We live by faith, or we do not live at all. Everything we do is an act of faith. When you get in your car to take a trip, you have faith that you will reach the destination. When you eat healthy food and exercise, you have faith that you will live at a ripe old age. Even many terminally ill people have faith that they will overcome their disease. When you invest in your 401K you have faith that it will grow into a large nest egg for your retirement. You get married by faith, raise your children by faith, pursue your education by faith and the list goes on. So you see, without some form of faith, you wouldn’t even get out of bed in the morning!
Someone said, we either venture or vegetate because we cannot know the end of anything at its beginning. Jesus said, by faith we can move mountains. I say that without faith you cannot even move an ant hill. I have learned, and am learning, that faith is not a steady thing. It ebbs and flows like an ocean current. We exchange a life of doubt diversified by faith for a life of faith diversified by doubt.
Yesterday you may have been filled with hope about your network marketing business after a positive conversation with a new prospect. Today that very prospect may have disappointed you by not calling you back as he or she said they would—thus doubt set in and discouragement ensued. In network marketing, or in anything for that matter, we need faith strong enough to overcome our doubts.
What would have happened if Thomas Edison let doubt overcome his faith? What would have happen if Mr. Edison, in doubt, gave up after 9,999 failed attempts to produce an incandescent lamp? How many of us have that kind of faith? What would have happened if the Wright Brother’s, Henry Ford, Napoleon Hill or myriads of others would have let doubt overcome their faith? The world that we live in would be a different place, wouldn’t it?
Who doesn’t get discouraged? Who doesn’t have doubts? My friend, it is the person who does not let their doubts overcome their faith, but rather overcomes their doubts by their faith that will experience outstanding success. Though faith and doubt exist; faith must overcome all doubt to have the success that you are seeking in network marketing or any other endeavor.
Do you have faith enough to carry you through your doubts? I believe that you do. When doubts arise, as they will, don’t let them get you down. Go beyond doubt, in faith that what you are seeking, you will find. When doubts arise, go ahead, take one more step in faith and just see what will happen. Look at what happened to the great ones I mentioned above. They were not unlike you, except maybe in one point; their faith was greater than their doubt and it was that faith that carried them through to victory. You can be just like them and you must to have the success you desire.
The MLM success secret of having more faith than you do doubt is critical to your network marketing success and success in all facets of life for that matter. Faith requires action. It is when you stop taking action that doubt will win. So get up and go and don’t stop taking steps of faith until doubts diminish and your dreams become a reality.

MLM Success Secret - The Power to Create
I have great new for my fellow MLMer’s! We are not only human beings, but human becomings!
Humans were made in the image and likeness of God and God is the CREATOR. Because of this awesome fact humans have the ability to create too. We can create our future and fashion it into anything that we can imagine. That is why I say that human beings are human becomings. This fact should give us massive hope for ourselves and for those we mentor in our MLM businesses. Napoleon Hill said, “What the mind can conceive and believe; it can achieve.” This is the creative power given to every human being by God.
Because we are human becomings, we can change the way we are right now. Years ago, I had a belief that I could never make over $35,000 annually. Because of my lack of a college education I thought that I was doomed to failure. Then one day I received an offer for a tape series from Nightingale Conant. I ordered the tape series and listened to them again and again. From the first time I heard Earl Nightingale speak I knew that things could change for me and that I had the power to create a new future for myself; a future that I wanted and could fashion out of what my mind conceived and believed.
From that time on, a series of events transpired in my life that led me to the realization of a six figure income. This poor high school graduate was making more than any of his college friends! How did that happen? I used my CREATIVE abilities to shape a future that I held in my imagination; an imagination that was made alive by a $40 investment!
Are you failing in your MLM? How do you see yourself? Do you realize that you can create a future much different than your present and that most of the necessary change is in YOUR control! God gave you the power to live an awesome life and have abundant success. His desire is that we take what He gave us and use it!
One of the greatest MLM success secrets is that you have the power to BECOME and that those we sponsor have this same power. All you need is some encouragement and knowledge as to how to do this. You need to plug into a group of success minded people that have this realization and will help you experience the creative powers given to you by God. You don’t have to fail. You can have all the success and happiness that you want. Invest in yourself. Invest in good CD programs. Find a mentoring group that has success in MLM. So learn this awesome MLM success secret—the power to become!

MLM Success Secret - Learn from Albert Einstein
In several of my articles I have been preaching that network marketing is not mainly about products and services, but it is primarily about people. Well, I recently heard a quote spoken by Albert Einstein and he said, "Man is here for the sake of man only." Now, I think that we can all agree that Mr. Einstein was a pretty smart guy, can't we? I believe that the network marketer who grasps this thought will ultimately be rich.
