live your best dreams

I had a fellow call me today about his “exciting business opportunity.” So, why am I making a big deal out of his phone call? Well, he called me last week about a different “exciting opportunity” and he’s no longer with that one. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of ‘deals’ out there and, bluntly stated, most of them don’t work and they never will. Sadly, tens of thousands of people are jumping from one deal to the next and they’ve been doing it for many years. Most of these people are broke, or close to it and, often, they didn’t start out that way. I’m convinced these well-intentioned people have become ‘hope junkies.’ New opportunities give them hope, at least for a few weeks, sometimes even for a month or two. Unfortunately though, these folks have real difficulty when the rubber meets the road and they seldom, if ever, earn any money.

My mentor has done three businesses, in the last thirty years, and he has earned millions of dollars.* He chose to leave AM___. The second company unexpectedly declared bankruptcy. He has been building his business with the third one for eleven years. Today, he is actively building a very successful, new, wholly-owned subsidiary.

Consider trying something new:
- before you join a new business, decide to work it for at least one year.

If you have a long-term outlook and are willing to persist, consider joining us; I know it will be worth your time and effort, it has certainly been worth mine!

Multilevel Marketing Millions
By: Brian Tracy

Eight Keys to MLM Success

If you’re looking at a multi-level marketing opportunity, here are eight key considerations.

Look for a multi-level business that has, number one, quality products with a good reputation. Never waste your time trying to sell anything that is not of excellent quality. Quality products are the starting point of your success in business. No successful business can ever be built on an average or mediocre product.

Look For Competitive Prices
Number two, look for a company that has prices that compare favorable with the competition. Remember, nobody’s going to pay more for your product or service if they can get the same or equivalent somewhere else at a lower price. So check the price comparisons.

Demand a Money Back Guarantee
The third thing you look for is a 100 percent unconditional money-back guarantee. In other words, the product must be so good and the company must stand behind it so strongly that they’re willing to give a 100 percent refund guarantee on anything that they sell. That’s a very good rule for starting and building any business.

Carry a Small Inventory
The fourth key in finding a multi-level marketing opportunity is that there should be a small or zero inventory requirement. You should be able to get into a multi-level marketing business with very little money. Not more than a hundred dollars.

Keep Good Records
The fifth requirement is that the company provides prompt delivery and efficient internal bookkeeping. A multi-level marketing business that’s well organized will be able to deliver your products within 24 or 48 hours for you to sell, or deliver to your customers. They’ll also take very good care of the books and give you accurate financial statements each month.

Seek a Strong Support Organization
A sixth thing to look for is a strong support organization. This is perhaps as important, if not more important, than anything else. Look for a support organization that will offer you training, that will give you seminars on product knowledge, that will give you motivation, and give you opportunities for personal and business development. Many people who have started with multi-level marketing companies have gone on to be very successful in their own businesses because of the training they got from the multi-level company. If the company doesn’t have a training system, try to find a company that does.

Honesty is the Best Policy
The seventh factor that you require is honesty and integrity. Make sure that the parent company has an impeccable reputation in the marketplace. Remember it has to be a company that you can be proud of. You should never have to make excuses for the company you’re working for.

Product Should be Consumable
Products should be consumable, leading to reorders and repeat business. You should try to sell a product that people use up on a regular basis, so that if they’re happy with it, they’ll continue to reorder and reorder and reorder. And once you get a customer, sometimes you can have a customer for years.
