P.S. Just wanted to mention, this is NOT a recruiting event. I want to clear up any confusion. A few of our newbie marketers are presenting the company and product as any other MLM.
We do NOT recommend that you jump company to company. Our product is, however, the most valuable resource available today for any individual, network marketer in any company, small business owner or entrepreneur looking for massive personal and business success.
This is an issue I will continue to address as you can gain great benefit without joining our company as a marketer. If you want to find out about the business, you can do so below.
Last Tuesday, we recorded a presentation where we talked a little bit more about what we’re doing, you can watch it here =>http://onlineprosperitymastermind.com
My Ultimate MLM Training that I’ve been working diligently on the last few months is almost done. I am very excited.
I’ve kept it mostly under raps, only talking to a few trusted people about a few aspects. However, it has come to my attention that some very big names in the industry have been working on similar concepts.
I’m really excited to realize that my vision is very similar to that of some of my greatest mentors. That just confirms that I am on the right track, and headed in the right direction.
If you have been grappling with the decision of whether I, my company, or both may be right for you, I want you to be able to advantage of this before it becomes widely known.
I will be picking 10 people from my team in my current primary, as well as 10 new people to personally mentor on implementing this in it’s beta form. There will be no cost for it. Ultimately, I will be selling this program for between $297 to $397 in its final form.
There absolutely are costs to join my company, if you are one of the group not yet on my team who applies for one of those slots and is selected.
This is absolutely the future of network marketing success and the only way to go if you want to take your current primary MLM business to the next level in 2010 and beyond.
It’s not top tier, it’s not that offline doesn’t work, or that the internet doesn’t work. It’s not that it has to be a certain company, though the right kind of company and one that is aligned with your core values is very important.
It’s not the product or an attraction marketing system, though a product with great value will help, and the right marketing system will help you leverage this powerfully.
If you are interested in testing this for free, you should contact me in the next two weeks. (The date of the original post is January 27th, 2010).
I will only be taking 5 people who already have their own primary MLM business. The other 15 will be from my team or new and highly qualified additions to my team, in my current primary.
I will need testimonials when I go live with the final product, which is why have great vested interest in mentoring you and empowering you to succeed with this.
I will require it to work for people of little experience, and different primary companies, before I sell it, which is why I’m only personally mentoring people meeting specific criteria in the beta test.
The testers will be -
10 of the best recent additions to my primary MLM team
5 brand new sign ups to my primary MLM team
5 experienced network marketers who already have a primary MLM business they are working currently.
As of now there are 20 19 slots total, with 5 slots available outside my team and my primary MLM business. Contact me at 303.210.0106 or 720.389.6069 immediately if interested.
You will need to follow my directions explicitly to be involved. Don’t worry, there will be tons of room for your personal creativity within that.
This is going to explode in 2010, and you will be hearing more about this new Ultimate MLM Training from very big names in the industry, if you have not already…
To your unbounded success and happiness in 2010 and beyond,
My MLM business and the personal development I’ve done as a part of it have definitely transformed my life. In the last 5 months I’ve made such a dramatic transformation that my self from 6 months ago probably would not believe it, had you told me then.
I have gone from serial entrepreneur to serious entrepreneur in just a few short months, after 8 years of dabbling at businesses on the side.
I finally realized that having a hobby of running businesses would never help me break free of my job. Running non-profit organizations from my home was not the solution to my challenges.
Here are some of the changes I’ve made -
How I deal with stress. I don’t take stress and sleep with it.
I no longer start my new day with stress that has been building for months or even years.
How I deal with daily irritations. I used to allow these to escalate to anger. It is extremely rare that anything irritating escalates to anything more now. This is extremely liberating.
How I talk with my family about things I don’t approve of. I can be firm, without getting upset.
I never have a bad day, only a few challenging moments. (This is an affirmation I learned from Jeffery Combs, but it’s actually become true for me).
I have learned the importance of thoughts. Brian Tracy says we can only focus on one thought, positive or negative. Our choice.
By applying the last from Brian Tracy, I have dramatically changed my level of happiness and self esteem.
The last two points are so important, I would like to focus on them a little more at the conclusion of this article . The transformation in who I am and in my personal relationships is truly remarkable. This is beginning to seep into to my business relationships and connections as well.
If you would like to grow an MLM business or become a successful entrepreneur, ongoing personal development is the only way to guarantee success. To exponentially grow your profit potential, you should be investing about 5% of your income, time and energy toward growth and personal development.
This is about 8.4 hours per week, the equivalent of 2o minutes per day plus 6 hours at some point once, or 3 hours twice, per week. Most of us spend far more than that on entertainment.
For a $40,000 per year earner, as I was, that is about $166.67 per month or $5.55 per day. I used to spend more than that every day on just coffee. When I calculated the numbers based on my adult life and income. I figured I was about $20,000-25,000 behind on this essential investment.
I will make this up over the next two years. If I had put the 8.4 hours I mentioned into personal development since the age of 18, that would equal nearly 10,000 hours of personal development and put me close to the level of extreme mastery.
