MLM Skills Training – Why the System Matters

15 Jun

You have a new business partner. They made the decision to join you on this life changing journey. In order for them to get to this point, they had to invest some money and time. Now that they’ve agreed, your new partner is going to have to figure out a way to meet new people, risk rejection, dedicate time to learn new skills, and a lot more. For some, these actions can be hard emotionally.

For me personally, most times I’ve decided to expand myself and go for something new, the second I’ve said yes and committed my Lizard Brain begins to create all sorts of reasons why this will not work for me. My emotions begin to get all wrapped up in the imagined difficulty of the task.

As a leader in the network marketing profession it is critical that you have a way of helping your new partner keep their Lizard Brain at bay. So how do you keep the Lizard away?

BELIEF

By building up your new partners belief in their ability to build this business. What if you too are just starting out and you are just barley keeping your own Lizard at bay. Do you have to do this all alone?  NO This is where your MLM skills training system will come into play. Your Tribe of cheerleaders will be there to help you.

Yes I realize there are a lot of people out on the internet selling their systems. Telling you on their video’s and with their marketing that they put hundreds of people into their down line in 3 days. But, where they their for those people when the Lizard attacked? And you know he will.

Most people in the profession of network marketing are building their business along side their full-time job. Knowing this fact makes it vital to your success to have a network marketing skills training system that includes a tribe of people that are willing to help you build your people. Build their BELIEF. A way for your new partner to have a person to reach out to no matter where they are in the world.

Once I understood and realized how vital it was to have a Tribe of supportive, live people available for my new partner to talk to, even if I was 35,000 feet in the air, I knew that I’d found a priceless gift with the Mentoring for Free System.

Expect Success,

Avartar – Can you find Network Marketing Help in a Movie?

14 Jun

Network Marketing help from the movie AVATAR? In my opinion what is happening in some of the network marketing companies out there was portrayed very well in the movie.  There are companies out there with management teams who are full of intense desire for wealth and money. When this happens, their ego begins to run the show. The management team will let nothing get in the way of their own personal agenda. This type of behavior can be found in both the traditional business setting as well as the network marketing business model.

My desire with this post is to help empower individuals seeking to make an income with an MLM company by explaining why and how your company management will affect your own personal business success.

Everybody knows that publicly traded companies are held accountable to the shareholders. Most people understand that those shareholders will demand a portion of the profits.  If you are involved or considering a network marketing company that is publicly traded, understand that a portion of the profits will go to the shareholders before it ever begins to get divided up to the individuals marketing the products. Remember AVATAR? Who was making all the demands to do whatever it took?

Another important thing to take into consideration when choosing a multi level marketing company are your companies Policies and Procedures. Most people do not bother to read their P&P. If it is in there, they can and will use it.  I have five friends right now being terminated from there company because of an “at will” clause in their policies and procedures. One day they had a check, the next day they did not.

I’ve never understood why most people in a network marketing  make a really big point of telling their prospects about the jets, big offices, hugh office staff, and various other assets the company executives have. Personally, in my job as a flight attendant, I get extremely angry when my company cuts my benefits and my hourly rate while at the same time giving the top executives a bonus. Remember AVATAR? Company willing to do anything to get that resource.

Why would this be any different in the business realm of MLM? How you get paid (the compensation plan) will be designed to cover the expenses of all those executive perks. There will be so many hoops for you to jump through to get paid. Also, the price of your products will be priced to help cover these “extras”. Thus making it ever harder for you to sell.

Now, you might be in a company, having your own personal success, kinda like Jake when he was able to walk while in his Avatar form; however you have slowly begun to notice somethings just dosen’t seem right.  You personally, like Jake, are enjoying being able to “walk” and make some extra money with your MLM, but your team is really struggling.

If you are ready to find out why, then download this free e-book.

My purpose here to empower you with education,

Courage to Fail

07 Jun

Just the other day, I read an interesting story about a scientific study known as the “Pike Syndrome”. Apparently some scientist in Canada did an experiment where they placed a large Pike fish into a glass tank with small minnows. The two spices of fish where separated by a glass partition. Pike will eat any fish small and slow enough to catch. Their teeth are sharp and resemble needles. I’m not sure how long it took, but the scientist left the glass divider in between the two spices of fish long enough for the Pike to give up on trying to catch the smaller fish. While the Pike was attempting to catch the smaller minnows, it repeated hit its nose on the invisible glass barrier. When the Pike finally gave up, they removed the glass divider.

What do you think happen when the glass partition was removed?

Nope…..The pike stayed on its side of the tank, swimming in circles with food only inches away!

We as human being are designed to keep asking for want we want. Have you ever noticed a young child that wants a cookie in the grocery story? This child will keep asking and asking even though their Mom has told them NO three or for times already. Eventually, they do get that cookie. Then something happens to us somewhere between the ages of 8 and 12. Very much like the Pike, we finally give up. We stop asking because we really, really just don’t like to hear that word NO or we begin to get programed that NO is some how a bad thing. It is in some way failure. Everybody knows that most people believe failure is bad, very, very bad.

I share this with you because the Pike Syndrome story helped me to realize that I had put self-imposed barriers around myself. Even though with the education and skills I’ve learned with Mentoring for Free, I’ve joined a 5 Pillars Network Marketing business opportunity, I was NOT moving forward as quickly as I would like to toward my goal for Freedom from a boss. Even though I was asking myself WHY and searching within myself for answers, I was stuck.

What has my problem been? My problem was a simple one and all too common. I was afraid of failing. I was truly afraid of rejection. What changed for me? Listening to this interview with John Milton Fogg and the founders of Courage Crafters. As I was listening, it was like the fog was lifted from my head and the sun had come shinning in. I realized 2 things. First, what was holding me back – fear of failure. Second that failure (or hearing no) is the halfway mark on the road to success.

