If your MLM product is NOT SELL-ABLE
to the general public...
Do you REALLY have a REAL BUSINESS?
Think about it...
Would you buy a sandwich shop if the sandwiches were not sell-able?
Would you buy a gift shop if the merchandise was not sell-able?
Would you buy a health food store if the products were not sell-able?
Are you in MLM or are you in BUSINESS?
Read The Cash Flow Strategy BEFORE you WASTE
another dime in a thinly disguised pyramid scheme.

Are you better off today?
Thanksgiving Day is a perfect day to ponder where we are...
So here goes.
In 1980 on the presidential campaign trail,
Ronald Reagan asked Americans,
"Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"
The answer that most people silently gave themselves is a
very big reason Mr. Reagan won the American Presidency
twice - and big.
This is a consequential question for us as network marketers also.
Starting a little business of one's own is no trivial thing.
So think back a moment...
To six months ago.
Assuming you intended that the business would make
you better off in say six months (at least)...
Did that happen?
If not, how can you change that?

The Box, or "Why You're Not Wealthy"
Everyone lives in a box.
Your perception of "how things are" is your box.
Own a house?
It's in your box.
Got kids?
They're in your box.
Earning $43,565 at a job you don't like?
That job is in the box.
So is the $43,565.
Here's what else:
If you believe you have to work hard to be successful...
...that hard work is in your box, too.
If you think that you're not wealthy because of your lack of education...
...that lack of wealth is in the box.
Along with your lack of a college degree.
It's all in there.
Everything you have and accept as "how things are" is in the box.
Now, here's what's also true...
Everything you want from life that you don't already have...
...is outside your box.
And the "odds" --
in terms of the percentage of people who make the choice --
the "odds" are that you will never get to have what you want
simply because your wants aren't powerful enough to overcome
your insecurity of being outside the box.
Get that.
Because that's the only thing keeping you from getting
what you want: the insecurity, the fear or the anxiety
of doing the things that will bring those goals
INTO your box.
Thus, success is simply a choice.
So, why aren't you wealthy already?
Simple:
Because you haven't chosen to BE that person.
You're busy staying in your box.
In fact, maybe you've decided not to be wealthy.
You might think, "Tony who would decide not to be wealthy?"
Well, you probably didn't say "I've decided not to be wealthy"....
But if you're not wealthy it's because you have
made the choices that do NOT lead to wealth.
And it's really the same thing.
You are where you are because --
either through action or inaction --
this is really where you wanted to be.
In fact, some of you are reading this right now and
you're appalled that someone should say such a thing.
That someone would suggest that your "not being wealthy"
has been a choice on your part.
You might even have a lot of "monkey chatter" going
in your head right now listing all the perfectly
good reasons why not being wealthy is not your choosing.
And here's the catch:
The reasons you give yourself for why you're not rich is
the stand that you've taken against becoming wealthy.
If you are not wealthy, you will be defending your decision
to remain in your current state EVEN AS YOU READ THIS.
If you don't believe it...
Stop right now and listen to your mind chatter.
Fortunately, the solution is quite simple.
Understand that you cannot get to where you want
to go with the same quality of thinking that
created your present situation.
Change your thinking and decisions and you change your life.
Get out of the box. Wonderful things are waiting.

Get Rid of the Frogs
"When shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants,
and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee
and thy houses?" (Exodus 8:9)
Have you ever wrestled with one of those problems
that stubbornly refuses to go away?
It seems to be immune to all solutions.
You swat at the thing in every conceivable way,
but instead of being eliminated, it expands and
multiplies until it's wildly out of control.
An Egyptian pharaoh faced just that kind of problem,
the Bible tells us, thousands of years ago.
He was in a hot dispute with God over the future
of the Israelites, and as a result of that dispute,
he woke up one morning to find his country
swarming with frogs.
Slimy, smelly, hopping-all-over-the-place frogs.
It was a serious problem.
I'm not talking about a frog or two in the front yard.
I mean frogs were everywhere --
in their beds, on their tables.
Big old frogs in the ovens.
Little bitty frogs in the bread dough
and the drinking water.
Frogs.
Frogs in your hair.
Frogs in places you wouldn't even want to think about!
Then God made a move.
He sent His man Moses in to Pharaoh to ask,
"When shall I entreat the Lord to get these
frogs out of here?"
Do you know what Pharaoh said?
"Tomorrow."
Can you imagine that?
He could have said, "Right now! Today!"
But instead he decided he'd spend
one more night among the frogs.
You say, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard."
Why in the world would he do it tomorrow?
I don't know.
Probably for the same reason you want
to wait until tomorrow to get saved
or healed or prosperous.
Here's what I want you to notice.
When Moses asked Pharaoh that question and he answered,
"Tomorrow," Moses said, "All right."
"So that you know there's a God in heaven,
BE IT DONE UNTO YOU ACCORDING
TO YOUR WORDS."
Let me ask you this:
How long are you willing to let that
persisting problem harass you?
When are you going to get rid
of the frogs in your life?
Do you realize they'll stay around
as long as you'll let them?
They'll be there until you finally make
a quality decision to go with the
Word of God and get them out.
Why don't you do it today?