With an adult life span of 62 years from the age of 18 to 80, just twenty minutes per day would put you midway between the point of basic mastery (about 5,000 hours) and complete mastery(about 10,000 hours) for most subjects when you reach 80 years of age (around 7,521 hours).
Do you feel like this is worth 20 minutes per day? I believe it’s worth 8.4 hours per week, honestly.
Here’s an even better plan. If you did 8.4 hours per week from the time you are 16 years of age, missing on rare occasions due to emergency, you would reach complete mastery of personal development at around 41, my current age.
How do you feel that kind of commitment would make your life different?
If you asked someone like Tony Robbins how much time and money he invested into his personal development, and what his assets are, as well as his level of happiness, I believe the answer would be very interesting.
If your income has stagnated for years like mine did, you may be way behind on this. Don’t expect your income to catch up overnight…when you spend three hours reading a self help book that you paid twenty dollars for.
If your MLM business is not growing and producing the reults you deserve, you should really take it up a notch with regard to your personal development.
I have made some of the strongest and most important business connections of the rest of my life over the last few months.
These are the key points of this transformation -
You can focus on a positive or negative thought, not both. The negative will drain your energy and repel what you desire. The positive will give you energy and attract what you desire.
Taking small, consistent steps leads to exponential growth. Don’t overwhelm yourself. It’s better to do something small and never miss. Read some personal development in your required area daily, even if just 15 minutes.
Your results today are a manifestation of yesterday’s beliefs. Change today’s beliefs to change tomorrow’s results. (I’ll give Jeff credit for this one too though I’ve heard similar thoughts from the Buddha and many other enlightened individuals).
The Law of Cause and Effect is the foundation underlying everything. To change the effect, understand the cause.
I hope that you will take what I have learned about the value of personal development and transform your life. If you are an MLM business entrepreneur, I hope you will utilize this to transform your business as well, moving into long term relationships and massive profit rapidly.
To your unbounded success and happiness in 2010 and beyond,

If an MLM business is something you’ve been looking at, you have may have some great reasons for not joining. I definitely would agree that making the right choice of product, company and the team you will work with is of powerful importance.
One of the difficulties is that many would be entrepreneurs do not have the background or expertise to determine what MLM business might be right for them. I certainly did not. I did tons of research and was more confused at the end of it than when I started.
In the end maybe I was lucky, or had an angel watching over me. Seems like a haphazard way to get involved considering that, as with me, you may have a family to consider when making this choice.
In the end, I just went with what seemed like a great team who had answers to many of the challenges faced by network marketers every day.
The issues of lack of money, lack of qualified leads, lack of marketing training and lack of duplication were designed into the system. By choosing someone who was getting results, had experience and who I connected with, I found someone who had already done the due diligence and found a fantastic company and product.
Since we both (me and my sponsor) were skeptical and did a massive amount of due diligence, you are looking at a team where people did not rush head first into an MLM business.
However when I realized the nature of the company, the product, and the amazing leaders involved, the choice became really easy. This may not be of great help. If the time you have left before your savings run out is of great concern, and you don’t have a great new prospective job, you may need to make a quick choice.
I believe that if you have indeed found the right company and product, it should be pretty obvious to you the more you research them.
I absolutely understand and empathize with you on that, as it was the same way for me. You don’t want to wait until your resources are gone to start out as an MLM business entrepreneur.
I certainly could have benefited from getting into the industry sooner, from that viewpoint. I do believe that you are exactly where you are meant to be and choose to be. There were lessons I needed to learn as an entrepreneur, before I took on the fantastic challenge of being a network marketing entrepreneur.
If you are new, it takes some time to gain traction. Obviously, being decisive and finding the right team/company/product and getting started is imperative if you are running short on time and finances.
Here is the thing, we are a lot shorter on time and finances than most of us realize. Most people do not truly grasp the magnitude of the mess our economy is in, because they are focused in on their personal financial situation.
It doesn’t help that the news is so negative about the economy, while not even showing us the facts on just how bad it really is. It makes things quite confusing for most people.
I am very positive about my future and opportunities and excited to be living today. At the same time I am sobered by the bleak reality that many people face. If you are a negative, cynical, & skeptical person, I highly recommend you do not read the rest of this article. It likely will not help you.
If you are extremely positive about meeting challenges and creating your own reality, read on and watch the videos. This will be very motivating for you.
If you believe that time is of the essence, based on your own personal financial and job situation, you would be shocked if it was revealed to you the potential exponential negative impact that the economy and other issues facing us today may have on your personal finances over the next few years.
Population growth – It has taken us from 10,000 B.C. to 1810 A.D. to reach from 1 million to 1 billion people on the planet. In the last 200 years we have added 5 billion. In the next 42 years we are projected to add 4 billion more.
It is thought that the earth can support between 9-12 billion people based on what we now know. This issue obviously must be dealt with.
The strain this will put on every resource financial and otherwise is difficult to fully grasp.
The fact that we are turning the corner on oil production does not make this picture any rosier. Species extinction, and water supply also have accelerated at a phenomenal rate and are turning the corner as well.
