Get ready … get set … Go…Oh…No wait.

You just signed up a few new distributors. They are excited and ready to GO…..Well, Almost.Is that the mantra of your struggling distributors?

Here are a few quick ways to change this:

1. Get them hot, local leads so they have to talk to someone right away.

2. Ask them when they are going to talk to someone and start building their business. Or are they just too busy helping their boss build a big house for his retirement?

3. Build their confidence with an inspirational CD.

4. Reduce their fear of rejection by teaching them the proper rejection-free scripts for approaching prospects.

5. Reduce their fear of rejection by positioning them as messengers of hope, and remind them that they should only talk to the prospects that volunteer and want more hope in their life.

6. Motivate their spouse.

7. Create a vision by using one of the “Big Al” skills.

8. Work with your new distributor to jointly set the first few appointments.

These are just a few ways to jumpstart your new distributor into action.

If we don’t intervene, many distributors have such low self-esteem and confidence that they become professional “javelin catchers.”

One of our jobs as a leader is to develop a new distributor to the point where he can lead himself.

It takes a team to become successful and your team members are your jewels. Treasure them.

 

Ten ways to be a leader by Dale Carnegie

Everyone tells us to be a leader, but they never tell us how. Dale Carnegie tells us exactly how. If you haven’t read his book, you are missing a treat.

1.  Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Everyone is looking for affirmation and respect.

2.  Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly. Learn from the one minute manager, catch someone doing something good. So you can reinforce the right behavior

3.  Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Your honesty and vulnerably is your strength.

4.  Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Help them learn the answer themselves.

5.  Let the other person save face. Give grace so you will have grace.

6.  Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.

7.  Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to. A person’s reputation is as important as his name.

8.  Use encouragement. A word of encouragement can be life changing.

9.  Make the fault easy to correct. A good leader is one that can find solution to situation. There is no fault that can’t be corrected.

10.  Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest. Help them find the value and believe in the things they do.

Be the leader.

 

The Miracle of Personal Development

Jim Rohn is a national treasure and one of the most sought-after success experts ever. Why? Because his ideas work. They have worked so well that nearly an entire generation of personal development trainers claim Jim as a mentor or a key influence. Jim Rohn is a legend. Millions of people around the world have benefited immensely from his teachings. He shared this great lesson he learned.

One day my mentor Mr. Shoaff said, “Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”

Since that time I’ve been working on my own personal development. And I must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of all. This business of personal development lasts a lifetime.

You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, “What am I getting?” Instead, you should ask, “What am I becoming?” Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today.

I’ve also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can handle.

If someone hands you a million dollars, you’d better hurry up and become a millionaire. A very rich man once said, “If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be back in the same pockets it was before.”

It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.

So here’s the great axiom of life:

To have more than you’ve got, become more than you are.

This is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is:

Unless you change how you are, you’ll always have what you’ve got.

We heard this famous statement from Jim all the time. It is more impressive when you read the philosophy behind it.

Network Marketing is a personal development with a compensation plan attached to it. Make your personal development the priority.

 

The best secret in the last 20 years.

When Tom speaks people listen. Here is his secret.

In 1997, my friend was frustrated! No one wanted to come to opportunity meetings, no one wanted to give him an appointment for a presentation. His business wasn’t growing and his distributors were having the same problem.

The prospects all said, “We are too busy!”

Sound familiar?

So my friend and I decided to fix this problem. We set out to create a presentation that would last only one minute. Then, no one could tell us that they were too busy to listen.

We gave hundreds of one-minute presentations. And no one joined. 

After a few months, we discovered the secret. Prospects only needed the answers to three basic questions, and then they could make an immediate decision. Our problem was that we were not answering those three questions clearly.

Once we started answering those three basic questions clearly, almost everyone joined.

And it took about one minute.

You can do this for your business too. And everything will change in your business.

1. Your prospects will be excited that they can get the whole story in one minute.

2. You will have more time, since your presentation is only one minute.

3. Prospects join because they believe they can do the business also . . . in just one minute.

It’s magic. It’s rejection-free. It’s empowering. And it will make your business so enjoyable.

 

Attitude Is Everything by Jim Rohn

For more than 45 years, Jim Rohn honed his craft like a skilled artist, helping people the world over sculpt life strategies that expanded their imagination of what is possible. Those who had the privilege of hearing him speak can attest to the elegance and common sense of his material. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time. When he says: “Attitude is Everything” I take notice.

The process of human change begins  within us. We all have tremendous potential. We all desire good results from  our efforts. Most of us are willing to work hard and to pay the price that  success and happiness demand.

Each of us has the ability to put our  unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one  thing that determines the level of our potential, produces the intensity of our  activity and predicts the quality of the result we receive, is our attitude.

Attitude determines how much of the  future we are allowed to see. It decides the size of our dreams and influences  our determination when we are faced with new challenges. No other person on  earth has dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by  teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing  us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude  unless we voluntarily surrender that control.

No one else “makes us angry.” We make  ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude. What someone else  may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude  to a test. If we select a volatile attitude by becoming hostile, angry, jealous  or suspicious, then we have failed the test. If we condemn ourselves by  believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the test.

If we care at all about ourselves, then  we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard  against those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the  wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a  better future.