I believe that anyone who reaches out to help another human being will be greatly rewarded in like kind by the Creator. I have been serving people for years and it is the greatest joy I know. I am delighted to offer help for the benefit of others, expecting nothing in return from the one I am helping, but knowing that I WILL reap what I sow.
If you want to be an ultimate success, reach out and help someone. Pay a compliment to someone. Say, "Thank you!" to someone. Give to others out of what you have and God will reward you with what He has. And believe me, He has a lot! I am not writing in uncertainty. Rather I am telling you of the most certain truth I know and that is, your rewards will follow your service to fellow human beings.
Serving the people will not give you fast success in the beginning. However, if you are not weary in well doing, you WILL reap if you do not faint. Notice the word "if" in the previous sentence. Once you start reaping, it seems to come in abundance. Once you build momentum in helping others get what they want, sooner or later, you WILL have everything you want.
If you need money, don't focus on the money; focus on how you can serve people and money will just show up. If you need help in a certain area, help someone else based upon the talents that you have and the help that you need will arrive. This is not wishful thinking...it is a law.
If you are not "making it" in your network marketing business maybe you should learn the MLM success secret taught by Albert Einstein…”Man is here for the sake of man only.” Now I know that Mr. Einstein was not a network marketer, but at least he got the point of network marketing! The big question is, do you!

MLM Success Secret - Self Discipline
Self-discipline is a must to be successful in network marketing. Lack to self-discipline is one of the main reasons that many network marketers fail in their business pursuits.
Discipline is just delayed gratification for something better. In network marketing it is better to postpone short term gratification for the long term benefit. It is much easier to watch TV than to work on writing an article or creating ads to post online or in local papers. It is much easier to play video games than to surf traffic exchanges to build up points for your own advertising. It is much easier to go to bed early than to stay up late on team calls. But guess what; if you don’t pay the price now, you will be right where you are 10 years from now…nowhere!
I have a dream and I am willing to pay the price through self-discipline to make it my reality. It is Saturday night and most of the City of Columbus is watching TV or partaking of some other form of entertainment. And to top it off, I have been sitting at my P.C. all day writing, promoting, responding to emails, and on team calls. This is self-discipline and though you might not have to go to this extreme, you will have to sacrifice some of your time now to have much more free time in the future.
Everyone I know wants financial freedom and the time to do what they love to do. However, few are willing to discipline themselves enough to do what it takes today to get to where they want to be 1, 2, or 5 years from now. The uninitiated surf the net, looking for a get-rich-quick “opportunity” that will make them rich overnight. They fall for all the hype and empty promises. They are drawn in by the pictures of fancy homes and cars thinking that that could be theirs by doing what some of these “guru’s” do. They fall for the claims that money will just flow into your bank account by using some “automated system.” The guru’s tell people that they don’t have to talk to anyone or sell anything. This is pure foolishness! It takes self-discipline to be successful! It takes work! It takes connecting with people! It takes being willing to spend time with a Mentor. It takes being on team calls! There are NO short cuts to success, period!
If you don’t have self-discipline, forget network marketing. Forget home-based businesses, forget your dreams. You better keep your job and let others determine your life, income, time, position and future. To the undisciplined, self employment and freedom are not for you! This is hard to swallow, but it is true! Network marketing is for the self-disciplined. It is for those who are willing to pay the price in time and effort now for financial freedom and lots of free time in the future.
This MLM success secret is priceless. Are you willing to succeed? Are you willing to give up some TV and entertainment time for your future? If not, take a good look around you, because the scenery isn’t going to change for you anytime soon!

MLM Success Secret - Mentoring, The Shortest Path to Success
Mentoring is a huge part of MLM success. Whether you are the giver or the receiver of mentoring, a price cannot be placed on helping or being helped by another human being.
First, I would like to give some advice to the Mentor. Be a good Mentor. No, be a great Mentor! Be willing to go the extra mile to coach those whom you sponsor into your business as well as their downline. Be as available as you can and offer solid guidance with a heart of making those you serve better and more successful than you. In my experience and observation, God blesses those who serve other human beings for their benefit. Mentoring gives the giver a great feeling to be of service to others. It also brings wealth to a Mentor who helps others to gain wealth because you will ALWAYS reap what you sow!
However, it is futile to mentor someone who does not deserve your time and effort. It is not a wise investment of your time to mentor anyone with a “welfare mentality;” one who will not lift a finger themselves to gain success. There are plenty of people out there that “desire” to be successful, the question is; do they deserve it! By deserving it, I mean, are they willing to follow your instructions? Are they willing to take one step for themselves so that you can take two steps for them? Beware of the person with a “welfare mentality.” These folks will suck you dry!
