Struggling in your business?

Feb15

Are you struggling in your business to make any money at all?  Maybe you’re just breaking even, but just can’t grow your business enough to meet those goals and expectation you had when you first started.

You’ve reached the point where most direct sales wannabe’s call it quits..

Don’t be a wannabe…

You know, the difference between distributors who struggle just to make a dime and the super affiliates making thousands of dollars of monthly residual income is that the super affiliates have pushed through the hard times, learned from their mistakes, and gone on to become rockstars. We are all the same. It doesn’t take a degree to be successful in your business. You just have to want it bad enough and not let anything get in the way of your dreams.

Don’t be a wannabe… JUST DO IT! Everyone struggles, remember that. It’s the one’s that throw in the towel and don’t want to climb that next mountain are the one’s who aren’t successful and stay in the same pattern of life, over and over and over again. Be different. Do it for YOU and your family. Go against the norm. Keep the vision, do what it takes.

19 Things To Be Successful

19 Hard Things You Need To Do To Be Successful

You have to do the hard things.

What are the 19 hard things you need to do to be successful?

Make the call you’re afraid to make.

Get up earlier than you want to get up.

Give more than you get in return right away.

Care more about others than they care about you.

Fight when you are already injured, bloody, and sore.

Feel unsure and insecure when playing it safe seems smarter.

Lead when no one else is following you yet.

Invest in yourself even though no one else is.

Look like a fool while you’re looking for answers you don’t have.

Grind out the details when it’s easier to shrug them off.

Deliver results when making excuses is an option.

Search for your own explanations even when you’re told to accept the “facts.”

Make mistakes and look like an idiot.

Try and fail and try again.

Run faster even though you’re out of breath.

Be kind to people who have been cruel to you.

Meet deadlines that are unreasonable and deliver results that are unparalleled.

Be accountable for your actions even when things go wrong.

Keep moving towards where you want to be no matter what’s in front of you.

You have to do the hard things. The things that no one else is doing. The things that scare you. The things that make you wonder how much longer you can hold on.

Those are the things that define you. Those are the things that make the difference between living a life of mediocrity or outrageous success.

Hard things are the easiest things to avoid. To excuse away. To pretend like they don’t apply to you.

The simple truth about how ordinary people accomplish outrageous feats of success is that they do the hard things that smarter, wealthier, more qualified people don’t have the courage — or desperation — to do.

Do the hard things. You might be surprised at how amazing you really are.

No Results? How do I stay motivated.

Jan25

motivation

There are a couple of ways that you can stay motivated while you are not getting results. One is to look at people who are very successful that also failed. Look at Ray Kroc who was a failure his whole entire life until he stumbled upon a burger stand and ended up buying out that little burger stand and created McDonald’s in the 60s. Elvis Presley got kicked off that Grand Old Opry stage and was told to go back truck driving.  Look at all your upline Directors in your business!  Do you think they felt like it was going well all the time for them?  NO!  They struggle too!

Not getting results is part for the course. It’s just how it is. It is how it is for everyone in a network marketing business.  You are NOT alone! Sometimes it is hard to stay motivated.

How to become successful is to be persistent through failure.

That is literally only 50% of the equation. Now most people are persistent. You have to persistent through failure… over and over again.  This is how to GET to success.

I failed in a lot of different things. Thank God, I tried one more time. One more time.

It’s normal….you have to understand that. Normal for EVERYONE. It’s normal to be doing work and not getting results. That’s normal. Keep going. Be persistent. Let the vision of who you want to become pull you pass these obstacles and this is why. Just having a WHY isn’t enough. It’s not enough to have a why. You have to have a vision of who you want to become that is so powerful. Who are you? Who do you want to become? That vision is so critical to get you past the obstacles because there will be obstacles all along the way.  Be persistent through failure.

How to get People to Join your Business

Jan22

network-marketing

The question really is, how do you get people to do anything?

How do you get people to join your business? When someone says to me that no one is joining their team, I say “Okay, how many people did you prospect last week?” “Well, only two.” Well, okay, even if you’re amazing at recruiting, and you have a 50% close rate, that’s one person.

How many people are you asking on a daily basis? That’s a big question. Are you speaking with at least 2 new people a day, 10 people a week?

There is hope. Yes, there is.

So how do you get people to join your business? You have heard it is a numbers game and it certainly is, however, you should always be working on improving your skills. Mindset and personal development skills. There are many network marketing industry trainers out there to tap into.  Always work to improve your conversion rate and the way that you do that is by listening to network marketing trainings online, going through network marketing books, practice, all of these things. Spend time studying the network marketing industry. Learn more on persuasion, influence, prospecting, closing.

So, want more people to join your team? Number one, work on your skills and that comes with practice. That comes with studying. Number two, it does come to a numbers game. It does.

