The Most Basic Skill you Need To Succeed

Colors to Success skill provides you with a method you can
use to determine the personality of the person you're speaking
with so you can make the best possible connection with that person.
This is useful in both your personal life and your networking business.


Coaching by the Color! One dimension of our personality
training that will help You keep your Team pulling together.

Yellow: open and indirect

If the person does NOT consistently demonstrate more concern
for others than for themselves, they are not Yellow.

Now the person who comes up is casually dressed. They have
Birkenstock sandals on, and blue jeans. Very casual. This is a
comfortable person. They walk at a slower pace. They have an
easy smile.

And they say “Mentor me!” “OK. Here’s what I know about you.
You are an amazing person. All your friends think you are the
greatest listener they’ve ever known. You are dependable.
You’re very patient. And you’re nurturing. You love people,
and you’re a team player. You have some outstanding strengths.

There are some problems you need to work on. You’re oversensitive.
You take things personally. You always conform. You’ll buy other
people’s excuses. And You don’t ever set goals. You’re not goal-oriented.
So for me to help you, coach you, mentor you, I’d get You to understand
how to not take things personally.


To your Success,

How do You acheive Residual Income in Network Marketing?

By creating a resdual income, you can actually live
the "Lifestyle of The Rich & Famous" and have it with
less stress and more freedom.

First, I will explain the difference between linear
income and rsidual income.

Linear income is income you get from working a
J.O.B. It pays the monthly bills. The sad thing
about linear income is that it stops when you
stop working.

ie: When A bus driver finishes his shift, his income
stops, when a teacher finishes the work week on Friday,
the income stops. Well you get the picture!!!!!!!

The bus driver and the teacher still has to pay for the
electricity, phone and whatever other monthly bills
they have coming in.

Now, Residual Income is doing something right the one
time and get paid over and over again. In order to
acheive the residual income in network marketing, you
have to have a remarkable, consumable product that
goes to the end consumer month after month.

If the products are not consumable, then your Network
Marketing business becomes a "commission sales job"


Here are a few points to look for when you are looking
at a product:

- All MLM companies have a good product. But, there are
others available that are just as good!

- It should be competively priced.

- If the product has both a Retail and a Wholesale price,
Your company has a Recruiting business model, STAY
AWAY unless You are Red!

Some warnings:

If the product would not sell without the business opportunity
attached, it is ILLEGAL.

If you can't pay with a credit card and Must pay by cash or
money order, it is ILLEGAL.

If distributors collect the money while the company stays at
arm's length, it is ILLEGAL.

If you MUST have a Retail Merchant's account, the company is
SCAMMING YOU.

When you begin to justify your product to someone, You
become a salesperson.

Remember, Network Marketing is a Relationship Business

Crunching the numbers on MLM Compensation Plans

When you are looking at a Network Marketing
company comp plan, there are certain things that
you should look for.


A comp plan should be easy to understans and
simple to work. It should be set up to pay the
average part time Network Marketer in the
early stages of joining the company.


The number one question to ask is:


How many active people do you need in your downline
to make $10 K per month?


So how do you crunch the numbers:


In the average company you need 2000 active
people to make $10,000/month. In a stream line
company you need 400 people.


You are in the average company. I am in the stream
line, 5 Pillar company. We both go out, do the same work,
spend the same amount of hours in a day, until we
both got 400 people.


Now, the average payout for each person in the
average company is $5.00 per person So crunching
the numbers, you are making $2000/month.
I'm making $10,000/month. The streamlined model
allows for a higher totla payout percentage. Both full
time and part time distributors are extremely well
rewarded for the reults they produce.

I am on the beach living my dreams. You are still
struggling to get your 2000 active people.

Tonight, as your head hits your pillow, ask yourself,
"While I am sleeping, will I be making money"

What would be easier for you to do in the next five years?

1) Keep struggling to get your 2000 people, or

2) Learn a system that will teach you the skills to be
successful in Network Marketing, so you too can own
your life and join me on the beach...if you want.

What is your choice?

The Two Questions That Every Struggling, Frustrated Network Marketer is Asking

The two questions that every struggling,
frustrated NetWork Marketer is asking:

1. Can I do What you are Doing?

2. Will You help me?


I talked to a friend today, a green personality,
who was concerned about the facts and figures
of a particular company. What he believed was...

If he knew the numbers of leads he would get a
month, if he knew the growth percentage of the
company, if he knew the conversion rate of the
leads, if he knew how much money the other
person was making, if he knew how many people
were in the other persons downline, and the list
goes on and on, then he would be able to make a
decision whether to join the company.


