Meet The 21st Century Network Marketer With 8 Power Steps For Success

Meet the 21st century Network Marketer with 8 power tips for success.
There is an exciting brand of network marketer in this New Age rising from the basement of old network marketing companies. The new networker is embracing a laser-focus single Big Idea that cuts through the clutter of everything that can divert the prospects' attention. And the prospects for the first time in their mind can see an insatiable clear picture of living life on their terms.



Gone, buried as sad experiences and archived are the stultified ways of Old Age MLM home business. Who needs multiple autoshipments, meticulously complicated pay plans, mandatory product knowledge and the frustratingly mad pursuit of other distributors not so eager to duplicate an unmanageable heavy-duty workhorse.

A brand new core concept for network marketing has emerged that makes any other competition irrelevant because the issues have been resolved upfront and excuses have been removed. However, the 3 main principles of network marketing continue intact, powerful and productive; namely, the power of leverage, the duplication of a simple marketing plan and the benefits of a residual or royalty income.


The enlightened networker can now incorporate eight powerful steps to share an exciting different kind of home-based opportunity that is plugged into the internet's future major trends.




Part One looks at the new characteristics of the future networkers and entrepreneurs.

Part Two outlines a perfect home business program that fits this new reality.


Power Step One: Present Something Of New Value Not Heard Of Before.
It is time to cut through the promotional clutter with an offering that stops people in their tracks. This is a new technology, a marketing breakthrough to get a desired result. Ultimately it has a new value that your prospects haven't seen or been aware of before.


Power Step Two: Be the First to Present An Original Big Idea.
Everyone likes to find out about a new secret or a hidden discovery that others don't know about. It's a form of social currency, feeling like you know some good news that others don't know. It's a first to market advantage and a better way of achieving your financial goals.


Power Step Three: Help Prospects Reach Their Goals.
Ultimately, your core concept isn't about your product or service. It's about your prospects. It's about paying careful attention to their beliefs, feelings, and desires, meeting their needs, and improving their lives.


Power Step Four: Make It A Bold And Striking Breakthrough.
This is a major shift in thinking that does not support a mild interesting let-me-think-about-it viewpoint. Your prospects' response should be, "What did you say? Please tell me more...Right now!" They already connect the benefits in their lives and just want to find out more.


Power Step Five: Be Supported by Proof.
People want the testimonials of others who have achieved the results they also want. Most have heard the logical argument that depending on a boss for your lifestyle goals has problems. But they want real peoples' stories of self-employment or self- generated personal incomes. If they can do it, so can I.


Power Step Six: Be Easy to Explain, Simple To Do and Even Easier For Your Prospects To Grasp.
The Big Idea needs to be stated in a sentence or two. Remember, everybody these days is overloaded and overwhelmed. So in order to break through the mental fog in your prospects' minds, it's got to feel to be easy and simple. In fact, your prospects should be able to easily restate your Big Idea in their own minds or words in a minute or two. That'll only happen if it's easy for them to grasp.


Power Step Seven: Abdicate from Previous Failures And Avoid Excuses.
Make sure your prospects understand it wasn't their fault for not succeeding in the past or getting stuck in a poor job. Traditional network marketing has been overly complicated and difficult for average people to duplicate in order to make residual profits. This new model is different and when done correctly with 3 steps, failures are minimized and successes are maximized.


Power Step Eight: Deliver Better, Faster, Cheaper Value to Prospects.
The company, affiliation, service or product will give your prospects their desired result either better, faster, more cheaply, or with more certainty of success than any other alternative. This way, your product or service really becomes the default choice, and your prospects would need to be certifiably insane to pass up on what you're offering.



PART TWO: So how does The Shopping Genie meet all these criteria for this New Network Marketing Powerhouse…let me say, with perfection and admiration.






Step 1: VALUE. Compare prices…save and shop online or offline...never pay full price again for anything.


Step 2: FIRST. My Shopping Genie is a four year old company…well established…top Alexa ranking…but still a relatively new enterprise.


Step 3: HELP. People want to save money in a tight economy. You get access to millions of sales, discounts, coupons and free offers. Who wants to throw their money away or ever pay full price again?


Step 4: BOLD BENEFITS. Compare best deals in seconds...rides on top of major search engines...make Pay Per Click Income even without a team.


Step 5: TESTIMONIALS. Listen to shoppers who saved hundreds of dollars monthly and more. Why not your family? Also, hear about how much distributors are making and the extraordinary potential of getting paid nine ways.


Step 6: SIMPLE. The Business Plan has 3 Steps every one can do. Can you share a number, invite to a webinar, and do a live demo on the computer to show the kind of savings and earnings your prospects can make?


Step 7: NO EXCUSES. No cost to download and enjoy savings.Let professionals tell and sell the benefits. Keep it simple 3 Steps Plan.


Step 8: BETTER and FASTER. Who do you know wants to save money? Who do you know wants to make money…no need to change habits, subsidize training, or spend money up front to try it out.




In summary, My Shopping Genie is a recession proof, no-brainer home business for our modern times. The major trends are information distribution and online advertising, shopping and saving. You still may say "nay" but not because you failed to check out an important webinar.
My sincere hope for you and your family is to register for the webinar today so you have the chance to learn about ALL the benefits of My Shopping Genie such as co-branding for small business owners and fund-raising for non-profit organizations.

The dawning of a new generation of networkers is a beautiful thing to behold and welcome, finally, a fair and democratic home business opporrtunity for every family.

How Own Your Channel Makes Me a Better Networker, and it can help your success,too

How Own Your Channel makes me a better network marketer, and it can help your success, too





I just came across a statement signed “with love” from a networker praising his mentor for his video which lasted 77 minutes and resulted in his writing 3 pages of notes!


What’s the next step..passing this information to a friend or prospect and expecting him or her to repeat the “love message,” watch the long video and arduously take notes as well.


Is this what creating and supporting a home business team is all about?


Been there, done that, and only a few hardy souls ventured into this kind of hard-to-duplicate downline.

Now that I have the foresight and good fortune to be part of the independent Own Your Channel, I would never inflict that kind of programming on anyone again.


Own Your Channel has opened two main considerations for all networkers:


1. How do we sponsor a team member?


2. What does it mean to be part of a team?



First, how do we sponsor a team member?


We invite people to join their own independent home business team.


The cost is $9 a month ($24 initial set up fee for back office set-up)


The emphasis is on a better lifestyle and more time freedom and financial security. At this point, it’s not about products, companies, payplans, bonuses, testimonials


We ask some basic questions and listen to why people are looking for a change..

1. How serious are you about doing something better with your life? ...Very ...Maybe ....Not


Would you put your family’s life on hold for $9 a month?


2. Here are 2 videos to watch....introductory...whole story.
 Have you ever seen anything like this before?


3. Do you know 3 other people also interested in good health and making some extra money from home…

Second, what does it mean to be part of a supportive home business team?

Network marketing is the only home business model that allows every person who wants a successful home business to start with minimal capital and earn residual profits based on leverage and duplication.


