The Tiger Woods Saga and MLM Home Business..3 Similarities and ONE Huge Difference

The Tiger Woods Saga and MLM Home Business...3 Similarities and ONE Huge Difference



Everybody seems to have an opinion about the Tiger Woods scandal…even the Stock Market fell into a lull for 13 minutes as Tiger made his first public appearance and apology in 3 months. For me, the main interest was the psychology of why people behave contrary to their belief systems and the inherent right to learn from their mistakes and get a second chance


The more I thought about this human drama, the more I was struck by certain similarities.


1. The GAME and BUSINESS MODEL


The game of golf remains constant and true to its principles. It continues to exist within the spectrum of personal victories and failures of golfers. There will always be golfers striving for recognition and beating their personal best within rules and protocol.


The MLM industry model…its main concepts and functions will continue into the future within the range of millionaire, poor, new or veteran networkers who strive to make it work as well as they hope to. If goals do not work out as planned, we, as entrepreneurs, have the right to change the rules to better meet changing times.



2. THE MESSAGE
 One sincere explanation will be believed or not believed. His apology for his behavior will be received and dissected in as many diverse ways as possible by people with as many diverse viewpoints, including those who may not even play the game or have working knowledge. Those with secondary agendas will step from the shadows and try to capitalize from his fame and fortune.


It happens when trying to explain the Network Marketing Business Model. Some will take a pitch...some will cry foul and some will hit amazing home runs! Some people have no experience, or a bad experience or base their understanding on hearsay. Entitlement or entrenchment is not the channel to make judgments and decisions. In fact, any voluntary, on-the-spot act can produce irreversible results that may take a lifetime to erase.


3. PERSONAL CHOICES


We all need to find our “core values” as we travel a personal journey. Character will decide the direction of the game. It starts with practice and vision to improve and meet individual goals. It includes personal responsibility and respect for team members.


Similarly, people can choose not to see the potential of this home business model based on only 3 simple principles: message, marketing and residual income. Some close the window of opportunity and find fault with the industry, not themselves or lack of training or consistency.






4. PERSONAL CHALLENGE


Herein lies the biggest difference…in most sports…individual excellence is based on a combination of natural talent, dedication, practice and vision.


In network marketing, excellence comes from LEVERAGE.

 Leverage of Information Tools will make you a champion…

In other words, you don’t have to spend years of self-sacrifice, training and expense to become the best you can be. You become the messenger and share information by an expert via a webinar or DVD. Imagine if a Tiger Woods double could take all your golf shots!


Imagine if a successful CEO can do all your presentations?


WHAT WE DON’T KNOW CAN HURT US FINANCIALLY.


Of course, many questions remain about Tiger Woods:


How long will his rehabilitation take?

How long before he gets back to playing great golf?


In the same way..networkers have questions. Nobody wants to do something that doesn’t work. The track record for networker success is not very encouraging.


How long before a networker can make some serious money?

What kind of training do I need to make this work for me?




Here’s a personal invitation to you…will you take it, leave it, assume you know, deflect or blame it on someone else?


There is a new instrument in this MLM Network Marketing Home Business called
 Own Your Channel.

The time is right to change the way this industry can produce results for the average networker. It begins by reversing the sequence and building an independent home-based team before joining a MLM opportunity. Why not calculate profits before spending money? Why not Pay It Forward and share your success to help others? Why not double, triple your earnings from multiple pay plans?


Remember. Your championship word is LEVERAGE. Listen to this compelling video. Then call me to discuss your questions and opinions. We are here to help and support you. Life is a competition but our team is about co-operation and paying it forward.


In the meantime, I wish the best for Tiger Woods...He is a prodigy with human conditions who has transformed the game of golf. He has a long road to climb with serious crosses to bear and I wish him and his family faith, healing and happiness.