It took a while to explain to him that this did
not matter. The other persons numbers has no
bearing on how good or bad he did. That was
completely up to him.

You see, Success is within each one of us.

After one and half hours on the phone with him,
it came down to the nitty gritty realization by me
that all he wanted to hear was:

1. The company he wanted to join had integrity,

2. Yes, You can do it with a proven training and
duplication system and

3. Yes, I will help you.

I have heard Tom "Big Al" Schreiter say... Being
a coach and mentor is not having all the right answers.
Being a coach and mentor is helping people within
their comfort zone.

My big lesson today is that we make the business
of network marketing much more complicated than
it really is.

Those simple words from me...yes you can do it and
yes, I will help you...turned this friends life around
forever. With my help this guy can stay in his comfort
zone, taking little steps with my help that will gradually
get him into another comfort zone and another and
another. He will never feel alone in doing his business
and he will never know that he is leaving one comfort
zone and going into another.

Absolutely amazing!!!!

A System of Training and Duplication

Last week I spoke of the five critical components
that you need to be successful in Network Marketing

Number five of the 5 Pillars is a Proven Duplicatible
system. Duplication is very important in the
Network Marketing Industry.

There must be a Simple System of training
and duplication in place to ensure your success.

With any job, there is always a training period
before you can perforn the job.

The same with Network Marketing. It's difficult
to be successful without the proper trining.

So to give you an idea...most companies will tell
you to go after your family and friends.

Would it surprise you to know that the failure rate
for that is 97%, leaving your chances to succeed
down to 3 %?

What is the success rate in Buying Leads?
Those leads are bought and sold so many times,
with the majority of the them being outdated.

The only person who benefits from the sale of the
lead list is the person who sold it. He is going around
with a smile on his face, while you are frustrated.

The question to ask..."Can someone do what You
are doing?'

You may be able to go out there and recruit like crazy,
but can your downline do the same. In most cases the
answer is no.

Then while you are out there recruiting, your downline
is left to fend for themselves with no support or training.

So after a few months with no help and support your
downline quits. Now your are replacing the ones that left.

Does that make sense!!!!! I don't think so

One important thing to keep in mind...you need a proven,
duplicatible system to build any business. This is Pillar # 5

The Five Critical Components for Success in any Home Base Business

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us,
as the confidence of their help. ~Epicurus


Learning these five components will save you
years of struggle and frustration.

My mission is to help you understand these
five components that has helped me build my
business.

First, For you to be successful, you need honest
answers to all of your questions.

My biggest question was:

Why are some people successful and the majority
of us struggle?


First of all “network marketing” is not a sales
business.It is just “Word Of Mouth Advertising”.
Recommending and promoting products and
services that you like to people who you know.

Everyone does it every day. If I went to a movie,
I like the movie, I will tell my friends. Then they
go see the movie. They like the movie. Then they
will tell their friends.


That is Network Marketing in a nutshell.

Within the industry there have been people who
made money and those who haven't. Some people
make a little money, and some people make fortunes!

What is the difference between the two groups
of people?

In order for you to be successful in Network
Marketing the company that you are a part
of must have five critical components in place.

We call these five critical components,
“The Five Pillars”

I compare it to an apple pie. You need flour,
butter, sugar,cinnamon and apples to make
a good apple pie. If I did not put in the butter,
the crust would not be easy to cut.

Therefore my apple pie will not be good. The
same if onepillar is missing from your company.
You will struggleto be successful.

You need all Five Pillars.

I have The Five Pillars in my company. I am so
grateful to my mentors for showing me what
the five pillars are.

Being coachable, following in the footsteps of my
successful mentors, and learning how Network
Marketing really works, In 13 months, I have
built a Diamond distributorship in my company
and am finally having the success I dreamed of.


You can Too!!!!!!!

Do your Due Diligence in Choosing Your MLM Company

One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words;
It is expressed in the choices one makes…and the
Choices We make are ultimately our responsibility
…Eleanor Roosevelt


In this great industry of Network Marketing, there
are literally tens of thousands of network marketing
programs available to choose from. The average
Network Marketer can become very overwhelmed
and confused of all the choices.


When you look at the opportunities and programs,
you see the hype of numbers...get the people to join,
the more people under you the bigger your pay Check
will be. Companies get people to join with them,
by offering big promises of big money in a short period
of time. After you sign on the dotted line, there is no
training/support for you. You are left out to pasture.


