Reading is Fundemental

To continue our the topic of personal development, I'd like to share an old video I put together a couple of years back.

Check it out:

So if you already devote a consistent block of time daily to your personal development, great! If not, it's never too late to start. And if you don't know where yo begin, tune into my next post where I'll list out some of my favorite books and audios that have helped me over the years.

Devoting Time to Becoming a Better YOU

Network Marketing is a profession that anyone can succeed in. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, education, religion, geographic location, quite literally anyone can create massive organizations and the massive incomes that go along with them. So given this, why then is it that some do well in this profession while others fail miserably?

On Being an MLM Rock Star

What does it really take?

First enjoy this video and then we'll discuss.

You might be thinking, "What the heck does this have anything to do with Network Marketing?"

Allow me to explain.

Keeping Prospecting Simple

Let's take our discussion on simplicity one step further and talk about how it can greatly improve your prospecting efforts.

While some people are naturally gregarious and out going and find prospecting quite natural, for others like myself, the notion striking up conversations with complete strangers can be down right frightening.

What do I say? What do I ask? Am I prodding too much? Will this person think I'm being nosy?

These and so many more questions become such huge barriers to prospecting and though they're self-imposed, it can be monumentally daunting for shy and introverted people.

So what's the solution?

Connecting the Dots for Your Prospects

A couple posts back we talked about how simplicity is the key to duplication in Network Marketing.  We'll continue this topic today and explore the importance of keeping things simple for your prospects.

In your presentation, whether it's a hotel event, a home party, or a one on one, the goal is to get your prospects to see things the way you see it -- to see your products and your opportunity as the life-changing vehicles you know them to be.  Essentially, you want them to be able to put themselves (even if it's subconsciously) in your shoes and in order to do that you have to demonstrate how simple this business can be.

There are a handful of people who have made and continue to make a profound impact in my business and in my life.  One such individual whom I think we can all agree on is Randy Gage.

Trimming the Fat - Simplicity is the Mother of Duplication

Continuing with our topic from last week, let's talk about why stripping things down to the barest essentials is so important to the growth of your business.

As Randy Gage says, Network Marketing is a "business of teaching and training -- a business of duplication."  And when we're talking about the action steps of building a successful Network Marketing business, that's exactly what it is -- we teach and train our organization (or even just our personally sponsored distributors if you're just starting out) to duplicate what we've done to get to where we are.

Stripping MLM Down to the Bare Essentials

I love AH-HA moments.  They're my favorite.

While on a drive listening to Jordan Alder talk about duplication on one of the Network Marketing Mastermind CDs, I had one such moment.

"I became rich pressing PLAY on the DVD."  We've all heard this or at least some version of it.  And while I understood the sentiment I didn't really get it.

I mean sure, it's an analogy on how simple this business really is.  But that didn't help me.  I needed how to's, plan of action, the practical steps to build my business.  Or so I thought.

Has it Really Been That Long?... And is This Really #100?!

We're BACK!

Okay, so after much deliberation, I've finally decided to get off my tookus and breathe life back into this old blog. Partly because I feel now more than ever there's a need for it and I now have a better platform to speak from (a lot has happened in the past year). And partly because I enjoyed being a part of the online community and making a contribution the betterment of this wonderful profession called Network Marketing.

It's all quite apropo really for this entry not only marks my return to the blogosphere but it also represents the 100th article I've written for this blog.
