Network Marketing is one of the only industries that actually gives a person the chance to take back the American dream.
It allows someone like myself who barely made it out of high school, who went to college and dropped out to go to work - to build a credible career that pays as much or more than a lot of people who have college degrees earn and pays you even when you're not able to work!
Where else can someone earn an income even if they cannot work with the exception of government assistance?
In network marketing though it’s earned and not because someone is giving a handout. Instead of giving people an apple to feed them for one day teach people to plant an apple orchard and feed them for life.
The industry gives someone like myself with no experience, no income, no credibility, no contacts, no confidence, no corporate background or degrees, incredible leadership growth and experience which is priceless! So even if it was all lost today it could be done all over again because of the self-development and experience gained from being a part of this industry.
How can something be wrong about that?
There's absolutely everything right about Network Marketing for the people who see it for what it really is and start treating it like the real business it really is meant to be.
So many people get into Network Marketing with the ole ‘I'll give it a try’ attitude. They never set their enterprise up like a real business entity right from the start so it's never treated like a real business.
Network Marketing is really treated more like a hobby by many people who for the most part it doesn't have much significance or priority for them. Others outside our industry pick up on that attitude and do not take these people serious and then they wonder why people poke fun and complain about what's wrong with network marketing?
People get started and you hear them saying you mean there's an investment in this and in myself? What happens is they never really get started right in the first place and end up quitting because they simply cannot handle delayed gratification.
Entrepreneurs invest in themselves and work for no pay for many years. They understand and can handle delayed gratification because they realize that the eventual pay off can be huge. Sometimes they have losses and they overcome those too and do it all over again. They have a business minded attitude, they act and present themselves as professionals. People and business are attracted to them.
It's up to the leaders in this industry to show professionalism to our teams and to the entire industry at all times. That also means to not bash another person's company or product or try and talk them into or convince them to join yours when they are not interested.
When people decide not to build their belief in themselves and the industry they simply will not build a profitable business and then turn around and say something must be wrong with the entire industry.
It's not the industry that has the flaw, it's some of the people who tout it as easy and get rich quick to people who are cash addicted and have no priority for running a business in the first place because they never treat it like one right from the start.
My husband went to school for years, got his degree and studied for his professional license for many years and ended up with professional land surveyor licenses in five states. I remember all those grueling hours of study he had to do to accomplish this.
If he was to start a survey business it would cost us in the 100's of thousands of dollars just for all the equipment needed, office space, employees, benefits to them, etc. It would take years to see a profit and if the economy is slow there's no work and people start to be laid off!
When we brought our son James to Austin to play tennis almost a year ago he was a very weak player, a pudgy 14 year old who was 30 pounds heavier, who they had to take and mold like a piece of clay. He has had to work very hard to compete here with these kids who have been playing tennis at the academy, many of them since they were six or eight years old. Most of them are way ahead of him. He has made it this far because he has a sincere desire to become one of the top players and obtain a college scholarship. His coach said he has to do even more and it has to do mostly with his attitude to win!
For many months we thought that we had made a mistake and were wasting all this money because we just were not seeing him winning the matches and moving up in levels. It has been grueling to watch him lose match after match. Not really realizing that he's right on target with his training!
At the end of the year party we were shocked to hear that our son was giving the end of the year speech! If you all knew James you'd know he's extremely quite and shy. He barely speaks in school. He took the challenge the coach gave him and we had tears of joy when he gave his speech loud and clear in front of over 50 people including his peers! That took a tremendous amount of courage and it gave us hope and reassurance that we've done the right thing by bringing him to Austin to play tennis!
There are people who drop out of the academy because they don't see the progress quick enough. The coaches told us that by what our son is doing now we'll see the results in four more months. What he did four months ago we're seeing right now!
It's amazing to see the leader he's becoming and it's taken a huge amount of sacrifice and investment for our family to give him this opportunity! In fact, if it were not for network marketing he would not have this opportunity in the first place.
It's the same with our network marketing business. When we do all the right things now we will see the positive results come back to us in the near future. Three to four years and even five years is not much time really to invest in the freedom that network marketing provides and that my friends is what is so RIGHT about network marketing!
I'm proud of our son, love being a Network Marketer and so proud to be an American and appreciate all that network marketing has given and also excited about what we can all give back to the greatest industry in the world because they are all watching us guys and gals!
Remember this saying by Ralph Waldo Emerson? "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."
Where you are now is because of decisions you made five years ago. Where you'll be in the next five years will be because of decisions you make TODAY!

The 2 Percent Plan Funded Business System
Hello Fellow Networkers!
Some of you have been waiting for the launch of Rod Nichols 2PercentPlan Funded Business System.
Well here it is!
This just in from one of my long time mentors and industry trainers, Rod Nichols, author of 'The Twelve Power Secrets For Network Marketing Success', 'Network Marketing For The 21st Century', 'How Would You Like to Dig In My Goldmine?' and several other industry books.
As a fellow network marketer, you probably recognize that there are several inherent problems in network marketing:
Takes too long for the average person to make money.
New associates quickly run out of warm market prospects.
New associates are afraid to approach people.
Most people don’t know how to build on the internet.
Many people never receive effective training.
Due primarily to these factors only about 2% of those involved in network marketing make a legitimate full-time income.
My question to you is: What would happen to your business and the businesses of those in your downline, if we could eliminate these five factors? The correct answer is that your business would explode and your income would skyrocket, as would that of many of those in your network.
I know that this sounds good, but you’re probably wondering, “Rod, how are we going to eliminate the five factors?” That’s an excellent question and in the balance of this e-mail, I’m going to show you exactly how.
