The secret to excelling DURING Tough Times

In today's economy, there are two groups of people.
One group will struggle to achieve in this economy - and will rarely find happiness. How they live 5, 10, or 15 years from now will be a carbon copy of how they live today.
You may be surprised to learn that the other group will improve their lives because of the economy!
Yes, this group can recite stunning personal success stories - one after another. And their life satisfaction today is off the scale. Give them a month, and they can accomplish miraculous feats.
In just a moment, you'll discover the unknown key that determines in which group you may spend the remainder of your life.

The secret to excelling DURING Tough Times

[Group A]
This is the group you hear most about in troubled times. This group believes that the economy has swallowed half the nation.
The people in this group brace themselves for the worst to come. So they wait. They wait in fear. They wait to improve their lives - not knowing what's coming, if it's coming, and when it's coming. Like victims, they wait. And will continue to wait until someone informs them that the economy is strong again.
As they wait … life's grand opportunities pass them by.

[Group B]
There's also a smaller second group of people you rarely hear about. These people don't WAIT.
They Just DO IT.
In fact, the people in this group could care less how THE economy is doing. Because THEIR personal economy is doing great.
While the rest of the country is licking their wounds and waiting, these people refuse to participate in the economic troubles. In fact, they can't. Because they're too busy achieving their dreams.
Yes, people in this second group have plenty of money, a secure job, and a promising future. But that's not why they're able to live their lives so freely.
They have something more powerful - something that can't be taken away no matter how tough times get.
Something that will turn impossibilities into actualities and can make the coming year the most exciting, successful year of their life.
Simply knowing it can mean the difference between surviving in Group A. Or thriving in Group B.
I'll share with you what they know.

How to scale any obstacle - ANY MOUNTAIN - before you

Right now, as people trudge through today's economy, many of them are taking a giant step backwards. Any and all progress they made in their careers, their finances, their health have been erased.
The truth is: These WILL NOT be the only tough times you face. There will be more. Perhaps it's the death of a loved one. Or losing a job. Or a health concern. Maybe it's another downturn in the economy a few years from now.
If you never learn how to excel during these tough times - you'll never get anywhere. Because for whatever progress you make, you'll take a giant step backwards when times are tough.
The answer to achieving your dreams?

Excelling during tough times.

It was revealed some two hundred years ago. In Australia of all places.
More than two hundred years ago, the English colony of Sydney, Australia, faced problems that would make our current economic concerns seem trivial.
Besieged by an ocean on one side and a great mountain range to the west, food was scarce.
Unless they could cross the mountains and exploit the fertile land, everyone would starve.
Now that's "tough times"!
After many deadly attempts to cross the mountain chain, it was declared that the mountains were unconquerable. Because so, the range was named The Barrier Mountains.
Today, I be the first to tell you that every time you give a situation a negative label, you reinforce the power of the negative forces in that situation.
So, naturally, the people became convinced that the Barrier Mountains were, indeed, uncrossable.

(Let's just call these people Group A - see any resemblance?)

Well, in 1813, three young, adventurous men decided they were going to go where no man had - the other side of The Barrier Mountains.
They studied every trip that had been made.
What they found will surprise you.
What they found is the unknown key to your best life.
They determined that every single one had failed because they all crossed through the valley approach. They all followed the hollows path of the hills, but the hollows paths all led to steep cliffs.

They all failed because they took the easy way.

These three men realized the key to winning at life. The toughest way IS the winning way!
Needless to say, these three men had the first colonial view of the great fertile plains of
Australia. They succeeded. They saved the colony.

Now, let me ask you:

What mountains appear right in front of you?
Is your mountain your career? Your health? Your financial strength? Your relationships?
Even in the most discouraging situations. Even facing the largest and steepest mountains, you can maintain high levels of achievement, satisfaction and happiness.
The secret lies in a the setting of specific and practical goals to help you become MORE TOUGH than the toughest times.

The Missing Link for Growing Your Business

This was an E-mail sent to me from Tim Sales today

Hey Bob,

Of all the skills you can possibly develop to grow your network marketing business, one stands head and shoulders above the rest.



If this skill is developed you'll find your downline grows without much effort. Of course I'm not suggesting you won't have to work... what I am saying is: the work won't be so frustrating.



Picture what it would be like if you could - almost overnight - begin converting more prospects into distributors. How would your life change?



Would your income take an immediate jump? I'm sure it would.



Would you feel fulfilled that you set a goal and achieved it? I'm sure you would.



Would your family and friends-even the ones who doubted you could ever achieve any success in network marketing-begin to ask you more about what you do (Because now they're interested after they've seen your success)?



I know they would! I've had it happen to me - and I've seen it occur many times with my downline.



What one skill could possibly do all this for you?



Effective Communication.



