GIVE PEOPLE!!!
MDA needs us and this link points to my mentors giving channel.
I make nothing and gain no love or points. But the people who win are those who are supported by the
Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Give people. Love them. And Ray Higdon has excellent perks starting at $50.00. And if you message me ill show you where he has an even better deal!
However its not just personal gain or karma. Its a call to lead. A call to be who we are meant to be. Join me folks. I gave and I respect you all enough to ask that you do the same.

ZEEK REWARDS SHUT DOWN!!!
(a quick lesson)
So Zeek Rewards and their mlm model and bid site and sale site are shut down.
A Ponzi scheme the Attorney General said. Interesting. Now there are many people signing petitions to get back in. A fellow network marketer I know had about eight grand in Zeek and was doing a couple hundred a day in income. He even made twelve hundred dollars in one day! However he never took his profits out. He let it “keep bubbling” as he put it. Now he will get his money back most likely and no profits.
Now I’m not here to malign the company or my friend. Or even prey on those Zeek people who still need a good opportunity.
I just want to discuss a few parameters and educate my readers.
So let’s let this ramble and you guys guide me with your replies.
-Lost credibility.
The guy who brings you into this venture, if it was zeek or any other may have lost credibility now. And this will largely depend on how he got you to join and how he mentored you. If he did the quick sale and sold you pipe dreams you probably resent him now. In all fairness people you are to blame. First his sales pitch, speech, spiel etc is wrong. He should have been teaching and guiding you into a point of being a pro at the venture and any others you go to. That’s a leader. That’s the guy you join. He is a mentor. Second if you fell for a quick, no need to recruit business you got had- by your greed. Zeek had a three tier sponsorship/buy-in. So how did u make $$$$ without getting in the ppl at the top? Yup, I looked at zeek. And put no money in. It didn’t look kosher. I won’t plug my venture here. Its not the time. But I will say that when you do network marketing- and you DON’T NETWORK- you will LOSE. Sorry. Its true. Get on the phone. Meet and greet. Make the commitment and you won’t have to worry about their credibility or yours.
-Never promise the sky.
I don’t care if you work for the FAA- never promise more than you can deliver. I had a teacher say always promise less and deliver more. The reason being that if you do less they expected that. If you do more they are pleased. Once you promise the best output you have to deliver. Now I say aim for that. That’s smart. Its feasible. However you need to set achievable goals. And make only promises YOU can keep.
-Who did they want to recruit?
Zeek sounded awesome. Money with no effort or just a few messages and emails and even more money. Now if Zeek recruited anyone who bought the dream they were going to lose anyway. You don’t recruit the last place guy to play in the USA team in the Olympics right?
-Who do u recruit?
*Listeners. The people who don’t ‘know it all.” The people who will listen and ask questions. They grow. They yield results.
*Those willing to fail. Sorry but failure is part of growth. Every toddler falls while learning how to walk. Every runner loses a race. The hungry get up and learn to cook. They catch a meal and cook it. Same in business. The ones who want it will get it. I’ve only grown out of hunger. And failure. Failure has made me a better man than I could explain in 5 blogs.
*Those willing to put the work in.
You don’t get rich doing nothing. You get rich working. You get a house by building it. And the same in a business. Put in the sweat equity. Put in the hours blogging. Let yourself be a slave to your tasks. The guy who practices makes his shots. The guy who gets six rings is Jordan. He trained HARD. Tiger Woods: TRAINS SUPER HARD. You make 0% of the shots you don’t take. So practice taking those shots. 3000 practice shots gets you key tournament shots. Go for the gold. In network marketing- speak to every stranger you SEE!! And remember:
Everyone wants to play, no one wants to lose.

