Positive Words And A Bloodhound

I want to leave you today with some positive words when you say you cannot do something that you may just believe you cannot when deep down, you know you can.

Negatives First. Realize Em and Positive Words Come

I  would like to give you a warning first on this one. You may find humor in this and start laughing uncontrollably. Ok, probably not, but do not say that I did not warn you.

This is a story that I have heard and I don’t remember exactly how it goes, but I do remember the finer points of this story.  The positive words that come out of this story are the most important thing that can come out of reading this post.

The first time that I heard this story, it led me to give up smoking cigarettes, perhaps one of the more difficult things to give up.

So here is the negative that led me to my positive words.

A traveling salesman is on the road visiting businesses across the country selling business equipment to shop owners. He is an eager individual and makes it a point to go into every business in any given area. So he stops at a general store in the middle of nowhere.

As the eager chap walks into the store, he looks towards a man sitting at the counter when out of the background a big moan comes out of the mouth of an old bloodhound laying in the corner.

“Rawr, rawr, rawr”, the dog whines and moans in distress, “rawr, rawr, rawr.”

Curiously, the salesman asks the owner of the general store, “what is wrong with your dog?”

The store owner relies…

Oh, that there is Old Blue… Old Blue comes to work with me every single day and lays down in the same spot every day. There is however, a rusty nail sticking up out of the floor just enough to dig into him to annoy him. It is not sticking out enough to make him move, the poor thing, but it is enough to make him moan all day.

So my question to you is, “are you old blue?” I paid for the information that told me this story. I paid to learn that I was not uncomfortable enough to be motivated to act.

So here are some positive words to hopefully inspire you to stop being comfortable.

Ok, maybe you say you are uncomfortable. Sure, maybe you fear the pain that comes with quitting smoking, losing weight, changing your habits, talking to more people to build your business if you are network marketer or more.

By being comfortable, I mean that you are comfortable in misery.

Only you can decide how uncomfortable you are. Do you accept your situation like Old Blue or do you realize that it is time to get up and move. If you say that you will do something sometime in the future, you may as well say never. I said sometime for a lot of years and what did it get me? It took me the time spent until I listened to positive words on audio to quit smoking.

MLM Tips - What To Do And What Not To Do

Many times, new marketers have gotten mlm tips from their uplines that are quite ignorant. Ok, it is not my intention to get hostile in this post. I want to point out things that should not be done.

A Short List Of MLM Tips

I wanted to share this with you hoping that it makes you understand the basics of what to do and what not to do.

1. Use social media wisely.
2. Go For No.
3. Don’t say too much to a prospect at once.
4. Focus on your prospects fears, hopes and desires.

MLM Tips Explained

If you want to use Facebook or any other social networks to market your business, you are completely right for doing it, but the most ineffective way to do this is to share a link the first chance you have. Take a little time to get to know somebody first before sharing a link with them. It is extremely distasteful to throw out a link in the first communication. Even though you want to go for more people saying no due to numbers, the right way to get people on Facebook to take a look at your business is to get to know them first and allow them to learn about you first.

If you want the best of all mlm tips, here it is in a nutshell. Go For No. If you are not getting a lot of no thank you or not right now or no, I have a business, or no it is a scam or no it’s a pyramid or no I don’t have time…

YOU ARE NOT TALKING TO ENOUGH PEOPLE.

For number 3, you want to try to avoid letting out too much information. All you want to do is get people excited which leads us to mlm tips number 4 which is focusing on your prospects hopes, fears and dreams. Sure, you get into the details of your company, but when you are speaking to a cold prospect, first, don’t talk about the particulars of your company until you get into a sit down meeting. If you are in passing, focus on setting up a time, but also do a little pre qualification. Finding out why somebody may want to earn extra money will allow you to maintain focus on dreams, hopes and fears.

Take these mlm tips and apply them and let me know how they worked for you.

It is my intention to see you use these mlm tips properly, not to spam as many Facebook profiles as the time in a day allows or not to post in the maximum number of groups possible, but to actually be social and strike up conversation and make friends.

Sorry if I offend anyone here, but if your first contact with an individual is to show them a link, than you are pretty darn selfish. It means you only care about signing somebody up for your program and that you are ignoring an important one of my majorly important mlm tips and that is the hopes, fears and dreams of your prospect. That is far more important than a name showing in your back office. If you focus on hopes, dreams and fears, you will see more names in that back office than you know how to handle.

All that I ask from my readers usually are a couple of things. I want likes, shares and comments. It is not always easy to come across solid mlm tips. People are often told by their sponsor to go throw their link out to their company in every Facebook group, throw it out there and hope people join. That is a throw it at a wall and see what sticks thing. Network marketing is different. It is about people. Leave me your thoughts about this in the comments below and if you have any mlm tips to share, leave them, because some of my visitors may see yours and reach out to you.

EPX Body, Sisel, Visalus, Monavie and More

If you are looking at EPX Body or any of the other wellness companies out there, you have come to the right place to understand what it takes to build any of these businesses. The point of contention here often is which one is best, but your more savvy marketers tend to realize that it is the sponsor that matters more. People join you and we will go into detail today about it.

