MLM Training- It’s NOT About Mind Set for Success- But Heart Condition

 After 23 years in this industry, 14 years fulltime in MLM, and 9 years
training, you learn some things. Sometimes they are NOT what you want to
learn, but yet, you must learn. The road has been an interesting one, and a
blessing in disguise. There have been so many people that I have watched
come and go in Network Marketing, and many disillusioned. You may know some
as well.

Network Marketing Training- Bill Gate’s Success Training for Graduates

 

Life is Fair? HAA! 

Someone sent me this and I LOVED it.

He tells it like it is.

 Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill
Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not
and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically
correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality
and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! 

Rule 2 : The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect
you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. 

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You
won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. 

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. 

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had
a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. 

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about
your mistakes, learn from them. 

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are
now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and
listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you
save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room. 

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS
NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give
you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. 

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and
very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on
your own time.. 

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to
leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. 

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

You gotta love it!

MLM Success- The Secret to Growing Network Marketing Success

IMLM and Network Marketing Success.

 love this article! Of all that I have been blessed to write, this one tells it like it is.  Everyone looks at hurt and pain as a bad thing. But sometimes it can help develop you in ways that you are not aware of. 

  ” A person dies daily, only to be reborn   in the morning, bigger, better, wiser..”

Unknown

Criticism.

Embarrassment.

Rejection.

Self Doubt.

Arguments.

Stress.

Jealousy.

Hurt.

Pain.

Heartache.

The list of pain in life goes on and on and on.

but…There is Good News!

At times during your day you will feel a little piece of you inside almost “dieing” from someone’s words, anger, criticism, and the like.

But…

A seed has to die in order to create the growth.

Are you aware of that?

A seed has to die to create the catalyst for the new growth to shoot forth.

Life is like that too. It teaches you lessons about growth from the seeds it plants in you daily.

And with the Morning coming, you will know that it is a brand new day and that yesterday has planted it’s seeds, and now you wait for the growth that will take place to propel you to greater heights.

Life hurts at times…we know that.

But when a little piece of you inside feels like it could die due to pain from other folks.

Let it and the growth of a better and wiser person will shoot up from that seed of hurt someone planted yesterday.

It may not sprout overnight…but it WILL grow.

And you WILL get through what you are currently facing, whatever seed that is..and no matter how painful….how strong.

I promise — Been There  — Done that –got the T-shirt.

I’m still here.

You WILL succeed in MLM and Network Marketing.

MLM Training- Your Number One Job in Network Marketing is?

 

Frustration can be a killer to your business. And rightfully so, as we all go through frustration from time to time.

You know –where you don’t feel like doing anything. Talk to anybody and you are starting to doubt this business really works.

At least for you. Been there?

You right now may be thinking that you want to do this business, but nothing is working and you seem to be working your rear end off. You make the calls, and nothing happens. You follow up and nothing happens. Your prospects disappear without a trace.

You are thinking–”Can I REALLY do this?”

But yet you are BUSY.

Busy at doing what?

There is a difference in MLM between EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE.

The average distributor in this business is Efficient. Bur LEADERS in this business are EFFECTIVE.

EFFICIENT we have heard is doing things right. And yes, you must do things right or this business will not work as it should.

EFFECTIVE is doing the right things and THEN doing them right.

Most people in MLM never grow past Efficient(If they even grow at all) and they work their enterprise the best they know how, and yet it seems to never really move that much.

You seem to be doing everything right.

But the question is — are you doing the right things?

There is only one thing we will ever get paid for in MLM and that is COMMUNICATION. Simply:

Your Job is to do one thing:

Create EFFECTIVE Exposures and a LOT of them.

That’s it for the new person. That is what you should focus on and no more.

Here is a Radical Paradigm Shift for you:

Your job # 1 is NOT to sell. Your job is NOT to recruit. Your job is NOT to train. Those are FRUITS of an EFFECTIVE Exposure. Those are what GROW and Blossoms from an EFFECTIVE Exposure and Communication.