The Five Failure Factors
1. Takes too long to make money – although there are a few that pay daily, most network marketing companies pay residuals either monthly or weekly. The average new network marketer takes sixty days or longer to sponsor their first person. During that sixty days, they have paid the costs to join, bought products or activated a service, purchased marketing materials, and possibly paid to be part of an advertising co-operative or purchased leads. They have also made their list of 100 or 200 warm market prospects and are tentatively blundering through those, experiencing a great deal of rejection. All this and they made a penny in the business. NOTE: Please don’t e-mail me about your program and how it pays quicker. I know there are programs that do and that’s fine. However, I’ve been in this industry for 29 years and have watched tens of thousands of people quit because they didn’t make money quick enough.
2. Run out of warm market prospects – Social scientists say that we know 2,000 people and all we have to do is remember them and we’ve got a great base of prospects for our business. The problem with this is that there are very few of those people who are actually open to your business. Yes, they could all benefit from your product or service and from the financial and time freedom that can result from network marketing, but they still won’t join your company or mine or anyone else’s. So, that new associate is going to join your company and begin working through his/her warm market, getting “NO” after “NO” until they begin to doubt that it’s going to work for them. At that point, they are encouraged to purchase leads, which they have to call using a phone script. Most people would rather jump out of an airplane without out a chute than make cold calls to people they don’t know, so this typically doesn’t work and within 60 days or so, they quit returning your calls and e-mails and disappear into the network marketing twilight zone.
3. Afraid to approach people – Network marketing is an entrepreneurial type business that attracts primarily people who are not entrepreneurs. The problem with this is that most of the people who join your business or any other network marketing business are going to be afraid to approach people. They don’t know what to say, are afraid that someone will ask a question they can’t answer, are concerned about what other people are going to think (particularly friends and family), and are afraid someone is going to get upset with them. Fear probably destroys more dreams than anything else in life and it is very active in network marketing. Fear can very quickly drive your very excited new associate out of the business in just a matter of days or weeks.
4. Don’t know how to build on the internet – As you have probably recognized, internet marketing is the wave of the future. Everyone is talking about “social networking”, “You Tube presentations”, and funded business proposals. There are so many great opportunities for marketing on the internet and lot’s of training programs that will “teach you how to make millions on the internet.” The problem is that most of the people who join your business will not have a clue about how to build on the internet. So, the key is to find a simple, easy to understand program for marketing on the internet, that won’t distract them from their network marketing business.
5. Aren’t trained properly – Some network marketing companies and upline teams do a great job of training, however this is more of a rarity than the norm. Unfortunately, most people who join network marketing companies are never trained properly and so they fail. It’s not their fault. The key to training is to have someone who has been there, done that, and made a lot of money do the training. However, usually that type of person in your upline is either too busy with his/her own huge downline or they are off enjoying the free time that results from a big residual income. Either way, people aren’t being trained. So, what is needed is a system, developed by a successful network marketer that will help you train your downline and give them something that will enable them to train their downline.
Okay, so we know the inherent problems, what are we going to do about them? This is the question I’ve been asking myself for over a decade. Back in 1995 I uncovered some of the answers, implemented them in my network marketing business and built a large and very lucrative network in a short period of time. However, there were still some elements missing and people in my network still failed.
In the early 2000’s I discovered more elements and then in 2007 the final piece of the puzzle appeared. Since early 2007 I’ve been working all these puzzle pieces into a program that would eliminate all 5 of the inherent problems in network marketing.
INTRODUCING
THE 2 PERCENT PLAN!
Here’s how it works:
Make Money Quickly!
We know that one of the inherent problems is that people don’t make money quick enough in network marketing. Part of the reason for this is that there is a commitment involved – financially, emotionally, or both. Most people don’t want to make that kind of commitment, so they will avoid. Well, The 2 Percent Plan eliminates this problem by offering an amazing e-book I’ve written (The 2 Percent Plan) that you and your downline can sell online and make $20 per sale.
This dynamic, but easy to read e-book is packed with the closely guarded secrets of the top income earners! These are the actual methods that we are using to build massive networks, resulting in total time and financial freedom! Now, your new associates can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars each month doing some simple marketing on the internet (and we teach them how). Now money is coming in so they can afford to stay with your network marketing company long enough to become successful. So, The 2 Percent Plan has effectively eliminated the money problem.
Generate Quality Leads of Your Own
Next, while they are struggling through their warm market list of 100 or 200, they can be generating great leads on the internet. These aren’t lookie loos, they are people who are genuinely interested in network marketing. You and your downline no longer have to sell network marketing, because these people are already sold. They just need to understand why they should join your company. So, The 2 Percent Plan has eliminated the lack of leads issue.
Work Only with People who Are Interested
Let’s look at how The 2 Percent Plan eliminates the fear factor and the issue of not knowing how to build on the internet. We have developed a turn-key internet marketing system that includes a capture page (to capture the prospect’s name, phone, and e-mail), excellent sales letter for the e-book and system, pre-loaded autoresponder messages that follow-up with those who don’t purchase a book, and an outstanding back office tracking and training system. To develop a system like The 2 Percent Plan would cost you $10,000 or more and we’re giving it to everyone who purchase the e-book for FREE! The fear factor is eliminated because they are working with qualified prospects who are requesting information and anyone can operate the internet marketing system, because we give them a step-by-step approach that includes sample e-mails, banners, and suggestions on where and how to advertise. Anyone can do it and make money.
Receive Training from Top Income Earners
Finally, let’s look at the training issue. First off, the e-book itself is packed with time-proven methods for building a massive network marketing business. These are the actual methods used by the top income earners. If a person just read and used what they learn in the e-book, they could easily earn a full-time income in network marketing and join the 2% group. Above and beyond the e-book, is the back office training and it is extensive. There is a simple step-by-step getting started training that will be enough for most people. However, we’ve also included advanced training which includes how to use FaceBook, MySpace, You Tube, Craig’s List, Squidoo, forums, e-zines, blogging, Google Adwords, banners, e-mail, and more! Plus, we will continue to stay abreast with internet marketing, so that we can offer the most up-to-date training available on the internet. Problem #5 ELIMINATED!
