Are you a visionary? Would you rank yourself with Mahatma Gandhi, Lech Walesa, Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela? Maybe you think people like that are on a different plane to most of us. They certainly achieved extraordinary results, but so could you.
Most people reckon we fall into 3 categories: visionary, realist and pessimist. But realists are just pessimists in disguise. You know the folk who will say “That’s a good idea but is it really practical?” Hmm, well they are actually coming down on the negative side of the equation. So I reckon it is just 2 categories – visionaries and pessimists.
You see, there are two types of people; those who are reasonable and those who are unreasonable. [click to continue…]

Do you want to have a good network marketing business or a great business? If money is your main motivation, then you will never reach the heights of greatness. That will ruffle a few feathers.
If you saw the video posted in my last article, with Art Jonak, Ken Dunn and Orjan Saele, you should have begun to get a feel for how the top people in our profession think. You may say that it is easy not to be concerned about the money when you have it.
I would like to suggest that you need to let go of the need for money in order to reach the big league. That may not be so easy. Perhaps you are still working towards replacing your job; you have a family to support; you desire a new home – whatever. These are important things but the dream of network marketing is one that offers the potential for true greatness. That is a word one of my mentors uses often and with good reason.

When do you keep pushing on? Sure you have to work like crazy to get your network marketing business into top gear, but do you never stop?
Some days you wake up feeling uninspired. Well I used to believe that actions followed emotions. You know the old excuse – ‘Well I’m not in the mood so I’ll wait till inspiration strikes.’ That’s a bit like getting struck by lightening, which is pretty rare.
If you make yourself start on a project or some of your daily business building activities, then inspiration and energy begin to flow in. You feel better and your momentum builds up. The emotions have changed because you took some action. But sometimes this doesn’t work. [click to continue…]

Is it a surprise to read that? For a long time we have heard that you want to blast everyone with your business opportunity; it’s a numbers game so the more “no’s” you can rack up, the nearer you are getting to a “yes”. Well that is a great way to get branded as someone to be avoided! Of course you will have to face rejection on the road to success. That is natural but most people (except the heavy hitters) don’t like to get endless rebuffs, even though it is not something to take personally.
So am I suggesting you should seek an easy path avoiding all challenges? Not at all, but it is a much better use of your time is to find and filter people, right from the start, to find those likely to make a go of building a Network Marketing business. Business is the key word. Too many people get into the industry with the wrong mind set. It is not a hobby or just another thing to play with. It is a serious business with the potential to create real wealth so look for people who show the signs that they will see this, even if they have no experience yet. [click to continue…]
