MLM Success- Controlling MLM Negative Emotions

MLM Training- The New MLM Distributors Emotional Roller Coaster in Network Marketing.

Every new Network Marketing distributor goes through it. You will too.

Every millionaire in MLM went through it. You will too.

So will you if you haven’t already. We call it the MLM Emotional Roller Coaster, and it can be an interesting ride during the frustrating times in this MLM business.

You will be high as a kite on excitement on week, and then next week low as whale dung. All because of your emotions and disappointments.

INFERNO Secret:

You will be disappointed by what you think is going to happen, but doesn’t, and it is part of this Network Marketing business.

A lot of folks cannot handle the Emotional Dynamics of this business, and your emotions can really be tested, but it is not innate to MLM, it is innate to being an entrepeneur and starting any business.

You must learn to let the downs be not so down, and the highs be not so high. This will give you an Emotional balance which will make your new enterprise more stable in your working it.

The M.O.N.E.Y Principle of MLM Success.

There is a Principle I have been training on for years, and helped a lot of our distributors, as well as myself to get through some rough times.

I call it The M.O.N.E.Y. Principle of Success in Network Marketing, and it is one that you can take to the bank.

What is the SECRET for Networkers to create a LOT of MONEY in MLM?

M.O.N.E.Y. stands for:

Management Of Negative Emotions-Yours.

DID YOU GET THAT?

Management Of NEGATIVE EMOTIONS-YOURS! In Network Marketing!

It’s all about managing what is trying to manage you! It is all about contolling what is trying to control you. It is about directing what is trying to direct you and your business.

And understand this:

INFERNO Secret:

Whoever is controlling your emotions -- will control your business.

ARE YOU LISTENING?

WHOEVER is CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS, CONTROLS YOU and your MLM business!

YOU ARE YOUR BUSINESS!!

Setbacks in MLM will happen and it will create major disappointment and discouragement, and you MUST not let it affect you long term. Sure, you will get down a little as you are human. That is all part of the business, but you always must bounce back. Every setback becomes a comeback.

The Setback Solution in MLM.

INFERNO Secret:

There is no disappointment so strong that 3 new Network Marketing Distributor sign ups cannot handle.

I had a Network Marketing millionaire tell me last year that she was so discouraged her first 2 years that she nearly quit 3 times, but she hung on to the dream, and learned a VERY VALUABLE Secret:

INFERNO Secret:

ALL Negative emotions are TEMPORARY, and they will subside.

Once she learned that, she knew that she was In a Mood and that would pass eventually and she would go to work harder than ever.

There are exceptions of course, but very few. Most new MLM distributors do go through a myriad of emotions the first year, and most never learn to control them. You must decide that what emotions would keep you down for 3 hours, will keep you down for 3 minutes. What used to keep you down for a week, will keep you down for a day. What used to keep you down for a month, only keeps you down for a week or less. Focus on becoming emotionally quick. Every emotion that is negative quickly disappears from your life, and is replaced with a positive one.

OK.

How do you control your lows that will come in this business?

1) Talk to Your Upline about how they handled it.

2) Read MLM books and continue to learn new ideas and concepts.

3) Ask What is worth learning from this?

4) Know that WHO is SUPPOSED to be in your business will be.

5) Know WHO is NOT supposed to be, will not be.

6) Let yourself grieve for a bit if you need to do that. Call someone who has been there and get some understanding from experience.

7) Get back to work asap. MASSIVELY to replace the one who --got away.

8) Continue to pour into your mind stories of those who have succeeded, and the tactics, strategies, and beliefs that developed that Success.

Yep.

You have to control your emotions in Network Marketing, because they will determine about 80% of your first initial success, then they will determine about 80% of the rest of your success when you start your Network Marketing and MLM career.

MLM Success for MLM- Creating a MASSIVE ThinkSHIFT in Your MLM Business

MLM Success Secrets- Creating a Massive Success ThinkSHIFT in Network Marketing

by Doug Firebaugh

It's time you statred shifting your MLM Success into Success OVERDRIVE.

Would not you agree?

Are your thoughts pushing you out of Success? GREAT question, as many do this day in and day out. In MLM, people play the great American past time that takes up so much time:

Making excuses, and then making more excuses. Great past time if you want to live in the past.

Brutal? Yep.

The truth? Absolutely!

And I would rather tell you the way it REALLY is, instead of the way that everyone leads you to believe it is. In Network Marketing, excuses is the Language of the Failure.

INFERNO Secret:

Life can either be a Paradise, or a Pair of Dice, which you then leave to Lady Luck to throw and see what comes up. Snake eyes is her specialty.

What is your life and what is your MLM business? Paradise, or just a pair of dice?

That will be determined and all revolves around how you THINK.

Are you on a Thought Path that is leading away from Success in Network Marketing?

Are you kidding yourself about your thoughts?

Are you kidding yourself about the nature of your thinking?

Are you blind to what kind of thoughts you are REALLY thinking?

Are you kdding yourself about your thinking, or lack of it?

Many do…everyday.

Most people do not realize it, but you work Network Marketing Twice: First between your ears, and then between your hours.

And what happens between your hours in MLM is nothing more than a photograph of what is between your ears! What you THINK, ends up being what you DO.

It's called Network Marketing Reality.

You live life twice as well. If you don’t have it right between your ears, then there will be nothing left between your hours! Only the emptiness of frustration and Doubt , and an empty feeling of regret.

If you take a look a the word THINKING: The first word in Thinking is THIN.

Do you have Skinny Thinking?

Do you lean towards a poverty mindset?

Are your thoughts colored with Scarcity?

Do your thoughts have more of a LACK focus?

The last word in Thinking is KING! (THAT is ROYALTY THINKING!)

Do you have Royalty Thinking in your Network Marketing business?

Do you have the thinking that would excite God and get Him jumping off His Throne saying, "Now those thoughts are so BIG, THAT is someone I can work with?"

Which side of the word THINKING do you see yourself on?

Here is a Brutal Question that begs to be asked:

Up until this point in your life, what has your thinking cost you in dollars?

What has it cost your family? How long are you going to allow that to continue?

You need a ThinkSHIFT in MLM and Network Marketing. You need to SHIFT your thinking into Success Overdrive- the gear that all winner's thoughts are locked on.

If you do Shift your Thinking, and truly understnad that you CAN and WILL succeed in life, then you can just about write any paycheck you want in Network Marketing.

You CAN Succeed in network Marketing! You can Succeed HUGE! You need to draw a line in the sand and say "ENOUGH is ENOUGH!" And then get serious about your business, and start living the life that you and your family wants and deserves. A Life of wealth and total freedom in all you do, and everywhere you go. That can be given to you with your efforts and Thinking being in Success Overdrive. And then you can have the future that most only dream of.