This world is loaded with people who would rather buy a lottery ticket than invest $1 or one hour into themselves or their business. Did you ever wonder why so many people fall for those internet scams? The main reason is that people are seeking an easy way; a do nothing for something way. You can’t mentor this kind of person, so don’t waste your precious time. One test to determine if you are investing or wasting your time is the feeling that you have when you are coaching someone. Are they draining you like a vampire or drawing from you like a well. The vampire will leave you feeling weak and tired. The person who draws from you will give you the sense of joy and accomplishment.
There are plenty of people out there who deserve your help. If they do, take two steps for their every one. Encourage them and work with them until they experience the thrill of success. Help them reach their dreams and you will reach yours all the faster. It is a joy to help someone deserving, so experience the joy and give yourself to the one who will work with you for their success.
Now I would like to address the person who is being mentored. The first thing you must do is to deserve the mentoring that you receive. What I mean by deserve is to be willing to do what you are told. Be willing to pay a price to make your network marketing business work. If your upline can succeed; so can you. However, you must take the same path that they took in order to get the same results that they have. Success is a science. If one person can gain wealth in a certain business, so can you. Be willing to take one step and a good Mentor will take two for you.
Don’t waste a Mentor’s time; use their time by seeking advice, encouragement and wisdom. Then do what they instruct you to do and you will succeed. I would suggest contacting your Mentor regularly until you experience some success. When you do, it is time for you to mentor someone else…and the cycle goes on. By this method huge network marketing organizations are built. Also, and most important, be grateful to your Mentor and show appreciation for all that they do for you. Lift them up whenever you can. They need encouragement too!
I belong to the largest and most successful team in the company I represent. We reached this status through the way of mentoring. My team is so awesome and I am so thankful to be part of such a family. I can’t say enough about them and I hope that you can be so blessed. I know this stuff works because I experience it!
This MLM success secret is very important for ultimate success. It is crucial to mentor people, but mentor only those who deserve your time. It is MORE important to be mentored because it’s better to be shown the way then to have to try to find the path to success by yourself. Your chances of giving up are almost 100% without a good Mentor.
Success and failure greatly depends on mentorship. To the Mentor’s I say, take care of those who entrust themselves to your coaching. To the one being mentored, honor and respect the one who invests his or her time and expertise into your life and business. To all I say that life is a blessing. Don’t waste it by giving up your dreams. If you have a dream, chances are that it was given to you by God. So go for it! Use all your talents and gifts to make your life and the lives of those around you better.

MLM Success Secret - Realized that Failure is Not Your Fault
Let's face it. 97% of those in network marketing are frustrated! Everyone one of those 97% start out excited and full of hope. But then "reality" sets in and so does discouragement and failure. Here are some of the reasons:
- Where is the real help? Where is my sponsor? Where is the coaching? Who can help me? I don't know what I am doing!
- Spending too much money for advertising that doesn't work and going broke doing it!
- MOST compensation plans are not geared for the little guy or gal to start making money right away.
- Attractive HYPE is luring unsuspecting folks into their "so-called" opportunities by showing big money, big houses, fancy cars and their huge checks that most people will never be able to achieve. How do you known that all this stuff is real? Anyone can cut and paste!
- Focusing on products, money and not people.
These are just a few of the reasons, and there are many more! Thank God I don't have to deal with this stuff anymore. I am a happy camper because I am part of an awesome team that offers real coaching. We train our team to advertise for free and offer the education to know how to do so. The compensation plan is like no other. Most of the earnings go to the front line and by building a team of 400 people it is possible to make $10,000 a month! And we give you the way to build the team and will help you do it! Who wouldn't be a happy camper!
I am so discusted with all the network marketing hype out there! People are failing and think it is their fault! I am here to tell you that it is not the fault of the network marketer. It is the lack and integrity, teamwork, and mentoring! There is a way to succeed and it is simple. Get on a winning team, plug into a winning system, join a winning company with integrity and a compensation plan that works for the little guy or gal and YOU can finally succeed.
I will help anyone to figure out why they are failing and offer a way to start building a successful future. I think if more network marketers had this kind of attitude, success would abound for everyone and I am all about that!

MLM Success Secret - Teamwork
Network marketing is exactly what its name implies, marketing by means of a network. Marketing is one thing, but a network is entirely something else. However, when these two combine; you have the most awesome force on earth for moving products and making millionaires. Network marketing is also referred to by many as MLM.
One of the secrets to make your network marketing experience a great one, with massive success, is to be part of a winning team. No one person can be successful with the network marketing model without teamwork. However, many “opportunities” being offered online are not with teamwork in mind. Many programs today say something like this:
Not an MLM
No Sales
No Phone Calls
No List Building
No Conferences
No Meetings
The only thing that they are leaving out is “No Success!” It is a shame that offers are being made like this to unsuspecting souls. I say this because 85% of the population won’t succeed without a team and system in place. This way of doing business doesn’t support teamwork nor will it make millionaires with residuals incomes…at least for common men or women. I have joined programs like these and not one of them has demonstrated the kind of teamwork that makes lasting successes out of ordinary people. Most people have never been in network marketing. What a shame it is if one joins one of these anti-teamwork “opportunities” and experiences inevitable failure. They start out with failure and end up giving up because no one took the time to help them! Man, I hate that!
