Why MLM = Most Lose Money but it doesn't have to be that way

There are 2 main reasons that the majority of people that join MLM don't make money.

That which can be measured can be improved. 
Most MLM newbies can't.measure the results of their activity and they can't improve. What's worse is that their upline can't offer suggestions because they haven't got a clue how to measure and drive traffic to their website. Another problem is that the opportunity website is often complicated. A promotional website must focus on one thing otherwise people get lost.

Here's where team of amazing people come in.
We show people how to make a simple lead capture website based on a powerful system. They can measure and test improvements.

It doesn't matter what business they have.

Introducing the 90 day dare. I dare you! Will you accept?

A 90 day dare is where a friend issues you a challenge.

If you accept, then over the next 90 days you will be doing something different.
You will be changing one thing in your life and acting differently to achieve your goal.

Why 90 days? After doing anything daily for 90 days it will turn into habit.

What's better? Social Media or Cold Calling when it comes to business building

As I had a quiet morning, I thought I would have a look at traditional businesses and flicked through the yellow pages and thomson local directory just to see how web savvy the businesses are.

I devised a scale indicating a business' comittment to communication with their customers.

Level 1: they have a phone number
Level 2: they have more than a basic ad
Level 3: they have a website
Level 4: they display their email address
Level 5: they display a twitter account
Level 6: they display their facebook page


Level 1-4 is all about having the immediacy - potential customers can contact you when they need the goods or services you provide.

Approx 1% display an email address.
None had a twitter of facebook page displayed. This shows a real lack of awareness of potential from social media.

Here's why having a social media page / twitter account in addition is superior.

Third party credibility and recommendation. Facebook and twitter are not owned by the business, they are independent. As a result other people can post comments on the page. This shows that the business is willing to accept feedback.

Engagement. If a person sees a facebook and twitter ID, then there is a good chance that they are showing willing to communicate with their potential customers on a regular basis. In otherwords having a regular engagement or relationship with their audience. This is positive and beneficial to the business because they also have the benefit of word of mouth.

Leverage. There is only so much effort you can place in building your business, so using the internet and other people (fans) to share the load is a bonus. Facebook and Twitter have features that allow you to access on a regular basis many more people.

The only disadvantage of Facebook and Twitter is that it is not so long lasting, so coupled with a blog, your social media presence can have longevity. Someone who follows your social media post back to a blog post will also be able to see your progression.

p.s. what does this article have to do with cold calling? Cold calling is a very singular event. In 99% of cases is just a fleeting moment. Social media allows you to draw a customer in to your business and by connecting in a 'warm' way, when your potential customer is ready, they will buy from you.

5 new learnings from a power packed weekend

Sue and I usually invest in our personal development on a daily basis by reading, listening to audio books and sharing with each other and our blogs.

From a team perspective when new team members join our "Team Of Amazing People" we always have a powerful arsenal of tools, resources and strategies to assist.

But there are times when a leader emerges and that's when and why we travel every 6 months to our mastermind group meeting.

We bring a small group of ambitious people with us.

So far we have been to.

Orlando x 2
London x 12
Paris, France
Warsaw, Poland
Lisbon, Portugal

Next stop Moscow, Russia.
(looking for 3 people to travel with us for that personal development event)

So what we're the top 5 learnings of the Lisbon event. I make notes and took audio recordings so I could playback in the car.

The key notes were.

1. Stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself..
"you are awesome"  multi millionaire Todd Hartog

2. Rephrase what you say. Rather than saying "I can't do that", ask yourself or your mentors "how can I achieve that?"

3. Ask of yourself and others, "where do you want to get to? How good do you want to be?" Don't assume anything. This way you can help others achieve exactly what they want.
Henry Marsh 4 times Olympian.

4. Think of an egg. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If an egg is broken from the inside then life begins.

Great things happen from the inside.
Piotr, multi millionaire.

5. Put your family and relationships before your business and job.

Ok so there's a quick summary. Sue and I have developed a business model that can be used by people wishing to develop their lives personally financially and physically. Allowing people to gain a second income while preserving their family values.

It all starts with downloading our ebook and  getting to know us. We'd love to help you!

Plan and blog from anywhere

So here I am on the plane to Lisbon for what is going to be an amazing convention.

How do I know it will be amazing?
Because I have decided, but also it will be a time to connect with friends old and new from around the world. Some I will be meeting for the first time.

The quality of the training will be great. Leaders will present their journeys and we will all share our experiences.

But most of all there will be a fantastic benefit for you. Whether you know me or not, as I sit here next to my wonderful wife Sue, I just know that the information we collect on this trip, we will be happy to share with you.

2 precious ways of keeping your savings intact

 

A couple of years ago, I met Robert Kiyosaki as part of his Rich Dad weekend. One person I wanted to see was Mike Maloney. Unfortunately Mike was not there at the weekend. Robert explained that Mike and him had fallen out over a couple of issues and Robert felt that Mike should not attend.

I believe the reason Mike was excluded from the event was that in contrast to the stock market education, Mike was going to show how currency was becoming less and less valuable so why use vehicles that use it for investment.

Mike's story is about discovering the value of Gold and Silver. I was looking for a way to invest in gold and silver and it took me a while to find the company I was happy with. Please watch the video and then click the link below to view information about bullion vault and do your research.

So far I have invested in Silver and Gold. It is free to set up an account and to track gold prices to see how they have done over the last 5, 10 years. Check out the link below..