However, as can be seen by the opening statement..this fundamentally equal home-based opportunity for every body can be severely challenged by complicated, expensive, time-consuming information overload that simply can’t be replicated by regular everyday people busy making a living.


But don’t we also deserve an equal chance at a simple home business with the potential for fortune and freedom?


…we need to address doubts and depressions about an uncertain economy


…we have simple tools…phone, computer, handshake, smile


…we have people skills and empathy to help others


…we can learn new skills and reflect on goals, improvement and dreams


…we can experience a simple to follow system without volumes of details


…we believe in asking, giving, sharing and receiving


My wish for my team members is not long arduous videos and pages of notes followed by more internet “magnetic branding” exercises.


My wish for my team members is to listen to each other…to recognize each other with stories of success..to believe in winning together..to inspire a personal empowerment in all areas of living.


Network marketing companies give us the vehicle by which to make money..but it is our team spirit and dreams that drive it.


Denis Waitley says the best credo for building a home business team…


The five most important words a leader can speak are: “I am proud of you.”


The four most important are: “What is your opinion?”


The three most important are: “If you please.”


The two most important are: “Thank you.”


And the most important single word of all is: “You!”


This Own Your Channel opportunity has opened a new world of friendships, partnerships and prosperity. It starts with a simple question: How serious are you about doing something better with your life and family’s life?


Watch the videos. Guaranteed..you will not look at another network marketing opportunity the same way again. Your comments and questions are always welcome.

Home Business in Network Marketing..the Second Most Important Word to Make Profits

Home Business in Network Marketing..the Second Most Important word to make Profits
..stop the frustration..


Make sure you get this statement loud and clear..

Network marketing home business is based on 3 UNIQUE CONCEPTS that are different from any other home business... LEVERAGE   DUPLICATION   DEMOCRATIC MARKETING


Get this right..expand your possibilities, and those you partner with.. limited only by your vision for your family's financial independence

Get this wrong..and you will flounder, as will your partners, to a wall of depressing excuses and possible dead end. It is the uninformed leading the uninformed.. or the hyped leading the
short-termed hyped. This doesn’t work. And the last great free enterprise system of equal opportunity will disappear in a puff of frustration and denigration.


The most important word in a network marketing home business is LEVERAGE to maximize your time and knowledge by sharing information tools by experts. For example, listening to a doctor with over 20 years valuable expertise in the nutritional field will have its own residuall benefits, undoubtedly.

Now, what if you want to share this valuable information and make some income as well….Then you need to harness the second most important word DUPLICATION.

Your income potential depends directly on your duplication system.

You must be able to duplicate the upline and your downline must be able to duplicate you.

Its not the company, product, compensation plan, marketing tools, master minds or 3-way calls.

How would you explain the term duplication to other people? Here are a few starting pointers:
Duplication in network marketing:
  • main obstacle that stands in your way of passive income
  • the foundation of any hope for passive residual income
  • based on your efforts to follow your upline to help and grow your downline
  • key to new people is to see that the system is easy to run..a streamline system where everything is done the same way, over and over again
  • process with all links operating the same way..if broken..often means loss of organization and loss of income
  • can function well with simple steps or be a doomed process when people don’t follow upline’s direction or try to re-invent the wheel
What kind of standard marketing systems are there?
These days, most systems include some sort of online marketing tool since most people have access to the internet, or else a multi-media tool like a DVD or a CD for people to listen to. Then there are group conference calls to plug into, and the three way calls with your upline. There are also systems to drive prospects smoothly along the process, which is as hands off for the network marketer as possible.
 
The one system I strongly recommend running away from is where you are expected to BRAND yourself as an expert. Avoid these kinds of frustrated calls for help from your downline:
 
 I have been trying for 4 months and have spent over $6000 on ads, radio, newspaper, purchased 300 leads, Prewebb articles, bandit signs, and have gotten over 700 prospects to talk with but it is very evident that I need to be able to keep the flow going without spending the money.
The other alternative is to make money when my website is viewed to fund my expenses such as you have laid out. I am not very internet savy so I need specific help to how your plan works and how to get it up and running."
 
And the response from his mastermind guru:
 
So here's my advice...
A jack-of-all-trades is a master of none.
In order for you to produce leads at a reasonable cost, (which is from $1.00 to $5.00 per lead), you have to pick ONE single method of advertising, and stick with it until you master it.
And I'd say you've "mastered" something, when you can produce as many leads as you want, at the cost you want, AND be able to teach that skill to someone else.
You can choose from:
• Pay-Per-Click (Google Adwords)
• SEO (articles and blogs),
• Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube)
 
 
How frustrating, debilitating and unnecessary is this?
 
TO CONCLUDE: Make sure you get this statement loud and clear...
 
Network marketing home business is based on 3 UNIQUE CONCEPTS that are different from any other home business. LEVERAGE   DUPLICATION
DEMOCRATIC MARKETING
 
Make sure you are part of a team that follows a simple 3 Steps Duplication Process
 
It takes less than 30 minutes to check out a few previous blogs with a few simple steps.

Some business philosophy from a young alder to an elder about network marketing home business

Some Business Philosophy from a young alder to an old elder…what really matters for network marketing home business success..

There is so much energy about a successful home business floating around me, that I find connections in almost everything I see and think.

I love to garden in my spare time…there is something primeval and universal about digging the soil, planting a tiny seed, and watching a mature plant evolve bearing fruit or vegetables.

Of course, in organic soil, farm unpasteurized manure, there will appear weeds so weeding becomes a necessity just as having to clean pots and pans if you wish to prepare for the next delicious meal.

Now you have to picture my garden..it is built within two walls set into a hillside…The walls are built from hollowed out concrete blocks. The hollow parts have been filled with pebbles for weight and stability. And granted over the years some dirt may have settled through the pebbles to rest on another open block.

Now the other day while weeding, I paid more attention to an alder seedling, a baby tree, growing out of the hole in one of top blocks. The wonder was that there was anything inside the hole to support growth of any kind..but here was this little broad leaved tree with the will to start the impossible. Survival here depended on the sparest of circumstances with minimal soil and nutrients. But somehow it had taken root and developed a series of branches now standing about a foot above the cement block.

Whether or not, I chopped it down…you will have to read more..

The code to survive..the code to live.. to expand beyond the seed.
Being a tree, it has a genetic code that synthesizes with the sun, water and minerals in the soil.. There was no subconscious thinking that it wouldn’t be able to grow here. Nothing hindered it’s presence with a little support of soil and water.

But we are human and beyond our common cellular structures of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and minerals, we also have strong wills to survive, to live, to expand beyond the basics, to fulfill potential of doing all we can do within a limited timeline.


Being human, we also have evolved genetic neural codes based on far more powers of moving, thinking, and imagining. We have a conscious and a subconscious mind that is often stronger than the reality around it. It is our subconscious mind filled with old habits, like conditioned robots, that will stop us if it thinks we are not capable of doing something. We use logic to measure what our journey may be like without actually doing it. We grow tendrils of self-esteem that will help to flower our ambitions or wither them at the bud.