It Doesn't Matter!
Know what doesn't matter (in network marketing)?
It.
Know what "it" is?
Take your pick of the following "its":
Having the (really, no kidding, you can prove it) best product.
Having the (really, no kidding, you can prove it) best comp plan.
Having the (really, no kidding, you can prove it) best people
who ever ran a network marketing company in the history
of the world.
None of that or those matter.
None.
One thing and one thing only matters.
You SELLING your product successfully and enrolling
business-builders in/on your team who do the same
or better.
That's it.
That's all.
"Well... you've got to have the best product,
and plan, and people to do that."
NO you don't.
Look around—in and out of network marketing.
The MOST successful business enterprises you can name
DO NOT have the "best" anything... except sales.
Yes, I know... I know...
But tell me please...
What are you "after" in your business?
Sales (which is what you are paid for)
is where the rubber meets the road.
Without that, you're driving a parked car
(even if it is a $1.2 million, 248 mph
Bugatti Veyron 16.4).
BTW, the best selling car in the world is
the Toyota Corolla with 35 million sold.
Hardly "the best" automobile in the world.

"I Can't Afford It"
"I can't afford it"
That's not true.
At least it's not true almost all the time.
Very few of your prospects
literally can't afford it.
What they are really trying to say is,
"it's not worth it."
As in -
it's not worth re-prioritizing my life...
not worth the risk...
not worth what I'll have to
give up to get this...
not worth being in debt for.
One response to repeated
cries of "I can't afford it"
is to lower your prices.
A better response is to tell a better,
more accurate story, and to tell it
to the right people.
The best response is to make something worth paying for.

How To Enroll Health Food Stores
Tuesday 7:00 PM
Baton Rouge, LA
Working on a NEW eBook:
"How To Enroll Health Food Stores
Into Your Network Marketing
Organization by Mail Order"
I use FREE Vista Print post cards
and have gotten like 84 stores
selling my products for me.
Every store has its own network
of customers that I would have
NEVER reached on my own.
And they bring credibility to the
table that a part-time MLMer
never could.
Talk about volume!
Hope to get it done before we leave
on our October vacation sometime
next week.
Stay tuned...

Here's what I do:
I have a few ads running online.
I get several GREAT

Quite often, they call me first.
I love that.

Takes maybe 30 minutes total.
Sometimes we really hit it
off and talk for hours.
Anyway, I don't worry about
the outcome of the call.
All I want to do is introduce myself,
and meet someone new, a fellow marketer.
Ask one or two simple questions.
Point them to some really good
FREE information in my system.
Let them sell themselves.

and when I'm in a hotel on
the beach, like I am now.

It's Easier to Sponsor a Happy Customer...
The Part-Time Millionaires
Business Development System
Lead With The Product While
Selling "The Dream"
If the product doesn't make sense,
the business won't either.
Your goal is to develop a
culture of "products first".
This will protect your business
and secure your future because
business has a natural rhythm:
Up and down.
So, you need to anchor to the
strength of your product!
This will stabilize your organization even
when you experience rough waters.
In contrast to MLM, take a look at McDonalds...
With McDonalds, every franchise owner can
potentially be successful, and most are.
McDonalds works because the
fundamental business unit,
the single store, makes a profit...
So, the other stores
(as in, your downline)
are profitable too.
Your typical MLM company is
promoting a sales process
that fundamentally loses money!
Let me explain...

“What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas.”
Monday 9:17 PM
Lake Buena Vista, FL
You ever notice, in Las Vegas
Lake Buena Vista, FL
You ever notice, in Las Vegas
they don’t advertise the gambling?
You’ve seen the ads in the magazines and on TV…
“What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.”
They advertise the shows and the entertainment
and the fabulous hotels and the fun and excitement…
everything but the gambling!
And where do they make their money?
On the “back-end” – the gambling.
You ever have an MLM heavy hitter call
you and pitch you on their MLM deal?
No? I didn’t think so…
That’s not the way they do it.
The high-rollers and heavy hitters
all follow the same FORMULA.
They all “lead” with an information product.
Look at Big Al…
Big Al sells seminars and books and tapes…
So does Randy Gage, Russell Paley, Mike Dillard,
Mike Stokes, the Amway/Quixtar hitters,
Herbalife players, the list goes on and on…
They all make their money before their downline shows up.
Now, you can do this too!
Quit spending money advertising your MLM opportunity…
No one’s interested!
You retail a low-cost “front-end” generic information product:
a book, CDs, “How-To” courses – to pay for your advertising
and lead generation, and make your big money on the “back-end”
product which is your MLM opportunity!
"It’s easier to sponsor a customer
than to recruit a complete stranger."
Are you beginning to see how much simpler and
less stressful it would be to have prospects
calling you up...
Seeking your help and advice, and you pointing
them to a generic information product that will
really help them?
Rather than the major TIME and MONEY investment,
not to mention the uncertainty, of an
all-together new business “opportunity”?
It takes time to grow a downline.
And you’ve got to make money in the meantime…
And that means retailing.
How many people do you know that want
to buy into your "pyramid" deal?
Yet there are millions of people already in
a network marketing business and struggling,
that are eagerly searching for information
on how to build their businesses faster and better!
Which person do you think would be easier to sell?
It’s way faster – and easier – to make $500 a month
retailing a product or service that everyone needs
than it is to build a $500 a month residual check.
Plus, you’re positioning yourself as an expert,
providing generic tools and information to the
industry...
And not out there pleading with people
to get rich with you in your new deal.
And best of all, unlike selling your business opportunity
to a complete stranger, Information Marketing is easier
to sell – you can put in on “auto-pilot”.
How often does anyone call you up to
sell you a book or marketing course?
You sell these products with sales letters and websites,
24/7, while you’re at work, sleeping, or on vacation!
Actually, you don’t sell them...
Machines do!
Websites, auto-responders, emails.

