Organo Gold is just another pyramid scheme, isn't it?

Do you ever find yourself in a position of constantly defending Network Marketing every time some uneducated prospect, friend or relative says, "Oh, that's just a pyramid scheme."  The first step is to understand that there is no need to get offended or become defensive when you hear this.  You'll hear it a lot (I do), but that statement usually arises out of ignorance more than anything else.  As a professional in this business, part of your job is to help educate your prospects about our amazing industry. So let's start by making sure that YOU understand the difference between Network Marketing and the proverbial "pyramid scheme".

A pyramid scheme is really nothing more than an illegal money game. People are simply recruited to invest money based on the promise that the money they invest will somehow flow back to them. Typically, there is no real product or service involved. It's really just a matter of money changing hands and the people that get rich do so based on other people in the program losing money.

But that's not what Network Marketing is.

That's because Network Marketing is a legitimate method of providing people with real products and/or services that they need or want and would pay for regardless of any income opportunity.  The simplest question that I like to ask is, "If there was zero 'money-opportunity' involved, would the product or service be something people would buy anyway?" In other words, if someone paid for the product or service, would they believe they have received a fair or equitable exchange in value?  The fact that I have retail customers for boxes of Organo Gold coffee answers that question.  Companies use Network Marketing as a distribution model because it can be quite cost-effective. Let's compare a traditional distribution model with a  Network Marketing distribution model.

We'll use a movie theater as an example:

Movie Theater 'A' pays for newspaper ads, magazine ads, radio ads, etc., in order to attract customers. They have to spend the money up-front in hopes of generating a solid return on their advertising dollars.  Movie Theater 'B' offers to sell the same movie tickets to you at a discount. Instead of paying $10 per ticket, you buy the tickets at $5 each and can then sell them to your friends, family, and peers for $10. The $5 difference is yours to keep. This is an example of retail sales in Network Marketing. You buy the tickets at wholesale ($5) and then sell them at retail ($10) to your "Network".

Most of your friends, family, and peers may be happy to just be able to buy movie tickets from you. They'll be your customers over and over again.

But Movie Theater 'B' recognizes that you can only sell a limited number of tickets personally so they say to you, "Tell some of your friends about this deal. They can buy tickets at wholesale and sell them at retail just like you're doing now. Each time your friends buy their tickets at wholesale, we'll pay you a 50 cent commission."  Now you can earn money by selling tickets directly to movie-goers AND you can earn additional commissions on anyone else you refer that wants to do what you're doing!

This example is, of course, over-simplified but should give you the basic idea of what Network Marketing is. The people buying the product (in this case, movie tickets) are getting an actual product in exchange for their money. They are customers and many of them are going to buy tickets without any consideration of possible income.  But some of them are going to recognize an opportunity for them to earn, by doing what you're doing. In the process, because you referred them to the Movie Theater, you get a share of those revenues, as well.

Depending upon the products, services, and the pay plan, the details will vary from one company to the next, but the opportunity to build significant wealth (via the Network Marketing model) is a definite possibility for those business-minded people willing to put in the work required to succeed.

Movie Theater 'B' gets a great deal because they now have a sales force of motivated entrepreneurs working to distribute their product (movie tickets) and they don't have to spend thousands of dollars in advance on expensive advertising that may or may not generate the sales they need.They are also able to more accurately project and control the cost of customer acquisition which can absolutely help stabilize their business model.

So, as you consider starting your own Organo Gold coffee business, consider what is actually being offered in exchange for your hard earned money.  Since coffee is a product that people would buy normally, you are looking at a potentially lucrative opportunity for yourself and others... and not a 'pyramid scheme'.

The New Economy vs. the Organo Gold movement

America is in decline.  Economically, spiritually and morally.  Many other western nations are suffering a similar fate in the 21st century.  Even worse, our government schools are largely failing to properly prepare students for the challenges that they will face as adults.  Many who graduate high school cannot even read their diplomas.  As a result, an ever-increasing percentage of the population is relying on government handouts for everyday survival.  They're calling this 'The New Economy'.

Why is this?  It's because, in the 21st century, you no longer earn a living with your back.  You earn it with your mind.  For many adults, this reveals the need for an accelerated course in learning!  What about you?  Do you consider yourself a life-long learner or someone who has already learned everything they need to know?  It’s an important question.
_________________________________________________________________________________

“In times of change, learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” - Eric Hoffer
_________________________________________________________________________________

The economy has changed, folks.  Food and fuel prices are high, and taxes just keep going up. The traditional job is no longer sufficient for buying a proper home and raising a family - if such jobs are available at all.  It's pretty grim.  Retirement accounts are being drained dry as people raid them to survive. Savings accounts are a complete and utter joke because what you earn from that is less than inflation! If you had money in an IRA or 401(k), chances are you have already learned this the hard way.  And Social Security?  Does anyone actually believe that system is going to survive?  Politicians have spent all the money buying votes and there will soon come a day when those government checks just stop coming.

America has changed because the world has changed.  For example, foreign factories, the Internet and robotics have transformed everything from manufacturing, to retail and agriculture. Vast numbers of jobs that any high school graduate could do have been wiped out forever. Even institutions like the US Post Office and the Armed Forces are downsizing.