Being human, we stop and admire even a young alder’s strong will for survival in the poorest of conditions. There were no excuses as to why it shouldn’t try...and even succeed beyond it's cement enclosure.

Being human, we grow and analyze our excuses. You may think a profitable home business will not grow for you for a variety of reasons. Maybe you think I’m a victim of poor and unfortunate circumstances. I don’t have good enough skills. I don’t deserve more. I can live fairly happily within limitations.

But a home based business opportunity can start even with the most basic of circumstances.. the simplest of tools..and yield a magnificient enterprise.
Like the little alder seedling, there is no need for fancy places, extravagant expenses, or elaborate husbandry.

All you really need are three basic elements found in the viral home business formula.


Profits = leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

You have a Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits that synthesizes the main facts
You have a simple 3 steps plan you can read and share..like water..it is easy to absorb
You have the true fortune-creation key with duplication in a network marketing
home business.

In the end, the little alder was chopped down by a very sorry elder. But its message will always be

Make your life a masterpiece..imagine no limitations on what you can be, have or do…Brian Tracy
Questions and comments are always welcome..what kinds of circumstances are circumscribing your potential to be all that you can...

Home Business..viral marketing described..no more put-downs, ever again

Home business...viral marketing described ..no more put-downs,ever again.. part 6

In the last few blogs, you have been introduced to a viral marketing formula for a network marketing home-based business. A couple of people have questioned the meaning of viral marketing..and this is a good thing. We undoubtedly also share the feeling that there is far too much hype on the Internet today ...so how do you separate the useful information from the buzz and what to believe.

You will also read a contrasting statement from attraction marketing that I consider a put-down… a literal slap in the face that I will not accept anymore, never again.

First, what is viral marketing:

  • a method of advertising products or services by passing a message to friends, associates and family members
  • the message creates exposure and potential for geometric growth to 100’s or 1000’s or more people
  • this exponential exposure with extremely low cost and time efficiency grows quickly


Second, how does Viral Marketing work...based on a single product or message

  • must be as low cost as possible
  • must provide tangible, measurable benefits
  • must be easily transferred throughout the target community
  • speed of duplication is based on simplicity and value


Third, why Viral Marketing can build Your Network Marketing Home Business

  • based on successful duplication of simple plan..nothing complicated or too expensive
  • does not rely on the skill set or knowledge base of your team members
  • benefits have tangible value so nobody has to convince or sell anybody
  • delivery is highly time efficient so everybody can do it
  • speed of growth adds excitement and value to product or tool


So, in summary, viral marketing has tremendous potential in sharing worthy products and / or services that create results and excitement that everybody should be able to do or duplicate.

In effect, this is the essence of network marketing to achieve massive duplication and potential growth to help people and communities.


So, here is a statement from an internet millionaire that raises my temperature like a hot day on the lake because it splashes cold water all over the potential of viral marketing. And, I must confess that there was an earlier time when I would have wilted with a blistering comment like this, actually thinking “I can’t do this”…but not anymore.

He makes some valid points about gaining long-term knowledge based on initial failures and the big goal of becoming a master networker and copywriting specialist that takes time, dedication and money ($100,000 over 10 years plus $1000’s more monthly for training).
Then he makes this comment (paraphrased):


You can be successful in network marketing if ONLY (his emphasis) you have the right personality AND you are willing to establish yourself as a leader. You see… in network marketing, you WILL have to talk to people.
So, if you do not ENJOY talking to people (and, yes, selling) you should not be in MLM or network marketing!

I’m glad I can simmer down because it’s only one point of view, although commonly shared by several gurus engaged in self-branding or attraction marketing. But, from my experience, it is my choice not to let this one comment block my goals for a successful home business using a simple formula as a basis for viral marketing.


PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

P = LM + DP x D

1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE…professional message easily shared with people

2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN...simple 3 steps marketing plan that everybody CAN DO. Can you read and share…if you’re not a great speaker, how about an average reader or better?

3. DUPLICATION…key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, time efficient and practical for everyone to use.

Check the previous blogs for more details

In conclusion, you will also need to make a stand and the viewpoint you want to take.

The value of a profitable home business, more income, more time freedom is immeasurable.

Will you limit it by an attraction marketing proposition that only the “big talkers” have the right to succeed?

Or will you believe in the democratic right of viral marketing to spread the good news that every family deserves a successful home business in tough economic times.

Questions and comments are always welcome.

I am committed to your viral home business success.

Home Business review: how one formula, one decision can change your life

Home business review..how one decision, one formula, one day can change your life..Part 5


In the last 4 blogs we have looked at a home business based on network marketing principles. We have compared two different home business marketing plans. We have drawn on the wisdom of a personal vision (Denis Waitley) and the gift of time (Brian Tracy). We have minimized the parts that are difficult and maximized the main features that determine volume of cash flow unique to this special home business model.


Two exclusive features stand out:
  • distribution model where average people can start a home business at low cost with high earning potential through leverage of time and expertise
  • duplication model where a defined marketing plan determines high earning potential through a simple sharing process..I Can Do This..You Can Do This…


We described a formula that meets the criteria..simple, efficient, comprehensive, low cost, with unlimited residual profits.

You have to make a decision now. What will it take? What if one decision can change everything for you. Some people wait years, decades, even their entire lifes hoping that something will change…to hope boldly what others may not believe. But you can't put hope into your wallet.

What about if all your waiting and hoping can be found in one unsuspecting moment. One realization, one action, one seemingly insignificant step can put you on a completely different path ... and ultimately fashion your own dreams.

The good news is you don't have to wait for some external circumstances to activate them. You have the power to create the kind of conditions you want to transform your life. This is your life’s journey and only you can run the course to the best of your abilities and self-worth. The switches are yours to start or stop.

What is stopping you from starting:

  • a personal evaluation that circumstances in your life are less than ideal
  • own personal emotion that you are worthy of something more, you deserve better for yourself and your family
  • personal beliefs that you are a strong and ethical and you will not allow excuses to control your life potential
  • laser-like focus on the time..there will never be a better time to act because the word IF doesn’t exist in reality, just in shadowy doubts of your mind


Take the action as soon as possible, before the feeling passes and before the idea dims ….without action, the wisdom is wasted… Jim Rohn


Take the action today, right now, to plug into a profitable home business based on an extraordinary wellness product ..a win-win situation from every facet.


Start to “employ” a SIMPLE FORMULA for a DEMOCRATIC MARKETING PLAN



PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

P = LM + DP x D


The best way to visualize it is as a straight line going from where you are to where you want to be. The theory is that the more material you produce, the longer the process, the more objections, the less duplication, the less profits


1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE
…use professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are

2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN
…network marketing is based on the founding principle that average people with above average dreams can start a low-cost, part-time home business and can earn potential high profits based on the principle of duplication I CAN DO This..YOU CAN DO THIS

3. DUPLICATION
...the key to high profits in network marketing is the duplication of a simple marketing system. The key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.

