Home Business Education..most important lesson to build huge profits in network marketing

Home Business Education ..most important lesson plan to build huge profits in network marketing.

" I will offer to free your mind. I will open the door for you. But it is your choice to walk through"...John Milton Fogg

The previous blog has have shown how few people ask about home business education when looking for a home business. The shocking ratio based on Google Keywords Ad Words Search is out of 3000 home business searches only 1 person also is looking for some education how to start a home business and what to do.


How crazy is that..in the same category as driving a car without a license or building a home without a blueprint or charting a trip without a map or getting married to someone with no previous relationship..all very scary and crazy and highly prone to unfulfilled expectations and failure.

And yet, it would seem, people somehow assume, or are hyped to believe, they can earn a professional 5 or 6 digit income in a home business without applying some initial fundamentals. Do they rely on others to take the roles, hold the reins, and stand under a guru’s charisma long enough to see the “enlightned pathway."

This may work in some businesses but not in a network marketing home business based on massive duplication of a simple plan that everyone can democratically pass on.

So here’s the most important lesson you need to know in two parts

Part 1..Visualize and draw your Keep it Simple Circle (KISC)

Start by drawing a circle..about the size of a small orange.. no need to be perfect.
Inside it draw a small stick figure.
Outside it draw a similar sized stick figure.
Inside the circle write the letter S as large as you can to fit into the circle. S stands for SIMPLE.
Outside the circle write as small a letter S as you can beside the stick figure.
Turn the letters S into dollar signs.

Fundamental Lesson learned: The more simple the business plan the more money you will make. If you are outside the Simple Circle, following something more complicated, the less money you will make…


Part 2. List the essential parts of a simple home business plan.

Draw another similar circle.
Divide it into 3 parts ..more or less equal..don’t worry about being perfect or analytical.
The GOOD NEWS is there are only 3 parts that EACH represent an important part of your home business.
Print ONE WORD in EACH of the 3 sections
  • Part 1.. EDUCATE
  • Part 2 ..CONTENT
  • Part 3.. MAKE A DECISION


So far, this should be totally clear. Now lets add a few details. Write these words outside the circle and connect them to the right section:

  • EDUCATE...facts...training
  • CONTENT...company... website
  • MAKE A DECISION... ROAD MAP TO SUCCESS


You have just created a beautiful mindmap with two circles that represent the tremendous potential of this unique home business. You can now build your dreams on something very real, very action orientated and very democratic. Absolutely everybocy can do this.

Is there anyone who cannot do this home business plan? You need a phone and computer.
Is there anything missing or incomplete? Use the Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits as a comprehensive overview of facts and training.
Is there any other way to simplify this home business plan? Show me.
Is there any other way to build substantial residual profits over and over again?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR COST and TIME?

EDUCATION.. $25 for Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits (one hour)

CONTENT.. (time factor will vary here)
..replicated company’s website, back office, marketing tools..NO COST
..autoshipment of valuable health product..basis for commission starts from $40 monthly


MAKE A DECISION…ONE PAGE read and share summary replicated website..ROADMAP to SUCCESS...NO COST (30 minutes to read)

If this isn’t the most exciting lesson plan you’ve ever seen for a successful home business…then maybe you're not ready to be a home-based entrepreneur. Maybe you want to take more time to do more research..and there's lots of resources are available.

But if you see how this two circles relate and how simple it is to duplicate residual profits you should be jumping for joy. Financial freedom is truly at your fingertips.

WHO should be jumping for joy?
People with no time, and who work fulltime jobs

People with no background in sales

People who have never started a home-based business

People who don't have a lot of extra time

People who are money motivated

People who value spending more time with their families

People who need extra retirement income

People who hate their jobs, and want out of the rat race

People who like their job, but who just need a little more money

People who like making money the easy way


If you see yourself on this list, then why not get started today?

Home Business Shocker (part 2)..making a case for fair, democratic home business

HOME BUSINESS SHOCKER PART 2…making a case for fair, democratic home business for every family..

In the previous blog, we focused on a simple shocking realization:

...for every 3000 people who are thinking about a home business..there is only ONE person who is also thinking about some kind of primary education to explain how a home business works.

HELLO! What’s wrong with this SHOCKING picture?


REALITY: Every person has a desire for something better. Every person would welcome an opportunity to be better but they need to be shown how to make extra money from home…

CASE for EQUALITY: Common premises:
  • small business owners are more successful with network marketing opportunities because of their previous communication, personnel and marketing experiences
  • network marketing opportunities are frequently shared with neighbours, relatives and acquaintances with no previous business experience
  • profitable home business is not built by sponsoring more successful business owners but by working with average people with above average dreams who also wish to enjoy a better lifestyle for their families
  • this industry does a very poor job in educating people about the true business-building concepts and it’s not about product or company or guru presenter.


IS IT POSSIBLE for real equality in this unique home business model based on 3 simple business building concepts that’s open and fair for everybody? Everyone should know and practise them by heart. Do you?