Is not shifting your thinking worth that alone in MLM and Network Marketing?

Blessings...

MLM Success for MLM Blogs- The SCORCHING Top 52 MLM Success Tips-part 2

"MLM SUCCESS-The BLAZING Top 52 MLM Success Tips - Part 2 "

by Doug Firebaugh

MLM Success training for Massive MLM Success- - Part Two of “The Blazing Top 52 MLM SUCCESS Tips” that will set your Network Marketing and MLM Business OnFIRE! Time tested tactics that will set you apart from the average Network Marketer, and keep your business stoked and totally ABLAZE! Bookmark this page and refer back to it! Send it to your Team and SET THEIR BUSINESS ABLAZE!!! Here are the next set of 26 tips of the BLAZING Top 52 MLM SUCCESS Tips:

27) “In MLM Success, Objections are either stumbling blocks, or building blocks."

Objections in network marketing are either blocks to build Success, or blocks to block Success. You MUST learn how to neutralize objections, or they will neutralize your paycheck.

28) “With MLM Success, never play Verbal Judo with Objections or prospects."

Objections are something that actually are building tools for your MLM business. But you NEVER argue or play verbal judo with them. Always respect their right to disagree. And always thank them for bring the objection up.

Resource to learn more: "Getting Ready for W.A.R."- winning the MLM Success Battle!

29) “IN MLM Success, the easiest way to neutralize objections are to thank them, agree with them, and then gently show them a differing perspective."

All MLM and Network Marketing objections can be a great tool to build. It is a 3 step process that works. Thank, Agree, and Show. It is that simple. Try it. You will be surprised how it works.

30) “For MLM Success, when you approach someone, be agenda less. Don't have the idea you are going to sell or recruit. Have the idea that you are going to EXPLORE what is best for them."

Make sure that your prospect is feeling the right thing. If you come across like you are a heat seeking missile out to recruit them they will close up. Just approach someone with the idea that this is an Exploration, and you are simply going to explore what is best for your prospect, whether it is product, business, or neither.

31) “With MLM Success, an Approach is NOT a Presentation.

An approach is simply "reaching out" and nothing more. It is NOT a presentation about the company, products, or comp plan. Many folks seem to want to "spill the beans" when approaching. Don't. Simply start a conversation and do the presentation if they have an interest at a a later time. Yes, if they ask to see one, by all means, go right ahead!

32) “To build MLM Success, don't be an "Attack Recruiter."

Don't be an Attack Recruiter, and a Bait and Switch artist. Give your prospect some respect, and work your way into a conversation about your business and products. After a little bit of conversation, say "You know, I have run across the most amazing thing...have you ever heard of ABC product?"

33) "MLM Success will show up, if you become Magnetic by relaxing the prospect, and building a Bridge of Trust.

Goal Number One: RELAX the prospect. Get them comfortable. Get them talking about their life and their dreams. And become a MASTER LISTENER. Be so engaged in what they are saying, nothing else matters. Build a bridge of Trust by listening, and showing nothing but interest in them. This will relax both you and the prospect.

Resource to learn more: Power Secrets to Becoming a Recruiting Magnet”.

34) “For MLM Success. make the approach a question."

When you approach a person with a statement, it has a tendency to raise red flags. Approach them with a question. That will draw them towards you,and create curiosity.

35) “80% of all Success in MLM Success is ENERGY. But not hype."

What people feel from you will either magnetize them, or repel them. Your energy will either work for you, or against you. It is much like a bell curve. Too little energy promotes apathy. Too much energy promotes hype. Be in the middle, and raise your energy level a little as you go. The prospect will follow your lead step by step.

36) "With MLM Success, you MUST know the Golden Rule of Communication in MLM Success."

Get familiar with this Rule: First People FEEL, then they HEAR! What are they FEELING from you? Hope and Dreams or Doubt and Worry? Get your business in MOTION with the right EMOTION!

37) MLM Success is more about Failure than Success.

You read that right. Millionaires in this industry all have one thing in common: They were willing Failures at first, to build the Success that lasts. (READ THAT AGAIN!) You MUST be willing to fail, as you build your will to win. It is the setbacks and the devastations that build Success in MLM. be willing to fail, but then get up, and keep going. That is the secret.

38) “MLM Success is about a riveting presentation with a magnetic story."

What makes a riveting presentation? Get the prospect involved. Ask lot of questions. Let them answer. Let them hold the product if you are there. Let the audience raise their hands. Keep focused on engaging the prospect as you present. And tell a story about what the products have done, and make it emotional. Then ask them if they know anyone that they can relate to that story.

39) “MLM Success is NOT about dumping, but presenting one bite at a time."

The MLM presenter many times gets out the dump truck, backs it up to the prospect, and then unloads a TON of information on them. NOT! The prospect is NOT a landfill. Present the information one bite size piece at a time, and give them a chance to digest it. Too much info will turn the prospect off. And they will be thinking, "Do I have to learn ALL THIS?"

40) “In MLM Success, in your presentation, use what we call Value Building Statements."

There are what we call Value Building Statements that can ROCK a presentation! Ones like, "What this means to you is..." or "What this can do for you is..." or "This means this to you..." or "How your family will benefit is..." or "The value to you and your family is..."

41) “MLM Success is about doing a presentation that IMPACTS people FIRST, then informs them second."

What creates IMPACT? Touching what people Value and hold dear, with the Hope of Increasing it and making it Larger in their life. Find out what people VALUE in their life, then wrap your presentation around it. "This will help you have more time wi ht your children" or "This will allow you to give more money to your church," or "This will guarantee you having more control over your future."

42) “MLM Success is NOT about YOUR Success."

You need to learn this: People do NOT care about your MLM Success, it is ALL ABOUT THEIR Potential Success. Yes, you need a good personal testimonial, but down play it and make your Success a STRONG possibility for your prospect or new leader, and then show them that you will work hard to help them achieve it. It is NOT about You, but all about THEM. If an ego needs stroking, stroke their ego, not yours.

43) “MLM Success contains the Voltage Power of HOPE and DREAMS. That is your Power outlet to plug the prospect or downline into MLM Success Electricity."

The most powerful thing you can do to a prospect or downline, is make their dream real. We used to carry brochures of cars, exotic vacations, resorts, boats, million dollar homes, and pictures of enjoying life with us. And we were constantly reminding the prospect or downline what they were working so hard for. We showed the pictures to them. And we also reminded ourselves of what we were working for. Plug them into the HOPE of a bigger car or home, a lifestyle of TOTAL freedom, and let them look at pictures of what it looks like, and feels like.

