Happiness in Network Marketing – Hm

When we are building a business we are spending a lot of time on it.

Either we are still in a 9 – 5 job and build the business in our free time, which is a challenge in itself, as it takes excellent time management and dedication to do what is required, or we are doing it full time. Doing network marketing full time it is all the more important that you are happy with what you are doing.

Even without speaking a single work your basic attitude is transmitted to the people you speak to. They will pick up  your mindset. Happy people have something special around them and as a rule they attract people like magnets. Everyone wants to brush off such a mindset and feel a bit of that happiness.

• Considering these basics it is not a big surprise that building a network marketing business today will be a lot easier when you are happy with what you are doing.
• The law of attraction will kick in and  your team will be reflecting your mindset.

Do you think this makes sense? Yes?

So make sure that you work on your mindset and join a mastermind group where the main focus is personal development and  cleansing of the mind from old patterns and programming which is of no more value to us.

As in all our training – there is no charge, yet it takes your effort and dedication to work through the provided material and to participate on an ongoing basis.

To Your Happy Success

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.

To Your Success

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.

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!

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!

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

A lot has been written on this subject,  how to achieve your goals. At first sight it seems simple, yet once you start working with people you are in for a big surprise.

When I first started to talk to people I naively asked them about their goals and found in many cases a total blank. Goals? What’s that, should I have some, I thought this is about football and many other surprising replies. It is surprising how many people get depleted by life and their surroundings that they forget it all, as children usually know very well what they want in life and from life.

So the first step needs to be to open up a perception for this kind of approach. A conversation about dreams or what they might do if money was no issue in life as a rules creates a willingness to start thinking about this topic. This is an intermediate goal in itself. A first step of bringing someone back to life! With increasing willingness vision or dream workshops are a good way to proceed.

Part of this process is creating the awareness that “loving oneself” is not an expression of ego, but a necessity and basis for a fulfilled life as well as a foundation of being prepared to work on goals and eventually set them and go for them.

An excellent support in this process is the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill which was already written in 1937, yet which is very useful reading and learning even today. Napoleon Hill gives very precise instructions as to how to proceed with personal development, setting of goals and much more.

Although I have been doing a lot about personal development for years I find that working through this book within a mastermind group is a challenge and opens yet other perspectives and doors.  In fact Napoleon Hill talks and explains a lot about the value of a mastermind group and it is fascinating to see it happen in practice.

Once the goals are set and charged in the right way drawing them to life is a natural consequence. It can be compared to building a house – if the planning is perfect the actual building is work, but the outcome is set.