Without it, your dreams of a massive downline and easy profits will never be reached. With it, everything gets easy and the money just gets ridiculous!



How To Master Effective Communication



Developing communication skills has been difficult for many. More than likely, this dates back to your elementary school experience.



If you struggled with English class...or... you dreaded presenting a book report in front of others... or... you didn't like to read, all of these factors could have played a major role in shaping your perception about your abilities to present to a prospect and convert them into your organization.



When I hear stories about how someone's third grade teacher would give negative marks for their presentation, or, how a seventh grade teacher would immediately critique a presentation someone made in front of the entire class - it makes me want to confront these teachers and tell them how damaging their remarks are, were and will continue to be...



...and, that despite their years of training and experience, they really don't know how to teach the art and science of communication.



I know - I used to be one of these guys. Someone who thought I couldn't talk to prospects well or effectively.



If it wasn't for my persistence in developing this critical skill, I would have NEVER achieved my financial dreams.



Once I developed this skill, my downline and in.come skyrocketed.



Why? Because my ability to effectively communicate to prospects enabled me to convert a larger number. Therefore, as I'm sure you know: the more people in my downline, the more money I made.



But I didn't stop there. I knew for breakthrough success, I'd have to train my downline in the same skills.



No one was teaching it. So, I taught it myself.



Best of all: you can now get trained in the same communication skills I used to build and train my 56,000 person downline.



It's a simple and effective system you can use to train yourself and others. When you master this skill, your ability to convert prospects will become so easy...especially in this down economy.



I personally used this through - TWO tail-spinning economies. Two booms and busts. Two periods where people were making money... and two periods where they thought the money was gone and no one was spending.



But here's a fact you may not know: Network Marketing actually grows when the economy tanks.



But, your business won't grow if you can't communicate effectively.



To help your business grow right now, I've put together my own Stimulus package. I'm knocking 20% off my very popular Brilliant Communicator CD set and Training Course but you've got to act fast.



So click the link below and learn how to communicate like a pro and watch your downline and in.come reach new heights. You deserve it. Do it for yourself and reap the benefits of learning this skill...



Discover How You Can Communicate Brilliantly By Clicking Here Now



Dedicated to your success, Tim Sales

Kind of need to know what your doing

Tonight I was listening in on a conference call that my buddy Tim Sales had. Some of you may know Tim, but for those who don't Tim is arguably the guru of Network Marketing with huge down lines and a successful marketing business. The man knows his stuff.

Tonight he talked about what you need to know so that prospects don't put off joining your company or delay buying your product or service.

There are three broad categories about this business that you must know in order to eliminate, or better yet, PREVENT hesitation and excuses.

You must:
  1. Know your company
  2. Know all about network marketing
  3. Know about your products

Now more than ever, it's important to the success of your business to have as much knowledge as possible on these three topics, because when you are knowledgeable, your prospects respect you, and listen to what you say, and follow your suggestions.

He suggested that you not take 3 months to learn it but do it as fast as you can because you never know when you may run across a Tim Sales or someone of that caliber and you better at the very least know the basics or be able to get the info in a phone call ASAP.

Given the current economic climate there are plenty of people looking for a job, or even some extra income. This is significant to the growth of your business because you have something that thousands of people need NOW.

There's just one thing you need to be aware of and that is:

Prospects hesitate signing that distributor agreement because they don't fully understand what you're sharing with them. And their hesitation turns into all kinds of objections and excuses. If you can have them understand what it is that you are talking about and it makes sense to them they will join you and buy your product but again it has to make sense to them.

One of the greatest tools for this is the Brilliant Compensation video that Tim has on his website: http://www.firstclassmlmtools.com/

Someday Soon, You Will See (I Hope)

Hey Team (and friends)
The other day I was sitting out in the oil field watching the pump jacks go up and down and up and down and, well you get the point. It started me to thinking about how our business is a lot like those pumps, my company put money and time into producing those wells and now they just sit out there and produce income for the company.

Everyday they provide money to our company with out ever having to do anything but some maintenance ever now and then.

That's the true meaning of residual income. That's what Ive been trying to tell everybody for the last few months, that if you will work on building a team of people that get this concept you can basically never work for the rest of your life.

Could you imagine getting up in the morning and not working if you didn't want to and still be getting payed for it, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE


Anyway something to think about

Is Social Networking Sites All That?

I have recently posted a profile on three of the social networking sites . One of the reasons that I got on Face book, Twitter and My space, is the opportunity to interact with everybody that I have known in my life, is a very real possibility. I've only been on them a couple of weeks now and have found friends that I have not seen or heard from in 30 years. As I was searching for ways to better my presence on the sites I was looking for some help , this site seems to have a good grasp of how to do just that Social Marketing Journal

How To Answer The Question "What Do You Do"

Whenever we are in a social situation the question "what do you do?" is bound to come up.