You’ve seen the ads in the magazines and on TV…
“What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.”
They advertise the shows and the entertainment
and the fabulous hotels and the fun and excitement…
everything but the gambling!
And where do they make their money?
On the “back-end” – the gambling.
You ever have an MLM heavy hitter call
you and pitch you on their MLM deal?
No? I didn’t think so…
That’s not the way they do it.
The high-rollers and heavy hitters
all follow the same FORMULA.
They all “lead” with an information product.
Look at Big Al…
Big Al sells seminars and books and tapes…
So does Randy Gage, Russell Paley, Mike Dillard,
Mike Stokes, the Amway/Quixtar hitters,
Herbalife players, the list goes on and on…
They all make their money before their downline shows up.
Now, you can do this too!
Quit spending money advertising your MLM opportunity…
No one’s interested!
You retail a low-cost “front-end” generic information product:
a book, CDs, “How-To” courses – to pay for your advertising
and lead generation, and make your big money on the “back-end”
product which is your MLM opportunity!
"It’s easier to sponsor a customer
than to recruit a complete stranger."
Are you beginning to see how much simpler and
less stressful it would be to have prospects
calling you up...
Seeking your help and advice, and you pointing
them to a generic information product that will
really help them?
Rather than the major TIME and MONEY investment,
not to mention the uncertainty, of an
all-together new business “opportunity”?
It takes time to grow a downline.
And you’ve got to make money in the meantime…

Three Warning Signs of Poverty Mentality
Three Warning Signs of Poverty Mentality
by Randy Gage
When was the last time you gave any serious thought
to your priorities, and where you expend your energy?
Can you say with certainty that you are completely
focused on ‘abundance’ and not on ‘lack’?
I don’t think people are born with an
abundance mentality or a lack mentality.
I think for many of us our priorities are the
result of subtle, subconscious ‘programming’
that determines our approach to just about
everything in life.
Instead of being programmed for success,
most people are programmed to avoid
failure.
This programming controls how you react to hundreds
of situations, each and every day. And the way you
react reveals what your programming really is.
There are many different warning signs all around
us that we are suffering from lack programming or
a poverty mentality, but none of these red flags
will be of any use until we open our eyes and
start looking for them.
Like posted traffic signs and speed limits,
these warning signs are there for our benefit,
helping us raise awareness of our programming.
Three of the most common warning signs
I see are the following:
Warning sign #1: Constant Money Fixation
What do you think about money?
When you do think about it, are you concerned
about how much of it you lack,
or how much you can manifest?
Have you ever thought about why you want
to manifest money in the first place?
Most poor people spend all their time thinking about
money (or more specifically, their lack of it).
When I was younger and broke, that’s what I did.
I was fixated on money.
I thought about all the things I didn’t have and couldn’t get.
And I was very jealous of the people who had them.
Warning sign #2: "I Hate Rich People!"
Being jealous of all the things other people
had that I didn’t have, didn't help matters.
Know where it led?
Jealousy soon turned to hate.
Soon I hated all rich people because they had what I wanted
-- nice homes, exotic cars, expensive clothes.
That’s when the real problems started,
because as much as I hated rich people,
I was working hard every day trying to
become one!
That set the stage for a whole bunch of internal conflict
that I had no idea was going on.
I ended up surging forward to success,
only to sabotage myself every time I
got close.
I snatched defeat from the jaws of
victory more times than I can count.
I thought I was programmed for success,
but was actually programmed for poverty.
Warning sign #3:
Fear-Based Decision-Making Making
Decisions based on fear of loss or failure
never leads toward prosperity.
In fact, fear-based decision-making can rob you
of any sense of happiness or joy of success,
and distort your behavior.
Have you ever seen someone experience more anguish
at losing $10 than earning $100?
Ever seen someone drive around a parking lot
for 10 minutes to avoid a one-minute walk to
the store?
These scenarios are fear-based, not prosperity driven.
The decisions are not made on what the possible benefits are,
but made in order to avoid a possible negative outcome.
How do you know what kind of programming you have?
If you really want to know if you have prosperity
programming or a poverty mentality,
look for your answer in the previous scenarios.
Do they sound familiar?
If you make decisions--particularly money and career ones--
based on the "moving away from fear" model,
you’ve got poverty programming.
If your decisions are made based on a
positive "move toward prosperity" model,
then you have success programming.
What do you do if you test poverty programming?
You’re already doing it.
Raise your awareness of your programming
and recognize it for what it is.
Of particular importance is regulating the influences
you’re getting from the TV shows and movies you watch,
the books you read, etc.
I applied the principles of a prosperity mentality,
and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has
had a greater degree of turnaround.
This only happened because I was willing to confront
my weaknesses, discover and eliminate the insidious
poverty mentality I had, and replace it with positive
programming.
To this day, I am ever vigilant, mindful of
what I allow myself to watch and listen to,
and the people I associate with.
The more you experience success and prosperity,
the more you’ll start to realize how little
they have to do with opportunity, chance, luck -
or even training, education, or skill.
It has everything to do with consciousness,
beliefs, and even subconscious programming
that you aren’t aware of.
You see, poverty is not an absence of money and things
-- it is a mindset.
Prosperity is not an abundance of money and things
--it’s also a mindset.
When I began studying the laws that govern prosperity,
I had to get out of my comfort zone, face fears,
and really examine my belief system.
It was hard work, and sometimes still is,
but the results are well worth the
temporary discomfort.
I share all of this with you in the hope you
too will benefit from its truth.
I want you to be healthy, happy, and rich!
--RG
P.S. Start expecting and accepting your own prosperity today!