How fair, democratic with unlimited potential is this.

Questions and comments are always welcome about what works, or doesn’t, for you..or why procrastinations are controlling your life.

Poverty mentality is a wasted life surrounded by abundance..

As a special treat, the following excerpt is by Jim Rohn, one of the best known business philosophers.

The Time to Act

by Jim Rohn

Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the
ability to take action. You don't need to be hasty if it isn't
required, but you don't want to lose much time either. Here's the
time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.

Let's say you would like to build your library. If that is a strong
desire for you, what you've got to do is get the first book. Then
get the second book. Take action as soon as possible, before the
feeling passes and before the idea dims. If you don't, here's what
happens -

- YOU FALL PREY TO THE LAW OF DIMINISHING INTENT -

We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to do
something when the emotion is high. But if we don't translate that
intention into action fairly soon, the urgency starts to diminish.
A month from now the passion is cold. A year from now it can't be
found.

So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high and
the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody talks about
good health and you're motivated by it, you need to get a book on
nutrition. Get the book before the idea passes, before the emotion
gets cold. Begin the process. Fall on the floor and do some
push-ups.

You've got to take action; otherwise the wisdom is
wasted. The emotion soon passes unless you apply it to a
disciplined activity. Discipline enables you to capture the emotion
and the wisdom and translate them into action. The key is to
increase your motivation by quickly setting up the disciplines. By
doing so, you've started a whole new life process.

Here is the greatest value of discipline: self-worth, also known as
self-esteem. Many people who are teaching self-esteem these days
don't connect it to discipline. But once we sense the least lack of
discipline within ourselves, it starts to erode our psyche. One of
the greatest temptations is to just ease up a little bit. Instead
of doing your best, you allow yourself to do just a little less
than your best. Sure enough, you've started in the slightest way to
decrease your sense of self-worth.

There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect
starts as an infection. If you don't take care of it, it becomes a
disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of all, when
neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.

Once this has happened, how can you regain your self-respect? All
you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline that
corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment: "I will
discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the years ahead I
can celebrate my successes."

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Home Business..compare TWO marketing formulas in network marketing: to attract or to duplicate

Home business: compare two marketing formulas: to attract or to duplicate ..Part 2

Our lesson today is to compare two different marketing plans for the network marketing home business. It is based on one of my favorite classroom lessons called COMPARE and CONTRAST using a comprehension frame called a Venn Diagram.


If you have a pencil or pen, you can draw two large circles, making sure they overlap in the middle. There are now 3 subsets created for network marketing home business plans…

PART A will be for details that are different for an attraction marketing plan

PART B will be for details that are different for a democratic marketing plan

PART C is the intersection with words that are common to both marketing plans

To start, let's introduce the formulas first and then describe them more fully.

The formula for PLAN A ... attraction marketing plan


PROFITS = internet marketing + branding + advertising + mailing lists + sales

P= IM + B + A + ML+ S


The formula for PLAN B ... democratic marketing plan

PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

P = LM + DP x D


PART A:
Let's take a closer look at how the ATTRACTION MARKETING FORMULA works. The best way to visualize it is as a multi-layer marketing funnel. The theory is that the more hoops people jump through, the more qualified they become to buy from you..
Here is how to make profits.. .

1. Internet marketing..nothing happens until more people see your website.
  • best traffic stream is the power of social media to build relationships with people.. It is considered free but has anyone ever counted the hours it takes to socialize and prove your expertise to someone else trying to prove they know more? What a merry-go-round!
  • other options are to use search engines, pay- per- cick ad campaigns,surf exchanges and othe traffic generation methods


2. Branding...become an expert (YOU INCORPORATED)

  • set yourself apart as an compelling expert so others will want to do business under your leadership. This "magnetic " self- branding will take many stages.
  • begin building your expertise by writing articles, blog posts, videos, emails, etc.
  • advance to guest speaking at webinars, write ebooks and even coaching home study courses. Once you’re a master guru you can conduct full blown in-person seminars and joint venture with other gurus
  • gradually progress to create more advanced content to become more of a leader so you can build the biggest lists, control the traffic and maximize leads

3. Advertising..motivate people to buy your product by closing the sale. Advertising media on is a multi-step process with many OK’s to agree to go to next step

  • best way is to become a master at writing good copy
  • prepare ads that people want to read
  • learn motivational subject lines to open your emails
  • click on the links in your emails
  • read your articles or blog posts
  • watch your videos (and continue watching them)
  • ultimately buy your product


4. Mailing Lists...finding and continually building your list of prospects is a science

  • WHERE TO GET THEM..glowing referral from another marketer … pay-per-click … facebook account … purchased opportunity leads…traffic exchanges...safe mailing list
  • WHAT KIND of prospects…regular followers of your opt-in messages (single or double), splash page or squeeze page information
  • WHY DO THEY FOLLOW YOU..give them extra value..follow-up consistently...build a list first, then a downline

5. Sales is simple if you offer products that relate to your prospects needs

  • plug into affiliate programs and help market their products
  • develop your own products
    (must work because the promoters of this program made 1.3 million dollars in 3 days)


PART B
Let’s take a look at how a DEMOCRATIC MARKETING FORMULA works.
The best way to visualize it is as a straight line going from where you are to where you want to be. The theory is that the more material you produce, the longer the process, the more objections, the less duplication, and less profits.

1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE

  • leverage is the most important word in building a business asset
  • professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are


2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN

  • network marketing is based on the founding principle that average people with above average dreams can start a low-cost, part-time home business
  • potential to earn high residual profits are based on the principle of duplication.. I CAN DO THIS... YOU CAN DO... EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS


3. DUPLICATION

  • key to high profits in network marketing is the massive duplication of a simple marketing system..not selling so many bottles or boxes of products
  • key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide that explains how this unique business concept works.
  • key is ONE PROFESSIONAL TOOL that is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, built-in training, time efficient (one hour) and practical for everyone to use.



How fair and democratic is this. Who can realistically say..I CAN NOT DO THIS!


PART C

What are the common words to both Attraction Marketing and Democratic Marketing?

simple to pick out: network marketing, home business, people, success, profits,

IN CONCLUSION…Get the basic facts about how this unique home-based industry works best and make an informed choice to follow:

Formula A: P= IM + B + A + ML + S


Formula B: P = LM + DP x D



It is the words that are different that will make or break your success in this great home business…It is the formula that will make a long, hard and expensive journey or an simple affirmation we all deserve more on an equal playing field.

Your questions, comments are always welcome. An educational debate is always healthy.

Home Business Blog Destined to go Viral with Einstein-Like Formula

The Home business Blog Destined to go Viral with Einstein-like Formula ...Part One

What if one formula based on one program can change the face of network marketing forever:

1. more networkers will be successful based on the founding grassroots principle…
2. more public will better informed about sound business principles and improve their perception.

The time has come to bring this network marketing home business together as one whole.
No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come..Victor Hugo

One system can formulate the democratic right of every person for home business success based on the proven BIG business concept of EQUAL DUPLICATION.

