There are THREE types of network marketing models:

The OLD-SCHOOL Model

The Company gets $0.60 – $0.70 cents
The Distributors get $0.30 – $0.40 cents

Approximate Number of ACTIVE members needed to earn $10,000 a month
in monthly passive income….2,500 – 5,000 members

The NEW-SCHOOL Model

The Company gets $0.50 cents
The Distributors get $0.50 cents

Approximate Number of ACTIVE members needed to earn $10,000 a month
in monthly passive income….2,000 – 3,000 members

The NEXT GENERATION Model

The Company get $0.30 – $0.40 cents
The Distributor gets $0.60 – $0.70 cents

Approximate Number of ACTIVE members needed to earn $10,000 a month
in monthly passive income….500 – 1,500 members

What type of model would you rather be a part of?

A company where the owner’s bank accounts are getting fat off the efforts of the distributors?

Or a company that is OWNED by the distributors?

Hmmm……something to chew on.

Signing off on that note.

P.S. Yes…..the NEXT-GENERATION model really DOES exist!

Jamie walked into the club, excited to reconnect with old friends.  She’d set this date on her calendar months ago and spent all day getting ready for the big occasion.

The first to arrive, Jamie waited patiently for the arrival of her friends.  It had been a few years since their last gathering and she was thrilled
to hear all about what had transpired in their lives and share the excitement in her own.

As her friends filed in one by one, Jamie noticed someone new in the group and felt the attraction stir within her.  Not only was Alex strikingly handsome, but he also seems to have the qualities she was looking for in a man.

As the evening progressed, a woman sat down next to Alex and Jamie was disappointed to find out this was his wife. She began to mentally tear her apart to shreds.

Overcome by jealousy, Jamie’s attitude left much to be desired as she verbally sliced and diced Alex’s wife with her sarcasm and cutting humor.  Alex was insulted and offended by the comments made and abruptly left the conversation in disgust, wife in tow.

Maybe you’ve never had this situation happen to you, but if you are in network marketing,  I imagine you’ve encountered people along the way who have torn you and your business to shreds.

Perhaps you have been the one who was doing the slicing and dicing.

If and when you meet someone who already has a business, consider them married.  Don’t be the first one to tell them their products are overpriced, their comp plan doesn’t pay and they’re involved in a company lacking in integrity.

In other words, don’t tell them their wife has a big wart on her nose, is overweight, can’t cook and has no personality!

They’ll put up a wall so fast you won’t know what hit you!

It’s much better to find those areas that you can agree upon and partner together to share what is working for you and how you can help each other.  It comes down to the partnership and if that person ever decides their business isn’t working out for them, they will have already built a relationship based on trust with you and perhaps join you in
your business.

If someone is married to their MLM, don’t tempt them to cheat on their spouse. There are plenty of prospects who are single and looking.

Meet Ed.

He’s like most people in network marketing.

He didn’t read his policies and procedures.

Ed said he was promised by his sponsor that he’d make a lot of money
if he just followed the “duplicatable system” his team was using.

When Ed asked his sponsor about retirement,
he was told he would be able to retire.

When Ed asked about passing the business along to his kids,
he was told he could do so.

When Ed asked if he could work another MLM,
he was told it was okay.

But what Ed didn’t realize is that his sponsor was misinformed.

His sponsor was the product of generations of reps who
had never really taken the time to read their policies and procedures.

Ed found out the hard way.

After 10 years of dedication and hard work,
he had built a very successful business.

Unfortunately, Ed had some personal health issues and became ill,
forcing him to put his business on hold.

The first few months were wonderful because he was
generating a residual check that blessed him during a time of need.

His hard efforts really paid off!

But then the 4th month hit and he was in for a real shocker!

He didn’t realize there was an ‘ongoing commitment’ clause…..
meaning he had to continue working to receive his full residual income check.

Consequently, his check was cut by about 80%.

Mad as Hades, Ed got out his policies and procedures to
prove the company wrong.

Better late than never, I guess.

That is when Ed discovered a host of information that
made his stomach drop and his head spin.

You see, Ed didn’t realize he would never be able to retire,
nor would he be able to pass his business along to his children
and he noted that if he even remotely complained about the
policies to other reps, he could be terminated or sued by the company.

Don’t be caught with your head in the sand.
It’s a very dark and lonely place.

With your head buried, your vision is impaired
and you’ll never know what’s going to come by
and kick you in the ……rear.

Over the years, my husband has found a great fondness for gardening.

He’s a natural at it and has grown some beautiful vegetables to feed our growing family.

