How you will fail with Organo Gold

I’ve been in this industry since the 1980's and something that has always frustrated me was how marketers pitch you the latest and greatest opportunity.  It’s always fun when they lead with things like…. “You can make so much money with this!” or “I’m joining under a top leader and if you join, you’ll be rich!”


Of course, being the annoying little business person I am, I usually come back to them with things like “Well, what has the product done for you?”  Which of course gets me a few blank stares and then an awkward moment of silence. Followed by….

“Who cares what it does or what's in it, it can make you rich!”

Ah, ‘affiliate and network’ marketers… always ruining such a good thing.  Well, that's my opinion, anyway.  If it works for you, then great.

Here’s the kicker and a huge nugget if you are thinking about getting involved in any business opportunity (online or off):  If you do not USE the product and benefit from it directly, don’t join it. If the sole reason you are promoting the product is to make money, don’t promote it.

It’s funny, but I've been involved with Organo Gold for more than 3 years. I’ve never once mentioned the ‘business opportunity’ to people I meet because frankly, it’s not why I drink their coffees and tea. Crazy concept huh - actually USING something you buy?  People see me drinking it and sometimes ask about it.  Then I just give them some samples and tell them it's a business that I'm part of.  If they show any interest, I just invite them to watch the DVD presentation that explains everything.  Also, this blog links to an instructional page that contains everything needed on the business side of things.

Just remember, if the next opportunity you are thinking of joining pressures you with comments like ‘you can make a lot’ and ‘join now or else you will lose out... then run, don’t walk away! This industry has seen leeches of all sorts come in and take people’s hard earned money with the promises of instant riches and million dollar dreams. Truth is, the quickest way to make money online is to take your time and be consistent.

It's nothing sexy (I know), and it's not the answer people wanna' hear... but it’s the truth.

Love the product, be the product and believe in the product or service.  Don’t just join something cause you can ‘make a buck’.  It'll never work because no one will believe you.

Success secrets from the guy on the 100 dollar bill

We all know Ben Franklin for being the guy with the kite & key lightning experiment (as the story goes) and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.  Old Ben was also quite a diplomat and possessed a certain skill set for making friends and influencing people.


“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” – Ben Franklin


Have you ever noticed that those who have 'a way with people' seem to get more of the results they want, and are able to do so in such a way that everyone involved feels like a winner?  That’s important because if you get what you want by lying and cheating, you're going to damage your reputation - perhaps beyond repair.

Typically, however, this 'way with people' is not as natural as it looks - but rather is learned.  It's not entirely natural and it takes practice.

In his book, Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Other Writings, the inventor and statesman tells of an incident with a man who opposed his being re-chosen as Clerk of the General Assembly of the Pennsylvania House.

Although he did manage to keep the office, Ben knew that this person, whom he described as “a gentleman of fortune and education with talents that were likely to give him, in time, great influence in the House,” could be trouble later on. He aimed to insure that didn’t happen by “making, of an enemy, a friend.”

Let’s let Ben tell us how he did it:

“I did not, however, aim at gaining his favour by paying any servile respect to him, but after some time took this other method. Having heard that he had in his library a certain very scarce and curious book, I wrote a note to him expressing my desire of perusing that book and requesting he would do me the favour of lending it to me for a few days.

“He sent it immediately – and I returned it in about a week with another note expressing strongly my sense of the favour. When we next met in the House, he spoke to me (which he had never done before), and with great civility. And he ever afterward manifested a readiness to serve me on all occasions, so that we became great friends, and our friendship continued to his death.

”This is another instance of the truth of an old maxim I had learned, which says, ‘He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged.’ And it shows how much more profitable it is prudently to remove, than to resent, return, and continue inimical proceedings.”

Understand that both ways work (giving first and receiving first); it’s just a matter of judging the method that will work best depending upon both the situation and the other person involved.  Either way, what Ben said in his final sentence makes a whole lot of sense. To paraphrase: “We’re better off making a friend than keeping an enemy.”

While influence itself is simply the ability to move a person (or persons) to a desired action, to the degree you can do that while helping the other person to feel good about themselves, about the situation, and about you, that’s the degree that you will find yourself obtaining buy-in and commitment on an ongoing, consistent, and even predictable basis.

And that is – what I call – Ultimate Influence.  It will serve you well in whatever you do in life... even if it's starting an Organo Gold home business.

What is Organo Gold all about?

Talking to people; that's about it, really.  In other words, it's talking to people for a living.  We call this 'Network Marketing'... but there's a problem.  The problem is that is requires dedication, discipline and force of habit - traits that lie outside one's 'comfort zone'.

You see, Network Marketing is a business; it's not a hobby, a game, a scheme, a 'deal' or something in which to dabble. People who treat it lightly don't succeed.  However, those who treat it as a new career, a profession and a business have a reasonable opportunity to make it pay off very well.

Professionals who treat it as a Wealth Building Art to be “mastered” eventually can earn a yacht-load of money. Most people invite a few people to look at what they're involved with and then quit. Those who master it invite a few people every day for a year or two and (sometime in that “practice”) they hone the art of listening more than talking, interpreting rejection in a learning way and they learn how to verbally craft their offer in such a way that someone actually WANTS to hear more.

Could you do something like that?  Of course you can.  Organo Gold makes it easy for you.

Why you're not earning any money online

Do you want to know why you're not making money online?  It's because you're probably too focused on making the BIG money like most of the gurus are making (or say they are). You know... 10, 25, 50 thousand per month.  If you haven't figured it out by now, that's not realistic for a beginner.  The problem is that if you focus on those huge numbers, it takes you away from focusing your attention on where it NEEDS to be, which is making your first 100 bucks. And you can learn how to do that right away if you can follow some simple instructions - instructions that don't require any fancy software or computer skills. 

Everyone is attracted to the idea of a money-making, push-button, automated online business in which 'you don't have to talk to anybody' and the cash just pours in.  Some guru somewhere has probably told you how easy it is and showed you pictures of a big house, fancy cars, new boats, etc.

Here's the problem:  When you take the human element out of it, you'll never earn the BIG money and you will give up and quit in frustration.  It happens every time.  What you need is a system that's geared toward the very BEGINNING of your entrepreneurial journey to put cash in your pocket fast.  It's psychological.  Once you earn a little money with your new business, your confidence will grow - along with your skills - and that little money can become the BIG money that you're looking for.

I'm not suggesting that you give up on Internet Marketing.  Not at all!  It can and should be a vital component of your business activities.  You're reading my blog, right?  But earning a fortune online, and overnight, by pushing a few buttons isn't going to happen.  I don't care who promised you that or how much you believed them.  It's just not the truth.  I know, because I tried it for years!  That's why I've got a better idea.

Yes, you have to actually DO something.  Like, for example, talking to people.  But it's not hard to do, and you'll be shown exactly what to do.  That's why I truly love this Organo Gold program - the whole thing.  Because the simple, plug-in system walks you through the steps required for you (as a beginner) to start putting some real money in your pocket fast.  Does it work? Well, the guy who created this system of selling coffee is the #1 earner on earth in the Network Marketing industry.  His name is Holton Buggs and he's from right here in Houston, Texas.  Let me repeat that:  This system that he created has made him the top earner ON PLANET EARTH in this industry.  So yeah, this Organo Gold thing is the real deal.

There are so many fake gurus out there who teach others to be successful without actually having success themselves.  Think about it.  You can't lead anyone further than you've gone yourself.  So check out the information below and contact me to get started with a real business that really pays.

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.
