The Law of Attraction: Your Internal Guidance SystemI found this law of attraction series of videos tonight while I was surfing on Youtube. To me, attitude determines a great deal. If you set out to achieve, you usually will. That's true in MLM or just about anywhere. Take a look, and learn about your internal guidance system for the law of attraction. Here's the first video in the series.
The Do More MLM Success StrategyNeed a boost? Ever heard of the Do More MLM Success Strategy? I'll explain. Have you noticed that people who really make it big often have something in common: They work a lot! Profound, right? You remember Michael Phelps, the Olympian? He swims so fast and wins so much people think he's part fish! When he trains hard, he will swim and work out for 5 hours a day. I read that a fan commented to a concert pianist, "I would give anything to play like that." The pianist answered that the fan could play like that if she would just practice 3 hours a day for 10-15 years. The fan decided she didn't want to play like a concert pianist after all.
Now You Choose Few people will be able to compete with you on skill in TV watching or playing Halo. But is that the skill you want to acquire? Will that bring you the success you want? If not, try what the professionals have done for centuries. Work more. Get better, and work some more. You don't have to become a workaholic to see success. You do have to be dedicated and commit to working and improving. Ever heard of Jerry Clark? He's a very successful MLMer, who has this characteristic - he works long and hard. Look him up - and keep working. You can do it with the Do More MLM Success Strategy. Seth GodinHere's a quick thought: have you ever heard of Seth Godin? I quoted him just this evening talking marketing with my business partner...okay, my wife - one and the same. I was explaining what the term meatball sundae means. Who coined that term? Seth Godin. He has got to be one of the greatest marketers of all time, and I aspire to someday succeed as he has succeeded, while keeping my hair. Seriously, check out some of his books - he's written about 10, and I own several. I am reading Free Prize Inside, and it's fantastic. Meatball Sundae is another, as is Purple Cow. Take a minute to get familiar with some of these, and pick out one to start reading. Seth focuses in on how to succeed in business. And by the way, he co-founded Squidoo, so he's not all talk and no action. Learn from the best, and become the best. MLM Success: 4 Steps to Get GoingLooking for MLM success?

High Income Business Opportunity: Fact or Fiction?You have heard rumors, seen ads and read articles. But does that high income business opportunity really exist? Permalink -- click for full blog post "High Income Business Opportunity: Fact or Fiction?" The New Year: Getting A Good StartI hope your home-based business is off to a great start in 2010. I for one have decided to make some changes to get things rolling a little faster this year. Have you made some changes? Set some goals? Perhaps you have re-focused on the highest priority items in your business? I find myself doing just that - remembering what I need to focus on first. In most businesses, home-based or not, I think that means leads, names, your personal contacts and possible future clients, right? What's second? I recently saw that Lee McIntyre said deepening your sales funnel was a high priority. Jimmy Brown said that Traffic is critical - which is a very similar item to the personal contacts I mentioned above, though not quite the same. Look at what makes your business grow, what makes your home-based business successful. Focus in on the top 3-5 things, and get going. You can really make an improvement if you stay focused and keep your energy up. Come back soon for more - and good luck in the new year.

