Step Back to Make Wise Business Decisions

The first 30 days of the year are behind us and although we should have been doing the following the latter half of 2008, there is still time to put together our business plan for 2009. You cannot afford to wait any longer, as your business year should be broken down into four cycles of three months each, and if you wait until the first cycle is over to re-evaluate where you are in terms of business, you will have lost 25% of your business profits.So with that, grab a pen and paper and jot down what your income goals were for 2008 and what your actual profit was and what actions you took to achieve them. If you did not reach your income goals the following evaluations are crucial to your success. (As a side note, if you did achieve your income goals - CONGRATULATIONS - but you still will want to take a look at the following steps, as you always want to improve on prior years and offer value to your customers/partners.)

1) Take a look at your primary company. How long have you been with them, if you are not making money how is the company doing as a whole? Do you believe in your products, could the product stand-alone, meaning would people purchase this product if there was not a business opportunity attached to it? Now is the time to make the decision on if you want to commit another year or move on to something else. Keep in mind, you don't want to jump from company to company, but just as in corporate America, a CEO is always a CEO regardless of what company he is with. So you will always be a network marketer, you just need to find the right fit for you. If you are committed to being a success choose wisely here and GO FOR IT!

2) Do you have multiple streams of income set up to finance your primary business? Such as affiliate programs, ebooks, marketing tools, etc. You can see some of the affiliate programs I have used and recommend right here at my blog on the right side.

3) Are you targeting the right market? Do you have different niche markets set up to target the right customers and business partners?

4) Are you using a company replicated website or do you have your own self-branded sites. This is crucial in marketing on the internet today, especially if you are advertising on GOOGLE as Google likes original content.

5) Do you have a system in place so that when a new business partner makes the decision to get started with you they can duplicate what you are doing and get into profit quickly? One that will teach them not only skillset and mindset, but equip them with tools to generate their own leads and create autoresponders.

As you can see that although the company you choose to represent is important, more important is that you have a system in place, that can teach you and others how to market, because you could have the best product in the world but without a system to share it with others, nobody would know about it.

What Blogging Can Do For Your Business!

I have had my blog up and running since 2007. I recently started a new blog about one of the products I market, but prior to that I would post some thoughts every now and again, but didn't really know how to use blogging to build my business and generate leads.

Well since becoming involved in the 180daystogreatness program, one of the skills we have honed over the past six weeks, is blogging and why to blog.

I have learned that blogging is a great tool to have in your arsenal as well as other internet marketing tools like making and posting videos on youtube. Whatever viral method you are using to generate mlm leads, it is good for your business only if you know how to get your information at the top of the search engines. Learning how to make money blogging, is not a quick answer to your finances, but what it will do is build your credibility as a leader, someone that knows what they are doing and can show others how to make money with blog marketing. It shows those looking for the right leader and the right home business, that you are in this for the long haul. Consistency is key in any successful business and consistency in blogging is essential.

Online marketing is a steady way to attract customers, business builders and other online marketers who you can work with and share information.

Life and business is all about continued learning, If you would like to learn more about the different ways we are marketing online and offline, visit our website to get the scoop. You can also check out some of my videos and my blogs and my social sites, as well as here to get some great marketing tools. Feel free to follow or join any of them. I would love to hear from you and get your feedback.

Until next time, happy blogging......

BRING IT ON!

Well, this is a very personal blog for me. I believe Mahatma Ghandi said "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." So here is to winning, as I and the others in this programgo through these steps. Bring it on!

In working with the 180daystogreatness program, I have learned so much. I have learned about myself and what I am capable of. I have learned new skills on the internet to generate my own leads. I have learned to write articles. I have learned how to teach others to do the same. I have learned how to overcome rejection. I have learned how to believe in my product. I have learned how to believe in myself. I have learned how to set goals and work to accomplish them. I have learned how to work closely with others. And I have learned that when you move away from the status quo, there will be friction. I just didn't realize how personal it could be.

