Are Your Wealth Beliefs Sabotaging Your Network Marketing Success?
"What do you want earn a year?" the business analyst was asking me. In an overview looking at where we were headed and what we wanted to do I was not quite expecting this and had to think hard for a few minutes.
And looking back at my reply I am not altogether happy with the one I gave. I mean, how much is enough, or what is a right answer? Certainly my response gave some keys to what I was thinking.
And if there was no limit to what you could earn, what would your answer be? How can this be you ask? How could there be no limit to what I could earn? In those questions lies the rub. Here we look into our own preconceptions about the universe, what it is and our place in it. Do we, or have we set limits both on what is possible and what we ourselves can achieve? And does that explain where we are today?
To read people who have thoughts on this, we do box ourselves in with the boundary conditions of our thinking. And this has been a slowly cultured process for most of us. As children we tended to have these unlimited dreams. Slowly over time we are educated out of this, initially by others and then by ourselves. How?
Language
One way is in the language we were exposed to. The "we can't afford it" expression, "what do you think I am: made of money", "money doesn't grow on trees", "you have to work hard for money" etc. Most of us (surely all of us) have grown up with these expressions or a variation of them most of our lives. Heard repeatedly they tend to have the effect of becoming established truths. Soon we cannot imagine a world outsode of these confines. So we limit ourselves to them.
Modeling
What we see our parents and friends doing in relation to money also affects us. The way we were raised tends to almost put a recording inside of us. We follow these patterns that were modeled for us by those we respected and had to answer to.
For some people this was a limitation in expecting money, being able to meet the bills, or own a house, or to do so without a a struggle. Or some were raised in situations where it was either boom or bust as the parents' business went through these cycles. And we can either acquiesce to these situations and reproduce them in our own lives or rebel against them and head in the other direction. But depending on our motivation even this latter response can have either positive or negative effects.
Our Efforts
Then as we enter the workforce and begin to earn money our experience can further shape our mindset and expectations. We can find our wages fixed, or our prospects limited no matter how long we stay in the company or industry. And if we still nurse those childhood dreams what do we do? Usually we tend to lower our expectations and dreams to match our income. We are "being realistic". We have come "down to earth".
For some though there is a challenge to look for something better. Either looking at multiple jobs or entering network marketing people head off into a bright new hope. Then what happens? They find they are not succeeding. Or maybe getting to a certain level but then no further.
What is the problem? Is network marketing at fault? Is the world, or our government, or other forces keeping us down? Do they not want us to succeed?
Our Mindset
Usually the problem is us. Our mindset. The set of values, beliefs and experiences that set us down a certain path and caused us to react and live in certain ways and deliver certain outcomes. We can earn much more than our parents and yet not seem to be getting any further than they did. Is this the same for everybody? We only need to look about us to see this is not so. There are people who have come from much more deprived backgrounds than us, without the same privileges and education who can yet be much better off. Stupendously better off. Why?
These ingrained beliefs and systems keep dragging us down. Our mind, particularly our subconscious or unconscious mind, controls so many of our actions. It is the most powerful part of our mind. If it disagrees with where we say we are headed we are unlikely to get there.
Mindset Wealth Classes
We tend have levels of belief about wealth. Whether as a poor person just struggling to pay the bills. Or as a middle class person who just wants to be comfortable - this is where I fell into a trap of giving a figure for what I wanted to earn. Or you can have a rich or wealthy mentality which does not set those limits on yourself.
To see what we really believe and embrace we only need to look at where we and those around us are.
What Should We Aim At?
My question to myself is "How much could I earn?" And my answer when looked at after a night's sleep is unlimited. Why would I want to limit myself? Or, if I wanted to give a figure, why not something huge?
And if your mind is thinking "Impossible" or "Greedy" or something similar then just realize this says more about your unconscious mind's beliefs and habits than it does about me.
And is that why you, and I, are not achieving the massive level of success that is really possible in mlm. It is a highly leveraged business where we are not limited to the abilities and efforts of one or even a few. Likewise in looking at other businesses there is no need to accept a limit. How can this be? A real understanding of how we can utilize our unique gifts and bring on board others with their unique gifts will open this up for us. We can all achieve much more than we already have. The answer is in understanding our strengths, playing to these and utilizing the skills of others to achieve a level well beyond anything we have managed so far.

