Persistence, I Will Until…

Is persistence necessary for success? Of course it is. Do negative things happen to us on the road to success? Yes and a lot of negative things.

So what do you do? How do you the handle negative things that cross your path? Or do you actually handle them or do you let them handle you? Think about it. Do you have the 'I will until' attitude?

When you have a family member of a close friend that wants to protect you from the awful things that will happen to you as you pursue your dreams, what do you do? Do you let them decide what your future will look like? Or do you decide? It is your future, not theirs. So you need to decide what you future will be. Do you have the 'I will until' attitude?

When you can't make a sale or sponsor any one into your business, what do you do? Do you get a bad attitude and want to quit? Or do you decide that your family's future is too important to quit on. Do you have the 'I will until' attitude?

Do some of your family members avoid you at family events because they think you might invite them to join you on the adventure of creating a better future for them and their family? Do you avoid them, or do you understand that they do not know what they are missing and decide that they are in no position to even know what you want for your future let alone create that future for you. Do you have the 'I will until' attitude?

How about when you are struggling to pay your basic bills and your mentor tells you that you need to go to the next function and you have no idea how you can pay for it. What is your attitude? Are you thinking that you can't go? Or are you thinking that your future is on the line, it is too important, and you have to go so you decide to go and then the financial solution appears and you make it there and get substantially more motivated. Do you have a 'I will until' attitude?

If you persist until you make it to your dreams. You now have the home you and your wife desired with all of the special furnishings she wanted. You are driving the automobile that you could only dream about a few years ago, and you have 2 of them. You are able to give substantially to the charities that are important to you and your spouse. Now look back at the problems, the negatives that you thought were so big, and you will laugh at how small and insignificant they really were.

Thank God for the ability to persist until you succeeded, for the mentors that encouraged all along the way and even the negatives that provided a special motivation and helped moved you along.

So, get the 'I will until' attitude and guard it all the way to your success, to the future that is waiting for you.

Courageous, The Movie – Review

I watched the movie Courageous last night. I knew it was a good movie already, but I was really impressed by the message of the movie; even tearful a few times.

I am the father of 4 sons and grandfather to 12 grandchildren. Like almost everybody else I want the best for them. Watch the trailer for the movie Courageous below and you will have a better understanding of my reasons for this post.

I heard a speaker years ago whose message was it is time for men, real men, to stand up, draw your sword, and defend your home and family. I was certainly very moved by his message.

Like this movie, Courageous, I was moved to really think about what kind of father I had been. I feel like I was a 'good enough' father too often. Being self-employed, I worked a lot and had too many sporting hobbies that took too much time. When I see my sons and consider their lives, I often wonder if their lives would have been better if I had been the 'best' father I could have been.

Now I pray for them daily and ask God to direct their lives and make them absolutely committed Christians, and the spiritual leader in their homes, so my grandchildren would have the 'best' lives they can. Of course I pray for my grandchildren daily also

Courageous the Movie Trailer

The movie Courageous tells the story of a few police officers in Georgia that are dealing with the same junk in their family lives that most of society has to deal with today. A tragedy happens and one of the officers decides to commit himself, to resolve, to be the best father he can be, with God's help. The other officers and an add-on character decide to do the same and then the real movie begins. Now they are tested.

If you are on the sidelines of life and not really committed to God, Satan will leave you alone as you are not bothering him or interfering with his plans in any way. But, if you decide to commit your life to following God's plan as closely as you can, then Satan will tempt you and attempt to sideline you so your witness is reduced or eliminated altogether.

So men, you must decide what your family is worth to you. Will you defend them? You must decide if your relationship to your Creator is important to you. Will you stand for God and He died for you? Remember, only what you do for God can you take to heaven with you. Everything else is burned up.

I recommend this movie, Courageous. And I recommend that the real men do stand up and defend their homes, their families, and their honor. Make God proud of you.

On judgment day will He say, "Well done good and faithful servant?"

Courageous, The Movie – Review

THIS BLESSING WILL CHANGE YOUR THINKING

Unknown Author

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. 

       As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene. One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. 

        Days, weeks and months passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed. 

                                                                It faced a blank wall.

        The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
                            She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.' 
 