The good old days of “Go to school, get good grades so you can get in to college, get a degree, and land a career you can retire from in 40 years” are over!  Unless your goal is to rely on your family or the government for your retirement  (good luck!), it’s time to realize that 'the New Economy' demands some new learning - learning about how to create monthly cash flows large enough to support you and your family, in spite of what is going on in your city, state or country.

It's because of this that Network Marketing has truly entered the main stream, and half the top-earners in the world are part of Organo Gold. Quite a few publicly traded companies are utilizing the Network Marketing model to get their products and services out to the marketplace, including Donald Trump.  Why? It just makes sense, that's why!  Imagine that you are a business owner. You’ve got to make some decisions about how you are going to get your products out there for consumers.  One option would be to pay a popular celebrity (most likely costing you millions of dollars) to endorse and promote your products.  Another option is to launch incredibly expensive marketing campaigns utilizing TV, print and Internet media - and hope that you reach your market and they want to buy from you.  Another option is to reach out to people with influence and have them simply ask their circle of friends to try the products for themselves.

That last option is faster, MUCH less expensive, more efficient, and quickly capitalizes on the power of social networking. (Friends who refer their friends).  So how do you create monthly cash flow with the Organo Gold distribution model?  When you become a distributor for Organo Gold coffee, you enter into an agreement to refer customers to them. When those customers buy, the company pays you a commission based on the sales volume generated by your referrals.  You can get paid every time those customers order and re-order.  Better yet, you also get paid when their referrals order and re-order.

Like a songwriter who writes a hit song, you can get paid over and over and over again for work you did once a long time ago.  And if you are a strong leader/communicator, you can also build a team of others like yourself that want to refer customers.  Essentially, you can build a network of product distributors and customers that extends worldwide.  When you do it right, you can build a powerful business that continues to pay you month after month, year after year, even while you’re on vacation.

Common objections usually include accusations of Network Marketing being some sort of “pyramid scheme”. Wake up!  Find a business that doesn’t have a corporate structure shaped like a pyramid.  Naysayers will say, “But everybody at the bottom is working so that money flows to the people at the top!”  Doesn’t your traditional job work the same way?  The CEO is getting paid based on the work being done by everyone below them in the organizational chart.  What about your church?  Doesn’t your church work the same way? All that money you donate every Sunday morning is flowing up the structure to cover salaries, missions work, etc…

Your bank works the same way. That money that you deposit (the money you worked for) is being used to cover fees that go to pay the salaries of the bank tellers, managers, vice presidents, etc… and the bank is loaning out YOUR money at a much higher interest rate than they are paying you.  That's why banks have the tallest buildings in town!  Let that sink in.  You work for your money.  You deposit your money at the bank.  They loan your money out and charge a LOT more than they are paying you for the privilege.

The word “pyramid” gets thrown around a lot like nobody had ever heard of it or used that structure before Amway. It happens in businesses, schools, churches, banks, governments, clubs, sports teams, etc… all over the world.  The learners are discovering that ignorance is very expensive.  They are learning that the wealthy have known that using leverage through what is shaped like a pyramid is a powerful tool for creating wealth.  They are learning that the wealthy may have actually been the ones telling them “pyramids are bad” while capitalizing on the power of the pyramid all along.  Meanwhile, the naysayers keep repeating the same old mantra AND getting the same old results.

The world has changed. Let go of the outdated ways of thinking.  The rich do keep getting richer.  The poor do keep getting poorer.  Why? It's because they both keep doing the things that put them there!  What about you?  Will you learn new ways of thinking and doing in order to change your situation or will you hold on to the ways you’ve already learned that aren’t getting it done?

Is Organo Gold a 'pyramid scheme'?

Network Marketing is a legitimate, sustainable, and explosive business model. You might as well get over it. Are you still stuck in the limited thinking that uses phrases like:

“That sounds like a pyramid scheme”.
“That sounds like a scam.”
“That’s a pyramid”.

Listen… I don’t want to insult anyone here but it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Life and business are changing. Network Marketing is a bona-fide business strategy being used by companies we are all familiar with. The simplest way I know to explain the overall concept of network marketing is like this: You simply refer your friends and people you know to a product or service. We all do this all the time. Most of us are just doing it for free. It’s time for you to get paid.

Here’s an example of you doing network marketing for free: Imagine you went to a movie you really enjoyed. The next day, you are telling your co-workers about the movie. Based on your excitement and recommendation, your co-workers decide to go see the movie. They take some other friends. Did the movie theater, actors, producers, etc… share any of that revenue with you? They all got paid! Your friends and co-workers went because YOU recommended it. Doesn’t it just make sense to you that they should share some of the profits with you? YOU are why they made the money when your friends bought tickets and snacks!

We all do it. We recommend restaurants, movies, books, clothing, music, etc… and we do it for free. Every time we refer someone, those companies make money. And they WANT you to keep referring your friends to them. These companies call it “word of mouth” or “referral marketing”. You are simply spreading the word about a service or product through your network of friends and associates.

Here’s another concept: Every time you buy a t-shirt that has some product logo on it, such as a soft drink company, a band name, etc… YOU PAID THAT COMPANY TO BECOME A WALKING BILLBOARD FOR THEM! And when the billboard works, and that company makes more money because YOU PAID TO ADVERTISE FOR THEM, they don’t even send you a thank-you card. Have you ever bought a Starbucks card as a gift? Nothing wrong with it but look at it from the perspective of the company: YOU paid FULL RETAIL (in advance) and then gave that card away to a friend. As far as you’re concerned, you just did something nice. As far as Starbucks is concerned, they just got you to pay full retail for their product. You will refer customers to them by giving away the card as a gift. They will not share a single penny of those sales revenues with you.