help you get started on the right path. Take a moment right now
to check them out and see how they can help you transform your
life!

Professional Dreamers
Most individuals are professional dreamers
who, in fact, only need the dreaming.
They don’t need the responsibility
or the action required to
materialize their dreams.
The idea of their dream actually
becoming a part of their lives
is often too daunting.
So, many ensure they are never disappointed
by under performing or selecting actions
that ensure their dream remains just that:
only a dream.

You Don’t Have To Be a Genius to Make Money
You Don’t Have To Be a Genius to Make Money,
But It Sure Helps to Know One!
or
Maybe I Was “Lucky”
Almost every day someone will tell me that
they want to make $10,000.00 a month,
and even more for goodness sakes...
But they won’t do what it takes
to make $100.00 a month.
They won’t take the action required to cover
their product costs, let alone do what it
takes to cover some marketing expenses.
They want to be a “heavy hitter” marketing guru,
and make the big bucks, yet they don’t want to
INVEST in the education – books, tapes, seminars,
etc – to learn how to do what they want to do...
...to have SUCCESS.
They'd rather watch American Idol on the TV
and learn how to make money by osmosis.
Yet these same people don’t bat an eye at
spending $100,000.00 and 4 years of their
lives to go to college to learn how to be
a $30,000 a year bookkeeper.
They want to quit their jobs and “go full time”,
yet they won’t INVEST one measly hour a day
in their business.
What in the world do they plan to do with
the extra 40 – 50 hours they have on their
hands if they quit their jobs?
They want to be in the marketing business,
but don’t want anyone to know about it.
Some even hide their business
from their spouses.
Good Lord.
If people in the “real” world thought the
way many people in direct sales think,
they’d certainly lose their jobs and
businesses, and maybe even be put in
a mental institution.
Maybe I thought like that before I got
into the direct sales business, because
I certainly lost my home, my business
and everything I owned once.
Maybe I was “lucky”, because I went down
the “stupid” highway before I was exposed
to direct sales.
And maybe I was “lucky”, because it wasn’t
“just a couple of hundred bucks” that I
INVESTED to start my direct sales business,
it was every cent I had and could put my
hands on in the world.
In fact, it was our grocery money.
No kidding.
You ever make spaghetti sauce with
the ketchup packs you saved up from
fast food joints?
We did, more than once too.
Maybe I was “lucky” because I had
to take my new business seriously,
or my family wouldn’t eat.
Maybe you could relate this to putting up
your home, all your savings, all of your
retirement benefits, all of your possessions,
and quitting your job to start a business
of some sort.
Do you think you would take that serious?
As serious as a heart attack, I’d think.
I talk with people every day that
don’t want to sell any products.
I’m not sure that they understand the English language.
What could they possibly think that
“marketing” and “direct sales” involves?
I tell these folks to toss their products
out the back door if they don’t want to
sell anything.
That’ll work.
Sort of like opening a convenience store,
and not wanting to sell the cigarettes and
beer, yet expecting money to materialize
in the cash register.
Seems foolish to me, but whatever rings
their bell, so what the heck.
I don’t understand where they’re coming from.
Maybe they know something I don’t.
But then, I’m the one getting
checks in the mail every day.
Maybe I was “lucky” that I had to sell
my initial order of products, in order
to pay for my next order.
You see, I “stole” $57.00 out of our
so-called budget to start my new
direct sales and marketing business.
Fifty-seven dollars.
On September 2, 1998.
But, the difference is, I didn’t INVEST
“just $57.00” in my new business,
I invested it ALL.
I had just “moved up” from homeless to
a tiny apartment in what can only be
described as a ghetto neighborhood.
Drunks and bums for neighbors…
The occasional shooting.
Anyway, fast-forward…
Less than 9 months later, on May 31, 1999,
I bought my wife the first new car she
had ever owned in her life.
A brand new, never been driven,
shiny black Toyota Camry.
She was so proud of it.
I was too.
Then, 23 months after opening my $57.00
direct sales and marketing business,
I bought my wife a real home,
in a nice neighborhood.
Still selling the products that I couldn’t
afford to keep 23 months earlier.
I guess I was “lucky.”
Maybe I got all the “breaks.”
Didn’t seem like it at the time.
But, looking back, I think I did get all the “breaks.”
My first “break” came just moments after
I bought in to my marketing business.
My sponsor vanished.
To this day, I have never heard another
word from him, or even about him.
He simply vanished.
Maybe he was abducted, I don’t know.
Maybe I’m a “genius.”
I didn’t even know the phone number
to the company I had just joined.
I had to wait until my first $57.00 order
arrived to find out how to contact the company.
Well, at least I was smart enough to know
that I needed to hook up with someone that
knew what they were doing...
Because I was “blessed” to not know a
thing about this marketing business.
Well, I have to admit that I was
“lucky” about one thing at least.
In the company newsletter that came with
my initial $57.00 order, they listed all
of the big money earners in the company.
They don’t list the people that don’t make any money.
Imagine that...
(I have since come to learn that most companies are like that.)
My “luck” is kicking in now, because if I’m
gonna call anyone for advice, it has to be
one of those big money earners on that list.
I just plain didn’t know how to contact anyone
as dumb and broke as myself, which is who I
certainly would have contacted given the chance.
Well, I’m about to learn my first lesson
in prosperity consciousness.
That lesson is this:
When you need business advice and counseling,
get it from someone who is already where
you want to be.
Not at the barroom or from your
dumb, broke brother-in-law.
Write this down:
If you want to make money,
you’ve got to get close to the money.
If you want to catch the flu,
hang around with people that have the flu.
If you want to make money,
hang around with people
that are making money.
It’s not much more complicated than that.
Oh, and you do need to heed their advice.
And, take action.
So, what’s the “secret” of success?
1. ASSOCIATE with successful people.
2. INVEST in your success education.
3. DO what successful people do.
4. Take ACTION. In other words, do it.
You can’t PLAY business,.
You’re either IN business, or you’re wasting
people’s time and your family’s money.