INVESTIGATION: THREE SCENES

Scene one..search the internet for a home business

Have you made these kinds of encounters:

Earn up to $100 per hour with your own Home Business and you can join for free..click here
Online training videos help you Watch, Listen, and Learn your way to Internet Marketing Success.
No experience necessary. We want newbies. We will build your site and teach you how to market online.
All the tools and training you need..nice tidy package that’s affordable and pays out 5-figure income.
Discover the hottest new home business opportunity. Collect your share of the exploding Money Pool tonight. The faster you take action…the more money you’ll learn in real time.

Scene two…attend a network marketing meeting at a house or hotel room

1. Fill out a form about goals and dreams...share with others..
2. Watch a video about product and testimonials
3. Have a sample of product, read brochure, ask questions
4. Entry positions and compensation plan explained..get 3 who get 3 who get 3
5. Join, and repeat this process, offline or online, to make your commissions

Or perhaps you can watch a website or listen to a conference call that covers these points

Scene three: primary home business education first

If you are a home business opportunity seeker, how would you answer these FOUR BIG QUESTIONS...nothing complicated here..

  • What are the four ways in growing an income?
  • What are the four fastest growing trends in a home business?
  • What are the four main questions to ask about a network marketing business?
  • What four factors will help to change your mindset to positive beliefs and actions?

Some simple actions you can do today:

  • Watch a professional presentation that answers these basic questions
  • Learn definitions via diagrams of the 3 main concepts that make network marketing work
  • Start to develop positive self-affirmations you deserve something better


REALITY you will learn is that this home business is not about selling a bottle of pills or whatever else after explaining benefits and compensation plan.

It is the one and only opportunity where you can leverage professional information, duplicate a simple democratic plan that everyone can do and multiply residual profits over and over again.


Communication, personal development and training..all standardized in one simple PRIMARY FORMAT. Nothing can be more basic, more democratic, more life-changing.

Everybody has the ability to learn and understand simple actions.

If you had this kind of home business education would you say NO?

Does this make sense to you?

Now you are ready to change.. to embrace an extraordinary product and company.

My job is to help you get this primary education first. Then you can pass it on to others who can pass it on to others and so on.

Questions and comments are always welcome.

Home Business Shocker..and a simple way to avoid the SHOCK

HOME BUSINESS SHOCKER..and simple way to stop the shock

You undoubtedly have used Google Search to find specific information...just type in a word or word phrase you are looking for and Google Search Engine will present pages of related topics and links.
Therefore, one of the best ways of doing market research is to check out what Google.Adwords.Keyword Tool shows about certain keywords and frequency of searches. The more popular...the more searches… greater the marketplace.
It’s common realization that the marketplace for home businesses is booming, especially in our redefining, readjusting economy.


So this statistic came as a profound SHOCK. You can check it out for yourself.

How many people search the internet by typing the words home business on the average per month?
The answer is 2, 240, 000 searches per month…that’s a lot of investigation and/or interest.

How many people search the internet by typing the words home business education on the average per month?
The answer is approximately 750 searches..

In other words, the ratio breaks down that for every 3000 people who are thinking about a home business..there is ONE person who is also thinking about some kind of primary education to explain how a home business works.

HELLO! What’s wrong with this SHOCKING picture?

Imagine 3000 students in a classroom all eager to build their BIG CHANGE money-making vehicle of some kind...but only ONE person will look at the mechanics. This unbridled methodology is doomed to fail! How many ways can you make a wheel?

No curriculum can exist that way through some kind of automatic osmosis. No one can expect a graduate’s mastery or performance from a primary level student. No new “dreamy-eyed” person coming into a home business without proper foundational comprehension and skills will function like a self-branded, social media expert. After a short time..when hype fizzles..only frustration and failure remain.

Now it is also a fact that the most common home business is based on network marketing for many reasons. At least 95% of home business owners are network marketers. It is estimated about 15 – 20% of successful networkers come from previous small business backgrounds and have well-honed business skill.

(This leaves about 80% of home-based networkers with limited skills but they are expected to function with the necessary skills of communicating, marketing, sales, motivation and more. This topic will be covered more in the next blog.)

The main point is that HOME BUSINESS EDUCATION MUST PRECEDE HOME BUSINESS..in the same way that an engineering course must precede building a bridge.


The main answer here is that a PRIMARY EDUCATION PROGRAM must be presented about how this Network Marketing Home Business works. It must be based on a common basic understanding that is easily shared even with non-business people.

Here are examples of primary instruction:

  • Begin with basic vocabulary, concepts, strategies, comparison, self- evaluation and summary
  • Provide a simple training component easily shared with a growing team to explain the duplication principles of this business model. This is mandatory to explain the main concepts related to leverage. Example: Slide presentation: Network Marketing in the Modern Information Age with a Simple 1 – 2 – 3 Marketing Plan.
  • Ensure that the divergent but necessary elements for networking success are amalgamated into ONE simple journal, including self-concept development, to save months of research and avoid mistakes: Example: E-Book: 105 Tips How to Plug into our Information Economy through Network Marketing
  • Connect to a simple online marketing system to expand contacts beyond warm market, uses auto responders loaded with sales messages for automatic follow-up, as well as provide ongoing communication training
  • Provide time flexibility to fit into variable time schedules… not based on conferences schedules. Example:This ABC Primer can be easily accomplished in under 30 minutes with the Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits. NOTE: A picture is worth a thousand words…visual learning is critical to see complex meanings.
  • Has to be low-cost for the average networker to afford: online system, leads, training and support so everyone can get into positive cash flow
  • Eliminate the biggest roadblocks to success which are excuses, “I don’t have any money, I’m too busy, I can’t, I won’t. “ A life framed with excuses is a wasted future. More explanation in reason # 7 Check out slide 28.