Standing by to help,
Annemarie

In the meantime, if you feel that parts of MLM do not work..let the facts speak for themselves. The facts are, there are 49.9 million people in direct sales that sell 89.2 billion dollars in sales. There are 475,000 new distributors joining each week. Check out the Own Your Channel video now and choose to see what is truly in front of you.

Home Business News with Own Your Channel Done Right..the Bad, the Good, the Best

Home Business News with Own Your Channel Network Marketing Done Right..the Bad, the Good, the Best



“Don’t become a victim of yourself. Forget about the thief waiting in the alley; what about the thief in your mind?”Jim Rohn






The bad news is that this recession has caused an unemployment rate that hovers about 10%. Joblessness has wreaked financial and emotional changes and hardships for countless people. The good news is that Own Your Channel offers real stewardship and opportunity to become self-employed with a profitable home business. The best news is that change begins at a personal level..and no one can calls us to action like Jim Rohn.


BAD NEWS


Recently a New York Times/CBS Poll surveyed 708 unemployed adults. You can read the entire article and actual people.Poll reveals depth and trauma of joblessness


Unemployment has caused major life changes and mental health issues for millions of Americans, a New York Times/CBS News poll found.


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34428644/ns/business-the_new_york_times/from/ET


Now here are some of the realities faced by unemployed workers which applied to nearly half of them


  • borrowed money from friends or relatives
  • cut back on doctor’s visits or medical treatments and did not have health insurance
  • suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia
  • encountered more difficulties with conflicts and arguments
  • had trouble maintaining even the basic necessities ,paying house payments and other bills

  • faced rising foreclosures and evictions

  • more embarrassed and ashamed of being out of work (men more so than women)

  • majority were rethinking career choices, moving, retraining

  • took on additional hours or another job to make ends meet (or spouse)






Does receiving unemployment benefits cover basic necessities…61 percent said no.


Does the job market look promising for future security… 39 percent anticipate improvement, 36 percent expect it will stay the same, and 22 percent say it will get worse.


Who or what is to blame for this high unemployment rate?


The highest blame went first to government and politicians (37%), banks (8%), globalization (8%) and other causes


Another interesting note: Approximately 30% people in a nationwide poll said their salary had been cut due to bad economic conditions.


GOOD NEWS


So is there a silver lining in this stormy economic prediction?


A network marketing home business is an ideal solution but it must be done right. The normal sequence must be reversed. Given a choice, what sequence would you choose:


a) join a top network marketing company ($50 for kit)..order autoshipment product ($100 -200 monthly (or more)..training/marketing materials ($100 or more)..time commitment steep learning curve..then build your team hoping others will pay the cost in dollars and hours.


b) build a home business team ($9 a month). When the team is large enough then join a top network marketing company and make calculated profits from Day 1. Your training/marketing is all about telling others one simple truth: if you have a big enough team, you'll make money in ANY network marketing company. 


A compelling video explains how this works.


BEST NEWS


Only you turn that first page away from Bad News. Only you can look in the mirror and decide to choose to make changes. You need to believe you deserve better..no way to blame others..no one else to lift your veil of frustration..no excuses with a legitimate, healthy home business you can start to build for $9 a month.


And while you’re looking in the mirror..repeat these words by Jim Rohn:


Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.


And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.


To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.


Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?


Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.


What if: the economic recession will continue to track on and you choose only to blame others and make excuses


What if: a simple video can explain a new and exciting home business opportunity with extraordinary income?


What if: repeating Jim Rohn’s words a few times a day will change our belief system and empower our future.


What if..a simple Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits covers the essential basics and training?

What if..you never try and another year passes by...


What if..we take the chance to talk about your dreams, achievements and what you would like to accomplish. Your comments and questions are always welcome.

How to Go from Clutter to Clarity in Network Marketing Home Business

How to go from Clutter to Clarity in network marketing home business



I’m moving on up..from clutter to clarity in my network markting home business in both a physical and a mental space.