If you want to have outstanding success as a network marketer you have to be part of a team of people that are like-minded in their pursuits. I now belong to such a team and it is a breath of fresh air after burning time and money on programs that left me to fend for myself. In one program, that I was part of, the best advice that I got was to spend more money on advertising! The business that I am now in helps its team members to advertise and build a successful business through means of free advertising. How is this possible? There is a team and system in place that makes it possible.
People are clamoring for help out there. They want to be part of a team that will help them build their business. The main question that people are (or should be) asking is, “Can I do this and can you HELP me?” The sad thing is that the vast majority people looking for a business opportunity are being lied to. They are promised things that simply can’t happen for the common person. They buy into the hype and are left to figure it out for themselves. I hate this, because it has happen to me in the past!
Teamwork is the MLM success secret that can make the difference between a failure and a success. What does a team offer you? It offers:
Trust
Encouragement
Accountability
Motivation
These are the things that every network marketer needs to win! The team that I belong to is awesome; they are like family and are so willing to drop everything to help fellow team members. I have never seen or experienced anything like this. Because of my experience I believe that anyone can succeed if they put forth the effort and are part of a winning team.
Are you frustrated with your MLM business? Are you about ready to throw in the towel? I urge you not too. There help out there if you only know where to look and whom to ask. If you have been left out in the cold with your network marketing business, don’t give up; that is the worse thing that you can do. There is free help out there, just look and you will find that to be true.
If you go to my URL links, you will find some help on my website and blog. I am always available to help anyone who has a desire to be successful in network marketing, whether you are currently in a business or not. I offer this because I know what it feels like to be abandoned by sponsors. Don’t try to make it on your own; you don’t have too. Find a winning team and you will see and feel what I mean.
One of the secrets to make your network marketing experience a great one, with massive success, is to be part of a winning team. No one person can be successful with the network marketing model without teamwork. However, many “opportunities” being offered online are not with teamwork in mind. Many programs today say something like this:
Not an MLM
No Sales
No Phone Calls
No List Building
No Conferences
No Meetings
The only thing that they are leaving out is “No Success!” It is a shame that offers are being made like this to unsuspecting souls. I say this because 85% of the population won’t succeed without a team and system in place. This way of doing business doesn’t support teamwork nor will it make millionaires with residuals incomes…at least for common men or women. I have joined programs like these and not one of them has demonstrated the kind of teamwork that makes lasting successes out of ordinary people. Most people have never been in network marketing. What a shame it is if one joins one of these anti-teamwork “opportunities” and experiences inevitable failure. They start out with failure and end up giving up because no one took the time to help them! Man, I hate that!
If you want to have outstanding success as a network marketer you have to be part of a team of people that are like-minded in their pursuits. I now belong to such a team and it is a breath of fresh air after burning time and money on programs that left me to fend for myself. In one program, that I was part of, the best advice that I got was to spend more money on advertising! The business that I am now in helps its team members to advertise and build a successful business through means of free advertising. How is this possible? There is a team and system in place that makes it possible.
People are clamoring for help out there. They want to be part of a team that will help them build their business. The main question that people are (or should be) asking is, “Can I do this and can you HELP me?” The sad thing is that the vast majority people looking for a business opportunity are being lied to. They are promised things that simply can’t happen for the common person. They buy into the hype and are left to figure it out for themselves. I hate this, because it has happen to me in the past!
Teamwork is the MLM success secret that can make the difference between a failure and a success. What does a team offer you? It offers:
Trust
Encouragement
Accountability
Motivation

MLM Success Secret - Change Your Focus to Succeed
If you want to be a truly successful human being you have to control your life. Too many people on this earth are out of control. That is why so many are on drugs; to help bring order into their lives…so they think. Drugs only cover the symptoms. The real problem, in most cases, is focus. What you focus on usually determines how you live. Most people focus on their problems and guess what; more problems appear. Others focus on debt or sickness, and more debt and sickness appear. The successful focus on wealth, health, or abundance, and that becomes their reality. They are the thankful and know HOW to focus on what they want in life.
Do you want to gain control of your life and shape your own destiny? Do you want to rule over your feelings instead of being controlled by them? The answer is FOCUS. What you focus on controls the feelings that you have and the life that you live. This is especially important for us MLMer’s. It gets pretty discouraging sometimes in this business. You spend hours trying to build your business and it seems to just crawl along. The problem may not be your business; it may be what you are focusing on. The important thing is when you are not seeing the results that you want; try changing what you are focusing on. When you change your focus; your feelings and results will change as well.