YOU JUST PAID STARBUCKS TO BRING THEM MORE CUSTOMERS!

But some companies are catching on and they are starting to offer to share the revenues when you refer people from your network of friends and associates. Another way to say that would be: “network marketing”. (Get it, yet?)

Here are a few examples:

DISH Network has a Customer Referral Program. When you refer a friend, they will take $5 a month off of your bill and give you free movies.

Marriott offers a Referral Program. Refer friends and earn “points”.

Vonage has a Referral Program. They will give you a free month of service when you refer a friend to their service.

Car Dealerships use Referral Marketing. When you bought your last car, did the car salesman tell you they would give you a $50 or $100 pre-paid card any time you refer a new customer to them?

Real Estate Agents offer you a “finders fee” or “bird dog” fee if you refer someone to them that buys a home.

It’s really just good business! These companies know that you have friends that will listen to you. They know that if you recommend their product or service, they will get paid. They also know that you are more likely to make that referral if you get a reward in the form of a commission, discount, etc…

Some referral programs are very simple. Some referral programs are more involved. But the basic idea is always the same: Refer more customers and get rewarded. In my case, I get paid to refer people to a healthier coffee. I give away samples of the coffee to coffee drinkers. When they like it, I show them how to order more. I get paid every time they do.

Sometimes, those coffee drinkers recognize that there is an opportunity for them to get involved and do the same thing. The idea of getting paid to give away free samples of coffee to coffee drinkers (they’re addicts) just makes sense, right?

So, in addition to referring new customers to my particular coffee company, I am also able to show people how to set up their own home-based coffee business. Because I got that referral, the company will now reward me with a percentage of sales from that coffee business I helped set up.

Look … it just makes sense to me. People are going to keep drinking coffee, no matter what you or I do. Network marketing simply allows you to insert yourself in to the cash flow steam by making referrals.

You’re already doing it anyway. Why not start getting paid for it?

Network Marketing with Organo Gold

Coffee is the second most consumed beverage on the planet, after water!  It's the second most traded commodity after oil.  People drink coffee all day, every day, in almost every country around the world. 

Suppose you’ve been invited to join a company that earns billions world-wide, helps you earn residual income, and has an assured client base.  Would you jump at the chance? If so, then Organo Gold is just what you’ve been looking for. Organo Gold is part of one of the largest businesses on earth: coffee.  Americans can’t live without it! You only need to think of a typical Monday in Starbucks and McCafe to see that you simply can’t go wrong with coffee.

But since coffee is so common, what sets Organo Gold products apart?  Its flagship product is made from high-grade coffee beans and a special added ingredient: Ganoderma Lucidum. This red mushroom is also known as Reishi in Japan or Ling Tzi in China, and is called the “King of Herbs” for its seemingly miraculous health benefits. People drink coffee to keep themselves active, but Ganoderma helps even more by providing more energy, detoxifying the body, improve the immune system, provide oxygen to the body, and so much more. So even as you’re enjoying this great-tasting product, you’ll also be enjoying its many health benefits. You don’t have to take our word for it, though; you can find all you need to know about Ganoderma online.  By the way, this infused herb is odorless and tasteless and Organo Gold owns the patent on making it that way! 

Suppose you’re not exactly a coffee lover, or know only a few people who are. There’s still good news: Organo Gold doesn’t just distribute coffee. Other products include grapeseed oil extract, gourmet hot chocolate, lattes, green tea, Ganoderma capsules and much more. In short, there’s something for everyone.  As a member of Organo Gold, you’ll be buying great coffee at a cheaper price than you normally would at the market. There’s more to it, however, because being a member entitles you to Organo Gold’s compensation plan. This basically lets you earn not just from the products you sell, but from the people you invite to join your organization.  There are seven(7) ways to earn with Organo Gold.  In fact, there's even an eighth means of compensation - the Benz Club.  When the sales volume of your organization grows enough, the company gives you a monthly car allowance to be used at any Mercedes automobile dealership in your area.

Of course, like any business, you're going to need to access our training & marketing tools in order to successfully build your Organo Gold business. Organo Gold has some awesome tools and proven business-building strategies that you will be provided with when you join our team.  All you need is an open mind, the desire to earn money and the readiness to get started and go to work.

All of the Organo Gold products are 100% organic. The company remains committed to this concept. The Asian mushroom which is thought to have healing powers, is the root of Organo Gold's trademark product, Ganoderma Lucidum. Traditional Chinese medicine has used it for many years. Of its long list of benefits, Ganoderma is supposed to enhance immunity and boost energy. The mushroom boosts antioxidants in a way that normal coffee, tea, or other supplements can't. Organo Gold has already established itself as the world's foremost distributor of botanicals, which are in all the company's organic products. Organo Gold has pledged to keep their products 100% organic, which gives them a distinct advantage. They have a wide variety of products in which to deliver Ganoderma Lucidum: capsule form, black coffee, coffee latte, green tea, hot chocolate, Ganoderma spore powder and skin care. The company promises to develop and release additional Ganoderma Lucidum products in the future.