It can be called destiny, a universal affirmation, when huge changes energize a huge field of possibilities of abundance not scarcity. The gateway is education and empowerment.

BE VISIONARY… in adapting to inevitable changes in a changing economy where our world of tomorrow will be very different from our past and present world.

BE PRACTICAL… in a fair democratic way because we are all in this world together with varying conditions with varying reasons, but the opportunity must be equal with no physical obstacles and no excuses.

USE VIRAL MARKETING…to help open a safe, like-minded community of home business owners based on a professional presentation and a simple to follow plan for success

The difference then will be what you decide outside the gate:
1. Go back
2. Stay where you are and hope that things will get better.
3. Walk through and get informed.

Over the last few months numerous blogs have been written about the network marketing home business model…what makes it work, or not. They weren’t about any company, product or compensation plan, or leadership teams.
They were based on the founding principle that average people with above average dreams can start a low-cost home business with high earning potential and make a difference.


You can read the entire log of blogs or here is a short overview of several themes explored:

...why you need a simple people-friendly plan

...why attraction marketing strategies can’t duplicate democratically with masses

...why two goals are all you really need to determine ambition, success, residual income, salesmanhip, communication skills, leadership quotient

...why education and self-empowerment must precede financial outcomes

...why excuses must not have mastery and how to eradicate them

...why a "golden ticket" is our right to sing and celebrate the best we can be

We even took some side trips to a gift of wisdom from the 1900’s, an old classic tale of perseverance, how to ditch the Doll (Barbie) for the Standards, a lesson in the 3-step shuffle and 10-step Cha-Cha-Cha, motorcycle maintenance, gold-panning, garlic toast and goulash, Will Rogers and more

These blogs were written in the context of today’s network marketing home-based industry...

..something’s not working where only a small minority of networkers are successful

..something’s not right where public perceptions are biased, often based on these failures while still maintaining curiosity about how so many millionaires continue to be created.


What is out-of- balance needs to be brought back into BALANCE based on three simple proven business concepts.
Like Albert Einstein said..Insanity can be defined as doing something the same way over and over …and expecting different results…
You can’t fix problems with the same strategies that caused then in the first place”

Unlike Einstein…this isn’t rocket science.
We need something different…a revolutionary marketing plan with only 3 steps...more than 3 steps will not duplicate massively.

Introducing a new contender..the Einstein-like formula to shine brilliantly for everyone


P=lm + dpxd

Profits = leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication


What does this mean?

We are talking about a grassroots principle: simplicity = velocity = results (profits)

We are talking about the relativity of three essential proven business concepts based on residual income, leverage, and duplication.
These are the terms destined to become common household words...

Profits are based on residual income paid multiple times through multiple levels. The key here is that volume of profits is based on duplication of a simple marketing plan..

Leverage is using the MESSAGE as an information tool to tell the story for you without being there. The key here is to include a short, comprehensve curriculum guide that explains how network marketing works...eliminate objections, build self-belief

Duplication of a simple marketing plan is the process by which fortunes are made in this home business. The key is a DEMOCRATIC simple marketing plan that everybody who wants extra money can say "I CAN DO THIS."

You may be thinking “What’s new? I’ve heard all this before.”

What’s new and exciting is a Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits, a generic curriculum guide which is a vital component as a leveraged message because ONE TOOL
  • explains how network marketing works..main facts
  • includes personal development, the first step in new mindset
  • provides an inbuilt training resource, for your time flexibility
  • keeps an unbelievable low cost
  • shares important information in a most time effective way (one hour)


Gone are the 100’s of hours and 1000’s of dollars for training materials, consultants, technology.
How simple and democratic is that!


Summary:
Need a new vision and a practical way to achieve changes
Need practical education to format a fair and democratic home business program
Need to stand tall. Be proud. Understand that biography is not destiny.

It is not our conditions but our decisions that shape our lives most powerfully…A. Robbins

The saddest excuses for the greatest home business..and what you can do about them

The saddest excuses for the greatest home business

It is enough to break one’s heart when in a time of huge economic changes, including potential prosperity, one reads about excuses and failure rates.

I view the important world of change as an educator. It really doesn’t matter what the subject matter or learning objectives are. You start with the basic premise here is what I know and here is what I want to know. Next, you plug into lesson plans and resources to learn more, to become educated because, in my slightly biased opinion, there is nothing worse, than a narrow mind with tunnel vision trying to cope with status quo permanence in an atmosphere of perennial changes.
Now the education process may involve points of failure along the way but they are the stimuli to relearn, adapt , try something different, reformulate, rehearse..do whatever it takes to gain mastery of the subject matter.

And our school system allows 50% for a passing grade.

So, it breaks my heart, but not my spirit, to see such unacceptable failure rates in the network marketing home business…and it has to stop, along with the common excuses. You may read varying statistics; but, it is estimated as many as 90% of all network marketers ultimately fail, a huge percentage quitting in their first 3 months, and majority quitting within the first year of starting their business.

A huge percentage (80% plus) are women, according to the Direct Selling Assocation. And how, even more sadly, these home based business opportunities are lost by people naturally suited to this profession of caring for and helping others to succeed.

What is needed, more than ever, is a standard educational approach and program to explain the basics of network marketing and neutralize common excuses.


Most sadly of all, are the kinds of common excuses or roadblocks that crop up.
Here are some examples of personal excuses...beside each one in italics is an antidote simply addressed in a proper educational program:…

I’m afraid to fail or be rejected..
  • Rehearse simple daily affirmations to develop new self-belief habits
I don't want to face opposition from my family and friends
  • Show a concept map of how residual income works..they'// either "get it" or not. Become successful with a simple marketing plan and they'll invite you over to dinner..

don’t have leadership skills

  • share professional information tools that tell the story for you..this is a business model to duplicate "average" not "master leaders"

I find it hard to learn and move forward
  • simplify the learning curve to a one page business plan

I tend to procrastinate

  • set a time limit goal to focus on profitable activities..do a 6 month cash flow projection

I’m not sure who to talk to, who is interested

  • ..stress the main concepts of how to make money from home not product features
    People might say "no" to a product but not to a better lifestyle

I’m not sure how to offer value to prospects
  • present the invitation, the message as a proud associate of a great successful company…you can only offer the roadmap, vehicle and fuel. Become the success others wish to be with a simple, 3-step marketing plan

I’m not sure how to advertise or market

  • use technology for automatic auto responders and learn more about basic internet marketing

I’m not a sales person
  • understand this business is educating people about 3 main ways to make money from home with professional tools. You can’t sell your way to the top because others also won’t be able to. This business is duplicating a simple plan to the masses not reaching a sales quota

I’m not sure how to train other business partners
  • use inbuilt training tools..not your job to be a teacher but to share effective tools

I don’t have proper support from my “upline” sponsors

  • choose team members you like carefully but also be prepared to be a self-franchised home business entrepreneur with all necessary tools at your fingertips..Have Simple Marketing Plan will Succeed. Proper tools will also cut down on training, 3-ways, and conference calls.


