I want to offer some insights into the process of building a nice income with a home-based business. Specifically, this report will cover Network Marketing. If you are looking at joining a Network Marketing opportunity, you may want to hold onto this report and share it with others you recruit later on. You will most-likely be bringing people into your opportunity who has never been involved with the Network Marketing industry. If you really want to succeed in a major way, it is certainly important that you train and equip the people you recruit, so that they can also achieve success. Let’s get started… First of all, I'll begin by sounding a bit "negative". I'm certainly not trying to be negative, however, I do want to give you the REALITY- and sometimes reality is tough. So here you go… The vast majority of people will fail with ANY opportunity they work. Obviously, there are some reasons for that, many of which do NOT even involve the company or product they are working. I’m sure there were some people who started the first day with Sam Walton but left WalMart because they didn’t “see” the potential – or perhaps didn’t want to deal with the hardships that come with a new start-up. Imagine where they would be financially today if they had endured those first difficult days? Success is rarely achieved without proper “seasoning”. There are some things that you will need to understand and accept - so you are able to handle success. Without proper training, any success you achieve will likely be short-term. In the home business industry (specifically Network Marketing), I've found that when people do not succeed the first thing many will do is complain that the opportunity was a failure. The reality is... the person failed the opportunity. Have you ever had anyone ask you "Is that deal you're in working for you?" I've had it asked of me countless times by people trying to determine if they want to join me in the venture. The question ALWAYS amazes me. I ‘m sure what they are “really” wanting to know is if I'm making any money or not. But the question exposes a MAJOR perception problem that we must learn to overcome if we are going to be successful. When you overcome this obstacle, you will be well on your way to becoming VERY successful in Network Marketing, or any other home business. The obstacle that you must immediately overcome is... the PERCEPTION that you don't have to put forth an effort to earn a big income. The reality is... YOU DO! To assume that all you have to do is sign-up for a “deal” and you’ll start raking in boatloads of cash, is simply wrong. Don’t buy it, and don’t ever use it to recruit others! Before I expound further, I've got to say this... I've NEVER had a "deal work for me"! In fact, I've never had a job work for me either. I've always had to put forth the efforts and WORK the opportunity, or work FOR the job. Unfortunately there's a perception that Network Marketing is an easy way to get fast riches. Many people have been told that "you can get rich without doing anything". Well, that's completely wrong and its part of that whole "something for nothing" lazy attitude that has ruined a lot of people. I think most people would love to be able to have an easy way of earning a living so they can spend more time with their families, friends, or hobbies. The fact is- Network Marketing DOES provide plenty of opportunities to earn a substantial income, but... it does require some effort! While Network Marketing is a great way to make a huge income, you just can’t sign up and expect the money to drop from the sky. Get that in your mind right now, and you'll avoid major disappointment later. Major Effort, Major Income The best part is... your earnings are directly reflective of the effort you put forth! Unlike most jobs where a salary is usually "capped" and paid regardless of how hard you work, Network Marketing will reward you handsomely if you invest some effort in it. In fact, I’ve personally found that I can put half the work into a good Network Marketing Opportunity, and reap much greater financial rewards than working a 9 to 5 job. Think about this... If you work a JOB for 40 years, you can get a nice recliner when you retire- and then get a tiny retirement check every month. With Network Marketing, you can work hard for FAR LESS TIME and also earn a nice residual monthly check... AND ENJOY IT while you are still young! As a personal example…I worked for 20 years with an organization to reach a certain annual salary level. When I started Network Marketing (working part time), in less 13 months time, I was already making over DOUBLE my full-time salary. Needless to say, I quit my job and started working for myself! And another thing is... With Network Marketing you also get to earn an income on the efforts of others. Most jobs certainly don't allow that to happen, so it's definitely a bonus with Network Marketing. Here are some key POINTS: 1. Understand that you will have to put forth an effort with this opportunity - doing so, will bring HUGE rewards. I built a very large 5-figure monthly part-time income because I put in CONSISTENT efforts early on. Every day, I did something to build my business- and it paid off in a MAJOR way. This is a business opportunity, not a money game. 2. Establish a Mindset for Success and be DETERMINED to reach it. I built my first downline of 30,000+ starting with ONE person. Several times, I had the opportunity to quit… but KNEW that if I was consistent and PERSISTENT, I would succeed. A high percentage of people will quit when they are faced with a couple obstacles. We grow when we’re uncomfortable- not when things are easy. If you want to grow (a big income), be prepared to go over obstacles; jagged rocks, tall mountains, and lonely forests. 3. Help the people in your group to succeed. If you work with them to succeed, you will be multiplying your earning potential. Their success builds your success. If you learn how to duplicate your efforts, and then teach your people how to do the same... you will see how quickly your business will grow. Duplication and leverage are major components to building a wildly successful Network Marketing income. One other thing ... here is a RULE that you need to know, and pass on to your group... "The people you recruit will likely do EXACTLY as you do." If you give out product as a sample, they will give out product as samples. If you get on autoship immediately, they will also get on autoship. The seeds that are in you (whether good or bad) will be passed on and will grow throughout your group…Seeds of ABUNDANCE, as well as seeds of discouragement, and un-belief. Make sure you are planting a good crop! Leverage your time and the efforts of others, and you will reap a huge financial reward!