The concept of using Ganoderma to produce drinks and skin care products together was innovative, but has proven to be a big success.  Organo Gold is certainly an ideal marketing opportunity. Most people drink coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and nearly all people use some type of skin care. By offering a gourmet or specialized product infused with a health-enhancing organic substance, the company has a great idea. As a recent startup (founded in 2008), the company does not have any debt and the top-earners are receiving Six Figures monthly - that's right, over $100,000 a month.  In fact, at the time of this writing, Organo Gold has already created 26 millionaires!  Of the Top-10 earners in network marketing today, half - HALF - are in Organo Gold!

The company also has motivational coaches and a professional team of trainers to help you in every possible way. The compensation plan is comprehensive and generous, including daily payout of retail sales and a variety of bonus plans, such as leadership bonuses and matching bonuses. In the MLM world, there is no lack of opportunities to make money. From clothing to power drinks, companies recognize the need for network marketing partners to really grow the business. However, there is a big difference between having an opportunity and actually earning real money from it. Using our proven step-by-step methods for business growth with Organo Gold, you cannot fail if you are teachable and coachable. If you want your business to really grow, you need only to plug-in to our system, follow instructions and do the work.  It's really not that hard.

"It's easy, it's simple, it's coffee."

Working from home is easy with Organo Gold coffee

You’re reading this page right now because you’re interested in the possibility of taking your life back with a home based business.  That's good!

Chances are, you’ve seen and maybe even tried a lot of things and most of them probably didn’t pan out like you had hoped they would. Believe me … you’re not alone. And don’t feel bad about it. You had the courage to take a shot and that puts you ahead of a lot of people in my book, already!  You know that it’s possible to make money from home, because you keep hearing and reading about people running a home-based business or making money online.  Chances are, you’ve even met somebody who’s making money this way and you keep thinking, “Man, I need to figure out how to do that!” But it just hasn’t panned out for you yet, right?  Here's a hint:  They know something that you don't know.

So... What Does It Actually Take To Make Money From Home?

If you’re going to be successful with a home-based business, you need to be offering a product that:

1. People can’t wait to buy.
   (If you have to ‘convince’ people to try it … they don’t really want it!)
2. People use or consume over and over again.
   (Get those re-orders happening! This is where the real money comes from)
3. Is something ANYBODY can understand.
   (Does anybody really understand a bunch of techno-jargon?)
4. Is Affordable!
5. Is REAL; not some “fad” or “flash in the pan” goofiness.
6. Is something that can actually HELP people.
7. Has a big enough market that you can sell it for a very long time.
8. Is something you can feel good about, personally, because you KNOW it can actually change lives.

So let’s look at why I think Coffee and MLM are the perfect combination:

1. Millions Upon Millions of people can’t start their day without our product!
   Have you ever got in the way of a coffee drinker trying to get to their first cup in the morning?!?
2. Millions Upon Millions of people are ADDICTED to Our Product.
   More than 500,000,000 cups of coffee are consumed DAILY in North America Alone!
   Reorders are virtually guaranteed!
3. How hard is it to explain coffee to a coffee drinker?
4. Our team enjoys outstanding wholesale pricing on delicious gourmet coffee, latte, mocha, hot chocolate, and green tea!
5. Coffee has not only been around “forever” but the coffee market is growing by 20% annually in the USA.
6. Our company has actually found a way to infuse 100% Certified Organic Ganoderma into every cup. You can’t see it, taste it, or smell it. You just get the benefits of this amazing herb in a delicious cup of coffee. (Search Google for “Ganoderma” and you will be amazed at what you find!)
7. The market for coffee is absolutely MASSIVE and grows daily!
8. I truly enjoy knowing that I can offer coffee drinkers a delicious healthy cup of coffee AND help them build financial freedom by sharing this coffee and our system with others. Yeah … I feel really good about this product and opportunity! So much so that I referred my own family members and gladly share it with my friends.
9. MLM is where the money is!

By now, you’re probably thinking, “Yeah. This makes sense. But can I really do this?"

That’s a great question. Chances are, you invite people out to coffee or share a cup of coffee with friends, already. Now you can share THIS coffee with them.  But we go way beyond that with our system. You either saw my post on facebook, twitter, or saw one of my ads. That’s how you came to be on this page, now.

How to sell your MLM opportunity

First of all, 'MLM' (aka Network Marketing) isn't a dirty word.  But like used car dealerships, the concept has aquired sort of a bad reputation over the past few decades.  That's completely unfair, but it's just the way it is.  So when you are selling your MLM opportunity to someone new, here are a few fundametals of selling to keep in mind.  Remember them, and you'll do just fine:

Listen closely: When you walk into a car lot (furniture store, clothing store, etc.) and the salesman approaches you, what is the very first thing he or she usually does?  Typically, it is to ask you some seemingly innocent questions.  You know, such as... "What is it that you're looking for?"  "How much do you want to spend?"  Maybe they'll engage in polite conversation about the weather or whatever.  But it’s not just small talk.  Experienced salespeople will listen closely to your answers, knowing that doing so will help them find your sweet spot.  Ironically, sales is not about talking someone into something, that never works.  Ever try 'selling' a kid on cleaning her room? 

Rather, it’s about finding out what they want or need and then showing them that what you have to offer satisfies that need or want. You find out what they need, and therefore what approach to take, by listening carefully.