I knew 180daystogreatness, which was created by our Coach Nadira Haniff, was something unlike anything else out there. Nothing like it has ever been created, there may be some trying to duplicate it, but there will only be one original 180daystogreatness. This is the program that is making all the other so called "gurus" out there get a little scared. And contrary to what those so called "gurus" teach us, they are not embracing change, they are letting their egos get in the way, and they are throwing stones.

I will be the first to say that there are a lot of great programs, cds, training calls available where the average network marketer can learn some exceptional skills. Afterall, that is where I learned most of mine. The only problem is, I wasn't making the money I came to this industry to make, and each program was missing something. All the puzzle pieces did not fall into place.

So what Nadira Haniff created was a place to learn not only skillset, but mindset - which includes truly letting your ego go - and the program offers live personal coaching, so that those that are truly hungry to succeed, but just could not find the ongoing support, could feel at home here. Not judged, just held accountable. All the pieces to the puzzle, FINALLY, in one place.

What this program is, is a one-stop shop, to gain all the knowledge and skills to succeed, so of course there is going to be friction and stone throwing from the other top leaders and income earners in this industry. They feel we are taking money out of their pockets, rather than taking a closer look, asking direct questions and embracing the change that is taking place as I write this article.

The Winds of Change are Upon Us, are you ready to move with the Wind rather than struggle against it? Now is the time to take a closer look at where your business is and where you want it to be, and if what you have been taught isn't working, well, come be a part of history in the making......

Here's to not just to seeing you at the top, but running along beside you, holding your hand, picking you up when you fall, and getting to the top with you.......

180DAYSTOGREATNESS UPDATE

Wanted to give an update on our 180daystogreatness program. If you remember, 180daystogreatness is a program developed by Nadira Haniff, where mindset and skillset are brought together to create an explosion in your business. It doesn’t have to be a network marketing business, I believe it would work in traditional business as well.

Anyway, we started out with 25 people including Coach Nadira. And the concept is that we all come to the table with certain skills we can share with the group and we are also prepared, very prepared to learn the new skills necessary to earn a six figure income plus (depending on where you are starting) within 180 days. If we do not step up our game and participate and do the activities necessary we can be voted off. Kind of like survivor, internet style.

Everything has happened so fast, I don’t know when the first person was voted off, who was next, or who left because the demand and commitment were more than they were willing to do. But just 27 days into this journey we are down to 16 individuals. That’s nine people out of the game, and we aren’t even half-way through.

I don’t know about the rest of the group, but my first 27 days in this program has definitely yielded some new skills, some new business partners, some new retail sales and a great deal of confidence. No not ego, but confidence in my skills as a business person, a teamplayer and a leader.

So if you haven’t yet taken a look at our 180daystogreatness program, you might want to take a look just to see what it is about and if it is something you could use to move forward in whatever is holding you back in your business. Is it finding new customers, is it leadership skills, is it advertising, is it finding the right business partners?

Check us out and let us know. We would love to hear your comments and feedback. Who knows maybe we could get a voting system in place where those of you in our community have a say so on who stays and who goes. Yikes, what am I thinking.

To your success,

Change We Need!

Change we need: This is the slogan for the Obama/Biden campaign. I was watching some of the coverage, and Biden’s speech stayed in my head, after listening to many speeches and when I awoke this morning I realized why. Change we need can be used in any instance. I will use it as it pertains to the network marketing industry.

Change we need in the way the network marketing industry is viewed. We as network marketers are the ones that are able to educate the masses that network marketing is indeed a viable tool to financial freedom, that network marketing is a professional industry, that network marketing levels the playing field so that anyone with the correct mindset and skillset can achieve great things, not only in the area of their finances, but also in the areas of personal development, self confidence, and marketing strategies.

Biden also said, he remembers his dad would say to him “Champ, when you fall down, you must stand up”. We must stand up and be heard, we must stand up for what we believe in, we must stand up for the industry that has a given so many people a second chance, be it a way to keep their homes in these hard economic times, or supplemental income so they don’t have to go out and get a part time job. We need to stand up and say, don’t rely on our government, rely on yourself. Change we all need, but change is good, if you are not changing you are dying.