19 hard things you do to be successful

I don’t want to say to just keep prospecting without giving you the advice of work on your skills too, so it’s a one-two punch. You work on your skills, and you get out there and hit the numbers.  That is how you will build a large organization and an awesome business. Best wishes. You got this!

Where do you want to be in 5 years?

Jan21

Where would you like to be in 5 years with your business?

One of the top reasons for owning your own business is that it leads to financial freedom. Meaning, being able to earn lots of money without you needing to be there. The problem with a job is that you are “Selling time for money”. This means that you can never stop working because your income also stops. With a business, you have hundreds of customers (distributors) that are generating the income. This means you can go on holiday for a month and be making more money when you come back than when you left!

It is very difficult to be able to double your income with a job.

In fact, the average pay rise is currently around 2%. This is crazy, especially since inflation is closer to 10%. However, with a business, it is a lot easier to get twice as many “customers” next year than the last, which in turn doubles your income. The smart people are now building their own businesses on the side.

Where do YOU want to be in 5 years?

You don’t have to get paid by the hour!

Stop Complaining and Change!

Jan12

How many times have you seen an, “Ugh, I hate Mondays” post on social media?

I-Hate-Mondays-Simpsons-Picture

Those who are completely happy have put themselves in that position because anything other than happiness just isn’t acceptable. They made sacrifices and worked hard until they reached the level of happiness they were striving for.

It all comes down to identifying what it is that you want, formulating a plan to get there and then working hard until you reach your desired goal. It has nothing to do with luck.

If you are unhappy, you currently have two options: You can complain about it and hope it magically changes, or you can set out to make a change. For the latter, here is a simple four-step plan to help you achieve happiness. If you are unhappy you owe it to yourself to make a change — life is too short to delay any longer.

1. Determine why you are unhappy.

There are several reasons why you could be unhappy — you could be working a job that you don’t truly love, working with people you don’t enjoy being around or doing something you are over-qualified for.

It might not be work related at all — you might be in a dead end or unhealthy relationship. There could be a million different reasons, and it’s up to you to identify them. Whatever they are, just know that you aren’t going to find true happiness until you first single out what the problem is.

2. Change your attitude.

The first thing I mentioned above was the “FML” and “Ugh, I hate Mondays” social media status updates we all see on a regular basis — that type of attitude sets the tone. If you are constantly filling your head with a negative outlook, what do you expect will happen?

Negative thoughts breed negativity and unhappiness, while positive thoughts breed positivity and happiness.

When it comes down to it we are all responsible for our own happiness. The only way you will be happy is by changing your attitude and understanding that you are in full control, and fully capable of changing your situation.

3. Create a plan to reach happiness.

When you know why you are unhappy and are armed with a positive attitude, you can start to devise a plan to achieve happiness. This is where many people hit a mental roadblock and self-doubt enters their minds.

“I’m not going to find a better job.”
“I wont find someone else.”
“I’m too old to start a business.”

Excuses are made to justify remaining miserable. If you are serious about truly being happy you need to push all self-doubt out of your mind and commit to developing a plan to become happy. Determine what your ultimate end goal is and reverse engineer the steps you will need to take to reach it.

4. Take action and don’t look back.

With your plan outlined it’s time to move forward and never look back. Simply taking action doesn’t guarantee results — your journey to happiness could include mistakes, rejection and disappointment. But if you don’t take action there is only one guarantee, and that is your situation will never improve and you will remain unhappy.

Happiness isn’t going to happen overnight — you have to continue to push forward, regardless of how difficult it may appear.

The Turning Point

Jan1

The Turning Point!

I usually listen in every morning to some sort of training or inspirational video or article to get my day going on a positive note and make that turning point in my day.

What is a positive attitude?

The first step to looking at the positive side of life is to be optimistic! You are capable of optimism even if you are a glass half empty kind of guy. When your car breaks down on the side of the road, you can look at it as an opportunity or a challenge! You can time how long it takes for a tow truck to arrive and when it gets there, be friendly to the tow truck driver! You can both start talking and before you know it, you may have a friend in this world that you didn’t have before! This is only one example of how you can take life’s negatives and turn it into something positive.

Positive thoughts lead to a positive attitude, while negative thoughts lead to a negative attitude. Changing your attitude is as easy as hitting the “pause” button on what you’re thinking and choosing to think different thoughts.

In order to have a positive attitude, focus on the good. Focus on the good in yourself, the good in your life, and the good in others.

Individuals who have a positive attitude will pay attention to the good, rather than bad in people, situations, events. A simple example of a positive attitude; when you are having a very bad run of luck but you still say “Good Morning” rather than “What’s so good about this morning”.

Enjoy and have a wonderful day!