Say as little as possible:  Let them do the talking.  Show some self-control and don't say much.  A lot of people will actually sell something and then unsell it by not knowing when to shut up!  When you are not talking, you are listening (see above).  With Organo Gold, for example, average people are trained to be 'sales people' by the use of a simple (and very short!) script.  That short script - i.e. 'the four questions' - has created 26 millionaires since 2008.  But it involves very little talking.

Don't try so hard: Overselling, making grand pronouncements, making exagerations, and not trusting your product or pitch enough to leave the customer alone for a while, makes you look 'needy'. No one likes needy people. It’s like that boyfriend or girlfriend you once had who just couldn’t leave you alone. You finally left them alone, right?  The reverse is true when you're trying to 'get' the girlfriend or boyfriend.  Trying too hard gets you nowhere.

The same is true in sales. When you look, act, or sound needy (or worse, desperate!), potential customers are turned off. Trust yourself and your product enough to not oversell, and know when to back off.  To bastardize a perfectly fine axiom: "When you love a customer, let him go. If he comes back, he’s yours, if he doesn’t, he never was yours in the first place."

Sometimes, you do need to push a little bit:  This is more art than science, and that's why practice makes perfect.  Whether it is helping the undecided to finally get off the fence, or explaining to a prospect why they need to act now, you have to know when a gentle push can make a difference. If your push has their best interest in mind (rather than yours) it won’t look like pushiness.

Ask for the sale: Similarly, there comes a time to ask for the sale, to get a prospect to commit. Again, at the right time and for the right reason, it should be more welcome than threatening.  It can be as simple as, "OK, here's how you get started."

Never rest on your laurels: There are three(3) types of customers: New customers, existing customers and customers who are leaving for whatever reason. Too often, when things are good, we fail to replenish the stock because the customers we have are plentiful and bountiful. But sooner or later, existing customers become exiting customers, and if you haven’t been prospecting and bringing in new ones, you will be in trouble.  You can't stop working.  You have to push yourself.  Again, to use Organo Gold as an example, with a binary sales organization system, people tend to think that if they 'just get two, they're done'.  Well that's a good start, for sure!  But you want to do a LOT more than that, and keep doing it.  That's how fortunes are created.  Doing the minimum is human nature, and that's why most people fail.

How to become an MLM superstar

How - actually HOW - do people become millionaires in network marketing (also known as MLM)?  They become leaders, that's how.  Don't get me wrong, you can achieve quit-your-job income in MLM without being a leader.  But you won't have the ocean-side mansion on the cliffs without becoming one.  Don't think that you're leadership material?  Wrong.  You actually are, or you wouldn't be reading this!  Displaying leadership and creating massive results in MLM really just comes down to a mindset and what you do on a daily basis.  It is what you do daily that matters the most. What follows are five(5) basic things that every MLM millionaire does on a daily basis - I guarantee it:

1.)  They visualize and meditate on their goals all day long.

It's the first thing they think about in the morning and the last thing on their minds at night.  Network Marketing leaders, and especially the top earners, take the time (preferably first thing in the morning) to visualize and meditate on their goals. They have a clear mental picture of the life that they are creating for themselves and others.  Remember:  'Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Get clear on your vision for the life that you are creating for yourself, because you bring about what you think about.  That's just a fact.

2.)  Income Producing Activities & Massive Action are their TOP priority.

Visualization without action is delusion.  You're just dreaming. You can visualize and affirm your perfect life, but concrete action is required to bring your visualization into your reality. The only time you are working your business is when you are taking action. The two things that will increase your income and produce results are marketing and talking on the phone.  Nothing else you do matters!  The time period in which you are actually working your business is when you are engaged in one of those two activities. Income-producing activities include placing ads, marketing and driving traffic to your website. Network marketing leaders and top earners do this daily. Yes, they even do it while traveling because it is FUN.  For them, it's not work.  It's simply focus.

By the way, the word “work” shouldn't even be in your vocabulary. When you can pick up your laptop, travel the world and operate your business, it's a blast!  Think about that. This is what network marketing leaders do daily. It is all about being consistent and persistent.

3.)  Superstars concentrate upon Personal Development:

“Work harder on yourself then you do on your business.” – Jim Rohn.  Network marketing leaders invest time in themselves on a daily basis. They block out time (even if it’s half an hour) to read books and listen to mindset cds. Top earners make use of 'NET' (no extra time) time. You have plenty of NET time that you can be using for listening to mindset cds - including driving your car, exercising, taking walks, cooking, running errands, etc. Use your time wisely.

You become what you think about all day long.  So think about that!  Your life is really nothing more than what you think about and what you do. Top earners are committed to feeding their minds with positive and productive information. They do not bombard their minds with CNN (constant negative news) and reading newspapers. Network marketing leaders are committed to their ultimate vision and focus on becoming what they think about.  Your income will be a direct reflection of the books you read, cds you listen to and the people you surround yourself with.

4.) Masterminding with Other Network Marketing Leaders helped make them successful.

I'm going to tell you something.  You can't do this alone.  You need to be interacting constantly (daily, is preferable.) with people who have already accomplished what you are striving to do.  It rubs off on you!  As I mentioned earlier, your income and lifestyle will be a direct reflection of your circle of friends. If you take the average income of your five closest friends, then you will generally come up with your annual income. That's just a fact, because 'like attracts like'. You become who you surround yourself with. Your thinking is also direct reflection of this, and (again) what you think about, you bring about.