Use the System . . . Get Paid to Prospect!!!
This is an amazing system that will rock your network marketing world. All you have to do is use our proven marketing methods to attract people to your 2 Percent Plan capture page. The system will do the rest. When a prospect fills in the form on your capture page, that information is immediately e-mailed to you for follow-up. You an call or e-mail to find out if they are looking for a network marketing company, already with a company but not happy, or happy with their current company. Obviously, the first two are excellent prospects for your network marketing business. If the prospect proceeds through the sales letter and purchases the e-book, you earn $20! You’re getting paid to prospect for your network marketing business!
You can use the system to generate funds and leads for yourself, plus have everyone in your downline and all new associates purchase the e-book and participate in the system as part of their initial investment and training program. Each person who purchases the book is worth $20 to you, plus they can now start making money and generating great leads. It’s a fantastic and very duplicable system!!!
No Risk . . . Money Back Guarantee
But, don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself. Go to OurPlanBSystem.com to
see the capture page. Enter your information to receive the 7 Hidden Secrets e-mails and proceed to the sales letter. Purchase the e-book and the check out the back office system. Check it out for 30 days and if you aren’t completely convinced that it’s worth every penny you paid, we’ll give you your money back, no questions asked!
You have absolutely nothing to lose and both money and leads to gain. This is your chance to go from the 98% who fail to the 2% who make BIG money.
Be One of the First!!!
Don’t hesitate, click here OurPlanBSystem.com and become one of the first in the entire world to have this e-book and lead generating system. Then spread the word to your downline and others involved in network marketing and start earning another stream of income.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reply.
Have an awesome day and a prosperous year using The 2 Percent Plan!

What Is Network Marketing & What To Look For When Choosing A Network Marketing Company –
First of all if you're still not quite sure what Network Marketing is there are a couple of books I highly recommend to gain knowledge about our industry and business first from a very successful entrepreneur who teaches about becoming successful in business - Robert Kiyosaki
Even if you are already familiar with network marketing these books are highly recommended for further education and to recommend to others who are still seeking this knowledge.
The Business School For Helping People, The Eight Hidden Values Of Owning A Network Marketing Business, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Why We Want You To Be Rich and his CD The Perfect Business (15 min). There's another CD that explains our industry called Business Is Booming. All of these can be found at http://www.networkingtimes.com
Our industry is not only being recognized by business leaders such as Kiyosaki, the industry is also being recognized and recommended by other business leaders such as Donald Trump. Billionaires like Warren Buffet are investing in Direct Selling Companies such as Pampered Chef. Business Start-Ups Magazine (a division of Entrepreneur Magazine), rated Network Marketing as one of its 100 Best Businesses to start. The network marketing industry does about a $100 billion in retail sales annually. So this is big business as Robert Kiyosaki mentions in his training.
A long time colleague (mentor) and I, (Rod Nichols author of The Twelve Power Secrets For Network Marketing Success, will also be launching a new Funded Business System eBook that explains and trains on this information. This will also help you in understanding more about network marketing and how to become more effective in developing yourself and your business.
This system will be launched after April 15th. Email for more information
sueseward@gmail.com with 'Request FBS' in the subject line.
In his books, Kiyosaki teachs us about the 'E' (employee) - S' (self-employed) & the B' (big business) - I' (investor) quadrants. He recommends network marketing as a 'B' business. Read his books to find out why he recommends network marketing as the perfect 'B' business. Knowledge is powerful and this is the first step in becoming a successful entrepreneur in any business.
Even if you are in the 'S' (self-employed) quadrant we recommend you start a 'B' network marketing business as well because this is where you'll earn passive residual income for leverage. In your 'S' business if you take off does your income still flow in without you? Do you have employees to manage? If they are sick who does the work? Who does most of the work anyway? Do YOU or your employees?
Do they really care about your business like you do? What would happen if you got sick or incapacitated in some way and could not work? Would your income still flow in?
Because after you build a 'B' network marketing business the income would still flow in. Income from this kind of business is passive residual just like any big business that Kiyosaki talks about. After you develop your passive residual income then it's important to start learning the 'I' side of the quadrant and start to develop assets through investments.
Kiyosaki will teach you this knowledge in his books and CD's. It will be ultimately up to YOU to apply that knowledge by taking action to develop your 'B' network marketing business and gain the knowledge to invest your income!
There have been many books written with this information. People are free to give opinions based on facts that they collect and what it all really boils down to is the person writing the book recommends their company in the end or in some subtle way by recommending a list of companies and theirs is at the top of the list. After all it's their choice and it's usually because they've been in the industry for quite some time and have the experience to back up what they're recommending. That doesn't mean people are going to listen or choose that particular company or what we recommend will be the right company for everyone.
What we recommend are guidelines. This is why we call ourselves messengers!
The main thing is to start a 'B' business NOW. If you don't believe me watch the DVD What's Your Plan 'B' and listen to Robert Kiyosaki's The Perfect Business CD above. (15 min)
If this does not open your mind to what's happening in our economy then I'm not sure what will. If you are perfectly content with how things are going and you have all the money and time you want to spend with your family and loved ones, then this information just may not be appropriate for you.
First of all one of the most important things I look for in a company is - who's running the company? After all if I'm going to align my reputation with a company I'm looking for a management team of high integrity. I've worked hard to develop credibility and since I'm a person who values my own integrity, this is one of the first things I look for. If management makes bad decisions it can affect the entire company and eventually could cause the company to be shut down and then everyone loses.