What’s really mind blowing to me is where we are with regard to economy, money supply and inflation. It takes money to create solutions, right?
It’s really interesting that I stumbled across this video series just after writing a chapter in my new book that discussed these issues a little. It looks as if I may have to devote an entire chapter to this, or write another entire book.
I obviously did not touch on this subject in enough detail in my book, now that I have seen far more of the actual data which is shown in this series.
With respect to our paper money, we have historical examples of 3800 currencies that have collapsed due to inflation and mismanagement. We have created in the last 4 months enough money (1 trillion) to equal all the money created in US history prior to that time.
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but our economic growth is not moving at that pace.
So how does this all impact your personal finances?
Well it’s this. This kind of inflation will make savings or the small hourly wages produced by most jobs evaporate as if by magic. It is imperative that we produce more profit than we currently feel we require. The value of the money we have and earn almost without a doubt will drop dramatically over the next several years.
The only real question is when it will accelerate to the point that everyone recognizes and accepts it to be true.
The MLM business and direct sales fields historically lead out of recessions going back to the great depressions. Massive fortunes have been created by those who moved into these industries at these times.
I believe that the potential for huge profit, and the fact that success here is ultimately based on growth and personal development, makes this the only choice for those people who truly care and also believe in themselves.
Creating profits that that may outpace inflation gives the potential to meet the economic challenges we face.
Developing ourselves to the truest measure of our full potential that we can achieve gives us hope to be able to solve the tremendous challenges our world faces.

I believe that there is no challenge so great that it cannot be achieved, but I also believe the time of sitting indecisive on the sidelines is long past. Find something aligned with your core values, and start now.
Are you using attraction marketing online? Are you effectively creating influence with your network?
I was listening to a favorite training of mine with Brian Tracy about the power of how you think & how self doubt can ultimately destroy your potential for an entire lifetime.
Afterward, another of his audios started playing automatically and since I was doing work at that point that did not require creativity, I just let it play.
It turned out to be a great refresher of some important concepts relevant to attraction marketing. It brought me back to my Dale Carnegie “How To Win Friends And Influence People” training.”
(Which I need to listen to again by the way).
The most effective leaders are people who have mastered the skill of creating influence, not those who just have a title or position of some sort.
I am reminded of Princess Diana, who was so powerfully effective at creating influence. Even after her divorce and her title was stripped of her, she retained more popularity and influence than her royal ex-husband would ever have.
The number of people who tuned in to the funeral of this commoner and ultimate persuader numbered about 2 BILLION. Nearly half the world’s population at the time was in attendance.
This was not due to position, wealth or title. I would love to speak with someone who knew her personally.
I’m sure it would be revealed that she was a master of the age old art of influence, which both Dale Carnegie’s book and course, as well as the Brian Tracy training, “Communicate With Power” are based on.
Attraction marketing today could use a dose of this powerful relationship skill. These are the foundation of leadership and creating influence, such that people willingly do anything you ask.
It’s all about making people feel important and raising their self-esteem. This is how you become a leader, not by commanding others.
The keys that Brian gives to creating influence are known as the 5 A’s. Many of these are the same or similar concepts as you find in the Dale Carnegie book as well.
Acceptance, or the need to be accepted for who you are by others. This is as simple as just a genuine smile.
Appreciation, or saying thank you for any gesture, no matter how small. This raises both your self-esteem and that of another.
Admiration, or complimenting others on a trait or quality they possess, or something they have worked for.
Approval, praising others specifically about something they’ve done immediately after they do it.
Attention, or listening when someone talks. This is the most important key to leadership and persuasion.
The last is something I’ve grown remarkably at since getting into attraction marketing and can only imagine the magnitude of the success I would have had as a sales professional had I been a master of this in my previous career.
Brian gives four keys to attention since this is the most powerful and important of the five. They are:
Listen with your full attention and don’t interrupt. Lean forward eagerly, hanging on every word.
Always pause before replying. This will help you avoid the cardinal sin of interrupting, help you hear at a deeper level, and show that you consider what they said valuable.
Question them for clarification. Questions like, how do you mean exactly, or how did you feel about that are very powerful.
Paraphrase in your own words back to them what they said.
This is just one small part of what I learned out of this training, but these concepts are so universal anything I’ve ever read in the area that they are very important for anyone wanting to be a master of attraction marketing.
For attraction marketing success and to become a great leader, you must become a master of creating influence. You must listen and listen well.
He who listens ultimately controls the conversation.
These concepts are only a small part of that audio training, but so very important. If you would like that entire powerful $20 audio training for free, it is just one of the $135 in trainings I give away as a part of the free gifts package for people who subscribe to my newsletter on the right.
To your unbounded success and happiness in 2010 and beyond,
If an MLM business is something you are considering now or have thought about, these questions may be burning up your brain.
Your family and friends may be thinking, or asking, “have you lost your mind?” This may be even more of an issue if, like me, you’ve been a serial entrepreneur or in (and out of) network marketing for years.
If you’ve been trying to figure out a way to achieve complete time and financial freedom for years, your time may have arrived.
