Nothing Long-term was ever Easy

Are you Really Living a Life of Freedom?

Everyday is a vacation in my world, as my work can be done from a beach, a swimming pool, a yacht. I have no employees, no boss, no time clock. I work when I feel like it, and I play when I feel like it. I don't have payroll, I don't have long commutes, I don't make excuses, I just do it and enjoy it. My office is a chair by the pool, my kitchen table, or a table at Starbucks. I'm no longer addicted to a paycheck, I'm addicted to a life of freedom with options. When life gets hard, I get better. When life gets good, I don't stop. When fear sets in I just move my thoughts elsewhere. I don't work 12 hours a day like most leaders in my industry, I am authentic and if I'm going to pitch freedom to my friends & family members, dammit - I had better be living it, or I'm a big fat liar.

The Types of People You DO NOT WANT TO RECRUIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS

When I joined my first network marketing company 6 years ago and bought my first batch of leads, I will never forget spending countless hours chasing the wrong types of people to join my opportunity. This always resulted in failure or people who felt sorry for me, or to keep me from chasing them to simply hand over their credit card and join our company and I would never hear from them again. Since then I have gone on to build teams of thousands, but it took a lot of trial and error to learn this business and I certainly was not an overnight success.

I believe that unless all the people in your downline are housewives who just love to talk to all their friends and have huge networks, you will have to resort to recruiting people, more than likely outside of your own network to make any real money in network marketing. I'd like to save you 3 to 5 years of frustration of the type of people you don't want to recruit into your business even if it means sacrificing some up front commission. Unfortunately, these types of people probably make up a majority of the people that are either in your organization or people that you are chasing right NOW and my words to you are STOP. I've only ever seen 1 guy that is in the group below ever do anything and he quit after 30 days. Again if you are chasing people like the ones described below STOP NOW. Now if they approach you and they have a big enough WHY, of course don't turn them away, but again DON'T go out of your way to sponsor them. The truth hurts, but someone has to tell you.

The Types of People listed below you do not want to RECRUIT For your MLM Business.

have not done well in their business or profession and have little money saved up to invest

have no previous experience owning or running a business

have no previous experience in sales, or hate the idea of selling anything.

have little or no experience developing business relationships other than that of employer/employee/co-worker

are constantly negative and complain about everything under the sun.

have unrealistic expectations of the amount of work involved compared to the revenue realized

There you go. I just saved you a few years of working in the wrong direction.

If you'd like to work with me and you're not in the group I just described than email me or visit my website at http://www.thehomebiz4you.com to learn about the most exciting home based business in North America today.

How I Network

Someone asked me today how I network. So here is the answer - Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin), online classified ads, purchased leads, people I bump into on the street, referrals from people who know of my business, my email list of several thousand people, my video blogs on YouTube and Viddler, my network marketing blog & weight loss blogs on Blogger, and my Personal Development Word Press Blog at johnlowery.biz. I guess you can say I do a little bit of everything consistently, as I never stop looking for people and building my networks. The only people I ever would call out of the blue who haven't requested information are people who already know me, or someone who I really think could do well in my business.

Why Customers are so Important....

If you're struggling to recruit business builders into your biz, turn your focus to customers. Customers are the lifeblood of any business and should be a big part of your business. Customers are also much much easier to acquire for the new person just getting started in the industry. If you can't attract customers to your business, you might really want to look at your company numbers in terms of customer acquisition. Unfortunately, many products in the direct selling industry would not sell if there were not a biz opportunity attached to it. I know, as I have been in companies like that previously I would not be in a company like that again today.

Another great reason to recruit customers is if people like the product they tend to re-order, especially if your product is a consumable. I've also had a few customers turn into distributors, which can even add more dollars to your bank account. Once somebody is hooked on the product, it is always much easier to get them hooked on the business opportunity as well.

If you're interested in a home based business or feel your products in your company are not really all that attractive outside of your distributor camp then check out my business, where we have a 9 to 1 customer acquisition (2nd highest in the industry) http://www.thehomebiz4you.com

Whats The Best MLM?

It's been a wild ride in the economy around the world for the past few years. I have witnessed more people losing their homes and assets more than any other time in history. The naysayers are still out there saying it's only to get worse, but I personally think that we are getting better. And I believe the same for network marketing. More and more people who have been stung or know people who have are now looking at the world through different eyes, than they were 4 years ago before the Big Collapse. And even though many network marketing companies have been effected and most aren't worth joining. Now that the tree has shaken, I'm going to share with you my favorite network marketing companies today, based on a few factors - timing, average people making money, and momentum. So here are my top 5 Right Now. 1. Visalus Sciences - This company is 7 years old, debt free,promotes a 90 Day Challenge that helps people lose weight and get fit. They alsoh have one of the best pay plans in our industry that even rewards people at only the 2nd rank with a Free BMW.