BOTTOM LINE: Minimal cost, minimal time, maximum basics, maximum duplication ..the real creation of a true self-franchised individual


HOME BUSINESS EDUCATION becomes an integral part of the Home Business Viral Marketing Formula


Profits = Leveraged Message + Democratic Plan x Duplication


The Leveraged Message is complete and consistent, the Democratic Plan is kept simple, and the Duplication is knowledgeable, exciting without excuses

Profits become part of your life story and legacy.

As always, comments, questions and opinions are always appreciated. Another excellent source of primary education is Home Business 101 (3 videos..introducation, comparison and mindset ) and Home Business 102 (4 videos on Goal Setting

Home Business Voted as Best Concept and how Viral Marketing Formula can Help

Home Business Voted as Best Concept for 21st Century and how Viral Marketing Formula can Help

This is a two part blog..
PART ONE: read about the home business opportunity first
PART TWO: read about a marketing plan to build a home business like this as huge as you want. You control the residual cash flow from a small spring to a torrential water-fall.

Let’s see how you can do this.

PART ONE: WHAT IS CHEWS-4-HEALTH?

Chews 4 Health has recently been voted by Lifetime Networks as the "best home-based business concept of the 21st century"...Let’s take a closer look at a few reasons why..


Chews-4-Health is a delicious tasting, doctor formulated, natural chewable dietary supplement derived from the most nutrient rich sources from around the world.

At Chews-4-Health Inc., you are part of an elite group called “TEAM MEMBERS.”

We are so different from the typical “MLM” company (Multi-Level Marketing) we’re not even in the same category! In fact, we are a trademarked NCM™ company (National Co-Op Marketing).

With our “Chews-4-Wealth Success System”, you may have an opportunity to be part of of a national CORPORATE advertising network. This “strength in numbers” gives you the opportunity of taking your Chews-4-Health business to levels that are difficult to attain by other home based businesses.
Chews-4-Health, Inc. has made it easy to benefit from taking the product and, at the same time, earn income from a data base of Team Members and customers signing up throughout your organization. Some companies require their distributors to purchase HUNDREDS and even THOUSANDS of dollars worth of product to qualify each month. We have designed a program that allows you to build a business for as little as $39 per month. In addition to retail profits, depending on how many boxes you choose to have shipped to you each month, you will also receive 4% to 12% commissions from the “Two-Infinity” business plan (see “Two-Infinity” section for qualification requirements).

Another way you can generate profits is by selling your Chews-4-Health product retail and to online customers. The product retails for only $44.95, which means being a Team Member means provides you an attractive retail profit of up to $14.95 per box, and this doesn’t even include the residual income you earn from your “two-infinity” business or co-op advertising program.

Five Streams of Income
Chews-4-Health, Inc. gives you the opportunity to generate four streams of income:
1) 50% mark up retail profit.
2) Two-Infinity compensation.
3) Three Generation FASTSTART Bonus, up to $120.00.
4) Matching “Two-Infinity” bonus.
5) Shared profits in a national advertising Co-Op.

For a limited time you can get a FREE box of Chews-4-Health and try it for yourself!

PART TWO: HOME BUSINESS VIRAL MARKETING FORMULA

The Home Business Viral Marketing Formula is based on five factors:

  • a network marketing home business is the only opportunity where people can start a home business with minimal capital and make a potential high profit by making a difference
  • there are only three basic principles that make it work so, theoretically, the business model shouldn’t be that hard to master
  • address any misconceptions about mlm industry with generic education about how to achieve a better lifestyle...not just buy product
  • simplify a simple read-and-share process that everybody can do instead of complex marketing systems that the majority of people do not have the time to learn for success
  • use a standardized handbook to level the same playing field…the same objectives..the same success ratio


P = LM + DP x D

PROFITS = Leveraged Message + Democratic Plan x Duplication


PROFITS = residual income based on working once and getting paid multiple times

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

DEMOCRATIC PLAN…keep marketing plan to 3 factors to minimize learning curve and easier to understand and share

DUPLICATE… marketing plan is shared by masses of people looking for extra income from home. They 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.


YOUR HUGE OPPORTUNITY…step brightly into a new future...

How a Dream Home Business can be destroyed by ANTS and a viral anti-spray that helps

How A Dream Home Business Destroyed by ANTS (Automatic Negative Thinking Statements)
..and how a viral anti-spray can help


A definite strategy to help people focus on their goals is to visualize having achieved success already. It works for sports stars, motivational speakers, Olympic athletes, entertainers, movie producers and more. It should also work for people looking to start a profitable home business.