Secondly I expect the management team to have experience in the Network Marketing industry preferably as successful distributors themselves. This way I know they have been in the trenches just like us and know what we go through and the benefits we're looking for as distributors.
Thirdly I like to make sure they have not been in any serious trouble and you can usually find this out if you network properly and seek advice from other experienced mentors in the industry.
The second thing I look for of course is a highly consumable product that is used up every month and reordered on a monthly basis. I also like to see a product that has a profitable retail mark up so that people can go out and sell that product and make money day one to get them into cash flow very quickly. This means it has to be a product that is unique that does not have a lot of competition such as having similar products sold in retail outlets, online stores, etc.
I like to see a product that has an almost 100% mark up in retail profit. This way if people are not interested in sponsoring and building a team (which of course we highly recommend for leverage - more on that later) they are not forced to sponsor to make money.
Look for a product that people can sell in a variety of methods such as fundraisers, craft and flea markets, home parties, online, person to person, gifts, etc. Look for a product that most people love and already buy on a regular basis. Only this product must be of much higher quality than what they are already purchasing in stores and at the same time priced comparably.
Look for a pay plan that rewards the part-timer AND the full-time network marketer who is interested in earning a 5, 6 or even 7 figure income. Look for a compensation plan that does not require you to frontload or order extra products to qualify for your commission checks.
Next I look for systems already in place so that we do not have to take up time developing our own (this is called leveraging other people's time and money which gives you more leverage).
These would be high tech cutting edge systems that anyone can plug into right away from day one without any learning curve. This means having a replicated type website that has a landing page to receive a person's contact information, an autoresponder system that drips information to them while we are doing other things (such as spending time with our family) which also has some sort of personal approach to it such as a MY STORY page with bio and photo, etc.
This way when someone visits the website and actually request more information we call them to start the relationship process by asking questions and ask how we can assist them further.
I'm all for developing a presence online with a personal website. I became very successful doing that for years. The point is it's taken me YEARS to develop that presence online using a personal website. Those personal websites took me a lot of time to develop and I'm still constantly tweaking them.
What I have found is that people want SYSTEMS to plug into NOW that do not take them weeks and weeks to develop. Having a system that a new person can plug into right away from day one where they can start introducing people to their business immediately is crucial and it's what all the successful networkers are using! I cannot stress this enough.
The next thing that is important is finding a mentor and team that are experienced and have support systems in place. I do not ever recommend that someone go online to a replicated site that they found by googling and just sign up for something with someone they have no clue about or from a spam email their receive. This is sure fire failure in my opinion and I have seen it happen over and over again. What I mean is going to a plain replicated site with no mention of who this person is or what sort of experience they have.
This is why it's so important to began your networking business by actually networking and making connections with people you meet either offline or online. There are all sorts of online communities and social networks online now where you can plug in and start networking with people and when you are in the looking zone for a company and business there will be people you can consult with.
It's important to make connections and network even with people who are already with a company who may not be interested in switching companies. I never recommend trying to shove your company onto someone's plate. That's not only inconsiderate it's rude and people will become very upset if you do this.
The most effective way to network with other likeminded people is to develop a relationship. Then down the road when someone is actually in the looking zone who are they gonna call? The person that turned them off by pushing their deal onto them or YOU who is a great networking connection? They are most likely going to contact YOU if you've build a solid relationship with them.
Anytime you find a great book, CD, online community, let other networkers know about it. This will create trust and credibility. You'll start to develop into an expert and people will seek you out.
You can read about people and find out what their experience is in the industry and how successful they are from their profile in these online communities. See what they write about, how often do they post, are they positive about the industry in general and are they truly a networker or just shoving their company in other people's faces? You'll quickly notice if they are a leader or not and what their agenda is. These are the people you see constantly advertising their company in places where people are looking for educational content and input.
Email a leader to see how quickly they respond, if they respond and how they respond. Speak with them on the phone. See if you click with them. Find out how knowledgeable they really are about the industry and find out what sort of contacts they have. Who are they connected with? This is very important because who you decide to align yourself with can ultimately connect you with other networkers. Are they serious and committed to their business and company. How successful are they? Are they just giving advice, yet have not really built an organization or made any income in the industry?
Are they an island? Or are they a delegation type of leader who works with leaders and achievers to build depth in expanding their team? I do not mean entitlement mentality and giving away just for the sake of giving or because they feel sorry for a person.
What I mean by this is - are they a leader who is really into working with specific key leaders, delegating leads and qualified contacts to them because they are committed and loyal and have EARNED the right to be in the inner circle. The inner circle are people who have proven themselves by building their organization, bringing in new partners on a consistent basis and taking action everyday to build their business. This again creates more leverage.
One of the important things I've learned over the years is about ROI which means Return On Investment. That means that everything you do you think about - what will my return on investment be on this? This also includes people you are partnered with. Everything you do in business think about what the ROI will be when you choose to do something.
When it comes to people you are helping to develop into leaders, what will your ROI be with that particular person when you delegate a lead or qualified contact to them? When you have a health issue and decide not to take care of it because it's too expensive. What will your ROI be if you decide to spend the money on your health? How much more productive are you to develop your income when you're healthy vs sick?
Every time you decide to spend money on certain educational material for your business what will your ROI be on that investment? Every time you decide to go to a company event what will your ROI be on that investment? When you invest in tools, resources, marketing, advertising for your business what will your ROI be?

Even if you are already familiar with network marketing these books are highly recommended for further education and to recommend to others who are still seeking this knowledge.
