COMMON SENSE? I am trying to tell you that simple common sense is the key to the vault in MLM? I’m saying without it we’ll never find the keys to the vault, let alone the vault. For some reason, and it was the case with me during my failures in MLM during the 80′s, we believe that……. because we believe…….we’ll make a lot of money. We let our enthusiastic belief short-circuit our common...

EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW We’re an odd lot, eh? We’re as bad and great and wonderful and crazy as we could possibly be. As distributors we are so committed, so passionate…..so convinced about the business model that we even don’t want to ask this question ourselves….. But we are dying to hear the answer. It’s like the elephant in the living room that nobody wants to talk about but…..is dying to get it...

SECRET? Every once in a while I just gotta get this off my chest.  No, it’s not a rant…….Success Coach Kathy Zimmer only permits me 4 rants a year and I’ve already used one.   Says a good one once in a while is OK but since my life is like a fairy tale to begin with she’d rather see me sharing ideas and skills that help people grow instead of getting them all riled up.

Common sense.  Well, common sense and organized planning. Those two things led to the biggest months I’ve ever had in MLM.  But it’s even bigger. Everybody says the fall is a great building time….so …..if you have a big summer and...

[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...
