothing – people claiming that they will build your downline if you only sign up. This is weird – just look at the law of attraction in this context – somebody just singing up expecting to have his downline built – doesn’t this equal “sitting on the road to success”?? It is the kind of situation where lazy bodies “road sitters” are attracted and they sit pretty fat if you ask me!

It seems hard to believe that there are people who actually buy into all these offers and of course as a result the internet is brimming full with people who never ever have success in their network marketing business. First they started it with the wrong attitude of expecting something for nothing and second nobody ever told them what to do instead – it really is a situation of “having been run over”.

It is about time that we wake up when surfing the internet. All the parameters have to be applied to an opportunity on the internet which we would no doubt apply when looking for a business offline in “the real world”.

Of course we will read the contract there so that we know what to expect. First we need to know what kind of work we are expected to perform, at which level, which qualifications are required, what the boss will expect from us so that he will keep us on.

And most certainly we will want to know what we will be paid for the work we are supposed to do.

Very likely if we don’t know the company  we will also make some inquiries if they are decent people so that we can expect a job without extra risk.

If only these 3 parameters would be taken into account when looking for a business on the internet far less trouble would arise. Yet on the internet and in particular when it is MLM which is the topic, most people seem to have a magic switch which stops them from thinking straight – what’s more, quite a number of people when questioned regarding these three points will be top lofty and consider you negative and that for the simple reason of suggesting they apply common sense! Isn’t it absurd?

When you have decided that you want to look for a network marketing business the best you can do is to get yourself educated well right from start. This will save you years of failure and frustration.

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.