The Business School For Helping People, The Eight Hidden Values Of Owning A Network Marketing Business, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Why We Want You To Be Rich and his CD The Perfect Business (15 min). There's another CD that explains our industry called Business Is Booming. All of these can be found at http://www.networkingtimes.com
Our industry is not only being recognized by business leaders such as Kiyosaki, the industry is also being recognized and recommended by other business leaders such as Donald Trump. Billionaires like Warren Buffet are investing in Direct Selling Companies such as Pampered Chef. Business Start-Ups Magazine (a division of Entrepreneur Magazine), rated Network Marketing as one of its 100 Best Businesses to start. The network marketing industry does about a $100 billion in retail sales annually. So this is big business as Robert Kiyosaki mentions in his training.
A long time colleague (mentor) and I, (Rod Nichols author of The Twelve Power Secrets For Network Marketing Success, will also be launching a new Funded Business System eBook that explains and trains on this information. This will also help you in understanding more about network marketing and how to become more effective in developing yourself and your business.
This system will be launched after April 15th. Email for more information
sueseward@gmail.com with 'Request FBS' in the subject line.
In his books, Kiyosaki teachs us about the 'E' (employee) - S' (self-employed) & the B' (big business) - I' (investor) quadrants. He recommends network marketing as a 'B' business. Read his books to find out why he recommends network marketing as the perfect 'B' business. Knowledge is powerful and this is the first step in becoming a successful entrepreneur in any business.
Even if you are in the 'S' (self-employed) quadrant we recommend you start a 'B' network marketing business as well because this is where you'll earn passive residual income for leverage. In your 'S' business if you take off does your income still flow in without you? Do you have employees to manage? If they are sick who does the work? Who does most of the work anyway? Do YOU or your employees?
Do they really care about your business like you do? What would happen if you got sick or incapacitated in some way and could not work? Would your income still flow in?
Because after you build a 'B' network marketing business the income would still flow in. Income from this kind of business is passive residual just like any big business that Kiyosaki talks about. After you develop your passive residual income then it's important to start learning the 'I' side of the quadrant and start to develop assets through investments.
Kiyosaki will teach you this knowledge in his books and CD's. It will be ultimately up to YOU to apply that knowledge by taking action to develop your 'B' network marketing business and gain the knowledge to invest your income!
There have been many books written with this information. People are free to give opinions based on facts that they collect and what it all really boils down to is the person writing the book recommends their company in the end or in some subtle way by recommending a list of companies and theirs is at the top of the list. After all it's their choice and it's usually because they've been in the industry for quite some time and have the experience to back up what they're recommending. That doesn't mean people are going to listen or choose that particular company or what we recommend will be the right company for everyone.
What we recommend are guidelines. This is why we call ourselves messengers!
The main thing is to start a 'B' business NOW. If you don't believe me watch the DVD What's Your Plan 'B' and listen to Robert Kiyosaki's The Perfect Business CD above. (15 min)

Freedom In MLM – What’s The Real Price?
Copyright © 2008 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved.
(Copy this article using the attached bio)
You may have heard of the CD with Robert Kiyosaki called ‘The Perfect Business’. My team and I have decided to use this when we are out and about networking in our local areas and in our networking online.
Here are some of my thoughts on this CD as I have also just listened to it again for about the 20th time. I had not listened to it in a while and just realized it’s only about 15 minutes and yet quite powerful and eye opening.
I truly believe that this 15 minute interview with Kiyosaki has the ability to open some possibilities for many people who are struggling with the idea of starting an MLM business but still have some negative ideas in the back of their mind, myths they’ve either heard or some well meaning friend or family member put in their mind that have stuck and kept them from moving forward.
Make sure you are passing this CD out! Listen to it yourself over and over again until it is ingrained in your mind to help you become more and more strong in your belief of this industry and what it can really do to give you freedom! The kind of freedom that so many are also looking for especially now with our economy in a downturn! This is OUR time! We have what people are looking for!
Kiyosaki has a lot of credibility and he makes perfect sense! I am attending a seminar with him and Jim Rohn in Dallas the end of this month. The brochure says -
‘It’s called the ‘Success Symposium. Big Achievers are meeting in Big D. Will You Be There?’
They are re-launching the all-new SUCCESS magazine
If anyone is interested in attending info is at
http://www.yoursuccessstore.com/symposium
And magazine subscription info is at http://www.SuccessMagazine.com
Here’s a message I sent to the owners of our particular company and to our leader’s council after one of our owners received a complaint from someone in the field about selling products, people who quit, and when changes are made that they are not happy with.
Here's my professional opinion after 18 years of growing in the industry.
Sometimes people are thinking too small and are not seeing the BIG picture of what MLM can really do to give them freedom of choice.
It appears they may not be building a residual income and if they keep thinking on a smaller scale they most likely never will build a long term walk away income to experience true freedom. People are always going to quit. That's just the nature of any business. Most people cannot handle delayed gratification.
They put their emphasis on selling a few products here and there and teaching others to do the same without really plugging them into the BIG picture of educating them on creating long term wealth.
What happens is they end up with a self-employed business. When they do not work their income stops. In other words if they do not sell products themselves their income stops.
That's not my idea of building long term financial freedom. Personally I do not do a lot of retailing but it’s been my choice. I do however have many in an organization of 4,000 who do because they have that choice and make that decision.
I love the fact that we have a RETAILABLE product. That's a real plus and not something I've really had in my 18 years in this industry. Most of the products have been very costly wholesale and there's not much room for profit markup so we have been forced to sponsor to earn income.
It's great for people to also be able to put cash in their pocket immediately while teaching them HOW to generate long term financial walk away income which is what takes a bit longer if someone does not already have large networks to tap into.
It's also very important to have a product that can be retailed because that's what makes it a legitimate Network Marketing business.
If there's no product and all you are doing is signing people into some sort of scheme it's not likely legal. I'm not an attorney though so make sure you check with someone who is before you sign up for something questionable.
My job is to teach people how to network effectively and finding people with large networks while they are developing their own networks!
