MLM COMPASS - Direction To MLM Success; A Proven Duplicable System » MLM Success

Electronic Income

Don Standard — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:49:14 +0000

I’m sorry. I mean to say…… Electronic Income Reducer.

Almost all of us have it. What we are really looking for is MLM Success. We want and need that proven duplicable MLM system. We want and need that like minded successful network marketing mastermind group.

But many allow the electronic income reducer to get in our way.

You know, the idiot box, the boob tube, the tube, the TV, the television set.

First, this electronic income reducer, is one of the biggest time wasters we experience. The one thing that can not be replaced. When we use time, it’s gone for good. Hope you used it wisely. We don’t even know how much of it we have left.

Second, this electronic income reducer, can create our beliefs. That’s right. Much of what we believe comes from our sources of influence. The news can influence us greatly. Advertising can influence us. Why else would they keep advertising to us if they were not successful at influencing us?

I highly suggest to everyone in network marketing, that they go on a Mental Cleanse. On this Mental Cleanse you would eliminate the TV, the radio, the newspaper, and negative people. You add reading and studying a good book like, “Think and Grow Rich”. You add a mastermind group and say your self talk at least 100 times per day. And, be careful of your computer use.

At Mentoring For Free, we offer a Mental Cleanse. You can get started by registering at www.30daycleanse.com.

I have observed people on my team. Everyone having success in their business has done or is doing a Mental Cleanse. I don’t know if all successful people are drawn to it, or if it creates successful people. But all of our successful people are there.

Learn to clear the clutter. Become a critical thinker.

To make more, you must become more. Check out the Mental Cleanse.

DODGING THE HEAT?

Don Standard — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:00:13 +0000

How important is it to put yourself in the best possible position for MLM Success? How important is it to choose a 5 Pillars MLM company to build? What is the value of experienced MLM management with integrity?

YTB is in the news again. They always do a great job of putting a positive spin to distributors on negative news. Can they do it again.

On July 15, 2008, Mr. Scott Tomer, Chief Executive Officer of YTB International, Inc. (the “Company”), announced that the Company is contemplating the replacement of its referring travel agent (”RTA”) business model with the implementation of a franchise operating system, potentially in 2009.

From Rod Cook and his MLM Watchdog site, we get more news on YTB. I am just going to send you to his site and let him show your what is going on and let him comment. After all he is well respected in MLM and loves to bring information to the people. Rod exposes MLM companies doing wrong. He exposes scams. But he is not one sided. He backs up companies being unfairly attacked.

Here is the link to the MLM Watchdog YTB Reports.

Note that there are many reports here going back a long time. The top report was posted July 16, 2008.

By choosing a 5 Pillar company upfront you will almost always eliminate the kinds of news we are looking at today. Experienced MLM management with integrity would not be discussing the possibility of changing from a MLM business model to a franchise business model.

Experienced MLM management with integrity would not be dodging the heat as Rod puts it.

Maybe tomorrow we should talk about the upcoming YTB convention.

New Ground Floor MLM Opportunity

Don Standard — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:48:12 +0000

Everyday it seems there is a new ground floor MLM Opportunity announced. Find your direction to MLM success with this new one of a kind business opportunity. We have a patented advanced compensation plan, a product used by over 200 million people daily in the US alone. And with our proven duplicable MLM system, no one will be left behind because we do 95% of the work for you.

Sound familiar?

Today someone asks me to check into this new ground floor MLM opportunity for them. Where do all these gamblers come from? Don’t they know that the failure rate for new companies is around 95% during the first two years. Already this guy could be looking at only having one chance in 20 of making it to the third year with his business.

Oh, but not this new ground floor MLM opportunity. These guys have been around since 1999. They adopted the retail business model for their product. It didn’t work, but you know what, the MLM business model is what they should have gone with.

Here is what I found out in a few short minutes.