44) " MLM Success is NOT about just following up, but RECONNECTING the DREAM."

This little tip works like crazy. When you are calling someone back, have the focus that you are simply reconnecting that prospect to the dream they shared with you. "I really enjoyed our last conversation about the new home you were dreaming about. What a beautiful home that would be. I saw one similar yesterday in a homes magazine." This will ge them focused BACK and RECONNECTED to the Emotion that their dream carries. THEN you are back to where you need to be to talk further.

45) "MLM Success is about LIVE Events for the distributor, and prospect."

People in MLM MUST do Live event. It can be a Saturday training, or Regional training, or a simple web cast. But you MUST do these for one reason: It ENERGIZES the base, and also the prospect to take action.

46) “MLM Success is NOT about Closing. It is about OPENING."

What is the lat word in CLOSE? Lose. And that is the way many distributors look at closing. If they don't close the prospect, they have lost. Let's shift paradigms. You don't need to close. You need to OPEN possibilities to the prospect, and OPEN a future that they have only been dreaming about. Open their minds and heart to what CAN BE, not just what is.And after you do that, and If they tell you no, it is not you that is closed, but the prospect is. They are closed to creating their Dreams and building a life of Success. They live a life of permanent hope, not Powerful success.

47) "MLM Success is about one word: YOU."

People are looking for someone to recognize and praise their efforts. The word YOU pays attention to that person, and drives value to their life in ways we could never comprehend. Their name is also a Value Drive. Use the word You a lot, and you will become a pied piper.

48) “MLM Success is about 2 words: I Understand."

People today want to be understood. They wan to feel like they matter. And the greatest 2 words you can say, are "I understand." Agree with them in part, by jumping over to their side of the fence, and seeing it from their perspective. You may not totally agree with their view, but you can understand it, and that will go a long way to connecting you to that prospect. Understand first, then take a stand second, with that in mind.

49) “MLM Success is about 3 Words: Yes you can."

There are people out in the world that have never really succeeded at much of anything. They have built a "Doubt Wall" around them, and it is tough to penetrate. But these two words can. "Yes you can" are three words that are music to people's ears. When they realize that someone is telling them they can do it, and will help them, it turns on a Fire that will burn a hole in that Wall of Doubt, and then, they can walk through to freedom.

50) "MLM Success is about 4 words: I BELIEVE in you."

Many people today go through their whole life without hearing these words. You become the beacon of hope that they are looking for. And if they do not believe in themselves, "Lean on my belief while we are building yours."

51) "MLM Success is about 5 words: Let us do this together."

People are looking for partnership in this business. When you say these words, it does one thing: REASSURES them. And that is what people are looking for- reassurance you will be there, and help them. Together is another way of saying, "To Gather." That is what you will do if you say that word- gather lots of Success.

52) “MLM Success is about NEVER, NEVER, NEVER giving up, giving in, giving out, or giving way. It is about GIVING MORE!"

Here is a Billion Dollar Secret: When you feel like giving up- GIVE MORE! When you feel like giving in- GIVE MORE! When you feel like giving out- GIVE MORE! when you feel like giving way- GIVE MORE! Give more heart, focus, effort, time, belief, and action! You WILL Succeed in MLM!

MORE= Maximizing Openly (the) Resolve (to) ENGAGE!

Maximize your RESOLVE, and ENGAGE daily, and you will start seeing in your business and life, massive MLM Success.

MLM Success for MLM- The MLM Quitter's Tombstone

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Success- The MLM Quitter's Graveyard of Dreams

by Doug Firebaugh

Leadership in Network Marketing requires sometimes to look at things in ways that others don't, to see things in ways others never will, and to think in ways others don't dare. This artice is a hard hitting article because it tells the truth about quitting in MLM and Life. It is a different approach to quitting and tells of a different way of thinking about quitting on your dreams. It will make you think.

It's called "Leading Edge Thinking" by some folks.

And there is something that we at PassionFire call the "MLM Quitter's Graveyard of Dreams" which says it all. It reads what the "Networking Dead" would want to say to their MLM Company and their Upline, but doesn't dare. It reads what the "Walking Corpse of Failure" in MLM would want to say to the people that go after them in most cases, but don't dare.

Why?

Inferno Secret:

Others have succeeded, BIG! HUGE! But not them.

This Tombstone in this Graveyard of MLM Dreams was written hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, with the Letters engraved by the Pen of Inactivity, Ink of Self Doubt, the Hand of Procrastination, and the Letters of Deception.

What does this Network Marketing Tombstone say?

Why would we learn from it?

How can we change ourselves before it's too late?

You decide.

Imagine, it's foggy, and raining, and you are walking in the Graveyard of Dreams, and you find this tombstone suddenly. It is old, and chipped, and cracked. You just stare at it for a minute, and then kneel down. You wipe the mud off of the marble stone, and look at it.

It reads:

Here lays a deceased Network Marketer's Dreams. Full of cancer of "Group Think" and "They know what they are talking about-itis."

The words penned but never uttered are written on this tombstone for all to see, and be advised this was not death by Natural Causes, but by Natural Excuses. Excuses taught to them by the Poisoned Anthrax of the Mediocrity crowd.

All have regrets for listening to the Death Toll of the average:

I wished I would've Talked to more people

Sad, but true. The ring of the death bell of MLM constantly cries out for that, because they realize too late that NUMBERS were part of the Success Formula. They were too focused on being BUSY, and not Building a Business. They were too focused on begging People, not Building them. They were too focused on Hanging on to the ones that were leading them on, not the ones who could lead them into Success…

I wished I would've been more consistent.

Woe to the "Spare timers!" You can work this business either Full time, Part time, or Spare time. And most ork it Spare Time, only when they can Spare some time and "Fit it In." They will, but that will create such a lack of Oxygen for your business. The Oxygen of MOMENTUM, that you will soon find your business passing out, and then passing on.

I wished I would've trained my people, not Play-Trained them.

The sound of this rings hollow, for the Training is not to be played with, but to be embraced and realize this is what breathes life into the Soul of the Distributor's Dreams.

The bell of Regret rings with an empty sound because Playing at MLM training is the same thing as Playing with Land Mines. Both will explode underneath you without any warning.

I wished I would've been IN the business, not just in the Computer.

The scent of realization sometimes hits hard, and can burn. But there is a certain mindset and heartset that you must acquire and grow. If the Business is not in you, then you are only in the computer, waiting to be deleted.

I wished I would've given it just once. All I had, to obtain all I wanted.

