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!!!