Now, no one is telling you to get rid of your friends.  However, if you are committed to increasing your income, then you need some new ones, that's all.  To be an MLM superstar, you must commit to masterminding with network marketing leaders and top earners consistently.  It has got to be part of your lifestyle.  This is exactly what I have done with Organo Gold.  My sponsor is a world-famous MLM star and we trade emails and phone texts on a daily basis.  He's here in Houston with me.  I listen to his training calls every week.  I'm in his facebook group.  I attend his presentations.  HIS sponsor is one of the Top-10 earners - WORLD WIDE - in MLM, earning over $500,000.00 a MONTH with Organo Gold!!!  Those are the kind of friends you want to have in your life, because they will help you do what they did.  Do it, and you will become part of the famous 3%.  More on what that means in a minute.

Commit to being coached by a top earner/leader and surrounding yourself with the best.  Listen to what they say and do what they tell you. You will look back 12-24 months from now and be glad that you did, versus regretting that you didn’t. Take Action Now!

5. Superstars in the Top 3% set their priorities in the Reverse of the 97%.

Network marketing leaders and top income earners play big. If you are committed to having it all, then you either go big or you go home. Listen, yes the rewards of being a top 3% income earner are incredible.  The juice is definitely worth the squeeze!  However, it requires a commitment, a work ethic and being teachable & coachable. Do what your coach/leader says and recommends. Do not deviate from the game plan and 'do it your way'. The top 3% income earners and network marketing leaders follow a certain principle very closely. (Keep this posted on your home-office wall)

BE – DO – HAVE = (3% of Entrepreneurs/Leaders)

This means that top income earners focus on being the person that they visualize to be. Then they do the things that those network marketing leaders do. Then they have the exact results/lifestyle/income that they initially visualized.

Versus: HAVE – DO – BE = (97% of People that set goals operate this way)

The reason why 97% of people that set goals do not achieve them is because they THINK and approach their goals differently. They want to have the results first. Then (they imagine), when they have them, they will actually commit to taking action and playing big. Ultimately, they 'hope' that they will have the lifestyle of a top income earner and leader.

Of course this never happens, because waiting to step up your game and playing big until the results flow in will never happen.  If you are trapped with the 97% mindset, you will NOT get the results of a top income earner and leader.  97% want to wait to see if something works and then they will step up their game and commit to playing full out. You are either in all the way and operate like a 3% or you might as well throw in the towel now, because you will not see the results you came to this industry for.

Faith precedes the miracle. You have to conceive and believe it before it happens. You need to BE the leader first and take massive action to have the results.  Commit to living by the BE-DO-HAVE principle and doing the 5 things that network marketing leaders do daily. Your life will be transformed.

How to make MLM pay

Multi-Level Marketing (also called Network Marketing or MLM) is business of the 21st century for entrepreneurs around the world.  I know of no other way for the average person to create a successful business with very little money, and go on to become a huge success.  In fact, MLM has created many millionaires and continues to do so today!

Now I assume that because you're reading this, you've failed in the past or are struggling now.  But that's a good thing, because it means that you haven't given up on MLM and would like to try again.  However, to make this business-model work for you (i.e. to make it PAY!), you must do it correctly.  If you don't, you will give up in frustration and fail.  To be honest, that's what happens to most people.  The various reasons for this sad fact are one or more very common mistakes that most people make when they get into this business.  It doesn't matter what the company or product is, or even how much experience you have.  People still make the same mistakes.  To make MLM pay, you must avoid them!  That's really the true secret to success that everyone seems to be looking for.

So here are twenty one (21) ways (at least 21) in which people will sabotage their MLM businesses.  Read the list closely and see if any of it sounds familiar.
   
Why People Fail:
  
1)  This one is two-fold.  Some think that passive income means that you don't have to really do anything.  So they don't.  The flip-side to that coin are those who keep searching for the 'magic bullet' strategy that will do all the work for them, while ignoring the fundamentals.  So they give up in frustration.
  
2)  Another reason for failure with MLM is failing to commit to it.  Many people really, deep down, don't believe in what they're doing and treat it as a hobby - something they'll truly commit to 'once it starts working on it's own'.  But that's the problem.  It isn't going to work on it's own.
   
3)  Staying inside one's comfort zone is another big reason for failing.  If you desire big money, then you've got to be 'big'.  Approaching only friends and family isn't enough.  You have got to get out of your comfort zone when it comes to sampling your product and explaining your business with strangers that you meet for the first time.
  
4)  Too many people refuse to believe that this business is sales.  They don't want to do any 'selling'.  Well, nothing happens until something is sold.  In this business, you sell yourself (i.e. your confidence and belief) more than the products.  Offering someone a free coffee sample to try, because you believe in it, might be thought of as 'sharing', but trust me... it's sales action.
  
5)  Another big mistake is screening too many potential business-builders out.  Thinking that, 'They don't look smart enough', or 'I don't think they've got any money', or 'I don't think they'll do anything' are wrong ways to go about judging people.  You never know what people will do.  Remember this simple phrase:  "You never know..."
    
6)  Making excuses to cover up for your lack of action is a bad habit and it's a common cause of failure.  People will blame 'the economy', blame their upline, blame the company, blame the expenses, blame the costs of the products, and so on.  That's all based on a lack of faith and an unwillingness to be teachable and coachable - i.e. pride.
   