I am physically moving from my downstairs home office to a new upstairs office that now adjoins a new backyard deck and patio.


In the process of moving, I’m also sorting and eliminating a lot of paper work. A lot of learning..but not much earning.


Do I regret all the paper work once managed? Not really, beause it has provided a solid foundation about network marketing principles and practices. Somewhat, because I could have spent more time with family and friends.


Would I recommend anybody else to follow or duplicate these calls, notes, downloads, research, training, manuals and binders full of transcriptions?


Never, not now... because I fully embrace the clarity and liberty with Own Your Channel.


Here is an example.


One turquoise blue binder about 4 inches thick held the majority of the main categories of notes. At one time, I thought a one-binder home business was actually a selling feature. Now it is one website and one video. Things are moving on up for everyone to participate in this wonderful business..binder or not. All you really need is a phone, a computer and a desire for something better or you and your family..


Here is a quick summation of my old “basement” home business plan (5 years in the making)...and this is just the first 2 pages!


...5 steps Getting Started Checklist for new enrollees


...Goal Sheet and Mission Statement (1 to 5 years)


...procedures for Profit Bonus Center Systems (12 variables..which works best for you)


...link for audio training (Word Document) if missed calls (each is one hour in duration..200 calls approx.


...60 second script to memorize (more like 5 minutes)


...System, Strategy, Marketing, Leadership modules and manuals


...overview corporate team presentations…know your product and testimonials


...six month wealth creation and debt elimination plan (OK..this was important to review)


...retailing strategy


...Diamond Team Resource List (private team site, private coaching, cutting edge technology, “hottest” leads in the industry, personal development systems, and much more)


The cover letter concludes with…”There is a ton of information here..but don’t worry…the great thing about this business is you have a sponsor and team to back you up, and be there every step of the way to insure your success.” Ever wonder why so many people give up in this industry between the time it takes to sponsor new people and then the time it takes to train them? Sounds like trading one full-time job for another. I know networkers who work 10 to 12 hours a day..is this the time freedom we search for or advocate for others?




If you feel burdened with an overload of "stuff", I  welcome you to also be enlightened with Own Your Channel...and the one and only team you will ever have to build.


My new “upstairs” home business plan is uncluttered and uncomplicated with no stringy cobwebs of information. It is simple with “sunny” mass appeal that everyone can do...the true foundation of network marketing.


I enjoy talking with real people and asking 3 simple questions:


1. Are you serious, really serious, about doing something different to improve your lifestyle and your family’s?


2. Are you able to watch two videos..5 minutes introduction and/or 37 minutes whole story?


3. Do you know 3 people who are also interested or serious about improving their lifestyle?


This is a call to action for all networkers to move on up from old to new, from drudgery to brilliance, from winter to spring...from 5 years of effort to 5 minutes of education.


Your questions and comments are always appreciated.

How Own Your Channel has liberated my Home Business ..and it can do the same for every network marketer

How Own Your Channel has liberated my home business..and it can do the same for every networker



It was one of my brightest days when I discovered Own Your Channel as a concept for building a significant and profitable home business. It is based on the brilliant logical sequence...build a team first...then capitalize on multiple network marketing companies. Calculate clearly what your profits will be before you start, make money on Day 1, and repeat the successful process again and again.


Own Your Channel has liberated my bank account. I am no longer concerned with expensive web traffic tools and tactics…they are too time consuming and they just plain don’t work. I no longer have to risk hundreds of dollars paying for autoshipments while I "pound the phone" looking for partners who want to spend hundreds of dollars also while hunting on the internet for prospects.


Own Your Channel has liberated my time. I want to talk to real prospects who are interested in improving their lifestyles and financial futures. It is sometimes easy to say “no” to a product but to financial independence and security… starting at $9 a month...that’s harder and more irresponsible from which to turn away.


Here is what I no longer have to do…and you can easily substitute the word YOU in place of I..