7 Simple Value Adding Steps to Reorders from Your Local Market Customers
Having a direct selling business (aka network marketing, mlm, affiliate marketing, etc.) can be very rewarding. But you can also lose a ton of money and even frustrate yourself if you fail to do a few simple things.
Unfortunately, most direct sellers drop the ball and end up leaving tons of potential for reorders on the table because they are not taking care of the customers they have worked hard to acquire.
The good news is you can end the frustration in your business and put yourself on a path of making more money and keep your customers coming back so they are ordering month after month after month. In this article, you will learn 7 simple steps you can take to add value to your local market customer's buying experience, so they become a customer that consistently buys products and services from you.
While these steps may seem simple, they are often overlooked by most marketers. Your key to greater growth and profits, especially long term residuals from reordering customers, is to master the consistent application of the following value adding steps. Do this and you will have a strong competitive advantage over your competition.
1. Understand Your Customer's Wants and Needs
Your prospect will buy for their reasons and not yours. They will also buy from people they know, like, and trust. These facts do not mean that you can't sell to strangers, but what it does mean is you have to get to know your prospects before they will make a commitment to become a customer.
A major mistake most marketers make when working with prospects is they fail to identify the true wants and needs of that person. The secret to reveal such information requires effective communication. This means asking the right questions and listening to what is said.
In today's economy, having a good product at a fair price is not enough. Your product also has to be best, the fastest, the nicest, and the easiest to use. There's a real market for premium products, even in a struggling economy.
Part of making your whole product a premium, which includes the physical product, you, and your service to the customer, is to make sure your product meets the wants and needs of your prospect. If it does not, do not sell it to them, not even at bargain price.
2. Do Not Compete on Price
Competing on price can kill your profits and your business. While prices should be fair, be careful not to fall into discounting your prices just to get the sale. The facts prove that if your price is too low, people wonder why you are charging that tiny amount. Low bargain bin prices often create an image of junk.
Remember that people buy from those they know, like, and trust. They will pay a fair price. The key is in your ability and skills to present value to your customer. Never price yourself so low that you cause your customer to think, "what's the catch?"
By offering a higher price, you are instantly creating less skepticism in the mind of your prospect. Now do not misunderstand what is being said here and price too high. Your price must be reasonably fair. Make sure your customer understands the uniqueness of what you offer and never compete on price. Set your price fairly and compete on a level of value. This does not mean not to provide discounts or rewards, but do not make pricing your primary competitive position in your strategy to acquiring customers.
3. Stand Behind What You Sell with a Strong Guarantee
Make sure you offer a guarantee to your customers. I see too many direct sellers sell with a clearance no return no refund policy. Having such a policy can prevent you from acquiring the customers you could have if you have a guarantee. Also make your guarantee a no-hassle policy.
Keep in mind, customers are picky and want value, meaning products and services that work as you describe they would work. Even if you were selling a plant stand, make sure the product meets your own standards on quality. And never sell junk.
When considering the guarantee you offer your customer, do not be afraid to offer a strong guarantee. As an example, in my business we publish our own how-to products for direct sellers. These products are written and produced with our company as the publisher and we stand behind our products with a strong guarantee.
We further believe that any product we sell to our customers must also carry a guarantee. When we sell books or CDs authored by others, we will offer a 180 day guarantee, even if the authors themselves offer no guarantee. We do this because we believe in what we offer and will only offer products that are high quality in content.
If you are offering a guarantee that your company does not offer, or if the guarantee is on top of what your company offers, make sure to point out that added value to your customer. This will help build trust and confidence in you. Reduce the risk in your customer's mind by offering a strong guarantee.
4. Present Your Prospect with Buying Choices
Whether you are offering a high ticket item or multiple small items, you must offer your prospects and customers options. You could offer to spread payments out into an easy payment plan, or a lower priced benefit if the product is pre-paid (i.e. a membership site that offers a lump sum that gives access for three months, six months or even a year).
Regardless of the options you offer, make sure you do not confuse or overwhelm your prospect with too many options. Keep it simple. A very simple payment option is to accept major credit cards as a form of payment.
Your sale process for acquiring new customers in your local market and for keeping those customers coming back for more is accomplished more effectively when you effectively answer their questions, squashing their fears or challenging thoughts they may come up with in their minds for not buying your product. You will not succeed by selling someone on something and then they find out they don't have the payment option they want.
5. Follow-Up and Follow-Through
Never ever, no matter what you do ignore the people that have purchased from you before. Understand that building a solid local customer base is based on relationships. To nurture these relationships, you must stay in constant contact with your customers.
You can use your follow-up time to better understand your customer's wants and needs. You can get a testimonial on their experience of using your products or even secure some referrals to expand your local market customer base. The bottom line is your customers must know you care.
6. Reward Your Customers
Customers are a great source of your residual earnings, meaning money that comes in month after month. In addition to understanding what your customers want and need, they also want to feel important. The importance of making your customers feel important will drive up your sales results. Whether through a customer priority service program or unexpected bonus rewards, it is not hard to come up with ways to reward your customers.
Never forget that it is more cost effective to get a customer to reorder or to purchase other products than it is to acquire a new customer. These people are the most important of all. They have already bought your products. This means they are more willing to spend money buying from you.
Of course, to get your local market customers coming back to buy more, they must know, like, and trust you. This is accomplished only through nurturing those customer relationships. Taking care of your customers and rewarding them will make them feel important, which nurtures the relationship, will cause them to want to continue to do business with you.
7. Invest in Your Customers and They Will Invest in You
Never be afraid of offering trials or samples. Whether free, paid, or even a reduce payment as a way to sample your products and services. This is an investment because you are often cutting into your profit.
Now do not misunderstand the use of trials and samples with what I said earlier about not competing on price. The fact is people are skeptical by nature and trials and samples allow for the prospect to become your customer in an easy low risk way.
You will want to avoid free trials unless you're aiming for lead generation. The problem with free trials is that you'll attract all sorts of freebie seekers, and I'm sure you don't want people wasting your time, taking up valuable resources and just picking something up because it's free. But in a lead generation tactic, you are exchanging value for value (your free sample for their contact information).
A critical lesson I learned many years ago was that you must give before you receive, meaning you must invest in your prospects and customers before they will invest in you. This does not always mean free samples or trail discounts; it can many times mean you investing your time to better understand your prospects and customers.
While you may have similar products and services to others in the marketplace, there is nowhere else they can get the uniqueness of you. As you develop your customer base in your local market, be sure to implement the above 7 steps for adding value. And never lose sight of the fact that you can create a massive competitive advantage in your local marketing effort by doing these things consistently.