Finally, in summary, let’s do educational justice to this unique home business concept based on the founding principle that every average person wih above average dreams can start a profitable home business with minimal capital and make a difference. Let’s reduce the failure rate by reducing the excuses with a comprehensive but simple curriculum guide that’s fair for all. Let’s “employ” a simple business marketing plan that duplicates with democratic masses.

Most of all, don't allow COMMON EXCUSES to gain mastery in your life!

Questions and comments are always welcome. A good “classroom” discussion is often where real education begins.

Face this blog's 10 Challenges or Cry Trying in your Home Business

Face this blog's 10 challenges or CRY TRYING re network marketing home business


Announcing... confirmation by top internet marketers about what I’ve been blogging about for months now.

Personal Branding strategies don’t work...

What are we talking about here?
Lets take one step back first…the context here is the network marketing home business. The majority of home business owners do take a serious look at plugging into a network marketing company. In a nutshell, as an independent member, you can access the product, research, top management, replicated website, marketing tools, accounting, and payment plan and bonuses.
Your "job" or purpose is to help market their product and earn residual commissions.


The keywords are help to market..the lifeblood of any business..
The key concept is duplication for residual income based on simple marketing plan.

So the majority of training programs are based on “branding” yourself..how to make YOU the branded leader that others want to follow. The main strategy may have been unique at one time and is commonly known as web 2.0 social marketing…writing articles, blogs, participating in forums, social sites, videos, e-books for funding proposals, list-building, traffic generation, teleseminars,etc. It seems in the last five years or so that a handful of marketing gurus have moved through these complicated ranks and managed to raise their success ratios with these strategies. Attraction marketing does work for a select few, but not for everyone. Now with resources and connections they are massively promoting the courses / programs at costs to other would-be entrepreneurs.

Personally, I have bought into the theory of YOU.INC or personal branding for a couple of years and even managed to hammer out a downline with superhuman effort. But how much time was wasted in these social communities, training sessions, and over-saturated traffic generations can’t be calculated..nor would I want to..too depressing. Instinctively, there were several signs that this process wasn’t working. However, the home business model was strong, functioning and believable. I even took the mountain of hard work and simplified it into a comprehensive and basic 3 steps marketing process that better fits this unique home business.

Now, I have finally heard from top internet marketers why personal branding doesn’t work anymore in the context of Web.2 social marketing..an ever-evolving marketplace.

The challenges to self-branded YOU.INC marketers are that they can’t get their teams to duplicate their success. Their approach doesn’t attract the masses:

  • information overload..too many resources, methodologies
  • too many parts and tactics… limited mastery of any
  • decrease of personal production with primary company in an overcrowded industry
  • way too time consuming...setting up training modules
  • no big picture overview..people need a trail of victory before they believe unconditionally
  • no duplication...people need the right basic tool for the job that every single person can do..I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! ..no excuses
  • profits and personal growth are decreased via competitive market
  • expensive factors in both time and costs in struggle to be successful vs simple equation
  • not friendly to beginners who can waste time and money doing extraneous expectations
  • continued public negative reaction to an opportunity based on democratic ideals but underpinned by personal branding mini-structures


In the end, this unique home based business built on a few network marketing principles needs a professional presentation that is simple to get started and duplicated, that provides a safe, like-minded community in which to interact and which promotes grassroots capitalism democratically where every person who wants a home business can have a profitable home business.

It is time we take this home-based business back to the masses.

Your frustrations, successes, questions and comments are always appreciated,

How to Apply ZEN to your Home Business..even if you don't ride a motorcycle

How to apply ZEN to your HOME BUSINESS even if you don’t ride a motorcycle

First, what is the meaning of ZEN…it’s a Japanese word based on ancient Chinese and Buddhist teachings where enlightedment can be attained through medidation and being in the moment NOW rather than contemplating past and future experiences. For the best definition, read the description at the end.

The famous book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" describes this interesting scenario.

Your motorcycle breaks down. In order to fix it, you need to open a little compartment in the engine. The compartment is held shut by a screw whose threads have been stripped off. You are unable to open it because of this so called insignificant little 10 cent screw.

"Normally screws are so cheap and small and simple you think of them as unimportant. But now, as your Quality awareness becomes stronger, you realize that this one, individual, particular screw is neither cheap nor small nor unimportant.”

"Right now this screw is worth exactly the selling price of the whole motorcycle, because the motorcycle is actually valueless until you can extract and replace the 10-cent screw…”
This seemingly insignificant ten cent apparatus has suddenly become very important in the total worth of your motorcycle or your home business. So you better be willing to learn more about it.

So if Zen philosophy can apply to a complex motorcycle, how can you apply it to a profitable home business. There are a number of ways:

  • Home business is a complex entity in its own right with several moving parts: products, customers, sales,costs, profits, advertising, accounts, service, time, ..just to name a handful. It is no wonder that so many home business entrepreneurs plug into large successful companies and help as their marketing arm. After all, why would you want to build a motorcycle from scratch when you can join a famous company and help promote their branded motorcycles?
  • Sales and marketing are the fuel that runs any business..like oil and gas run a motorcycle. No sales..no gas..no go. In fact, they may be considered the most hazardous parts.
    Once you fill up, you start a sequential process that can last for days or months. Everything that happens between the introduction and the sale is 100% important. Anything that interrupts this process can be fatal to your business or on the road.
  • Marketing tools may be compared to the screws that hold the various compartments together. They are typically the highest leverage activity in any business. Nothing happens until somebody sells something. In our special home business, they need to be as inexpensive and pratical as screws They are worthy of your devotion and dedication to use them correctly.
  • Do due diligence in your education and investment in how to master motorcycle roadmanship and / or home business. Be`wary of distractions who may try to stop your mastery. Go wherever you need to go, buy whatever you must buy, seek advice from whomever can provide it, until you achieve this mastery. Remember even a simple program can open the doors to a home business worth tens of thousands of dollars.
  • Be aware that sometimes "seemingly minor" aspects of marketing and sales are like that stripped 10-cent motorcycle screw: There can be one obstacle, one niggling thing that's driving you around the bend and standing in the way of a big breakthrough. In this special network marketing home business based on duplication of a simple business plan, this is a basic curriculum guide that democratic masses can use. Will you allow a $20 bill to stop your education and potential for an amzing journey?
  • Last, it is about the dream. Always remember, that people don’t buy a motorcycle because of all the features and benefits and salesmanship ..these are bits and pieces of the total picture. But the real reason to ride a motorcycle is to take the road, away from a cooped-up office, daily routines..to smell the leather, feel the wind in your hair as you sail through a town of onlookers..the new horizons..the adventure, the new sense of freedom.
    The real reason people believe in a network marketing home business is the freedom, financial independence and hope it gives when you get to the top of the mountain.
    .
    Whatever, you do, don’t stay ignorant. If you've never had a close look at the network marketing home business, check out these generic, educational videos.

