After you have created a compelling vision of where you want to take your network marketing vision, then you need to identify what actions need to be taken to get there. With any business plan, you should address three (3) basic areas:

Start using your own company’s products and services. By doing this, you will become familiar with all the applications and details that make them more desirable than your competitors. You will also develop a deep seeded belief in the value of the income opportunity that your wonderful products make possible.

Recommend your products and services to other people everywhere on a daily basis. Start putting together a list of customers as you identify the ones who will benefit most your company’s wares. Get in the habit of going through your day becoming aware of opportunities where these recommendations are needed. Network marketing has the ability to present people with useful products before you offer them the opportunity. And never sell your company short by failing to invite others to join. You may think they won’t be interested, but you don’t know for sure. Be proud of your opportunity and offer it as if you are giving them a wonderful gift.

Sponsor other people in your business only when they truly recognize its value. Make sure they realize the value of having residual income coming into their lives for an extended period of time.

While there are countless ways to apply these three (3) principles, they are absolutely bullet-proof if you continually apply them. Never forget that network marketing is nothing more than a numbers game. The more people you communicate with, the more people you will ultimately sponsor. And you must persist at all costs. It is when you realize this that your life will be transformed.

This is what’s happening to many Americans these days. Their hopes, dreams, ambitions are going down the drain. When you look at the economic landscape around you, there are all kinds of negative indicators around us that provide little encouragement.

It used to be that getting rich and becoming a millionaire was the ultimate American dream. Unfortunately for many of us, it has remained just that - a dream. And just in case things weren’t bad enough, consider these things that were occurring BEFORE the economic meltdown:

Corporate America was eliminating 3,000 jobs each day, with the majority of them gone forever because of becoming obsolete.

Americans are working longer and getting poorer. On average, workers were working 160 hours a year more than they were at the end of the 1960s.

Only 1 out of ever 20 Americans ever reaches financial independence. Most of our incomes will have to be supplemented by the earnings of others, charity, or the government to survive.

Now for the good news!

It was once said that you are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it come true, BUT you may have to work really hard for it. The thing we have to realize is that as old opportunities die off, exciting new ones are being created as we speak. You have to realize that our workforce is being retooled to support the technologies of tomorrow. We just have to learn to start thinking in a fresh new way.

There are new opportunities out there that have never been offered before. Regarding the American dream, it is actually much easier today to start your own business than it ever has been.

One of the easiest businesses to get started in is a network marketing business. It costs very little to set up and you have the potential to leverage the actions of literally thousands of people who are not your employees, but your partners. It only requires hard work and persistence.

Most people join network marketing ventures for very specific reasons. The main one, of course, is the allure of making great money. But what exactly does that mean? The answer is that making money means something different to each of us. For instance, I may want money because I want nice things like cars and beach houses. On the other hand, you might want money to gain freedom from the company that you work for. Someone else may want to earn lots of money because to them it may mean having more friends and enhancing their social lives. There is no doubt that all of these things are probably something that each of us may want, BUT one of those things is what provided the “spark” that caused us to join.

This “spark” is something that you want to focus in on because that “spark” is going to be the fuel that gets you to your goals. Let’s face it, we human beings make many of our decisions based on emotions. And if we decide to quit pursuing our network marketing businesses, it will most likely be an emotional decision. If we get discouraged enough, our minds will start rationalizing reasons why we should quit. Because of these rationalizations, we think we have made a logical decision but in reality we have made an emotional one. The emotions took over when we became discouraged.

This is where the “spark” comes in. We have to first find out our true reason for joining, and then we have to keep reminding ourselves why we chose our particular MLM and we must keep feeling that feeling that we had when we initially decided to sign up.

The surprising thing is in the end you will most likely discover that money was not the real reason. The money you seek is a symptom of something else you are seeking. I urge you to figure out what that something is so that you can focus on that instead. This is where your true MLM success will lie.<–>

So you have been recruited into a great MLM opportunity and your sponsor is kicking butt. Yet you seem to try the very same methods and are falling flat on your face. Sound familiar? You are not alone. The fact is that network marketing is not strictly science. You can’t do what successful people have done and necessarily get the same results. Why? We are all different, that’s why!!

This is what you must realize about MLM. It is both an art and a science. And you need both to succeed. A successful sponsor can teach you the science. He or she can show you something that works for them. This is a fantastic starting point, BUT the most valuable thing about it is that it gives you a routine to follow. You will have to apply your own touch and put your special spin on this routine to bring out YOUR BEST.

To boil it down, the science or the part that your sponsor can teach you is the first solid principle to succeed in network marketing:

You must take massive, consistent, and persistent action

The second principle, or the art you must apply is stated in the second principle of MLM success:

You must learn to apply your own personal effectiveness with others on a daily basis

This is what you must realize when you execute your network marketing plan.<–>

It is amazing to think that in America, someone is starting a new network marketing business every 11 seconds. In addition, over 55% of Americans have purchased a network marketing product or service and more than 13 million people in at least one of these transactions.

There are very good reasons why network marketing has been called the people’s franchise as these MLMs allow virtually anyone to get started in a business for very low risk capital investment.

• Let us look at some of the major benefits of a network marketing business compared to a traditional franchise investment:

• Low startup costs typically of a few hundred dollars compared to franchise fees ranging from $50,000 to $1 million or more

• No employees in contrast to the hassle of hiring, firing, and managing employees

• Flexible hours as opposed to a fixed set of hours designed to serve the public

• The ability to leverage your time and efforts by earning income from the efforts of many others

• Tremendous tax advantages allowing you to potentially write off your lifestyle

• Freedom of choice in determining with whom, where, and when you work

• Unlike traditional franchising, no need to pay royalties back to your parent company

• The potential for long term residual income, allowing you to profit from the efforts of those you introduce, even if you should eventually retire from actively building your business

Is it any wonder why we should all want a piece of this action? The benefits of running your own MLM business are plentiful compared to traditional businesses.
