What I Have Learned From Renegade Pro

Well, the buzz and hype is out there, no doubt. Have you jumped on the bandwagon?

Seriously, to give you an evaluation of the Pro Version of Renegade, here is what I have experienced.

First, there truly is GREAT value here. I was intrigued and didn't know for sure, but I have been very pleasantly pleased! Mike K. has a great style of teaching so if you are SERIOUS about learning the techniques that you can also duplicate to build a downline in MLM, this course might be right for you.

You'll have to see for yourself. Everyone has a niche. Mine just might be videos.

So, here is something I learned right away and put together in less than an hour, ALL with tools that already came on my laptop. (My desktop had it, too!) I put this video together while in my PJs, in bed, with my laptop. Does it get better?





This is truly something anyone can do with the desire to learn! I used Windows Movie Maker (already preloaded in my computer programs); photos I had already take; my Itunes music and my creative juices, ha!

Preview my Youtube Channel to see other videos I have created and see if video might be right for you.

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!

Have You Struggled With Internet Marketing Success

=======================================

I just returned from the MLMCruise where I met someamazing networkers and Internet Marketers. If you arepurusing success in either or both of these businessmodels, read on, you'll love this.


If you've looked into starting an online business then I bet you've discovered it's not nearly as easy as you've been led to expect, right?


Have you struggled with how to use Twitter, Facebook,online forums and other methods for getting prospectsto you? What about blogging, Search Engine tactics, building your list and Google Adwords?


The system and the answer is finally here, in one place.


There are a LOT of pieces to the puzzle - and most of the training out there is missing some (and much of it is pure hype, of course).


Even once you have all the pieces it can be confusing to make them fit together profitably.


In fact, Internet marketing expert Bill Hibbler explains that trying to start from scratch and put the puzzle together is a big mistake.


http://www.streetsmartcoach.com/affu


He admits he's guilty of making the same mistake, too. I know it was sure rough for me when I started9 years ago.


It's just too much for most people who are trying to get started part time on a limited budget, he says.


And he should know.


Bill's a best selling author, speaker, respected marketing coach, and he's got over 9 years of success online under his belt.


He's known for his 'pull no punches' straight talk, so when he said beginners should follow a totally different path to get started, I knew you'd want the whole story.


http://www.streetsmartcoach.com/affu


What's interesting is that the alternative Bill suggests isn't new... but with the arrival of high quality 'Internet TV' the game has changed completely.


I agree with Bill on this.


I think just about anyone who was even a little serious about getting started online will be able to easily do this.


Anyway, I thought I'd recommend you check it out.Take a look for yourself and see what you think.

Have an awesome weekend.

What does it MEAN to Build a Business Online?

These are questions I am asked a lot -

What does it mean to build a business online?

What is your strategy for building online?

How much time does it take?

How do I find a business that is a fit with the internet?


All great questions, and let's go through each quickly.


Question 1 - What does it mean to build a business online?

For me, it's not buying leads; it's not placing lots of classified ads; web surfing, etc. It's putting myself out there to be found, noticed, to make contact, etc. How many people do you suppose are online any given day looking for a business? Tons! I've detailed some of my steps and my journey -

http://www.squidoo.com/mlm-online-business


Feel free to leave your comments and questions at the bottom. Let me know you were there and I'll answer any questions.


Question 2 - What is your strategy for building online?


Business building is about relationships, so I like to network with people. I'm not about blasting onto the scene and nauseating everyone with my pitch on how great my business is. Who likes that? Yuck! Instead, it's about connecting with people. One method I use is social networking. Have you tried MySpace? I know, I know -I thought it was just for teenagers, too, but boy was I wrong.

Check it out and you'll get an idea of how the site works. If you have a page, request me as a friend and mention this blog soI know how you found me.


Another strategy I use online is creating content around things other than business that I have a passion about...such as cooking! Here is a page I created for Healthy Dinners. This is a great way to meet people outside of the business arena who might just be looking. (If you have a recipe request, leave it in the comments!)


http://www.squidoo.com/healthy-dinner-tonight


I have met some great people at Squidoo, learned a lot AND sponsored some new team partners.


Question 3 - How much time does it take? This all depends on you and your available time, but I believe 10 FOCUSED hours a week can build a solid online presence and then a solid team. Get disciplined though. You've got to be taking action steps.