Making A Million Before Age 20
Forbes via Business Opportunities Weblog :
While their peers were out making trouble, these young achievers were making bank.
Fraser Doherty. At 14, Doherty started making jams from his grandmother’s recipes in Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally, his customer base was limited to neighbors and friends from his church, but business picked up quickly, and by age 16, he left school to work on his jams full time. He tweaked his recipes and came up with a name for his product: Superjam. Doherty borrowed 5,000 pounds (about $9,000) from a bank to cover general expenses and more factory time to produce three flavors: Blueberry & Blackcurrant, Rhubarb & Ginger, and Cranberry & Raspberry. Last year Superjam hit $750,000 in sales and is on track to double that in 2008 (about 50,000 jars a month).
Ashley Qualls. In 2004, at age 14, Detroit native Qualls launched Whateverlife.com, conceived as a personal portfolio with pictures and graphics she created. Later she offered free MySpace layouts and tutorials for teens who want to learn how to do their own graphic designs and coding. Whateverlife.com, which Qualls owns outright, claims to nab 7 million individual visitors a month and counts Verizon Communications (nyse: VZ - news - people ) as an advertiser. In March 2006 Qualls reportedly received an offer (from an undisclosed buyer) for $1.5 million, but turned it down.

Some Reasons Why You Should Choose MLM as a Home Business Opportunity
Several people are now choosing to work at home and earn a living. They do this for one reason or another. They can work less hours, and spend more time their families. People choose different home-based business opportunities. Some people choose and are better off starting a MLM business at home.