Most people never give 50% of their best, let alone 100%. That will kill a business quicker than anything. For this business doesn't require 100%. It DEMANDS IT! If you give it 100% for 90 days, as hard as you can go, you will never have a tombstone like this.

I wished I would not have been so good at Lieing to myself.

We all lie to ourselves in life. We all deceive ourselves to try to convince ourselves that we add up, that we are good enough, that we gave it all we had, and in the meantime we are killing our self respect because deep down in the recesses of our hearts, we know it isn't true. And the cancer of "The Lie" eats away at our ability to face reality at what we are REALLY doing, and it slowly kills the belief in this Network Marketing business.

I wished I would've believed in me more.

The Pneumonia of Unworthiness is a killer. It can reach down inside of you and destroy everything that you strive to do. We all doubt ourselves in MLM, but it 's the ones who take a shot of "If they did it, I can do it' that survive and thrive in this business.

You can believe in yourself more. Find someone who will let you lean on their belief while your's heals. Talk to an upline or someone in your company, and grab that Life Line of Truth that you are worthy and that the Power of Greatness lies within you. You are just waiting to prove all the naysayers WRONG.

Let their Dreams die, but not yours.

INFERNO Secret:

You want to know what Tomb stands for?

"Taking On Miniscule Belief."

Don't live in the Land of regret, and sail on the sea of "What could have been."

Talk to more people. Be more consistent. Truly Train your people. Be IN the Business.

Give it ALL you have for 90 days. Quit Deceiving yourself, and Start Believing IN yourself.

And the Life in your Network Marketing business will grow beyond anything you could ever imagine.

There will never be in the Graveyard of Dreams a Network Marketing tombstone with your name on it, if you DECIDE there won't be.

But that is YOUR DECISION in MLM.

MLM Success for MLM- The 10 Commandments for MLM Training

Network Marketing Training- The Network Marketing Training Ten Commandments

By Doug Firebaugh

Network Marketing Training has certain requirements and things that are neccessary to make it powerful. Here are the Ten Commandments of Network Marketing Training:

1) Thou shalt answer the question, "What do I do next?"

In Network Marketing Training, the new distributor must know what he/she needs to do next. This simple question has stopped many future MLM superstars in our industry, as the new distributor will get frustrated if they do not know what comes next.

It is human nature for us to want to see the next road, the next highway. So you must let the distributor know what comes next, and then what comes next after that. This follows our culture. And if you answer this question, they will get a bigger picture in their mind of what needs to be done and go out and fo it.

If you do not answer this question in Network Marketing training, you will find that people will start trying to reinvent the wheel, and attempt actions that will untimately lead to failure.

2) Thou shalt make your training duplicable. Duplication is about teaching to teach.

Your Network Marketing Training must be easy to teach, and understand. So many times, Network marketing Training is complicated, and cannot be remembered, let alone taught. It must be teachable by all, not just teachable by some. And the key to being teachable is simplicity. Also, the tasks and actions being taught to take in ths business must be duplicable as well. Complicated actions lead to complaining distributors.

Network Marketing Training must be easy, simple, and teachable. To duplicate, you must teach Mary to teach Tom to teach Lou to teach Jodi to teach Roger to teach Dean to teach Susan. If this happens, then you will find that your training not only duplicating, but multiplying your team quickly.

3) Thou shalt have the tools and manuals for learning.

Network Marketing Training must have the tools to teach and the manuals to learn. Today's Network Marketing Training must be multi media driven, and touch all the senses.

Tools are great for learning when the distributor has time on their own to review, and master the process. Tools also are good for going over the material over and over, and memorizing what needs to be learned, and internalized.

4) Thou shalt have training that cover all phases of working this business.

Great Network marketing Training contains trainings on getting started, prospecting, approaching, presenting, handling objections, following up, and getting the decison. Also there must be training on the company, products and compensation plan.

The trainings also must include retailing the product as well as recruiting new team members. If you have these topics covered, you have the makings of a great Network marketing training.

5) Thou shalt make the training automated.

In todays' world, you must have an online training system. That is just reality. We live in a digital world, and a website society. If your training is not online, and available 24/7, you already are falling behind. Conference call training is a must as well as this will be another vehicle to learn from.

Great Network Marketing Training is automated with text, audio, some video, and easy to access and get to on the website. Make sure your training is accessible nationwide, or even worldwide to your group.

6) Thou shalt think Hansel and Gretel in the training process.

Hensel and Gretel is a fairy tale about kids that went into the woods, and left a trail of bread crumbs to follow back home. They wanted a step by step path to get back home. Great Network Marketing Training must be step by step to get the distributor back to the Success home.

Does your training have step by step process that can be copied, mapped out, and followed? Does it contain a pattern that can be copied, and become a cookie cutter pattern? This is how it is supposed to go. You MUST have a step by step path that is a natural path, and each step builds upon the next If you do, you will find so many more of your folks enjoying Success in MLM.

7) Thou shalt have Live Trainings and and Role Playing.

Great Network Marketing Training has scheduled live teachings, usually on Saturday, and these are to teach, equip, and motivate. These events are good for focusing your group to laser focus, and even addressing questions about what you are training on. Plus it gets everyone together and spreads unity.

Role playing you must do as well with the new distributor. This gives them "artificial experience." And it readies them for when they go live on the calls and conversations, and prepares them in a way that classroom learning cannot. I cannot express this strong enough. Role Playing Rules.

8) Thou shalt have new levels in the training growth of the distributor.

Great Network Marketing Training contains "phases", or "next levels" of growth. And usually they follow the path of "Basic training, "Advanced training,", and "Leadership Training," and even beyond that. We call that top level "Success Mastery training."

Basic training is about how to do the business, including retailing, and recruiting. Advanced training is about how to build a downline, effectively and powerfully. And Leadership training is about how to build Leaders. This follows a natural growth pattern of the distributor, and gives them something to focus on for the future, and to aspire and reach for.

9) Thou shalt get the new distributor up and training as soon as possible.

People learn so much quicker what they teach, then what they just hear. There are portions of the new distributor training that can be done by a new person. Get each new distributor up and teaching by the first month. And experiential training is key as well. Get the folks in groups and let them role play and experience what it feels like to do this business. It will excite them and train them as well, and the new distributor can facilitate this easily.

Why get the new distributor training quickly?

New distributors have "new distributor energy." It will get other excited and pumped. This also will build their confidence and put them in a pesudo Leadership role. Even if it is as simple as going over the company information, do it. It will propel them to a higher level of expectation, and self image in this business.

10) Thou shalt equip the distributor to master the training, and then let them do the training.

