A Potential Leader Dies

Oct 262010

Once again, the brevity of life has reminded me that I must be passionately seeking to attain my goals while I am able.

Last Wednesday night, the youngest of four children, an 18 year old, college freshman, collapsed and died while running on a high school track. He was a leader in the making, tackling engineering problems that his classmates had no idea how to solve. He was a friend of our son, who is close to the same age. We also know his family and attended his funeral on Saturday.

So much potential, we don’t understand why it happens, especially when it is someone we know, but it prods us to do better and be leaders that show the way to others.

As an adult, we should know our purpose in life and pursue it passionately. We should be living in the present and giving 100% to achieving the goals to attain our purpose in life.

Remember the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

It is so easy to change from one profession to another in the society today, that most people change many times during their lifetime, never finding fulfillment.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t know your purpose. Most people don’t know their purpose.

How do you find it? How do you know what you want to be when you grow up?

What did you dream about becoming when you were a child? What do you feel so strongly about doing, that it brings tears to your eyes, or your heart beats faster when you talk about it?

What would you do if you knew that you would not fail and money was not an option?

Let me share the answer that Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid give in their book, THREE FEET FROM GOLD.

You already have the talent and ability to create great suc-
cess in your life. The Success Equation will show you how:

[(P+T) x A x A) +F = Your Success Equation

Combine Passion, something that makes your heart sing,
with Talent, something you excel in, multiply it by the
right Association, successful people or organizations, and
Action, concrete steps you can take toward your goal, and
then add your Faith, the unwavering belief in yourself, and
you will have your own unique Success Equation.

If you don’t already have a journal, get one. Creating your
Success Equation can be your first entry.

PASSION

In your journal, take a page and make a list of ten things you
are passionate about. Sharon’s might include x and y; Greg’s
might include a and b. What does your list include? You may
need to get help from your friends and family (who support
you!) in coming up with things that really get you excited but
you might consider irrelevant.

What are you passionate about? What makes your heart sing?

Think about the times in your life when you have been most
fulfilled. What were you doing?

TALENT

Now, on another page, make a list of ten things you are really good at.

Are you a great communicator? Do you have a knack for numbers?

Can you cook or draw?

What do you excel in? What are your talents?

Now, ask a friend to remove one item that least describes you from each list.

Repeat the process with several friends, either as a group or
individually, until you have one item remaining on each list.

My passion is _______________________________________.

My talent is _________________________________________.

(to be continued…)

Don’t let your potential die. Find your passion in life and pursue it!

Relationship building – Key to Your Network Marketing Success

Posted by Karen at 8:17 pm Karen, Stretch Your Mind No Responses »

As Michael Dlouhy says,

You need to talk to your front-line leaders regularly. At least every other day. Sometimes it’s 2 or 3 times a day. Make yourself available anytime for 3-way phone calls. Give your team a system to help them find the people and sponsor them into your business. Make yourself available.

At our 35th wedding anniversary on June 21st, we had 2 of our front-line Diamonds at the celebration. And my sponsor My sponsor & his wife flew across the country to attend. Several others from our group were there. And we had a ball.

Here’s what it’s about.

I have a gentleman in my group, awesome guy, he lives up in Monticello, Florida. On our way back from a seminar trip to Houston, Texas, I stopped by to see Richard & Cheryl. They have a big old hickory tree that was leaning towards their home. It got hit by lightning, and it was dead. They were very concerned it could come down, and it’s a couple thousand dollars to have that cut down & carted away.

So I got together one day with Linda & our son Matt & a friend, Lynn Rothfuss, from New Jersey, and we made a day of it. We took a picnic up and we cut the tree down, cut it up, stacked it up for them.

That builds relationships. We just did that to help them. When’s the last time your upline did something like that for you?
That’s what this business is about – it’s about building relationships. We’ll be in business the rest of our lives with Richard & Cheryl. I’ll be in business the rest of my life with all our top leaders. It just goes on and on and on.
You’ve got to build it solid. We just sponsored some awesome people down in Puerto Rico, Nestor & Toni. They’re so excited, they’re going on the MLM Cruise with us. When we come back, we’ll hang out there for 2 or 3 days and do meetings and build them an empire while we’re there. They’ll have it started before that, but we’re going to explode that island.

The Mistake That Many Leaders Make

People are telling their downlines all the time, “You have to change. You have to get out there and sell. You have to become this other person that you aren’t right now.”
The truth is, YOU are perfect just like you are. Everybody on your team is perfect just like they are. They don’t need to change. They don’t need to become a pushy, aggressive salesperson.

Ninety-two per-cent of the world’s population is sales resistant. You don’t like to be sold. You walk into a store, looking for shoes. You want to look around, pick out what YOU want. You don’t want some sales clerk coming around, telling you they have a sale on such & such a shoe. You want to shop & buy what YOU want. Maybe you’ll ask for a clerk, once you’ve decided what you want.

So it’s only about 5% of the people in network marketing who tell the others that they have to change, they have to become this pushy, aggressive salesperson, make a list of your friends & family and go puke all over them, force them into the business.

