Should you go with an established company?

How many times have you heard that you should only go with a company in network marketing that has been around for 5 years or longer??? That is great if you want to barely make a living, most companies that have been around for that long are more established making your job tougher to market. But there is some truth to that, you can be more certain the company will be around in the future. Of course in the last year, we have seen the collapse of many well known companies. Here are my reasons why I would try to pick a newer company knowing that companies in MLM don't fail any more than they do in the traditional world, as many would want to lead you to believe.

• Chance to be one of the first ones to take product to market
• I'm not good enough to compete with 900,000 other distributors
  
• Less competition among other distributors (It's been said that 80% of all wealth is created within the first 120K distributors of any one company).
  
• Company has not yet hit critical mass

These are just a few ideas. Would love to hear others as well.

Manifesting Money By Simply Giving

Have you ever wondered why some people struggle financially and others just seem to cruise on by? Do you think it has something to do with who your parents are, or which town you were born in? If that is the case, you are sadly mistaken. Each and every one of us has the ability to create financial abundance in our lives. We have all been programmed for mediocrity, or I should say most of us. There is a reason why almost every financial adviser advices giving off the top to people who are in financial distress. They understand 1 of the secrets of attracting more wealth. Everything in the universe is moving in vibration, when your thoughts start telling you that you don't have enough and you begin to hoard every dime away, you actually are telling the vibrations that you aren't worthy of money and your scared of losing it. With that mentality your certain to never have very much money and probably will lose what you have over time. I will just share one example from this evening and this happens to me all the time, so I know it is not coincidence. I was attending my kids cub scout meeting and the den lady asked all the parents if they would donate $10 to help pay for snacks. I waited about 10 minutes and walked up to the table and noticed not a single parent had put any money in the envelope, I then grabbed $10 of the $11 I had in my wallet and put it in the envelope without even thinking about it. Than just a few minutes later I got a phone call from a potential client confirming a 3 hour coaching session with me for way way more money than what I had just given.

The moral of the story is simple, you want more money in your life - find times throughout the day to give it away. I have had cars show up out of thin air, guitars, money in the mail that came just in time. Give Give Give, but don't give because you are told to, or for religious reasons, give with a cheerful heart - you just might put a smile on someone else's face and the universe will provide. As it says in the bible, "He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver."

How To Find Your Leaders???

How do you know who your leaders are in your network marketing business? Most of the top income earners say if you just have a handful of leaders in your organization you can become wealthy? So where do you find them? First of all, here is how I know if I have a leader on my team. I just created a new email training series for each new person who joins my organization, so I can spot a leader by simply looking in my back office and seeing who is opening the emails. The other way I can spot a leader is by how often they are calling me to check in. Most of my leaders correspond with me at least once or twice per week. You can also spot a leader by their sponsoring stats in your back office. If you see them putting up numbers than you know they are out their working it.

So now let's go to the flip side. When do you quit wasting your time with your distributors? Personally, I will always take time with anyone who is pro active, whether they sponsor 1 person or 20. However, here is the kicker that will save you tons of time and energy - Don't waste your time with your team members that don't respond to your emails, don't respond to your phone calls, don't ever call you for advice. As I always say, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot get the horse to drink". In other words you can share your words of wisdom and give advice, but self motivation you cannot create. So when after calling your new distributor for the 3rd time and they aren't getting back to you, than it's time to move on and work only with those that want your help.

Facebook is the #2 Most visited website

I think I have blogged about this before, but I am really becoming amazed. It's been just over 3 years since I entered the world of social media through a website called MySpace. I never took it too seriously until just a little over a year ago when I started using Social Media for business. Now things are really getting crazy! I log into a website at least once a week to see which websites have the most traffic and to my surprise I noticed that Facebook had gone from #4 a few weeks ago to #2 surpassing Yahoo as the most visited website in the world. That's right folks, Facebook is now the 2nd most visited website in the world. If your not on Facebook, I would highly encourage you to get on their and start building your brand for business. If you haven't already, keep in mind your competition is.