At one point, he even invested in a 20′ x 60′ greenhouse that was so meticulous you could have contacted any gardening magazine to come and do a photo shoot on the spot. The guy’s got a green thumb that amazes me and he truly enjoys the beauty of growing his own food for his family and sharing his produce with family and friends.

The picture shown above are the artichoke plants he recently started from seed. Most people would just go to the local nursery and buy the plants but Gerry isn’t like most people. He saw the advantages to growing his own plants so he invested in some books and discovered he needed to built his own propagation table, purchase the correct lighting fixtures and provide the proper amount of ventilation, water and personal care.

He did the research, purchased the supplies, built the table and followed the step-by-step instructions so he could make the most of his time and investment.

The results? Lots and lots of organic fruit and vegetables!

The reason why Gerry has been able to be so successful with his gardening is because he actually took the time to sit down and read what the experts have done to create abundance in their backyard.

He didn’t just jump in with both feet and blindly get started without gathering facts, buying the tools and the doing his homework.

Had he done so, he probably wouldn’t have yielded much fruit and he would have been very frustrated with the whole process.  No doubt in my mind, he would have been a bit grouchy about the whole ordeal.

Growing a garden is really no different than growing a business.

Most people jump into MLM with the intention of making a lot of money in a relatively short period of time.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

You need to do the research, get the facts and use the right tools to plow a field that will yield a lot of fruit.

Listen, if you are in this industry and you are flat discouraged with your results, I encourage you to read the
book that shed some much welcomed light on what is really going on in this industry.

You can choose to stumble through years of MLM trial-and-error….
or you can read this book first!

Lil Wayne is nothing short of a legend with today’s youth and in the rapper / hip hop communities.

Being the mother of 3 teenage girls, I’m not immune to the latest craze and am all-too-familiar with Lil Wayne’s story.

I’ve got to be honest with you, I’m a sucker for a good beat and while I don’t always agree with the message, the guys got talent oozing from his pores.

Well, I was up late one night and I happened to walk in the room when there was a special documentary about the life of Lil Wayne.

At that time, I had never even seen the guy and I joined my starry-eyed kids.

The guy certainly doesn’t care what people think of him and it’s evidenced by every ounce of his body.  He is who he is and he isn’t moved by anybody.  But it wasn’t the story of his life that made me really sit up and pay attention that night.

There was one little mention of something that will forever stand out in my mind because it really shed light on the reality of who gets noticed and who fades away.

You see, Lil Wayne was driven to succeed and what he did to achieve that dream was what amazed me.

He knew he needed to be everywhere in this industry to really be noticed and that’s exactly what he did.

He put himself right in the middle of the action.  He began recording with other artists and right smack in the middle of it all, there was Lil Wayne doin’ his thing like only he knows how to do.

A person can barely even listen to a piece by a rapper or hip hop artist without hearing Lil Wayne.  He’s nothing short of genius!

Like him or hate him, it doesn’t matter.  He is who he is and he’s certainly made a name for himself doing something he loves to do.

As network marketers, we need to learn a very valuable lesson from this guy.  We need to be right in the middle of it all by placing ourselves there, raising our hand and rising to the occasion.  We need to not care what others think about us and live out our true authentic selves.

We need to be everywhere at once and with the internet, that IS possible!

Go out there and make yourself larger than life itself!

Nobody is going to do it for you.

There are a variety of ways to generate leads for your home based business:

1.    The Good Ol’ List of 100-150 Friends and Family
2.    Belly to Belly Using the Ever-So-Fun 3 Foot Rule
3.    Home Shows
4.    Giving Away Free Information to Add Value to the Marketplace
5.    Building a List Using a Lead Capture
6.    Blogging
7.   Article Marketing
8.   Email Marketing
9.   Cold Calling
10. Social Media Marketing

While I do realize we all have our opinions about what works and
what is a waste of time and money, I always encourage people in this industry
to do whatever works for them.

If you have found a way to generate leads that is bringing you high quality, targeted leads
that actually join you in your business and stick around, great!

However, if you have not found something that is working for you, we need to chat.

If you’re struggling in this industry and you are at your wits end,
I just may be able to help you.

Your time is valuable and so is your money.

Are you ready for a change?

Everybody knows that 97% of network marketers don’t really make a dime!

There’s an old saying and it goes like this:

“Hard work has absolutely nothing to do with progress.”

You can work as hard as you want to but if you’re moving in the WRONG direction,
you’ll end up dead in the water with a fish in your mouth!

Not pretty.

Most people HATE selling.
Most people HATE recruiting.
Most people HATE cold calls.

and

Most people HATE the fact that they spend hours upon hours each day
spinning their wheels trying to build a business online and they just
don’t have two nickels to rub together!

Sound familiar?

Yeah, I thought so.