to pay for my next order.
You see, I “stole” $57.00 out of our
so-called budget to start my new
direct sales and marketing business.
Fifty-seven dollars.
On September 2, 1998.
But, the difference is, I didn’t INVEST
“just $57.00” in my new business,
I invested it ALL.
I had just “moved up” from homeless to
a tiny apartment in what can only be
described as a ghetto neighborhood.
Drunks and bums for neighbors…
The occasional shooting.
Anyway, fast-forward…
Less than 9 months later, on May 31, 1999,
I bought my wife the first new car she
had ever owned in her life.
A brand new, never been driven,
shiny black Toyota Camry.
She was so proud of it.
I was too.
Then, 23 months after opening my $57.00
direct sales and marketing business,
I bought my wife a real home,
in a nice neighborhood.
Still selling the products that I couldn’t
afford to keep 23 months earlier.
I guess I was “lucky.”
Maybe I got all the “breaks.”
Didn’t seem like it at the time.
But, looking back, I think I did get all the “breaks.”
My first “break” came just moments after
I bought in to my marketing business.
My sponsor vanished.
To this day, I have never heard another
word from him, or even about him.
He simply vanished.
Maybe he was abducted, I don’t know.
Maybe I’m a “genius.”
I didn’t even know the phone number
to the company I had just joined.
I had to wait until my first $57.00 order
arrived to find out how to contact the company.
Well, at least I was smart enough to know
that I needed to hook up with someone that
knew what they were doing...
Because I was “blessed” to not know a
thing about this marketing business.
Well, I have to admit that I was
“lucky” about one thing at least.
In the company newsletter that came with
my initial $57.00 order, they listed all
of the big money earners in the company.
They don’t list the people that don’t make any money.
Imagine that...
(I have since come to learn that most companies are like that.)
My “luck” is kicking in now, because if I’m
gonna call anyone for advice, it has to be
one of those big money earners on that list.
I just plain didn’t know how to contact anyone
as dumb and broke as myself, which is who I
certainly would have contacted given the chance.
Well, I’m about to learn my first lesson
in prosperity consciousness.
That lesson is this:
When you need business advice and counseling,
get it from someone who is already where
you want to be.
Not at the barroom or from your
dumb, broke brother-in-law.
Write this down:
If you want to make money,
you’ve got to get close to the money.
If you want to catch the flu,
hang around with people that have the flu.
If you want to make money,
hang around with people
that are making money.
It’s not much more complicated than that.
Oh, and you do need to heed their advice.
And, take action.
So, what’s the “secret” of success?
1. ASSOCIATE with successful people.
2. INVEST in your success education.
3. DO what successful people do.
4. Take ACTION. In other words, do it.
You can’t PLAY business,.
You’re either IN business, or you’re wasting
people’s time and your family’s money.