Now I am on the path of actively seeking the opportunity to interact with people so that I can use the “Magic Sequence” of words I’ve been learning from Tom “Big Al” Schreiter.  This new path is allowing me to become competent then confident and then comfortable with success. What that means is that I am willing to go through the half way mark of failure to get to success.

My purpose and desire here is to empower you to believe in yourself enough to know that you too can create your own success. If you would like me to help you, then just let me know.

The Secret to overcoming Fear of Failure

02 Jun

I love my life, I really do. My fun loving energetic personality loves the novelty of committing to work by airplane, then meeting new people each and every time I go to work. Everybody knows that summer brings on vacation time. Which brings on more flights for those of us in the airline industry to work, more fun places to go, more people to meet. This also brings the requirement of being gone away from home more days. Thus more things to balance in life.

Each year when May comes around with the added travel and work load it takes me a couple of weeks to get myself back into balance. This week, I put in 41 hours at 35,000 feet, commuted home for my two days off, do laundry, pay bills, clean, spend time with my hubby and do some networking for my home business.  Just this morning, I was running late to my weekly Tri-State Business Networking meeting. I had myself  in such a rushed state, I was on autopilot driving the car to the meeting. I park the car, rush into the building, hit 4 on the elevator, the door opens and I’m in the wrong place! I know for a fact I’m in the right location for the meeting on Wednesday, so I’m just thinking that maybe it is floor 3 not 4. My schedule has not permitted me to attend a meeting for about 4 weeks, so I’m thinking I just forgot what floor the meeting was on. So, I hit the 3 button. Door opens – no that’s not it either. Then it hits me, I must be in the wrong building. Now, not only am I late, I’m embarrassed and frustrated with myself. I don’t like being late, embarrassed or frustrated. My fear of failure is really starting to creep in.

MLM is a lot like the rest of your life. When you are trying to achieve a goal, especially in an area that is new to you, you are not going to do it in a straight line. There will always be some setbacks. So just be aware of that and be prepared to handle the frustrations. The best way I’ve found to do this is to have a really, really big reason and meaningful reason to be successful. The bigger your reason, the more it ties into what you value in life, the tougher it will be for you to give up when times get tough. As you’re getting started, it’s crucial to picture your reason and write it out and look at it and think about it every day. Ask yourself, “What REALLY gets me excited?” “What do I really value in life?”

What type of things have you done that you really loved – or hated? Is there something you’d do forever, even if you weren’t getting paid for it? What do you most like to do in your free time? When you’re very successful, what changes will you make in your lifestyle? How do you act with the people you are closest to, and are you in the best possible position to create those relationships the way you want them to be? What changes would you see in those relationships if you had no money problems? Would you devote more time to spend with the people you love if you didn’t have to commute to a job every day?

When you know the answers to questions like these, you have a foundation for your long term drive and goal that will allow you to keep moving toward your MLM success. I could have very easily given up on making the Tri-State Business Networking meeting all together this morning. I can honestly tell you that my burning desire for happiness, balance, financial independence, recognition, and intimacy all equal freedom for me. Freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want with whom ever I want. My drive for freedom is what kept me moving away from my fear of failure and toward my goal and attending the meeting instead of quitting on myself and heading home.

Expect Success,

Debi Talbert

Cure Fear – However you Might Fail

25 May
Caiman Lizard (Dracaena guianensis)
Image via Wikipedia

Cure fear, what if I fail? Ok yes, I said it. You know you are thinking it. Somewhere in your mind you are thinking this.

Seth Godin in his book Linchpin calls it the Lizard brain, Michael Dlouhy on his weekly Wednesday Master Mind calls refers to it as the six “ghost of fear” and Tom “Big Al” Schreiter refers to it as the sub-conscience brain, which by the way is the size of a hotel.

I don’t know about you, but every time I make a decision to attempt something new, there is another voice in my head telling me I can’t. Actually, I’m a Gemini, so I have more than one voice, but in any case, the goal here is to find a way to put IT into snooze mode. There is no getting rid of IT; however you can most definitely create habits and plans to make IT go to sleep.  After all, IF YOU allow IT to keep you from taking action steps toward your dreams your current circumstances with not change.

The times I’ve allowed IT to stay in my head too long are exhausting. The on going fight between IT and the part of me that wants to create and develop my own business is down right exhausting. Kind of reminds me when my daughter was a teenager. Everything was a consistent battle. One of the best things I’ve done to help put IT in snooze mode is change the way I think of failure. I gave myself an empowering definition of failure. Because while I was operating from the position that failure was a bad thing, something undesirable, IT (The Lizard Brain) was wide awake in my head.

A important factor when you start to rethink how you feel about how to cure fear of failure is making sure that you understand that failure is tied to your emotions. The reason why this is important is because our built-in desire is to protect our physical life. Everybody knows we have a build it fight or flight response system. If you don’t understand that failure is tied to your emotions, then you run the risk of allowing your natural tendency to avoid risk get in your way of taking action.

Another important consideration for creating a new way of thinking about failure is to realize you are creating a whole new paradigm around what failure is or is not. Because this is about letting go of what has been holding you back from living a life that you are passionate about.

Have you considered that taking action on something you are afraid of is more like exercising your “courage” muscle. Most people realize that if you don’t use your muscles, then you lose them. You become weak, sluggish and flabby. What if you decided that in order to cure fear you need to use courage. Taking action even though you might fear you might fail, is like exercising a muscle.  At first you would feel a little clumsy and uncomfortable; however over time you would become confident and begin to create successes.

It’s not as difficult as you might think. I’ve been there, and I’m now on a mission to keep IT (The Lizard Brain) in the snooze mode.

I hope you will join me,