ADAPT.
We are going to keep it short and simple with a one word theme so I get it done and you get a great read.
In business, as in life change is inevitable. The only question is how will you combat this to effect a success and growth rate that will not only be rewarding but sets a precedent for those who come behind you.
Below I will outline 5 simple steps to get you there.
Adjust
Do more
Articulate
Pursue
Teach
-Adjust.
You won’t get what you want all of the time, fact.
And you won’t close everyone you talk to, also a fact. However when you know that you simply have to adjust and move on the rest is easy. How? Simple. Look at your stats.
If you search out the same people as clients or partners and your results are dismal, move on. Your model of an ideal partner is off.
If you use the same basic spiel every time you pursue a new client and you only close one in ten, you have to adjust your methods.
If you have always used only one sales funnel set up and scheme, and people aren’t converting- time to adjust.
When you look at the numbers you will find your strengths and weaknesses.
When you focus on adjusting your methods and motivations you Will find the team of your dreams. You will close eighty percent of the time. Adjusting isn’t a coping mechanism- it is THE mechanism.
Remember if you are stiff, and you can’t move your rudder then you are on a collision course with failure. Adjust your sales pitch, adjust your plans, adjust your methods; just keep your passion.
-Do more.
Trying to succeed? Hoping you make the team? Need core conversions and thousands more blog hits?
DO MORE. Simple, concise, and easy.
Do more. Increase your efforts. Apply more
hours. What your doing is working, and under that assumption you need only do more. Put in the man hours the sweat. If you blog, blog more. Do a blogging bonanza where you double or triple your educative output for x amount of days. Do you mentor? Then offer the double the time for the same price for the first five followers to sign up. And then repeat this process on twitter, tumblr, facebook, pinterest- it matters only that you do more. If you were a photographer you would do the same. If you played in the NBA and you were missing your shots from the free throw line- you would take more shots. You would do this my putting in more hours at practice. If you did and hour on the courts- now you do three.
-Articulate.
Say what you want say what is needed. When you want to close people word count. Your voice is required. People will opt in but if you want them to duplicate and grow and earn a healthy income- call them. Daily. Speak with them, know them, let them know they aren’t a number. Leaders articulate well. OBAMA makes speech after speech and regardless of the numbers people listen. His choice of words rallies people to him and his causes repeatedly. A great coach does this as well. He gets people excited, passionate, he created a controlled frenzy that motivates and creates momentum. This momentum in-turn facilitates action which begets victory. See the picture?
-Pursue.
So they came to your webinar. They emailed you after saying it was pretty sweet- but they want more info. PURSUE. This isn’t a moment for discouragement. Its a moment to show that you are a person as well and that you are there, 24/7 at their disposal. Call them the next day. Discuss life and times first. Email them motivational quotes so their mind sees success while it ponders joining you in pursuit of the American Dream. Call again. It takes five to seven interactions statistically to close most people. And that means you PURSUE. Victory is elusive at times but when you chase it you will make it.
-Teach.
Great you signed’em up. You got three people a day for three days straight. Now you can relax right? WRONG.
Time to TEACH. Everything you know, you help them to master. You teach your team everything about the business. And everything that can help them in all of lifes pursuits. Knowledge pooled in to a collective and shared through proper discourse will lead to greater success for you and every member of your team. And even when the numbers are running lower than expected, as log as the team is learning you are winning. A quick close or opt-in is always there in a pinch. But a team member who generates six figures and then duplicates that repeatedly- that is a find. And where do you find that guy or gal? They are already with you. Great leaders and closers are made not born. We are all called to greatness but some people do not heed the call. We are great from inception yet many people on your team will quit. Many won’t try too hard. Not a problem. You keep teaching. You grow, they grow.
And as they grow you refine as well. Whenever you give you get.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. – Napoleon Hill

Fear is useful.
(When you know what to fear.)
Remember the Boogeyman? And how he came every night whether you saw him or not? Or Freddy Kruger and Jason? These guys scared the bejesus out of me when I was real young, and many of you too I bet.
See fear is a natural occurrence. We need it. Some people say they are fearless I say that’s foolish. Fear can ruin your life or build your drive to succeed and its simply a matter of whether you master it or not.
-What is fear?
Fear is a response to external and or internal factors and actions. Most of us are afraid of pain. And pain is simply your body warning you to certain permutations and facts. As a recipient of a few broken bones and surgeries I know first hand that at times fear can paralyze you. However if you seek the calm point in you it is an ally. Fear is basically your response to things. Nothing else. However fear can cripple and incapacitate or build and renew.
-Know what to fear.
So we touched on fear being useful. Fear is useful, it is the beginning of wisdom says the Bible in the book of Proverbs and there is truth to that. Being afraid to die can give you a certain center that will enable you to not make ignorant choices. However you have to know what to fear. Fearing red ants is pointless. Fearing success is as well but many people are too afraid to take the steps that lead to pure, unbridled success. If you are afraid of meeting new people, building connections, and or closing sales- don’t quit your day job. Being your own boss comes with a huge magnanimous serving of failure. However when you fear failure you don’t SUCCEED. The key here is to fear not reaching your potential.
You should fear not rising to your potential. You should fear not giving back because you didn’t meet your level. We all have the ability to rise. And while we won’t all be olympic medals we are all entitled to and I dare say required to be our best.
What do you fear?
Why do you fear it?
Conquer your basic fears and move forward.
Can you imagine still being afraid of the dark? You’d get nowhere.
Afraid of the dentist?- I bet you go though because the potential downside is horrendous. And if you avoid the dentist now he will see you more later- CONQUER!
-Harness the power of fear.
In life I’ve been scared of roller coasters, heights, girls, and success. And I had to harness that fear to beat these things that scared me. For rollercoasters I simply let my brother in law shame me until we got on every ride in the park! And after I yelled like a little girl I learned that I actually liked rollercoasters. For heights I beat that by accident. I had to climb a rope ladder repaeatedly when a wild animal almost attacked. While I dislike heights now I won’t lose due to fear. As for girls when we were younger one of my closest friends and I made a deal that we would take turns talking to every pretty girl we saw on our troop home. And it worked! We not only beat the fear but conquered it and realized how easy it was. And for the younger fans and readers- the girls are just as nervous.
When it comes to success I simply force myself to do it. I won’t be in a j-o-b forever. And I make a point to tell people my goals. Not to brag but to hold myself accountable. That way if I say two days it has to be less- otherwise I hear the junk and look inefficient. And I refuse to be less than I am. Do you feel the same?
Conquer People!
