Let's talk about one of the top benefits of Owning Your Own Home-Based Business.
Tax Incentives.
Many people overlook this very important benefit but it can make a huge difference for you come Income Tax Day. Running a business out of your home can save you up to $5,000 or more on your taxes every year even if you don't have success!
Here are just some of the things you can write off:
--- Your business start-up costs
--- A portion of your house payment or rent
--- A portion of your utilities
--- Car expenses
--- Travel
--- Meals
--- Magazine subscriptions
--- Child care
--- Telephone bills
--- Postage
--- Office equipment (need a new computer?)
--- Software
--- Bank fees
--- Your Internet service
The list goes on. Many of these things you have and pay for anyway. But now that you can operate a business from home, they become a tax write off.
You can even pay your kids to work for you and write it off. Now that's a smart way to save for college.
Of course you'll want to consult your accountant as laws vary from state to state, country to country and year to year, but I can promise you this: having a home-based business will help keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket instead of The Tax Man's.
Seriously, we don't understand why everyone doesn't start a home business? It must just be a lack of education in this area.
Get educated, it's worth a GUARANTEED #3,000 to $5,000 a year in tax savings or more...
Here are the tremendous tax advantages from our business and you can instantly have them too:

I realize it can be a big decision to start a home business. But, please don't hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions or just want to discuss options.
Until next time.
Did you know that you can start getting all these tax advantages just by getting started for $39.95? Click below and get started or call me and well help you get set up.
Your paying more taxes than necessary. Let's change that starting today!

Free Leveraged Advertising
The most important success factor in ANY business or organization is having customers!
This is where the rubber meets the road…
The main differences between an MLM business and a REAL business is the CUSTOMERS.
The traditional MLM business that fails has NO REAL CUSTOMERS.
The people that join the business as distributors that are trying to make extra money are really nothing more than the customers - usually the only customers.
A REAL business has REAL CUSTOMERS who actually BUY the products because they WANT them.
So, who do you think is going to stick around longer and continue to buy your products?
The MLMer who is only buying the products to make money, but he’s NOT MAKING any money?
Or, the CUSTOMER that actually buys the product because she actually WANTS THEM?
Hello…
A REAL CUSTOMER is better than a “distributor” any day of the week!
So, how does a REAL BUSINESS build a profitable enterprise based on REAL CUSTOMERS?
The biggest challenge of any business is:
1) Selling Products = Getting NEW Customers.
2) Being Profitable = KEEPING Customers
The biggest challenge of any home based business is:
1) Attracting or finding Customers = Basically, most uplines and MLM companies will teach you how to do this by only going to friends and family for customers.
2) Limited Potential = Growth is limited to the number of people the distributor knows.
It’s ALL About Acquiring And KEEPING REAL CUSTOMERS.
Did you ever wonder how McDonalds sells so many of those mediocre hamburgers?
Or, how Coca-Cola and Pepsi sells so many bottles of sugar-water?
ADVERTISING!!!
LEVERAGED ADVERTISING!!!
ONGOING LEVERAGED ADVERTISING!!!
Period.
It really is just that simple.
So, why not put Ongoing, Leveraged Advertising to work for YOU?
You’ve TRIED calling your friends and family, which was limited…You’ve TRIED handing out Free samples…You’ve TRIED mailing out DVD’s or Tapes…You’ve TRIED buying “lead” list and TELEMARKETED…You’ve probably TRIED it ALL…

What you’re going to have to do to make your business profitable.

What Do You Do If Your Sponsor Sucks?
Great question right?
I'm sure you've dealt with this situation if you've had any sort of tenure as a network marketer.
I mean you do all the research, you find a business that you think is a perfect fit for you, you do the research to find a great sponsor, and then when you think everything is matched up perfectly your jump in.
What happens?
You get in and then you get very little support from your upline! You don't know what to do or where turn and you start to feel like you're in this thing all alone.
Well I'm going to tell you something that I'm guessing you've never heard before!
In Some Ways You're Actually Pretty Lucky!!!!
