How To Find The Right Info for Success
Irena Whitfield

More and more people seeking online incomes experience problems with losing money on products that do not help them solve their situation. These people feel they buy hype and that the whole Internet is a big scam and they end up frustrated and in an attempt to want others they spread false guides and advice on how to recognize scam and hype.

And in fact, the solution is quite easy.

No one can deny the fact that there are millions of products with thousands of new ones launching every day. Many of them are great and their authors can really help their audience.

And that's where the catch is: who's their audience.

While they claim that everyone starting on the Net is their audience, it's simply not true. Most of the gurus or authors offering help and/or books and services are NOT entrepreneurs and do NOT know any business basics and do NOT know much about business generally.

They consider everything they learn a secret. So, they sell secrets. But the truth is that 99% of all this information is no secret at all, it's just plain entrepreneurial/business information. In other words: it's information obvious to every person with offline business background.

Now we come to the problem.

All people coming to the Net are automatically considered newbies with no regard to their offline background and are bombarded with secrets to online success.

Most people owning an offline business and buying all the products lose huge amounts of money on just general business information not learning anything to help them move anywhere. And what they really need is information related to items specific to the Net only.

So, where is the easy solution I promised? Three basic tips to avoid money loss and frustration are below:

• 1. Anyone starting online should realize that Internet business is a standard business as any other, only less expensive plus unique in the tools it uses and extremely powerful in its reach. And most of the offline business knowledge and strategies can be successfully applied. Fullstop.

• 2. Anyone starting online should know what kind of information they need. A little example: a person owning an offline business or a person working in a leading position in a company will hardly need information on work and time management, handling stress and stuff like that. But they may need information related to online security, and they will definitely need information on any specific online marketing strategies and related subjects.

• 3. Anyone on the Net for some time seeking ways to improve their revenues, should first analyze their situation to see where they're standing before they pay thousands on a new course. Chances are that they know most of it already.

So, the easiest way to avoid money loss on stuff you don't need is to know what you want, what you need and what you buy and from whom. It's not enough to read a hyped sales letter or jump at a hyped recommendation but it's vital to learn as much as possible about what you're going to buy and how it will help solve your specific situation at the time.

Let's face important facts:

• 1. There are no real secrets. If you come across a strategy which you don't use yet, it doesn't mean that it is a secret, it only means that you don't know it, and if it is good you should consider using it if suitable for your business.

• 2. You cannot succeed in developing a profitable business if you don't have a working system of your own: it's crucial that you first develop your own, individual system and then fill it with your business niche. The truth is that there are only better or worse individual systems producing higher or lower incomes depending on their functionality.

  I can guarantee that you will not succeed if you only, blindly copy a system of someone else's and start using it, not knowing what you're doing, what you should be doing and why. And yet we witness thousands of people doing exactly this on the Net every day.

• 3. And if you're still after the secrets. There is one: that something special which is unique to every individual successful business added by its owner and really kept secret by every successful entrepreneur: your active, highly motivated, creative and passionate personality.

If two do the same, the results are never the same. Now you know the answer why.

Today's Motivational Reading

You Are Only 3 Steps Away from Your BIG Dream
Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler

It's said less than 3 percent of the people in the world come close to achieving their true potential. I personally suspect even that estimate is high.

Why do the other 97 percent settle for so much less?

It is because they do not allow themselves to even imagine what could be possible in their lives let alone pursue it. And if you can't imagine it, you'll never create it.

Here's where it all starts...

Every super successful achiever I have ever known has said the same thing about where true success and achievement begin: It's in the dreaming of (and commitment to) big, expansive, seemingly impossible dreams.

There is simply no faster way to dissolve your so-called personal limitations than to have a really big dream. To focus on the wonderful life you are creating and the super achiever you are becoming.

When you begin to create truly big dreams, your self-esteem and self-confidence begin to soar almost magically. You immediately feel more confident about your ability to handle whatever life deals you.

An amazing TRUE story...

One of my former coaching clients is today one of the highest paid MLM pros in the entire United States. But he did not start at the top.

After one especially intense mentoring session, Rob (not his true name) set a goal of doubling his income in the coming year truly a major goal in this challenging business.

He had no idea how he would accomplish his impossible dream, but he set a goal of achieving it.

Rob began by absolutely committing to no longer accept any excuses from himself. He then passionately threw himself into analyzing his downline business builders his current bread and butter.

He looked carefully at each business builder, and discovered that about 20 percent of his downline executives were creating over 80% of his income. (It's odd, but this 20/80 percent rule seems to pop up again and again in almost all types of business and life situations.)

Rob's further analysis revealed that he was actually spending more time and energy on his low-producers than he was on his important high-producers. In short, he was over investing in the losers and under investing in his winners. This discovery shocked him deeply.

We talked it over, and Rob decided to share his findings with all of his downline executives. He scheduled a tele- conference, and fully explained his thoughts to his entire downline business-builder team.

He then explained that from that day forward, he was redirecting his energy. Although they would all continue to receive his monthly newsletter -- only his top producers would receive his personal support and coaching.