You have to do your due diligence to check out a
company before You sign on he dotted line, find
out if the company has integrity, find out if the
compensation plan pays You, the average part time
Network Marketer or if it just benefits
the top guru’s, find out the Business Model and
how that Model drives the behavoir in the field.


It’s like, would you buy a house or a car without
reading the Contract?


So why is it that we all, yes me included, sign up for
all those different programs without reading the
Policy and Procedures. We have no idea what is
expected of us or what the company can do to us.


No wonder there is only a small percentage of success
In Network Marketing.


Now my choice is to read that contract. Now I know
What Network Marketing is and what is expected of me,
I know how to evaluate a company/opportunity,
I am enjoying Success in this great industry.

You can too!!!! It’s Your Choice!!!

Listening to Your MLM Team Members

This article below is really clear on how we all should
treat our Networking family. When you listen, I mean
really listen, to what people are saying, you are giving
that person a platform to vent their feeling.


You are not there to just acheive what you want.
You are there to help the other person acheive what
they want. By doing this and really listening and
giving that person an opportunity to make their
feeling known, you will have overcome a very
important obstacle.


Article by Michael Blouhy:
For your network marketing team to flourish
and really develop deep bonds with you, they
need to feel safe in telling you exactly what
they're thinking. At times, this may be painful
for you. At times, you may disagree.

Consider the alternative: certain members of
your team are scared of you, scared to tell you
of a problem that they see. If they don't feel
safe enough to tell you what they are thinking,
you have trouble in your future.

Result? Their questions don't get answered.
They make no progress. They stagnate.
They are unproductive. They don't trust you,
and they feel unsafe in talking to you about it.

Will some people complain about ridiculous stuff?
Sure. But to them, it's not ridiculous. Sometimes,
just knowing that you really listened to them
makes the problem go away. But better yet …
here and there you will learn some things you didn't know.

It's not unusual for successful people to get in a mindset
of "My way or the highway!" But there are many ways
to skin a cat. And the more ways your team has of being
successful, the better off your organization will be in the
long run. When you really listen to others, you will learn
stuff that can change your life.

Free MLM Mentoring

Back in 1991, my mentor was making full-time income
from MLM. He retired from that company and actually
joined over 100 network marketing companies in the
next few years, to figure out how this industry really works:

the good, the bad, the ugly.


Every person on the planet has to be educated in the skills
of what they're doing. Whether you're a doctor, carpenter,
plumber, ditchdigger ... whatever you are ...
you've got to be taught the skills of that business.


And what "Success In 10 Steps" does for people is, it gets
them to realize, "It's not your fault!


The people teaching you didn't know any better. They
weren't bad people. They weren't lying to you
intentionally. They just did not know any other
way to do the business."


Do you think you can wake up one morning and say,
"I'm going to be a doctor!" And you go down and
join a company, get a distributor kit for 50 bucks,
and you're a doctor?


Of course not. That's ludicrous.


My suggestion to YOU is that YOU consider…
Mentoring For Free… as YOUR Free MLM /
Network Marketing company education source.


Michael Dlouhy created it so that people like YOU and
me could be EDUCATED and so that we no longer
invest in MLM / Network Marketing businesses where
the foundations and structures are unsound.


If people are educated about the foundations and
structures of MLM / Network Marketing companies
then people will stop failing because they will know
what to look for. Then success is inevitable and the failure
rate is massively reduced or even stopped or should I say,
"Turned on its head".


Being coachable, building quality relationships with people
and using a PROVEN duplicable system that educates
people is the main key for growing a Successful Network
Marketing business.

Build People and People will build your Network Marketing business

I am always amazed at people saying that Network Marketing
is a Numbers Game. From my vantage point, Network
Marketing is a tough business. It is not about numbers.

It is about building lasting friendships. You need to talk to your
front-line leaders regularly. At least every other day.
Sometimes it’s 2 or 3 times a day.

Make yourself available. Support them. Get to know who that person is.

Don't treat them like a number.

That's what it’s about. Do something just to help them.

When’s the last time your upline did something nice for you?

That’s what this business is about - it’s about building relationships.

Who is Marilyn Harbin...My Story

I am sitting here thinking about what has
happened in the last year. Before I go into that,
let me tell you a bit about myself.

I am a mother a 2 wonderful girls and a grandmother
of 1 grandson. In the real world I have worked for the
past 17 years as a Licensed Pratical Nurse.

For most of their childhood, I was a single mother,
always scraping the bottom of the barrel to give them
what they needed. Sometimes they never got it but
the one thing that was constant was the love, respect
and support we gave each other.