Your JOB #1 is to create an EFFECTIVE exposure about your business and products through magnetic communication which attracts the prospect to take action.

You may be BUSY, but busy at making ineffective Exposures, which are killing your business and your self esteem and it it can be corrected so easily.

What creates an EFFECTIVE Exposure?

Three things:

1) IMPACT.

Your job is NOT of INFORM but IMPACT. Most people who are BUSY and EFFICIENT focus on DETAILS –Facts, and the information. Folks who get rich in MLM create an IMPACT and they are not focused on Details but Destiny. The prospect’s destiny–they move the prospect on the inside by talking about what waits for their life and future on the outside.

They are not focused on their paycheck –but the PROSPECT.

And they are not focused on the Process as much as the Power of Change as they know they are in the LIFE CHANGING BUSINESS.

2) Emotional Connection.

You must create an Emotional Connection with the prospect.

How?

Simple –you focus on what they want to change for the better or add to in their life the most, and then show them how your business and products can help bring that into their life.

They must develop and emotional connection to the product, or the business, or you as a Leader and you must create the possibility that what their life is missing can be obtained through you and your company. And then show them how.

With an EFFECTIVE Communication called a PRESENTATION.

3) VALUE.

Let me ask you a question:

Would you buy a car that had no value to you?

Would you buy a house that had no value to you?

Would you buy a pair of shoes that had no value to you?

Of course not.

Guess what?

Your prospect will never start moving towards you as long as they don’t see VALUE in what you are offering, what you are doing, and who you are.

VALUE RULES SUPREMELY!

You MUST show Value to the prospect in everything that you do and say.

How?

Find out what THEY VALUE in their life, and show them how your Business, Products, and YOU can help increase that in their life. I call it the “4 Major Wants of Lifestyle”:

People are looking today to “INCREASE, EXPAND, ENLARGE and EMPOWER their and their family’s life” and you simply must show them how you can help them do that.

What are you spending your time doing in MLM?

Selling?

Recruiting?

Training?

Being BUSY?

How about getting EFFECTIVE at Exposing your business and products, and let all of the above be a FRUIT of your actions –not the sole focus?

If you do that, your results will blossom abundantly like fruit on a tree–a MONEY TREE!

And your growth will be UNSTOPPABLE in this business of MLM and Network Marketing.

MLM Recruiting- The 5 HUGE Mistakes Made in MLM Recruiting

In mlm recruiting, there is a standard belief that you must understand. It is this:

We get paid to do one thing, and one thing only. It will determine 95% of your paycheck and that is:

Communicating with people.

I have said that before and I hope you understand, we are a business of Communication with marketing blended into it. With that in mind– There are 5 HUGE reasons why people fail in recruiting in network marketing.

And after studying and being in the industry for nearly 22 years , I discovered there is a pattern that I saw that developed with people who were struggling with their recruiting, which usually is the majority of folks. And I hope that you will look at these 5 reasons and see where you can change your focus and efforts to a more productive and effective style of recruiting.

Here are the 5 reasons for Network Marketing Recruiting failure:

1)The Distributor is not talking to people.

Yes, you read that right. Amazing as that sounds. There are many people who lead people to believe with their words that they are actually recruiting and talking to people, but they are not. They are busy at building a facade of an mlm business and never really engaging the conversation and contact necessary for success. Why? Fear of many things but that is the biggest reason. And how do you overcome it?

Find a recruiting partner who will help emotionally support you and help you whether it is your upline or sideline, and work with them.

Yes, there are folks out there who truly are talking to no one, as they are scared. If you see no action happening with someone in your downline, it may be a “silent talker.” In other words, someone who talks about recruiting, but is silent when it comes time to recruit.

You MUST communicate with folks if you are going to have success in the marketplace. Imagine — fooling yourself into believing you are truly working this network marketing business this way. NOT!