                                                                     Epilogue 
           There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

                  Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled!

          If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

                        'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.'

Can "You" Juice to Lose Weight?

I was thinking about losing some weight, or actually some inches around my waist. I had learned that the hard stomach fat, like I had, was the worst kind of fat for your health.

As an Internet Marketer, back around Nov. First, I was watching a webinar about video marketing and the speaker held up a glass of juice as a personal demonstration of how video causes people to act.

He had watched a documentary called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and it caused him to juice to lose weight. He juiced his vegetables and fruit, I assume.

Well this caused me to watch that documentary on Netflix, while I was eating my pizza for lunch. But I did start juicing just my lunch and did lose a few pounds before Thanksgiving, but I ate whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted over the holidays. I was not ready to juice to lose weight until after the holidays.

I bought a new juicer on New Years Day from Dillard's, on sale of course, and on Jan 3rd I started juicing only, for 10 days. I was at 226.6 lbs and 31.5% body fat with 46.5' around my waist, measured at my belly button. I still wear 36" jeans but they are lower on my waist.

Juice to Lose Weight

For the first 10 days I followed this regiment:

• 6:45 am – Drink a large glass of water and took my multimineral/multivitamin
• 7:00 am – Large bowl of Fiber One cereal for breakfast – to get the fiber you do not get when just juicing.
• 10:00 am – I used a blender to make a fruit smoothie with banana, strawberries, and mixed fruit I had bought frozen.
• 1:00 to 1:30 pm – I juiced a bunch of vegetables including cucumber, carrots, broccoli, celery, tomato, onion, bell pepper, green apple, lettuce, and Chinese cabbage, and a little protein powder as protein is also something you do not get when juicing..
• 5:30 tpo 6:00 pm – Then at dinner I would blend another fruit smoothie just like the one I had in the morning.
• 8:00 to 9:00 pm – Also I would eat  a handful f almonds later in the evening with a bottle of water.

After the initial 10 days, I had lost 10 lbs and 3% body fat and 1.5" at my waist.

From the 14th day on I have been juicing during the day but eating a regular meal at dinner, which is about 5:30 to 6:00 pm for me.

Today is Jan.26th, 23 days since I started, and this morning I was down 16 lbs (210.8), 5% body fat (26.8%), and 2.5" (44") off of my waist. I am pleased.

I understand that if you juice to lost weight, it works so great because our digestive systems are already messed up by our current diets and cannot function properly even if we eat fresh vegetables and fruits. But by juicing them we are breaking them up where our systems can adsorb the nutrients from the juice.

Any one wishing to get healthier and/or lost weight, I recommend you juice to lose weight as it has worked great for me.

How do we understand people?

You must learn to understand people as it is fundamental if you desire to have tremendous success in the mlm industry. So the question becomes how do we understand other people when understanding ourselves is almost impossible.

We all have heard and experienced the problems with understanding our spouses, and all of the jokes of understanding our wives or women in general like this one:

Once upon a time, there was a man. A genie appeared to the man, and offered him one wish.

"Well," said the man, "I've always wanted to go to Fiji, but plane tickets are so expensive, and boats are so slow. Can you build a bridge from Los Angeles to Fiji?"

"I'm sorry, man," the genie said. "You're pretty much asking for the impossible. That's six thousand miles of bridge. Plus, you'll need fuel stations and motels on the way. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to ask for something else."

"Oh," said the disappointed man. "Well, can you grant me the ability to understand women?"

The genie cleared his throat. "How many lanes did you want on that bridge?"

——————————–

To create the success you desire in your mlm business you must learn to understand people and develop the people skills required to work with them. People are different and you cannot treat everybody the same. Remember people will not join your team because of the products but because of you. People join people. So get to work learning to understand people.

When you are promoting your next business event you need to know how to promote to the different type of people. This will give you a guideline to use to help you in working with the people in your team.

If you have read “Personality Plus” or “Personality Profiles” then you will follow my logic quite easily. They are both great books. This information is about 3,000 years old as even Hippocrates mentioned it.

