Will You Stay or Will You Go?
Newbusinesses, for the most part, are susceptible to failure, particularlyin their first five years of business. According to the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration, over 50% of small businesses fail in the firstyear and 95% will close within the first five years (although notalways because of failure) http://www.sba.gov/advo/stats/bh_sbe03.pdf. Although it is difficult to come up with hard numbers, you can be surethat the same is true of multi-level marketing companies.
So how do you balance the risk with the opportunities available? Ifyou get a chance to get in on the ground level of a ...<< MORE >>
What’s Your Story?
Ifyou have ever gotten a job, any job, you have a story to tell about howyou got that job, how you came to be in that business, etc. The sameis true of multilevel marketing. Everyone has a story of how they gotstarted, who told them about the business, and how their life haschanged. Sometimes your story is the only verbal contact you will havewith someone, so you need to make it good!
While everyone may have a story, not everyone has mastered tellingtheir story. Sometimes we get so excited about our business, ...<< MORE >>
Is It Finally Your Time?
At some point in our lives, most of us have wondered 'when will it be my time?' We work, we take care of our kids, and we take care of our parents, our spouse, and our house--pretty much everything. And we get older. Nothing seems to change and it seems like we are doomed to a mediocre existence.
We see opportunities come and go and we wonder if we will ever have a chance. But why not now? Why not take that chance? There will always be reasons not to take a chance but why not think of all the reasons to take a chance. What would you do if you were guaranteed not to fail? What if you could take a small chance and try something that could change your life? Change your future and your family’s future, your grandchildren’s future, your great-grandchildren’s future? Would you do it? Or have you been beaten down so many times that you are afraid to take chances any more. Maybe you think you are too old, too young, too…you fill in the blank.
There are companies that can offer you that chance. Minimal risk but big rewards. Does it happen automatically? Of course not. Does it happen overnight? Nope. Do you have to have a ton of experience? Absolutely not. Will it be easy? Maybe not but it can be fun. You can meet new people, learn something new and maybe even make a little money in the process. If you are willing to learn, willing to work consistently, and are coachable, you could earn a lot of money--a whole lot of money. But you will never know unless you take that first step. It's your time and your chance. Take advantage of it! It is never too late and you are never too old unless you think you are!

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

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

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?

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 >>

Is Network Marketing the Career for You? Risk
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.