2) The Distributor is not talking to enough people.

This is an interesting thing. There seems to be a comfort level with people that says, “I have talked to “X” number of people, and nothing is happening, so that means I can’t recruit because this doesn’t work…” Again–NOT! I have said this over and over:

INFERNO Secret:

One of the biggest reasons failure occurs in Network Marketing, is too many distributors spend too much time with too many people who have too little interest.

Talk to a lot of DIFFERENT people. It amazes me that someone can say they talked to a lot of folks, and in reality they talked a lot to a few folks who have little interest — all because they don’t have to go out and talk to NEW people.

INFERNO Secret:

In recruiting, NEW blood keeps the heart of your business pumping.

Talk to ENOUGH people and talk to people ENOUGH but don’t turn them off. Go on to a new person, and see what happens with that person verses trying to force someone into the business who later will only leave with a bad taste.

3) The Distributor is not talking to the right people.

Wasting massive amounts of time.

That is what most distributors do when recruiting, and continue to do. They talk to the wrong people, and then bring in the wrong people and then have a downline of mostly wrong people.

Who are the right people?

People who light up and catch fire when you show them this business, and then light other’s up when they talk. Not someone who complains after only 2 days because the application is the wrong color, or the wrong size. Or the upline is not doing enough to welcome them aboard. 2 phone calls is not enough– you know the type.

There is what we call the “Recruiting IQ” and that helps tell you if they are the right one. IQ stands for “Ignite Quickly”. And if they catch fire quickly they have a great chance of being the “right one” to pursue in network marketing.

And here is a Secret:

To attract the Right One, you must BECOME the right one. You must become who you want to attract into this business through personal development and empowerment.

4) The Distributor is not talking right to people.

This is a business of communication and of verbiage and emotion as well.

INFERNO Secret:

A lot of distributors are simply saying the wrong things to the wrong people with a wrong message. You must talk to people with a YOU focus. it is called the T.I.N.Y Focus.

Their Interests Not Yours.

And you focus whether online or offline, on what interests them and do it Professionally.

Nothing turns someone off worse than a self focused and self absorbed distributor who is only focused on recruiting a person for THEIR reasons. Not the reasons of the prospect. And the words they are using reveal a lot…

“Me –me –I — I –me –me –I — I — me– me –I — I — me — you”.

INFERNO Secret:

You should say the word “You” at least 4 times more than the word “I” or “me”.

Exercise:

Here is an exercise. Try recruiting someone without using the word “I” or “me”. Use we and us and see how the prospect’s interests increases as you use YOU 4 times more than Us or We.

5) Talking too much to people you are talking to.

Some folks have diarrhea of the mouth. And they talk. And talk. And they talk. And then talk. And talk. And talk. And by the time they finish –the mlm prospect is finished.

Don’t “Dump” on people! Create a RECRUITING ENVIRONMENT that allows the prospect to do most of the talking. Ask a lot of questions.

Listen a lot of minutes. Ask a lot of questions.

INFERNO secret:

Most people LOVE to have an audience, but they hate to BE an audience. You BE an audience of one, for massive listening to your prospect, and don’t create a “Sat Chat.”

What is that?

A Saturation chat–where they feel saturated with your words and info, and feel they have enough information to tell you…No.

If you are going to be a HOT recruiter, you must CONNECT with your folks. And the best way to do that is to become an audience of one. And ask a lot of “Magnetic Questions.” If you do, you will find massive Success in Network Marketing and MLM

MLM Training- The Success Power of Listeningin Network Marketing

“Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of Listening when you’d preferred to talk.”

Doug Larson

Less is More. Especially in Network Marketing and MLM.

What does that mean?

Less talking is more powerful in network marketing, as you increase your arsenal to succeed and win and expand your bullets to hit the Victory bullseye through the Incredible Power of–

Listening.

Do you realize Listening is a Power that can be exercised and tapped into and with it, you can change lives — including your own with in mlm business?