People are divided by whether they are outgoing or reserved, see the graph, and whether they are people oriented or task oriented. Find yourself on this scale and then you can begin to understand yourself a little better.  Ask yourself if you are more outgoing or reserved, and are you more task oriented or people oriented? Then ask yourself where your people on your team are on this graph to begin to understand them better.

The people on your team are all over the graph and you will need to learn have to work with them and especially how to promote to them.

The different Personality Types are:

High D also called Choleric or color Red: The High “D” person is very driven, The “D” stands for Dominate, Demanding Doer. These people get everything started, but they want to do everything their way and right now. They do love a challenge. High D’s are also called Alpha’s. They can be great leaders once they learn to be servant leaders and not so focused on their own goals, which they almost always have. They are usually right to the point in their conversation, so do not think they are impersonal on purpose.

Promoting to High D’s is as easy as telling them that all of the leaders will be there and since they are natural leaders, at least in their own mind, they will go to the event.

High I, also called Sanguine or color Blue: The high “I” stands for Influencing. They are outgoing and people oriented. These people are all about having fun. And they remind the rest of us to have some fun along the way in this life. They usually like bright colors and they like to talk most of the time. They are very short term thinkers and do not pay attention to details at all. They usually lose things like their car keys and they even forget where they parked. They frequently are late as they pay little attention to the time. At the end of the day they are thinking about people, who they talked to and who they will see tomorrow.

To promote your next business event to them you must tell them of all the fun they are going to have and since they love to travel and have fun, they will come.

High C, also called Melancholy or color Green: High C’s are very logical thinkers. The high “C” stands for Cautious. They are very detail oriented. Everything has a place and everything in its place type of person. The toilet paper must come over the top to be correct. They analyze everything and can be overly analytical. They are great a making list and getting things done and getting them off of their list. You must remind them to stop their analysis and get on with doing the work sometimes. These people are more comfortable with computers than people so they migrate to jobs as programmers and accountants.

When promoting to high C’s you need to inform them of all the details they will learn at the event.

High S, also called Phlegmatic or color Yellow: The High “S” stands for Sensitive. These are very friendly people who like being a part of a team. They are the people who are working in the background with others like the kitchen committee at your church. Be gentle with them as they will drop out if anybody yells at them or even if it is just a perceived yell. They are not motivated by goals, but enjoy working with people.

When you promote your next business event to them, you simply tell them about it and tell them to write you a check. They will obey.

So take the time to learn these basics to understand your people. Consider what are the personality types your main people in your team so you can better help them to grow and build their businesses and thus yours also. This will help you to create the mlm success your desire.

Is the fear of the phone causing you to stumble in achieving the success in your MLM business? It does for a lot of people. But it can be overcome rather easily or at least that was my experience.

Many people call this device Black Beauty based on the old black phones. It is the greatest thing ever invented to help you achieve success.

Following these four steps and you will also overcome this fear and begin to achieve the MLM success you desire.

One: Prepare your Mind. 

Two: Prepare yourself. 

Let's understand that this fear is not really a fear of the phone. The phone cannot hurt you, can it? It is not going to jump up and bite you on the arm. It is not even a fear of what your prospect might say to you over the phone is it? It is a fear of not knowing what to say to your prospect when they say something or ask something that you were not prepared for, right?

Learn as much as you can about your business and the opportunity you are presenting to you prospects. This gives you a knowledge comfort that you know what you are talking about.

Be careful to not get caught in the idea that you have to know everything before you start calling. Start calling right away and then you will learn the questions to ask your upline and mentors to get more knowledge. If you wait until you know everything you will never even start.

Three: Practice.

Get started calling people and remember that you are making money while your learn your trade of calling for dollars. The more you call and experience good and bad calls, the better you get at calling your prospects. Do worry about the bad calls. But do continue to counsel with your upline mentor so they can guide you in your progress and improve the speed of your improvement.

Four: Call with and for Your Team.

Calling with and for your team can be even easier for you since this prospect is not actually yours. I have heard many people tell me that it is for them. But if you can force yourself to call with and for team members then you can get even better at calling and that is your goal. As you get better at calling then you will get better results and move closer to the success you desire.

Also calling with and for your team helps you build more depth in your organization. And depth is where your wealth is created. so it is a great idea for you to help your team members and created even more wealth.