How do you change your focus? The key is asking questions. When conversing with others, the person asking the questions is controlling the conversation. They are actually determining the focus by their questions. Now if you want to change your focus, start asking yourself better questions.
You may ask yourself this question, “Why I am failing in my business?” That is a bad question because it forces you to focus on your failure. A better question would be, “What can I do to make my business better?” By rephrasing the question you have changed your focus concerning your business and thus your feelings and life path have changed as well.
Asking yourself good questions is important to keep growing and expanding your home-based business. “What can I do to better promote myself?” “Where is a better place to advertise?” These are good questions because they keep you focused on a positive outcome.
When you are feeling bad, depressed, or discouraged, I would ask you to consider the questions that you have been asking yourself that got you into that state. Once you realize what questions got you there; change them into good questions that will give you the feelings and outcome that you desire.
MLM is a great business. Don’t become a casualty by losing your focus. Stay focused by always asking yourself great questions. The best to all of you!

MLM Success Secret --Self-Branding for Online Success
If you want to be a big success at network marketing; especially on the internet, you must brand yourself. The internet is a huge “black hole” that seems to have no end. It is too easy to get lost in this “black hole” due to the bombardment of opportunities that are being flung at people every single day. It is very important that you properly brand yourself so you will get noticed in this very busy arena called the World Wide Web.
Why brand yourself? We need to do this because the internet is too impersonal. No matter what you may think, people like to buy from people that they know and trust. I am this way and if you are a normal human being; you are this way as well. Since people cannot talk to you online, they need to find ways to get to know you; and the best way is through writing articles. When you write, you are putting YOUR thoughts on paper and these thoughts reveal who you are. They make a statement about the kind of person you are. If you are full of hype, that will come out. If you are genuine and care for the success of others, that will come out as well. I don’t know about you, but I want others to know me. If they can get to know me through my writings; they will begin to trust me and eventually want to do business with me. I can assure you, that if anyone becomes one of my associates; their chances of success will increase dramatically. Why, because THEIR success if paramount to my success, so I will do all that I can to work with them to fulfill their dreams. Like I often say, focus on others and you will become a success magnet yourself.
I have been in sales for over 15 years and I can honestly say that I have never sold a thing. Thought I have not sold anything, people have purchased millions of dollars in products and services from me. How can this be? My clients presented a problem to me and I offered a solution for their problem. They learned, after being with me, that they could trust me and went ahead and made a purchase. Did I sell them? Not really, they sold themselves. This all happened because when I was with my prospects, I never cared about me or what was in it for me. I cared about my prospect, their needs, and because of this, they bought from me.
You cannot appear face to face with your prospects online, but you can write. You can let the world know what kind of person you are by your writings. The more you write, the more popular you will become online. I have written about 25 articles and submitted them to an article submission sites. As a result, I am listed number 1 on Google when my name is searched, number 7 and 8 on Yahoo and number 2 on MSN. Not bad for writing a few articles! Now when people see my opportunity, they can check me out and see what kind of person I am to determine if I can be trusted. They are more apt to call me if they can get a feel for who I am first.
From what I understand, only about 10% of network marketers market online. I believe it is because of the lack of knowledge as to how to let people know about them. But now you know one simple, yet very effective way to become famous online. So get busy and start writing; it’s easy to brand yourself online!

MLM Success Secret - Remember Thomas Edison
Owning your own homed-based business can be discouraging at times. You work hard and do all the right things, but you seem to keep banging your head against a brick wall. If you are feeling like that, I have a word of advice—NEVER give up!
Remember Thomas Edison? Mr. Edison had an idea that became an obsession. He wanted to develop an electric lamp. He had the firm belief that it could be done, but he wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. It didn’t seem to matter to him about not knowing how; he just knew that it could be done and went about experimenting. He tried over 10,000 times…beating his head against “the wall” for a breakthrough. Finally, during a little catnap, which Mr. Edison was often known to do, he had a dream that revealed to him the secret to making his dream come true. I will not get into the details here, but we all know the outcome—he invented the first incandescent light bulb! After over 10,000 seeming failures his dream became a reality. What was Mr. Edison’s secret? Was it is smarts? Was it his luck? I believe the secret was that he NEVER gave up. He KNEW that he would be successful and that it was just a matter of time. Because of his belief and persistence the very thing he strongly desired became his reality!
After that experience, success came much easier for Mr. Edison. It’s almost like he paid his “dues” and after such determination subsequent successes just flowed to him. I have been to his summer home in Ft. Myers, FL. I saw with my own eyes the success that came to a man who never gave up!