It’s interesting to note that the same people who are asking you if you’ve lost your mind, or thinking it, are often the same ones who are willing to spend thousands of hours per year on mindless entertainment like video games, television, and surfing the internet.
These same dear loved ones won’t spend 15 minutes a day doing something to improve themselves and their value to the marketplace often even after they’ve lost their job.
MLM business and direct sales statistics and data over the last 60 and 100 plus years respectively don’t lie, however. On average, over time, about 97% of people who start in an MLM business or direct sales don’t make it. They quit.
This puts you in a tenuous position with today’s economic chaos. You must decide not if you can make it in these professions, but will you make it. As Yoda said in Star Wars, “There is no try, only do or do not.”
I suggest that if you are considering being an entrepreneur in network marketing today, you decide now to succeed or just figure out some other option.
Almost every person joining my team in the last couple of weeks has been a displaced professional.
One fantastic guy who joined a week and a half ago has a 7.5 months pregnant wife. He was working and living about 4 hours away in another state to take care of his family. He was going start an MLM business part time.
I told him, “Let’s get you in profit in two months so you can be home with your wife and new baby where you belong.” He called yesterday and told me that he had lost his job and was ready to go full time and create $7 Million in assets through network marketing in 5 years.
No crying about it, no complaining, no blaming others, just, “how can I make this the best thing that ever happened to my family?”
This is exactly the kind of person and mindset that should be in an MLM business now.
Now I’m not recommended you get involved with potions, lotions, pills & deals. I believe a lot of those over-priced, high competition products and MLM companies will not survive a recession. XELR8 announced yesterday they would not be paying reps for marketing their product and recruiting anymore. Making the choice of the right opportunity is more important than ever.
Now that we’ve discussed some of why network marketing may not be for you, let’s look more at why others are getting involved and why it might be the ultimate chance for freedom and profit.
There really is no more powerful way to create passive, residual profits and gain freedom in a recession. The data does not lie.
The best way to help the poor is to not be one of them.
Your friends and family are losing jobs left and right. Look around. How many times recently have you heard of someone saying they’ve lost their job or had their hours or pay cut?
The economy is getting worse, not better. When I keep hearing of more job loss and businesses shutting doors, you can feed me all the manipulated data you want about the economy improving. I know the truth.
Out of control spending makes inflation a when, not an if.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I worked my way through the ranks over twenty years to be directly under a company owner, going back to college twice. I still watched my job evaporate last year.
You will build new connections and relationships with exceptional people in your MLM business. I am working with people all over the world.
An MLM home business can save you $5,000-10,000 per year in taxes.
There are certain industries that always grow in troubled times and lead the economy out of recession. Network marketing and direct sales, ongoing training and education & personal development are some of the most powerful in troubled times. Writing and being an author is another area of growth.
My current MLM business is in every one of these fields.
It’s up to you, but this is not the time to be indecisive.
Now is the time to master your fears and discover who you were born to be.
If you are, or absolutely believe that have it in you to be, one of the exceptional three percent, now is the time to find the right company, team and product for you, and for these times.
It’s time for a review of iLearning Global. Since I got into this industry, I’ve done reviews of other companies and many other topics relevant to the MLM business, but never revealed to you about iLearningGlobal.
I’ve actually never done a review of my own company. I did not want to just use my sites to say “hey join my company.” I believe it to be the ultimate company in the direct sales industry however, and it would be unfair of me to not review the company at some point.
Today is the day for iLG. This is a review of iLearningGlobal from someone who did join. I would like to reveal to you the secret of why I settled on this company and why I joined.
My initial approach was the same as many others with no knowledge of the network marketing industry. I was pretty skeptical of the industry, because I did not understand the business model.
I had been introduced to several opportunities by some great people, but the products just did not make sense to me as it seemed we were headed for a real estate crash end economic trouble.
I could not see how companies selling over-priced products, with similar products that could be bought elsewhere for far less, would do well in a recession, much less guarantee the profit or results I required to reach my goals and dreams.
I went to presentations for MonaVie, Young Living, Amway & Pre-paid Legal & researched a host of others. None of the products or companies really clicked for me.
The methods most of them used for recruiting to me seemed like something that should be under a museum glass.
Where was the leverage, the use of cutting edge technology, the global reach of the internet, of the cutting edge communication and sales techniques of today?
It’s still all about relationship building, but there are tools today for that which massively leverage your time and efforts. None of these companies really seemed to me to be using them very effectively.
Most of it was just make a list, meet for coffee & show them the plan or place some classified ads, send them to a corporate replicated site or share the product and hope they buy some.
I mean, I am a professional. There are much more sophisticated and effective methods that create far more leverage of my time and money in 2009-2010, right?
Indeed there are!
And yet, almost every current great business leader and multi-millionaire that I follow was talking about network marketing being the most powerful opportunity for profit and freedom in our time.
How could I reveal that ultimate opportunity that seemed to be completely hidden? I ended up stumbling upon it searching the internet one day.
The most important thing I discovered looking at other MLM business opportunities, was that they were all created from the old red ocean business mindset. When I discovered iLG, I realized that I had found a true blue ocean network marketing opportunity.