And helping them lets them see you do it and then they learn to do it also. This creates better team members with stronger leadership skills which creates a better/stronger team. A stronger team creates more wealth for you.

So get in the war on poverty and create your own wealth by dialing for dollars.

Many veteran Internet Marketers saw the Empower Network, and immediately dismissed it as the next shiny object to suck people in – never looking at the power behind it! What they are now finding out is that the Empower Network is an awesome tool that can be used by veteran and new marketers alike.  So what does the Empower Network have to offer the seasoned marketer that they don’t already have?

Even the powerhouse marketers know that when they bring someone into internet marketing, whether it’s through a marketing system or through a network marketing business, it can be LABOR INTENSIVE! So much so, that the seasoned marketer really doesn’t have time to deal with it all! You know the phone calls – ‘my autoresponder isn’t working’; ‘It has been 2 whole days, and I haven’t generated one lead’; ‘how do I connect the knee leg bone to the thigh bone’ – You know the calls, because you received them!

The Empower Network offers something that no other program can offer – a plug and play system that even a 6 year old could use! There is no ‘technical difficulty’. There shouldn’t be any calls that seem to take FOREVER to fix one little problem! Now, veteran marketers can market this system to their followers without worry of if the people they sponsor will be able to handle it. No more wondering if that new person is going to sink or swim!… If they’ll make any money… None of that!

The training in the Empower Network is a veteran marketers dream! The Fast Start training videos tell you EXACTLY what you need to do, when to do it, and how often! There is no need to have a ‘mastermind’ on basic marketing techniques. The Empower Network training videos and calls will do all that for you! Wooo…. Do I smell a little more freedom for veteran marketers to grow some more? Do I hear the voicemail emptying out to leave space for leads to leave a message, instead of a voicemail full of calls from junior marketers calling for help? You’d better believe it!

If you already have your own blog, I am willing to bet you’ve heard of the Empower Network. Just in case you haven’t, the Empower Network is an awesome blogging platform that allows anyone to be able to market online! When you sign up with the Empower Network you get a wordpress blog complete with hosting, lead capture page and sales funnel! This is as close to ‘just add water’ as you can get! Building backlinks from your Empower Network blog to your own personal blog will help build your credibility on the internet!

What does the Empower Network have to do with backlinking?

To understand what a quality backlink is, it is necessary to understand PageRank. PageRank was created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. Larry Page’s ‘webcrawler’ started in March 1996, starting from his own Stanford homepage. Page and Brin developed the PageRank algorithm to convert the backlink data into a measure of importance. You can Google Larry Page to get the rest of the story.

The Empower Network already has a PageRank of 1

PageRank has a rating of 0 to 10. When all sites start out, they start out at zero. Only sites like Google and Yahoo have a PageRank of 10. Sites like Ezines and Hubpages have a PageRank of about 5 or so. Personal blogs have a PageRank of 0 to 3 – on average. Some rank around 4 or 5. Achieving PageRank takes time, credibility, and backlinks (references). The higher your PageRank, the more ‘important’ the site is. The Empower Network is a month old, and has a PageRank of 1. Most sites take a year to get there.

Get quality backlinks by linking your blog to your Empower Network Blog

When your site has a backlink (reference) from a site with a PageRank the same or higher than yours, that is a ‘quality’ backlink. The more ‘quality’ backlinks you have, the more important your site appears to the search engines. When your site appears to be ‘important’, it will rank higher in the search engines. Since the Empower Network already has a PageRank of 1, connecting the two blogs will give you a quality backlink for your blog.

Action Step – Whenever you submit a blog post to your personal blog, connect it to a blog post on the Empower Network and vice versa.

Remember, the Empower Network isn’t just any ordinary blog. When you refer someone that signs up for an Empower Network blog, you receive 100% commission! If you’re blogging every day, this is an opportunity for you to blog and generate leads and income!

1.       Find networking groups in your area. You can use meetup.com to find groups you’re interested in. Because ANYBODY can use the Empower Network, just about ANYBODY will be a lead for you.

2.       Connect with other business owners. This is where this technique will get good to you! Ask them about their business and what a good prospect looks like for them. Focus on their business and what they need, AND THEN…

Ask how they are generating leads. Ask them if they ever considered marketing their business on the internet. Let them know that you can show them an easy cost-effective way to do it!

