Two Keys To Your Success – Organization and Discipline

I am pretty much an organized individual, and I consider myself a disciplined person as well, when I put my mind to it. I attribute that to playing sports when I was younger. You had to train and focus on the task at hand. You cannot deviate in any way shape or form from what you wanted to accomplish.

These are lessons that I was taught a long time ago and I have carried them on into my business career. It’s very important to your success on and off the field.

I have always drilled into my children…the keys to your success are organization and discipline. If you don’t have them, you will struggle, no matter what you do.

I must admit, they were not easy to learn, but if you want to be better than the opposition, you have to start with the little things, and you have to work hard to refine these skills in you.

This comes easier to some and harder to others. I do have a tendency to drift off the main road on occasion, and I really had to work to get these qualities down.

When I came into the network marketing industry, I had no idea what I was doing or what direction to take. I was anxious to get started, but lacked the skills to succeed. I just needed someone to point me in the right direction and I was off.

I met up with some of the best network marketers on the planet, who had the success and the experience to show me the steps I had to take to be successful in this industry. My Lead System Pro was the system that they were using and everything that I’ve learned about internet marketing came from them and MLSP.

What do you do first? What is the very first step that you take?

1. Organization

Make a plan, because if you don’t, you will end up like me at the beginning of my network marketing experience. I was all over the map. Doing articles, making videos, and tweeting away a ton of time studying and researching everything under the sun. I had my hand on everything, but not building my business.

Don’t get distracted. You don’t need every new software program that comes out promising all these great leads. That’s what my network marketing friends from MLSP taught me, because I can get distracted.

Internet marketing, or any kind of marketing for that matter, can never take the place of talking to people and building relationships. This is what pays the bills and puts food on the table.

Now you will have to learn marketing skills and how to implement them, but don’t try to take them all in at one time. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Take one and learn it, then use it, and finally share it with others. This will brand you with others and generate leads for your business. Then you will still have to get on the phone or meet people, and prospect. This is the heart of your business. You cannot push this off to the side, like I did for a long time.

2. Discipline

Now, that you have organized and have a plan, comes the hard part. Putting that plan into action.

They say if you do something for thirty days, it becomes a habit, and you will continue to do it without thinking. Just like breathing, but you have to do what Nike says…”just do it”. Quit thinking and contemplating, and making sure all your pencils are sharp…just do it!

It’s so easy to get side tracked, even for the best of us, but once you have organized a plan, all that’s left is putting it into action.

For me, once I get into the flow, ounce I get rolling….look out! Don’t get in my way! I hate interruptions, I hate getting pushed off the road, just point me in the right direction and I’m gone.

If you will learn how to organize yourself and your time, and discipline yourself to the task at hand, you will be successful.

I want to leave you with a final word from Art Williams. On February 10, 1977 Art Williams and 85 associates founded their own company, A.L. Williams & Associates, better known today as Primerica. A self made billionaire, Art spoke at a company convention. Listen to what he says.

Writing Style – Write The Way You Talk

When I started in network marketing, I ran my warm market far far away from me. When my family and friends saw me coming, they ran in the other direction. Because I was never a pushy used car salesman type, needless to say, I never had many sales or recruits.

Then I discovered the Internet.I met a person who introduced me to Internet marketing. Marketing and generating leads by means of this fabulous new tool called the Internet, was great. I loved the Internet anyway, so why not use this format for my business purposes.

I learned some new marketing techniques and strategies using the Internet. I was generating leads and meeting some awesome people in the network marketing community. I really loved what I was doing.

One technique that I tried and fell in love with was article marketing. I loved to write, and now I could get a blog and start writing my articles for my business and my passions.

My first writing came on a very popular platform called hubpages. Many of you have probably heard of it or are writing on your own hubpages, but I didn’t know what to write about. My friend told me to write about things I was very passionate about. So I started to write. That was almost two years ago and one of my very first articles is still getting hits today.

I want to give you five quick simple steps that will help you make your writing skills about you, your personality, and attract more people to you..

1. Write The Way You Talk

Good writing is like a conversation between the writer and the reader. So when you’re writing, think about how you would explain what your saying to a close friend who is sitting right across from you. Use the same words, the same stories, that you would normally use to explain your points.

2. Read Out Loud To Yourself

You should be proof reading your articles before you publish them, and when you do, read them out loud to yourself, as if you were reading them to a congregation. As you read you will stumble over the parts that you need to fix. They will sound awkward and won’t have that nice flow. Do this until your article sounds good and flows smoothly.

3. Ask Someone To Read It For You

This is where my wife comes in. I ask her to read my articles before I get ready to publish them. She is my best critic. If she see something that doesn’t sound right, I better take a look at it. This should be someone that you know will give your writing an honest scrutiny.