Why?
Well as someone that was in a network marketing company with virtually no sponsor and I've also been in a network marketing opportunity with a great sponsor, I've seen things from both sides.
So let me explain . . .
When I started with network marketing I was sure to dot all my eyes and cross all my tees. I found a good sponsor and what I thought to be a good system and company. I did everything I was taught to do and over 13 months later I had no success.
My next run in network marketing I found a company I liked without much regards to the sponsor and joined. And now 18 months later I've got a thriving organization that grows by 10 to 15 people a day like clockwork without any direct upline support.
If we looked at the situation objectively based on my results the obviously conclusion would be that going in without a sponsor is the way to go.
Now I'm not going to say that is totally true, but . . .
Going into a business without a strong sponsor does have its advantages. It forces you to go out into the world without expectations and without their system and figure it out for yourself.
You're forced into a leadership role.
You have to find what works for you and if you don't there's nothing to lean on, so it's really a do or die situation! You're forced to go to school and learn. You have to buy books and information from those who have been more successful than you and then create your own system out of it.
You have to be independent.
If you have a good sponsor you can get lazy.
You can rely to heavily on their system and their promise of its effectiveness. You have a scape goat for when it doesn't work! So when you don't get the success you thought you deserved from all your hard work it's NOT your fault, it's your sponsors fault, it's your companies fault. (At least in your own mind.)
All I'm saying is if your going to be successful in network marketing your sponsor has little to do with it. He or she can shorten your learning curve, but it's up to each and every one of use to define our path to success and become our own leader.

Direct Sales Industry Highlights
What You Should Know About This Industry!
Every year thousands of people sign up for a home based business in the direct sales industry, but most do not really understand that they are part of something much larger.
Did you know that the projected sales for 2007 alone are over $100 billion. $100 BILLION!!!
Did you know that four out of five people in the home based business base are women?
Did you also know that 87% of the folks in the home based business arena do it part time?
It is really important to know the facts about the industry that you are already in or maybe thinking of becoming involved with.
Do you know who your target market is and precisley whom you should be talking with? If you know the statistics, you should not waste a lot of time going around recruiting different groups of people when you know there is a good chance that they are not going to join your business. Or, stick around long.
It is also very important to understand why people join a home based business.
A lot of people will join for the income. A lot of people will join for the recognition. And other people will simply join to belong to a team or group.
When you are thinking about recruiting new people into your business as business builders, understand this very important principle - people will work for money, but die for recognition. That is why a lot of folks are so excited about this type of business. Have you ever been to a big conference and watched people walk across the stage and tell their story? It is moving to see people tell an audience why they joined a company or how the product for them. It is a vital phenomenon of direct sales. It is really exciting to see people's lives evolve. One of the things that you do not hear about in the reports or see in the newsletters is how these people's lives change. It is a great feeling to have when you can impact lives in a positive way. The greatest gift you can give is your time.
In corporate America or Canada, most people are focused on keeping someone down. In the direct sales industry, the reason you succeed is because you help people up. Our industry is built on professionals who do it the right way, not by the people who do it the wrong way.Take to heart how important it is that you share the proper information when you talk about your business, your industry and the growth that is taking place all over the world.

Leadership Begins Within - 7 Ways You Can Make a Difference
Are you an Effective Leader?
Communication is key, especially when you are the person in charge of making things happen. People will not have the opportunity to learn unless know how to effectively communicate what is expected of them.
If you want to be a better leader, you need to first learn who you are. Identify your strengths and weaknesses equally so you understand how to operate, both positively and negatively. Observe how you treat others and how they respond to you.
One thing you must commit to, if you want to practice better leadership, is the willingness to learn from every experience, particularly the painful ones, for they yield the richest lessons. When we work on improving ourselves ... we also work on strengthening our business skills. Read the following questions carefully and think about what type of leader you are. Take note of your strong areas and your weak areas.
Are you an effective leader?
