From the moment we're born, our mind is sucking up information, storing it away and using it to create an internal map
of who you are and what your relationship is to the rest of the world. This internal map of reality is what creates the internal
experiences you have and the external results you get in life. A lot of these things happen unconsiously outside of our awareness.
this means that our minds create results that we don't want, without our being able to see how they are generated, the…

When you make assumptions and think you know what people are saying, in effect you stop listening.
When you stop listening, you create resistance and people go away. This can be frustrating for you and the
prospect, a conversation that could take 10 minutes can turn into an hour long event. The real flaw here is that
a lot of people have terrible listening skills. Sometimes we hear only what we want to hear and when that happens the conversation
drifts into the oppisite direction of why you c…

I don't propose to speak for you but in these hard economic times I have to make absolutely positive where each and every dollar is going and why its going there.
I not only trimmed the fat from my marketing campaign, I also trimmed the fat from my personal budget. There was a time that my marketing campaign was so messed up that I had to
go to my bank and change my card number because money was coming out of my account that I couldn't track down. I was a newbie and was all over the place and…

Although you can't run the whole show behind your computer there is something to be said for using your computer correctly
in your network marketing campaign. I normally preach about how you need to use OFFLINE as well as online techniques the importance of
marketing online can't be ignored. At some point you'll have to step away from the computer and get involved in person to person contact
but this blog is concentrated on your online campaign. The net can give you great opportunities and yo…

I train my team how to avoid the BIG MISTAKES in network marketing, I realise they're excited to get started. After all, most
of them were told in the past by other sponsors that all they had to do was make a list and start calling everyone they know right?
Well I'm here to tell you that its the first BIG mistake and if you follow this advice you'll be having Christmas dinner alone this holiday
season and an honorary member of the NFL club. The no friends left club. So what's the first thing…

I see it everyday, people jumping ship thinking they can solve the problem by joining another company, trust me, you're
not going to find it. People who jump ship don't make it. They THINK the answer is in another product, another team, another comp. plan.
The answer lies within YOU. Take a look around, if people are making money in your company and you're not, the answer is YOU. It isn't te comp.
plan's fault, your sponsor's fault, your products fault, Its YOUR fault. The good news is that i…

Want better search campaign conversion rates?
One tried and true technique is to time the scheduling of your campaigns to maximize your marketing spending. For many b2b search marketing campaigns should be pointed at visitors who are more likely to make a call for information during normal business hours rather than filling out a form on your web site. Scheduling your ads to appear when your kind of customer is online is only common sense. If your campaign is running outside of normal business…

Think about it for a moment, it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. If 97% of network marketers are failing and spending more than they're making something is very wrong here and Houston, we have a problem. You give your all to your business, you even stayed with it when your family and friends laughed at you. You stayed with it even when you got in trouble with your bank when it was taking money from your account that you didn't know about and here you were wondering why your account wa…

Don't Buy Everything
It never ceases to amaze me why some people think they have to buy into all the biz. opps. they're interested in when all they have to do is join the company's affiliate program for free.
Most of these companies have affiliate programs that you can join for free, that way you can better gauge if you can sell it or not. There's no need to spend money on something that
you can check out for free. It also troubles me to think that a lot of people are joining these downlines an…

Total Confusion, an exerp from the report.

Think Like A Marketer Not Like A Mark
i'm looking at all this overblown hype about pre-launches and can't believe where reality begins and ends, I'm learning a valuable lesson from all this. The main thing I'm learning is that I can't get emotionally involved in any of this sensationalism. I can't pull out my wallet on auto-pilot, we all know how far to go when we feel another network marketer has crossed the line in their marketing practices. I've decided to cut a lot of this crap loose and…

Network Marketing Is Strange
Its funny but when you become involved with network marketing something happens to your brain, you begin to think differently than any other time in your life. Even when you're out and about you see the world in a completely different way, you're totally in tune with advertisements you see and you notice that you critique marketing strategies you see in your travels. Looking at the good and bad points of other business peoples marketing, ad placement and impulse…

Get Your Feet Wet
I suggest you start off small at first and see if it converts before scaling up to the large numbers. There's no point risking a lot of money on something when you can do a small test first to see if it converts. Test and track everything, the most critical thing you MUST do when buying paid traffic is to test and track. That means every source you buy from while paying close attention to the matrics. What you have to do is stop buying the advertising that loses you money,…