4. Use The Same Words You Talk With Every Day

When I first started to write and blog, I tried to use big long sophisticated words. I tried to be someone I wasn’t. Just be yourself. Your true personality will come out when you start writing this way, and people will just be attracted to you because of who you really are. Remember, not everyone will like who you are, and that’s ok too.

5. Just Start Writing

Don’t worry about the grammar, writing styles, and punctuation, just start writing. Get your main thoughts and ideas down, and don’t worry about anything else. Once your done, than you can go back and edit your spelling and grammar errors. Remember, you and a close friend will be proof reading it before it goes out.

Have fun writing and expressing your thoughts, ideas and value to enhance your readers and followers lives. Remember to always be yourself, because people will always be attracted to the real you, and not to someone you are pretending to be.

10 Steps To Success In Network Marketing

When I left Ford Motor Company and decided to start my own business, the first place that I looked was the network marketing industry. I had put in thirty five successful years at Ford, and now I wanted to put in successful years at my own business.

I had dabbled in network marketing many years ago and found it to be very interesting, but I have learned a great deal since then and I wanted to do this the right way and give me the greatest opportunity for success that I could.

I am going to give you the ten steps to success in network marketing, that I learned the hard way and by implementing these into your business, you can bypass some of my mistakes.

1. Commit and Follow Through

Your decision to start, build and grow your business is a very serious one. Consider the commitment you are making. Treat it as a business and it will pay you like a business. Treat it as a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby.

2. Look For The Right Company

Find a company that has the right product for the right market. Products that are high in demand and have solid value. A strong compensation plan with solid and supportive leadership that will assist and train you with a long term vision of growth.

3. Duplication

Many people forget the first word in network marketing. Building a network of like minded people. Leveraging your products through your network is your business. Make sure your company has a system of duplication that you can plug your people into.

4. Surround Yourself With Success

Become a part of the company community. Success never travels alone. Hook into those people who are making it and become a sponge. Soak up what they are giving out. Listen and learn and watch what happens.

5. Keep Communication Lines Open

Stay in touch with the person who brought you in and keep in touch with those you bring in. Help them get started on the right foot. Building a solid infrastructure is going to be a huge key to your success.

6. Accountability

Find a mentor or somebody that you will be held accountable too. Someone who is successful and that you can connect with.

7. Have Patience

So many people will jump into a network marketing business because a friend told them about it and they don’t give it any thought at all. Studies show that after 63 days they will quit. This is your business. No one builds a successful business in 63 days. Give yourself a window of between 2-5 years.

8. Chart Your Success

Set some goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. Have a balance of internet marketing and offline marketing. Try different strategies and watch which ones are working for you and which ones that aren’t.

9. Make Good Business Decisions

Your business decisions should always be based on facts and not on fear They should be thought through without all the emotional tags attached to them.

10. Seek Wise Counsel

Getting good advice comes from good resources. Rely on the wisdom of successful and experienced people in your industry, not your wife, family or friends. After all, you wouldn’t want to be seeking advice about the brain surgery you must have, from your eight year old son who likes playing with his doctor kit!

The network marketing industry is a 120 billion dollar a year industry. There are many successful stories to write about. Decide today that you are going to be the next one.

If you have a success story or are just starting out in the network marketing industry, please tell me about it. I would love to hear about you and your experience.

Good Business is Good Relationships

Since the dawn of time sales people have always been looked down on. You know, the used car salesman type. They would chase you around the lot, promising you everything, and coming through with nothing. People always felt that if you purchased your new vehicle from anyone, other then a new car showroom floor sales person, you were getting ripped off.

Direct sales have changed. Or I should say are slowly changing over time. Actually this has been around for a few years, but not to many people use it. It’s called attraction marketing.

People buy from people that they know and trust. They don’t buy from companies. I know we are getting very cold in the way we try to do business today. We talk to computers, send emails, but there is no human face attached to the person on the other end of the phone or computer. That is what still makes direct sales what it has always been. Direct face to face and eye to eye contact.

Now I am not diminishing internet marketing. I am an internet marketer. My marketing system is a lead generation, and residual income producer for me. If you don’t have an internet presence, you will soon be left behind. But we still have to get on the phone and talk to people. That’s where the sale is closed. The human element still has to exist and be there for that closing to take place.

A man moved into the new house that he and his wife had just purchased. They were very excited. All the lawns and landscaping of all the homes in the neighborhood, were beautiful. He got right to work on his.

After months of fertilizing and and watering, his lawn still had weeds and looked terrible. He finally got the nerve up to ask his neighbor for some pointers on how he could get his lawn to look like his. The man was more than happy to help out with all his landscaping needs.