Sidenote: You will stand out for miles, because you’re not pitching your business. You’re helping others build theirs!

3.       Follow up! At these networking events, most people are pushing their business cards out! Your job is to take all of them! They’ll want yours, too, so have them available. The truth is that most people that attend networking events NEVER call. You get to be the different one! Your call back can be: Hi Joe, this is {your name}. We met at [networking event]. We talked briefly about marketing your [insert their business] online. You asked me to give you a call to discuss it further. [They are not going to remember whether they said  that or not!]

I recently joined the Empower Network and what a great choice it was! I can’t believe how easy it is! I have to tell you, I was amazed at what the Empower Network has to offer! I’m writing this post to share why I joined the Empower Network!

The highlight the Empower Network for me was the 100% commission payout. Other affiliate opportunities offer, at the most 75%. They are few and far between, and you have to comb Clickbank to find them. The Empower Network is so powerful and popular, I didn’t even have to look for it! AND, NOBODY pays instantly like EN! I mean, where else do you get your money the second somebody clicks submit to buy? I’ll tell you… NOWHERE! Even that ZNZ stuff that’s all over the internet waits 24 hours!

The system the Empower Network offers is so easy even a Caveman could do it’! You get a rockin’ plug and play wordpress blog that is off the chain! It already has a lead capture page, and a sales funnel that converts like nothing I’ve ever seen!  I have two words for you ‘IN-COME’.  Yeah I know it’s only one word, but you get point! The Empower Network sets you up for success on all kinds of levels. The system currently has 3 products available to purchase and resell. You make 100% commission on all those products too! I must mention that you MUST own the products in order to make the commission.  That only makes sense!

The way the Empower Network compensates you is like nothing I’ve ever seen! EN has a ‘Powerline’ pay system that rocks! This is how it works! You keep sales 1, 3, 5; 2, 4, 6 go to your sponsor and every 5^th one after that. I’ll admit that kinda rattled me a bit. Then I realized that I would be on the receiving end of that too! What this does is keep your sponsor engaged in your progress! If you don’t make any money, your sponsor doesn’t make any money. Other affiliate programs, your ‘sponsor’ just takes the money and run!

Since The Empower Network is based upon blogging, it is a natural fit for our members of LegendaryYou.com as we also attract prospect by blogging and the new people can make money faster with The Empower Network. THen after three to six months they will have income fomr both companies. Two income streams with the same effort.

Most importantly, I get the chance to learn from the Master Marketer David Wood! Everybody knows that David Wood is a true internet marketing genius! Is it worth the money to learn directly from David Wood? You better believe it is. This dude was homeless living in a van, and how he’s chillin’ in a house in Costa Rica! I want some Costa Rica livin’ too! It only makes sense to learn from the very person that can tell me how to do it!

The Empower Network has the internet on fire! People are talking about it left and right. If you’re on Facebook, you’ve seen the ads 3 and 4 at a time. Everywhere you turn, someone is asking about Empower Network. If you’re new to the internet, you’re probably wondering what the Empower Network is all about. You’re also wondering if it’s for you.

The short answer is yes.  I’ll explain why.

Internet marketing is HUGE right now. Everybody that is alive is setting up their own blog. We here at LegendaryYou.com are recommending to our new people for them to set up their own blog also. There are approximately 17 million blogs, and that number is growing. People are using the internet to brand themselves and their businesses, and to earn affiliate income too. With so many blogs and websites out there, how is the newbie marketer going to be able to survive?

That’s where the Empower Network comes in!

Let’s pretend for a second that the Empower Network did not exist. Heck it’s only been around a second. Anyway, let’s say it didn’t exist. To market on the internet, you would need: a domain, hosting, a blog, a designer if you can’t build the blog yourself, a lead capture page, a sales funnel, and an autoresponder. Along with the autoresponder, you need an autoresponder series to market to your list as it develops. Each of these has a cost – both in time AND money.