It was a secret that was hidden in plain view.
iLearning Global has massive value innovation with tremendous barriers to anyone who might attempt to compete with them. Pretty much every company I had looked at before that was prone to low cost imitators and competed in product areas where there sometimes hundreds or more other competitors. Some of the barriers are:
Their technology for delivering the content
The relationships they already have created with the best of the best in every relevant field
Their value versus cost proposition – $4 million in content, updated weekly with the most cutting edge information, and only $100 per month for unlimited use
Nobody else already in the field doing what ilearningGlobal is doing.
In addition iLG was perfectly aligned with my core values, a company I could feel great about recruiting my Mom into.
This is not just a business for network marketers and it’s not just a product for people into personal development.
As a product, iLG is relevant to individuals, entrepreneurs, small business owners, network marketers or anyone who values and understands that personal development/ongoing education has been proven to be a very powerful determinant in your quality of lifestyle.
Poverty or lifelong struggle versus being a millionaire or better is worth 30-60 minutes per day of reading and personal development for me, and many other high caliber people as well.
As a business opportunity iLearning Global is not just for network marketers. A huge percentage of the people being attracted to this company are displaced professionals. What better business to be in when you’ve lost your corporate job?
A business where you build relationships with other quality people, improve your skill set and is booming through a recession is a pretty ideal place to be.
Many of us will never go back to a job.

I wanted to do a quick post & update on how my MLM business is doing and where things are headed in 2010.
As of last week, I had 6 sign ups in my primary the last two days of the week, which means my business is officially paying for itself.
Over the last 6 weeks or so, I saw the end of my corporate job and career working for someone else. I will not go through that pain & struggle again.
Over that period, my decision to move from corporate America into being a full time entrepreneur in the world of providing training, marketing & network marketing has been confirmed. Over the last 6 weeks in my corporate job, I received only about 4-5 leads.
I honestly don’t know how they are even going to stay in business. This certainly was not enough work to meet my family’s requirements.
I know that many of you reading this are at this very moment struggling with the same decision.
For me, the story began long before that, but things really came to a head in August of 2009. Having been in a seasonal industry where things peaked in the summer, winters had historically been a struggle, & I would play catch up in the summer.
August was usually my best month for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. However 2009 was very different.
In August of 2009, I found myself deeply in debt & actually looking at my family being homeless. A convergence of circumstances made this a real possibility.
Volume & leads in my corporate job had shrunk to a point I’d never seen in the peak summer months.
Every vehicle I owned was broken. As a sales professional I had to be able to get to appointments. With this, my debt & lack of income, I actually was staring in the face of something I said I would never allow to happen again in my life…homelessness.
I had even tried to liquidate any of the things I owned of value, with no success. This was a painful time & very humiliating.
Working as much as 100 hours per week had not given me the freedom I wanted & deserved.
I had been dabbling at being an entrepreneur, spending thousands of dollars & hours of what I could spare with various online businesses. I had been a customer & been to meetings of various MLM business opportunities with friends & business associates. I had done tons of research on the industry.
I was 100% sold on the industry offering me the financial & time freedom I desperately desired and deserved.
Though they were great people, the products, companies and leadership in all of these options did not seem guaranteed survival in a deep recession.
Toward the end of that time I stumbled across a fantastic product, company, mentor, team and marketing system, & hit the ground running with that.
I was the most wise decision I’ve ever made in my life.
I’d like to thank everyone who was instrumental in this, but space is too short here.
First of all I want point out my sponsor/mentor & his awesome wife. Thank you David & Ashley Wood. I also want to thank my mindset coach, Jeffery Combs, who helped me to see, think & feel differently. I want to also thank my #1 upline leader Brian Tracy for his fantastic training.
In addition, I want to thank Norbert Orlewicz, Brian Fanale & Todd Shlomer for their vision & passion for excellence, as well as for creating & continuously improving my marketing system. Cindy Sutton has been fantastic as well.
In addition I want to thank all the awesome team members here for working to empower each other & creating a lasting culture of excellence & awesome vision for the future.
There is no recession in MLSP & iLG. I want to encourage you to create your own economy in 2010, and realize that this recession is only real if you allow it to be. Take your MLM business to new heights in 2010!
MLM recruiting should be the focus of your business for a set amount of time every day. Ideally it should be 2-3 hours each day, 5 days per week.
To most people that does not sound like much, but it’s amazing how few people in the network marketing business do that. It doesn’t mean pitching every friend or family member. That isn’t really MLM prospecting. It doesn’t mean asking every stranger to join your business. It doesn’t mean cold-calling anyone you can get a phone number for.
It doesn’t mean spamming your new friends on facebook & twitter. It doesn’t mean posting ads all over other people’s walls.
What’s important is that the failure rate in network marketing is about 97% of every new person that joins. When you ask people to track their time & what they are doing each day, you find that people do everything but MLM prospecting & MLM recruiting.
Organizing their leads, working on getting the appearance of their blog right, buying some new training, shuffling paperclips, surfing the net looking for some secret are all things that take the place of what is absolutely essential.