FREE Report: Dead Downlines Don't Lie
Are you tired of struggling?
Burned-out from chasing "leads" every day?
FREE Report reveals "How To End The Struggle"
once and for all.
Would you like to have a predictable flow
of interested, pre-sold prospects calling
you every day, credit card in hand,
ready to buy?
If you'd like to have complete control over
your recruiting process, regardless of the
economy, or the "season" or any other market
condition, and put an end to the endless
humiliation, then this FREE Report is for you.
If you're like most people in the industry,
you've found that recruiting is getting
tougher and tougher.
You have to talk to lot's more people
than ever before...
You're chasing after people that just
aren't interested in your story...
Going to meetings and conference calls
that hardly seem worth the bother...
If what you're doing isn't working,
maybe it's time to fix it...
What mainstream companies have learned a
long time ago is that success in business
has a lot more to do with understanding the
secrets of marketing and little to do with
chasing after your child's soccer coach.
The network marketing industry is booming
for people that understand and practice
business and marketing philosophies.
Are you ready to quit spinning your wheels
and start building a business that you can
be proud of?

Marketing Basics - Simplicity
Let's get back to basics and
simplicity of this business.
Here are the important things:
1. Targeting a group of people with common wants or needs.
2. Finding out what they perceive as valuable.
3. Offering that to them with a sales process that gets them to buy.
Step one is where most people falter traditionally.
But what I've noticed more and more is that step two is a problem.
People sell their product, service or information too cheaply.
Why?
Because they don't know how to create perceived value for it.

Lead With The Product While
Selling "The Dream"
If the product doesn't make sense,
the business won't either.
Your goal is to develop a
culture of "products first".
This will protect your business
and secure your future because
business has a natural rhythm:
Up and down.
So, you need to anchor to the
strength of your product!
This will stabilize your organization even
when you experience rough waters.
In contrast to MLM, take a look at McDonalds...
With McDonalds, every franchise owner can
potentially be successful, and most are.
McDonalds works because
the fundamental business unit,
the single store, makes a profit...
So, the other stores
(as in, your downline)
are profitable too.
Your typical MLM company is
promoting a sales process
that fundamentally loses money!
Let me explain...

They buy want they want,

They are more influenced

If you find yourself in a hole,
the first thing you need to do,
is stop diggin'.
What does this have to do with marketing?
If you've been in a business
for more than 90 days...
And you're not making money,
get out.
Period. End of discussion.
When they talk about a "two to five year plan,"
they're talking about making serious big-time
money in two to five years...
Not about breaking even
or making pocket change.
The definition of insanity is
continuing to do the same thing
and expecting a different result.

Efficiency is performing a given task
(whether important or not) in the
most economical manner possible.
Being efficient without regard to
effectiveness is the default mode

Three Cheers for Lazy People
Where would we be
without lazy people?
Many people aren't willing
to expend any EFFORT.
That's GREAT news for you.
Lazy people are easy
to compete against.
My preference is to compete against
lazy people who won't spend anything
on learning or self education.
People say really, really stupid things,
like, "I can't imagine ever spending
$XXX dollars just for information."
I say, "Hallelujah!"
THAT is the kind of person
I want to compete against.
That's the average type of person
that thinks they're in business.
A little know-how, a little superior
strategy and a little work and you
can blow them out of the water.
And, that's why I love network marketing.
There's NO competition!
You need an edge?
Get the Design Dashboard.
The Design Dashboard is way
more than just graphic design.
Not only will you be able to
launch your own web sites
at will...
It also covers writing sales letters,ftp,
autoresponders and shopping carts,
e-commerce and lots more.

you need to know to compete
in the 21st century marketplace!

want to keep on doing
what they've always done...
Which is work 40-50-60 hours a week
and more, at a dead-end j-o-b.
And live their lives
just-over-broke.

If what you're doing isn't working,
it's time you made a change.
"If you keep on doing
what you've always done,
you'll keep on getting
what you've always gotten."
Most likely, what you need to do
is to learn some new skills.

I also believe the most important part
of the whole equation is what you DO.
What you DO is as important
as what you KNOW.
Doing requires confronting what
is NOT comfortable to you.
Watching DVD's and going
to seminars is comfortable.
DOING is not.
Why?
It's a learning curve.
Things don't work.
Things aren't as simple
as you wish.
That's part of life.
But if you really wanna make it happen,
you gotta focus on DOING.
And the main reason I bring up this
uncomfortable and unpopular truth
is because I want YOU to succeed.
My products for the most part
are NOT about secrets.
They're about DOING.
Yeah, that isn't as sexy and interesting and fun.
But do you wanna be entertained?
Or do you wanna make money?
If you wanna make money, then buy
your "know-how" carefully and
focus on DOING.
You don't HAVE unless you DO.
You gotta confront ACTION.
You gotta do things you are
NOT comfortable with.
You gotta pick up the phone and
call people or do interviews.
You gotta write things like sales letters
that are new learning curves.
And yes, you can outsource some
or all of the above --
IF you have the money to do it.
And can confront SPENDING the money
to hire people to do things.
And confront the idea you probably will
end up spending money on some things
that are junk or done wrong.
The basic questions are:
Who are you selling to?
What you selling them?
And how are you finding them?
But I'll spell them out:
Do you have your target market
or target audience yet?
That for a lot of people is the point
at which they stop or get stuck.
All things being equal, you're best off
selling something you can at least get
passionate about.
That's why I do marketing information

