Here is an article by my friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy. It highlites the fact that you don’t have to change to be successful in Network Marketing. It was originally published on February 16th, 2006.

The heavy hitter guru tells you that YOU have to change. You have to become this “A” type personality. You have to learn all these closing techniques. You have to become a salesperson. Make a list of your friends & family, call them up, beat ‘em up.
What they want to do is turn YOU into that pushy, aggressive salesperson that 92% of the world’s population can’t stand.
They say, “Make a list of 100 people.” But 92% of everybody is sales-resistant. Like you, for instance. You don’t like to sell, don’t like to be sold, and you’ll run from a salesperson. “Dive, dive, dive. Down periscope. Scotty, we’re outta here!”
Ninety-two percent of everybody will absolutely run.
Here’s the truth. Read the rest of this entry »

Your mind is being programmed everyday. Either you’re doing it yourself, or somebody else is. If you’re not in charge, then you’ll really struggle for success in network marketing.
Are you letting the radio, the TV, the internet, the newspaper, or friends & family program you? If you are, then you are definitely being programmed for lack & limitation.
If you’re in your car with the radio on, that radio has a tuner. You can tune in hundreds of radio stations. Those radio waves bombard you with negativity all day long. You are being programmed.
Do you turn the TV on and just leave it on while you’re home? Again, you’re getting constant programming. This stuff, at best, is trivial. At the worst, it’s very, very negative.
And when you’re programmed Read the rest of this entry »

Do you know how to find your heart’s desire? How do you know when you’ve found it? What is a heart’s desire?
In life and especially when you’re looking to start a business from home, the reasons why you do something and how successful you are at it very much depends on how motivated you are. And motivation comes from your heart’s desire. No one else can motivate you, the spark must already exist inside of you. Others can only fan that spark into a flame.
Let’s look at a common theme Read the rest of this entry »

Here is another superb article written by my friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy. It was originally published on February 22nd, 2006.

Watch out for your viperous MLM upline! They can get you good.
You need to make it a point to know who your upline is. I just spoke with a lady last night on a 3-way phone call. She was the first woman in this network marketing company who built so quickly that she went to the top of the payplan in 4 months.
Her upline was envious and jealous. And part of her network marketing strategy was NOT to read the company Policies & Procedures. Bad, bad combination.
Before You Ever Join Any Company, Thoroughly Read Your P & Ps
Before this lady built the program, she did tell the company that her fiance was promoting another MLM company.
But guess what? Her company’s Policies & Procedures state that Read the rest of this entry »
Here is an article by my friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy. It blows wide open the myth of “Spillover”. It was originally published on February 20th, 2006.
—————————————————————————————–
A caller recently told me he’s joining an MLM company because they promised him spillover. I said, “They are lying to you!”
The guy called me back later and said, “I point-blank asked them if I’d get people put underneath me, and the guy said, ‘Well, we can’t guarantee that.’”
Spillover – Creating a Welfare Mentality
Good people don’t want welfare. They want to build it themselves. They just want to learn the skills they need to build this business and create residual income, money that’s coming in week after week, year after year, and they can will it to their children’s children.
When you look at a lot of network marketing websites, you often see that word “spillover.” The proposition, more or less, is, “get in now, today, and you’ll get all this spillover.”
In 27 years, I have never, ever, ever seen anybody get spillover, having somebody build it for them.
And if you look closely at the compensation plans of the companies that promote spillover, you’ll find out that those who get spillover Read the rest of this entry »

EVERY Olympic athlete has a coach. The top ones hire their own personal coach.
I’ve had my own mentor-coach in network marketing since 1991. One person actually once told me he thought it was a weakness for “people like you to admit that you need a coach to help you.”
A weakness???
I replied that having a coach was (and is) one of the smartest things I have ever done.
A coach keeps you accountable and focused. There are just soooooo many opportunities in life to get sidetracked.
Pro athletes like Tiger Woods, Bobby Bonds, Peyton Manning, all the big stars, have several coaches. Each coach teaches their own specialty.
How To Choose A Coach
I’ve been married almost 35 years. If I wanted marriage counselling, would I talk to someone who’s never been married? How about someone who’s graduated from college with 3 or 4 degrees and never been married? Would I go to someone who’s been married for 2 years or 5 years, when I’ve been married for 34 years? Would I go to someone married 10 years, with no children?
Or would I talk to someone who’s been married 30 or 40 years or more and who has raised a couple healthy, happy kids?
Who would you want to get your coaching from? Somebody who has experienced it, or somebody who hasn’t?
Many of the coaches today in network marketing have never Read the rest of this entry »
Is MLM just a bunch of scammers and crooks? Well ….. no. But you see, if you get into the wrong company, you could end up dead (figuratively speaking).
Let’s look at the experiences of David who tried network marketing (the idea of this story is based on a real person’s experiences, the names and figures have been changed). David’s married to Lesley and they have two children, Ann and John who have grown up and left home. David’s been working for most Read the rest of this entry »

You can obviously speak and understand English. If you met a person from Sweden who could only speak Swedish then you would have some difficulty in communicating with them. Now, if this Swedish person met someone from say, Russia, who could only speak Russian, then there would also be a communication problem.
A similar situation exists between people who speak the same language. Only in this case the difference is in their personality types. Read the rest of this entry »
