The Internet can be an incredible tool for promoting yourself, your products and your opportunity.
There are a few “housekeeping” thoughts you should know about the Internet and the role that it can play in your business.
First of all, don’t expect that the Internet is going to take the place of building the relationship with your prospects or the “human touch.”
The Internet is the greatest sorting tool there is, and it will sort through your prospects and deliver to you someone who is looking for what you have to offer.
As soon as your prospect fills out the contact form on your website, or makes contact with you in anyway, now is the time for you to pick up the phone, if you have a phone number, or make personal contact with your prospect in some way.
PLEASE DON’T MISS THIS POINT.
Also, don’t waste any time getting back with these prospects. If someone is willing to take the time to give you contact information, use it! Every month, without fail, I hear from interested business prospects who have completed four or five forms online and I am the only one to call back or make contact. And, guess who sponsors them? Me, that's right! Set yourself apart and call those contacts!
Those who think that the Internet is going to replace the human factor involved in Network Marketing will never experience long term success.
Another important housekeeping note is to remember this simple concept - "If you wouldn't do it offline at a party, don't do it online in a forum or community; or social media site."
Don't update your wall on Facebook with posts about how much money you or someone is making in your opportunity. Don't litter Twitter with hype and bogus claims.
Here's the thing - no one who is a serious candidate for you business believes any of that anyway. People who see and respond to those ads are looking for a quick, simple fix, and we all know that it doesn't matter who the company is; the big name behind it; the product line; or the comp plan - this things don't guarantee success!
Build relationships online and you'll build a strong, lasting business.
EXPECT Success!

Are You Looking at Failure As Growth?
Many people are looking for the blue print to success for their business and the ultimate network marketer.
While successful distributors DO come from all walks of life, thereare a few similarities behind many of them. And, most are rooted in their beliefs. Same goes for those who are successful in any endeavor.
Here is a top belief -
I cannot fail, I can only learn and grow. Wow! This is powerful and will release you from a lot of frustration and anger if you heed these simple words and get to the root of what they mean.
Nothing in life is a failure, it is only a growing and learning experience and instead of getting angry, try looking at the situation and finding something of value there. This frees you to try risks and take on new things. If you go into any new venture knowing that at every turn, you'll have a chance to learn and grow and improve at your game, imagine what great strides you will take.
Top performers and achievers in all walks of life believe that the belief of failure is a concept created by the middle class that has no real validity.
Go with the mind set of growing and learning and you'll become more mentally tough with each experience, no matter what the outcome.
Someone says no to your business; is not interested in your products; or turns down your fundraiser? Oh well, this frees you up for more and better experiences and for the right person or people to show up. And, with the right mindset, they WILL show up!
How do I know? Well, I'm one of those who has collected thousands of "no's" in this business over the course of many years. And, alot of "yeses" along the way.
Try changing your thoughts around "Failure" and see what shows up!

MLM Success - I'll Show You Step by Step
Think about the top names you know in Network Marketing - Randy Gage, Mark Yarnell, Richard Brooke, Doug Firebaugh, Jan Ruhe, etc. How many of these people made it to the top by having some one take them step by step through the success system?
None of them, actually! If you've heard their stories, you know that they were given the basic concepts of the business and told to "go for it!"
So, if they can create success in their MLM business without having someone hold their hand, why can't you? What's stopping you?
You can learn the basics of Network Marketing – Contact, Invite, Present, Follow up, Sponsor, Train and Duplicate – in one day. You'll spend more time than that getting good at it, but that is how it is with anything you do.
The reality about success in MLM is that it is truly "trial by fire." Everyone is going to do things just a little bit differently. You must find our own authentic voice and style. It takes some time practicing and trying new things to find what that voice is. If you practice it with good intent, you'll make money while you discover your own style.
For me, my success has come by being what I call a "Solutions Coach." I love connecting with others and helping them find a solution to whatever their challenge is. Sometimes, that puts them into my business. Other times, it is about pointing them toward training that helped me. Still other times, it's just listening and helping them coach themselves past their fears and frustrations.
You don't need a step by step manual for MLM Success. That can be a recipe for MLM failure if you aren't careful. Find your path and carve it deep!

MLM Performance VS. Odds: Let's Be Clear
Oh, this one is a doozy, for sure.
Like many others, I have grown tired over the last 15 years, hearing about the "failure rate" in MLM and Network Marketing. I'm not sure about you, but when I started in the profession, I was skeptical, but certainly not going to "fail" if I decided to really invest myself in it.
I have also always wondered about those who want to know the "averages" of those in the business - average incomes; average sponsoring rations; etc. Who wants to be "average?"
Tim Sales really gets to the heart of it in his video and I invite you to not only enjoy 10 minutes of solid education, but decide for yourself where you fit into the equation and then share this video with everyone who has chosen the time and financial freedom that is associated with our profession.
It's "performance", not odds that determine whether one will be successful. It's actions, not just wishing. Thanks Tim!