Many average people are already working some great MLM home-based businesses opportunities. If you are not one of the average persons, now may be a good time to do some research and get started.
MLM can offer you some extra income. If you are living from paycheck to paycheck or just want to make some extra money for something you want to purchase, working into MLM may be a good choice to make. Of course, you could get a second job. This may seem to be the best solution but think about the time that you would be spending on that second job.
Getting a second job may not allow you to have that quality time with your family, and you likely would have more stress. You will have to consider your reasons for getting a second job and your need for the extra income to determine if getting a second job is really the best solution for you.
Using MLM as your chosen business opportunity, you can start working on the business as a part-time home-based business. Getting started in network marketing has become so easy that anyone can get started even if you do not have a dime to invest in the startup of your business.
Many legitimate MLM home-based business opportunities will allow you to get started for fewer than one hundred dollars. You may find some free opportunities with little or no overhead expenses. They may also offer great support from other member companies as well as the parent company.
These MLM companies will provide the system and the tools to work the business. All you are required to do is make a commitment to work, persist in your efforts to build the MLM home business opportunity. If you select a well-established company, it will offer quality consumable products or services with an excellent management team and support to their distributors.
The main thing is to get started, and make sure that you never give up. Another important key factor is your commitment to the company and its products and services. Working for a home business MLM opportunity that will help you to earn extra income means that you should be a user as well as a marketer of the products and services.
MLM is a great business opportunity for anyone who wants to start working at home. It costs almost nothing to get started, you get a proven system that would be the same as if you had purchased a franchise, and you can be making money within months.
Therefore, if you want more income while still working a regular job, you want to increase your retirement income, or whatever reason you may have, you should consider working for a home business MLM opportunity.

You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn't mean they are going to buy instantly.
Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.
Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you're business is all about.
The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don't know you.
2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.
While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.
3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.
Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.
Building a profitable opt-in list don't just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.

What's Wrong with MLM's
People are so afraid of MLM or multi-level marketing that as soon as you speak, they cringe. MLM's are marketing. When you get your hair done and someone tells you how good it looks and ask where did you get it done, that's marketing. ...

How Deep is Your Valley, How High is Your Sky?
I woke today with the words a€chow deep is your valley, how high is your skya€ infiltrating my mind, and it made me pause to truly contemplate their meaning and their significance in my life at this time.
I am in one of the valleys of my life, a journey which is giving me cause for reflection, is creating some angst, and is at the same time, giving me the privilege of truly knowing myself, my strengths, my goals, and my aspirations. Yes, indeed, it is a deep valley.
And then, as I looked through my bedroom window at the dawning of the day, I suddenly realized that I can also claim to be as high as the sky. How so?
As humans we have been given everything we need to live this earthly life by a merciful, generous, and very gracious God, but we are often so caught up in our rituals, our beliefs and our goings on that we fail to truly appreciate the gifts given.
Pause for a moment, and consider the beauty of spring, parading its colours in the many shades of the rainbow. Remember the vivid blue of the skies, which can suddenly turn to grey, and just as quickly return to blue-and compare it to our quick-silver emotions-when we are touched by the kindness of a friend, a neighbour, a family member., or when we are feeling a lack of self-confidence, a feeling of aloneness, perhaps a feeling of betrayal from an unexpected source.
If we choose to remember that sunshine always follow the rain, we can bounce back and experience the joy every moment can bring into our lives.
My thoughts then changed to thoughts of summer, and the amazing energy this season seems to bring with it. I remembered the laughter of children, the happiness of lovers totally engrossed with each other, the quiet joy of parents and grand-parents as they watched their off-spring at play, or remembered the days of their own youth, and I knew in my heart that we always have this amazing energy to carry us through any dilemma we may be experiencing. The key to breakthrough is acceptance first, and then focused energy after to bring desired results.
Autumn was the next season that flitted through my mind, and I found myself being caught up in the brilliance of the colours of this season, of the preparation the earth makes for its a�˜resting period, and I realized that we too, must go through a period of rest to re-assess, re-confirm, and re-direct our energies that will bring us to a better and more positive place in our lives, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and consciously.
And so I finally came to the season of winter, the season of rest. I paused for a bit, and wondered what this season meant to me. As I visualized the blankets of white snow as it lay on the ground, and the often grey skies above, I also remembered the starkness of the trees, stripped of their glory, but seemingly offering a prayer to the universe in thankfulness that for a while they could lay their burden down and just a�˜bea€ .
And I thought that this is what we all really need to do to lay our burdens down, trust in the process, act on our beliefs with confidence, and know that we have been given all we need to succeed in this very temporary life.
I realized then that my valley is only as deep as I choose to make it and I understood that I have been given the gifts to enable me to live my life in a manner that is as high as the sky! It is my very good pleasure to tell you that you have also been given these amazing gifts! Will you pause, assess, accept, and fully use the gifts you have been given?

