Don’t Fear Money
Posted by Jeff Boyle on May 28, 2010 in Blog, Featured Articles | 0 comments
If you are afraid to talk about money, you’ll probably always be broke. Becoming comfortable with money requires an understanding that money itself represents far more to each of us than just pieces of paper. Understanding your emotions as they relate to money is vital to taking control of it instead of money controlling you. As an entrepreneur, if you...

In network marketing we build romantic stories about the successful leaders. We imagine that they hit home runs every at bat, throw 90 yard touch down passes and sink hook shots from 50 feet out on a consistent basis. It reminds of the Mel Gibson Classic Braveheart, where a young soldier doubted Wallace’s identity because he looked too ordinary: William...

Rule 1 – Expect high output. A network-marketing superstar does not need to have years of experience in sales or in network marketing. Age and background are irrelevant. Chet Holmes says, “Young or old, if you have the stuff, we’ll know.” My circle of influence is much greater today, but when I started in network marketing I was 22. My...

Low expectations yield low results. Very few network marketers have the guts to challenge their people, consequently their groups remain small and underachieve. Instead of setting high expectations they keep their downline protected from responsibility and challenge in the hope that the people will stay in and not be overwhelmed. Our goal as marketers should be...

Superstardom knows no sex, age or color. Being a superstar in anything requires natural born talent or cultivation of talent over time. However, unless you were born with every skill needed to be a superstar at your chosen field, you are going to have to be like the rest of us and build your talents.

I am often asked, “What should I expect from my downline?” The answer to that is, “Depends.” Many successful leaders achieved their level from pure guts, some build leaders. The distributors that don’t build leaders are grinders, they would show a plan when ever and where ever. They don’t mentor possible leaders...

Do you know how easy it is to create a good product today? Easy, very easy. Because the cost of manufacturing is so cheap compared to what it used to be, it is almost impossible to create an iconic brand or movement based solely upon producing a great product or making it cheaper. Great products produced cheaply are everywhere but not all of them are selling....

To improve, we must recognize where we fall short. Some companies and distributors are willing to accept they can improve, others stick their heads in the sand. My last post I quoted Seth Godin when I wrote, “So, go tell a story. If it doesn’t resonate, tell a different one. If people are not asking for your product when you finish your presentation, it...

“Don’t just tell me the facts, tell me a story instead.” Seth Godin is right, facts are boring. Facts are hard to get excited about. I don’t buy a BMW because of the number of its horses. I buy a BMW because of how it makes me feel: alive, free, excited and athletic. Horsepower by itself is just a number, but combined with sporty...

Network Marketing is powerful, use it wisely. When you are busy telling stories to your prospects who want to hear them, you’ll be tempted to tell stories that just don’t hold up. Lies. Deceptions. In his book All Marketers are Liars, Seth Godin made the points above about marketers, but does the same hold true for network marketers? I would say...

The most common reasons people fail in network marketing have nothing to do with the product or compensation plan. According to F.F. Fournies, most people fail to succeed in any given opportunity because: They don’t know what to do. They don’t know how to do it. They don’t know why they should do it. They feel there are obstacles beyond their...

Network marketing as a concept is brilliant. People sharing something they believe in with friends and family. However, in practice it can often fall short.

I am happy, very happy. However, 2009 was a rough year and I was ready to give up on network marketing. The venture capital firm that funded our company decided to fire my brothers and me from the company we founded. They fired most of our employees and moved the company to another state. Many of us were left without a job or source of income because we...

Many people join network marketing to free themselves of a boss. The allure of owning your own business and being accountable only to yourself is very appealing. The problem is clear, however, that few people have the discipline to hold themselves accountable consistently and the dream of personal business ownership often begins to seem unrealistic. That...

You’re busy. Well, here’s a news flash, so is everybody else. Most top network marketers and company executives rarely work “on” their business, instead they are always working “in” their business. They are so busy putting out fires, that they can’t put up a firewall. The problem is that to truly keep growing, you must be able to be more...

Brand Management If your company went away, how much heartache would it really create? We all like to think that everyone would be devastated and that our product or service is irreplaceable.