Visualize now that you have achieved your goals for an awesome network marketing home business. You are using a healthy wholefood product for your family as the basis for your commissions. You are following a simple 3 steps plan to share with others and continue building more income by sharing information. Every week you receive a growing residual check and your bank account is starting to look a lot greener, too. Your credit card debt is diminishing. You are starting to plan for a few extra things for your family..like taking a nice vacation or maybe buying a new car. You are saving business related receipts for major tax savings at the end of the year.



Best of all, you sleep better and worry less about a shifting economy because you’re building your own personal economy step by simple step.

Actually visualize this dream as much on a physical scale as you can... Close your eyes and actually see the big house with less mortgage and a nice new car in front, and maybe a flower garden..a beautiful sunset..

Now visualize this. This brand new home business dream is being attacked by little bits of automatic negative thinking statements…


Each little statement gnaws a little hole and creates a little dust. At the end, there is only a large pile of dust where once stood a magnificent dream of great potential and finacial stability.

Do you have these ANTS attacking your dream home business…

..costs too much...$40 is too much to start a bona fide home business
..daily schedule won’t fit ...an hour to preview business model
..too much information at one time...reduce to one primer
..can’t track goals...too many variables..what about setting just 2 goals
..motivation is to find an hourly job...work once get paid once
..just don’t understand residual income...self-education is priceless
..not sure I want to spend months training for efficiency...do the basics in one hour
..unclear marketing plan..not sure what I need to so…cut it 2 three steps
..monetary goals are too high...inch by inch everything’s a cinch
..will wait for a better time...dreams don't have to wait a lifetime
..my partner doesn’t accept this...educate your partner..take 1 hour
..too many bells and whistles...just use one primer
..not a good communicator...can you email a powerful conference call
..not a good speaker...can you read a one page summary
..not sure whether this is sales…educate first..value is inherent
..afraid of psychologically trying something new…money back gurantee
..not sure how this works to explain...you are just the messenger..use professional information tools to tell the story for you
..not sure whether my personal motivation is sustainable…success will create your excitement
..not sure my friends and/or family will understand...some will/ some won’t/ it’s their loss / move on
..not sure it has worked for others...applied non-democratic marketing plan
..not sure how to balance family life with new project...how much quality time are you spending now
..not sure I need extra money now..got a good job or in training..that’s great news but where do you want to ne in 3 to 5 years.
..not sure about price range and profits...check out 6 month cash flow projection
..not sure I’ll be supported when I need help…business is built on co-operation and being as self-franchised as possible
..not sure I can be successful..time to reset your mindset based on simple practical steps..our success is vested in your success
..not sure I can handle high-tech training...it is still a relationship building home business..show you care first
..not sure I know enough people…the world is your backyard
..not sure I can emulate a top earner...this is a home business model based on every day people duplicating each othernot duplicating a top eaner



As you know, I speak with many home business opportunity seekers and these are some of the actual ANTS I have had to stomp on. It is always so sad when these sad little excuses end up controlling an extraordinary program and dream. So many don’t even read the free report about the Simplest Home Business in the World…at least dip your toes in the cool waters of network marketing principles. Some miss basic lessons in defining network marketing, comparing plans and how to set up a straight-line home business (Home Business 101)


The bottom line for a successful home business is best summarized by a viral Einstein-like formula


PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication
P = LM + DP x

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.
NO MORE ANTS IN MY LIFE AND IN MY DREAM!
How about you?
Share some of your dreams and will show you how to keep ants away!
Sincerely,
Annemarie

Why You Should build a Home Business without the Wolf with Prevention in Mind and the Cure-in-one-Call

Why You Should Build a HOME BUSINESS without the wolf, with prevention in mind, and the Cure- in-one-call

This week, 3 very different messages crossed my desk and yet they are all uniquely connected to home business opportunities…past, present and future. Here are brief summaries and their connection to home business in network maketing in today’s uncertain economy.

MESSAGE #1

I’ll huff..I’ll puff..I’ll blow your house down..big bad wolf
In the fairy tale, the first two pigs learned their lesson and soon built their own houses of brick, and they all lived happily ever after. But as you know, the Three Little Pigs is just a fairy tale. In real life, people ask the government to rescue them with taxpayer money, and then they rebuild their straw and stick houses all over again. The fairy tale continues, lessons are not learned—and the wolf lurks in the darkness.
All over the world, people are asking, “What are our leaders going to do?” I believe a more important question is, “What are you and I going to do?” More specifically, “How can you and I build our own house of bricks…Robert Kiyosaki’s new book


CONNECT: You got to build a profitable home business because the future is uncertain with too many bad wolves prowling around challenging age-old traditions and securities.

MESSAGE #2

In the late 1980’s an important infomercial was advertised to try and make America a better place for kids. It was beautifully produced video about helping parents talk to their teenagers about drugs. The script was written by Dan Kennedy, and a team of professional copywriters and even hosted by Nancy Reagan.

Guess how many people were convinced to get a video in order to talk to their kids about drugs based on orders received…Zero

Why?

Because it was about preventing the problem...not actually curing it. Who would want to think that their kids might need this program? "My kids would never take drugs...I'll never have to worry about this problem."

