Be A Pumper Not A Jumper!

Sound like a strange title for a post here? It isn't. This just came to me after viewing several posts in one of the forums I contribute to. It's always the same - the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Sometimes that is the case - but the reason it is greener is because it gets watered! Are you watering your business daily? Are you giving it the attention it needs and deserves? They say plants thrive when you talk to them. I don't know what causes that, but if you love your plants - talk away!

Do you expect a tree to grow from an acorn within a week? Of course not. You may see a little stub within a week and then that acorn, with proper food and water, will grow into a mighty oak, but that takes a few years. Your home based business is the same - it needs to time to mature and grow. If you really want to make money online - you need to come to the reality that there is no quick fix - no matter what line of BS someone is shoveling your way.

It is no secret that if you are involved in a network marketing business you will have a 5-10% chance of success. Yet, you are still here looking for soemthing that you do not have - money, time, freedom. For everyone it is different. i can tell you, as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow, that this industry IS the best on the planet. Not because people get rich, but because in order to get rich - you must take people with you. The more successful you help other people to become the more successful you will become.

If you understand that concept, you understand the network marketing industry. You will succeed and be able to make money online with your very own home based business. Do not be afraid of the struggle - it will make you a better person. Success University has a great program for self improvement and motivation. Check it out! It is priceless.

So get your business pumped up with enough food and water to last a lifetime. Stop jumping to the so called latest and greatest. If it is meant to be it is up to YOU.

Maintaining Focus Is Essential For Success

This is the most important factor in your success or (heaven forbid!) your failure. I have spoken to numerous people from all walks of life. The one thing sticks out besides attitude, which is a given, is that FOCUS is mandatory for success! You must be focused on the goal!

You see it on the sports field all the time. Baseball, basketball, hockey - whatever. If you are not focused - you will not win!

In internet marketing this is especially hard since we are mainly working for home in front of our computer. This is good and bad. We are constantly bombarded with the lastest and the greatest. The automatic millionaire program that allows us to plug in and turn on and cash those checks while slappin' back a cold one in the ol' lazy boy! How many times have you gotten info on one of those.

If you take your eye off the ball to chase the latest and greatest, you will find after much frustration that you are in the same spot you started from but a little older and much broker.

I spoke to a woman on my team the other day and she was doing this and doing that, signed up for this program and that reseller program with every imaginable affiliate. She wants so much to succeed and make extra money, but she is not focused. She is spending her time chasing every so called opportunity that she is frustrated and can't seem to do anything. I told her she needs to pick one thing and focus on it.

Wether she will or she won't - that is up to her. I can take her so far and she needs to make the decision to go the rest of the way.

No matter what you are involved in - you can succeed and get the life you want. 95% of the opportunities are good viable businesses that you can succeed with. Yes, there are scams on the internet, but that is the exception rather than the rule. Do yourdue diligence and focus on the goal and go get 'em.

Keep your eye on the ball and win!

To Great Success,

Send Out Ships

I read a great book it's called "Zero to Zillionaire" by Chellie Campbell. She goes through 8 steps to more abundance in your life. Not so much how to get the most money, but how to be more balanced - to be rich in every aspect of your life. This is what we all want, or it should be.

The truth of the matter is that money does not buy happiness, and any rich person can tell you that. It is easy for them to say because they have all the money they need. As people that are trying to make money online or at some type of home based business like network marketing or MLM, it has some great things to take from it. One thing Chellie talks about is sending out ships, which you must do if you want YOUR SHIP TO COME IN. If you have no ships out there, don't be suprised if nothing comes back.

Sending out ships has a lot to do with networking, whether it be in person or on the internet in forums or through email. You must get your name and business out there in order for you to be successful and have your ship come in. It can be a long process or a short one. It is all relative.

One thing is for sure, you must take action. Don't just sign up for a program or start a business and hang your shingle on the door and turn on your computer and sit back and relax. The real work is just starting. Network marketing, MLM, Internet marketing, Home based business, or whatever you are doing needs to be a focused activity in order for your ship to come in.

Go ahead, man the decks. Send out those ships!

What you really need to know...


The first thing you need to do is make a list of everything
you want in a home based business. When I was looking for a new
opportunity I had a list of things I wanted from the
company. Here is my list:

1. Lead capture page- this is where prospects put in
their name and email address to get more info.

2. Follow-up system - I didn't have a lot of time
to do follow-up so I wanted a company that
would follow with my prospects.

3. A pay plan that would promote depth- after
looking at various comp plans, I wanted one
that would enable me to earn money based on my
upline's work- known as spillover, usually found
in binary plans.

4. A pay plan that would have no limit on the levels
that they payout. Some plans only pay 5-9 levels
deep. I wanted to find a company that would pay on
unlimited levels.