A Basic Economic Principle
Every once in a while,
basic economic principles
are important to remember.
For example...
You price everything you own
above fair market value.
That's why you still own it.
The economy depends on
disagreement over value.
You sell when the money is
worth more than the thing.
The other guy buys when the thing
has more value than the money.
A "disagreement" that produces
a profit for both sides!
The reason you want economic activity
is not to keep people busy and off
the streets...
But, that every voluntary trade
increases the wealth of both sides...
...And so increases the standard
of living of the nation.
The more activity, the higher
the standard of living.
It's magic...
And it all comes from a
"disagreement" over value.

eBay Classifieds Exposed
You've seen those "Classified Ads" on eBay...
You ever try to set on up?
Ha!
There is a lot confusion about
HOW to put up a classified ad
on eBay.
Even eBay has little or no
user info on this topic.
Here's WHAT you need to do:
Two steps are required here...
First, you need to find the categories
that allow classified ads.
Second, you need to find the hidden tab that turns them on.
For whatever reason, eBay seems to hide these things.
To see what eBay categories
accept classified ads:
STEP 1:
From the eBay.com homepage:
1- Click on "advanced search" (top of screen)
leaving all fields blank
2- Click on "search" leaving all fields blank
3- Under the "format" drop down box,
select "classified ads" and click
the "show" button out to the far
right hand side of the drop down boxes
You'll see a bunch of eBay categories
with zero listings, but scroll way down...
You'll see some categories
with hundreds of listings.
The listings with zeros aren't
eligible for classified ads.
The rest ARE eligible.
This will also get you an idea
of how few people are using
the classified ads!
Take note of the "eligible" category
you'll be using to list your item
before moving to STEP 2.
STEP 2:
Set up an ad in one of the approved categories:
1- From the eBay.com home page click
on "sell" and insert your item title
description
2- Proceed to the page where
you select your category
3- Select a category that allows classified ads
(from STEP 1)
4- Once you proceed to the page
titled "Sell: Create Your Listing"
scroll down to the section titled
"How you're selling".
At the top of that section
you should see FOUR tabs.
One of them is "classified ad"
ASSUMING that you've chosen a
category that ALLOWS classified
ads (from STEP 1 above)
Hope this helps some...

A Free Internet Tool That Can Add Thousands to Your Bottom Line
A Free Internet Tool That Can Add
Thousands to Your Bottom Line
By Larry Fredericks
Imagine a "magic" well that you could tap
into any time you wanted -one that would
make it possible for you to simply drop
a bucket into it and pull up any of the following:
- New customers for your company
- Excellent employees
- Skilled consultants in almost any field
- People with cash who want to invest in your business
- Buyers or renters for your real estate
Well, this is not a fairy tale.
With the CraigsList website, you can
do all of the above and a lot more.
And you can do it for free!
CraigsList was founded in 1995 by self-described
"computer geek" Craig Newmark when he started
using a list server to post notices about events
in the San Francisco area.
People eventually began using his site to post notices
for job openings, cars for sale, apartments for rent,
and even personal ads.
The site grew by word of mouth,
and now serves 450 cities worldwide,
gets more than seven billion page views each month,
and ranks with Google, Yahoo, eBay, AOL,
and Microsoft as one of the top 10
most-heavily trafficked English-language websites.
Here’s how to harness the power of CraigsList:
CraigsList Is a Fantastic Place to Find
Job Seekers in Practically Any Industry
If you’re looking for someone to do just about
any kind of job - mow your lawn or refinish
your cabinets, for example - you will probably
find a qualified candidate on this site.
I posted an ad for a Web page builder in the Miami area.
Within 24 hours, I was inundated by over
50 applicants, most of whom were offering
their services at very reasonable rates.
With a little effort, I was able to find a
qualified individual who was willing to do
the work from thousands of miles away for
$12 an hour.
And he built a site for me that had quite
a few complicated features, such as:
- An automated shopping cart for my customers
to place credit card orders
- An automated product-delivery system that
instantly delivers my product(a book)
as a PDF file to the customer
- A number of links and pages that incorporate
quotes, photos, and other graphics
This very sophisticated website cost me
approximately $120 - total - to construct.
But CraigsList can offer you much more
than access to Internet webmasters.
You can use it to recruit full-time or
temporary employees for any business.
It costs nothing to post job-recruitment ads
for all but a few cities (including New York,
Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Boston, Seattle,
San Diego, and San Francisco).
You Can Create Income With CraigsList, Too!
There are several ways to generate income with CraigsList.
If you are seeking new clients, you can place your
own advertisements in the Services section.
You can also scan various forums on the site for people
who are looking for the kind of services you provide.
If you have something to sell, you can do it
on CraigsList via its Classified section.
This is a great way to make a few extra bucks
the next time you clean out the attic.
And you could conceivably make substantial profits
by selling high-ticket items like houses, cars,
or furniture, just to name a few.
5 Steps to Getting Started:
1. Go to CraigsList.org and select the city where
you’ll be conducting your buying/selling/hiring/etc.
2. Choose an appropriate category.
For example, if you wanted to sell a computer,
you’d go to the For Sale section of the site.
Then, within that section, you’d click on the Computers category.
3. Write a catchy headline and copy for your advertisement.
(You can choose to let people see your e-mail address or
have CraigsList forward all the responses to you…
anonymously and for free.)
4. Post your ad by clicking on the button in your
selected category that says "Post."
5. Your ad will run for 30 days before it automatically
terminates, but you can have it removed at any time.
(When you place the ad, you’ll get a confirmation via e-mail
with instructions how to edit or pull your ad.)
A word of caution:
As with all classified-style advertising,
keep in mind that you’re dealing with
strangers on CraigsList.
So protect yourself by thoroughly checking
references for the people who respond to
your job offers.
And if you’re selling something - especially
a high-priced item - ask for payment via a
cashier’s check or money order made out to you.
CraigsList is an enormously popular website
that offers many ways for you to benefit -
both in business and in your personal life.
Taking advantage of free Internet websites like this
is just one of many "street smart" tactics every
small-business entrepreneur should be engaging in.
[Ed. Note: Larry Fredericks has owned and operated
over half a dozen highly successful small businesses.