That Is NOT How To Build Your Business!

My belief is, just target the market and find people who already are looking for the business, people who already believe in network marketing. Don’t go out and try to build them a dream to get them in the business.
It’s kind of like religion. Some people believe in God, some don’t. Don’t try to convince the people who don’t believe in God to believe in Him. And don’t try to convince the people who do believe in God to not believe in Him.
Just go talk to the ones who already believe! Talk to the people who already believe, and are looking. Those people are warriors. Those people are ready to take action. Those people will build an empire. They will build a legacy income for you. Those are the kind of people who will drive 6 hours to your house and cut down a tree for you.
Those are the people you want. Build relationships with those people. Get them into your business, and never, never, never quit building the relationship with them!
All these years in the industry, it’s almost comical to me. I hear so-called heavy hitters talking about building relationships. But the truth is, they don’t have a relationship with their spouse, they don’t have one with their kids, and they don’t have one with their business partners. They rattle on about relationships, but they don’t know how to build one.

Bulletproof Your Income!

What if your company went out of business tomorrow? Don’t laugh – it has happened to many, many people in this business. What would you do? Would you have to start over from scratch?

Well – NOT if you have strong trusting relationships with your people! If you have taken the time and made the effort to build that steel-ribbed “know, like, & trust,” then your people will stick with you. They will follow you to your next company. They will trust in your judgment.
If you haven’t built those relationships, your future is very much in doubt. Why take that chance? Work hard at getting close to every person in your group. That’s a strategy that will pay off for you big-time, whether your current company is around forever or not.

Thanks to Michael Dlouhy’s words of advice which will help me in my business.

To Your Success,

Karen Engler

Fortune Hi-Tech Makes Headlines in USA Today

Fortune Hi-Tech makes headlines in USA Today. I wont go into all the details here. Kinda repetitive since I have added their link to this post. But here is yet another example of why I am so grateful to Michael Dlouhy for giving me the tools I need for a life time of success in MLM. Without a sure fire way of evaluating a company for myself I never would have discovered the “5 Pillar” company I am in now.

Can you imagine how these people feel? They join believing that its a legit company. A company that they can trust and build to provide their family the security we all desire for our loved ones, just to learn that they were lied to. I know the guilt that goes along with sponsoring people into a business that I found out later was not what they proclaimed themselves to be.

Please people, take the time to get the education that will help YOU learn to evaluate legit companies.

You could avoid situations like Marie Richardson of Daytona Beach, Fl. is going through. Here is the full USA Today story.

Your Passion in Life Will Build Your Business

“Ninety percent of new businesses fail the first year.

And 90% of the rest fail in the next 4 years.

THAT is tough.

You’re excited. You start. A thousand things go wrong.
You want to quit a thousand times.

Most people just quit.

You need a strong enough reason to do it.
Then if WHAT you’re doing doesn’t work,
You’ll figure out some other way. But if
You’re at all wishy-washy, you’re a goner.”

This quote from Michael Dlouhy’s book, Success in 10 Steps,
explains why we need to find and fulfill our passion in life.
That passion in your life will create a successful business.

So, why are you here (on earth, I mean)?

What do you enjoy doing so much that you can’t wait to get started in the morning?

God placed man on the earth initially to have fellowship with Him.
It was a joy for Adam, Eve, and God to walk and talk together in
‘the cool of the day’. We should have fellowship with our Creator.

We need to know what our purpose in life is. It will fulfill us so that we are overjoyed to work at accomplishing our purpose every day.

I don’t mean like the movie that shows someone who’s whole live
builds to a climax of doing a great humanitarian deed and then
passes on, though that may happen.

I am talking about day to day, burning, passionate, desires or dreams that become a reality because you pursue them with clear focus and purpose. Then you will be successful in your life, your business, etc.

First of all, you have to know WHAT you want. What is YOUR dream, your PURPOSE, YOUR PASSION IN LIFE?

Most people have been ‘programmed’ to think that once you reach adulthood, you are not supposed to dream anymore. (Not in the daytime, anyway)

WHY NOT?

Do you want to be STUCK in your 9-5 J-O-B from now until you retire without enough retirement to live comfortably?

Take responsibility of your life and actions and achieve your dreams.

Dream, and DREAM BIG, the BIGGER, the Better!

In the book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill says,
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

In the weeks to come, I will be sharing the steps that many
successful entrepreneurs have taken.

Then you, too, will be able to….

Find YOUR PASSION IN LIFE and BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.

How Internet Marketing Really Works Part 2

Sep 232010

The biggest difference in people like Michael Dloughy and other top earners in the industry and you is they have a team that will withstand the test of time. We to can build a team like that.

The only way to build a life long customer base and down line, is to build a team with a duplicate-able system. The only way to do that is to build friendships with people you meet and invite to join you in your business.

It is all about building a team that you personally know each and every one by name. You have to be willing to go that extra step and get to know your future partners or customers. You have to build a relationship with your clientele. It takes team work to build a business.

