Leadership

The true measure of all great leaders
is how well they weather the storms.

You’re the captain of the ship.

Never let others see fear in your eyes,

The only thing that stands between

simply the will to pursue it and
the faith to believe it is possible.

Only your mind sets your limits.

This report is actually an excerpt
from the best selling book,
"Multiple Streams of Income"
by Robert Allen.

The title of Chapter 11 is:

Network Marketing: The Ultimate Money Machine

This is some GREAT information on
HOW TO build YOUR business.

Mike

=================================================
Note: ( I begin quoting from the book here...)
=================================================

Principle 2: Use the Right Marketing System

By marketing system, I mean HOW
you will attract your customers.

Here is the system that most people use to get
started in traditional network marketing:

*** Make a list of at least 100 names,
including everyone you know.

*** Call each of them and try to sell them
your product or your opportunity.

What a formula!

It's simple... It's cheap... It's duplicable.

But 90% of the people who follow this system FAIL!

Why?

Because, the odds of finding a truly qualified customer
in ANY average group of 100 people is VERY low.

Maybe only 1 or 2 percent are actually seeking
your product or opportunity at this moment -
5 percent if you're lucky.

Zig Ziglar himself couldn't find more than
five good customers in this group.

Ninety-five people would turn him down.

That's a 95 percent rejection rate -
and he's the BEST SALESPERSON in the WORLD!

What's going to happen when our untrained
beginner calls this same list?

Massive rejection followed by failure.

It's not because the product is bad
or the opportunity is not good
or even because the beginner
doesn't know how to sell.

It's BECAUSE the odds of finding two good customers
in ANY LIST of 100 average people is very low.

But the beginner doesn't KNOW this...

But here's the GOOD NEWS.

Although a beginner feels defeated with only
a 5 percent success rate, ANY mail-order
marketer will tell you that a 5 percent response
rate is FANTASTIC!

It's the stuff FORTUNE'S are made of.

Mail-order marketers are ECSTATIC with
a 1 or 2 percent response rate!

Here is the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE behind
ANY successful network marketing business:

***********************************************
If you can find just ONE or TWO customers in
every 100 contacts, you can build a FORTUNE.
***********************************************

To be successful in network marketing
you need a SYSTEM that...

*** Dramatically lowers the probability of rejection.
*** Sifts through the 100 people to AUTOMATICALLY
find the five who are most interested.
*** Get those five prospects to CALL YOU on
the phone and tell you they're interested.
*** Automatically TRAINS the two HOTTEST prospects
to SELL THEMSELVES and give you the money.

No rejection:

Only the HOT prospect RESPONDS.

The 9 cold ones don't respond.

Good.

We don't want to talk to them anyway.

Who wants unnecessary rejection?

In other words, we DON'T do SALES.
We do MARKETING.

======================================

"HOW Do I Make Money With You

AND

Exactly WHAT Do I Need To Do?"

HOW Do You Make Money in Network Distribution?

It's really very simple.

You need to find 3-5 people in the ENTIRE world that
want to make an EXTRA $1,000 or more per month.

Then teach them how to do the same thing.

That's ALL you need to do.

There are approximately 6 BILLION souls on this planet.

You need to locate 3-5 of them that want
to make an extra $1,000 a month.

Exactly WHAT Do You Need To Do?

Again, this is very simple.

You need to make yourself and your
information AVAILABLE to people.

You MUST get your information to OTHER people.

It does you NO good whatsoever to keep
the information about your opportunity
all to yourself.

That is ALL you need to do.

OTHER people have the MONEY that YOU desire.

You must trade YOUR information for THEIR money.

HOW you make yourself and your information
available to people is up to you.

You can either:

1. TELL people that you know, verbally yourself,
as in talking to them.
2. Run ads and offer FREE Information.
Those people that respond are interested.
Send them the information and ask them
what else they need to know before
making a decision.
3. Join a Lead Generation company or buy a list
of leads and either call them or put them on
an Informational Series of emails on your
autoresponder.
4. Join an ad co-op with your upline and
call those people that respond.

There may be other ways to LOCATE people
to share your information with.

The bottom line is this:

You MUST do one of them if you want to build a check.

That's ALL there is to it.

Today

“If you live each day as if it was your last,
someday you’ll most certainly be right.”

It might be a good idea to ask yourself
this question every morning:

“If today were the last day of my life,
would I want to do what I’m about to do today?”

Whenever the answer has been “No”
for too many days in a row, maybe
you need to change something.

FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
(By - Jim Rohn)

Shortly after I met my mentor, he asked me,

"Mr. Rohn, how much money have you saved
and invested over the last six years?"

And I said, "None."

He then asked, "Who sold you on that plan?"

It is better to be a lender than a spender.

To become financially independent,

you must turn part of your INCOME into CAPITAL;

turn CAPITAL into ENTERPRISE;

turn ENTERPRISE into PROFIT;

turn PROFIT into INVESTMENT;

and turn INVESTMENT into FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.

Financial independence is the ability to live from
the income of your own personal resources.

If you depend on your company to take care
of your retirement, your future income
will be divided by five.

Take care of yourself, and you can
MULTIPLY your future income by five.

I remember saying to my mentor,

"If I had more money, I would have a better plan."

He quickly responded,

"I would suggest that if you had a better plan,
you would have more money."

You see, it's not the amount that counts;
it's the plan that counts.

If you were to show me your current financial plan,
would I get so excited by it that I would go
across the country and lecture on it?

If the answer is no, then here's my question,

"Why not?"

Why wouldn't you have a superior financial plan
that is taking you to the places you want to go?

I used to say, "Things cost too much."

Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying,

"The problem isn't that things cost too much.

The problem is that you can't afford it."

That's when I finally understood that the problem wasn't "IT"-

the problem was "ME."

Your Bank Account

You must begin to understand that
the present state of your bank account,
your sales, your health, your social life,
your position at work, etc.,
is nothing more than the physical manifestation
of your previous thinking.

If you sincerely wish to change or improve
your results in your physical world,
you must change your thoughts and
you must change them immediately.

Prosperity Consciousness

Lack and limitation can only exist when
we make room for them in our own minds.

But prosperity consciousness knows
no lack and no limitation.

The wealth you are seeking is –
and always has been –
seeking you in return.