Financial Freedom: Why are Corporate Executives Choosing To Be Their Own Boss?
A startling trend is emerging in the Home-Based Business world. More and more Corporate Executives are choosing to step away from a career that provided a safety net for them & their families. And for other Executives, they are no longer willing to continue to settle in life. Executives are realizing how unfulfilling it is to work for someone else, when they could be fulfilling their Dreams! They know what they want and theya€ re choosing to take control of their own Destiny by saying YES� to becoming an Entrepreneur!
Dreams Do Come True
Executives are a tired of being sick & tired of an unfulfilling job; tired of the rat race; and tired of making their boss richer, while they reach the corporate glass ceiling. Corporate Executives are no longer willing to sit on the sidelines and watch their lives pass them by. When you are working in a career that you dona€ t love, it can be very stressful & unfulfilling. However, when you are working for yourself in a Home-Based Business, you can choose a career that you love. Executives are choosing to find that passion they ve put on hold, because of life events or circumstances. And now, they re taking action to follow their Dreams and doing what they truly enjoy.
Flexible Time Freedom
One of the most obvious reasons to having your own Home-Based Business is the Freedom to do what you want, when you want! Having a daily plan of action and implementing the plan is a key factor to your success! Having a schedule while working from home allows your day to run smoothly, and gives you the flexibility to plan your days around your everyday life. You re able to schedule your day to spend more quality time with family to create a Life by Design. It s all about having a balance between your Home-Based Business and family, which is another key to your success.
Capitalize On Skills
While working in Corporate America, sometimes we dona€ t make the most of our true talents! Too often, we get into a career and wind up pushing our natural talents into the background in order to fit the limitations of our chosen career. However, when Executives start their own business, they are able to use their talents and skills in their business, which makes it a much more productive experience. They're also capitalizing on hidden skills that they didn't even know they had. They realize it's all about experiencing and living a Life without Boundaries!
No Limit to Earnings Potential
Working outside of the home, you are often limited by how much you can earn. Unless you work on commissions, you do not have the ability to earn more than your salary. However, when you have a Home-Based Business, there is no limit to your earnings potential! Executives can bring home a few hundred dollars weekly or even a few thousand dollars weekly; it all depends on how well they plan their business and how much time & effort they put into it to create true Financial success.
Achieve Peace of Mind & Freedom
Corporate Executives who are choosing to own their own Home-Based Business understands there will be some level of stretching themselves!a� To learn things they never knew and even face fears that they didna€ t know they had. Some may look at stretching yourself as stress. However, it's nothing like the stress that's involved while working for Corporate America. Executives understand they will have challenges along the way, with some level of stress, yet it's worth it when you have true Peace of Mind & Freedom!
Executives are taking action and realizing their true potential by fulfilling their Dreams and becoming their own Boss! Finally, theya€ re choosing to take control of their own Destiny by saying YES to becoming an Entrepreneur and experiencing true Freedom!

Do What You Are Good At
I read recently a book from the rich dad’s advisors series from Blair Singer titled “The ABC’s of Building a Business Team That Wins”. An excellent read for those of you who want. But I don’t want to talk about the general concept of the book that revolves around building teams based on a code of honor that the members would have to hold. A code specific designed for the whole team.
I would rather want to talk about something else in the book that grab my attention, thoughts, and feelings. Though I was exposed to the concept, I want to talk about, before, it was really while reading this book that kicked something inside me. Like when you are reading something you heard or read many times before somewhere else, but this time you say “wow, yes, that makes sense” and it gets imprinted inside you.
Well, while I was reading, in a chapter of the book the writer talks about some evaluations companies run on their employees with the purpose to identify their strong and weak points, where they are good at and where they are facing weaknesses related to their work. Once they do that they point to their workers their weak points to work on them in order to improve their performance. (more…)