With Empower Network, you get all of that in one fell swoop to the tune of $25 per month. The autoresponder alone would cost you $20 per month. For $25 per month, you will get a blog already set up. This isn’t just any blog. It is highly optimized, fully functional blog! The ‘secret’ to this blog is that the Empower Network provides a higher page rank, which allows your posts to get ranked higher and faster on search engines, such as Google. With an ordinary personal blog, you start out with a page rank of Zero – meaning the search engines don’t even know you’re alive.

One of the main problems internet marketers face is lack of marketing knowledge. As a new marketer, you need to learn how to market! The Empower Network offers you Fast Start Training by video. There is little left to chance, so that you learn how to market. The videos tell you EXACTLY what to do! The Empower Network has weekly conference calls designed to train you as a marketer… from the BEST internet marketer in the world!

As a new marketer, you are almost guaranteed to not make any money your first few months. While there are a few superstars out there, odds are you won’t be one of them. By using the Empower Network to get started, you have a smaller investment with a greater return. You earn 100% affiliate commission for every person you refer who signs up with the Empower Network. Did I mention you get that commission immediately? With every other company, you have to wait days and weeks to get paid! Not with Empower Network! Can you imagine the feeling of getting paid NOW?!

Are you ready to hit the ground running on the internet? Join me today in the Empower Network.

The new program Empower Network, developed by David Wood and David Sharp, is now open and available to join today. With 100% commissions, this program can be the vehicle that gives you the shortcut to success; making you money within days.

Mr Wood and Mr Sharp are both very successful in building their Internet businesses even though they both were absolutely broke just a few years ago.

Empower Network, EN, provides the following 10 benefits and unique positives for you.

1. Daily deposits – You get paid daily and not weekly or monthly.
2. Direct deposits – You get paid directly by the people you sponsor and by some of their people.
3. Ownership of relationship – You own the relationship with your people so you can promote your MLM opportunity like LegendaryYou or any other opportunity you wish to them. This is not available with most network marketing companies. The company owns that relationship and will not allow you to promote other opportunities to your people.
4. Not Network Marketing – EN is not network marketing so there is not a conflict with other network marketing companies that do not allow you to join another mlm opportunity.
5. Only $25 to start – The basic membership is only $25 per month so anyone that desires to earn additional income can join.
6. $100 Upsell – There is a $100 Inner Circle membership so you can greatly increase your income by buying this membership also and then have the resell rights to sell the Inner Circle membership to your people and get paid their $100 directly.
7. Only takes One to break even – Sponsoring only one other new person gives you your money back. It is not get 3 to get yours free, but only one since your get 100% commissions.
8. Based on Blogging – Since EN is based on blogging it is highly ranked in the search engines to help provide traffic to your blog and thus provides new members to you business.
9. EN promotes good morals and ethics which is the foundation with any long term successful business.
10. EN does all the selling. They provide the landing pages, the squeeze pages, the sales videos, etc. You just blog, tell others, and make money.

I also really like the blogging aspect since this is the method we teach to get new members to our LegendaryYou network marketing business. So EN is a great way to make money very quickly and and use it as a stepping stone to also build your LegendaryYou business and get two income streams with the same effort.

I joined EN and sponsored my first 2 people in one day. You can learn more and/or join also and I will teach you how to get free traffic to your EN blog and build your income quite quickly.

Success in your mlm business will give you freedom. We say we want to make more money. We say we want to quit our jobs. We say we want to travel more to exotic vacation places. But what we really want is FREEDOM.

Freedom means to make our own decisions about our own lives. We want to get up when we want; rather it is 6:00 am or noon. Freedom says we can go where we want, do what we want, where we want, with whom we want.

You may want a fancy sports car or you may not. You may want to go to your In-laws for the holiday or you may want to go to Hawaii. You might want to take your In-laws to Hawaii? But don’t you want to make that decision and not the bank or your employer because of the salary you make. I am speaking the truth, right. You want to make the decisions regarding your own life.

So how do you put yourself in the position that you can make all of these decisions? Can you write a popular song and make millions in royalties? Can you create the next Facebook type company? Can you create another McDonalds?

The McDonalds franchise business gives some people a way to build their own business by following the McDonalds system. You just have to have a million dollars to buy one. But if you don’t have a million dollars then you are left out in the cold.