Never giving up is a critical MLM success secret. Very few will ever have this kind of determination, but it is essential to the person who desires massive success. Most of the earth’s population does not understand this principle. Success eludes them because, when the going gets tough, they just give up! How many successes have been missed by an hour! Maybe one more hour, day, or month would have taken them from the poor house to a multi-millionaire status! There are many stories of people giving up too soon and others picking up where they left off only to strike it rich! If the quitter would have just hung in there a little longer it could have been theirs! What a difference a day can make! Just think what would had happened if Thomas Edison gave up at “failure” number 999?
There seems to be a law that says you can never have what you are not willing to fight for. I don’t know what the name of this law should be, but I believe it exists. So, to all my fellow network marketers out there I say, take courage! Don’t ever give up on your dreams! When you don’t feel like spending an hour on your business, at least spend 5 minutes. Do something every single day. Pray, visualize, talk about and study your business. And as sure as the sun rises from the east and sets in the west; your dreams will come true if you only believe and never give up!

MLM Success Secret - Join a Winning Team
The nature of network marketing is teamwork. To be successful and any major sport, you need to be part of a winning team. To be successful in MLM you also need to be part of a winning team.
Too many opportunists are promoting systems and methods of going it alone. They claim that you do not need to sell, make phone calls, sponsor anyone, make lists, attend meetings and that their “system” produces money automatically. These opportunists’s make promises that they just cannot keep. Their websites show you new luxury vehicles, homes, cash, and other forms of hype to draw you into there business. Is this stuff for real? I know that some of the “big time opportunist’s” are faking it. They are giving you the illusion that that stuff is theirs and that you can have it too. Very few will attain to those kinds of riches, especially on their own. What these so-called gurus’s don’t understand is that it takes commitment and teamwork.
The only way for the average person to be successful in network marketing is to be on a winning team with awesome coaches. The OSU Buckeyes (I am from Columbus, OH), in my humble opinion, are an awesome team because they have a great coach who understands that in order to win you need teamwork. You need a team that will watch out for each other and work together for the good of the whole. Hero’s are not promoted, the team is. However, when a team member does something outstanding, the whole team celebrates. Network marketing is just like this.
Are you looking for a home-based business opportunity? Before product, I would look for a winning team. Don’t sign up with a hero; sign up to be on a team! Hero’s are self-centered. A team is YOU centered. Do you see the difference? If you are in a business and having a hard time because you are not part of a winning team, I would suggest that you cut your losses and find a business where there are people that care about YOUR success. You see, a true network marketer knows that their success depends on yours. The team will help you succeed because YOUR success is in THEIR best interest.
After several failed attempts, I am finally on a winning team. The businesses I was in were all good, but the “team” was non-existent. Sure, I had a sponsor and upline, but the fact is that they did not care about me. I think I know why: They were after the money! Their eyes were on what they could make and what was in it for them. That’s a shame. I am an awesome person to team up with. I didn’t miss out as much as they did! But, by God’s hand, I met a person who knows how to build a business. She introduced me to “the team” and now we are working together to build our businesses. Wow, what a difference! Now I have no doubt that I will be successful because I am hanging out with a successful team—my team!
A critical MLM Success Secret that you must understand is teamwork. So, what should you do? If you are not on a winning team, find one now! If you are looking for an awesome business opportunity, hook up with someone who is on a winning team. With a winning team, you have no choice, but to win, win, win!

MLM Success Secret - Beware of Vampire Marketing
Vampire marketing seems to be the rage since network marketing hit the internet. Vampire marketers are those who attract you by all the promises of big money, no effort, no sales, no phone calls, no meetings, just join their “opportunity,” kick back and watch the big bucks flow into your bank account automatically—while you sleep. After attracting someone into their program, they take off for new “victims.” In the aftermath their “victims” become discouraged because they don’t know what to do or they are “trained” to be a vampire themselves.
Vampire marketing is not network marketing at. It is making a sale, collecting a check, making another sale, collecting another check, and the cycle never ends. There is no residual income with vampire marketing. Vampire marketing requires constant direct sales to earn an income. If you ever quit, so does your income…bummer!
Another trait of Vampire marketing is the countless dollars you need to spend to advertise. Since sales are so crucial to the vampire marketer they need to advertise constantly through solo ads, ad words, magazine co-ops, and other pay methods. You need a huge advertising budget to be a vampire marketer and the average person just can’t afford it. Therefore, only the very successful vampire marketers make the big bucks. There ads emphasize money; big money. They show huge houses and expensive cars. I just wonder if they really own them! I say this because many are fakes. They believe in faking it ‘til you make it. This is deception!