Your job is to get you out of the training business, and get back into the recruiting and building business. Good Network Marketing training will do this, and keep a fresh supply of new distributors learning and doing the trainings. If you have this happening, you will have accomplished duplication and mastery in Network Marketing training.

MLM Success for MLM- The 4 Types of Prospect Persoanlities in Network Marketing

MLM Recruiting- The 4 Types of Prospect Personalities in Network Marketing

Doug Firebaugh

In MLM prospecting and recruiting, you will find many different types of folks out there. But we have found that there are basically 4 types of Network Marketing prospects. You need to understand a little about each. After having recruited personally over 350 people, and talked to over 10,000 folks, you learn a few things. Hope this helps.

Here are the 4 kinds of people you will run into when Retailing and Recruiting in Network marketing.:

1) The Complainers. (50%)

There is roughly about 50% of the population that falls into this category. And they are the ones that will be the most negative. The language of the complainer is simple: It is negative.

And they use words like: "Never. Impossible". "Scam". "Rip Off." "Can't". "Broke". "No way." "Won't". "Used to be." "No Use." "Won't ever happen." "Fool." "Can't." "Won't." "Lose."

You get the idea.

And these folks are the ones that will find something wrong with just about everything, including what you are showing them.

"Oh come on! Don't tell me you fell for that scam about anti aging- weight loss- energy gain- pie in the sky stuff! You are so easily deceived!"

And they will always give you reasons why the products will not work, the business will not work, the comp plan will not work, the distributors won't work. And it goes on and on. Pray for them and see if they at least will try the product.

2) "People Who Think they Think". (30%)

These are the mental robots of the world. They think they are thinking , but actually, everybody else is doing their thinking for them. Whatever "the crowd" is thinking, or believing, the "think they thinkers" are right in the middle of it, and that is dominating their life.

"OH! I saw on TV where these kind of products will kill you! There was 10 people who died of Vitamin C pneumonia just last week! That stuff will make you sicker than a dog, or worse!! I know what I am talking about!"

"I heard about this kind of a business. Most people end up in jail, and I know someone who knows someone that got out just in the nick of time before the US Army invaded the company's office with a full batallion of army tanks and paratroopers. They went straight into that big office. Actually it was a trailer in the desert so no one could find them! Is your company hiding too?"

They simply go along with what is called "Group Think", and as you guessed it: Whatever the group is saying, so they parrot. And if you run into these type of people, understand that it is more important for them to be a part of the group and how they think, then to be exposed to something that could change their life!

3) "The Thinkers". (15%)

These folks actually think for themselves, and they are quite independent. But the problem is:

The think. And they Think. And they think. And they Think. And they think.

And when you follow up with them, "Oh, I am still thinking about it"

And they think. And think. And think some more.

Many times, thinkers become parlayzed, because they THINK they will make a mistake, and then they THINK what will happen then.

Many are worriers because of what they are thinking, and there thoughts create the worry!

Get referrals. And give them 21 days to think about it, and if they are still thinking, then say 'I am glad you are taking this so seriously. By the way, who do you know that would love to look younger-lose weight-like soft skin-loves the internet-earn an extra 500.00 a month?"

DON'T LET THE THINKERS THINK YOU RIGHT OUT OF THIS BUSINESS!

4) "The Doers". (5%)

Simply, they are too busy doing to be slowed down with complaints, Group Think, and worrying over making a mistake.

They many times go- "Ready-FIRE-Aim!" They want to GET SOMETHING GOING!

"An imperfect plan engaged today is a million times more powerful than a perfect plan engaged tomorrow."- Bill Gates

Doers are simply focused on:

Creating. Building. Moving. Recruiting. Sharing. Talking. Meeting. Prospecting. Training. Learning. Increasing. Enlarging. Helping. leading. Attending.

Which one are you? You need to be a DOER!

A certain distributor asked a person to be on a recruiting call with her, because she needed someone to be on with her. "Just show up, and I will have my guest! Won't try to sell you anything, but I need a guest on the call." Guess what?

They ended up signing up! Here is what she said:

"Hey, I need a favor. I gotta have someone on a conference call monday night so I will not look bad. Could you please help me for 10 minutes and you don't have to say anything. They won't try to sell you anything, just be my guest? It would really help me out!"

THAT is a DOER! Your goal on every recruiting call should be to BLOW OUT THE LINES!

Study this training again, and make sure that you focus on finding Doers, not complainers in your MLM and Network marketing business.

MLM Success for MLM- The 4 Steps to HOT MLM Prospecting

MLM Network Marketing- The 4 Steps to BLAZING MLM Prospecting
by Dooug Firebaugh


What is MLM Prospecting?

According to Webster's Dictionary, prospecting is looking for gold. That is a good definition of MLM Prospecting, as you always want to strike gold in your business. Just like gold, MLM Success runs in veins in your group, and you must mine the veins continually.

If you really think about it, Network Marketing prospecting is simply the tactics and strategies of finding people to talk to about your business. Plain and simple. It is not rocket science. Talking to people is what we get paid for, and what we do for a living. Talking to people is imperative, so you must find folks to share your story with.

Prospecting is one of those activities that you MUST practice daily, or you will find that you end up like 90% of all Network Marketing folks:

You run out of people to talk to, and thusly, run out of this MLM business saying that it does not work. This business DOES work, if you have people to continually share your products and business with, and do it effectivley.


There are 4 steps to MLM Prospecting that have proven to be effective over the years, and we have taught this Prospecting path for years. We all like sequential path to travel, as that is how we live life. This Path of Network Marketing Prospecting you need to travel to insure that you work the prospect correctly, and understand that prospecting IS a process, not a one time event. MLM Prospecting, if done right, can yield a lot of names, and you can have a lot of people looking at your business all at once.

What is the 4 step process?

1) Finding.

This is simply using different tactics to find people that might be interested in looking at your products and business. There are hundreds of ways to do this. Finding people is an art in some ways, as you need to have multiple ways of locating leads going on with your Network Marketing Home business.

Finding someone to talk to can be very easy as well, as there are people everywhere you look, and all of them want the best out of life, and what life has to offer. Finding is simply looking and searching for the people who will want to use your products and services, and als look at your busienss.

2) Exposing.

Once you find some people, you need to create an exposure, one that is quick and gives them an idea of who you are looking for, and what the company is about. This is not really a formal presentation, but a 30 second "commercial" that is better known as an approach.

The inital exposure of your Network Marketing products and business can happen in a conversation, over lunch and be 30 seconds long.