If we want to receive the rewards the  future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice  given to us as members of the human race by maintaining total dominion over our  attitude. Our attitude is an asset, a treasure of great value, which must be  protected accordingly. Beware of the vandals and thieves among us who would  injure our positive attitude or seek to steal it away.

I believe it is the issue of the heart. We must guard our heart so that we can response to life than react. When we fill our mind and heart with gratitude and our attitude will be cultivated to think on good thing.

Having the right attitude is one of the  basics that success requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy  and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an  inner strength and a firm resolve that influences all the other areas of our  existence.

Having a right attitude is a choice. As we take the responsibility for ourselves. We will make the right choice.

 

How to get professionals to get into your business.

Have you ever wonder how to “Sponsor Up” and get professionals to understand and get into your business?

Tom Big Al Schreiter is an expert in teaching the industry how to make things simple and plain.

* If a surgeon decides to quit operating, the money stops.
* If a dishwasher decides not to wash dishes, the money stops.
* If an attorney decides to stop suing people, the money stops.
* If an IRS agent decides to stop auditing people, the money stops.

In almost every profession, when the person stops working, the money stops. But not network marketing!

In network marketing, it’s different. In the beginning, you do a lot of groundwork and foundation building, and you don’t make a lot of money. If you were being paid hourly, you could complain that you were underpaid or getting less than minimum wage.

However, most network marketing leaders look at this building period as a learning period. It’s like going to school. But, instead of paying tuition, you can earn some money while you learn.

Once you complete the groundwork and foundation, the money formula changes drastically. Now, you are getting paid bonuses every month, even if you don’t work hard or when you take a vacation.

So, in the beginning you do a lot of work that you don’t get paid for, but in the end you get a lot of pay for when you don’t work.

That’s why professionals want to get into network marketing. They like the residual income and the financial security it brings.

On a sad note, there are some individuals who get into network marketing and build a foundation. But because they didn’t feel they earned enough money during this learning and building stage of their career, they quit. Yes, they quit just before they go into the collecting stage of their careers. I guess the rewards go to people with persistence and vision.

Professional usually has to keep up with the continuing education in their field. Network Marketing is actually like a personal development training with a compensation plan attached to it. When you build a team with duplication system, you have created a win-win situation.

Have fun building and learning.

 

My MLM program just isn’t working out….

I had the privilege of spending some quality time with my good friend and mentor Tom Big Al Schreiter.

Tom is a tremendous story teller and has a way of making his point clear with word pictures.

When I ask him why does people join and leave their MLM program? This is what he said: ” people that leave one program to join another because they see their success is outside themselves so they will keep changing the program to find the one that they think will give them success.

Here is a story he told me.

“My MLM program just isn’t working out. They don’t have this, and this, and this and the company doesn’t do this, this, and this. Can you recommend a good MLM opportunity for me to join?”

I get a lot of phone calls and conversations like this.

I normally recommend that the callers get a government job where everything is perfect. They shouldn’t be wasting their time with an imperfect MLM company.

There is no such thing as a perfect job or a perfect MLM company. Too many distributors think that if they join the right, perfect, momentum stage, ground floor, stable, 30-year-old, visionary company, then that company will make them rich and successful.

Dream on.

Companies don’t make distributors rich.

Sponsors don’t make distributors rich.

Only distributors can make themselves rich.

The reason many distributors are unsuccessful is because they constantly look for flaws and reasons why their opportunity won’t work.

The reason many leaders are successful is because they constantly look for reasons why their opportunity will work.

So, if you call to complain that outside influences (like your company, sponsor, spouse, lawyer, dog, weather conditions, etc.) are holding you back from success, I’ll listen. I need the stress for my aerobic conditioning.

But remember, after you blame everyone else, don’t go out looking for yet another MLM opportunity. It doesn’t matter which MLM opportunity you choose not to work. Success will only come where you decide to work.

Brilliant isn’t it? It is “Your decision” that will bring the the result you are looking for.

Have a fun and prosperous day

 

Aha! A formula for Success in Sales

Aha!

Attitude – Humor – Action

Attitude - Our positive mental attitude is our driving force to success in every endeavor of our life. Positive attitude is not just a thought process, it is a discipline and a commitment. This is a daily decision. Each day as we wake up we are given a day to live, we make choices all the time. We can rededicate ourselves to being positive in our thinking and speaking and being around positive people. When we do it does not matter what the circumstance on the outside.

If  you want to work on your attitude and need support you can join us in a live training calls by clicking this link. www.30DayCleanse.com.

Humor – Humor is not jsut being funny. It’s how you see things. Humor is a perspective for effective living and a successful career in sales. It’s your sense of humor AND your ability to find and create humor. Making others laugh and feel good in your presence. Making others smile. It makes others look forward to talking to you.

Action – Walk your talk. Wake up in the morning to a clearly drfined set of goals. Take consistent small steps daily rather than get ready to get ready for the next giant leap. Beaware of your intentions. We always end up doing our biggest intention. If taking the necessary action is not our highest intention then take the step of personal development to cultivate that intention that will motivate us to promote our business.

I challenge you to master the three elements – Attitude, Humor, and Action – and then combine them in your own way to suit your own personality. The monetary results will astound you, but the personal reward is way beyond money.

Follow them to the letter and you’ll say …

Aha!

To your success
