THE SPONSOR MORE TRAP It’s a pretty ugly thing…..the ‘sponsor more trap.  It really is. Groups not growing? Sponsor more! Check not big enough? Sponsor more! Want to get to ‘the next level’? [Gawd, do I hate that 'next level' crap] Sponsor more! Of course when we factor in the absurd pitches from the tool peddlers….. “sponsor 10-20 per month” books “sponsor 2 a day!”...

GAIN LEVERAGE OR LOSE GROUND MLMer’s are always moving….forward or backwards. If we get sucked into the mindset out there…..I guarantee, absolutely guarantee we lose ground. This insanity of ‘sponsor more’ comes with a hidden and massive price tag.   And believe me, it’s bigger than we can think. How so? Sponsoring, especially the way the mindset is shifting…..takes time……and has bred...

FACTS ARE FACTS Multitasking will cost us…..big time.  On this there can be no debate. Except with MLMers…..who want to debate anything and everything that involves ‘change’ Ironic, isn’t it? What do we try to get people to do?  The same reason successful MLMers are the highest paid people in the world. Change.   We get people to ‘change’ their mind. There is no mystery or revelation in that...

THE PERFECT PROSPECT All done talking to people who are not motivated? Finished with people who say they don’t have the time? Had it with excuse makers? Non-professionals? Done with people who don’t have MLM experience? Ut-oh. You’re done. Sorry…..that’s just the way it is. There is no such thing as a perfect prospect…..or a bad prospect…..until……until we talk to them. IT’S ALL YOU...

ARROGANT? Is it arrogant to identify of me to identify 1 thing that will make or break you, me or anyone else in MLM? No, it isn’t.  The case I built is irrefutable ….for adults anyway. Is there a ‘pitch’ coming? You know how people post things that tell you ‘without this you will fail’…..and after they make their case you end up on a sales page? There is no ‘pitch’...

LEAD ADDICTION? if someone is telling you they’ve got a ‘system’ to generate hot prospects……hide your credit card and check to see if you’ve developed an addiction…..to leads. I just can’t seem to get my head around the addiction people in networking have to leads. Leads.  Leads.  Leads. Gotta have more leads. Good grief…..what ever happened to common sense? Look, I love the...

KEEPING MY PROMISE Last week we ran 3 blogs about a couple, a record setter and the non-supportive spouse.   Marty shared her story…..about how she made an internal decision to ‘show him’ and she did.  She is not your run of the mill gal and it would be unwise to believe that type of determination is average.  Her determination eventually swung the non-supportive spouse into a gung-ho networker.  She’s an...

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL For the next month, as promised, we are running blogs about people who overcame great difficulties to succeed.   At least most of us would think they were great difficulties.  Funny thing, the people from different companies who’ve ‘overcome’ things don’t think that much of what they did. Humility. Nice We ran 2 blogs about Marty, an inexperienced networker who set a record for hitting the...

CAN 1 THING MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Yes. 1 Thing? Can doing 1 thing make anyone successful in MLM? Yes. Anyone? As Rocky Balboa liked to say, “Absolutely.” Yesterday we ran a quick video postabout the ‘non-supportive’ spouse and how Marty Keefe not only overcame it…..she set a record to the top level achievement ranks. With no experience. And 2 kids at home. And a multi-million dollar fence business to help run with...

NO SUPPORT FROM YOUR SPOUSE? No big deal. Couple of friends of ours were in Hawaii for about 10 days…vacationing in Maui. Everybody knows we love finding average people from different companies who’ve overcome challenges we all face in MLM. Flew over for the day…..pretty cool couple.  We’re friends. Marty Keefe was not supported by her husband Joe when she started but before we get to their story, and it is...