When we find that 5 Pillar company that Michael Dloughy talks about, you can build a team that will last through the years. We must be willing to make a life long relationship with every person we choose to bring into our business. After all you will be in constant contact with them in order to build your business to the point you can walk away with your desired residual income.

Til the next time

How Internet Marketing Really Works Part 1

Posted by tammyp at 4:43 am Advertising and Marketing, Tammy No Responses »

Sep 122010

I have been in MLM for many years now. When I got my first computer 4 years ago, I figured that I would do the same things I did before, just a little broader scale. I struggled for about 2 and a half years, when I was about to call it quits I came across this free ebook called, Success in 10 Steps. I found out that one of my biggest problems was the fact I didn’t know the difference in MLM and Internet Marketing.

Internet Marketing is like any other business, you have to be willing to invest in your business and yourself. You have to look at it like a business, it takes time and money to get up and running enough to start paying for itself. There is no such things as over night success in Internet Marketing, it is a business that you have to be, all-in, as Michael Dloughy would say, in order to make it.

Internet Marketing is a business that you have to grow and nurture. It starts with a product that your customers will come back for, like health supplements, the number one seller today. Something that you would buy every month. You have to be willing to invest in yourself, take the products that you sell and be able to tell others your results. That is how word of mouth works. You have to be willing to do your own auto ship every month and get your customers on one. This is how residual income is made. You don’t get that with Affiliate Marketing.

There’s another major difference in building residual income for life and being an affiliate marketer the rest of your life. It’s Teamwork.

Next week in Part 2 we will look at how teamwork really works.

See you in the next blog

Why Mentoring for Free in the Authors Own Words

Posted by Henrietta at 11:48 pm Looking 4 Me?, mlm education, Stretch Your Mind, Uncategorized No Responses »

Nov 082009

Everyday it seems I have people asking me why I mentor people for free.

First of all I understand their skepticism. It’s normal and it’s healthy. But really, its a shame that people are so skeptical and cynical that they can not seem to understand how someone would help them out with no strings attached.

Do you think that maybe they are thinking that way because they wouldn’t extend themselves to help someone for nothing? Hmmm

You’ve been in network marketing for how long now? What kind of time and money have you lost, trying to figure it out on your own? Have you ever prayed in the middle of the night asking for someone to help. Ask yourself, what would you do to help someone avoid the problems that you went through. Wouldn’t you want to warn others of hazards ahead, or would you stand idley by and watch them get hurt?

One of the stories I tell people is this.

Let’s say your on a city street corner and you see a sweet, little old lady about to cross the street but you also see a huge bus speeding down the street. Its obvious if you dont do something she will be struck down. Do you ask her first for payment or do you just act and save her?

Well DUH! You save her right. Ok, now that you saved her life, do you ask her for payment? Of course NOT! What kind of person would do such an aweful thing?

Well that my dear friend is why I participate in the Mentoring for FREE program. We are helping thousands of people globally and ya we do it for free because its the right thing to do.

Here is Michael’s reason.

The Most Common Question I am Asked

Posted by Henrietta at 12:08 am Looking 4 Me? No Responses »

May 032008

I talk to new people almost everyday about what I do and how I can help

them, as a network marketing coach for their business.

I get a real kick out of telling them it is a totally 100% FREE service and completely generic program that will help them with any of the hundreds of network marketing companies out there.

Many of them ask me, “Ok, if you do this for free, how do you make any money?”

My answer is, “I have a network marketing company that I work full time.
That is how I make money. But I also like to mentor people, who need
support to build their own business the way someone helped me. It’s my way of giving back. You can not expect to be a success if all you do is take take take. You HAVE to give back!”

However, I do understand people’s reluctance to believe that such an extensive program could ever be provided for free.
But it is free, we do not charge you EVER for taking the skills training, and one on one coaching.

I have to tell you that I thought the exact same thing when I started with Mentoring for Free.
But, since I was told it was “100% free”, and I really needed some help
to build my network marketing business, I thought to myself, I would do exactly what they say, and IF they ever ask me for money, I would quit.
I was going to first get all the free information I could first!

Ask yourself , have you ever helped someone out because you wanted to or just because you could?
What was your intention at that moment? Did you want to help someone out who was struggling or did you want to just make someone happy? Or maybe a bit of a selfish reason, you wanted to do something for someone so you would feel good about yourself.

Now what if you had the opportunity to save someone from walking in front of a moving bus? Would you do it?

If you had burned yourself on a hot pot and someone was just about to do the exact thing as you did, would you stop them from getting hurt? I am sure you would.

Well that basically describes what we do at Mentoring for Free. The majority of us have been burned at some point during our network marketing careers. Most of us joined a company that hit and run our wallets and self esteem. Now we just want to reach out to others to help them avoid the pitfalls we have gone through.
Mentoring for Free has taught me a lot of different specialized skills I needed to succeed in my network marketing company. It really can do the same for you if you put some real effort into it.

Give me a call I will tell you all about it
