Set Your Foundation For Success!!

Now What Do I DO?!?

The first thing you must do is understand the overall concept of what we are doing to be successful. We are marketing. First and foremost you will be marketing YOURSELF. We have a remarkable opportunity here and you must understand that your success depends on people coming into the opportunity through you.

There are two concepts we must grasp in this business to grow, stand out and create meaningful relationships – YES – meaningful relationships. I am not working an MLM business. I did not commit to internet marketing to be a salesperson. I am not gathering leads to simply add to my e-mail list. I am not knocking on doors and handing out fliers. I am attracting people to me and thus our opportunity.

Let me explain — I do use the system to gather leads. But leads are a means to an end. The system is designed to weed out the tire kickers and the lottery based mentalities. So the leads are sorted out and the prospects will move through the Sales Funnel. Now I am working and talking to people that are truly interested in building a business. I am not interested in talking to “leads” all day and chasing people around. I have done that and do not wish to go through that spin cycle again. I want to have a conversation that is enjoyed by both parties.

So what are the two concepts that we must understand?

1. Establishing yourself as a leader and attract like minded individuals. You may not be an expert – YET!! But you can be a leader and establish a relationship with your team members and not simply blasting sales pitches all day to an e-mail list and hope something happens. Personal Branding is what we need to do to be successful in this business. The opportunity here is great, but people are joining YOU first. Offer value to your prospects and as they move forward in the business the rewards will be shared by both parties. Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is a must read for this concept. If you have not yet read this then you can get a copy here

2. The Sales Funnel. Its crucial to understand this attraction marketing concept. I have included three videos below by Rod Moore. He does a great job of explaining this. He offers a free attraction marketing university at www.freedomduplicator.com that is well worth the time.

A lot of the material we utilized is geared toward MLM. I don’t want you to confuse this opportunity with an MLM but the tools are effective for our marketing strategies. We are a top tier network marketing business. The information shared here will give you a solid foundation on which to build your success.

With all the junk thrown around on the internet these days it can be hard for people to tell who and what is real and what may not be legitimate. I have long been a member of the Better Business Bureau and the local Chamber of Commerce through my Mortgage Business. Truthfully, this was done more for the stickers that I could put in my window and the logos on my advertisements. These add a level of credibility and hey — any little bit can help to start a conversation. Once that conversation is started, there will be no credibility issues as potential team members will quickly learn who I am and what my opportunity is about. The Association of Better Networkers (ABN) has a great code of conduct and has a very nice banner (included below). Feel Free to click on it and check it out. It is good to know there is a community dedicated to keeping a high level of integrity and maintaining social responsibility in our industry.

All The Best!!

Work From Home or Work From Anywhere?

Do you want an opportunity to work from home? Or is it freedom itself that you are truly after? The answer for me is easy. I want the freedom. I have been chained to my brick and mortar businesses long enough. Stealing a three day weekend here and there isn’t the kind of annual vacation plans I have for my three children and certainly isn’t the freedom I expect from being an entrepreneur. I realize great effort is involved in building a business. I renewing a focus on putting in a concerted effort in building it up front and then letting it run and maintain profitability for the long term. This requires a system, which is the cornerstone of this internet marketing plan.

I do like the fact that I have not had a boss in almost ten years. I have enjoyed success in my mortgage business. The problem is that I was never really leveraged. The automation was never in place. Given the current changes in the mortgage business I don’t know if I can ever be leveraged and gain the freedom I wanted from being my own boss. So started what I call — “The Search”. This search lasted almost a full year and was necessary for me to gain experience and first hand knowledge of all the junk that is put out there.

When I started searching for a work from home “exit strategy”, I had a few qualifying factors in mind. One was that the company had to be legitimate, honest and reputable. If I was going to put my reputation and name on something then it needed to be completely legitimate. The second factor was that it needed to be profitable. Thirdly, I wanted to be able to work from my laptop – from anywhere. Work from home sounds good, but “working from anywhere” sounds better. There were many other factors I was looking for in a work from home business opportunity but I will keep it to three here.

I am enjoying the work in this business model. The work is not hard, although it’s easy to become overwhelmed with information at times. That said, there’s definitely a learning curve as I have not done much in the way of internet marketing in my other businesses. I am already receiving the rewards in five short weeks and that is very motivating and re-enforces my commitment. I have run a franchise before where it took three years to reach a break even point and that wasn’t even factoring in my start up costs.

So now I am realizing results and the next step is to work with those that allowed the results to begin. Building a team is a major part of building my success. Assist the team members grow their businesses and the success of my work from home or “work from anywhere” opportunity will be a foregone conclusion.