INFERNO Secret:

In the initial exposure, you are only exposing the IDEA, not the information. You want to see if the idea of your product and business is something that they want to know about, or if they would help you locate some people who do.

The best way we have found to do this is use MLM Prospecting/ Recruiting TOOLS. These can be cds to hand out for people to listen to, or dvds that people can watch, even brochures. But we have found that the best tool to use is one that is brief, to the point, and get the prospect emotional. MLM Tools are essential to use in Network marketing prospecting. You can have 30 people at the same time listening to the inital idea of what you are talking about, and let the tools do the exposure, and help the person to decide if they would be willing to listen further.

For a free training on using MLM Tools:

http://www.theentracecd.com (Click training link)

3) Separating.

This step is where you come to the realization that there are only 2 types of people you will talk to:

People that are OPEN to new ideas. (These are the people that will listen to you.)

People that are CLOSED to new ideas. (These are the people that will NOT listen to you.)

You MUST separate your prospects into these 2 categories. If they will listen to you, you move them forward. If they will not, talk product, or ask for referrrals. This step is imperative to master, as this is where you will quit chasing people who are not truly interested.

"Does this make sense to you?" is a great question to find out where they are with the idea you are talking about, and if they really would like to know more about your MLM products and home business.

"What did you like best about the cd I gave you?" is another great querstion to ask someone to find out where they are with the idea.

4) System.

For those who are willing to listen, get them into your compnanor upline's recruiting and retailing system, and let the system do the work. Get them on your product, and make sure that you schedule them for a formal Network Marketing presentation. This could be a conference call, webcast, or three way, or in home meeting, or a Business Briefing on a tuesday night.

If they are not willing to listen, put them in your follow up system, and somewhere down the road, when timing is better for them, follow up with a phone call. Always ask them if you can keep in touch with them to keep them updated on your Success in Network marketing.

This 4 step process can be compared to a Filtering system, as it will filter out the ones that are not truly interested, and you spend your time with only those who are truly interested in either becoming a customer or distributor, or helping you in some way.

This is the 4 step process to SCORCHING Network Marketing Prospecting. For a free, more detailed , step by step, Power Point training on MLM Prospecting using tools:

You need to become a Master MLM Prospector. If you follow these 4 steps, you will dramatically increase the odds of striking gold in MLM Prospecting in Network Marketing.

MLM Success for MLM- The 5 Types of Network Marketing Recruiters

MLM Recruiting- The 5 Types of Network Marketing Recruiters in MLM

Doug Firebaugh

It is amazing.

Every where I have the honor of speaking, I see over and over the 5 types of recruiters on MLM, and they all remind me of animals. (smile)

Animals have a particular way of creating in their habitat what they need to survive and live on, nd to become what nature meant for them to be.

Network marketers are a lot like that too.

I was recently deluged with emails about the article on "Recruiting the Wrong People."

My good friend John Milton Fogg emailed me and said he was putting that article up on his Greatest Networker site. "Wow Dougie! I am stealing this article for my site! Catch me if you caaaannnnn! Great stuff!"

Thanks for the kind comments!

So....

That MLM Training article explains a lot of WHY folks recruit the wrong people, and you may even see yourself in one of these Recruiting Animals that run rampant in MLM.

There are 5 Types of recruiters in MLM and Network Marketing:

The first:

1) "The Snake".

This is the type of recruiter that deceives and takes advantage of folks and is a cancer to this great industry.

This recruiter has one focus: To TAKE and do whatever it takes to recruit you, including unethical things and practices.

Why?

Who knows, but they are out there, and it is a shame. A snake slithers around the ground silently and looks for prey.

Sound familiar? Know anyone like that?

If you do, stay away from them as they are bad news.

2) "The Hyena."

This is the person who simply cannot shut up during a recruiting meeting or call. They are focused on themselves and talk about themselves and like a hyena, run their mouths and laugh a lot all in the name of "look at me, and what I have done."

Give me a break.

INFERNO Secret:

People come into this MLM business for THEIR reasons, not yours.

Keep the conversation focused on them and not you. Don't be like a hyena and dominate the meeting. Don't be like a hyena and look foolish to the prospect. Don't be like a hyena and constantly be engaged in bringing attention to you.

Keep your attention on them, and you will have a much better chance of recruiting someone.

3) "The Cow."

The Cow is the "Lay around all day and do nothing and chew on CUD" Recruiter.

These folks are the less-than ambitious people who wander around in MLM and chew on "Failure Grass" and it ends up CUD.

Cows chew CUD daily. What does "CUD" stand for?

"Consistently Unproductive Daily."

That's what Cows do. They do nothing and get nothing in this business.

Brutal?

Yes.

The Truth?

Absolutely!

Are you a Cow in recruiting? Do you MOOOOO? (As instead of working, you end up watching MOOOOvies?)

That is called a CLUE! GET BUSY and quit chewing Failure Grass and CUD! Success Grass tastes 1000 times better!

4) "The Beaver."

These are the folks that are teachable, and are eager to work and are excited about the business. They have a great work ethic, and a great mental focus, and they are into one thing:

BUILDING.

They are into Network marketing to BUILD and build more. They like to build DAMS.

DAMS are what create success in MLM.

The DAM of Belief.

The DAM of Action.

The DAM of Results.

The DAM of Consistency.

The DAM of Prospects.

You know what DAM stands for?

"Doing All Methodically."

And that is what they do. ALL. Everything. What ever it takes, and they do it Methodically, step by step, daily, and never give up. They prospect, contact, present, follow up, get the decision, and train DAILY!

Untiil they have built a DAM and reservoir of SUCCESS!

5) "The Eagle."

The Eagle is a recruiter that is in a class all by themselves.

They soar above the crowd when it comes to recruiting, and they are sharp and focused in their efforts. They are totally professional, and have great Leadership skills. They are sharp in many ways and have great communication and building skills.

They recruit from a "what is best for you. Not best for me" standpoint, and always puts the prospect first and foremost.

The eagle knows whom they want to recruit, and doesn't bother with anybody else.

Eagles look for other Eagles, or those who aspire to be.

Eagles search out for the BEST in people, and then when they find it, they know they have something to build on, and to recruit.

Eagles are head and shoulders above most in recruiting in their actions, consistency, attitudes, and work ethic.

OK....

Where are you in the 5 Types of recruiters?

I hope and pray at least the Beaver.

INFERNO Secret:

Many a Beaver has grown and evolved into an Eagle over time.

Where are you evolving?

Your answer has just painted a picture of your recruiting destiny in the Network Marketing and MLM industry.

Blessings...