So what will you change? Will you continue to rely on our government, our government who has their own agenda, or will you rely on your own resources and your own commitment to move forward in all areas of your life so it doesn’t really matter what the government does, you will excel.

Money may not be everything, but it sure gives your more options.

Network Marketing 101 Part III

Wow, I can’t believe we are at part three in our three part series on network marketing.

We have already discussed, researching for the right home business, choosing the right home business for you, and now we are going to learn about learning the skills necessary to become successful in your own home business.

Once you have done your research and you’ve chosen the company, now it is time to learn what those that have come before you, have learned. To shorten that learning curve, so that you can start making money quickly in network marketing, you are going to want to pay attention to your sponsor/leader, but you also want to do your own research online.

I know, it certainly seems like a lot of research to do, but it is almost like going to back to school or getting a new job. It takes time to learn the skills necessary. This is in fact a skills industry. So if you make yourself the promise to be here one year from today, I assure you, you are on the road to being a success in this industry.

Again, there are many variables in learning the skills necessary, but the most important is to pay attention and stay plugged into the team. What I mean by that is to attend live conference calls, attend local events, attend on as many training calls as you can, especially in the first 60 to 90 days. Don’t be afraid to call your sponsor to ask questions; especially if you are new to the industry,.

Don’t let attendance at the above events be your only guide. Good leaders will work very closely with you to see that you learn the skills necessary and know how to apply them properly. You will find your own flow as well and what works best for you and what doesn’t.

If you have specific questions, don’t hesitate to contact me direct. To learn more about what I am doing, visit any of the sites below.

Network Marketing 101 Part II

Well congratulations for sticking with me this far. That tells me that you are serious about finding the right company and getting started in your own home business, and potentially changing your life forever.

Touching on the three key ingredients needed they are: researching the different companies out there, making the right decision on which company is for you and last but not least learning the skills necessary to succeed.

In our last article we talked about researching all the different companies, today we are going to discuss choosing the right company for you.

How do you know if the company is right for you? First do your research. Find out how old the company is. What is the sales revenue? What are other people in the industry saying about this company? There will be a number of signs if this company is for you. The company will have intelligent and knowledgeable people in charge. They will have a product (preferably consumable) that you can stand behind and that you are passionate about sharing with others. There will be compensation plan that fits you and your goals. Then you need to find a leader within that organization that you can work with. You are in fact, going to become business partners with that person.

How do you get behind a product: You purchase the product and try it. How do you get passionate about it? You believe that the product, regardless of what it is, can truly help others. How do you find a leader that you can work with? Do some research on the internet; if you came upon someone’s website, Google their name and see how much they actually know about the industry and their company. If they haven’t yet contacted you, give them a call. You want to find a leader that will teach you the skills necessary to succeed.

There are other variables involved in choosing the right company for you, but I believe these are the three most important aspects.

Until the next issue, feel free to visit any of the sites below. And best to you on your search.

Researching home businesses

Well we ended our last story wondering how in today’s world someone, anyone, could research a home business, make the right decision of which home business to choose, and then most important learn the skills necessary to become a success working from home.

Before we get started on these we have to go back one step. Because really the first thing one needs to do is make the decision that a home business is what they want to do, not just a thought they are kicking around in their head, but a solid, YES, I want to work from home. For whatever reason, to spend more time with the kids, to pay off some bills, to buy a new car or a house. There a dozen or more reasons to get started, but your reason has to be strong, otherwise in all honesty, you probably won’t make it.

And here’s why, because in home business you are responsible for your success, not your upline, not the company, not your spouse, or your kids, or your parents and most certainly not the President of the United States (believe me, I have heard this one before). You will have to be responsible, disciplined, and self motivated.

But that is getting ahead of ourselves, check back later to learn about choosing the right company, or click on over to the sites below to see how our 180daystogreatness experiment is coming along and what he have learned from our Coach, Nadira Haniff, to date, or to see what company I made the decision to work with.