Our MLM business is our retirement because we know that the government is NOT going to take care of us, our 401K is NOT going to take care of us and the ECONOMY is certainly NOT going to take care of us!
What I've put into my MLM business for the last eleven years however will take care of us for the rest of our lives and I plan to continue to build it to millionaire status and because of WHAT I have learned and because of the personal growth AND the networks I've built in the last eleven years online it has no doubt the ability to continue to do this for us.
I didn't do that with a $50 fast start bonus mentality or by selling a few products here and there. I do however have thousands of distributors selling lot’s of products because I brought in a few networkers who brought in others, who brought in others, and so on. And we are bringing in more networkers to continue this cycle.
Some have dropped out along the way and that's called attrition. It's a lot lower though than other companies that I've built in another industry! We just bring in more networkers.
Myself and my team are looking for professionals who see the BIG picture and we are willing to stay and work it as long as it takes to build our company very BIG. We'll be the ones to REAP the benefits not the losers who whine, complain and quit! Robert Kiyosaki calls them wimps.
Most people get into MLM and really don't even understand the concept of educating themselves, becoming stronger and learning the process of how to make money work for them! They do not have the long term gratification that it takes to stick it out and that's why they give up and quit and settle for letting someone else CONTROL their lives!
It's about learning and growing and getting stronger not weaker and allowing people to bully you. Becoming mentally tough by getting educated on what it takes to GROW a REAL business so that people do not push you around. The more security you need the less freedom you'll have.
I never wanted anyone telling me what to do and that's why I gravitated towards MLM in the first place 18 years ago. Robert Kiyosaki had the same why for being in business for himself.
The people who are complaining probably do not quite understand the part of becoming a stronger, better more FOCUSED business person...which takes the process of learning, growing, listening to CD's, reading books, going to events and building networks AND finding people who have LARGE networks!
The stronger leader you become the more people will follow you and your income and theirs will grow. That's really it in a nutshell.
Jim Rohn says, "Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person we become".
The rich build networks and the rest look for work. When you are ONLY selling products and not building a network at the same time you are doing all the work yourself and when you stop selling products your income stops. It's that simple.
It’s great to have the best of both worlds - short term immediate cash while building your network for long term residual freedom! I am living proof that it’s well worth the price!
Create Massive Success!

It's also very important to have a product that can be retailed because that's what makes it a legitimate Network Marketing business.
If there's no product and all you are doing is signing people into some sort of scheme it's not likely legal. I'm not an attorney though so make sure you check with someone who is before you sign up for something questionable.
My job is to teach people how to network effectively and finding people with large networks while they are developing their own networks!
Our MLM business is our retirement because we know that the government is NOT going to take care of us, our 401K is NOT going to take care of us and the ECONOMY is certainly NOT going to take care of us!
What I've put into my MLM business for the last eleven years however will take care of us for the rest of our lives and I plan to continue to build it to millionaire status and because of WHAT I have learned and because of the personal growth AND the networks I've built in the last eleven years online it has no doubt the ability to continue to do this for us.
I didn't do that with a $50 fast start bonus mentality or by selling a few products here and there. I do however have thousands of distributors selling lot’s of products because I brought in a few networkers who brought in others, who brought in others, and so on. And we are bringing in more networkers to continue this cycle.
Some have dropped out along the way and that's called attrition. It's a lot lower though than other companies that I've built in another industry! We just bring in more networkers.
Myself and my team are looking for professionals who see the BIG picture and we are willing to stay and work it as long as it takes to build our company very BIG. We'll be the ones to REAP the benefits not the losers who whine, complain and quit! Robert Kiyosaki calls them wimps.
Most people get into MLM and really don't even understand the concept of educating themselves, becoming stronger and learning the process of how to make money work for them! They do not have the long term gratification that it takes to stick it out and that's why they give up and quit and settle for letting someone else CONTROL their lives!
It's about learning and growing and getting stronger not weaker and allowing people to bully you. Becoming mentally tough by getting educated on what it takes to GROW a REAL business so that people do not push you around. The more security you need the less freedom you'll have.
I never wanted anyone telling me what to do and that's why I gravitated towards MLM in the first place 18 years ago. Robert Kiyosaki had the same why for being in business for himself.
The people who are complaining probably do not quite understand the part of becoming a stronger, better more FOCUSED business person...which takes the process of learning, growing, listening to CD's, reading books, going to events and building networks AND finding people who have LARGE networks!
The stronger leader you become the more people will follow you and your income and theirs will grow. That's really it in a nutshell.
Jim Rohn says, "Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person we become".
The rich build networks and the rest look for work. When you are ONLY selling products and not building a network at the same time you are doing all the work yourself and when you stop selling products your income stops. It's that simple.
It’s great to have the best of both worlds - short term immediate cash while building your network for long term residual freedom! I am living proof that it’s well worth the price!
Create Massive Success!

Success Tips For Working At Home With The MLM Business Model
Copyright © 2007 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved.
(***You may copy this article using the attached bio below)
Notice the word ‘work’ in this article's title. That’s right any business takes hard work to develop over time and a home based MLM business is no different.
Just think of yourself as the CEO of a major corporation. Because that’s what you really are with your MLM home business which has the potential to actually pay you like a CEO of any corporation and sometimes even more!
Treating an MLM home business like a REAL business will ultimately create wealth like a REAL business. This is where most people fall through the cracks so to speak because they just do not understand business and what it takes to succeed in one.
Many start an MLM home business with a ‘‘I’ll give it a try’’ attitude and it ends up being a hobby which ultimately pays like a hobby and all that really means is no profits like a business can generate.
Thinking like a CEO of a major corporation will help you to position yourself and condition your mindset to realizing that you are your own boss instead of having an employee ball and chain mindset. You are the one making the decisions for your future and the decisions you make will either give you long term financial freedom in MLM or long term slavery. Which one do you choose?