Your questions and opinions are important. What "small things" mean a world of difference to you?

What is the Meaning of Zen by Rafael Espericueta

The word Zen has become part of the English language, but what exactly does it mean?

It’s much easier to answer the question “When is Zen?”, for that answer would have to be “Now!”. The whole point of Zen practice is to become fully aware, here and now. To come home to the present moment; this is truly where we live.

Thinking verbally takes us far into the past, or into the distant future. But both past and future are fantasies, since the future isn’t known and our memories of the past are often quite distorted accounts of what really happened. Zen exhorts one to “Come to your senses!”, for when we get lost in thoughts of the past or future, life passes us by.

When one mindfully dwells in the present moment, one completely dissolves into whatever activity manifests. One becomes the activity. Most people have had peak experiences, which all involve being so totally involved with life that one’s sense of separateness dissolves into the experience. Very Zen.

Cognitive scientists tell us that it takes about a third of a second for our brains to start thinking about a sensory experience (meaning verbally interpreting it). A third of a second is a vast chasm separating one from “right now”. A Zen master once proclaimed:
Lightening flashes, sparks fly!In one blink of the eye, you have missed seeing.

Living fully and authentically in the present moment makes each instant of one’s life a peak experience. Each moment is filled with a profound peace and clarity. Each moment is perceived to have infinite depth and significance, charged with magic and mystery, infinitely precious. Zen brings us face to face with our true original nature, undefiled by cultural conditioning and painful neurotic tendencies.

Words and concepts can be useful, but mistaking them for reality is a big mistake. Concepts about reality are not reality. The menu is not the food. Dissolving all ones preconceptions, beliefs, concepts, and judgments about ourselves and the universe, can be a very liberating experience. What a relief to let go of all that baggage! (Most or all of it is not true anyway.)
Simplicity is often associated with Zen. And Zen practice is indeed simple, if not easy. Just practice being fully present, right here, right now. Perceive directly, without filtering perceptions through beliefs and preconceptions. Dissolve into the eternal now, and realize that the Universe itself peers out through your eyes, hears through your ears, and breaths each breath. Unity beyond all conception. If not now, then when?

What works best for a network marketing home business...special builder or simple blueprint

What works best for a network marketing home business..a special magnetic builder or simple democratic blueprint?

Nothing else comes close to the potential of a network marketing home business for all the right reasons...leverage professional expertise, duplication, residual income cashflow, success, retirement security, lifetime independence. Once a networker always a networker because we don’t easily accept the status quo and dream of possibilities for our children and grandchildren.


I am still reaching for my dream aspirations but there is nothing finer than to sit and talk about potential and prosperity and what I can do_______ with time and money freedom. Sure beats complaining and worrying about economic circumstances that are beyond our control.

So it bothers me to see this industry over the years develop a dominant hierarchy as all institutions tend to do. A bit of calcification and "barnaclization" has set into this ship of state build on simple routines. And now it is the upper crust, the captains, if you wish, that are setting the standards for success based on their experiences, partnerships, resources and their money to buy massive advertising.

No wonder public perception keeps a wary eye on a home business model where only 3 to 5% are as successful as they wish. Would you start a home business with those odds..I hope not.

Another statistic is that 85% of successful networkers are former small business owners who are well experienced with standard business principles of marketing and communication which they can now transfer into a multiple-level arena and make multiple profits all the way to the bank.

Along with well-honed business skills, they can probably be described as having magnetic profiles capable of drawing others into their sphere of influence. Some “gurus” actually use the term “biological components” and label successful people as Demonstrators of Higher Value or DOVH’s.

Other regular people are termed as Demonstrators of Lower Value or DOLV’s. Can you believe this terminology is really happening and continues to appeal to those “alpha’ recruiters?

I don’t know about you but this definitely smacks of some kind of discrimination or inequality in an enterprise built on the foundation of democracy and freedom.

So here are some tips for DOVH’S to build and duplicate their home business. It is called “passing the test” and seems like a lot of physical components to bring the structure together.. (Susan Boyle need not apply)
  • be fit and healthy..shows more self-respect
  • be a good dresser..no fashion sense conveys a lack of social intelligence
  • be confident..self-controlled able to maintain and stare down eye contact
  • be cheerful with a ready smile and sense of humor..no negative vibes
  • be aware of natural attention or validation by others as a leader..stay unaffected ..
  • be the first to lead interactions and conversations…speak with volume and confidence

Now here are two real issues…

First, for too long now these human dynamics by top leadership rulers in this industry have kept the majority of people eating humble pie believing they need to be super models. In order to achieve, they are offered whole mentorship programs, modules, training seminars and more out-of-pocket expenses. Not only does the average networker suffer trying to meet unrealistic expectations but we can’t sponsor others to do this leadership attraction model.


Second, the network marketing home business is the only true democratic home business where equality of opportunity is based on a simple marketing plan. It is duplicating a simple business system, a one page blueprint, that makes 97% of networkers able to do and believe in.

And, for goodness sakes, it doesn’t matter your condition (or objection), irrespective of race, gender, age, size or shape, education, training, status, poor or rich, white color, blue collar, executive, student, or teacher.

Everyone has equality of opportunity because everyone can share a simple blueprint for business duplication.


This is the real founding principle of the great grassroots industry.

How simple can it be?
Check out a fair, standard curriculum called Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits .
Have a look at Home Business 101: 3 short videos that define, compare and motivate…


What more can you do, if you have no more what if’s in your vocabulary?

Home Business Debate: Communication Skills vs Duplication Roadmap

Home Business Debate..Communication Skills vs Duplication Roadmap

People's need for a successful, profitable home business has never been greater.

We know that any success is based on skillset, mindset, knowledge, plans and focus.

And the one skill that is touted as being essential is effective communication skills.
This effort is challenging, perennial, and filled with obstructions and excuses about presenting and converting potential customers. And, just, maybe not everyone feels comfortable doing this. But it also means that we, as average communicators, shouldn’t be discounted but should have access to alternative strategies that also work.

So, is there an alternative to home business with an unique model based on the key concepts of leverage and duplication?


It’s not who or what you know relative to your communication skills…
It’s more about a simple marketing plan that everyone who wants extra security can repeatedly do again and again for massive duplication.
It’s not the skilfull or unskilfull person...it’s a piece of paper with a simple plan that duplicates. Without it, your dreams of a massive organization and passive residual profits will never be reached. With it, everything gets easy and your income stream keeps flowing.

So how do we develop the art and science of Effective Communication
  • is difficult for many dating even from poor teaching experiences in school
  • requires consistent effort and practice
  • is demanding to train others to also be effective communicators
  • includes writing well and public speaking components
  • involves psychology, emotional triggers, persuasion tactics
  • focuses on selling benefits, resistance, follow-ups


A top sales manager for a certain Brand of vacuum cleaners once said…you’re not finished “prospecting” a neighborhood until you have knocked on each door at least 4 times and communicated the need to “remove dirt in each house at least 7 times…"

How many people do you know who are willing to do this just because a top professional makes $1000’s weekly and they are led to believe they can be super communicators, too.

