It’s November already; 2010 is nearly over. Are you going to be able to wear that t-shirt? I’m sure you all started the year with goals and targets for 2010. You certainly should have done so. Have you achieved them?
For many the answer will be ‘no’. Now what does that mean? First there is no need to over-react. If you have set the bar high, then falling short does not indicate terrible failure but some self assessment is a good thing.
- Were your targets realistic?
- Has your activity been consistent enough?
- Have you applied course corrections?
- Is more personal development needed?

We always get fired up after events like our MLM company convention. But then we get home and that high energy drops a bit. So how do you convert that energy into real success? How do you move to earning twice what you now earn now – and more?
Simple – consistency and accountability. That’s all?
If you saw the videos I posted with Marcello Lisi, you will know about ‘The Slight Edge’. I can truly say that applying this principle has been the biggest single factor in moving my business forward over the last 2 years. [click to continue…]

We can’t avoid risks in life. Although network marketing is low risk, too many people make the mistake of thinking it is risk free. One thing that contributes to that is that the start up cost in most companies is very low. But don’t forget you will have to make monthly product purchase in most cases.
Then you have a sponsor who is trying to get you in his deal and who tells you that it will cost you next to nothing; you are desperate to fire your boss and you are off on the wrong foot.
Sure it’s nothing like the cost involved in setting up a franchise business which could cost you many thousands of dollars. Traditional businesses usually cost a lot as well with offices, inventory etc. If you are one of the majority in the MLM industry for whom it will never be more than a part-time venture, then it won’t cost much either, but nor will you earn much.

My mentor is one of the global success stories in Network Marketing. People often tell him he is lucky. As someone who works harder than almost anyone I know, I believe he creates his own luck. So hard work is the basis of ‘luck’ but let’s look at what other factors come into the equation.
People join people so MLM is fundamentally about you. But you still need to find a company where you feel comfortable with a management team which has real integrity. That is often not the case so do some due diligence here and do a search on the team members to find out about them. You can often predict a company that will go ‘belly up’ in the first couple of years by looking at who runs it.
Consider the product too. To create volume, the product has to be a good seller and one you believe in and use – and that you would buy even if it wasn’t your business. [click to continue…]