It's almost as popular as "how are you?"

I'm sure you too have been the victim of a long drawn out sales pitch, when the question "what do you do?" is asked of someone in Network Marketing . I have never met anyone who wants to listen to a 45 minute sales presentation because an overeager Network Marketer believes they now have you as a lead.

If someone works retail they say "oh I work at _____". That's it, you know what they do in 5 seconds. If someone owns a business such as an air conditioning business, again you'll know what they do within 5 seconds of asking "what do you do?"

Yet for some reason, those of us in Network Marketing seem to not be able to convey what we do in under 30 seconds. I have met people and been guilty of it myself, that when asked "what do you do?" respond with a sales pitch that ends with "please join our conference call". We must remember that "what do you do?" was asked in conversation...this is not a lead.

There are just so many things you can say:
1. I sell products on a website.
2. I sell advertising via content rich websites.
3. I sell products for a direct sales company.
4. I represent a direct sales company.
5. I help people learn about _______(fill in one or two words here).




The answer to "what do you do?" should not be a sales pitch but rather a conversation starter. If someone says to me "I work at _________(insert retail store name here) then I say "oh I've never heard of them before" or I can say "oh wow, I shop there all of the time" or I can say "oh what do you do there?". The one sentence of "I work at _____" began a conversation".


Given the above five suggestions, one might then say to you "oh what do you sell?" or "wow, how long have you been doing that?" or "I've never done that, how did you get started?" Those five above ideas are conversation starters, not full blown sales pitches. You now can see where the conversation leads.

See if you can come up with at least five short answers to "what do you do?" that will begin conversations for you, no matter where you are.

You Know What The Real Problem with Network Marketing Is!

It never stops amazing me the extreme views that people have on the topic of network marketing and MLM's. Some people are passionate about it in one extreme or the other, and there are even top celebrity authors like Tim Sales, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki that are either in MLM's or advocating them. Yet, with many people, you might as well commit murder rather than admit to being in a MLM.

If it's not the business model itself that offends people, what is the problem with MLM's or network marketing?
Maybe it's the pyramid structure? But you can't really take issue with the tiered compensation structure—almost every large sales organization in the world has that. Salespeople get commission, and sales managers get overrides or bonuses on top of that, and sales directors on top of that, and VPs on top of that.

Maybe it's the fact that you have to pay to get in it? But that can't be it—that's a standard franchising model. And I'm telling you, the franchise fee of most franchises is much more than the sign-up cost of any MLM program.

Now there are illegal pyramid, or "Ponzi", schemes. This is where all the money is being made off of signing up other people, with little or no real product ever being delivered. But in spite of whatever people may think, the fact is that Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, PrePaid Legal and many others have sold millions upon millions of dollars of products to happy customers, many of whom are NOT also reps. So, there may be a perception problem here, but if so, the perception is out of line with the reality.

The real problem with MLM is not MLM itself, but some of the people it attracts. Network marketing is just a business model. Its upside is that it has a very low cost to join, with the potential for outstanding revenue, and there are many who achieve that. Bulleted List
Bulleted List

But those same things that make Network Marketing attractive, also make it attractive to many who are not really qualified or prepared to become business owners.

People who:

  • have not done well in their business or profession and have little money saved up to invest
  • have no previous experience owning or running a business
  • have no previous experience in sales
  • have little or no experience developing business relationships other than that of employer/employee/co-worker
  • are not satisfied with their current level of income
  • have unrealistic expectations of the amount of work involved compared to the revenue realized

Don't get me wrong—I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with any of these things, or that this describes even a majority of network marketers its just that as a result, many network marketers end up:

  • inappropriately discussing business in social situations
  • focused on new recruits and neglecting existing customers as a result
  • over-selling the opportunity
  • being either inaccurate or deceptive when talking about their business
  • coming across as deserate

Again, I'm not saying that this describes a majority of network marketers, but it does describe enough of them to tarnish the reputation of the rest. To pre-judge someone based on a small minority of people in that group is horribly unfair, but we must realize that most prejudices have some basis in reality, even if it has been distorted out of proportion.

So what's the solution?

There's a first time for everything. And network marketing/MLM is a great opportunity for people to have their first business, their first sales role, etc. My point is this—recognize it for what it is: it's a business, and you are a business owner. And if you've never owned a business before or if you've never done sales before, if you've never networked before, you need to learn about how to do so, not just from the network marketing/MLM experts, but from established experts in those fields. not just swapping tips at your team's weekly or monthly meeting.

Act like a small business owner, and people will treat you like one.

Glutathione The Miracle Cure?

Is Glutathione (GSH) the bodies cure all substance, have doctors missed the boat on this tripeptide amino acid that is in every cell in the body.

It is not a new discovery, Scientist first discovered it in 1888, it has been slow to surface on the medical radar screen. Because of scarce funding, coupled with little interest or awareness by the medical community, the role that Glutathione plays in cell metabolism has been highly overlooked.