Fairness and Consideration: Do others enjoy being around you and find you easy to talk to? Do you treat people fairly as you would like to be treated? Abusive or intimidating behavior only puts a wall between you your business associates. Others want to do business with people that are fair and considerate in all aspects of that relationship.
Sensitivity: Do you criticize others only in private? While praising in public encourages people to excel, public criticism will only embarrass and alienate everyone.
Clear Vision: Do you take the time to share you vision, your mission and your goals? Your job as leader is to provide a clear vision that your team is to follow. They also need to understand why that goal is valuable to them.
Being Open Minded: Are you open minded? Do you stop and listen to suggestions from your staff and other in other people you work with? Do you quickly implement those good ideas? If your goal is to be self-centered, followers will lose their enthusiasm. Emphasize the strengths and contributions of everyone you do business with. When you put one of your staff’s or business associate’s ideas to work quickly they will feel more involved and be more willing to continue offering ways to improve within your business.
With an open mind you will bring many new, fresh and innovative ideas into your organization. A good leader always stays open minded.
Do You Work Under A Relaxed Environment? The atmosphere where your staff and associates feel comfortable and have fun while doing business with you? No one wants to feel the pressures and stress on the job, although they will sometimes be there. Take time to have fun and let the people around you do so as well.
Genuine Interest. Do you judge people quickly, or do you take the time to get to know them and to respect their differences? Take the time to get to know your staff and associates to find out more about their interests and concerns.
Genuine Concern. Do you take the time to smile and say hello, or to ask how their day is going? Do you care about the people you work with? People will care more about you, your business and your ideas when you show them that you sincerely care about them.
Open Communication. Successful leaders take specific actions to get results within their business. Are you taking these actions? Think about where you can improve and make a concentrated effort to do so. Being self-absorbed is an easy trap. But take the time and unselfish concern to stop and think of others first.
Effective leaders respect both the processes of leadership and the people involved. They know enough to approach issues from the side. That is, they don’t directly confront people, argue with them or attempt to make someone wrong. They avoid embarrassing people or putting them in compromising positions. They listen before they make up their mind, and they know better than to insinuate or criticize. They ask questions rather than make statements. They inquire rather than enforce.
Your team can sometimes be like an extended family. You take the time to work on your personally relationships and keep an open communication there ... so why not work on your relationships in your business the same way?
Don’t expect others to know what you are thinking ... you must effectively communicate to your staff all the time. Open communication is the key to any great relationship!
Great leaders don’t demand respect; they earn it with their effective leadership skills. Great leaders continue to learn and improve those skills all the time. Are you a great leader?

Being Open Minded: Are you open minded? Do you stop and listen to suggestions from your staff and other in other people you work with? Do you quickly implement those good ideas? If your goal is to be self-centered, followers will lose their enthusiasm. Emphasize the strengths and contributions of everyone you do business with. When you put one of your staff’s or business associate’s ideas to work quickly they will feel more involved and be more willing to continue offering ways to improve within your business.
With an open mind you will bring many new, fresh and innovative ideas into your organization. A good leader always stays open minded.
Do You Work Under A Relaxed Environment? The atmosphere where your staff and associates feel comfortable and have fun while doing business with you? No one wants to feel the pressures and stress on the job, although they will sometimes be there. Take time to have fun and let the people around you do so as well.
Genuine Interest. Do you judge people quickly, or do you take the time to get to know them and to respect their differences? Take the time to get to know your staff and associates to find out more about their interests and concerns.
Genuine Concern. Do you take the time to smile and say hello, or to ask how their day is going? Do you care about the people you work with? People will care more about you, your business and your ideas when you show them that you sincerely care about them.
Open Communication. Successful leaders take specific actions to get results within their business. Are you taking these actions? Think about where you can improve and make a concentrated effort to do so. Being self-absorbed is an easy trap. But take the time and unselfish concern to stop and think of others first.
Effective leaders respect both the processes of leadership and the people involved. They know enough to approach issues from the side. That is, they don’t directly confront people, argue with them or attempt to make someone wrong. They avoid embarrassing people or putting them in compromising positions. They listen before they make up their mind, and they know better than to insinuate or criticize. They ask questions rather than make statements. They inquire rather than enforce.