7)  A HUGE reason for failure is simply giving up too quickly.  So many people lose all their fire after only two weeks or so of 'working' their new business.  If they're not rich within 30 days, then they assure themselves that, "Obviously, this doesn't work."
    
8)  I've seen it many times.  People will become distributors in a company like Organo Gold but won't start sampling (or doing anything else) until they know every conceivable detail about the product ingredients, the marketing plan, the commission structure, and so on.  It's called 'the paralysis of analysis'.  It's a real business killer because you end up doing nothing and your initial enthusiasm simply fizzles away.
  
9)  Another big mistake (in fact, it's a classic one) is telling people about the business opportunity without focusing on the product.  In this industry, you must be a 'product of the product'.  If you don't use and enjoy it, how in the hell are you going to sell it?  Remember:  Nothing happens until something is sold.  If nobody is buying and using the product, no one gets paid!
   
10)  Some people get the idea that if they just buy enough product themselves and hold it, they'll somehow be recognized by the company, or their upline, as a star and this will benefit them in some way.  That's insane.  The product has got to move - either with sampling, retail sales or (ideally) both.
  
11)  This one should probably be #1 and be in all bold letters:  Failure to follow the proven system that your company teaches you and, instead, 'doing it your way', almost guarantees failure.  Using Organo Gold as an example, those who have already become millionaires speak of 'the four questions' and 'the four steps', over and over again, as the fundamental keys to success.  But guess what, people still won't do them.  It's the same cause of failure with any company.
  
12)  Counting 'busy work' as productive activity is a huge no-no.  Reading hundreds of emails, watching tons of marketing lectures on YouTube, studying the commission plan (over and over again) feels like productive activity... but it's not.  The days roll on by and then you begin wondering why nothing is happening.  It's because you aren't following the proven steps that you've been taught - or you're just putting off doing them 'until next week', while you do this other stuff first.  But 'next week' never comes, does it?
  
13)  Handing out samples is great!  But it's useless without getting firm follow-up plans and contact info.  Sheepishly handing out samples (with the hope that your phone will ring) will bankrupt you.  The samples cost money, for one thing!  And people will not call you back.  You have to call them.  That's right, you have to do it.
  
14)  You must treat this like a business.  That means getting organized.  When you go out sampling, dress the part.  Keep records of contacts, keep a clean work area in your home, turn off the damned TV and concentrate on your business.
  
15)  Giving up on a prospect when they say "No" is bad, bad, bad.  People say no for a lot of reasons, but situations change.  As people notice you doing better and better at your business, some will start thinking, "Hey, I'm missing out!"  Fear of loss is a powerful thing.  That's why it's important to remind people that you're still here, you're still doing this business and you're doing great!
  
16)  Forgetting (or refusing) to follow-up is terrible.  It's also a common cause of failure.  Too many just assume that their prospect will call them back if they're interested.  It doesn't work like that.  People generally won't do anything unless they're motivated by someone or something else!  They'll just sit there, even if they like your product and business plan.  You have to follow up and nudge them forward.
  
17)  Being too pushy can be a business killer.  People work on their own time-tables.  If you're calling somebody every single day and expecting them to march to your tune, don't be surprised when your referrals start tuning you out!  They'll stop listening.  Yes, you want to be a leader and a motivator.  But you don't want to run people off either.  Remember to strike a balance or you'll potentially un-do a lot of hard work.
  
18)  Being afraid of the telephone is just terrible.  I hear it all the time - "I don't want to have to talk to anybody."  Then get used to staying poor!  This is a people business.  Once you get used to using the phone, it becomes second nature.  But that won't happen if you're afraid of it.  The phone isn't a big, furry monster.  It's your friend... and it's your money machine.
  
19)  An almost universal failure is ignoring weekly training/conference calls, or regional events, presented by company leaders.  People think they 'know it all' already and can ignore these things, yet still wonder why their business isn't getting off the ground.  It happens all the time.
   
20)  Failure to appreciate and work with your upline (or even cross-line) is another mistake.  When all you have to do is learn from them, duplicate their methods and succeed like they have, why wouldn't you?  If you don't want to listen to successful people, you've severely handicapped yourself from the very beginning.
  
21)  Last but not least is the tragic pathology of 'program-jumping'.  MLM'ers are famous for moving like lemmings from one company to another when they see the 'next big thing' or at the first sign that their current business 'isn't working'.  The truth is that constantly tearing your business out by the roots and trying to replant it in fresh soil means that it will never grow.  It's a vicious cycle that guarantees failure.  Sure, if your company is truly a bad one, then leave it.  But that's a rarity these days.  Choose something and stay with it.

  
In summary:
  
To make MLM pay, have an open mind, swallow your pride and be teachable and coachable.  That's really all there is to it.  This business isn't easy, but it's simple if you let it be.  The key is that you have to actually DO it.  Don't wait until you find a 'better solution' or until you're an expert.  Just get active and start moving.  Otherwise, you'll wait your life away.

Be consistent and persistent.  Discipline your work ethic, and treat this as a business. A little effort consistently, every day, works a lot faster and stronger than bursts and lulls. Focus your activity on qualifying prospects, sorting them by priority and interests, and presenting your products and opportunity.
  