Compared to a few dozen research publications in the 1970s, today there are more than 60,000 medical articles published on Glutathione.
For years it has been know that if you could some how raise the intracellular Glutathione level that you could promote the slowing down or the stopping altogether of diseases.
There are basically three ways to introduce Glutathione to the body
  1. Swallow Glutathione in its whole form.
  2. Intravenous
  3. Ingest the components or building blocks that make up Glutathione in the cells

Let's look at these methods.

First it is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system.

Next is to introduce it to the body through intravenous injections, first it is very expensive and it only last for about four hours a shot and it is not very effective getting it into the cells because of the fact that the molecular size will not let it pass through the call walls. By the way this treatment method is what is used when a person overdoses on Tylenol to keep the liver from shutting down.

The last method that we will look at is the only one that seems to have any effect on raising the Glutathione level in the cell, that is to introduce the ingredients that the body needs to produce Glutathione in the cell. By breaking it down to the components that the cell needs to make the Glutathion they can pass through the cell walls and reassemble in the cell as Glutathione.

To date there has only been one product that can achieve this, it is so revolutionary that it carries 2 compositional patented, which is usually only given to drug companies to protect there ingredients.

MaxGXL’s® Patented Formula Dramatically Increases Intracellular GSH. MaxGXL provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body's own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL also aids in liver support, thus helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.

How To Choose The Right Multi Level Marketing Company

If you have read any of the many financial books on the market today, or talk to any of the mutimillionaires of today, you will discover that the multi level marketing or network marketing industry is exploding. Over 13 million people are involved with Network Marketing and over $100 Billion in sales worldwide thats an 80% jump in sales over the last 10 years.


Why?

Well, Network Marketers know. There are two kinds of people in this world.

The first are the kind of people that will spend their whole life building someone else’s business. The second are those who spend their life building their own business. Get the picture?

There are hundreds of companies out there. But how do you choose the one that’s best for you? This article will give you some tips and insights to make your decision easier.


Product

The product is the most important thing that you need to consider when choosing a multi level marketing company. You must be passionate about the product. Don’t just like the product or kind of like it, but totally and completely passionate about it.

Why is this important? You are going to be recommending this product to your friends and

family. Don’t you think that they will be able to tell if you aren’t passionate about it? Sure they will! Any hint of doubt will inflect on your voice, your mannerisms, and your ability to close the deal.


First of all, you should use the product for 30 days before you sign up as a rep. If you like it so much that you would use it even if you weren’t a reseller, then you have a winner.


Ask yourself this: If I tell all my friends and family about this product and they do not buy it, will I really care? If you truly are with the right product, you will not care. You will just keep on using it.


Other product consideration questions:

What other products are similar to mine in the marketplace and how does the pricing and quality compare? Is the product unique? What do I like best about my product? What do I like least about it? It should be a unique product or service with little or no competition.


How will I market this product? Online? Offline? Can you think of a marketing plan in 5 minutes or less? If you have to think about it, then it’s not the right product. If you have 100 ideas, just flowing out of your head, then you are on the right track.


What is your personality? Are you a fitness nut? Then maybe nutritional products are right for you? Are you ticked off at the current legal system? Then maybe pre paid legal. The product must match your personality.


Company:

Learn what you can about the company. Who are the founders? What experience do they have? How long have they been in business? If you get a new startup then you might have to deal with growing pains and lack of support. If you are going with an established company, then your growth potential is more limited. It’s best to stick with a company that is one to five years old.


The company should be keeping up with the latest technology. Does the company have a website? How is it? Can people sign up directly on the website? Do they have an email auto responder system set up to follow up on your leads? Do you get a custom web page? Do they set that up for free?


Another important consideration is training. What kind of training does the company provide? Do you have to pay for it? How much is it? The training cost should be less than $100. If they are constantly pressuring you into going to expensive trainings that are $500-3000 (and there are companies out there that do that), then stay away!


What kind of people are involved? Anyone successful or famous? Anyone in there that has already made a fortune somewhere else? Has anyone in the company written any mlm related books?


The next area is compensation.

Study the compensation plan. Run the numbers to figure out what you need to do to make each level. Talk to others in the company and figure out how much they are making. Ask them to show you their check. Make sure that they are making the check from actual product sales and not from sticking product in their garage.


Do your due diligence on the company. The following are a few websites you should look at in your due diligence:


Better Business Bureau- http://www.bbb.org/


Federal Trade Commission- http://www.ftc.gov/


Finally, ask around. Do a google search. See what you can dig up. Don’t sign up until you are completely satisfied that the company is legitimate.


Bottom line, the multi level marketing business can make you extremely wealthy but you must do your homework to make sure that you join the right company.