Your team can sometimes be like an extended family. You take the time to work on your personally relationships and keep an open communication there ... so why not work on your relationships in your business the same way?
Don’t expect others to know what you are thinking ... you must effectively communicate to your staff all the time. Open communication is the key to any great relationship!
Great leaders don’t demand respect; they earn it with their effective leadership skills. Great leaders continue to learn and improve those skills all the time. Are you a great leader?

How To Talk To A Woman In Network Marketing (MLM)
“Closers Wanted", or "You Have To Close The Deal”, or my personal favorite "ABC - Always Be Closing"
Have you ever heard these clowns using their guerilla closer tactics tell you, “Bring everyone you can find into the meeting and I’ll close ‘em for ya”?
Maybe, your still in one of those companies where the biggest, beefiest super guerilla closer of them all is supposed to close all the dull-whitted prospects you manage to bring to a tele-call everyday?
You have probably also heard the super fat cat awesome closer gets the big box because he is so important that he deserves that reward the most.
Have you ever noticed it is the guerilla closer tactician that gets the lime light up on the stage? What with his power suit, power shirt, power tie, power watch, and yes even power under wear? Man, watch him strut! Can you tell how much he loves it?
Those guys think they are so cool because closing is the most important thing on the planet, and only they know how to do it because they have cevelar skin, titanium bones, and liquid nitrogen blood. They just know they are “all that”.
What Is Missing Here?
Did you see one mention of the word “she” or “her”?
No.
Why do you suppose that is guys?
HINT: None of the gals are guessing.
Guys, until now I have stuck it to you, a lot like you stuck it to the girls you have “scored on”, to get your attention.
In network marketing men seem to think that the faster and more often they can “score” .. oops … er, uh … I mean “close” the better.
Wake up fellas!
If the girls you tried to "close" in the back seat of your dads car did not want that back then, what makes you think that things have changed just because the game is now MLM or Network Marketing?
Grow up!
Network Marketing & MLM FACTS About Women:
1. Women make up 80% of all network marketers according to the Direct Sales Association.
2. Women do not like to be pushed into anything.
3. Women hate to be closed.
Remember back on that first date guys?
Admit it … you knew she did not want to be dragged into that back seat to be closed!
Heads up … she still does not want that and she never will.
And she feels the same about you and your “close” in MLM.
I know you are probably thinking, “So what’s the big deal? What do they want?”
OK Bubbu, come here and let me draw you a picture.
No matter what was going on in your head, or what your vision of the future was, that girl knew she would have to carry your baby for 9 months, and then care for it and nurture it for at least another 18 years. And get very little....if any "support" from you the closing gun slinger who's just out for the thrill of the kill!
Meanwhile where is mister Romeo?
Dragging some other poor girl into the same “close”.
That girl knows that in today’s network marketing world it takes weeks, or even months just to build good relationships. They need to be sure your not going to just take off after you get what you really wanted, the "close".
That takes trust, understanding and support!
Then it will probably take another 1 to 3 years for those relationships to pay off in the form of a long-term, residual income. And of course by this time that girl, who became a mother is now a grandmother so she may be needed to help with the next generation of new network marketing youngsters.
That girl … no … that woman knows all this takes is first trust, planning, and passion.
That woman knows what most guys have yet to learn …
Here Is What Women Know
It is NOT all about the “close” or the first sale.
She hates being “closed” as much as she hated being treated and talked to as a “score”.
She is NOT a thing to be “closed”, she is a person.
Building a long-term business customer base takes a lot of understanding people needs, patience in training, and nurturing.
Starting out with a long-term mind set is most important to success in MLM.
Huddle UP Guys!
So guys, do you really want to be the big stud in network marketing?
OK, then here is the big play.
Spend all your time talking about how the women you meet in MLM can build a powerful, long-term customer base.
Oh, and you might also want to discuss how those same women can find a few good business partners to build strong for the next couple of generations.