It’s important for any MLM business person to set up a business plan for their future. Our team uses a written business plan that is sent out to each new partner because this shows that we are in business to make a profit vs having a hobby.
Think about where you’d like to be five years from now. The decisions you make now will affect that outcome. Set your 5 year, one year and one month goals. Write them down. Do not be afraid to dream BIG! Remember a goal is a dream with a deadline! Once you obtain one goal set a new and bigger one.
Make sure you set realistic daily goals you can achieve every single day that will lead up to your longer term goals and do not be afraid to change your goals and stretch to reach bigger ones.
Prioritize your to do list and do the most important things first that are ultimately going to help you reach your long term goals. This usually means prospecting. Anything that has to do with you speaking with people about your MLM home business and products are going to be productive and help you to reach your long term goals.
The most important thing is to avoid procrastination to get where you want to be in five years.
Devote a certain number of hours a week to your MLM home business. This will depend on your lifestyle and other activities that are important such as a full time job, taking care of your family, church activities, sports activities and other important priorities in your life.
Putting a timer on your desk to help stay on track and to finish an important task without being sidetracked could help. The Internet is a great way to get sidetracked!
Places like yahoo groups, online communities, instant messenger are all ways to meet and communicate with people online but they can also be very distracting if a person gets caught up for hours in these areas. Make sure to use them wisely and productively and always keep a business mindset because ultimately the long term goal is to build a business using these resources.
Develop a productive routine that helps you to obtain your short term goals that will lead up to your long term goals. Stay organized and focused with that long term big dream in mind at all times. This is why it’s important to write goals down or put photos up to always keep your mind refreshed on WHY you started an MLM home business in the first place.
Surround yourself with positive likeminded people who have similar goals and constantly be on the lookout for business minded people. Take on a professional attitude and look professional when you go out and are approaching people about your business.
If you are building an online presence make sure you have a personal photo on your website. Having a professional one taken is even better. This is the first thing people see when they visit your MLM website. They are looking for leadership and professionalism and someone who is serious about their business.
Always put a personal photo on your profile in the online communities. This is crucial to your success as a business person! Never use abstract pictures. This will not present you in a professional business manner and people simply will not take you seriously or look to you for business advice.
Make sure that you are saving all of your receipts for tax purposes and find an accountant that understands MLM and home business. There are many excellent tax deduction advantages available to you as a home based business owner and you may be missing out on them because you are not seeking proper tax advice.
This is why it’s so important to have a business plan in place to show you have a serious intent to make a profit. It’s also a great way to stay focused on goals.
Speak with everyone you know and meet about your business and hand out business cards. If you opened a book store or a boutique you would tell everyone you know about it right? Then why not tell people you know about your Network Marketing business?
It just does not make sense not to does it? After all when you are a serious business owner you are constantly thinking of how to move your business forward into a profit. You would be advertising, you would have expenses to run your store, you would be hiring employees and managing them and you would be keeping records for tax purposes.
MLM is really no different than having any other business and there are some significant advantages.
There are no overhead expenses or employees to manage while offering the same tax advantages available to all small business owners today. Just make sure the MLM company you choose does not have inventory requirements or heavy group volume requirements to earn commissions.
If a company requires you to buy a large amount of product up front to start it’s called ‘frontloading’ and this is usually not a positive thing. People many times get caught up with products they are not able to retail so they tend to sit in their garage or cupboards. This is where the term ‘garage qualified’ comes from. It’s why the media often pokes fun at the MLM industry.
Most companies require you to first purchase some type of ‘starter or distributor kit’. This is a one time cost and is usually under a $100.
You will also have monthly expenses for office supplies, postage, advertising and depending on how you market you could have expenses for some type of online marketing system to run your prospects through. Remember to get with your accountant to find out about your tax deductable business expenses.
You should not be required to pay more than $39 to $100 to start an MLM home business with the actual company. This also does not mean that you take your business LESS seriously!
On the contrary, a home business has the same amount of potential or sometimes even more than any other business. It depends on the person starting the business to take it seriously enough for it to create the kind of wealth potential it really has.
When you become a distributor for an MLM, Network Marketing, or Direct Selling company (these are all one in the same) this gives you the right to sell that companies products and services to others. When you are selling products you are in business. When you are sharing you have a hobby so think about that concept.
Again if you owned a store front you would not be sharing products would you?
How long do you think your home business would stay open if all you did was ‘share’ your products with people who came into your store?
Business owners sell products. People who have a hobby share products. It’s that simple.
You will however share the home business concept. This is when selling and convincing is not necessary. When it comes to sharing your business concept all you do is give a person one of the resources recommended below so that they can make the decision for themselves. You are just educating them on your business concept.
If you are still not sold on the validity of starting an MLM business and it’s potential simply go out and pick up a few of Robert Kiyosaki’s books and/or cds.
In fact, he just wrote a new one with Donald Trump called ‘We Want You To Be Rich’ where in chapter 27 they are extremely positive about recommending the MLM business model. Get some of Kiyosaki’s CD’s ‘The Perfect Business’ to hand out to people to educate them on the MLM home business model. Let these expert professional business owners do the explaining for you.
When someone ask you how you’re doing tell them you are right on track to achieve your goals!
Most traditional businesses do not make a profit for years and in fact, many go out of business within the first two years. So why on earth should you be ashamed when you start your home business and in a few months when you are not stinkin filthy rich, one of your friends ask you if you’re making any money and you become embarrassed to tell them about it.