The website does not list any information about the owners or managers so we can see what kind of experience they have in MLM or don’t have.
They have a single category niche product. It failed in retail so now they want to go with MLM. They claim 200 million people use similar products daily in the US. Of course those products cost about one tenth to one twentieth the cost of this product. Looks like they described a different niche.
There is no compensation plan on the web site. All I know is that they use the MLM compensation plan model.
I checked out the product. I have seen it in the retail stores. Of course it is not there anymore. The price has gone way way up now. A package of the product is about $15. Similar products can be purchased retail for under $1.
But there is science behind their product. Yep, one ingredient makes it different than some of the competition. But there is already competition well established who use this one magic ingredient.
So I know nothing about the people running the company, or the compensation plan. But still I go to see what happens when I want to sign up. I have to agree to the terms and conditions. Guess what? By agreeing I am stating that I have read and understood the policies and procedures and the company’s compensation plan. They want me to lie right off the bat. Where are these items for me to read and understand.

There is more, but any of these things is reason not to look at this company seriously. Yet people will probably flock to it to get in on the ground floor MLM opportunity. They will not recognize how the company is spinning negatives into what looks like positives.

Sadly most will lose their money. Some will lose their trust in people and MLM. Some will feel their failure was all their fault.

But the first thing people should be doing is properly evaluating an opportunity. Before anything else, you must put yourself in the best possible position to achieve MLM success.

When you fall for a company with even a small amount of the kinds of problems listed above, you are reducing your chance to succeed.

It’s time to get educated.

Finding Your Kingpin

Don Standard — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:46:15 +0000

The Kingpin Strategy may be the key to unlocking your MLM Success.

Even when you have everything in place like the best MLM company, with the best MLM management, the best MLM compensation plan, the best MLM products, perfect timing, and a proven duplicable MLM system, there will still be logjams in your business.

Just as you are facing logjams that are blocking your Success in MLM, the lumber industry constantly deals with logjams as well. Briefly, the best way to move the logs from where they were cut, to the mill, may often be to float them down a nearby river.

In doing so, there are inevitably logjams that happen along the way. The lumber companies have learned that these logjams can be caused by a single log that gets stuck in a position to block the entire flow of the logs down the river.

This one log is called the kingpin. Move the kingpin, sometimes just a little, and you free up the entire logjam.

Your business can be the same way. One little thing can be the difference in whether your business is moving forward or not.

Your kingpin blocking the growth of your business may be difficult for you to see. That is a big reason for having mentors that can help you find your kingpin and help you move it.

Your kingpin may be something in your belief system. Or, maybe you are not getting enough personal growth. Maybe it’s just your lack of skills or lack of understanding how to do something properly.

And unfortunately many of us started out on the wrong foot by putting ourselves into a position with little hope of success. What did you miss. The proven duplicable MLM system is missed by many. Did you miss that one? Are you now trying to find out why the business is not working for you? Do you just need to find your kingpin or is it something larger?

A kingpin I see often is people with an “agenda” to get people into their company.

And many of you just read that and thought, “but isn’t that what I am supposed to do”. Cool, now you possibly just found your kingpin. If so, the next step is to figure out how to move it. So about now, you are probably thinking that it really would be a good idea to have a mentor to help me.

It’s not just a good idea. You have to have a mentor. Your team has to have a mentor. Are you going to mentor them? Then you better have a mentor and learn how to mentor others.

And that is where Mentoring For Free can help you. There is a lot more, like the tremendous training you get for free, but you need the mentor.

Adopt the Kingpin Strategy. Have your mentor help you with your kingpins. You learn to help your team with their kingpins. Building a successful MLM business first requires everything to be in place to give you the best opportunity for success. Then you take massive action. Never stop learning skills and creating personal growth. Along the way there will be kingpins. Each time you find yourself in a logjam, find your kingpin and move it just a little.

Nail Your Prospect’s Passionate Sweet Spot

Don Standard — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:00:13 +0000

Include The Color To Success principles in what ever Proven MLM Success System you choose. Any Proven MLM Success System will be even better using these principles. Because…..

One question I’d hear over and over was,
”Why Do Some People Succeed, While Others NEVER Do?”
And the answer….

(an excerpt from chapter five of the book, Success In 10 Steps, by Michael Dlouhy.)