Heck, maybe by then, if you are still around, you might actually find that they want the same thing you do.

Are You Using A Sharp or Dull Axe?
Imagine walking up to a man trying to chop down a tree in the forest. He's struggling with all his might and yet he's barely made any progress.
You look at him and you see that he is chopping at the tree vigorously and he's been at it for quite some time and he's intent on getting the tree to down.
He has a single focus and is using all the proper leverage and perfect technique, but as you get close you see there is one thing out of place.
He's using a dull blade.
You say to the man . . .
"Hey buddy why don't you just sharpen your blade, you'll get the job done twice as fast?"
He replies . . .
"No time, can't you see I'm trying to chop down this tree?"
Well, when I first started network marketing I was this guy out in forest trying to chop down my tree of successfully building a downline.
I hacked at it. I tried all the techniques I was told were proper and I was intent on using them with all my might until my goal was reached.
Unfortunately, the guy in our example above had one advantage over me.
He had someone actually come up to him and point out his problem.
The sad truth is . . .
If someone had done this for me I probably would have given them the same response that our man with the axe above gave.
I would have said . . .
"Can't you see I'm trying to build a downline? I don't have time for that!"
While in the act and exerting all our energy to a task we give very little time to reflection on what may truly help us be more successful. We think that if we just keep hacking away that sooner or later we will be successful in achieving our end.
While this may hold true . . .
Wouldn't a sharper blade make that struggle a whole lot easier?
I hear a question brewing . . .
"Paul, you say a blade, but what does this equate to in network marketing?"
HOW YOU MARKET YOUR BUSINESS
All I'll say is this . . .
You can't consistently recruit 30 people in a month with personal contact or with the phone, but when you learn to leverage the awesome power of the internet using "funded proposals" to your advantage you end up with a mighty sharp network marketing blade that can!
He's a super sharp axe I personally use to build my MLM with...www.9DollarSolution.net
Take Care,

The "Smart" Way To Build MLM - Funded Proposals!
Funded Proposal Marketing:
“How To Get Your Prospects To Pay You Whether They Join You or Not!”
The biggest expense you’ll have in your business is lead generation:
Advertising and Marketing
If you can erase this expense, you can stay in the game until your residuals kick in.
Believe it or not, you can even turn your lead generation into a PROFIT CENTER.
Nine out of ten of the people you talk to are NOT going to join you in your primary deal…
That’s just the way it is.
Hey, you just can’t afford to lose 90-95% of your prospects, can you?
Well, that fact is, the smart networkers make money whether their prospects join
them or not…
“How in the world?" You ask...
The fact is, your best “targeted” prospect for your business is someone that has already been in a home-based business...
Whether they’re in a business right now or have been in the past.
You don’t have to sell them on the industry, and they quite often already know other people that they can bring into a profitable venture.
What’s the last thing another MLMer wants to see?
An ad for another MLM deal.
What’s almost every MLMer looking for?
A “how-to” system to make his or her deal work!
People Don’t Buy MLM. They Buy SYSTEMS.
People aren’t looking for another deal…
They’re looking for a way to make the one they’re already in work!

The Internet Half-Truths & Lies!
** Insidious BIG LIES people on the Internet Tell **
You know what is MORE damaging than an out right lie?
****** Some who tell you only a half-truth ******
People waste $5,000 to $50,000 in our business throwing darts up against the wall.
They fall all over themselves and their family's savings, in vein, following a SYSTEM that someone lied to them about and was only a HALF-TRUTH.
Case in point. You join an opportunity. It's not MLM (Network Marketing) and it doesn't pay you residually.
Maybe it's $500 or $1,500 or even $5,000 to join and you get to earn HUGE retail money.
Maybe it's a 1-Up or a 2-Up.
Sell the darn thing for $597 and earn $500.
Or, sell another deal for $1,500 and earn $1,000.
Wow... BIG money... Your sponsor is earning $18,000 per month.
And your "team" (funny how we assume the team is our new family!)
And the NEW TEAM around you bashes Network Marketing.
