Many of you know that I have been in network marketing for over 20 years!  I guess that gives away my age a bit, doesn’t it?  Oh well, it’s posted on Facebook anyway!

I absolutely love the industry and have watched it change lives!  It truly is the quickest and most realistic road to wealth for the average person.

It’s network marketing that helped me discover my passion to inspire, motivate and encourage others to realize their personal power and create the life of their dreams.  The more I learned, the greater the hunger to understand mindset, law of attraction and the role that beliefs play in the wealth building process.   I have often said that I can show people how to be successful in network marketing, but it’s your beliefs and feelings that will ultimately determine the level of success that you reach and maintain.  It is important to choose the right business, and have the right marketing structure in place, but even with those important pieces of the puzzle, you can sabotage your success and fail if you are focused on lack or why your business won’t work.

That is why I decided to write this blog.  I wanted to help folks deal with their beliefs first, and then mentor them in the practical action steps that are required to build a successful enterprise.  I have watched the industry change in many ways, and have discovered that some of the “tried and true” methods of the past simply aren’t as effective as they used to be.  Yet many sponsors continue to coach their new team members in the same methods and strategies that we used prior to these days of the internet and Web 2.0.  There are simply new, better and more effective ways.

I’m also thrilled to see a movement toward more conscious networking.  Honesty, integrity, listening and offering solutions is now replacing the idea of “doing the numbers”, false claims, and partial truths.  The idea that you need to sell and convince people to join your business or buy your products simply doesn’t work in building a strong team and creating a long term residual income.  People want to join people they can trust, and they want to buy, but don’t want to be sold or convinced. 

There are a few things that I believe are crucial if you truly want to create wealth in your networking business:

#1 Have a Mentor – Find out what the successful people are doing, and copy their success.  Your mentor may be your sponsor, but in my case often wasn’t.  I know that my mentor’s guidance was priceless, and made a huge difference in my enterprises.

#2 Positioning – You need to become a leader and position yourself as someone that YOU would want to have as a business partner.  If you are marketing online, then you need to have an online presence other than the “replicated web site” the company provides.  Make yourself stand out from the crowd and like minded people will be attracted to you.

#3 Analyze Your Strengths and Weaknesses – You will be the CEO of your enterprise.  The CEO doesn’t know everything and do everything well. But they do surround themselves with people who know what they don’t.  They also hire or outsource the work that is technical or not income producing.  You should definitely be moving in that direction.

#4 Marketing Plan – Your marketing plan should be  written, tailored to your budget, and should include low cost, no cost and paid methods of advertising and/or driving traffic.  There should be a detailed marketing plan regardless of your budget.

#5 A Lead Capture Method or System – You need a way to capture those who have responded and indicated interest.  Most people don’t buy until they have had 6-8 exposures to the offering.  In addition, you can market other products to the individuals that don’t join your business.  This can give you the necessary capital to get your business off the ground. This list is a goldmine, and will be valuable for years to come.

Prosperity consciousness along with the right action steps will lead you to the life of your dreams.  The only missing component is your ability to intend it, visualize it, and expect it.