MLM Success for MLM- MLM Recruiting- 5 Hot Opening Phrases

MLM Recruiting- Cold Market Prospecting - 5 HOT SCORCHING Opening Phrases

by Doug Firebaugh

There is a phrase in MLM Recruiting that we call the 5 Magic Words of Cold Market Prospecting. These words can open more doors than you ever thought possible. I used them for years, and they opened thousands of doors. They also help recruit a ton of folks.

What would that phrase be?

"Maybe You Can Help me."

These words can open doors, create curiosity, and open the hearts of many people to give you a helping hand in your Network Marketing Business.

You may be wondering what do you say after those words. After all, what happens if that phrase gets someone's attention? What do you do? What do you say?

This brings us to the Golden Law of Cold MLM Market Prospecting:

"Recruiting Starts after the initial Contact..."

What does that mean?

We found that if we didn't try to recruit them right off the bat, but waited till the second meeting or even third, our ratio for success went up. And it went up tremendously. Many people have a tendency to jump into a conversation with a new prospect, without realizing that it may require some time to develop the relationship, and even give it time to BE THE RIGHT TIME to pursue the conversation full force.

INFERNO Secret:

Don't become an MLM Cold Market "ATTACK RECRUITER."

Give your cold prospect room to breathe, and let a rapport start to develop a little. If the prospect is cold to the idea, give it some time. Hold more conversations. The desire to help may be there, but give it time to grow and be revealed. A lot of times, it won't happen immediately, due to the intial lack of any interest on the prospects part, or bad experiences with others.

Wait till the second conversation to bring up your desire to seek them for your business, or who they might know.

This is only professional, and you are giving the relationship time to solidify and then mature into a real possible friendship.

INFERNO Secret:

If you jump the gun too quick in MLM Cold Market recruiting, you will end up shooting yourself in the foot.

Here are the "5 HOT Phrases for Cold market MLM Prospecting" These are mainly for people that you will meet in the business community when Net-Working your business, which you should be doing all the time!

The 5 Hot Phrases for MLM Cold Market Prospecting:

1) "I am a professional in the community like you."

2) "I am introducing myself to .”

3) "I love networking with other professionals."

4) "Maybe there is a way we could help each other."

5) "Would you be open to some coffee sometime?"

Let's take a look at these powerful opening phrases:

1) "I am a professional in the Community."

This states an important fact: You are one of them.

And this will create the start of a CONNECTION right off the bat, and also establish who you are to the Cold prospect, from one professional to another. Network Marketing is a profession, and you need to start treating it like one, if you are not.

2) "I am introducing myself."

This sets up an important paradigm. You are taking the initiative to introduce and meet people in the community, and you are a take charge type of person. And it shows you really want to meet folks, as well it shows Leadership.

3) "I love networking with other professionals."

This states one thing: You value other professionals as a resource. And you also show that you appreciate the fact that networking does work in the business world And also that as a resource, a professional has value to you and your Network Marketing business, and vice versa.

4) "Maybe there is a way we could help each other."

This establishes that you are willing to Increase and Improve your prospects business and life. And also you do care about helping people, plus you are showing Potential value right upfront.

5) "Would you be open for coffee sometime?"

This is the proactive part of it, and it simply gives them a chance to engage the budding relationship,or not. Most professionals do have an interest in increasing their business, so you will get some interest, and some time with many of them.

But if they say they are not interested?

Be a professional, and thank them for their time and wish them well. And see if you can get a card for a thank you note to send them.

"May I at least have a card in case I run across someone who would want your services?"

Understand that you as a network marketer should be out weekly meeting folks who may need your products and looking for you. But most don't do that as they stay tied to one or two ways to prospect.

You need Multiple Lead Vehicles in Network Marketing.

INFERNO Secret:

Millionaires in this business have multiple lead generating vehicles working for them, all the time, everywhere, with anyone who is looking.

In your Cold market Network Marketing Prospecting, make sure of this:

You put yourself on the other side of the table think about how would you like to be approached, and treated. Then do it, with these phrases or variations of them. And turn your Cold prospect into a warming up prospect, then eventually a Scorching HOT MLM Prospect.

It worked for me for years, and I was blessed to build huge organizations with these Cold Market Prospecting Phrases for MLM and Network Marketing Recruiting.

MLM Success for MLM- The Power of Network Marketing Presence

MLM Network Marketing Training Recruiting -The Amazing Power of Presence
by Doug Firebaugh

MLM Presence.

Does yours work FOR you, or AGAINST you?

Good question! Many times, in a Recruiting session, your presence totally will set the environment for how the recruiting conversation or appointment goes. Your MLM Recruiting Presence says more to the prospect many times than the words you choose to vocalize. It is the one single influencing factor that many times will determine if your prospect will join you or not. It is that powerful of a factor in Network Marketing recruiting.

I am so honored and blessed to work with a lot of folks around the world, and one of the biggest problems I see with the struggling Network Marketer, is the lack of "Success Presence" in their demeanor. They come across like they are anything but Successful, let alone on their way to Success. You MUST have a Magnetic Presence to recruit effectively.

What exactly is Presence?

It is the "Aura" or "Feeling" that people feel from you and get when they are around you.

It is the "Instinctive Feeling" that is triggered in people when they see you.

It is the "Knowing" that people can have about you, and who they perceive you to be.

Have you ever been around someone that you didn't know why, but you simply didn't feel comfortable being around them, something just wasn't "right?" Something about them made red flags go off in your instincts.

That was their presence that you were feeling.

Have you ever met someone and immediately felt comfortable with them? It was just something about them, and how they looked at you and how they made you feel so good?

That was their presence you were feeling.

One of the Biggest Secrets to MLM Recruiting is creating a "Magnetic Presence" so people are literally attracted to talking to you and want to be around you.

Let's take a test about your presence and see how you come out:

Here are 10 Insightful questions:

1) Does your Presence have a "warmth" about it that people enjoy being around?

2) Does your Presence say "I am interested in YOU", or "I am interested in ME?"

3) Do you look people in the eye 90% of the time and stretch you hand out first to shake hands?

4) Is your body language open, and receptive to creating and catalyzing new friendships, or is it closed and expecting people to come to you ?

5) Do your conversations focus on the PROSPECT and what they are interested in, or focus on YOU and what YOU are interested in?

6) Do you have a Confidence about you and your business, and do they hear a sincere BELIEF in your words , or a lack of it when you talk to folks?

7) Do you VALIDATE the prospect, and make them feel good about who they are, or constantly Validate YOU and make you feel good about who you are?

8) Do you smile easily, and make others smile, or smile rarely, and make others uneasy?

9) Do you have a focus of "helping others" or "hyping others"?