This is one of the key points that was common among almost every speaker at the training conference I went to this past week. They all shared different insight, strategies & techniques for many aspects of your business.
However, I think there were very few that did not touch on this point. You have to let go of your fear of connecting with people & spend some time recruiting people into your network marketing business.
In fact, if you were going to do only one thing & nothing else, the only thing you could do exclusively, neglecting all else & still have a successful MLM business is recruit quality people into your team.
Why then do most of us do everything but MLM recruiting?
It really all comes down to self-esteem & mindset. You must realize that you are a talent scout. No matter where you are you should be looking for sharp individuals who connect with others well.
Now I don’t care whether you want to use my fantastic marketing system & leverage yourself through internet MLM. I don’t care if you want to wander in public places looking for the right people. I don’t care if you want to find a way to get quality people on the phone.
All of those things matter with respect to how much leverage you will get, but none of them is the deciding factor for your success.
What really matters is do you have the guts to stay in the game long enough to meet the right people(scout talent), qualify them(prospect) & then recruit them. If you do not, you will not make it no matter your product, company, marketing system or whether you’re offline or on the internet.
If your self-esteem is such that you don’t connect with people it doesn’t matter how you market your MLM business.
For instance, if I am doing MLM prospecting in public while about my daily affairs, I have a simple way of finding the right people. Understand that I am not looking to recruit everyone I meet. I’m actually looking to disqualify as many as possible to get to the best, so that I only spend time on those that are worth it.
It doesn’t mean the others are bad people, it just means why invest your time in someone who is going to “give it a try” & then quit in 3 months.
You want leverage & you will not get that by baby-sitting people who should not be entrepreneurs, whether online or off.
If you want to find the right people offline, just in chance meetings, try this:
* When you are out & about, every time you pass someone, smile & attempt to make eye contact. If they don’t return your smile & or they avert their eyes and/or look down or away, they are the wrong person.
* If they smile and return eye contact you have already made a connection. They have potential. About 8 or 9 out of 10 people will not pass this test. Go out in public & verify for yourself.
* Speak with those that return your smile & your eye contact. If they are warm & willing to connect with you, you have a winner. Introduce yourself & ask them a little about themselves.
* DON’T pitch your MLM business.
* After you’ve let them talk about themselves for a minute show some genuine interest, break off the conversation indicating you have an appointment.
* Tell them you would love to hear more, and get their contact info. Then move on.
You just scouted talent & you now have a prospect who doesn’t think you are a jerk. If you are the person who averted their eyes & did not smile back, you may have a struggle ahead of you no matter how you choose to build your business.
If I was MLM prospecting in public and this was the case, I would not have invited you into my team.
Look at your self-esteem, mindset and connect-ability in public chance encounters & you’ll have a pretty good idea of your chances for success and how hard you’ll have to work to achieve it.
MLM recruiting starts with connecting & that is absolutely the lifeblood of your new network marketing business.
I just wanted to give you a quick up date on the Dallas “More Heart Than Talent” event presented by Jeffery & Erica Combs of Golden Mastermind Seminars, since I had been on the road & was not posting on my sites & networks for awhile.
I made it to the first day of the event on January the 7th & I was beat up. For those of you who don’t know, this event featured people speaking like Jeff & Erica Combs of Golden Mastermind Seminars & others.
I heard Craig & Giovanna Garcia, Robert Butwin, Myron Golden, Todd Falcone, Mark Hoverson, Eric Lofholm, Robert Shemin, Ken Dunn, Norbert Orlewicz, & others speak.
I arrived the afternoon of the 7th & did miss some of the earlier speakers the first day, unfortunately. However I did make it there & make it there alive, so I chose to be grateful, & make the most of it.
This was quite the journey, unlike any of the other hundreds of road trips I’ve made throughout my life. I got about 90 minutes from Dallas at 3 AM in the morning and hit black ice, did a couple of 360’s & ended up in a ditch stuck, but alive & in one piece. I called for my towing service and they were going to be two to three hours.
In the midst of an arctic blast, I knew that was too long with the amount of warm weather gear I had (not much of anything). Very fortunately, a trucker stopped to offer me help. We managed to get me out of the ditch but damaged the radiator in the process. I spent the better part of the night & the morning at a Wal-mart trying to stay warm.
During that time I worked to find a way to Dallas with no luck. It was far too cold to try & fix the car then, as I was freezing with multiple layers on just being inside the car without the wind blowing directly on me.
I finally managed to get the cracks patched with waterweld late in the morning. My cell phone had died & I was not able to reach the people I was in contact with who were trying to assist.
I want to quickly thank my sponsor/mentor & his wife. David & Ashley Wood are fantastic people. They went out of their way to try & find a way to get me the rest of the way there. About the same time as Ashley found a shuttle bus & bought me a ticket to Dallas, I was outside patching my car together.
I arrived in Dallas after being up for over 36 hours. I figured it was already afternoon, & after all the challenges, I might as well go to the event for a few hours before it was over for the day.
I got a few nice insights out of this for you:
The right people come along to assist when you truly require them.