Just tell the truth. You’re in a real business and any business takes money, time and work! This is not the lottery! It’s a business! Most business minded people you speak with will understand this concept so do not worry if your friends and family do not. Your job is to be the messenger. If they have been misinformed, burned in the past or do not understand the MLM business model, lead them to the resources and then move on. They have to decide if they are interested in becoming a business owner or not. It’s not your job to convince them.
This is another reason to find the right company with a product that has real RETAIL value built in so that you are able to start profiting by putting cash in your pocket immediately as soon as you receive your products!
If you have a product that is not retailable it’s going to be really tough to put immediate cash in your pocket. You’ll be forced to do more sponsoring to find more wholesale buyers to purchase and consume your products and this can take a lot longer for you to start making a profit right away in your business.
Start believing, thinking and acting like a business person. Be professional, put your plan in place, take action everyday to achieve your goals, never give up and you will eventually become successful in your home business. How successful? That really depends on you! Start right now! Your future is waiting!

Holiday Planting Season Brings A New Year Harvest!
Holiday Planting Season Brings A New Year Harvest!
Just because people are very busy during the holiday season with shopping, family gatherings, traveling, cooking, baking, cleaning and putting up decorations does not mean they may not have business on their mind.
They are just a bit distracted.
Try not to make the mistake of thinking that this would be a good time for you to shut down your prospecting efforts especially those who are brand new or just starting a business.
Do the opposite of most people and perk up your holiday planting efforts during this season!
Make sure you're still planting lot’s of seeds! Even though it seems like no one is listening or ready to get started with you in your business.
Get the emails out, let those autoresponders do their job and make sure to send out personal emails, Christmas greetings and letters (with your website link and email of course), flyers and business cards.
Because when January rolls around there will be people interested in earning extra income. They may also be looking for a home business so they can benefit from the great tax deductions.
My upline came on board my current company on Christmas Eve and she’s a 6 figure income like myself. So networkers and professionals like us are in the looking zone even during the holidays!
_____________________
YOU can be there to HELP them!
_____________________
So make sure you always keep YOUR name in front of lot’s of people every day so that they remember WHO to call when they are in the looking zone!
Trust me! I remember back in 1996 when I started with a company that I was with for many years. I signed up in November during the holidays!
I remember back then though that it seemed like NO one was listening, or reading the emails or interested in anything I was doing and it was getting to be quite frustrating to say the least so I know what it’s like because I’ve been in your shoes!
Everyone was SO busy, preoccupied with the holiday season. I'd hear "get back to me after the holidays!" "Call me after the first of the year." This can be quite frustrating to a new person just starting out.
I can't tell you HOW many times I heard those two statements! In fact, I still do even after all these years!
THEN to top it all off, in 1996 when I started online, I got really sick in December right before Christmas with a double ear infection and was the sickest I've ever been for three weeks.
I just kept emailing and getting in touch with people online as much as possible about my business anyway because I was so determined to get the new business off the ground!
I had to drag myself out of bed to go downstairs to my office and send emails every single day because I was so determined to get my business off the ground!
I had to drag myself out of bed to go downstairs to my office and send my emails every single day because I was so determined to get my business off the ground!
I knew after the holidays would be to late because all those OTHER guys would get the prospects if I didn't keep my name in front of them during this time.
_________________
Those people that do not stop sowing their seeds during the holidays will reap the benefits in the upcoming months AND even YEARS!
__________________
It paid off because in January I signed up my FIRST distributor with that company back in 1997, in February my second and that started it all because THAT March I started getting regular weekly checks.
Now I have a solid and profitable career that pays me even when I’m down and not feeling well or I’m off having fun on a business trip or we are spending time at our lake house on Lake Travis in Austin.
It’s taken a lot of seed planting and all that seed planting has brought in a great harvest year after year!
The excellent thing about Network Marketing is the eventual long term leverage that develops.
All those seeds planted many years ago are STILL bringing in a bountiful harvest today and will continue to for years from now!
Others that slow down during the holidays will just have to catch up with those who keep on planting!
January, February, March have always been very active recruiting and selling seasons in Network Marketing and NOW is the time to take ACTION by continuing to fill your funnel during the holiday season so you can experience a New Years harvest year after year after year!
Have an unstoppable holiday planting season!

Everyone was SO busy, preoccupied with the holiday season. I'd hear "get back to me after the holidays!" "Call me after the first of the year." This can be quite frustrating to a new person just starting out.
I can't tell you HOW many times I heard those two statements! In fact, I still do even after all these years!
THEN to top it all off, in 1996 when I started online, I got really sick in December right before Christmas with a double ear infection and was the sickest I've ever been for three weeks.
I just kept emailing and getting in touch with people online as much as possible about my business anyway because I was so determined to get the new business off the ground!
I had to drag myself out of bed to go downstairs to my office and send emails every single day because I was so determined to get my business off the ground!

I knew after the holidays would be to late because all those OTHER guys would get the prospects if I didn't keep my name in front of them during this time.

Those people that do not stop sowing their seeds during the holidays will reap the benefits in the upcoming months AND even YEARS!

It paid off because in January I signed up my FIRST distributor with that company back in 1997, in February my second and that started it all because THAT March I started getting regular weekly checks.
Now I have a solid and profitable career that pays me even when I’m down and not feeling well or I’m off having fun on a business trip or we are spending time at our lake house on Lake Travis in Austin.
It’s taken a lot of seed planting and all that seed planting has brought in a great harvest year after year!
The excellent thing about Network Marketing is the eventual long term leverage that develops.
All those seeds planted many years ago are STILL bringing in a bountiful harvest today and will continue to for years from now!
Others that slow down during the holidays will just have to catch up with those who keep on planting!
January, February, March have always been very active recruiting and selling seasons in Network Marketing and NOW is the time to take ACTION by continuing to fill your funnel during the holiday season so you can experience a New Years harvest year after year after year!
Have an unstoppable holiday planting season!