Of course, over time, skills of communication and leadership are naturally honed and developed. But how do you start? Besides, in the modern Information Age isn't there someting more time effective and equally efficient?

There is only one home business model that opens the door to every person to succeed with a simple marketing plan focused on helping others also achieve success...not just buy products or remove problems.

The foundation of network marketing is based on average people with above-average dreams with minimal capital (and I would add basic communication skills) who want to start a successful home business.

The principle strategies are:
  • residual..work once, get paid multiple times
  • leverage…use information tools to tell the story for you 24/7
  • duplication..simple business plan that everyone can do (democratic may not need to be based on communication skills)

The easiest way is to focus and share a one-page marketing plan or roadmap with no loss of critical components:

  1. EDUCATE …here is a total big picture of where I'm going and the facts I need to know about network marketing industry
  2. EMPOWER …here are some simple strategies to build personal belief-system and motivation.. “I can do this”
  3. CHANGE … here is how I can plug into a successful company and product that everybody needs

In the end, ability turns out to be what you are capable of doing and motivation determines what you do. Make it complicated like being an effective communicator..and you may see some "attrition;" make it more basic and you may see retention and residuals!

Always ready to help with questions or comments,

Believe in your Dream for Home Business..don't cry "why not me"..celebrate "I can do this"

Believe in your Dream for Home Business..don't cry "why not me"..celebrate "I can do this"


Today I’m going to pay tribute to Susan Boyle, a middle-aged, unemployed Scottish woman from a small village who had a dream but nobody gave her the chance until ….
Watch her introduce herself and watch performance for yourself…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-KiGva9dV4


So, of course, you wipe away a few tears about an extraordinary song from a beloved musical composition from an unbelievable talent and indomitable human spirit and unquestionable skepticism but "there is no average."

The power of a dream shakes you to your very being.


I want a dream like that…don’t you? Not necessarily on a stage in front of judges in a nationwide competition with a mesmerizing, God-given vocal talent. Very few can be blessed with a seemingly inborn physical ability and natural love of singing or any other aptitude.

But what about an emotional, psychological need to be the best we can be if only we had more money and time freedom?

What if my dream was basic to have a simple home business that provided me with as much income as I desired, small or large, dependent on how much time I spent.


What if this home business was based on the network marketing concept? What if I had a simple 3-step business plan that explained the business model about leverage, residual income and duplication? What if, with daily affirmations, I had no more excuses about the level of self-confidence, self-belief and success I can achieve.

What if my home business was based on a one-of-a-kind healthy product for my family. I could put my trust in a doctor with 20 years experience in nutritional science. I could believe in Mother Nature’s pharmacy with whole foods and sea vegetables.

I don’t have any more what if’s blocking my dreams of independence. I will never allow 2 words to obstruct my way to a better lifestyle. What are your obstructions?


I’m also here to help every middle-aged person, every Susan Boyle without the voice, who wants more to celebrate her life…to listen to applause, both internal and external.

If you have a strong enough dream...I can show you the home business model (Part 1 of 3), marketing plan, education tools and self-empowerment to get you ready for CHANGE that you richly deserve.

I believe in you.

Your questions and comments are always appreciated.

Sincerely,
Annemarie

From Old to Missing to New to Success in This Home Business Model

From Old to Missing to New to Success in this Home Business Model

I am currently (late winter) catching up on my paper work (blustery outside)…just organizing my home office materials so once the nice spring weather comes (just around the corner) I can spend a lot of time outdoors preparing my garden (infinite joy and goodness on the table later.)

So I came across a “blueprint” used a few years back about how to fit all the pieces together for a successful home business opportunity meeting.

You will probably be able to relate to this process as the “old school” of network marketing. I’m reviewing it here to show that one KEY ELEMENT is missing...one ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TOOL to build understanding and eliminate excuses is not here.

STEP ONE: start with the heading:
How to develop a written, long-term activity game plan for a successful home business.

Slogan: Success is a choice…work hardest on yourself.
Do You Want to Change your life?
If Time and Money were no Object, what would you do?
What I can do with Time Freedom__________________
What I can do with Money Freedom___________________
Fill in Personal Goals: family, material things, skills, relationships, community, recreation, etc.



_________ _________ __________ _________ ____________

STEP TWO: Network Marketing as a home based business solution (5 statements)

  • cost-effective chain of distribution links customer directly to manufacturer, thus eliminating middlemen costs

  • unique, consumable products

  • residual income...work one hour get paid ,many times

  • build a sense of community

  • convert personal business expenditures into allowable tax deductions


STEP THREE: company’s video about product and compensation plan

STEP FOUR: how business plan works with factors such as:



...be time efficient ....share a catalogue/brochures/DVD's ...upline support and conference calls...order marketing tools turnkey marketing sysem (what did that mean exactly)....make a list of 100 people (no prejudgments)...earn residual income from monthly consumption / repeat customers

STEP FIVE: Personal Blueprint to web together personal, business, financial, health and fitness, superior products, company’s track record opportunity, goals, business plan

NOW GO OUT and MULTIPLY your replicated incomes!

I don’t think so anymore. I spend 1000 of dollars and hours of precious time because I believed in the value of the products and the "freedom" business model. I wanted this to work because it is the only business model where average people with modest income and above average dreams can plug into a successful company for tremendous leverage. But very few others did. A key element of understanding was missing in this "big picture" potential.

Two things ran out loud and clear
1. I would never present a network marketing opportunity like this again

2. The most important part of how this home business works…the key source of power was missing... not even mentioned much less explained (and it is not "magnetic attraction" or "follow the leader" which only a few people can attain in this most democratic home business model that should be affordable, accessible and profitable by everyone. )

Where are the words:

LEVERAGE, CHANGES in the INFORMATION ECONOMY, DUPLICATION, MATRIX, SIMPLE MARKETING VEHICLE, ACCELERATED INCOME FORMULA…and more.



So how do I present this unique home business opportunity now?

Basically, it is the opposite…simply called 3 STEPS 2 RICH Home Business Plan


  1. EDUCATE first about this unique business concept called network marketing...explain the features of what works and what doesn't

  2. EMPOWER next with simple strategies to build a strong “driver” and self-believer…I CAN DO THIS…EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS!

  3. CHANGE…now that I’m smarter about how to improve my lifestyle within the context of the Information Economy...NOW I am ready to check out an extraordinary network marketing opportunity.


NOW I am excited about product, business, residual income for life.
I have no more excuses…unless I want them. Best of all, other people who also want better lives and futures will knock on my door to learn about leverage, information tools, and duplication with a simple marketing tool. Once they see the value of network marketing, then they will continue to be inspired by products and compensation, especially if their current lifestyle is uninspiring.



One massively successful network marketer said..it is not about selling bottles and boxes...it is about duplicating a simple marketing system..and that has made all the difference.



I would certainly like to hear your stories of what has worked (or not) for you as well.