And I'm ready to give you a ton of great information on how to make your network marketing business better. For one thing, GO BIG! I'll explain more about this soon. Hope you've had a great year so far. More about my vacation and how to crank up your mlm business coming! PPC Ideas from WebinarHow did you like the PPC webinar Jonathan Budd and his friend put together? I have been traveling - so I missed it! Of all the lousy luck, right? I do plan to use PPC in the future, but right now I have been focusing on other ways to build traffic, like blogging, using social media, and list building. If you like PPC, I hope the webinar filled in some gaps for you. I ended up leaving a day earlier than I expected, and my Tuesday was slammed. But now, I'm in Key West, FL. Not bad :0) I like it here... Anyways, about traffic. I own a copy of Perry Marshall's Definitive Guide To Adwords, which is a good read on PPC, and Jonathan's webinar looked like it might plug a few leaks in the whole PPC game. If you use PPC, be very careful with your cash and your daily budget. Marketing is too important to run out of cash, and you need to make money on those funded proposals! Good luck with your traffic - I'll be back soon with more great info to help you build your network marketing business on the web. Free Webinar on How to Recruit OnlineHave you heard of Jonathan Budd? He makes good money online, and has set up a free webinar with Mark Hoverson. I'm pretty sure the webinar is to advertise Mark's coaching system, but I love to learn new ways to do things, so I thought I'd let you all know about it. You can sign up here:Webinar sign up I plan to be there as well, but I have a trip coming up that may interfere. If you attend, please send me your notes using my Contact button on the menu at left. Generally, I don't use PPC. I do use other methods, though, that may benefit from the information as well. And you never know, maybe I'll become a PPC master and love it. Anyway, take a look and see if it looks good to you. I'm not an affiliate, just thought you might like to learn something. Have a great weekend ;o) MLM Training Discounts, Part 3: A Great Opportunity for YouOkay, I will eventually put this into a full page, but I wanted to get this information to you. You know you can get MLM training at a substantial discount. If not, read a few days back on my blog and you'll get the scoop. I added a part three because so many don't understand the power of this strategy for YOUR benefit. I'll explain. When you get a great deal at eBay or wherever, you get the training and your MLM business prospers, right? Hopefully you learn some great information and you use it. But what then? Then, you sell it on eBay or wherever and buy another one! The power of this is hard to underestimate for tangible systems you can buy and sell. You can put in a few dollars, say $50 or $100, but a cool system, absorb it, take notes, and sell it. You now have much or all of your initial investment back, and you can repeat the same deal with another cool training. It's a great way to learn new information, and only spend a little to keep it going. Give it a try - learning something new in MLM training should only help your business. Good luck! Site Map Update!Just a quick post to update you on my sitemap. I've added a few listings you'll find at the link included. More todo, but this is a start. Don't worry I haven't forgotten the 3 part in my Awesome Discounts series. It's coming this weekend. Now go get some work done! Permalink -- click for full blog post "Site Map Update!" Awesome Discounts on MLM Training, Part 2My recent post on MLM Training discounts left something out. I left it out because I thought most of you would figure it our for yourselves. Now, after a day or two, I decided to spell it out for those who are newer to using the internet to find stuff. I'll be quick. My last post says you can get great discounts on MLM Training packages at eBay.com, which many people know already. eBay offers great flexibility in what you list, so it is the biggest place to buy and sell these types of packages. But I left out all the other places you can go for similar stuff and discounts. I'll fix that now. Here's a list of great places to look for MLM training packages and other things as well: Craigslist.com - the other massive clean-out-your-garage site. You may find stuff you want locally, too. Amazon.com - excellent for books, CD's, DVD's. BN.com - this is Barnes and Noble's site, and it also has a sell your stuff option like Amazon. Alibris.com - Made up of used bookstores and similar places. Last, our local TV/radio stations have free classifieds. They are great. Check yours. That's it. These are my favorite sites for monster discounts on MLM training packages, and other stuff as well. Next: The third piece of the puzzle on this topic. Where to Get Awesome Discounts on MLM Training ProductsIn case you wanted one of the big MLM training products, I have a tip for you. I'm thinking of products like Traffic Formula, Black Belt Recruiting, and the like. So you've seen the sales pages, you want to get one. And here's the tip - it's not so new, but it works really well: Look for your favorite MLM training product on eBay. I like to set up an email alert. You log in, go to my eBay, do a search, then click the save search button. A few days ago, I saw a huge discount on some great packages. And when I'm ready to get rid of my older MLM training packages, I'll put them on there as well. Go take a look.

You probably just finished a nice BBQ or at least have been able to rest a bit on the weekend. So consider this. If you do a little every day, say comment on 10 blogs, or on 10 forums, or make a short post on your blog (ahem), you've done something. Building a list of leads or a flood of traffic doesn't usually happen as a flood, but a trickle that gains momentum. And even when you have a huge list, you still generate leads one name at a time. Do something worthwhile, even if it is small. It all adds up. Rachel Henke's Money or Mission Mindset?I just read a great blog post over at Rachel Henke's blog - the link is below. In this post, she writes about how she tried system after system, and never reached her goals. It's a great little reminder of why you joined this industry, and your opportunity in particular. I'll be it was because you could earn great income working with great people and in a fun industry, or something similar. I know I have been down a similar path, and because of it I decided to take a break from MLM until I learned how to do it from a business perspective, instead of hype. Since then, the internet has played a big role in my education, and I've found what I need. Take a look at Rachel's post, and think about your mindset: mission or money?

Whenever you give people the information they need, they will be drawn to what they like. That's how attraction marketing works: find what you like, and learn more about it. Then, if you like it enough, you can buy from that company. Very similar to walking through the mall, and deciding what store to go in. I'm drawn to the stores with electronics, books, and cool stuff. You might find yourself attracted to the trendy clothes or to the fine furniture. With attraction marketing, we can all find what we want and enjoy it, and we can also build a following as business people. Good luck! The Rapper Success Secret: How to Use It for Yourself in Internet MarketingThe Rapper Success Secret tells you exactly what rappers do to create not just buzz, but a benefit for them personally. Learn how to use this secret in your internet marketing business. Learning Network Marketing StrategiesI've been thinking about network marketing strategies, so I thought I'd share a tip you can use. When you offer your product or your opportunity, you can add something called stratification. Briefly, stratification means that you start to divide the market. It works the same as retail stores. Walmart and dollar stores live on the lower end of pricing. Saks and Tiffanies at the top. Or, you can also look at it a different way, like Coke. Coke has, what, 6 different Cokes now? This divides the people buying into different groups that Coke can sell to in ways that appeal to that group. You can do this by offering your opportunity to a specific group. For example, some chiropractors will sell certain products because the products integrate well with being in their field. Like Ann Sieg says, teaching sells. As you teach people about your field, not your opportunity, you give them a chance to identify themselves as part of your target group. Using solid network marketing strategies can bring you many leads this way. More later. Free Business Opportunity Leads: Where to Get ThemWant free business opportunity leads?