Question 4 - How do I find a business that is a fit with the internet? This is a question I hear quite frequently. I recently put up a new site to teach people how to evaluate a business and how to factor in the 4 important pieces of choosing a business. Do you know what to look for in a business, once you move beyond the hype? Most people don't -

MLM Follow Up - The Fortune is in the Follow Up

There is a very popular saying in Network Marketing and it goes something like this - "the fortune is in the follow up." Consistent follow up is what separates the average networker from the "big hitter." Following up with your prospects consistently is what makes the numbers game work out in your favor.

Decades of study and tracking by marketers and advertising agencies have proven consistently that most people will not make a decision until they have seen or heard about it at least twice, and often more times than that. If you make one contact with someone and then leave it up to he or she to get back with you if interested, you are shortchanging yourself and stunting the growth of your business.

Most marketers will tell you making seven contacts is not unreasonable in order to get the sale.

Unfortunately, most networkers give up the pursuit after the first contact.

Think about how busy you are. Have you ever forgotten to follow up because you got so busy? Well, your prospect is no less busy, so chances are he/she got too busy as well. Don't make the mistake of reading this as a "not interested" sign.

My first sponsor in network marketing didn't make a dime for his first ten years in Network Marketing. Today, he is a million dollar a year earner. He consistently follows up and never gave up.

What if I told you that ten years from now, you would be earning one million a year? Would you stick with it? Would you wait it out that long? What if I told you that you wouldn't make anything for most of that ten years? And, you might invest $30,000 in your education along the way. Would you stick it out then? Would that million a year still make a difference?

What else could you do right now that offers the promise of one million dollars a year?
You are a winner! You are in for the long haul! Write out that million dollar check now and put it in your wallet or purse. Take it out each time you go to make those follow up calls.

MLM and a Down Economy - Does it Spell Trouble

Surviving in a Down Economy

One can't go anywhere these days and not read the headlines screaming about the dark days of the down economy. This often sends networkers in one of two directions –

Either they think their business has ended because too many people "can't afford it."

Or, they go full out because they see the opportunity that is there.

Will the current economic times have an effect on your business?

It truly is all in how you see it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is a so-called "recession."

When the economy is good, I have heard networkers say that people aren't looking because times are good. When times are bad, they aren't looking because they can't afford it.

Can't afford WHAT, exactly? A solution so they don't ever feel the pinch again? To invest in themselves instead of a boss? To take responsibility for their own destiny, once and for all?

Mindset is what it really comes down to. Some networkers stop working their business during holidays and slower summer months. Guess what? I joined my first company on Christmas Day, over 14 years ago.

When someone is serious (and boy, I was serious) nothing will stand in their way.

The best thing we can each do is BELIEVE in what we are doing and in our products/services.

Then, do what we do best. Sponsor someone, and teach them how to get a few loyal customers and find others who will do the same.

No matter who your company is or what your product is, what we do is simple.

Find those who aren't afraid of a few obstacles or "bugs on a windshield" and work together to create a recession proof lifestyle!

This requires first going deep within yourself and finding that true grit. Then look for others willing to do the same!

4 Network Marketing Success Secrets

What does it take to be successful in your home business? I asked this question for YEARS. I truly thought there was some hidden secret that no one was telling me.

Maybe there was a secret 800 number that one could dial prospects into that would make them sign up right away.

Or a secret training system that when followed, guaranteed success.

What was the Holy Grail of Network Marketing? What was I missing?

Here are a few things that top income earners kept telling me –

Invest in developing yourself. Read every day. (Huh? What was THAT going to do to grow my business? How would that create the income I desired?)

Pay attention to your "self talk." Replace the negatives with positives; even use affirmations. (Again, just show me the money. Enough of this airy fairy stuff!)

Know your why, which will develop the how. (Okay, this one really blew me away. What does the WHY have to do with the HOW?)

Develop a systematic business plan and approach to working your business. (This one made a little more sense, but what was I supposed to be DOING?)

One day, feeling like I had been chasing my tail for far too long, I decided to give these four ideas a try. I would read and listen to positive books and audios. I would start paying attention to the times I said "I can't" and replace that with "I can, I will, I AM!" I would concentrate more seriously on my why, and see if the how would show up. And, I would write up a daily, weekly and monthly business/action plan and STICK to it for once.