Another was the Brian Tracy insight about how we verbalize our situations. I chose to look at this as an opportunity for personal growth, not a tragedy or obstacle.
Solving this & getting the rest of the way to Dallas required me to think in a non-linear way. The quick & effective problem solving I did to get it handled was pretty amazing.
I am one persistent guy, which you must be to have success at a new entrepreneurial enterprise in network marketing.
This event was well worth everything I went through to make it happen & I highly recommend any of Jeffery Comb’s seminars & products. If you can make it to the Orlando event with Cedrick Harris on January 16th, you deserve the benefit you will receive there. I forgot to mention above, Cedrick’s speech was phenomenal!

Mindset really matters for MLM success. Some of you may be getting tired of my mindset posts, but the responses I get are usually very positive.
I keep coming back to this topic partly because of the continued positive benefits to my business results & my transformation as a leader from adjustments in my mindset. Here are a couple of favorite quotes from the great Jim Rohn that really apply here -
“Success is a process, not a payoff.”
“Set a goal to become a millionaire, for what it will make of you to achieve it.”
You are always in a state of growth or decline, there is really no stasis. Sometimes you may be just barely inching forward. Sometimes you may plateau in a certain area, and then back it up a bit to be able to continue your progression.
In example, two steps forward, one step back. Another example would be progressive resistance training. It is nearly impossible for most people to continue to progress in any kind of physical training without backing off the intensity and/or volume once in awhile.
A quick side note is – those that do progress for weeks or months at physical training of some sort have exceptional mindsets.
The point here is that when I talk of being in growth or decline, I’m not speaking of your workout plan or some other certain area of your life, I’m referring to your personal development as a whole.
Growth leads to MLM success & achieving your dreams, while decline leads to loss, death & aging. Be honest with yourself & evaluate whether you are in a state of growth or decline. It is possible to grow as a person until your very last breath.
If you do so, you will remain sharp, retain a youthful mind & achieve your dreams, your purpose & your potential to the very end. I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt who died in his sleep & then they found a book under his pillow. Constant personal growth was the way he lived his life to the very end.
I’d like to invite you to be aware of your mindset & growth constantly. Make sure that you are always doing something for your personal development & to move you in the direction of reaching your full potential.
Even it is reading only 15-30 minutes per day in your field and/or watching educational video 10-30 minutes per day, do something.
This has been an absolute key to my success thus far, and every study done on millionaires & billionaires has found a close correlation between spending time every day on education/personal development & their level of success.
One of the other commonalities found among millionaires, is their perception of obstacles & their terminology regarding them. People who are extremely successful always look at these situations as a chance for growth.
Rather than an obstacle or problem, they consider them challenges, or even better, opportunities. This opens up your subconscious to potential solutions, rather than keeping your mind trapped in struggle or at the level of the problem itself.
Great MLM success is achievable through constant attention to mindset & making that habit.
Part 3 – Free MLM Leads – MLM Lead Generation For Qualified MLM Leads (MLM Home Business – How To Get Massive Leverage With Internet MLM series)
This post is all about Step 2 in the “How to Get Massive Leverage With Internet MLM series, which is creating traffic.
This means free MLM leads, but especially qualified MLM leads. Many of us have utilized traditional methods of MLM lead generation before.
Things like cold-calling genealogy leads and buying MLM leads from lead companies are old hat, and are not very effective at generating qualified MLM leads for your time and money invested.
There is a saying that give a man a fish he eats for a day, but teach him to fish and eats for a lifetime. This is extremely relevant to the process of getting MLM business leads.
Even if you find a quality source where you can buy qualified MLM leads, and those leads are actually worth the time and money you’ve invested, there is no guarantee that source will stick around or remain productive.
Learning to create your own free MLM leads is a much better use of your time and money. Marketing skills pay you very well and they also cost a lot if you hire people to market for you.
Doesn’t it make more sense to learn these skills yourself?
By generating free MLM leads yourself, you will have complete command of the quality and amount of leads you get, and you also end up with a skill set that you can use to make money. Again, marketing pays extremely well if you are great at it.
This is one of the areas where many network “marketers” are lacking. It’s kind of ironic to have your title be network marketer and not have a clue how to market, don’t you think?
With the advent of social media and the proliferation of internet capable devices globally, the ability to market with phenomenal effectiveness has been put squarely in your hands.
Spending time on social networks is completely free and with the right training you can do extremely well there at creating qualified MLM leads for your MLM business.
There are now marketing systems for MLM as we discussed in the last article - MLM Home Business, which not only provide you with many tools and methods for MLM lead generation, but that also give you the training to utilize them.
Some of the extremely powerful methods are social media networking as I mentioned above, as well as article marketing, video sites like Youtube and hub pages.
For qualified MLM leads, social media is a phenomenon of amazing reach and power, which you already probably know unless you have been living in a cave.
Article marketing, video sites and hub pages all capitalize on one really powerful concept. You use their already established authority and huge numbers of back links to rank for extremely competitive keywords you could not easily rank for on your own.
If you are marketing a corporate replicated website, or even a new site where you own your own domain, you are missing some very important things when you start out with your MLM business.