I (you) don’t do expensive pay per click ads...I only need 3 serious people who want a positive change in their lifestyle.


I (you) don’t do traffic exchanges anymore promoting someone else’s company...drudgery to get a click or two


I (you) don’t have to listen to SEO versus Adwords techniques to try and cope with ever- changing rules with internet marketing


I (you) can cancel so called targeted safelists..no more emails that never get read


I (you) don’t have to order any more e-books, courses…there is a low-level training…a few webinars to help create relationships and a social site for sharing stories, photos and more.


I (you) instantly delete weird emails with statements like instant passive income, endless leads, gargantuan traffic surges...no need to search anymore


Imagine, I (you) don’t need to concentrate on optin lists, leads, conversions, web pages, software, tracking, niches, codes, social bookmarks, or write continuous blogs for “self-branding” purposes. This home business is not about self-proclaimed virtues of “magnetic,” “attractive” experts but about the unselfish values of every family helping each other. There are no corporate trappings here...the way it should be in a free enterprise system.


I (you) don’t need to make technology a friend. Everyone can pick up the phone and introduce this brilliant concept and follow-up with an invitation to watch an amazing video.


I (you) don’t need to worry about researching the market, presenting in-depth details about product benefits, sales, selling strategies, step-by-step guides and scripts.


I (you) believe with a simple program, we even don’t need costly, long term coaching programs or “accountability partners” looking over our shoulder…our success will motivate us with protection and payout from a large team. Our self-development, self-confidence and self-esteem will rise proportionately with our profits. Others will knock on our doors to find out more about this extraordinary home business opportunity.


And you and I certainly don’t need somebody telling us what 7 steps to follow to manifest our dreams and destiny…We are powerful, capable human beings with equal rights who deserve prosperity and abundance in our lives.


I give thanks every day for the friendship of the networker who introduced me to Own Your Channel. I respect the leadership and fully support their vision of free enterprise and equal opportunity.
You are invited to check out this video..guaranteed you have not seen anything like this. Questions and comments are welcome, as always,

How Own Your Channel will Liberate your Network Marketing Home Business and Double Your Income..if you have 5 minutes

How Own Your Channel will liberate your network marketing home business and double your income..if you have 5 minutes to share..



The special emphasis is on liberate. Liberty is such an important word ranking along with independence, free enterprise and pursuit of happiness.


Liberty is freedom from control of fate or necessity…enjoying privileges and rights


And, to some degree, network marketing as a home business strives to reach these lofty goals and visions.


Where else can the average person have the opportunity to earn an executive-level income by working from home...without business experience, climbing corporate ladders, accruing college loans…regardless of background, culture, gender, age, or ethnicity.


It is a 60 year old business model based on building relationships and partnerships to make a difference with products and opportunity. Over the decades it seems to have evolved, along with technology and bureaucracy, into a more complex institution with grand stand plans and exclusive leadership models that are far removed from basic concepts that work for the majority of average people. The expectation is to start with 3 people which can be the beginning of a large successful organization.


My latest experiences in this grassroots industry has been over-saturated with top-gun gurus, advertising expenses, endless training, list-building, time consuming social media....trying to brand oneself in the middle of massive herds of other self-branding online marketers. This has been a painful and expensive experience to say the least..and it doesn’t ring true for the average part-time home business networker.


Now there is a new dawning with a new knight called OYC. It is challenging this complex system that very few people can hope to follow, much less achieve.


Networkers are now faced with a new mindset:


How simple it is to replicate home business success:

build a team first for $9 a month..own your own distribution channel, and when ready..move into residual profits..again and again..

However, because it requires challenging common assumptions and learning something new..even networkers fall back into the 4 stages of learning a new skill:


Stage 1: don’t know that they don’t know (unconscious)


Stage 2: know I don’t know but I will begin to work on learning it (conscious)


Stage 3: know what you need to know and you know you can do it (competence)


Stage 4: know you can perform the skill without even thinking about it (habit or mastery)


The bottom line is that it will take time and perseverance to expect even networkers to realize that building one team and working for one company is a flawed model. It means having to phone people at least four times. The simple message always stresses the value of watching the 5 minute introductory video and then the whole story.