This MLM success secret is that you must learn is avoid vampire marketers, at all costs, and do not become one yourself. There IS a better way…become a network marketer. Network marketing is different than vampire marketing. Network marketing is based on relationships, teamwork, giving, and receiving. Network marketing focuses on people success, not money. True wealth is the result of serving people. When you truly serve people and EARN their trust, success is automatic. Network marketers have a loyal following and earn high residual income checks. Successful network marketers realize that they cannot build their businesses on their own. They believe in teamwork. They build businesses that they can live off of after retirement. In many cases their children and grandchildren will enjoy the success of a true network marketer long after he or she pass on.
Serving people and helping them reach their dreams will issue in the highest form of success. A person with a mentor’s heart attracts wealth—it’s a law! God rewards those who help their fellow man—that’s a fact!
Therefore to have genuine MLM success, avoid the vampire marketer and only involve yourself with network marketers—people who serve people and gain lasting wealth by doing so.

MLM Success Secret - Choose Your Sponsor Wisely!
Owning your own home based business is a wonderful thing. Most of us got into network marketing to obtain both financial and time freedom. We all started out with a dream to make it big. However, a very large percentage of network marketers give up and feel like it just doesn’t work. I believe that one of the main reasons for this is sponsorship.
When looking at an opportunity, just don’t check out the company; check out your sponsor and their sponsor. Do they have integrity? Do they have a system to help you become the success you are dreaming to be; or do they just talk about all the money you (they) can make? If their focus is the money…run! Money is great, but that cannot be the focus of a good mentor. Their focus should be YOU and HOW they will help you be successful.
The fact is, the company you are looking at or may even be part of could be great, but if the sponsorship is bad, maybe it’s time to pass it by or pull up stakes. If the product is good, you can still use it, but don’t waste your time trying to build a business if you don’t have the proper support. MLM can get very discouraging and you need a support system to be in place when things do get discouraging. You need leaders that have plowed the way and will help you build your business and urge you on when the times get tough.
After years of searching, I finally found a sponsorship that is what they said they were—committed to MY success. I call my sponsor often to get ideas and encouragement. If I didn’t have a strong support system I would have given up, again, in search of greener pastures only to become disappointed, again, and eventually give up completely. All I can say is, “Thank God for my sponsor!”
Most people that are sponsored into MLM are brand new. They need mentoring—period! Most sponsors in MLM just don’t get it; they think it’s about the money. Well, if you want to succeed in this business (MLM) you had better take your eyes off of the money and care for the people you sponsor or you will fail to build a big business that will pay you, your children and even your grandchildren.
In closing I would urge you to talk to the person who is going to be your sponsor. Google their name to see what is said about them on the internet. Don’t join their organization until you feel they are worthy to be your partner in business. If you are sponsoring someone, be a mentor and seek ways to help your associates to be a success. In doing so, you will be greatly rewarded!
When looking at an opportunity, just don’t check out the company; check out your sponsor and their sponsor. Do they have integrity? Do they have a system to help you become the success you are dreaming to be; or do they just talk about all the money you (they) can make? If their focus is the money…run! Money is great, but that cannot be the focus of a good mentor. Their focus should be YOU and HOW they will help you be successful.
The fact is, the company you are looking at or may even be part of could be great, but if the sponsorship is bad, maybe it’s time to pass it by or pull up stakes. If the product is good, you can still use it, but don’t waste your time trying to build a business if you don’t have the proper support. MLM can get very discouraging and you need a support system to be in place when things do get discouraging. You need leaders that have plowed the way and will help you build your business and urge you on when the times get tough.
After years of searching, I finally found a sponsorship that is what they said they were—committed to MY success. I call my sponsor often to get ideas and encouragement. If I didn’t have a strong support system I would have given up, again, in search of greener pastures only to become disappointed, again, and eventually give up completely. All I can say is, “Thank God for my sponsor!”
Most people that are sponsored into MLM are brand new. They need mentoring—period! Most sponsors in MLM just don’t get it; they think it’s about the money. Well, if you want to succeed in this business (MLM) you had better take your eyes off of the money and care for the people you sponsor or you will fail to build a big business that will pay you, your children and even your grandchildren.
In closing I would urge you to talk to the person who is going to be your sponsor. Google their name to see what is said about them on the internet. Don’t join their organization until you feel they are worthy to be your partner in business. If you are sponsoring someone, be a mentor and seek ways to help your associates to be a success. In doing so, you will be greatly rewarded!

MLM Success Secret - Develop Your Faith
A few weeks ago, I gave a message to a church I visited about faith. Faith is an interesting thing. Faith brings the invisible things that we hope for into the visible world. In the congregation there was a young man and I asked him: “If you could have any car that you wanted, what would that be?” He replied without hesitation, “A Hummer!” I then asked, “What color would that Hummer be?” He replied quickly, “Black!” I then told him, “What would you think if I pulled a Title out of my pocket, right now, with your name on it saying that you owned a 2008 Hummer?” He stated that it would indicate that he owned the Hummer. I then told him, “That is faith!” Though he did not “see” the actual Hummer, he could believe that he owned one because of a piece of paper called a Title Deed.