New sites do not have authority with Google, so they will find it nearly impossible to rank in the first five to seven results on the first page of Google at the outset, as is needed to get any organic (free) search traffic.
They also have no sites with authority linking to them. It is very hard to rank for any worthwhile keywords in these circumstances.
Google will not create a lot of valuable links to corporate replicate sites and they will maintain low authority with Google.
What this means is that the free traffic that is available by someone just searching your keyword and you ranking highly on Google’s first page is pretty much out of reach to you as a new or replicate site operator.
If you need MLM business leads, you can certainly pay to get people to your site through Pay Per Click, but using Google PPC is out of the reach of most cash-strapped new MLM business owners. In addition, if you don’t already have the experience with it, the learning curve is steep and expensive.
Many of the people who quit network marketing in the first 90 days do so because of lack of MLM leads and lack of money. Google PPC with no experience when starting out can cause or worsen this situation very quickly.
If you are going to start with PPC, I would highly recommend Yahoo or MSN to get your feet wet. The cost is much lower, which will allow you more time to learn these skills based on the same budget.
MLM lead generation to get qualified MLM leads is just some of the training we provide. It’s in all of these areas and many more, such as forum marketing, listbuilders & ezine/solo ads.
MLM business leads are absolutely essential to your success, but being able to control and create the flow of highly qualified MLM leads into your business on your own gives you command over your ability to create results.
If you have not done the $1 MLSP trial yet, this is a fantastic way to learn some of these skills for next to nothing, while evaluating whether this training and this MLM system can be of benefit to your current primary MLM business.
First of all this is really a loaded question, since people, comp plans, companies and situations vary widely. You are bound to hear this kind of question, so I’ll do my best to answer this one intelligently.
This is really the wrong question, because most people don’t stick with the MLM business more than three months before they quit. Most people also never earn more than $10 per week.
This is probably not what you want to hear, but it’s true. Many very successful people have advised the young entrepreneurs they are mentoring to set a goal to become a millionaire.
One key point is that the first million really doesn’t have a lot to do with the money, though I’m sure it’s a pretty cool thing to have a million.
(I’m not all the way to my first million, so I’m speculating).
Every great success mentor I have worked with says something similar to a quote by the great Jim Rohn – “Set a goal to become a millionaire. Not for what you will make, but for what it will make of you.”
If you are not committed to the process of transformation, and what will be required of you to make it through this process, you most likely will never make it there.
Sure, there are things like lotteries and gambling than can get you there overnight. What’s very important to understand is that statistics show that people who are handed this kind of money, without having to go through some personal growth to get to millionaire status, are right back where they started in a year or two.
I talk a lot of mindset on my blog, and I can’t drill the point in enough. If you want to make a lot of money in network marketing, you must devote yourself to feeling like a millionaire and taking on the habits of a millionaire before you get there.
A huge amount of the time that I put into my personal development & training is devoted specifically to mindset and creating the type of habits/skill set of the millionaires that I work and mentor with in this industry.
I’m going to go ahead and give a few examples of what is possible, since everyone reading this wants some specifics. Keep in mind that most of the examples that you hear, including the ones I will give here, do not include discussion of the two, five or even seven years of struggle and work to get to these levels of monthly income.
This just confirms what I mentioned above about the process and your level of commitment to work at creating the right mindset and million dollar habits being so important to any level of success in your MLM business.
With that said let’s look at some specific examples:
Statistics over time show that 97% of network marketers never earn more than $10 per week
Some people earn $300-500 by the end of their first month
A close friend and mentor of mine earned about $80,000 in his first 4 months with our company (with no prior experience in internet MLM, but about 5 years prior experience in the industry).
One of his upline leaders earns $50,000 per month after about 18 months in the industry, with no prior experience.
Another mentor of mine averaged $400,000 per month at the height of his career.
This mentor has an associate that averaged $700,000 per month. Both of these men struggled and worked for several years before they achieved these results.
In Tim Sales’ interview with a CEO of a network marketing company, it was revealed that he personally had seen checks of $1.25 million per month.
Superstars like Mark Yarnell and Ron Puryear probably had individual months even better than that, based on the income results I’m familiar with.
So you see, this question is not so easy to answer accurately with respect to the numbers.
What is key is that even if you are average, you can sponsor someone at the high end of these income results. You are the CEO of your organization, no matter where you fall in the hierarchy.
What this means is that if you are persistent and tenacious, you can sponsor a Mark Yarnell into your team too. This is where the true potential lies.
If you devote the time, effort and dedication to get to that point and you stay in the game, you can become that top earner by virtue of finding that amazing person for your team.
In my team training with Mark Yarnell a couple of months ago, he revealed the power of being consistent and inviting people into your MLM business every day. ( You can view my article covering the gold nuggets this $30 million dollar earner revealed here – MLM Training).
He explained that the vast majority of your income results for a year are usually based off of the efforts of 5-10 of people out of the minimum of 7200 people he recommends you speak with in a year.
This is where the rubber hits the road. When you ask me how much you can make and how soon, my response is – “How much tenacity and commitment do you have?”
To your unbounded success & happiness,