CONNECT: Why wait until more emergency difficulties or more major pain backs you into a corner to look for alternative home business income? Do preventative education now and learn all you can about setting up a profitable home business opportunity.


MESSAGE # 3

The power of a message struck me like never before. We know there are mountains of home business opportunities out there...each one promising the easy path to the gold mine...financial freedom.

And so it happened that I heard a presentation of one program that had all the elements of a great home business…In fact, it had been voted best home business concept for the 21 century by Lifetime Networks based on a recent survey.

Personally, if I had to design a dream home business, I couldn’t think of anything better than these benefits:
  • part of the booming Wellness Industry based on natural preventative products (versus waiting until you get sick and then trying to find help in the health system…
  • based on nutrient rich whole food super fruits and sea vegetable supplement
  • low cost to qualify for commissions $40 for valuable product everybody needs
  • no cost website with all the information plus back office for customer updates /support
  • national co-op marketing campaign making the product a household word
  • endorsement by Beauty Spaces (inner nutrition for anti-aging) and Kids Spaces (best supplement for children)
  • five income streams, including retail sales


Most of us realize that a successful, time-efficient, profit generating home business is a good thing..a few extra hundred dollars a month would absolve most bankruptrices (report). It is a smart preventative measure even if you have a good job now and trust your status quo will stretch into long golden years as planned.

But what if it doesn’t turn out the way you planned?

Will you continue to put your financial security into someone else’s hands?
Isn't it better to set up some preventative steps now by taking a closer educational look at what works in the network marketing industry?

Don’t wait until you’re facing financial mayhem. Some people tell me they can’t even put together $40 a month to start a home business and qualify for commissions. It's hard to sell the virtue and goodness of a home business until you experience it for yourself.

Don’t wait for the waters to part before you and a bridge to appear to better understand the prosperity available for you.

Don’t wait until some big bad wolf breathes down your chimney while your house is still standing.

Do check out an amazing home business opportunity cure-in-one-call

Do check out a simple 3-steps plan and viral marketing formula


Comments and questions are always appreciated...

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


Comments and questions are always appreciated. If you don’t ask, I won’t know what you’re thinking and what you may be missing out.

If you have never heard of network marketing as a home business, you can watch 3 videos on Home Business 101..

To your education and success,

How to Demand and Get some Empathy in the Greatest Simple Home Business

How to Demand and Get some Empathy in the Greatest Simple Home Business

If you are serious about a profitable home business, the time has come to go on offense and demand some empathy.

Our current economic problems face real systemic causes that won’t go away or return to “glory days” of good paying jobs for a lifetime of honest work and retirement benefits. Many of us are searching for a simple, profitable home business by looking at the network marketing model for many reasons. But our decision-making process should not be based on desperation or promise you-the-moon sales pitches but on careful education and deliberation of multiple factors. And the final decision should be based on fairness for all because the key to this simple home business is duplication of a simple home business..nothing more, nothing less.

Network marketing is the only true democratic home business model based on the founding principle that an average person with above average dreams can start with minimal capital and earn high potential profits by helping others to do the same, irrespective of age, gender, status, background, or education.

You know what you want is what most of us want...an equal opportunity for stress-free living with family and friends with future security. Together, we are open to making progressive rational decisions but we do not want our emotional feelings or dreams to be on the frontline of a sales pitch.

Too many times, I have seen this mantra in action: stir up the WHY you want to get a home business and we’ll show you the HOW you can do it... Give us your dreams and we’ll sell you a business plan that turns out, too many times, to be unachievable for the average person.

Too many times, I have heard well-trained, strong-willed sales types “selling a dream” by demoralizing a person to feel so poorly about their potential that their only way out is to purchase their promise of hope. They are directed to pay the highest prices for the highest hopes possible. Then after spending a few hundred dollars they receive a few hundred hours of training material and ongoing calls. This will, supposedly, not only inspire confidence in themselves but have enough left-over enthusiasm to spread their promise of high hope to other people.

This is insane and unjust to prey on people’s emotional needs with a business system that defies logical implementation by the average non-business person.

Let’s add some empathy to this home business.

Empathy can be simply described as seeing through another person’s eyes and walking in another person’s shoes.

It is the basis of our democracy. As networkers we can share a great capacity to care, to feel what others feel, to understand what others are facing and what their lives are like
Our network marketing business is set up on principles that I can only make money if I help or empower you first to make money.

A democratic home business plan must be able to perform fairly for everyone, not just veteran networkers or the rich and powerful or autocratic leaders.

Autocratic means controlling power is held by a single, self-appointed leader versus democratic where the masses of people have the power. The point here, is there are too many home business systems advocated by top leaders that appeal to other top leaders with equal abilities. These complex marketing systems are fashioned to groom other top leaders so they can also become “I am an expert brand..so follow my rulings.”

NEWSFLASH: network marketing is not about duplicating self-branded experts..it is the only home business model that comes close to an equal opportunity for regular masses of people.

It provides both a social and personal responsibility to make the future better by making people better, more self empowered, as well as protect people from unfair practices and expectations.