Work on your self-growth and self-talk. Learn and improve on whatever talents you need to improve upon.  USE the company training!  Everyone can learn and get better over time.
  
Lead with yourself, not the business or the product line. Use company tools and 3-way calls to edify your team and show that the process is easily duplicated.

How to succeed with MLM

Multi-Level Marketing (also known as Network Marketing or 'MLM') has been around a long time.  Sometimes it gets a bad reputation, though it's largely undeserved.  There are good and bad companies around the world of all types.  Take Enron for example.  And there's nothing inherently 'bad' about a multi-level sales force.  When you think about it, almost all businesses (and even non-business) organizations can be thought of as multi-level.  The Federal Government, the Army, the Catholic Church and, of course, any large corporation with layers, upon layers of management come to mind.

So, the very first thing you must do in order to succeed with MLM is to accept it as a legitimate business model, which it is.  If you don't have that understanding, then you're doomed from the beginning because you won't be proud of what you're doing.  You should be, because MLM truly is the business of the 21st century.  So, with that in mind, let's cover the basic principles of success with MLM.

You need a Target Audience for your product and your business plan.

When you are watching TV and see a commercial that really turns you off because of the music, the people in it, the imagery they choose to use, or even the advertised product itself, chances are that you aren't part of the target audience!  Advertising agencies always have a specific target audience in mind when they create ads for TV, radio or print.

So, the first thing you need to do is focus your mind on who would be attracted to your company's products and/or business plan - i.e. who you can reach with it.  Generally speaking, you want to find people with a problem that you can help solve.  That can be a health issue, for example, but it's usually a wealth issue.  Think about it, if you're selling a weight-loss product, skinny people aren't part of your target audience.  Pet care products can't be sold to those who don't like pets.  In other words, it's important to have a product that your target audience will actually use.  The larger that group, the better!

As for the business side of it, some of your target audience might like to buy your product from you (or wholesale, from the company itself) on a regular basis.  However, some of them might have little to no interest in the business angle.  But that's not a problem (sales are always good)  and some of those customers might buy enough to retail it themselves and then turn into business builders.  Others will have far more interest in the business side and care little about the actual product.  That's OK, but remember this:  Nothing happens until something is sold.  If people simply want to recruit other sales people, but not buy, use or sample out the product, then you really won't be earning anything.

You need a Plan and a System that anyone can do.

This is crucial.  By 'plan and 'system', I am referring to what you do - actually DO - on a regular basis in order to establish and grow your business.  You need to know what to do.  It needs to be simple and it needs to work.  Obviously, I believe that the Internet is vitally important.  However, people have earned fortunes in this industry long before there were personal computers or anything known as 'the world wide web'.  On top of that, a lot of people aren't writers and don't have any technical know-how.

That is why you need something called a 'script' that is appropriate for your target audience.  It needs to be short, simple, easily memorized and effective.  Usually, this takes the form of a question or a short series of questions.  It can also take the form of a testimony.  Example:  Your overweight friend says, "Hey Bob, you're looking fit.  You've really lost some weight!"  You answer, "Yeah, no kidding.  It's because of this supplement I've been taking.  Here, take a look at it."  Then pull a sample out of your pocket and hand it to your overweight buddy.  Ask him to try it and give you some feedback.  If it works for him, you've got a believer and a potential business partner.

Then you can follow up by saying something simple, like, "Hey man, there's a business side to this thing too.  Here, watch this little video online.  If what you see makes sense, let's talk some more."

Some MLM pros will tell you that sampling doesn't work.  They may be right about some products (such a shampoo, dog food or whatever), but it is highly effective with other products!  The point is that you need a plan and a system to get your product into the hands of your target audience - and that plan and system must be the kind that others can duplictate.  Sampling is one such system, but there are others.  At any rate, if you don't have a specific plan and system for marketing your product, then you will fail.

You also need a simple system for training your recruits.

It goes without saying that anyone you bring into your new business must be teachable and coachable.  That has a lot to do with their motivations (see: Target Audience).  But your company should have a complete training package - either on DVD or online - that anyone can understand.  This is vital.  Also, regular training calls that you can listen into are huge.  As your MLM downline grows, you won't personally be able to interact with everyone.  That's why you need a solid system, at the company level, that teaches everyone the same thing and in the same way.  It also has to be effective training that has been proven to produce good results.

My advice is to avoid any company that doesn't supply good quality, effective and understandable training.  Likewise, any company that does supply it is an attractive one.  It goes back to what I said earlier.  To be a success in MLM, you need to know what to do!  If you don't know what to do, or how to do it, then neither will anyone else.

Seek out some personal, one-on-one training from an expert.

In MLM, there is a classic problem.  It's called 'the blind leading the blind'.  If you truly want to do well with MLM, you need either a sponsor or an upline member who will coach and mentor you on a regular basis.  This should be someone who has already succeeded at the business.  Such an individual can also be invaluable on 3-way calls, helping you with presentations or just answering questions about anything and everything.

Being around a high-energy individual is contagious.  Watching and listening to what they do and say (and how they do it) is priceless.  You can't get that kind of experience any other way.  For example, my sponsor is a world-famous MLM pro and his sponsor is vice-president of the company.  These guys help me on a weekly basis and we work together to make sure new recruits have everything they need to win.  Without that, it's easy to start drifting without a rudder - despite all the best company-level training.  You need personal mentorship (from a winner) to win, trust me.