So if you don’t already have a ton of money, special talent to create songs, etc., then what you need is a franchise like system that doesn’t cost you a ton of money. And where on earth can you find a low cost franchise type system so you can be taught what to do and have a proven pattern of success to follow?

That of course is what Network Marketing is all about. Every legitimate network marketing company has with it a proven pattern of success, a mlm success system, for you to follow and become as successful as you choose to be.

The MLM System does not cost you a million. It is available and affordable for anyone who really desires to be successful.

Therefore if freedom is what you desire, then find a good network marketing company and follow their system so you can have the success and the freedom you desire.

On your way to your success in whatever you have decided to pursue whether it is in traditional business, losing weight, or even your mlm business, you will have to go through these 3 steps; The dream, the struggle, and finally the victory. These are the required steps to your mlm success.

The Dream: The dream sets the stage for all of your success. You must have a dream clearly defined and written down if you are going to really succeed in any endeavor. This is the foundation of your success and all of your successes are built upon it.

Your motivation comes from how your dreams, and then your goals, that inspire you accomplish things. Without a very real dream, or a core desire as Jack Zufelt calls them, you will not do what is required to be successful. You will not persist.

Then you must decide to be successful, to achieve your dream. I mean actually decide that no matter what, no matter what struggles appear, no matter what anyone says to you or about you, no matter how many noes you get, no matter what happens to you on the way, YOU WILL PERSIST UNTIL YOU SUCCEED! You must have the ‘I WILL UNTIL… attitude.’

The Struggle: hat brings us to the struggle. There are very real steps or things you will be required to do to achieve success. But the first and by far the most important is the battle in your head. As Henry Ford (I think) once said, “If you believe you can or if you believe you can’t, you’re right.”

Then you will have to think, learn, and take action to get your success. The knowledge you currently have in your head has gotten you to where you are right now. So if you want to move forward and be ultimately very successful, then you will have to learn some new things. That makes sense doesn’t it? The infamous scientist, Albert Einstein, said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking we had when we created them.” Along the way you will improve your leadership skills and the people skills required for success.

There will be numerous struggles in your path to success. As I said earlier, they may be things your friends and family members say to you or about you. It does not matter if you have decided to persist until you succeed.

You might lose your job and really struggle financially. So what, you decided to persist until you succeed. So get another job and keep going. You, or a close family member, might get sick. Ok, do what you have to do and pick yourself up and keep going because you already decided to persist until you succeed.

Lots of things will happen but since you decided to persist until you succeed, you can do exactly that and reach your dreams.

The Victory: Then you will have your victory. You will have your dreams. You and your family will enjoy the fruits of your persistence and your success. Even the naysayers will now recognize your greatness. They will say ‘I always knew they would make it.’ Ha Ha.

Because you persisted, you are now out of debt, cash in hand, you can do the things you always wanted to do. You can travel to the beaches of the world without worries. You have FREEDOM!

And now you will be envied by those that did not persist and did not achieve their dreams. They will buy your audios and videos and books to learn what you did to be successful. And you will be happy to share your knowledge with them on how you achieved your mlm success.

We all want the easiest steps to success in mlm sponsoring, don’t we. We have read so many articles and blogs and watched so many videos on this subject, but we still struggle to sponsor new people. And sponsoring new people is an absolute requirement to achieve any level on success in any mlm business.

I believe we can break this down into 3 simple sounding steps to radically improve your success in sponsoring new people into your mlm business. 

Step 1. Defining what you really want. Some call this dreaming and others use goals. Jack Zufelt calls this your Core Desires. But you must have a real reason for building your mlm business or a thousand little interferences will keep you from doing what you need to do to achieve your success.

You can determine what you really want and even what your God given purpose is for your life. This is extremely important for you to determine to provide you the excitement and the drive for you to do all of the things, like prospecting, that are required in order for you to achieve your success. Without determining what your purpose, your dreams, your Core Desires, are will leave you unable to be successful. Your goals will drive you to success.

So take the time to search this out. Ask yourself what you really want. Get this fixed in your mind. Then create any necessary reminders of it and place them where you cannot miss seeing them and be reminded of where you are going and why.