Personally, I don’t get how people don’t “get it.” But I appreciate it is still a learning process…even if this time we are de-structuring a complex model to its basic elements that everybody can do. We are still pioneers…even though our journey is to return to simplicity and core democratic values.


My plan is to call people four times with the invitation to watch the amazing videos…or leave voice mail messages.


For those who respond, it will be my privilege to share OYC’s liberating message:

How simple is it to replicate a successful home business:


build a home business team first for $9 a month..own your own distribution channel and when ready..move into residual profits..again and again..

Who will put their life (and liberty) on hold for $9 month?


For those who do not respond..it is my sincere wish…that in time, curioisity, and tempered assumptions,  they, too, will take a look.


That is the nature of human nature..similar to this an anaolgy


"A group of tourists sits in a bus that is passing through gorgeously beautiful country; lakes and mountains and green fields and rivers. But the shades of the bus are pulled down. They do not have the slightest idea of what lies beyond the windows of the bus...squabbling over who will have the seat of honor in the bus..applauded..considered. And so they remain till the journey's end." Anthony de Mello


You are invited to watch an amazing revolutionary video.
Your questions and comments are important. Let's talk about what you hope to achieve with a successful home business.

Serious Questions Need Truthful Answers about Network Marketing Home Business

Serious questions need truthful answers about network marketing home business





What if, I can show you how you can start to build a home business for $9 a month with the potential of making thousands per month…then doubling or even tripling that income with no extra effort?


There is only ONE way you can logically achieve this potential..through the concepts of leverage and duplication found only in the network marketing home business industry.


Now..you may already have some opinions about network marketing or MLM (personal or hearsay)..also known as direct consumer marketing or referral marketing.


You may have heard a truckload of criticisms BUT also, at the same time, you may have wondered how people continue to make “truckloads of money” working from home...and how can I make it work for me and my family.

The exciting news is that this time-proven industry has naturally evolved with new technologies and brand new changes. You now have the option of re-evaluating your options:

a reverse equation…a change of sequence has emerged…and this will make all the difference.



QUESTION: What is the one simple truth about network marketing?


ANSWER: The one simple truth is this: Your income is determined by the size of your team. Small team… Small money. Big team… BIG money! And it’s true for EVERY company, regardless of their market or product. Some companies do pay better than others but this fact is true for EVERY company.


QUESTION: What is the most important thing I need to do?


ANSWER: The most important thing to focus on is to how to build a team because the size of your team is the ONLY factor that determines your paycheck. If you can’t build a team..why bother with hype and training?


QUESTION: Shouldn't I focus on selling product(s) as the most important thing?


ANSWER: It’s critically important to build a team FIRST BEFORE trying to sell product


Make sure your team or sales channel is in place. You can’t sell products with an imaginary team.


QUESTION: How do I build a home business team first?


ANSWER: A new company called Own Your Channel will provide the infrastructure you need to grow your team first OUTSIDE (independently) of any specific network marketing company.


QUESTION: What are the benefits of having your own home based team?




ANSWER: You now have ownership of your own team..it is your own sales distribution channel if you wish. You are now able to use it for more than one product from one company. You can now earn money from multiple network marketing companies using the same team.
PS..Where do you think Walmart would be today if they had spent all that money building stores and then decided to sell a single product from a single company?


QUESTION: How can I double or triple (or more) my money with the same effort?


ANSWER: You only have to build your team or channel ONCE. Because you are independent of any single company you may join other companies. For example, let’s say over time you join 4 companies with your team. You will have quadrupled your profits and it didn’t take any more effort to build four companies than it did for one. That’s a heck of lot easier than quadrupling the number of people on your team…agree?


