Network Marketing Success - Are you in the "Now"?

To have network marketing success you need to be in the "now". Are you?

What does that mean?

If you dwell too much on the past, beyond what you need to know as a background for your business, it is impossible to be very successful. If you live in the future too much, you will have the same result.

Nothing happens in the past or the future.

You can use the past as a springboard, you can use the future to hold your vision of what you want it to be.

as a professional health coach, I can tell you the the work, all actions, take place in the "now. Our lives are a continual series of moments. "Now" is where the "doing" is.

Leave any blame in the past and don't carry it with you. Leave the vision in the future, only take the steps now to journey towards the future. We never really get there. It is just a guiding beacon and keeps evolving. The "now" is the journey. Enjoy the journey.

There's a saying that "now" is a gift - that's why they call it the "present".

Network Marketing Opportunity with Answers

The Network Marketing business opportunities are endless. Every imaginable service, product and program is available. And, you want to find our about them. You have a dream, you want to work from home, you want your time to be yours and you don’t want to do lots of work. What is the criterion in a company that gives you the best of everything? Do they pay on a true residual income or are they a network marketing business that is ongoing? The answers to these questions are crucial.

FIRST, let me advise you of the word N-E-T W-O-R-K-I-N-G. It means exactly what it says. Networking. It is a business that requires self discipline. If you cannot give of your time faithfully each and every day, if you cannot routinely set a certain amount of hours per day to learn skills and do the work, then stop reading this article right now! I am serious. This business is a business of concentration, devotion, integrity, discipline, and know that you need to work hard now so that in a couple years you can set back and relax. You don’t need to be “red” to do this. You need consistency. It is a numbers game, but you can close the gap, by working very hard.

You are very wise to investigate a network marketing business opportunity before you join. There are good ones and bad ones and the bad ones are usually very bad. The compensation plan is very, very important. If your compensation plan in company A is a stair step breakaway then you will have breakage. If one leg passes you in rank and or volume then they break away. Read that again. I don’t know how you would feel if you recruit, recruit, and recruit only to have them break away from you because they were doing the business a bit faster then you. You might want to ask yourself where does this money go? Does it go to your up line, or maybe the company?

The binary plan is just about as bad. You usually have two legs. You must keep them even if you want paid on both. What? Yes! Otherwise you only get paid on the weak leg. If Sally Jane is on the strong leg and wants to bring someone into the business and you know when she does it will stop your paycheck, you cannot say “No don’t bring them in,” This plan is not a good plan for advancement.

You need some answers right? You have come to the right place because we will not mince words. Our team helps people understand Policies and Procedures, plus Compensation plans. We talk to people about the gotcha’s in the plans. We get replies like “that has to be there. It’s in all the plans”, or “I write Policies and Procedures and I am O.K. with it”, or “my company would never do that to me”. Want to bet! Why do you think companies hire lawyers for their network marketing business? So the top 5% or so make the money. You think you can get there easily? Do you listen to all the hype and say….”I can do this”.

Learn the skills. Learn how to look for a Five Pillar company. Look for one whose top leaders have been on the bottom and have pulled themselves up by their boot straps. Look for a good product that pays you on volume. Look for one with a true residual income, one that will pay your children’s children. Look for a company who has a product that screams to be sold. We call them “purple cows.” Do research on the company. Learn the “colors” because it will help you understand how to talk to people. What type of people will work best with you? You can control what type of people you want to work with.

Also, there are 7 Keys to forming a successful business. Two have to do with you and the other five the company. Learn these seven keys. Arm yourself to the teeth with knowledge, so that you won’t be one of those unfortunate people whose bank account gets much lighter as a result of paying out thousands and thousands of dollars and not making it. It happens everyday. We get calls from people who are emotionally and financially drained because they have been ripped off, and hyped out. You have a chance to learn and we would like to give you that chance. What does it cost? nothing only your long distance phone call. We can and will help you.

If everyone in your town decided to jump off the bridge and it would kill them on impact, would you do it too, just because everyone was doing it? No! Then learn the difference between joining the first company that promises you $40,000 the first month or that within the year you should be making $100,000. Do the math. Figure it out. It doesn’t take a Philadelphia lawyer to understand, it’s either illegal, a bunch of hype, or a ball faced lie. Most likely all three.

So, contact us. Learn skills part time. Keep your day job. Step into the waters of a network marketing business with skill, and a shield of knowledge about you that no hype can penetrate. Network marketing is fun and very rewarding. We can help you get to the top!

May success be yours.

Network Marketing Success: A Culture of Truth vs Arbonne International

When I think about network marketing success I think about the culture that a company creates. Some of this is dictated by the Policies an Procedures. Some of it is dictated by the compensation plan. The truth about Arbonne's compensation plan is that it is a stairs-step-breakaway plan.

What does that mean? When Arbonne shows the different levels of achievement and position status, it looks like a stairway. You qualifiy by producing so much in sales, whether you purchase it yourself or other people do. When you reach a certain volume in a certain time period, you can advance to the next management level. It's actually more complicated than that, but the gist is there.

The breakaway comes if someone you sponsor builds faster than you and they pass your level. In that case, you lose much of or most of the volume they have created and your check drops. Ergo, unless you are building as fast or faster than they are, you lose out, you don't get paid on everything.

What culture does this create? Well, a distributor who is passed by will either work harder, or tend to not help their recruits as hard, or will look for another company, or just quit the business.

Network marketing is an awesome business, but the truth is that a majority of the people are average part-time networkers who never make any money. The truth is that most of the people who sign up with Arbonne never make any money. They are just wholesale buyers and join to get the discount. Arbonne is great at weaving the dream of unlimited income, but the truth is, the vast majority of average part-time networkers will never have that dream realized with Arbonne.

Arbonne has great training and my experience was with the company that I really needed to change who I was. Arbonne says you have to work very hard. Well, that is correct. It is, after all, network marketing and not netplay marketing. But average part-time networkers never have a chance. The compensation plan is too difficult to qualify for much if any money. And I know a lot of people, besides myself, who bought the next position and believed if we just got there the rest will follow.

What follows is debt.

The truth about Arbonne is that the products are great. It is a great company. But there are other companies where it is easier to earn that few hundred dollars a month that can be the difference between bankruptcy and no bankruptcy. By the same token, it would be easier to earn a legacy income where you can retire and live the life you always dreamed of.

Remember, if you cannot make it with Arbonne, there is nothing wrong with you. It is not your fault. You need to make a distinction between the products and the business.

In order to gain the skills to determine if a company is right for you, or even right for anyone, I invite you to dial into the Mentoring for Free calls. The price is right for everybody - free.

What's the catch? There isn't one. All of us at Mentoring for Free were looking for help. We received it and now want to help others. If there is a catch, it's that helping other people makes us feel great.

Wishing you network marketing success via a culture of truth,
