The Power of Sacrifice

Do you find yourself with too much month at the end of the money? 
Have you accumulated too much debt?  Do you have a child that needs
money for college?  Do you have a shortfall in retirement account?  If
you answered yes to any of these questions, what are you willing to
sacrifice to make more money, pay off your debts, save for college, or
retire with dignity?  The answer to that question is not easy and even
if you are willing to sacrifice a lot, how to do you decide what to do?


What if you committed yourself to building a business?  What would
like commitment look ...<< MORE >>

The Power of Reading, Are Your a Reader?


We’ve all heard that lifelong
readers do better at pretty much anything.  How important is reading? 
Here are some interesting statistics associated with reading (from the
website . http://www.readfaster.com/education_stats.asp#literacystatistics.)


More than 20 percent of adults read at or below a fifth-grade level—far below the level needed to earn a living wage.


56 percent of young people say they read more than
10 books a year, with middle school students reading the most. Some 70
percent of middle school students read more than 10 books a year,
compared with only 49 percent of high school students

Is Your Upline Lifting You Up?

A common term in multilevel or network marketing is your upline. 
Who is your upline?  Your immediate upline is the person that brought
you the opportunity and signed you up with the company.  You upline is
also the person that signed them up and so on until you get to the very
top of the company.  The person that brought you into the company can
be very instrumental to your future success.  Your access to people
higher up in the upline can also be a determining factor for your
future success.  What can you expect from you upline?


Your immediate upline (the person that signed you up), should ...<< MORE >>

Looking for Leads in All the Wrong Places

If you are involved in any kind of business that involves sponsoring or enrolling, you know that to effectively build your business at some point you need to get contacts—a lot of contacts, otherwise known as leads.  You can start with your friends and family, but those soon run out.  You can try to find your own leads (phonebook, your own website, etc.), but you are trying to sponsor or enroll people that may not be interested in your business (or any business for that matter).  If you do too much emailing to random people, you might even get accused of being a spammer!

Finding good leads and an effective system on how to use them can be very difficult.  You can do an internet search and you will find many companies that sell leads.  There is also a very large price range for individual leads—anywhere from pennies for each lead to $50 or more.  But how do you narrow down the choices to get the leads that will be interested in your business?  You need to ask some important questions when you are looking to buy leads.

The first question you need to ask is where the company is getting the leads.  Some have capture websites, some run television ads, and many other sources.  The best sources are where the person has at least expressed an interest in some kind of business.  The very best leads are people that have expressed an interest specifically in your kind of business.  Because those types of leads require the most effort on the part of the company, as you might expect, they can also be the most expensive.

Another important question is how old are the leads.  If the leads are too old, the information won’t be accurate, people may not be interested any more, they may not even remember ever signing up for information.  Some companies sell their leads to multiple people. 

If you area paying a lot of money for leads, you should expect some guarantee from the company about the accuracy of the leads.  Some may even replace any leads you get that turn out to be inaccurate.

Before you go to the expense of purchasing leads, be sure you have a mechanism in place to use them.  This is usually in the form of an emailer program or a dialer program.  There are many of these programs available so, shop around.  Make sure you have the computing power for the system to work.  Trying to work the leads yourself by sending out individual emails or calling on the leads individually is inefficient.  No matter how much time you spend, you can’t get the volume you need to sort through the leads to find the ones that are really interested in working with you.

The final, and probably most important consideration is do you have the time to consistently follow up with the responses you get from people who are interested in your business.  If you don’t work consistently to follow up on your leads, you will lose most of them and you will waste potentially a great deal of money.

If you are in an MLM or network marketing company, work with you upline to develop a system to work your leads.  Sometimes you can even work leads as a group (and share the expense as well).

Leads and lead systems are an important component to building your business.  Take your time and make sure you know how to work your system before you start spending money on leads.  Also remember that when purchasing leads, you get what you pay for.

Dietary Supplements and Multi-level Marketing: part 2 Claims and Disclaimers

Dietary supplements always carry the same disclaimer:  “This
statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.  This product is no
intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”  If the
supplement is not intended to do anything, then why take it?  What
about all those testimonials from people who have taken the product and
had some kind of positive reaction.  Keep in mind that the statement
says that it is not intended to work on any DISEASE.  Many supplements
advertise non-medicinal benefits—more energy, a better night’s sleep,
or better mental awareness.  Basically it will help with something in
our life that we find a problem, but not necessarily ...<< MORE >>

Dietary Supplements and Multi-level Marketing: Why Do Companies Jump on the Bandwagon?

If you have done any kind of web search for multi-level marketing, it
will not take long before you discover that many multi-level companies
involve dietary supplements of some type, particularly juices. If you
have spent any time on the website for those companies, you may have
been overwhelmed by the sheer number of supplements available (not to
mention the various claims associated with these various supplements).
Why are there so many different supplements from so many different
companies? How can you tell whether they really work or not?



Why are there so many different supplements? The same reason there are
so many different drugs (even for the same ...<< MORE >>

Is Network Marketing the Career for You? Risk

If you have ever taken a personality test, one of the things the
questions are designed to determine is your ability to handle risk.
Let’s face it, some of us are adrenaline junkies and live to take
risks. Others need security and are very risk adverse. Both kinds can
do well in network marketing, but they may approach it in different
ways or join different companies.



People that like to take chances are definitely well suited to the
network marketing business. These people will take the bull by the
horns and go for it. They like the challenge that network marketing can
offer. They love the thrill of ...<< MORE >>

Is Network Marketing the Career for You? Career Change

There are lots of career choices that anyone of us can make. Studies
show that most people change careers along the way—on average about
three times. There are many reasons that people change careers.
Sometimes those career changes come about because we are exposed to a
type of work we were perhaps not familiar with in the years when we
were making our first career choices. Other career changes come about
because we find that we are unhappy or dissatisfied with our current
job or career. A third reason is because we want a different lifestyle.
Maybe we want to work part-time or we need flexibility. Whatever the
reason, ...<< MORE >>

Can you be Clean, Green,and Legal?


You may have seen something on
the news about Spokane, Washington where there is now a ban on
dishwasher detergent make with phosphates. While this may seem to be an
isolated case, there are actually several states (including the rest of
the state of Washington) that will make dishwashing soap made with
phosphates above a very small level illegal in 2010.


What is phosphate anyway and why is it used in dishwashing soap? 
Phosphate is an inorganic chemical that is a combination of salt and
phosphoric acid.  Because it can clean things like hard water stains,
and grease, phosphates ...<< MORE >>