Faith is a Title Deed of the things we hope for. Though we may not see the actual thing we hope for, we KNOW that we have it because of faith. If you held a Title Deed to a home that you never saw, you would believe that you owned that home, though you had never seen it. If you held a winning lottery ticket and the number on it indicated that you won 20 million dollars you would believe it, even though you have not seen the actual 20 million dollars yet. This is what faith is; it is believing that you possess what you cannot see.
If you are in a network marketing business or MLM what you need to bring the success you hope for into reality is faith. You need faith that you will succeed and your dreams will come true. But where does faith come from? It comes from hearing.
What you hear will determine your faith. If you hear all kinds of negative junk over and over, you will eventually believe what you hear and that will form your belief. If you hear all kinds of positive things over and over; you will believe them and your faith will increase. Therefore take heed as to what you hear!
In network marketing (MLM), to develop your faith, it is essential that you get on your company calls. Get with your team members and talk about possibilities. Listen over and over to the success stories of others in your company. Talk to those who have had success and let their stories fill you with faith! Get with your sponsor on a weekly if not daily basis. Don’t try to build a business on your own. If you are like 97% of the population, your day is filled with negativity. You need to hear the possibilities. You need to dream big. Have pictures of what you want all around you. Develop a goal and desire statement. Read it over and over again…out loud. Speak your desire statement into a recorder and play it over and over so you can hear it and watch your faith grow!
All things are possible to he or she who believes. So don’t hang around negative faithless people who are going nowhere. To develop your faith, stick with your sponsor and your upline. They will keep you encouraged and on track for success. If your sponsor has or is failing to help you, find someone who can. And whatever you do, don’t give up. Keep the faith!

MLM Success Secret - The Law of Gratitude
Before I start I want you to know that I wrote this article with my fellow network marketers in view. Too many times we get discouraged and want to quit as we pursue our quest for financial independence and I want to encourage you to stay the course. However, this article is for anyone wanting to lead a better and more powerful life.
Gratitude is a powerful attitude that one must possess to become successful in any endeavor. Gratitude is like magnetizing yourself to attract all the good things you could ever desire into your life. I do want to emphasize “good things.” There are many out there with harmful intentions, and gratitude will not help such people. If you are competitive and feel that, in order to become successful, you have to take from others, gratitude will not help you and I doubt that you will be capable of being thankful. I have written an earlier article that covers competition and how that kind of mind will only hinder your MLM Success.
A grateful person is a person that can take any situation and give thanks for it; knowing that there is some good to be realized in any situation. A grateful person believes that God is not “out to get them,” but rather that God sees the big picture and has something better waiting for them somewhere in the future.
I would like to relate an experience that I had before I discovered the Law of Gratitude. Many years ago I went through a very traumatic experience in my life. At the time I thought that it was the end of my world. Everything I loved and labored hard for was gone. Gradually (too gradually) I discovered that it was truly a blessing in disguise. If it were not for that traumatic experience I would have never attempted getting into a career in sales, in which I was making a six figure income; and that without a college education! I would not be married to my lovely wife who has been such a blessing to me and I would not have grown as much as I have over the last few years. This “bad experience” actually turned out for my good. Had I discovered the power of gratitude; it would have saved myself years of grief and hurt over what had happen. Once I discovered the Law of Gratitude I looked back and saw the wisdom of God in what he allowed. For this I am truly grateful.
To start the flows of goodness into your life learn to give thanks to God for, at least, the good things in your life. No matter how bad things “appear” there is something good in your life for which to give thanks. As you become more filled with faith through your thankfulness, you will find yourself giving thanks for even the seeming “bad” things in your life. I look at the “bad” things life like cornerstones. One of the functions of a cornerstone is to change directions in a building wall. Many of these bad experiences are really meant to change our direction and keep us from doing or experiencing something that is not in our BEST interest.
God is good. He loves us and wants the best for us. Many things are “wake-up” calls to help us find the best that He has planned for our lives. So be grateful. Give thanks for all things and you will find that there are so many more good things ready to flow into our lives.
I would like to leave you with one last example. I gave a talk recently in a church meeting and told the young people that if you want to win your parent over, be thankful to them. If you want them to pay more attention to you and bestow upon you the things that you want, be thankful to them for what they have given you. Many parents were in the room that day and agreed that gratefulness goes a long way to gain their favor. If you want to gain favor, be thankful to the God, the Creator of the universe. He alone has the power to bless you beyond your wildest dreams.
If you want your network marketing business (MLM) to take off, thank God. If your business is not going anywhere; there is a reason. Maybe you need to take a turn and the blockage is there to awaken you to that fact. Just keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking, and soon the door will open and you will find yourself where you now are just dreaming you could be.