Nail Your Prospect’s Passionate Sweet Spot

I learned everything from Tom “Big Al” Schreiter. I plugged in, absorbed
it all.

I’d listen completely to his albums while driving. I’ve made a ton of
notes driving down the Interstate.

Never crashed, either.

One question I’d hear over and over was,

”Why Do Some People Succeed, While Others NEVER Do?”

And the answer that kept coming up over and over again was, successful
people made the effort to understand what really makes people
tick … what motivates them … why they make the choices they
make.

That is what really led me into the personality studies.

400 years before Jesus Christ, the Greek physician and philosopher
Hippocrates wrote about the four basic personality types.

In 1921, Dr. Carl Jung wrote the most detailed book ever on this subject.
He called the 4 personality types Feeler, Sensor, Thinker, and
Intuitive.

Florence Littauer later named them Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Melancholy,
and Choleric.

Since then, many others have written books and recorded audiotapes
on the subject, including:

• Michael O’Connor
• Kathryn Briggs
• Dr. Tony Alessandra
• Jim Cathcart
• Tim Lahaye
• Dr. Bernice McCarthy
• Jerry Clark

My personal thanks to all who have contributed to the personalitytype
knowledge base. Their research & conclusions are the basis for
our mentor training.

Color To Success

I know of no other subject that when used correctly can have such a
positive impact on your life and your business.

This stuff works.

At Mentoring For Free, we teach you Color To Success. Then we train you completely in how to apply it in our free live training calls.

The Go-Giver – Law #5 The Law of Receptivity

Penny Dude — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:00:31 +0000

This is the final law of the five from The Go-Giver. Come to Mentoring For Free to see how we apply these laws to building our network marketing business and reaching MLM Success. I think you will like the approach. I know you will if MLM has been a struggle for you.

The Five Laws of

Stratospheric Success

Law#5

The Law of Receptivity

The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

Now this law, I find that people have a really hard time accepting. We are so good at giving but it is hard to receive in return.

We all know and have been taught that giving is better than receiving and I know from my own experience that is how I feel.

But, receiving is the natural result of giving.

Joe describes it as “the secret to success, to gaining it, to having it , is to give, give, give . The secret to getting is giving. And the secret to giving is making yourself open to receiving.”

This law is a wonderful one and once you open up to receiving I would love your input.

We are both here to help each and everyone reach their goals and dreams. We love helping others the feeling we get is very hard to describe.

The Go Giver – Law #4 The Law of Authenticity

Penny Dude — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:37:30 +0000

At Mentoring For Free, we teach people skills, not sales skills. Skill sets you can use for MLM Success.

The Five Laws of

Stratospheric Success

Law #4

The Law of Authenticity

The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

Reading this chapter and understanding it was a eye opener for me. So many people really do not act like themselves and they really just need to be genuine.

Debra Davenport discusses how she learned every single thing she could to be able to close a sale. But for one full year it never worked. She studied what she was taught, did what they said , followed everything by the book. But still nothing. Then one day when she decided to quite her real estate business she let go and was just herself. She just got to know her client, have fun just talking and getting to know each other.

Then yes that day she had her first sale. First of many to come. But it was not till she was herself did her life change completely around.

What you need to do is add value to what you have to offer others. By adding value you can excel. If you need a little of something add a little value if you need alot of something then you need to add a lot of value.

Debra says “Reaching your goal you set takes ten percent specific knowledge or technical skills – ten percent , max. The other ninety plus percent is people skills.”

What are poeple skills? Liking people, caring about people, being a good listener, but the core to people skills is who you are.

“The most valuable thing you have to give people is yourself”

Learn to believe in you!

I would love your input on this chapter and if you need anything we are here for you.

Some VERY Bad Un-Fun

Don Standard — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:00:23 +0000

Could this be you having some very bad un-fun looking for a Proven Duplicable MLM System to build your network marketing business and create MLM Success.

(an excerpt from chapter seven of the book, Success In 10 Steps, by Michael Dlouhy.)

Failing at building a business. THAT is very bad un-fun.