Make sure you demand these functions of a democratic home business plan:
  • standardize training about business concepts that make network marketing work
  • help to self-empower people to begin to change old mindsets
  • provide a strong platform in order to evaluate an excellent network marketing company with cutting edge products and compensation plan
  • implement a marketing plan based on four essneetial words for duplication I CAN DO THIS!
  • accomplish all this at an unbelievable low cost and a time commitment of an hour or so...

This is the answer to sharing empathy in this democratic home business.

We will always remain unique individuals, genetically different to start with, then shaped by our cultures, education, parents and events to perceive the world true to our natures. We will always, undoubtedly, live in an unequal society with too many conditions...too many various communities, groups, social causes and conditions. But we can all share our dreams and hopes with an equal opportunity for a better future.

As a professional networker, I believe in the grassroots principles of this great simple home business to live our real dreams and experience freedom.
Your thoughts and experiences are welcome...and I promise I will "tread gently" on your dreams

.

Sincerely,

Annemarie

USA Today Article on Recession-Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Network Marketing

USA Today Article on Recession Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Networking Marketing.


Recently I read an article from USA Today with the heading: Direct Sales Offer Recession Proof Jobs and want to share my thoughts.



Direct-sales businesses that rely on home-based business owners to help market their products are seeing a rapid expansion of networkers because of the country’s unemployment rate, lost jobs and lost nest eggs. People are simply looking for new ways to make money from home during economic hard times for supplemental income or replacement of a lost job. Women are especially looking for financial solutions. Jobs are no longer being taken for granted. What other options or "safety valves" can help to keep you afloat in a faltering economy?


In the article, the Direct Selling Association (DSA) which oversees these companies, states these statistics:
...There are roughly 15 million direct sellers in the U.S. They can also be referred to as network marketers or independent contractors who help market products or services primarily through a home business such as demonstrations in someone's home and one-on-one interactions. In 2007, the most recent year available, the sales industry generated $30.8 billion in U.S. sales.


...10% of representatives work "full time," or at least 30 hours a week. The majority work part-time or only long enough to meet short-term goals, such as holiday presents.


...Compensation systems vary, but representatives primarily earn money from commissions on product sales or by purchasing the products wholesale and selling them at retail prices. Commissions on sales typically are 25% to 50% of retail. While representatives may also earn a small commission on the sales from representatives they've recruited, legitimate businesses do not use recruitment alone as a basis for compensation

You can read the entire article for actual names of people and companies or read this brief summary. Most of the references are about cosmetic companies; in fact, one recently had a 108% spike in its sales representatives.

Three heart-felt opinions are offered:


  1. What if we switch from lipstick and earrings to nutrition with whole food supplements

  2. What if we switch from the idea of salesmanship and recruitment to education about three main business concepts: leverage, residual income and duplication

  3. What if we every person has the potential and democratic right to be an entrepreneur and just need a democratic marketing system


Several different examples were cited of successful home business owners:


…truck driver laid off by construction company worked alongside his wife in a direct-sales compaby with nutritional supplements. Nearly two years later and with no construction job in sight, a one-time sideline is now earning a six-figure income
.. an assistant office manager saw her hours cut last year and needed a way to make up her lost income while maintaining her office job and busy household.Now her home business is thriving even though there is a recession
…young pregnant mother lost her job as a corporate recruiter and couldn’t find a new job.. now focuses on building home business that looks “pretty promising”
…retirees join the trend …66 year old wife saw the couple’s savings reduced by half in the wake of the stock market fall. Now enjoys hosting parties to earn income until market recovers and savings stabilize
… 26 year old recent graduate in public health has struggled to find a job in her field. She worked for her sister as a nanny before getting a full-time position as an account manager. But she has also decided to start selling cosmetics on the side, partly to earn extra cash for her upcoming wedding. She now intends to forgo a public health career and eventually sell the makeup line full time.

My last opinion, as stated priveously, is we live in exciting times, changes and opportunities if we choose to focus on the potential. You cannot control what happens to you. You can control your attitude. You can master change rather than allow change to master you.


Your comments, questions, opinions are always appreciated.

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.

How Can $1.50 a Day Set Up a Profitable Home Business

How Can $1.50 a Day set up a profitable home business..do I dare believe it?

Everything we do is relative at the time and space we think to do it.


When we lack or want something we can usually create some energy to make it real. When we’re feeling hungry, we find a snack; when tired, we find a resting place; when we’re lonely.. we look for someone’s hand to hold and to talk to.

Some theorists would like to call this the positive Law of Attraction..a universal vibrational alignment…I personally feel it is our innate personal energies and knowledge or training that can take us from what we want to what we manifest as our own reality. Many times, we get exactly what we ask for. And strength of character is called upon to cope with what we didn’t ask for but still get.

