You don't have to be an expert in network marketing

Actually it is impossible to be an expert on network marketing yourself.

There is just to much stuff to know.  If anyone claims to be an expert they are lying.  If you want to be a leader in network marketing you need to make sure you have a group, a mastermind of people that you can turn to for

answers.  Don't ever lie about an answer so you don't look bad, that is destructive ego and is not beneficial  to your business. Remember you have the hopes and dreams of real people and they are looking for guidance and truthfulness when you teach them.  Having leaders and mentors that bring there specialty to the group is the only way to really be successful in this industry.  So you don't have to be an expert, but you can point to someone who is, on a certain subject.  One of my mentors has been in network marketing for over 20 years.  If I were to ask him a question on how to create back links for my blog so I can get more visits to my site and get a higher listing Google search, he would tell me to go to Don, another mentor, and ask him.  He is the expert on that.  You don't need to be an expert. You just have to know where or from whom you can get the answer.  You need to be a professional pointer.   You also have to have a place or person to point them to.  You cannot build this business by yourself, many have tried all have failed.  The only ones that have been successful or have a real opportunity to be successful,are the ones who have a mastermind group.  A group of leaders and mentor's that are combined and work together, can be an expert in network marketing.

Learning is an ongoing process

Learning is an ongoing process

It never stops, ever. The day you stop learning is the day your business stops growing. You will not see this happen right away, but as time goes on it will become very apparent. It is the Slight Edge Philosophy--The Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen--. If you have not indulged it that book it is a must for all networkers.

Don't just read a book one time

If a book is really worthwhile and helpful, don't just read the book one time. Read it 2,3 4 times. When you read a book one time you get a snippet of good information here and there, but if you read it more than once you will really start to learn more every time. For example I have read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill 4 times. I also am on a call every week, write a lesson, submit it to a forum and discuss the chapter every week with others. The knowledge of the 13 principles in the book has increased my understanding of myself in ways I never knew. It has helped my business grow faster and more consistently. You need to take 3 or 4 books and really go through them a few times to get the most out of it. If you are on a book of the month club or 2 books a month, rethink it. Get a couple of books and read them 3 times each before you move on.

What you need to know before joining any network marketing company------ Part 2

What are some of the things to look for and how to find them

So you got a presentation on a company, and it looks like the best thing in the world.  They told you how fast they are growing,  that making money if you have a big enough dream and talk to your family and friends this will be a breeze.  Oh and the person giving the presentation is a big 4 star universal gem level 6 times over.  He will tell you that he built his organization in a little over 6 months.  I'm exsaturating a bit, but probably a little bit.  you are so ready to sign on the dotted line...STOP.  Take a deep breath.  The same opportunity will still be here next week and if it isn't then you just saved yourself so money.  So as I said in part 1 do some research.

The internet is a great place to do some real research

.
You can start by checking this site.  www.mlmwatchdog.com This site tells it like it is about any network marketing company with no hype.
- You will want to do some searches on the owner or CEO of the company.  You want to format the seach like this " First name  Last Name"  press enter.  do not click on the first or second page start about page 4-5 and see if anything shows up.  If nothing bad shows up then mark it good.  Ask this question to your maybe soon to be upline.  "Has to owner of this company built his own organization in any other mlm company.  If he doesn't know then have him ask his upline and so on.  If the Owner of the mlm company has not built his own organization, then he does not know what it takes.  he is a corporate guy and is looking at the bottom line.  Why is this important?  If the company is not making enough money the first thing they will do to stay in business is cut the commissions (your money) to be paid out.  That means you would make less money with more effort.  The network marketing companies that are created out of successful network marketers know what you want and need and will work with you more.

Ask the 10,000.00 question. 

 The question is How many people does it take to have in my organization to make 10,000.00 per month.  Why is this important?  Look at it this way, if you needed 2500 people or 400 people in your business to make 10,000.00 per month what would you chose, if all else was equal.This is very important.  It really lets you know who much is pair to the field(distributors). You can really break it down just by dividing the number of people you need by 10,000.  Example 1 -- 2500 / 10,000 =  4.00 per person on the avg.  Example 2 400/10,000 = 25.00 per person.  That is a big difference.  If you want to know why some companies pay a smaller amount per person you can find out by downloading this free e-book.

Your responsibility is to you.

My Mentor Michael Dlouhy sent this to me.  It is a great rule to follow by in your life and in your mlm business. Its a great read.

People get mixed up about their responsibility in their life.
You are NOT responsible for what other people do. Sometimes someone does something that harms you and you think, "I shouldn't have let that happen."
Not true. You are not responsible. If you try to claim responsibility for something that is not in your power to control, then you actually diminish your ability to control your life. Why? Because deep inside, you know such actions are out of your control. And if you make yourself responsible for something that is out of your control, then you are walking down a losing road.
You ARE 100% responsible for how you react to what other people do. You don't have to be "done in" by anything anybody else does. It is your decision what you focus on. So how you react is always your choice. If you choose to react as a victim, then once again, you are walking down a losing road. The correct choice is to learn from your mistake and put yourself in a position where YOU are in control of the situation, never a victim. This may take some thought, but the solution is always there.
You are NOT responsible for bad things that happen in your life. You ARE 100% responsible for how you react to the bad things that happen. --Michael Dlouhy.

The lesson-  Keep control of YOUR life.  That is the only thing in your control.  When something bad happens to you, respond in the most positive way you can.  Don't follow down the road of victim it gets you no where and the goal is to keep moving forward in your life and business.