In effect, Rob drew a line in the sand. Then he encouraged all of his serious business builders to follow his lead, and to only work with their highest producers.

He then redirected his energy to create a very tight and motivated top executive team. They worked together to create a profile of the type of business builders they wanted to attract. Then they jointly invested their energy and resources into a very focused advertising and marketing campaign.

They began to dream and put focused action behind their dream. Rob did not double his money that year. He went beyond that and increased it 368 percent. And Rob's 20 percent prime business builders did equally well. Plus four of his previously weaker producers even caught the fever, and began to excel.

The 3 Steps to achieving a BIG dream... There are only three secrets to achieving your big dreams: Clarity, commitment, and focus. Here is how it goes:

Step 1 - The whole process starts with achieving clarity. You must have clarity about who you are, and exactly what it is you want to achieve. Like Rob, you may also benefit from doing a close examination of your priorities. Time is really what we have in life. Be sure you are investing it wisely, and in ways that clearly support achieving your goal.

Step 2 - Commitment is the fuel that keeps your fire burning. The stronger your commitment to achieve your goal - - the more fire and desire and belief you will manifest. And the more you begin to accomplish the things that are truly important to you, the stronger your self-confidence will become. The process feeds itself.

• Energy builds energy
• Belief builds belief
• Commitment builds commitment

Step 3 - Focus is not a casual part of this process. It is absolutely essential that you hold your mental focus on exactly what you want to be, have, and do. Apply Rob's 20/ 80 percent rule to everything you do, and especially to how you invest your basic life currency - your time.

To summarize...
Here's the strategy I recommend when I help my coaching clients put their own feet to the fire:

• Allow yourself to dream a really BIG dream

• Balance how you use your time and resources

• Focus on the things that can make a real difference in your life or business

• Take consistent, focused, committed action

As YOU allow yourself to dream really BIG dreams, you will find yourself moving closer and closer to achieving your true potential. This is tremendously exciting and gratifying.

Along the way you may have to trim-away some activities or habits that aren't really a good investment of your time and energy but you will come up stronger and more successful for it.

Today's Question For "Ask Mike!": How To Motivate A Downline.
Mike Dillard

Q: Mike, I have no problem with introducing my daily consumable products to people and having repeat product ordering. We have a system in place to make this simple. Everyone loves the products!

Most of those who come on board for the business, no matter how much support I and my upline give, give up! If they're not making a living in 12months... they're over it! I have tried in various ways to encourage them, however, duplicating myself just doesn't happen. Why?

A: That's a great question, and one that EVERY networker with at least 50 reps will start to wrestle with.

I remember feeling quite guilty... Almost depressed for some of the people's lack of success on my team. In turn, I started spending the vast majority of my time developing new websites, new systems, and new tools in order to help them achieve the success they said they so badly wanted.

I basically stopped sponsoring all together and got into the dreaded "management mode", where 90% of my time was spent on training and tool development.

But the funny part, is that nothing ever changed. It didn't matter what I did for them. It didn't matter how bad I wanted "success" for them. The people who were getting results, continued to do so, while those who were treading water, kept treading.

Understand this right now: The only thing you can do that will TRULY help your business and your team members is to lead by example.

Just do the things that you need to personally do on a daily basis to build your business - Advertising, Prospecting, Follow-up, and New Rep orientation. One training call per week for new reps, tops... Spend more of your time one-on-one with your producers, and that's it.

Just as it is a sorting game to find new reps, it is a sorting game to find reps that will work and achieve once they join.

The sad truth is that 90% of those who start a networking business aren't really serious about becoming self-employed. They are just looking to "buy some hope", so they can quiet the voices of discontent in their heads.

Soon enough, they'll find an excuse as to why "it didn't work for them", and quit.

And there's NOTHING you can do about it - So don't spend your time and energy worrying about it.

DO NOT cater to their weakness. Do not change your tools if they are working for you. Do not change your websites if it is working for you. Do not change your system if it is working for you - just because it doesn't work for others... It never will, and it's their issue, not yours.

Build YOUR business. Lead by example, and the right one's (the few), will follow you. Put your blinders on to everything and everyone else.

I tolerate ZERO negativity in my life now. Someone sends an unfriendly email... Adios. They're off my list and out of my life.

I was at a convention once and I asked a WHALE of a networking what I needed to do because my downline had gotten stagnant. (I had basically stopped recruiting). "Find new blood" was his answer, and he was right. You're not here to save people. You're here to give them an opportunity to save themselves. Most won't. And only they can ever change that.

As a business owner, it's much smarter to find "Do-ers" and leaders than it is to turn people into them (which is basically impossible without their personal conviction to do so).

It is also VERY important that you leverage LARGE numbers in your business building efforts, because you won't even notice the whiners, complainers, and quitters when you're dealing with thousands of people.

The best way to do that is to start advertising, then build and maintain a LIST that you drip on over time. Each new contact will bring new, interested prospects and reps to the table.