Step 2. Learn from the Strangest Secret. Earl Nightingale did a speech which became a recording and started the entire self-improvement industry called “The Strangest Secret.” In this speech Mr. Nightingale pointed out that many people over history have figured out this secret. Everyone who figures this out thinks he is the first one to do so. He called it the Strangest Secret because it is not a secret at all.

The Strangest Secret is so simple most of us miss it as we are looking for something much more complicated. The Strangest Secret is We Become What We Think About. That is it; we become what we think about. So if you have determined what you really want and are now consumed by achieving it, then you are already thinking about getting your dream, your Core Desire.

If you are like me, then there are a lot of things you can think about during your day. But do any of them take you closer to the success you desire? You must focus your thinking attention on the things that will take you toward your success for your thoughts determine your destiny.

Step 3. The Common Denominator of Success. We are indebted to Albert Gray, from the insurance industry as Earl Nightingale was also, for publishing The Common Denominator of Success. After researching many successful and unsuccessful people, Mr. Gray found the common denominator of success and basically failure also.

The common denominator of success is successful people form the habit of doing the things that failures do not like to do. Unsuccessful people will not do what they do not like to do and will accept the results they get from only doing the things they like to do. Successful people do what they do not like to do in order to have the results they desire to have.

If you want financial freedom bad enough, then you will form the habit of prospecting and calling the people that probably do not want to talk to you at first. I know it is not comfortable at first, but it does get easier as you get better and better at prospecting.

So define what you want, constantly think about what you want, and form the habit of doing what you do not want to do, then you will have success. Then everyone will want to hear your secret to success in your mlm business.

I just had to post these pictures of Summer, my 8 year old granddaughter. We were at Disney World, The Holy Land Experience, and the Florida beach last week.

This is a short list of the 10 basic steps you need to do to achieve success in online mlm marketing. I assume you will follow the teaching of whoever your mentor is as they will have intimate knowledge of your unique situation and can better guide you personally. And if they are in your upline, they have a vested interest in you success.

It would take an entire book to explain all of the details regarding each of these ten steps but your training system and your mentor will explain all of these for you.

1. Define what you want. Clearly understand your Core Desires, as Jack Zufelt calls them. Your dreams are the only things that will motivate you when things aren’t working as you desire. Keep them clearly in front of you as the reminder of why you are doing this; building an online mlm business.
2. Commit yourself to your success. Make absolute commitments to yourself and your family that you will until. That is you will continue to give your best efforts to your success until you have it.
3. Find the Training system for you. Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is great and Mike basically has trained most of the people who are successful with an online mlm training system. MLSP might be the most successful online mlm training system and it has a rather complete set of training tools. If you decide to join either of them you can join with me by clicking your choice here. I recommend you join both of them. Your mentor may come from either your mlm company upline or from the training system you choose, or both.
4. Choose a mlm company that you believe in. You must believe in that company, in their products, in their management, and in their compensation plan.
5. Do your keyword research to decide what will be the focus and subject of your online efforts. The Google Keyword Tool is excellent for this. There are others like Traffic Travis, etc. This is important as your blog and blogpost will be optimized for your chosen keywords.
6. Setup all of the necessary accounts for your blog, etc. You will need a domain name, like larrysteele.com, a hosting account with GoDaddy or HostGator, Askismet, Onlywire, TribePro, and about 50 social sites; including Facebook and Twitter and YouTube. You will definitely need an autoresponder like iContact or aWeber.
7. Blog 5 to 7 times per week. You need to recreate a reputation of someone in the know about your chosen subject. This is accomplished by continuing to blog on all things related to your chosen subject and people will decide to follow you and optin to your list which is maintained by your autoresponder company.
8. Post your blogposts as articles on article hosting sites like eZineArticles and Better Networker. This allows people to find you through the articles and it helps create backlinks. Backlinks are where other webpages have a link to your page, your blogpost, and they help improve the ranking in the search engines for your blogposts.
9. Create videos from your blogposts and post them on YouTube and other video hosting sites. As with articles, videos allows people to find you through the videos and it helps create additional backlinks.
10. Persist until you succeed. Don’t let anything defer you from your goal of success in your online efforts to build your mlm business. Your success is there for you if you persist.

I wish you much success and feel free to contact me if I can help you.