EPX Body is a phenomenal company!

Ok, I know you all have heard this one before. In fact, I can fill in any other company name to replace EPX Body. Does this sound familiar? I have recently been approached by many leaders from many different companies wanting me to join them because they stated how great their products or compensation plans were. Funny thing is that I turned ALL of them down. How about that? Now if the vitamin quality and compensation plan chould not help the guru, why would it help you?

Why you should consider EPX Body or anything else!

Here is the way I see things. You are looking for financial gain or product benefit. Maybe you want both. Personally, when I look at a company, after and only after I have looked at the person referring me have I looked further into the company. That much, I can say to be the truth. EPX Body is great for a brand new network marketer if you are fortunate enough to plug into a sponsor that will be available to help answer questions.

Warning: This does not mean that your sponsor will micro manage your business!

Don’t expect your sponsor to hold your hand and tell you where every button is in the back office or tell you about every product ingredient. I have learned the hard way over the course of my marketing experience that it is counter productive. I must admit, I was a product junky for quite a bit if time and could tell you the exact study that told why a particular ingredient was vital to your health. People could care less, wether it is EPX Body, Sisel, Visalus, Monavie, Herbalife or anything else. The networker is looking for the easiest way to make money.

To understand why in this case, EPX Body, I say sure, it is great when you are looking to replace lost income from a horrible recession or build a residual income for many years to come. That can be said about MANY network marketing companies.

With any company, in particular in wellness, check into things online for your own self to see if they are safe products. Ingredients are important, because the products should always have far more value than what the compensation plan implies. Google will provide you links in their search engine to tell you if there are bad ingredients in the products that you promote. Just type in the following line…

Is (ingredient name) harmful?

You will see probably millions of listings telling you the case. This is called due dilligence. I promote health and wellness products myself and expect no less of my prospects so I made darn sure to check this out for myself.

The next thing you need to consider is self motivation. Does your life suck enough to take action? If you said yes, that should help with your answer by telling you that there is something that needs you to act to fix in your own life.

Do you want to join EPX Body or any other particular wellness company and need some answers?

Ok, I will be more than happy to give you answers into EPX Body or any other network marketing company, but more than anything else, I would like to get to know what drew you to the industry. Is it for product or financial reasons? That is important to define. Your goals are what matters more than what any network marketer wants to sell to you.

If you want to do a goal assessment, feel free to call me, leave me a message at (848)466-1404 or hit me on Skype: lawrence.krakow

If you join EPX Body or any other network marketing company, the decision will be 100% your own and you will have no buyer’s remorse, because you made the decison to join EPX Body or that other company, whoever it is.

Residual Income - The Great Equalizer

We often thing about residual income in network marketing, but sometimes we think about it in the wrong context. People believe that if they sign up a few people to their primary network marketing business, they will all of a sudden start recruiting under them to give them the residual income that they desire. As some say, get three and they will get their three and so on and so forth and you will be rich! Take a second to put out a laugh as if you have NEVER heard that one before.

«« While you are busy smirking at that last comment, please like and share this post.

Residual Income In Network Marketing – What It Takes

Ok, so now lets say you found your three that are going to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams… Or so you think!

If you truly want to understand residual income, this is the best resource that I have found to date.

Two do nothing and one tries but struggles to sign anybody up. You stop recruiting to try to micromanage those three and help them get their three people.

So what happens here? Your residual income does not grow and your frustration mounts. What you are doing is counterproductive as stated clearly by Mark Yarnall in his book, “Your First Year In Network Marketing” where he tells you not to fall into the management trap. If you stop recruiting, your downline will stop recruiting and unfortunately, look for you for everything. That makes it nearly impossible to handle your own business.

So When Do You Focus On Residual Income Versus Recruiting?

Here is the best way to look at this question. If you keep on recruiting, eventually, you will find the ones that will generate residual income for you. If you try to force feed those that are just not ready to do this, they will fail and take you with them if you allow it.

In the beginning, you merely need to get them up to speed on some of the most basic things and pretty much that is it. Here are the ones that come from my own opinion.

1. Reinforce what got you excited after they are already signed up.
2. Tell them how to sign people up.
3. Tell them how to get on a three way if you need it with you or your upline.
4. Tell them NOT to overexplain things and talk their way out of a referral.
5. Allow them to call you if they have questions instead of chasing them down to ask them how many people they spoke to that day.

So What Does It Take For YOU To Generate Residual Income?

A few days back, I spoke about a short book called Go For No where the salesman was focusing on accumulationg a lot of no thanks before getting the yesses that he needed. All said and done, the bottom line is that you need to keep on talking to a lot of people. At some point, when you have the residual income of your dreams, I am almost certain that you will have the blessing of your sponsors and friends to stop and write your book and your story. For now, go for your residual income by talking to more people and managing your people less.

Tips For Blogging - Where To Find Content

I have a few tips for blogging to share with you today. Nothing to sell, but something that you can consider using since it will help you to come up with something to write on your blog. Think of this blog post in terms of the network marketer, but anyone in another niche can apply this information.

«« Do me a solid please and like and share. Comment below!

