SUCCESS IN NETWORK MARKETING (MLM) - It's all in the MIND.

SUCCESS IN NETWORK MARKETING (MLM)
It's all in the MIND

PERCEPTIONS!

It is common knowledge that Network Marketing got a bad name because of people using the principle of "PYRAMIDS" for their own benefit and to the determent of others.

To change this perception and break this vicious circle, the situation needs to be evaluated thoroughly.

One of the main reasons for this misconception is that people are UNINFORMED. What they know and learnt about it, is based on what they heard from other uninformed people. - What happens when one uninformed person tries to teach another uninformed person? Or is what they say about ONE BLIND LEADING ANOTHER true?

PYRAMID PRINCIPLE

Let's start off by looking at WHAT a PYRAMID STRUCTURE looks like.
Every LARGE organization in the world is based on a pyramid structure.

• Managing


• DirectorDirectors/Directors/Directors/DirectorsManagers/Managers/Managers/ManagersDivisional


• Heads/Divisional Heads/Divisional Heads/Divisional


• HeadsSupervisors/Supervisors/Supervisors/Supervisors/SupervisorsWorkers/Workers/Workers/Workers/Workers/Workers/Workers
  

The Public Service and all other large organizations work according to the same structure. This structure ensures effective communication and prevents chaos.

Is a Pyramid structure BAD?

Most of us work in an environment with a similar structure.

For the purpose of this discussion, we will distinguish between Pyramid structures and Pyramid scams.

Pyramid Scams are illegal!

It is based on the assumption that you have to canvas people who have to pay a fee of which you receive a part as compensation. Normally, there are no PRODUCT or SERVICE involved, and if there is a product, it is generally of inferior quality or of very little value.

The person at the top of this structure normally gets compensation (AT THE COST OF THE OTHER PEOPLE) and the last people to get on board, loose everything.

Network marketing are LEGAL!

Network marketing is considered to be the future of modern economy. Network marketing is also based on the pyramid structure, but it is not a pyramid scheme/scam. Normally, there is no start-up fee or membership fee. There is a good quality product available at market-related prices which has to be purchased by die members. A commission is then paid on the sales and this compensation is distributed throughout the structure.

The organization cannot close down, because a quality product is involved. More members will join as the demands for the specific service or product increases.

Network marketing is a type of Franchising, except that you don't need a large amount of money to get started. You also don't need to have a premises, employees or any other overheads and you can make more money than by buying a Franchise

Are you NERVOUS about the STATE OF THE ECONOMY?

PASSIVE INCOMES MAGAZINE - Issue 6

Speaking to people from all walks of life, one soon realises that the people of this wonderful nation of ours, are all extremely stressed. The state of the economy and certain labour policies are playing havoc with people’s emotions, resulting in anger management becoming a science! Whoever heard of ‘road- rage’ ten years ago?

While holidaying in Mossel Bay in December, I was asked more than once why I “seemed so ‘un-phased’ by current events?” Apart from the fact that I learnt to not lean on my own
understanding but to ‘Father-filter’ everything that touches my life, I have also learnt that history is a great teacher!

When interest rates and inflation are on the rise, folks are more inclined to wake up and realise that their current ‘income vehicle’ is not very reliable or secure. This results in a more open- minded policy where people are more inclined to look at their options.

Interestingly enough if you look at the history of Network Marketing — which made its first appearance during the depression years in the last century (1930’s). It plodded along, not making many waves in the USA economy, until the second half of the 1950’s. That was when Networks like Shaklee, Neolife and Amway entered the market.
It is significant that in 1958, unemployment in the USA was at its highest since the great depression of the ‘30’s!
Again in the early 1980’s, there was a new upsurge in the popularity of Network Marketing (then more commonly known as MLM - Multi Level Marketing). If one looked at the economic indicators of the 1980’s, again, it is interesting to note that in 1982, USA unemployment was at it’s highest in 40 years!

Turning our attention to South Africa, Network Marketing had a flurry in the mid 70’s — Golden Products was causing quite a stir - (at that time the world was experiencing the ‘oil embargo’, Rhodesia was on the verge of losing their war and Frelimo had ousted the Portuguese in Mocambique!)
Then again in the second half of the ‘90’s we saw the launch of a number of Networks (Balltron and Amway - to name just two - made their appearance at this time!) Unfortunately some did not make it and went belly-up!
Economically, during this period there was great uncertainty with the new government and its employment policies.
As more of these employment policies are being implemented, job security has become as extinct as the Dodo! Right now, unemployment is at an all time high!

We are living in exciting times, yes, but we need to recognise the responsibility we face. This industry has a solution. We must accept the responsibility of reaching out and providing hope! No-one is indispensable — even our President Thabo Mbeki no longer has job security! Now is the time to reach out and educate people about the vital importance of creating a passive income...

Looking at our economy and what history has taught us, I believe we are on the verge of seeing the most significant ‘growth period’ for Network Marketing in the history of this industry in South Africa, between now and 2010/2012.

"We are living in exciting times, yes,

but we need to recognise the responsibility we face.

This industry has a solution.

We must accept the responsibility of reaching out and providing hope!"

The Best Kept Secrets of the Rich!

During a seminar one millionaire uses an example to prove a point. He’ll hold up a one hundred dollar bill in the air with his hands and say,

“If this hundred dollar bill is available, and it is, who would want it?”

Of course, every hand in the room would go up. But, he just stands there holding it up until he eventually says,

“Does anyone really want this?”

Then after about minute or two, someone gets up out of their chair and goes up to him expecting him to give it to them. But, even then, he won’t hand it to them. He just keeps holding it up in the air until they do something.

Eventually the person has to jump up and take it out of his hands. Then the seminar leader says to the audience, “now, what did that person do differently than everybody else in the room?”

The answer is, he got out of his seat and he took ACTION. You see, even little baby steps create momentum.

Another millionaire who was one of Anthony Robbins’ first millionaire mentors said,

“.. if you start something... not only will you feel better about yourself in terms of self- esteem, which is one of the greatest things in stepping toward success, it will also start awakening a spark of ambition... But it just does not grow unless you start the process.”

Then a different millionaire from a famous company you have probably heard of said,

“. ..how many times have you seen it? That the difference between somebody who had a good idea and someone who acted on a good idea, is that the person who acted, ACTED!”

In my own life, when I decided to stop waiting for everything to be perfect and just started taking action, my whole life changed in an instant. I urge you to begin today, take action toward becoming the success story you’re capable of becoming. Take these secrets and begin applying on them immediately.

It’s only by LEARNING & APPLYING the secrets of millionaires that you have any chance of becoming one.

To YOUR SUCCESS!