All of a sudden what was ONCE your bastion of hope now sucks.
They REMIND you of your past failure in MLM and that the NEW WAY to WEALTH is by selling large ticket premium programs in the neighborhood of $500 to $5,000.
Essentially that is now what the WOLVES are now teaching.
That MLM all of sudden sucks. You are now brainwashed (again) into a half-truth. They tell you that MLM is (dead), doesn't work and that the NEW MONEY is one time NO downline sales of 1-Up and 2-Up programs.
The HALF-TRUTH is correct.
The new money is in creating large dollops of cash up-front.
That half-truth is correct.
YOUR days are numbered if you don't start to teach your new batch of starry eyed Lambs to GET PAID ALREADY.
Yes, the new money IS in the FUNDED PROPOSAL.
Retail to recruit.
Get paid now and downline the little darlings later on.
PAY YOURSELF NOW so you can be HERE in 24 months.
True. But only half or 50% at best.
=======================================
HERE is THE TRUTH and all 100% of the TRUTH =======================================
Please don't shoot me. I am only the messenger. NOT the message.
The TRUTH is and possibly MORE truth than you want right now.
Like that matters to me. Go ahead, click away. Like I care. I was put here to TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
Not to make FRIENDS.
I am in business. Not the CULT (or church) of Internet Riches.
LEADERS will tell you what you need to hear.
The WOLVES tell their little Lambs what they WANT to hear.
============== TRUTH SERUM =================
Until Oprah Winfrey, TRUMP, banks and all major corporations stop trying to lace and thread their RETAIL customers on some sort of monthly debit auto-ship.
UNTIL Citi-Bank, Verizon and Trump stop using the monthly Auto-ship business model...
UNTIL then anyone who tells you MONTHLY auto-ship pay per month MLM is stupid is a M-O-R-O-N!
Listen up Wisenheimer.
I never needed to be rich. I don't need to be RIGHT.
I only wanted to be F/T and turn in my employee noose.
THAT security BADGE they make you wear AROUND your neck.
What BUSINESS model do you trust MORE?
** Citi-Corp
** Verizon
** Oprah and Donald
** Sams Club
** PRUDENTIAL Insurance
** PHIZER drugs
** HBO and TNN
** Shaw
** Your Internet Service Provider
Or some lame bo-peep (fake) MLM company struggling to do $500,000 per month in gross sales.
I am sane. Are you?
I choose to NOTICE how all (not some, but all) large REAL-WORLD conglomerates use the biz-model of monthly debit auto-ship.
I am a "real world" business student!
MLM (Network Marketing) is God's gift to the little guy. MLM allows you to legally earn $10 to $35 bucks per month on the purchases of 10,000 STRANGERS.
MLM is a paid subscription program, like CITI-BANK.
LIKE OPRAH WINFREYS magazine "O."
LIKE DONNY TRUMP who auto-debits his tenants.
LIKE VERIZON phone and all banks.
=========================================
The Rich get RICHER because they BILL you monthly! =========================================
And your UPLINE GURU bashes MLM. LOL.... Real Genuis!
Hark unto me.
I have never seen anything so ludicrous in my life.
Half truth: MLM sucks. Get rich selling a FUNDED PROPOSAL.
100% of the TRUTH: USE a retail FUNDED PRPOSAL as a way to...
The REAL TRUTH looks like this:
** COLLECT new paid retail customers.
** Collect a new base of customers to EARN from monthly.
** USE to create for yourself a LIST you can MLM with monthly.
If your sales funnel NO matter how much CRAZY CASH it feeds you each month...
If your SALES funnel doesn't ultimately nudge people onto a PER MONTH paid subscription you will be OUT of business in under 12 months.
Your insurance company bills you on auto-ship monthly.
ALL Network Marketing companies auto-ship and debit your LIST monthly.
PERFECT, that's marvelous.
That's how to get FILTHY RICH.
Imagine earning $10 to $35 to $75 PER MONTH from 10,000 people.
Verizon and Banks do.
Sams Club does.
I do.