The way I see a lot of people fail is, especially in the internet age,
they get started and then they go WAY off in some other direction,
not even realizing they’re getting farther and farther from their goal.
(Solutions for this in Chapter 10.)

Because of the internet, it is simpler than ever to set up a step-bystep
system to do the lead generation, follow-up, sponsoring & training
functions.

But the internet bulges with clutter and infinite choices. So the task
of identifying, coordinating, and implementing the components necessary
for success is often hopelessly confusing, way beyond the
abilities of mortal man (or woman).

Ironic, isn’t it?

The Go Giver – Law #3 The Law of Infuence

Penny Dude — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:54:33 +0000

The Five Laws of

Stratospheric Success

Law #3

The Law of Influence

Your influence is determined by

how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.

This law is an amazing way to help others and help yourself at the same time. But also takes alot to improve yourself to practice this in life.

See once you learn to look after other peoples needs before your need and not to expect to have the same in return. Things will really start to happen for you.

In the book Sam talks about forgetting the fifty-fifty proposition that it is a losing proposition. You need to give 100% and make your win about the other person.

See “your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.”

What ends up happening is once you learn to place other peoples before yours, your interests will always be met.

So what do you think creates influence??

Putting other peoples interest first.

Read more information on this law in this truely amazing book, The Go-Giver.

If you need any help with anything we are here.

If you take a listen to the interview I did with Bob Burg on July 3, 2008 you will hear how he explains each one of these laws in detail.

Bob Burg Interview

Also if you have not yet read this amazing book I would suggest you go out and buy it or go to your local library and take the time to read it. It is a very easy read and I could not put it down once I started.

The philosophy of “The Go-Giver” is the same as what we do with Mentoring For Free. We want to help as many people as we can in Network Marketing to get educated and not have to pay to get this eduction.

The Stupidest Lie They ALL Tell You!

Don Standard — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:00:41 +0000

They should be telling you about a Proven Duplicable MLM System to find MLM Success.

(an excerpt from chapter one of the book, Success In 10 Steps, by Michael Dlouhy.)

The Stupidest Lie They ALL Tell You!

The Heavy Hitters tell you “NO” is a good thing!

Go get 100 “NO’s”, they say. You’re just getting closer to a “YES.”

THIS baby is REALLY one of my favorites!

Isn’t it the stupidest thing you ever heard? What nitwit came up with
this idea? The word “NO” has taken more good people out of this industry
that any other word in the English language.

Picture this: all day long you’ve been flirting with your spouse. At
night you take a bath, candles around the tub, soft music, perfect for
romance. Some hugging, some kissing.

And your spouse says “NO!”

GREAT! Just 99 more “NO”s and you’ll get lucky!

And some nitwit says NO is a good thing.

Onward.

Marketing Insanity

The Hitters have more wonderful advice for you: “Talk to EVERYBODY
about your business opportunity.”

Oh, man, don’t get me started!

There’s an old saying you hear from time to time: the reason you
have 2 ears and 1 mouth is you should LISTEN twice as much as you
TALK.

Take a good look next time you see a Heavy Hitter. I swear, if
you look closely, you’ll see the guy has zero ears and THREE
MOUTHS!

OK. For the sake of argument, let’s see where their advice leads us.

Let’s say you owned a shoe store. You get 300 visitors. If you have
the right styles, colors, & price, could you sell some shoes? Absolutely.

But you’d never try fitting a corporate Secretary working at the
Trump Towers with men’s construction work boots. Not appropriate.

And not everyone wants your business opportunity.

This advice works great for the 10% of the population who are
salespeople (more on this in Chapter 5).

But if you’re part of the 90% who hate pushy, aggressive people,
THIS lie will make you feel totally inadequate to ever
build a networking business.

The key is target marketing. Just talk to people who want your products
and services. Lead with benefits so REAL

(end excerpt)

The key? I hope you caught that one. The key is target marketing. And at Mentoring For Free, that is what we teach. All the skills you need to create target marketing leads for your business.

Maybe you should read Success In 10 Steps, before you continue down the same old path taught by the heavy hitters. Before you waste more time and more money doing what doesn’t work for you or people you sponsor.