I reflect back on those days with much pride. No matter
how difficult life was, we always had fun doing things
together as a family. I remember tucking them in at
night after reading a story, hugging them when they hurt
themselves and telling them it is ok, crying and laughing
together, playing games, going to see them playing
basketball, volleyball, going to concerts and school events.
Memories of those days will be forever etched in my mind.

Mother's Day was always a favorite for me because I would
get a hand made card from each of them. I still have ever
card they made for me. Once in awhile I will go
through them. It always puts a smile on my face.

Then I was blessed with a grandson, Joshua. I was in the
delivery room when he was born and I cut his cord.

What an awesome feeling.

The only difference this time around was I had more time
to spend with him than with my girls. Funny how that works.
My most precious memories of my grandson are making up
bedtime stories. He loved the once upon a time stories that
I would make up and tell him at bedtime. Then of course I
would fall asleep with his little hands on my face.

What lovely memories. Even today at age 13, when he comes
to visit or I go to visit them, he loves for me to tell him stories
of the things he did as a baby.

In 1998, I decided I would try my hand at network marketing,
offline. I joined a company and started my business with a fair
amount of success. I recruited like crazy, promoted to manager
in a short period of time. I helped my people get to the same
position as manager in the company.

Then something happened. My paycheck got smaller.
Ok, so being in a stair step breakaway, I did not fully
understand how it worked. So now I had to go out and
recruit some more. I recruited 5 more people in a short
period of time. Again, My paycheck got smaller.

For years I struggled, with my business, trying different
companies spending more time and money than I had on
trying to make it successful. I was blaming myself for my
lack of success.

Back in February of 2007, I came across an e-book that has
turned my business life around. After Reading the e-book and
getting in on the free training, I understood what was hapening.

The Business Model drove the behaviour of Recruit, Recruit, Recruit.

The Comp Plan was designed to pay most of the money back to
the company. I could not be successful in that kind of a business
model.

My forehead still hurts from the slaps.

Business Models Drive the Behavoir in the Field.

Let’s take a very close look at the network marketing business model, because that’s where you find the reason for network marketing business failure. You’re an entrepreneur, you’re here to make money, you’re in business. So it makes sense to look at the business model, doesn’t it?

Below is an article written by Michael Dlouhy, author of “Success in 10 Steps” and Powerful Networking secrets, on the business models and how they drive the behavoir in the field.

http://MEHarbin.successin10steps.com/?mad=11050Take a listen to the audio to get the full picture of how the business model drives the behavoir in the field.

By Michael Dlouhy

Listen to this audio & decide for yourself: “What’s Wrong With THIS MLM Picture?”

In Network Marketing, the business model drives the behavior in the field. This example is the real world. This is happening TODAY!

This long-time successful MLM company sells a product. Analyze this real-life situation for yourself to really understand the results of certain company decisions and what you must look for - and what you must avoid - in a network marketing company.

And you’ll hear an actual article written by a real leader in this company talking about the attrition in the company … and why it’s happening:

Why is Building Relationships so important in Network Marketing.


Building Relationships is Important in Network Marketing. Why?

Network Marketing is not a Sales business, it is not a recruiting business.

It is a relationship building business.


"Well, how do I do that? How do I build a relationship with someone I don't know? They know I want something, so I'm already up against it. How can I build a relationship like that?"


Why is it so difficult for most people to build relationships? What does one person have that the other one doesn't have?


Have you ever wondered how some people can talk to 20 people and get 15 to join them in their business and another person can talk to the same 20 people and get 1 to join them?


The thing that builds relationships is being yourself. If you're reading from a script when you talk to people, that doesn't work. If you have a set plan, one-two-three-four-five, some mental checklist you use every time you talk to somebody, that doesn't work.


The 3 skills that build relationships:

1. Be yourself.

2. Genuinely care for people.

3. Show true empathy for people.


The color to success training from the Mentoring For free system is the most valuable tool you can use in being successful in this industry.


Network Marketing is a relationship building business. Build people. People will build your business.


My Team at mentoring for free has been helping people create additional income from home for 28 years


The "Team" site is run and hosted by the most successful Coaches, Trainers, and Mentors in this great Industry.


Most importantly our TEAM is dedicated to HELP YOU SUCCEED!


When you learn the personalities, you will automatically build relationships. And when you can build a lifetime relationship in 15 minutes, you never need to sell anything to anybody. It's true. It's learnable. And it works.

"Success In 10 Steps"


To Your Success,

Marilyn Harbin