Tips For Blogging Content

You may not realize this, but you can find blog content just about anywhere. You can go to a bookstore or library and talk about a book in your niche by gathering a few important points from that book. That is just one example.

Here are a few tips for blogging content writing.

1. Visit Barnes And Nobles. Find a couple books in the network marketing and inspirational based books. Find a few bullet points by skimming the book and write about them. You can also do this for other fields than network marketing and home business.
2. Your local library has books on just about any subject as well.
3. Your own notes. As you go through your marketing over the course of time, things will happen and you will learn things. Always write them down as you learn them, because they will give you something out of the blue to write about.
4. Press releases and articles for the same search term or keyword as your own. Press releases and articles are all content.
5. Social media: There is a load of information in and around social media not limited to network marketing and inspiration of course!
6. Other related blogs. Learn something and apply it. Blog about it.
7. Not highly recommended, but should appear somewhere on your blog. Provide some brief information about your primary network marketing company.
8. Printed news media. What better way to justify network marketing than conveniently uncovering facts about how people will retire broke or possibly face foreclosure.

More Tips For Blogging

• Do not ever think you have to be perfect or worry if somebody is going to like it. Just do it. Your blog is automatically better the second that you post than it would be if you decided not to post.
• Interact with your users wherever possible.
• Notify all your social media when you post.

These tips for blogging are mainly focused on one area of blogging that is far more important than others.

JUST DO IT.

Far too long, people have said that they are not good writers yet they are aware of the fact that they had to write papers to graduate high school or college. Get rid of the excuse that says that you cannot write.

One thing I can tell you is to keep on following. I will be providing many tips for blogging as time goes. I feel that blogs are permanent and friendly to those that want to learn from them. They are also a great tool for personal branding. With this said, if you want to get leads for your business from your blog, you can do it so just do it. If it takes time to see results, that is ok. The whole idea is to get started. A blog will work for you 24/7/365. Again, keep coming back for more tips for blogging and comment below.

Why The Social Media Revolution

Thankfully for Internet marketers, the social media revolution is not over. There will always be room for growth that rivals periods like the industrial revolution and the baby boom. So how does the play out for you?

«< Please do me a solid and like and share. Comment below!

Making a case for the Social Media Revolution

Chances are that if you found this blog, you are marketing some kind of product or service and are still debating if social media is worth your time for your business. News flash! The Social Media Revolution has shown no sign of winding down. There are always new enhancements as technology always grows allowing different things. We now now that we are well over 1 billion social media users around the globe with literally instant exposure that a typical brick and mortar or belly to belly business would not receive.

Examples Of Social Media Revolution Footprints

A long long time ago, Myspace was the social media giant. I am not sure if people actually still visit the site. It has been quite a while for me. There are 5 major profiles that need to receive the bulk of your attention in your marketing. They are Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin and Google+. Once you are all set with these 5 sites in a solid format and you are sharing content and information on a daily basis, you can share videos to brand yourself.

So now we have justified your reason to participate in the Social Media Revolution.

A little advice to take away from all of this…

This blog post is not for the seasoned network marketer that has social profiles set up. I need not preach to the choir who knows this stuff already. This post is for the home business owner or network marketer that is afraid of trying something new. The Social Media Revolution is all about upside and potential. So let me pose a question to you.

Would you limit yourself into one box by only talking to the people that you interact with directly?

I sure hope not. Take a moment. Add me as a friend on Facebook and we can get you started.

With this said, I will see you over on Facebook and you will see the Social Media Revolution happening first hand.

IBO Toolbox - I Often Wonder Why It Is Free

There is a website called IBO Toolbox that makes me wonder why it is free due to the amount of value delivered. With this said, let’s get into more detail.

IBO Toolbox is many things.

After reading this post, you will see that this is a no brainer.

Briefly, IBO toolbox offers the following things.

• Personal profile page with all your contact information and details about yourself.
• The ability to write blog posts for the less than technically savvy individuals who have good things to say.
• The ability to submit press releases.
• The ability to share videos.
• The ability to make friends.
• The ability to generate leads by referring members to the site.
• Over 90% of the traffic to IBO toolbox comes from off site due to the large volume of content and search engine exposure.
• The IBO wall allows you to share and like things.
• Member to member chat.
• Ability to brand yourself.
• All for free. What the heck do you have to lose? Click my picture to get started.

How I discovered IBO Toolbox

I was offered to join this site long ago and must confess, I had other things on my plate so I spent very little time investigating it. In fact, I had an account for about a year before I started sharing anything. A friend of mine who actually is no longer involved in network marketing actually referred me over to the site. I am glad that he did, because there are a lot of great people who WANT to make money. IBO toolbox gives you exposure to people who are proven to want to make money online.

So why is IBO Toolbox a game changer?

If I keep it fairly simple for you, lead generation systems and attraction marketing systems often carry a price tag. Although I do recommend using them, this site is a perfect place for you to come while you figure out your money situation. It also allows you to define which leaders you would like to work with while still not coming out of pocket until you are ready to know that you are working with the best leader. IBO Toolbox is a place for you to brand yourself while learning about others in a stress free environment. Click my picture with the IBO Toolbox logo above to get your free IBO Toolbox account.