Well, you know there are lots of people in this industry that want you to believe
that ALL you need to do is be more of YOU, think positive, visualize, be more motivated,
change your attitude, set more goals and create the hottest dream board on the block, believe in the products and create relationships with your prospects.

Add a few chants to that mix and you’ll have the real deal! NOT!

Whew, I’m exhausted already!

Look, don’t get me wrong. These things are all great but they aren’t going
to make you any real money.

But what you really need are SKILLS!

Most people want to make a lot of money and they want to do it as quickly
as possible without a lot of mess.

But without the skills, we all know you won’t be making the cash flow you desire.

Would it be okay if I pointed you in the RIGHT direction so you can spend LESS time
on your business and MORE time with your family?

• She PATROLS your home in search of products that are manufactured by ANOTHER company.
• She tells you to HIDE all other brands when you have friends over, because you really don’t believe in the products if you have OTHER products in your home.
• She tells your downline you aren’t a committed leader because you are tending to your dying grandmother rather than working your business.
• She yells at you for missing the Saturday morning call because you chose to go to your daughter’s wedding.
• She insists your company is not MLM, even though she is being paid on MULTI-levels.
• She believes your company is not MLM, because the company told her it’s not.
• She believes her company is the ONLY way to make a real residual income.
• She believes with all her heart that anyone who doesn’t join her is an IDIOT & will never make it.
• Her only friends are in her MLM company.
• She doesn’t call you anymore if you don’t make the autoship.
• She doesn’t have a life outside of her MLM.
• She eats, sleeps, drinks and breathes……her company.
• She goes to PTA meetings and soccer games with the intention of recruiting.
• Life outside of her MLM doesn’t exist.

Sound funny?  Think again!  It’s no fun working with someone who drank the MLM Kook-Aid.

There is FREEDOM in thinking outside the box of the traditional 9-5 and the people you partner with on your work at home journey are going to make all the difference in the world!

I’m here to have fun, meet great people, change lives and make a lot of money along the way.

How about you?

So, a friend of yours told you all the success stories of their company
and without much thought or research, you signed on the dotted line.

You’re now the owner of your own business and you represent XYZ Company
and you’ve just slapped down about $500 bucks to get started.

Your package is due to arrive any day now and while you’re waiting
you’re encouraged to share this great ‘opportunity’ to all of your
family and friends because they need to hear about this
incredible opportunity.

Your upline may even share this little secret with you….

“The smart ones will join you.” What?

Stop right there! Before you move any farther towards the cliff,
I want you to go find your little contract you signed and READ IT!

Grab those policies and procedures of the company and READ THEM!

It’s a MUST for anyone in this industry because once you read them you
just may discover that you don’t OWN your own business at all!

You should examined the integrity of the company.
This is by far the most important part of joining any business opportunity.
Most people don’t take the time to read a contractual agreement.
The companies realize this and perhaps that is why the really nasty parts
of the policies will be found in the middle to the latter part of the agreement.
When you are reading through your contract, take your time
and have someone assist you if necessary.

Here are some of the policies that were a red flag to me when
I began searching for a company to join.
These are copied directly from the policies and procedures
of a few companies that are well known in the industry,
however, I chose to use ‘representative’ instead of the title used
by the companies to identify those who were distributing their products or services.

1) If any member of the ‘representatives’ immediate household engages
in any activity which, if performed by the ‘representative’, would violate any
company policy or any provision of the agreement, such activity will be deemed
a violation by the ‘representative’.

Hmmmm…….I am penalized for my families activity? Yikes!

2) To qualify for compensation under the company compensation plan,
‘representatives’ have the ongoing responsibility to service, supervise,
motivate, train and assist their downline.

Hmmm……Okay…..so how can I retire if I have an “ongoing responsibility”?

3) During the period that the company agreement is in force AND for
a period of twelve months after cancellation, ‘representatives’ and
all members of their immediate household are prohibited from directly,
indirectly or through a third party (WHAT?????) recruiting ANY customers or
‘representative’ to participate in any other business venture.

Geez……this meant I wouldn’t own my list of people I brought into the company!

Anyway, I’m sure you see the point here. If I wanted to own my own business,
I had certainly better find a business that would allow me to retire,
pass it along to my children, offer other business opportunities to my downline
and keep my own list!

What about you? Have you taken the time to read through the contract?
Do you really own your own business? Let me know what you discover and
as always, I’m here to help you.

Imagine your response if you were surfing the web and came across something YOU wrote, but it’s on someone else’s website and they aren’t even on your team….. and it’s EXACTLY like how you wrote it. No spin off, but the exact content with your style and THEIR name. Hmmm….So you wanna be a leader, huh? Listen up…..this is a somewhat funny story.