Let’s say, at this moment in time and space, you have $1.50 to spend. It seems to be common regression of will at this time. Your list includes starting and maintaining a home business on a daily basis. Your list also gives you access to:

  • child’s admission to a public skating rink
  • one donut eclair at Tim Horton’s
  • mama cheese burger at a fast food restaurant
  • Polaroid pack AAA Alkaline batteries
  • novelty items like a crystal squirt ring (4 of these)
  • birthday express pack of balloons
  • two plush toys from dispenser in movie lobby
  • savings coupon for a BBQ Pulled Pork Slider
  • Walmart coupon to save on shippijng charges
  • tube of toothpaste
  • 2 sets of paper towls (4 rolls)
  • garage sale item (I got a garden spade once)
  • 4 stamps to mail 4 letters (Canadian prices)
  • 1 Eatmore peanut chews (280 calories to burn off).. my favorite
  • pay 7% provincial tax on item costing $25

Believe me, it is hard to find anything of much value for under a Toonie ($2 coin in Canada…but you get the "relativity" differential.

In the same space and time you can start a network marketing home business.

You will earn income not just from your own efforts but the efforts of others, benefit fom a multimillion dollar advertising campaign, no inventory required, free marketing website, free membership, with 5 ways to make money.

You will receive a delicious-tasting, doctor-formulated, natural chewable dietary supplement derived from the most nutrient-rich sources from around the world. It is a product that the marketplace desperately needs in its search fro wellness. You can be one of the first to share it.


I don’t know about you but I certainly would align my “vibrational” energies to I WANT to create this kind of home business versus a handful of galvanized nails or a package of Planters nuts.

You have now received this message and it is your responsibility to act or not to act. Explore..question, find out more...or assume, not believe, let go and forget.

We are all blessed with the full range of emotions and the power to transform them into what we want with negative or positive acts. For goodness sake,

  • get a basic education for a one-time cost of $25 you can share with others.
  • get personal empowerment that you believe you can manifest what you want and need.
  • embrace Change as a positive Energy Field to help others in health and financial success.


Ask for more, reach for your dreams, and you will receive if you are educated and empowered. We are standing by to help with questions and comments. What are your WANTS and how will you MANIFEST your reality?

How a simple plan keeps Personal Enemies at Bay in my Home Business

How a Simple 3-Step Plan Keeps Personal Enemies at Bay in my Home Business

One of the foremost philosophers for home business entrepreneurs is Jim Rohn. Nobody can craft the English language…personalize abstract concepts to concrete forms or metaphors to better understand a bigger, more integrated process.

Starting a home business is a huge undertaking and long term process. There will be the invisible fears and unknowns to haunt you and no one can materialize them like this favorite essay by Jim.

As a home business entrepreneur, we all face the apparitions in both quiet moments and hectic paces..what have I got myself into...what am I going to do next..what will others think..

But my home business is built on strong network marketing principles. My defenses are well fortified by a simple basic business plan...3 strong pillars; namely,

  • education first so you know the main facts
  • empowerment to believe you can win
  • an exciting change that is welcome and anticipated

Ignorance cannot make a stand against education.
Excuses can not penetrate the shield of self-empowerment.

Change will not be a heavy door to hammer through but a wide archway and beckoning light to freedom and a brighter future for your whole family.

Your comments and questions are always appreciated...what are some of your personal enemies?

Annemarie

Facing the Enemies Within...

By Jim Rohn

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.
Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by
what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some
fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two
o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation,
you won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions.
Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if
left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many
enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.

The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you
is indifference.

What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just
drift along." Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift
your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision.

Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will
steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt.

Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe
everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people
doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the
government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.
Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will
destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both
your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy Go after it.
Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry.

We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you.
Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the
curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry.
But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a
small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive
them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to
get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is over-caution.

It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an
illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't
get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in
the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your
courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from
your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your
pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

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 in this home business: selling or educating

What works best in this special network marketing home business: selling or educating?


I always enjoy speaking with home-based business opportunity seekers. They have so many good questions that require proper, hype-free answers. I can relate to my first efforts in starting a home business by following a program without a proper overview of how this special home business worked. I followed with “blind faith” that the master marketer would inspire more and more “followers.” Unfortunately, this home business model based on network marketing concepts doesn’t work that way.
So my main answers are to make sure new people understand the foundational principles of network marketing. This will ensure that common mistakes can be avoided, and unnecessary costs eliminated and time saved. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long –term commissions.


One of the most common questions is related to selling. Do I have to sell anything? I have no experience. I don’t like sales. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long-term commissions.

These concerns and fears are absolutely relevant. How about you? Do you feel that you are unable to sell, or may even see selling as negative. Perhaps you may have had a past experience where you have been pushed into buying something you didn't want, or felt hassled by a salesperson.

The process of selling is an exchange of information between two people talking…one is looking for a solution to a problem..the other is providing some answers.
Both ways, they are selling each other whether about the problem or the solution. At the end, one person will “sell” the other.."my problems are too great" or "your solution seems the right first step to take." Our consumer society shows we are always willing to exchange money to buy if we find what we want.

The fact is that there are both very good and very bad sales people! Bad sales people are only interested in what they will personally get out of the sale and will use every tactic to close the deal for their own gain.
A good sales person will not sell something to anyone unless they truly believe that they will benefit from it. They will ensure all important questions are answered and if someone is still not interested, then they will stop pushing. The good sales person will also go to any length to ensure that all customers are completely satisfied with their purchase.

But here is the $64,000 question:
Do networkers SELL a product or EDUCATE a better financial future?