My mentor taught me that.

I can hear him now–”Doug, Listening is the Million Dollar Skill. Master it, and you have mastered the Power Core of Communication, Connection,and Caring in Network Marketing found in the Heart of Success”.

If you study great leaders, most were great listeners, and learned from it.

If you study the superstars of mlm, you will find the same, as most are great Listeners.

Who do you know that is a great leader in Business or your Community?If you study them, study their Listening habits. Study how they listen, how often, why they listen, and how they respond.

It could be a million dollar education.

When you listen next time with someone as you are talking or presenting to them, give 100% attention,and don’t let anything distract you.

Remember — this is their time with you. Respect it.

Lock onto not just the Moment, but the Message within the Moment. REALLY Listen and you will be suprised what you hear that you’ve missed before.

For this article, let’s engage:

1) An Active Listening. Not just with your ears, but also with your eyes and heart.

2) A Powerful Body Language. Look in your folks eyes, and lean their way, to show connection.

3) A Caring Focus. Listening starts with the heart.

4) A Content focus. Listen for the content,not just the intent.

5) An Empowering Attitude. Encourage and edify all that has been said, show gratitude for them thinking enough of you to share.

When you listen, you are:

Leveraging (& ) Increasing Success That Empowers Now.

Your Listening will Leverage the Power found within it to Increase Success in Empowering the Now.

Absolutely nothing can Empower a situation, a moment, or a person, for Success in Network Marketing,like Focused, Magnetic listening.

People are not only Attracted to it but compelled to be a part of it and are drawn towards it.

The Power of Listening truly is the “Million Dollar Skill” in MLM.

Most People treat it like a 5 dollar attitude.

My Mentor also said:

“The last word in listen is ten. Listening is 10 times more Powerful, and Success Attracting in the long run, than talking.”

Are you Listening? That is THE secret to Communication Success in MLM and Network Marketing.

MLM Training- The Words that Changed My Network Marketing Career

 

If people realized how easy it is to succeed in MLM, they would not believe it. It takes more mental energy to whine, complain and be a slacker than to massively and radically succeed. “

Doug Firebaugh

Easy.

Just as it take only 54 muscles to smile, it takes 81 muscles to frown. Seems that it is more work to create a negative impression then a positive impression–almost twice as much.

Seems that people are more willing to work hard, than smart; more willing to work negative than positive.

Why do we focus on the hard parts of living verses the easier parts?

I used to be that way.

I looked at things as I always had and there was no use in really trying to Succeed as life was somehow “fixed” and I was on the losing end.

Boy was I wrong.

The Words that Changed my MLM Career.

Sometimes in life, you meet someone that totally changes everything about your perspective and view of life. I had such an encounter with someone that was worth well over 20 million dollars. I was blessed to spend some time with him, and he told me something that blew me away and multiplied my network marketing business.

It touched me to the very core of my soul, as I had such a “light go on.”

This multi millionaire shared something with me that changed my life:

“Success is easier than failing. It may take a little longer, but takes a whole lot less out of you. Failure takes you to an early grave, as it takes all the fun out of life.

“Failure stresses you and your body out, creates very damaging internal pressure, creates high blood pressure, invites disease in, damages your emotions, and makes life 10 times as hard as it should be! Focus on Success and not only live longer, but live larger!”

He was SO right.

The moment I DECIDED that MLM success was easier–

It became easier.

The moment I decided that Network Marketing was fun because I was helping people and transforming lives, it became fun.

The moment that I decided that Success was my destiny,and not failure, it became my destiny.

Let me see –MLM became easier, more fun, more large, and Massive Success became my ultimate destiny–sounds like a HUGE life plan to me!

Focus on successful efforts and living, and refuse to listen to those folks who want to die early! Reject the negatives in life, as you do not want those Success Cancer cells getting into your life and dreams.

Don’t you deserve better in your MLM and Network Marketing business?