And YOU should too!
The RICH get RICHER (quick, point a finger at me!) because the RICH keep finding NEW people and new ways to CHARGE you MONTHLY.
You buy a car and the finance company like CHRYSLER for instance bills you monthly and charges---surprise!---interest.
Your car, your insurance, your home and your kids schools.
ALL MLM auto-ship programs.
ALL have different LEVELS of management.
The WORLD is on auto-ship.
Even your lousy SAMS CLUB and COSTCO wholesale membership is a gosh darn ANNUAL DEBIT fee auto-ship.
Even BLOCKBUSTER and Net-Flix DVD is an auto-ship program.
Even OMAHA STEAKS tries to grab your ass into an auto-ship.
OMAHA steaks tries to get you to go on auto-ship so they can auto-debit your VISA card EVERY MONTH and send you more steaks.
And then there's some dirty old man on-line shouting, "M L M Sucks!"
Geez Louise. I swear I am exhausted.
I need a Vodka and Juice.
Make mine a double.
Some of these people are absolutely nuts.
That's no way to live.
GREAT. Another STRAIGHT-LINE downline shell game.
The owners of the SITE earn $35 per 2,000 people on the site fee and the little guy is shot down the river ONCE AGAIN!
==============
SITE FEE GLORY
==============
The SHARK makes 35 X's 2,000 = $70,000 THOUSAND per month.
MLM Gimmicks.
Can someone please shoot me already.
Can someone SHOW me JUST ONE GUY earning $10,000 now RESIDUALLY because he joined some STRAIGHT LINE gimmick three years ago?
No?
I didn't think so.
I can't take this anymore.
I don't know.
Maybe I should go place an application at Dominos pizza.
SHARE this WISDOM with anyone you think has the mind and ears to hear some MARKETING GENIUS.

Stop Being An Amateur & Start Being A Professional
Poor networkers are amateurs and wealthy networkers are professionals!
Are YOU a professional or an amateur?
Keep reading and find out.....
1) A professional is someone who gets paid. An amateur is someone who doesn't.
Many people in this industry are really busy browsing the internet, holding mastermind meetings, training, visiting with the competition, emailing associates, watching American Idol, listening to their ipods, or just sitting around in a daze staring at their call display screen. Unfortunately, that's what the amateurs are doing and that's why they don't get paid.
If you want to start making a pile of money in this industry, just focus on recruiting and retailing (marketing - more on that if future articles) to prospective customers. So, in other words...JUST GO PRO!
2) Professional (wealthy) networkers are proud of the MLM industry. Amateur (poor) networkers are embarrassed to be in MLM.
That's crazy!
The network marketing (MLM) industry is the ONLY ethical, decent industry left for value-based humans who prefer to become wealthy by elevating others to their highest potential!
How would you like to be a lawyer and spend your life engaged in the orderly tranfer of wealth from those who earned it to those who didn't, or helping people literally get away with murder. Or how about a banker who loans money at interest which, in most Christian denominations, is defined as the venial sin "usury" and punishable by eternal damnation.
Folks, network marketing is a win/win, not a win/lose. Be proud of your profession. I'd rather jump of a bridge than do anything less admirable than MLM.
3) Professional networkers know business and marketing is a numbers game. Amatuers think there is some trick or secret they will discover that will make it easy for them to have success, so they don't have to work hard.
Here's my professional formula for working the numbers...
A) Prospect 25 people a day five days a week that you send to your "funded proposal". Never try and present your MLM company first to "opportunity seekers" (leads)!
B) Follow-up with only the prospects that purchase the funded proposal.
C) When the prospects that you followed up become involved with the network marketing opportunity you are marketing, get them plugged into your teams training system (this starts creating the duplication). My teams training system is called Fast Track.
If you follow the above formula for one full year...POOF!!! You're at $20,000 to $30,000 a month in virtually any company out there. Those numbers don't vary and I've seen dozens of people succeed by sheer effort and tenacity once they learned this simple secret. It's all a numbers game.
I'll get much more specific about this in future articles.