10) Do you come across as a LEADER, or a "Feeder" who feeds their own self interests first?

These are some tough MLM questions!

You must understand that your Presence is what we call: "Your Silent Calling Card". It is the first thing someone sees and feels about you, and will determine a lot of their first (And probably last) impression. It will determine a lot about the Success in Network Marketing Recruiting.

Well?

Let me suggest you look at the 10 questions and go to work on your MLM Recruiting Presence.

If you do, Your MLM Recruiting will improve dramatically, almost overnight.

Try it, you'll see what I mean.

MLM Success- MLM Leads Success- Part One

MLM Leads- MLM Leads Success Training-Part 1
by Doug Firebaugh


MLM Leads are a great way to not only create activity in your MLM Business, but also find some great people for your business. Many people are looking for a home business, and MLM Leads have proven to be a great source of Success with lots of folks.

I worked cold market MLM leads for years, and was blessed with great Success. The cold market can be brutal, but also can be fun and easy if you know what to do.

What are some of the Success Secrets of working MLM leads?

1) Make sure you know who you are looking for.

What kind of person are YOU looking for? You need to make sure that the MLM lead knows that you are looking for a particular type of person, and that you would like to see if they qualify.

The 5 traits you always look for are:

Ambitious.
Friendly.
Positive.
Leader.
Good communicator.

Let them know that those are the traits you are looking for, and the traits that have proven to be needed for Success in Network Marketing. Also, a good track record of Success helps as well.

2) Always give them an Exit Strategy.

Make sure that you let them know they are free to end the call anytime they choose. There are many ways to do this, but my favorite way is the FEEL FREE tactic we teach at PassionFire School of Network Marketing.

People will perceive with an Exit Strategy that there is NO pressure and that you are not trying to do anything except hold a conversation with them.

"And feel free anytime during our conversation to end this call if you feel that this is something that simply is not right for you. Does that sound fair enough?"

3) Keep the topic, focus, and conversation about them.

Ask, ask and ask more questions about the MLM lead. They want to see if you are interested in THEM, not just recruiting them. Ask about their family, where they live, the type of work they do, what they like to do in their spare time, what kind of spare time they have, what kind of money they are looking out of a home business, why they are looking at a home business, and what kind of Success are they expecting if they start a home business.

"Tell me about yourself" is the ULTIMATE Cold Market MLM Lead opening phrase that can be magic in MLM Cold Market recruiting.

4) Your first priority is to RELAX the prospect, then CONNECT to them.

You MUST Relax the MLM Lead if you are going to be on the phone with them and hold a conversation with them. How do you do that? get them talking about themselves, and you MUST come across as totally relaxed and in control as well.

Then find some things you have in common with the MLM lead, and connect with them on those things. It could be knowing someone in their city or state, same hobby, same type of family, same school attended, same industry you work in,etc. Find something to CONNECT with them, and it will be easier for them to connect to you.

5) Let them know that you only need 1 minute of their time.

We found that if you simply say, "I really only need 1 minute of your time, as I am not sure this is something that would be right for you or not," that will open them up much more to listen, and you will find that most people will appreciate the respect you just showed for their time.

Many people are kept on the phone for 15,20,30 minutes at a time. Don't do that. Set yourself apart from the crowd. Give them a timeline, and stick to it. If they find that you have something they might be interested in, you will know it. Say, "Is this making sense to you?" They will let you know if it is.

There are many great ways to create Success in MLM leads and in the cold market, but these 5 tips are the start of what you need to do in order to create a solid start with your MLM Lead and Cold market prospect.

MLM Success for MLM- The 3 Landmines of MLM Success

MLM Training- The Three Land Mines of MLM Success
by Doug Firebaugh


There are many things that can take you out of Network Marketing, and MLM. I call them "MLM Land Mines." These are things that can sneak up on you, and blow you right out of the water, and totally out of Success. If you understand these three things, you will find that Success will be much easier to obtain, and your Network Marketing business will be able to stay on track.

What is a Land Mine?

It is something that is used in a battle, that is buried underneath the ground, and when someone steps on it, it blows up. It is the same principle with MLM. You are in a battle yourself. It is a battle between Success and Mediocrity, and the battlefield is your thinking. It can be a fierce battle as Success intimidates a lot of people, and many times your friends will not want you to walk that Success Path in network marketing.

The three MLM Land Mines are easy to spot, if you know where they are, and what they look like.

So...what are they?

1) The Land Mine of Listening to the WRONG PEOPLE.

Many times, we can be really on a roll, and having Success in MLM, and when something goes wrong, then the people start talking. The Negative Crowd shows up, and starts telling you that they were right,and you are going to fail. They tell you that you are stupid for wanting more in life, and you should be happy where you are.

What Success do they have in their life that gives them the right to try and steal yours?

If you are not careful, their words will blow up your dreams, and you will end up discouraged and wanting to quit. NEVER listen to the Wrong People.

Who are the Wrong People? Negative, limiting, and never going anywhere folks who want everybody else to go nowhere. God bless them, but they are not focused on making a life, but simply living a life.

Beware of that Land Mine.

2) Doubting what your Dreams are telling you.

This MLM land Mine is a big one. Your dreams can tell you that you are on your way, and Success in Network Marketing is right around the corner, and then you start falling back in that rut of Doubt and Hesistation.

STOP RIGHT THERE!

Don't take another step towards that MLM Land Mine. Evrything you need to Succeed in MLM you already have in your heart. Just put your business on "Automatic Dream Pilot" and let your dreams steer you around these Land Mines, and around what your thinking is telling you.

You WILL SUCCEED, if you simply let your Dreams pilot your Success Vehicle.

3) Thinking that you will give this business a certain amount of time, and if it has not happened by then, then it is not going to happen.

This Land Mine is one that has taken millions out of this business. And it is NOT the way you work Network Marketing.

You work MLM on IT's TERMS, not yours. You must give MLM the time that is needed to grow YOU first, then grow the business. A tree does not grow in 6 months, and an MLM business will not grow in 6 days. You must give it time, and the time that is required to Succeed.

The timing factor is different for everyone and where it may take one person 3 months to ignite a SuccessFire in their business, it may take you a year. Give to your business TOTAL committment, and and TOTAl decision to go the distance. And you will find that your Success path has been cut down considerably, as people respond totally different to a person that has an I will not be denied focus, and whatever it takes mind set.

Beware of these MLM Land Mines, and make sure that you steer clear of them. You don't want them to take you out of the Success game, and out of the MLM Wealth Machine that is possible for your life and future.

You are a Winner, and this battle is easy to win. Just be careful of what lies underneath your Success Path.