Is network marketing all about really selling a product that can be bought in a local retail outlet, or does it offer the unique advantage of presenting an improved lifestyle opportunity? What other options are there?
You don’t need to “sell” a better, more financially free future...most people would be interested in "buying" and upgrading their status quo. However, first, you must educate about the key concepts to get you there.

So, on one hand, you have particular products..as the means by which to make residual income…Note that most network marketing companies produce cutting-edge research and development products. Do your due diligence here to understand the value and benefits.

On the other hand, you have an opportunity, a decision to make to start a home business of this type that can change your life and your finances forever. You have a situation where you can identify ways in which your business can help other people to achieve life long ambitions.

It’s simple to say “no’ to a product..a bottle..a box but you have to think more responsibly about saying “no” to a home business opportunity that can build independence for you and your family.

Ultimately, the best way to make any decision is to educate first. Get your facts. Get your overview. Start to change your belief system...I can do this.
Now that you’ve been educated and enlightened, now go out and check the products and see if you are willing to “buy”.

In conclusion, this home business model is unique that allows every person the right to have a profitable home business. Go out and get educated first. Get smart and help others get smart.

Does this mean I have to be a teacher now rather than a salesperson?
Goodness, no! Use professional teaching tools to tell the story for you.

How to Focus Home Business Ambition Between Two Goals and 3 Steps

Home Business ambition focus between two goals and 3 steps


Do you sometimes find yourself blaming circumstances for your lot in life? Do you find yourself raising a bunch of excuses… if only my parents did this, or I was raised differently, or my teachers didn’t like me enough or I followed my friends’ ambitions. Do you find yourself looking at successful people that seem to have everything...a big house, nice car, holidays, hobbies with the kids? Maybe you feel you don’t have the psychology, the emotions, the purpose-driven life goals, or something as simple as personal ambition to get ahead...is it a genetic trait or do I develop it like some kind of mental muscle.

Maybe you’re just waiting for the right opportunity, a silver platter with your name on it, a lottery ticket mentality. But there are far more chances to create your own fortune and get what you want than waiting for a “fantasy knight to save you on a magic carpet.”

As a teacher I firmly believe that every person starts each day with a positive direction in mind. Most of us think “what can I do today to be better”..not “what can I do today to be miserable, make others miserable or fail on purpose.” Most of us know what we want and have some determination to get to that destination. But it is the bumps and bruises itself along the way that throw sand in our eyes and blur our reasons.



Sometime setting goals for building ambition and motivation can be problematic in their own right. The more steps to follow, the more reasons or excuses not to try or reduce hope to excuses.


The big question is how can we simplify the process of planning and achievement so there will be less chances to give up and walk away.


So let’s say you want to start a simple, low-cost but profitable home business. Most new opportunity seekers look at network marketing for several reasons.


Here are two plans (Long and Short) to help focus and maintain your ambition.


A. LONG (SLOW PROGRESSION) PLAN

(not everybody may want to do this process)


1. Brainstorm

Get a piece of paper and write down the important goal of home business.. Now cluster as many other ideas about why its important and how to do it. No judgments allowed at this point whether they can work or not…be as open-ended as you can be


2. Organise

Get all of those ideas you just wrote down and organize them into topic sentences…home business…what I need to do ..help I can expect from others...how will I market….how to increase my customer base...how to track expenses for tax deductions


3. Budget

Do some careful research and find out how much money setting up your home business will cost you. Be sure to include products, inventory, advertising and promotional materials, rent, utilities, telephone, internet, office set-up, freight, etc


4. Check personal finances
Evaluate your current budget..what money is coming in, and where your money is going out. Can you cut back on spending (non-essentials) to save more. Are you willing to sacrifice short term pain for long term gain? Can you find a second job temporarily or get a loan?


5. Timeline

Put your home business plan of action into one document. You know what you need to do to achieve your goals and when you want to do it. Break your plan up into smaller goals, and put them along a timeline. This will not necessarily be the exact way it pans out, but if you have a rough idea of when you want to achieve your goal, you have something to work towards.


6. Steps to action

Now you are ready to carry out the steps to achieve your goals.This is where your ambition will give you optimum fuel for motivation, determination and positive attitude. Even if something unforeseen happens, do not accept failure as an excuse… go back through the steps you have taken and see if there is a way you can overcome it.



SHORT (FASTER DUPLICATION) PLAN
Again, you are focusing on building a home-based business based on network marketing concepts (leverage and duplication). Always remember, no other home business comes close to the potential of this industry, but it must be done right.


Draw two goal posts and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals:


HERE: GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)

THERE: GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future independent lifestyle


This straight line represents all the steps and psychology from the LONG PLAN…brainstorming, budget, timeline, ambition and motivation, actions


Now what’s the easiest, straightest way to travel from HERE to THERE


1. Educate and Empower ..I understand the business concepts about this home business and I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! Our success is the greatest ambition to do more..


2. Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and residual commissions.


3. Use a simple 3 Steps Marketing Plan for leverage, duplication and long term residual income. Enjoy a lifestyle with time and money freedom.


It doesn’t get simpler than this for education, focus, ambition, motivation, action steps, and home business success.

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!