Brilliant logic and compensation!

QUESTION: Agree, sounds very logical and brilliant and I can sure use some extra cash and definitely some long-term security. By the way, how much is this going to cost me..


ANSWER: $24 to register for back office management and then a mere $9 a month. You can build your team cheaply and quickly. When you are ready with large enough numbers, then you can plug into a network marketing company and make money from Day1.


QUESTION: How do I get started? I’m ALL in..I won’t put my life's potential on hold for $9 a month.


ANSWER: Why don’t you first check out some more information about Own Your Channel at my website:


There are a couple of short videos explaining this business in detail. It’s literally changing the market. I’m looking forward to anwering any questions or comments.

How to Start Home Business..two serious conclusions about network marketing and a brand new idea

How to start Home business..two serious conclusions about network marketing and a brand new idea..part 1




There have been many blogs here about the network marketing model as the greatest simple home business. We have talked about the founding principle, three main business concepts, a simple marketing formula as well as things to watch for and things to run away from. We have looked at network marketing from different channels but never from owning your own channel…it’s a “road not taken” yet..and this will make all the difference.

Network marketing as a viable business model has much to offer, but first a major problem needs to be addressed..

How difficult is it to sponsor people directly into mlm companies?
Is this the reason why it seems nearly impossible for the average person to succeed?

Thank goodness, no one can assume they know it all and learning is progress..so here are TWO serious conclusions from a friend and mentor about a simple, effective answer. Learn  how you can start a network marketing home business to ensure success on your terms.


Conclusion #1:


My first conclusion was this: no matter what the company is or what products it ships or what markets it targets, there is one thing that is true for EVERY network marketing company. And that is,

 THE SIZE OF YOUR TEAM DETERMINES THE SIZE OF YOUR CHECK!!!


Since network marketing, like any business, is based on sales volume, it is safe to say no other variable even comes close to approaching the importance of the size of your team. Yes, some companies pay better than others and that no one wants to sell snake oil, but the truth is that the best product in the world can’t replace a large and active distribution channel. No real business would buy product and then warehouse that product while they developed a distribution channel. They’d build the channel first, and then buy the product.


Conclusion #2:


My second conclusion was that spending time and money building a large distribution channel (or sales channel) couldn’t be justified if the business model required selling a single product from a single company. Where would Sam Walton be today if he had spent billions of dollars building Walmart Supercenters all over the country only to put a single product on the shelf? He’d be out of business. Why do we assume we can do what he could not do? In other words, building a business around a single company is seriously flawed.

 If we are going to build a sales team (or channel), we should maximize our investment and put multiple products on the shelf.

So the results of my research are:


1. There is no other factor as important as the size of your team or sales channel. The size of your team determines the size of your check. Because of this fact, it seems to be putting the cart before the horse by joining a company before you start building your team.


2. You cannot justify the expense of building a sales channel (team or downline) if you plan to sell a single product from a single company.


A new idea is born:


It all boils down to one simple truth: if you have a big enough team, you'll make money in ANY network marketing company.

“Own Your Channel” (OYC) has created an entirely new approach to solve this problem. Instead of finding a company and then building our team, we first build our team and then find multiple companies that want access to OUR channel. In other words..

 you keep your asset..your team. It may be the only team you may ever have to build.



We invite you to check this new business concept over wisely..it is brilliantly logical to multiply maximum compensation..it is grassroots capitalism like it was meant to be from the beginning..


1. Start a business with almost no financial risk


2. Build a large direct sales organization (channel) that you control


3. Use that channel to distribute multiple products from multiple companies


4. Achieve your financial goals by taking the power (and the money) away from corporate America and putting it back in the pockets of the people who are actually doing all the work




Here is the roadmap to take back small business ownership in America! Come join us, and learn how you can participate in the dream of self-determination and financial independence.