Here is what happened.

My mindset started shifting through my reading and listening. I began to realize that all of the other "success stories" in Network Marketing had also traveled this same path. Nothing was special or magic for them. They also heard the no's; felt like quitting; and wondered if they had lost their mind at times. This made me feel better and my attitude, outlook and expectations began to change, almost unconsciously.

Again, without me giving it much thought, I found myself saying "I can" and "I believe in me" much more. I replaced doubt with positive expectation. Instead of sitting down to make calls and thinking "I don't know why I am doing this; they won't be interested anyway", I found myself thinking "I am going to have a very positive outcome; this person will either be interested or pass on a referral." Just having this positive outlook gave me a posture on these calls and it worked; people were interested.

I wrote out my why, my dreams, and my hopes in a journal. I cut out pictures and word phrases to go along with my own words and began to read it twice a day. I would spend ten minutes of focused time dreaming, thinking about and feeling what it was like to have these things as a reality. With my "why" placed firmly in my mind throughout the day, I became determined to let nothing and no one stand in my way.

And, guess what? The "how" really did show up. I began to come up with creative, inspiring and exciting ideas for working my business. I started having fun with it and actually began to enjoy what I was doing. This made me leap out of bed, ready to get going each day.

This new-found enthusiasm made it very easy for me to map out my action plan. For the first time, I truly knew what I was going to do each day. I set up a 90 day action plan and worked it backwards to figure out what to do each week, and then each day. I didn't personally worry about setting income goals. Instead, I set my "Will do" actions and intentions. And, I accomplished them and added to the list.

The feeling of success that came from just taking action was enough to empower me to create more time for my business, and to do those things that I truly enjoyed. Yes, I spent some time in the areas I didn't enjoy so much, and as more success began to show up, I started actually liking some of those things, too.

What do you think might happen for you if you incorporate these four simple strategies into your business? Do you think it's possible that these might actually be the "holy grail" or "Secret to Success" in Network Marketing? What if it works for you like it has for so many others?

To paraphrase an idea from Glinda's thoughts to Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" – You don't need a secret. You had it in you all along to find the success you were seeking. All you need to do is believe. You don't even have to click your heels together three times.

MLM Business Plan

Okay, so you have a MLM business. Now what? What steps do you need to take to get it off the ground and successful ASAP? What should your MLM Business Plan look like?


Here are some ideas for you -


First, decide on the methods you want to use to build your business, and I encourage you to know all methods available to you and be open to trying a little of everything in the beginning. Then, you can truly determine what works the BEST for you.


Here are some important points you’ll want to consider when writing your MLM Business Plan -


• What is your primary goal with your MLM business? What do you want to accomplish most?

• Who is your target market for customer for your products? Where will you find customer prospects?

• Who is your target market for your MLM business? Where will you find MLM business prospects and leads?

• What is unique about your business and what separates you from your competition?

• What is your MLM business advertising and marketing budget? Will this budget come from your family budget initially or do you have a product that can be retailed to create that budget?

• What is your estimated date for being profitable in your business?


Once you have answers to some of these questions, you’ll want to put an action plan into place to accomplish your goals.


What daily/weekly plans do you have to develop customers and retail your products?

What daily/weekly plans do you have to develop MLM Business Leads for your business opportunity?

What methods will you use?

Don't focus on $$ amounts for your plan, instead focus on what YOU can control - ACTIONS.

Single Daily Actions (SDA's) and Weekly Plan of Action (WPA's) - # of XX each month.


Use an accountability form and find an accountability partner, upline, downline, crossline.


Set realistic goals and then adjust as you need to, and don't cut yourself too much slack.


MLM and Network Marketing Companies pay us VERY well for sharing the story of these products with others. Use this to carve out your piece of this growing multi-billion dollar industry.


What is your weekly action plan? What single daily actions will you take?


Break your weeks down and set a weekly plan of action and then daily steps. If you miss a day due to "real life" you still have the rest of the week to accomplish your weekly plan.


Pay attention to areas of resistance.


Break your year up into quarters, and focus on 90 day action plans. Don't look back until the end of 90 days and then re-evaluate and adjust, fine tune. Consult upline for assistance.


Use the tools and training guides offered by your upline. That's what they are there for.


Attitude-Actions-Results-Quality of Life.