Soon the man’s new yard started to take on a brand new look. Everything was looking fantastic. He finally asked his new neighbor how he knew so much about landscaping. He answered, ” I own my own landscaping business”. He hired the neighbor on the spot for all his landscaping needs.

This story explains what attraction marketing is. You lead by giving out value, not by pitching some company or product. The minute you do that, people will perceive you as a leader and someone who knows what they are doing. You are separating yourself from the thousands of peddlers out their who are selling a company and chasing people around shoving their product down their throats.

The most important thing you are doing, is you are building relationships. Remember, people buy from people, not companies. Once the man in our story found out that his neighbor knew something about landscaping, and he had built a relationship with him, he was ready to buy what ever he was selling. Good business is good relationships.

Internet Marketing Secrets

Every year more and more people are going to the internet to do part or all of their holiday shopping. What better place to shop? No spending money for gas to drive to the malls. No fighting traffic or the huge crowds. Just pour a cup of coffee and let your fingers do the walking.

My Journey in MLM

My journey in MLM, (multi level marketing), began many years ago. I got involved with my first MLM business, Amway. Amway is one of the most successful MLM businesses in history. They have a great product line and have a history to prove it. But I had a hard time in it. I never achieved the success that I thought I would or that I was told I would.

I did what all the successful people in Amway told me to do. Bought all the tapes and Cd’s, went to all the meetings, used the products myself, (they are awesome products by the way), and I was not getting the results that everyone told me I would. After awhile, when I was spending more money than I was making, I decided, this is not for me.

I joined another MLM. Again, a very good company with a great product, but I was not getting any results. ” Just keep going, don’t quit, it will come to you.” That’s what I was told over and over again.

“Something must be wrong with me!”, I thought. “I’m doing something wrong.” But I could not figure out what it was. I was ready to quit for good. No more of this for me.

Than I discovered something. All these people who were successful, and telling me to follow what they were doing, were A-type personalities. You know, the used car salesman type. They could sell ice to an Eskimo. They would chase you down, they wouldn’t take no for an answer, until you signed the dotted line. This was not me! Than I discovered something else.

About 15% of the population are A-type personalities. The other 85% …..that’s where I fit in, were just average. But you know what……that’s a good thing.

I am still involved in an MLM business today, but this time I am doing things a little bit different. I have met some new successful business entrepreneurs. They are top earners in their MLM businesses. They are making six figure incomes every month. But the best part is…..they are not all A-type personalities. They are like me, and maybe even like you, and they are top earners.

They teamed up with me and have shown me some of their strategies. These strategies are nothing like what I was told to do.

It’s based on a system called Attraction Marketing. A system that is a complete turn around from the old days of meetings, tapes and CD’s. No chasing people around here. You attract them to you by branding yourself as a leader who adds value to them and their business.

Now I go out and help people. I help them to generate traffic to their websites. This traffic turns into leads for their business…… and this is the real kicker…..are you ready for this? Even if they don’t get into my primary business, I can still make money. Learning MLM secrets like these has changed my business forever.

All of this is done through a very useful tool called the Internet. If you don’t have an Internet presence for your business, you will not survive. I’m not just talking about a replicated website that you and another million people have. If that’s all you have, you look just like everyone else out there.

This is a fully branded attraction marketing system, that brands you as a leader instead of just another peddler peddling your company name or company products. Everybody has a business, and you are just one in a crowd.

Step out of the mold. Be different. You are a very special individual with special talents that make you, you. You have value that can make you money in this industry, and you can help others do the same.

Fill out the information below and I will show you how this system can work for you and the success that you so very much deserve. Stop struggling!

I will also send you a training that we did on how to generate 20 leads a day from Face-book, for FREE!! This is an incredible training, by one of our top earners, and it’s yours for FREE!!

Your true success is just around the corner. Don’t quit now!

Internet Marketing Strategies

About three months ago I was down and depressed. I was working my MLM business to all my friends and family. We had meetings at numerous houses and did seminars. I talked to everyone. The top people in my business were telling me what they did and if I just kept at it, things would turn around.

Everyone was getting leads and signing people into their groups and I was still trying to sign up my first one. I was ready to quit. I just wanted to give it all up and see if I could get a job at Walmarts as a greeter. Nothing was working for me.

Then I met a couple of guys who were doing just phenomenal in their MLM businesses. They were generating 30 and 40 leads a day. I had to check this out. I wanted to see what kind of scam they were operating.

I signed up for the trial version. Two weeks for one dollar. I was going to see what they could do for me in just two weeks.

Well, in just two weeks I generated twenty leads and had my first sale. I never had a lead before…..ever….in my whole life. I also had my first sale. I never had a sale before….ever….in my whole life. I thought WOW!!! This really works.

