Recently someone asked this question: If Network Marketing is designed to be the great "out" from a 9-5 JOB, then why aren’t the ‘average’ people I talk to interested in Joining my business? If only I had the story below to tell at the time,  but I didn’t and what I did reply back with [...]

With "listening" being one of the most important skills we can learn in Network Marketing, I’m amazed to discover how little importance it measures on the Richter scale of skills in training our new business partners. Listening is one of the most neglected skills.  In school we learned to read, write, speak, but I can’t [...]

Maybe you’ve had someone who joined a Network Marketing business opportunity who quit their job after two months in the business.    What a great start, huh?  Walked away from the JOB so quickly… Wouldn’t you want that too?    There’s  a sad side to this story though.  The income earned in those two months came strictly [...]

Being a HUGE fan of Tom "Big Al" Schreiter, I came across an article he had written this last year and wanted to share it with you today. Our mind, and the programs we get from others, control us. The challenge in business is to overcome this and to begin to take back control of [...]

Is Network Marketing about selling?  I admit that when I started, I thought it was only about selling stuff and recruiting people. There was no way on earth I could be successful with that kind of thinking and my failure rate proved the point. SUCCESSFUL Network Marketing is NOT really about products / services, but [...]

I found this  at the beginning of November 2011 … somewhere …. and pasted it into notepad.  Today when I went searching for where I found it originally, I found 4 different sites, the oldest being in 2010… with no reference to the original author, but as though they had each coined the same exact [...]

My sister, who is NOT a Network Marketer, posted an interesting status message not too long ago that I wanted to share with you today. "If you’re not being treated with love and respect, check your "Price Tag." Perhaps you have marked yourself down. It’s " YOU" who tells people what you are worth by [...]

YIKES!   What happened to that slogan….. Become your own boss.  Make your own hours.  I didn’t ever hear anyone say such frightening words as- change, sacrifice, priorities!  Can’t I build a home based business without those words coming into play?

I heard an interesting story involving a study of behavior that I wanted to share. A group of researchers put 3 monkeys in a room.   The room had a high ceiling.  In the middle of the room, they placed a pole that almost reached the top.  At the top of the pole, they placed a [...]

Someone asked me recently what it takes to be a successful Entrepreneur and  build a business from home.   I thought ….. hmmmmmm ….. Interesting question.  Then I thought back to when I opened my traditional computer business back in 1989.   Did I even consider whether I had the right internal "Stuff"?   No, I don’t recall [...]