Those were the things that I wanted out of the company and
pay plan. You may want different things, but I wanted a
company that would do it's best to help me be successful.

Here is an example of what I am talking about in 1 & 2,
this company fulfilled all my requirements:

Success


Other things I was looking for:

1. A worldwide opportunity that would not be limited
to only specific countries. The internet is a big
place and I wanted no limitations.

2. A product I could believe in and would use-
this is important, because afterall you will be
promoting this and if you do not believe in it
you will not be successful.


Remember what the list was in "what are your prospects
really thinking about?" Go through that list and see if you
like the answers. Do your own checklist and make sure
you feel it is a good fit. But, you should always remember
the old saying- "if it is meant to be, it is up to me!" YOU
are the most important person in your business.

You can do it! I believe in you!

Go and check it out:

Success


It is very important that when you choose the best home business
for you, that is what you focus on. Do not try to promote
more than 1 business in the beginning. Wait until that
business is making you a good income and then you can
branch out.

You need to spend your time building the business and if
you do not focus then the danger is that you will get over-
whelmed with too much info and give up. I have seen this
many, many times. Give yourself the best chance to
succeed!

So many choices – I think I am going crazy!

If you have been surfing the web for more than an hour
you know there are many business opportunities- too
numerous to count, and more coming everyday. You
may be thinking that I should have discussed this first,
but there is a method here. Everything thus far has been
about what it takes to succeed and what is expected of
you and what you should expect. After learning all that,
you are now ready to delve into choosing a business for
yourself.

I am not going to be the one to sit here and tell you which
one's are good and which are not. YOU need to do the
due diligence and decide for yourself. This IS YOUR
business afterall. I can help you by giving you some
resources to check out the not so ethical ones;

Try: www.scam.com and www.fairtradeauthority.com

The key to this whole process is not to get bogged down
with looking at so many that you get info overload! It needs
to be a good fit since you will need to commit to
it for at least 1 year. The reason for this is that you
can't give yourself a fair shot at success if you don't give
it at least that long. Remember what we spoke of at first-
a traditional business takes 3 years to turn a profit. The
least you can do is stay in for 1 year.

There is one thing you need to remember- there is no
such thing as a PERFECT business, only a good fit
for you. That is what you want- if you spend your time
looking for the 'perfect opportunity' you will never
start a business because the grass will always seem
greener somewhere else.

Put on your investigative caps and go looking for that
business that will make you want to get up in the
morning!!

Next: What you really need to know!

Location, Location, Location!
Or
Promote, Promote, Promote!



We have heard always that the 3 most important things
in Real Estate is location, location and location. That is
very true and no one can dispute it. Just like in real estate,
the 3 most important things in Network Marketing:
Promote, promote, promote! No one can dispute that
either!

So you've found the perfect opportunity (more about this
next time), with the best comp plan and you vow to be the
best sponsor. Now you just wait for the phone to ring,
right? Of course not, you know and I know that people
have to know about YOU! After all this is a business. I
heard a commercial on the radio the other day and it was
about realtors. Them being small business owners in your
community. It is funny that they have to advertise a realtor
as a business owner, but that is what they are. If they don't
sell a house, they don't get paid.

It is easy to forget when most of us are used to punching a
clock and collecting a paycheck, what it means to be in
business for yourself. No matter what business you are
in you MUST PROMOTE yourself and your business.

This is where most Network Marketers fail. They do not
know how to promote and they do not have any money to
promote with. A typical scenario would go like this: 'Jim'
signs up and scrapes together the money for the kit and
materials he needs to get started. The first problem he runs
into is he doesn't have any money left to use to promote
his business.

The KEY TO SUCCESS in this business is promoting the
opportunity you are involved with. It is a very simple
process. You get yourself in front of as many people as
you can. The internet makes this very easy since the
internet has over 1 billion people online. Here is what
nobody talks about: IT WILL COST YOU MONEY
TO ADVERTISE.

Your first task even before you choose an opportunity, is
to figure out how much you are able to spend each month
on promoting your business. That figure is very important
and you need to stick to it. When you start your business
let your sponsor know what your financial status is. It will
help both of you.

I like to do this with my team, this is so I know where
everyone stands. Everybody will work at their own pace.
Some will have $300 to spend and some will have $50.
If you don't have a lot of money then you will need to
spend time, ie. Traffic exchanges, forum marketing, and
safelists. Those are only a few. Bottom line is your time
is just as valuable(maybe more) than money!

Time is money, make your time count. My business uses several
things from a very successful ad-coop, that allows our team to
pool resources and reach more people, therefore we all share
in the success without risking a lot of money. I am also
developing a program with an ebook that can be sold to generate
money on the front end. It's all about teamwork!

Next: So many choices- I think I am going crazy!