business with his "Street Smart Business" program.]

How To Be Rich
Becoming a member of the New Rich

Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond
measure.
It is our light,
not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
We were born to make manifest the
glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
its in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates
others.

What Is Success?
Is success about money?
Lifestyle?
Working environment?
Peace of mind?
Self respect?
I think it's about all those things and more.
The definition of success varies.
Let me give you my basic definition of success:
A successful person has these six things:
PEACE OF MIND -
This means freedom from want, fear, and worry.
HEALTH -
This covers both physical and mental health.
Doesn't mean being in the shape of an
Olympic athlete, but rather that you
take care of yourself.
PART OF A COMMUNITY -
This is really important, and mostly
ignored by many people.
We are social animals, and we need
to have people around us who share
our interests.
FINANCIAL FREEDOM -
This doesn't necessarily mean
millions of dollars.
It means having enough money to handle
your needs, and/or being able to raise
money to cover any expenses.
John Lennon once said if he wanted a pool,
he'd write a song.
That's financial freedom in action.
WORTHY GOALS AND IDEAS -
This is about having a vision
of your future.
What's your future look like?
Is it making enough money working part time
to allow you a good lifestyle and more
time with your kids?
Is to retire early so you can travel?
Is it to be your own boss?
A worth goal is never expressed
in just dollar terms.
It's expressed as a lifestyle.
FEELING OF PERSONAL FULFILMENT -
This one is listed last because
it is the result of the first
five ingredients of success.
When we have or are making good
progress towards the first five
items, we feel good about ourselves.
(These six ingredients were originally
written by Brian Tracy in his book "Goals.")

On Being an Entrepreneur
Seth Godin on Being an Entrepreneur
(Source: the BusinessWeek website)
Mike Stokes
www.WalkAwayWealth.com
"The first thing people considering starting
a business should do is ask themselves -
honestly - whether they're building
a freelance venture
or
an entrepreneurial venture.
A freelancer gets paid to work.
An entrepreneur makes money
while she sleeps.
There's nothing wrong with freelancing -
with creating something interesting on
a bespoke basis.
It's like having a job,
but you're the boss.
But you have to recognize that
at the beginning and build the
business accordingly.
You shouldn't raise money,
you should keep costs low,
and so on.
An entrepreneur, in contrast,
raises money and hires people
to do the work so that she
can focus on growth."

audio and video does not rival TV quality.
The audio jumps and the video can cut in and out,
but, if you have any experience with online video,
the quality may actually surprise you by how well
it can stream to large numbers of people.

Does Failure Truly Exist?
From:
Mike Stokes
Baton Rouge, LA
This thought brought me up from a nap!
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
(From Soar With Your Strengths)
Does failure truly exist?
Or, is it simply an inaccurate matchup
of expectations and strengths?
Could it be that people
are not successes or failures
but merely individuals
in the right or wrong
expectation environment?
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Could this be WHY
you have not had the SUCCESS
that you should have had by now?
Simply because you are not
matching up the right ingredients
of product, market and skill level?
Maybe, just maybe,
it's TIME that YOU
connect with someone
that knows the ropes
in this game...
I can help...
Been there,
done that,
got the t-shirt.
In fact,
I don't just have the t-shirt,
I SELL the t-shirt.
