Network Marketing Saved Our Son!
Posted by: | CommentsWe were worried. Health issues eroded our young adult son’s confidence and potential. Amazing to us, Network Marketing started him on to the road to recovery. He continues to progress. We are encouraged.
How is it possible? It is hard to be sure what to tell you. It started with a simple product and a dream planted in a willing mind.
The product was nearly a perfect match for the health issues at hand. Well, maybe not perfect but it filled in the gap and got him going. It was what was needed. It wasn’t like we hadn’t tried anything before. Either the product didn’t help solve the issues or our son was not ready to try the remedy suggested. It turns out this product would have never been a match through typical channels. The company makes no product claims of healing or helping particular diseases or ailments.
The product was introduced to our son the way all good network marketing and word of mouth advertising goes. One person told another. Someone told my son. He tired it and felt an immediate effect. He got the results they claimed and it came in less than 15 minues. Wow. He could feel the difference immediately. This was not the entire solution. It was just the first simple small step on his road to recovery. The key being he took the first step. A seed of hope was planted.
Next, he joined the company and began to attend meetings. He soaked it all in. He was a sponge. His thinking began to change. His internal personal development began. Slowly he was doing more and more challenging tasks. These tasks took a lot out of him initially. Slowly he gained comfort with being on calls. Then it was participating in small meetings. Next he took charge of contacting others and involving them in his efforts. Before you know it he was doing things thought to be out of his abilities.
Leadership in the organization caught on to his story. Soon he was presenting his story as a source of inspiration to others in the organization. He rose to every challenge and met it head on. Now he presents at meetings, shares his story and is having success in his business.
Yes, many of the health issues still strike him. And yes, there will be many more challenges to come. Life is that way. Network marketing gave our son a new life. He now faces challenges and works through them. The difference is part physical improvements but moreover it is the attitude and determination he gained while learning to work his network marketing business.
Today our son is back! He is on a progressive path and it is exciting to see his growth. He now talks of dreams and ambitions. He seeks to help others.
Thanks to Network Marketing we have our son back!

How to Find MLM Networking Leaders
Posted by: | CommentsThe Search to Find MLM Leaders
Cynical Criteria
You need to decide what makes a MLM Leader. Is it Earnings? Downline? Business Volume? Integrity over time? Is it their following? I suggest you follow your gut. Make your criteria list outside of any presentation or event. Make sure you list the standards that matter most to you. With the standards in hand you are ready to find the MLM networking leader you seek.
Robust Research
Robust Research is far more than a causal search on the Internet. It is more than reading the public proclamations by individual and what is in print. You have to listen to their presentations. Pay particular attention to the things they say when they are speaking in informal situations. Listen between the lines. Fill in the gaps with what others who have interacted with them in business or other informal situation report. Compare your research findings with the criteria you have for your ideal MLM leader.
Proclamation vs Promulgation
Self proclamation is as credible as the source. Promulgation by third parties adds credibility as long as the context of the announcement is not tied to public edification. If a testimonial is provoked by request or product promotional plans the credibility is questionable.
Consider the source. Consider the context. Add credence to what you hear from those with whom you have confidence. Listen and read carefully between the lines. Know the actual meaning behind the carefully prepared message. Get to the meat of who and what your prospective MLM Leader is about.
Triangulation
Cream Rises to the Top
The natural laws of the universe play into life rewards. As a networking leader works with associates, the relationships they build follow them. When the MLM Leader rises above the fray they probably did more than just decide to be that way one day. You will find a MLM Leader of integrity and credibility has risen to the top through character and charisma. Follow the MLM Leader you find among the cream of the networking professionals.
Credibility Crucible
Do the numbers change each presentation? Is the story larger than life? Is it bigger every time you hear it? If the story the MLM Networking leader is sharing with you seems unbelievable press to know the actual facts. If you find the miracle credible give credence.
Context of Articulated Accolades
Sure your MLM Networking leader is likely to have praise. You will likely enjoy hearing or reading provocative proclamations. Look to the context. As the who, what, where, why and how question of the information you get.
Triangulation means get information from a variety of sources, in many different ways. Compare the sources and the information you acquire. When all the messages are congruent you will see your research pointing in the same direction. You can then decide to follow the facts. You have found a candidate for your MLM Leader.
Formalize Your Findings
Validate and Verify
You can find MLM networking leaders. Sometime it is a challenge. When you stay on your toes you will find the good, concerned people in the MLM Network Marketing industry ready to help you succeed. Put them to the test. Validate your findings. Verify what you feel. Follow the MLM leader who is really networking in the ways you can proceed.
Launch your Learning by Leveraging Their Learning
Finally with your networking MLM Leader found you are ready to leverage their learning and experience. They will help you see through the challenges you will face as you build your network and your character. You will become all you can be as you work through the lessons your MLM Leader is prepared to share. They have been there and are really ready to help you develop.
You can start blindly or just pursue the leaders in your organization or you can follow actual industry leaders assembled to help you through training and mentoring. I balance the direction I get from my company MLM Leaders with those in a neutral learning environment. I hope you will enjoy the same with the likes of MLM Leaders Jack Zufelt, Todd Falcone, Ty Tribble, Kevin Latmore, Joel Putland and more.

The Weekly Game Plan – Maintenance:Protecting You Perfomance Potential
Posted by: | CommentsBuilding your business is extremely hard work. Some of the hardest work you will ever to. It is critical you protect your capacity to produce. Maintaining balance in the four main areas of your life (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) provides you the power you need to face the challenges. You and I need daily fortification and strengthening in each area.
PREFSS Provide Protection
I have set for myself a minimum daily requirement I call my PREFSS. PREFSS are the preferred activities of each day required for health, personal growth and overall well-being. These activites provide the strength you and I need to perform the difficult and demanding duties of each day.You will want to find your own personal preferred activities to set as minimum daily requirements for you.
My Personal PREFSS Are:
Pray/Ponder – Morning and evening formally and throughout the day, informally, in our heart as I feel the need.
Rest Rise/Retire – Rest is vital for rejuvenation. Too much sleep leaves me droggy. Too little, I’m on edge or without strength.
Exercise -Brain over body through physical exercise for strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. The exercise of control my actions (like eating the wrong stuff) adds strength of character.
Follow – Follow my gut, my intuition and my mentor in my daily actions. I strive to choose my course of action based on how I feel. Usually the cumulative results are amazing AND I “feel” good about my choices!
Study – I study the scriptures and sacred rite for strength, learning and edification. I also study “good books” for further development. I try to spread my study between depth and breadth. Depth in our area of specialty. Breadth in the classics of good literature to make us whole, balanced and well rounded.
Service – Service with sacrifice is the way good works get done. This action helps me get out of my selfish ways and consider the place of others.
These PREFSS are my preferred path for me each day. Yours will likely be different. Make sure your daily preferred actions touch each of the primary areas of YOU.
Track Daily Performance
I use a paper planner to track daily my performance in each of these areas. While each day all these items may not get accomplished, I can quickly see if a few days are missed. When this happens, I get focused and make sure the missed item is completed today. The paper planner gives me a readily visible way to hold myself accountable. Works for me.
You and I will protect our capacity to produce as we make our PREFSS the daily minimum standard for our activities. Remember to assure your PREFSS cover each are of YOU (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual).
My PREFSS server me well in maintaining my health and personal development while I work hard to build the business of my dreams. I hope you find the activities you need to maintain your capacity to perform and produce at effective levels. Remember establish your preferred activities and make them the your daily minimum standard. Track your actions make this the habit for your character development. It makes the difference!