Since than, I have been focusing my efforts in a couple of directions, but I am really concentrating on article marketing. I have already been ranked on the first page of Google for one of my articles, including my website also. I am generating leads and I am making sales.

When I was struggling before and my upline kept saying to continue having meetings at your house and do the belly to belly marketing with everybody you know, and the reason that it didn’t work was because that type of marketing only works with type (A) personalities. Did you know that only 15% of the population has that type of personalty? You know, the used car sales mentality. Chasing you all over the lot until you buy and sign.

Folks, that was not me. I am the other 85% But I want you to know that you don’t have to chase family and friends around anymore. You can make a very good living in your MLM business. I don’t care what kind of business you are in.

There is an awesome tool out there called the internet. It is changing the way people live, communicate, and shop.

Did you know that 1.5 billion people use the internet every day. What if you could get your business in front of just one percent of those people? That would be 15 million people. Do you think you might strum up some interest in your business or products after 15 million people take a peak at who you are and what you have?

This is all about branding you and your presence on the internet. It’s all based on attraction marketing, that was started by Mike Dillard a few years back, and his MLM Traffic Formula 2, is a must have to get you started on the right road to creating lots of leads and branding yourself on the internet.

Learning MLM secrets and how to work the internet marketing strategies, many of which are FREE, is what I do. Using these strategies gets you ranked higher in all the search engines, creating traffic jams at your site and lots of leads for your business.

I will never chase people again. I don’t have to. They now come to me. I get calls from people from all over the country wanting to learn these same internet marketing tools.

If your tired of chasing your family and friends, if you want to learn how to market your business through the internet, fill out your information at the bottom of this page.

Timeless Principles of Marketing

The success of any business venture boils down to using timeless principles of marketing. A maketer has only three basic goals.

To increase the number of customers
To increase the amount of the average order
To increase the frequency of orders

That’s it. There aint’t no more. That’s the end of my blog. :0)

JUST KIDDING!

If you can master these three fundamentals, you can grow any business, wheather your on the internet or not. It doesn’t matter what your product is; information or a pen and pencil set. You can be successful if you understand how this works.

Our high tech world is changing rapidly, and methods of internet marketing are changing also, but these principles will be with us forever and will never change.

I am speaking to all business owners, not just MLM businesses. I received a call from a women in Canada the other day, who has a brick and mortor business, and wants to use the internet to market that business. So this is for everyone.

Supose you had a product or service that you wanted to market. You buy a list of some targeted prospects. Send out direct mailers to these prospects. Pay for postage and printing and the list you had to buy. It will probably cost you around $5000.00 and the response rate for something like this is around one half of one percent. You might get fifty customers at $100.00 a piece. You just break even.

Or you could have all family, neighbors and friends over to your house for a showing of what you are trying to sell. I think we all know where that takes you. Response for this is nil.

Let’s do the same thing, but this time our marketing will be done through the internet. We take the same product, service, or information that you are offering, run it through a system of internet marketing sources that might cost you $500.00. Say you get the same results. Fifty new customers. At $100.00 each you still have $5000.00 income, but look at your marketing expence. It’s around $500.00 dollars. Your profit is about $4500.00 dollars.

The key is where do you get the leads? Where do you get the 10,000 people that can start this marketing wheel in motion? You could buy them. There are a lot of companies that do nothing but make calls and get lists of interested people in the products that their clients sell. They make their money by selling those lists to you. If any of you have ever paid for lists and leads, you know what I’m talking about. How did that work out for you?

What if you could come up with a sytem that would generate that list for you? A list of people that are interested in what you do? Now this list is not free. It costs you,…are you ready for this,…say 30 to 50 cents a lead, and it’s your list. The people on this list called you, you didn’t have to chase them, or have a meeting at your house.

This is marketing on the internet, and for many of us, this is our life. This is how we make an income that puts food on the table and pays all the bills.

Albert Enstein said, the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. What if your life depended on your success? For many of us, it does.

When Spanish explorer, Hernan Cortes, conquered Mexico in 1519, he faced overwelming odds. Tens of thousands of Aztec warriors against about 400 of his soldiers. When his troops began to mutiny, Cortes ordered all but one of his eleven ships sunk so there was no avenue of escape. Then he rallied his troops with a stirring speech. Conquer or die. Those were their options.

Are you still using the same tools for doing business that you were doing ten years ago? Still cold calling? Talking to strangers in the grocery line? Are you at a conquer or die situation? Are you trapped in Ensteins definition of insanity?

Stay tuned, and I will give you some tools that will change your business in a different direction. If you can’t wait, fill out your information below.

God bless you all.
