MLM and Home Business }}{{ The Why, Oh, "U Factor"

Why, Oh, U... Why, Oh, U.... get it?  Y-O-U = the "U Factor"

There are so many parts to growing a successful home based business in Direct Sales and/or MLM, however none are more important than the "U Factor".

Many people look to external sources as a basis of their success.  They put all the weight on the company, the product and their sponsor.  While these are indeed important factors, as someone should choose a company they like, they should use the product, and should hopefully have a sponsor whom they enjoy working with.

But, if they do not experience the success they were hoping for, in their eyes, it's the fault of the company, the product and/or their sponsor.

Screeeeeeeech to a STOP right here.  Where is the U Factor?  What did the struggling person DO to work towards having a successful business?

What steps did they take to move forward? 

What was their part in the equation?

You really need to have your WHY - OH - U in place before moving forward into a successful Network Marketing career.  You need to know your WHY.  You need to understand that "Oh, this is not easy" and you need to put the U into the equation by taking the steps to get from where you are to where you want to be.

In this industry it IS all about you.  Your belief, your determination, your passion, your persistance...  Add all those up and you get your U Factor.  If feel you are 'failing' (which if you read my blogs I don't believe in 'failure'), if you feel like quitting, if you feel like your  business is sinking around you. 

Then you need to look at U.  Compare U to those around U who are having success.  What is different?  What are they DO-ing?  HOW are they doing it?  Once you realize you are on an equal playing field, once you realize the only difference between them and you is U, then it's time to start taking steps...

You CAN do it, yes you can, but you have to apply the WHY - OH - U Factor in order to succeed!

Will the Economy Ruin my chances at a Successful Home Business?

Want to hear the truth?

Here it is, are you ready?

Only if you ALLOW it to ruin your chances! Plain and simple, if you act a victim of the economy, then this will ooze out of your being and you will definitly have a difficult time building a successful home business.

When people step into a home business thinking thoughts like...

• People can't afford to buy...
• People can't afford to join...
• People in my area are poor...
• People in my city are suffering...
• People here are all losing their jobs...

Having a mindset like the above is instilling self-sabotage. How can you possibly be successful if you feel that everyone you encounter will have an excuse? In reality, you are making the excuses for them, not even having to leave your house or even pick up the phone to make your business un-successful. OUCH, huh?

Truth be told, most people QUIT a home business before they even start!

However, there is a secret weapon. Education. No degrees. No massive reading. Just plain and simple ABC 123.

Show your customer product value. How does the product help your customer? How does the product better their lives? How does the product save them money? In the instance of the product I offer, it lasts longer, is cleaner, is stronger and is of a higher quality than a product of a similar nature that can be found in department stores. When you do the math, the product I offer is LESS per unit price than the 'cheaper' ones found in stores since my lasts up to 4 times as long.

Show your prospect the dream. Especially, I reiterate ESPECIALLY during times of said 'financial strife' people are actually LOOKING for a way to earn extra money. If you could present to them your home business opportunity and an easy way to make $200 per month you could be changing their life for the better. What is more exciting is it actually has the potential to yield $2000 per month or even $20,000 per month. There is no ceiling, the limit is only your imagination...

My business is growing, fast, during this 'recession'. Yours can too, and I'd love to show you how!

Recession-proof!

I refuse to take part in the 'recession'...

So you want to be Successful?

Greetings!

Success :: The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work.

So how DOES one measure success? For me success is a series of steps, each step up the ladder being a new goal, each new goal being closer to the top. My first 'success' was quitting my job in 2002 so I could work at home. I wanted to be home with my daughter, I quit my job which equals success. I wanted to be home, I made it happen!

Success is NOT a GAMBLE...

Many people ONLY see success as cash in hand, however it is so much more. You can count your money while sittin' at the table but what does that do? It shows you how much money you have.

Success IS a way of THINKING...

"Think and Grow Rich".... "Believe and Achieve"... "Thoughts are things".... "You'll SEE it when you BELIEVE it..." All quotes from famous authors who all know the same thing, you have to 'feel' successful to make it happen. In your mind you have to 'be' successful to make it happen.

Succession :: The act of succeeding, or following after; a following of things in order of time or place, or a series of things so following

Ever notice how those two words are so similar? Success and Succession? They clearly show that success is a path of following the leader. Learn from those who have already done what you want to do. Why reinvent the wheel? Drive the road already paved to success, duplicate the steps and climb the ladder before you!


Are YOU ready for Success?

"The Secret" in a 1975 Children's Book...

Greetings!

The Green Seagull and the 'Secret'

As you may already know, I am a big fan of "The Secret" movie and book on the Law of Attraction. It seems reminders of this pop up often and in unexpected places when we need a little boost of getting thoughts going in the right direction.

Recently my daughter found a series of books I got during the 70's and early 80's by Serendipity Books. A series by Stephen Cosgrove and Robin James where whimsical characters go on adventures, each one teaching a thoughtful, moral story.

We've been reading these books together and last night one of the books she chose was "Jake O'Shawnasey". It's a book about a green seagull who cannot fly. Well, actually what happens is each time he takes flight, his doubt overcomes him and he falls. He does not 'believe' he can fly, and the moment he stops believeing, he falls.

So a wise owl in the book tell him that he needs to know the 'Secret' and to find out the 'Secret' he needs to get to the top of a very high cliff. Jake makes his way up the cliff determined to find the 'Secret" and when he gets to the top and on a boulder the following is inscribed:

"If you find you're not believeing

In everything you do...

Just remember lots of trying

Will bring confidence to you"

After reading the inscription Jake realized that if he has confidence in what he is doing, and if he believes in himself than he can learn to fly. He proclaims..

"I know I can do it! I know I can fly! I really and truly believe in myself!"

...and he takes flight....

'Secret' to 'The Secret' past to present...

I got tears in my eyes. I was in awe that I was taught 'The Secret' back when I was my daughter's age. It was even called the 'Secret' in the book. Capital 'S' and all!

It simply shows you that experience the teaching of the Law of Attraction our entire lives. In my case I did not learn how to harness this energy until I was in my 30's. But WOW, just WOW.... I mean down to the exact moment, you must believe in order to achieve. You must have full and complete confidence and 'know' while believing in yourself.

..."I can do it..."

My daughter asked why I was crying, as it was a happy book. I told her I was happy, happy that she is reading the same books with me that my Mom, her Nana, read with me when I was her age... I asked her what the book meant to her, she said 'if I believe I can do it, I can'.

My precious, on her way to making all her dreams come true....

Can YOU do it? Do you believe in YOU?

"The Secret" has changed my life. are you ready to walk through open doors and make a change in YOUR life?  Let's work together to make it happen!

Have an ENLIGHTENED Day!

Sincerely,

Alethea Anderson

Always smiling, believing and achieving!

Team Building 101

Greetings,

So you want to build a team...

Every time I welcome new team members to my team,  I get private emails from people on other teams asking...

• What methods do you use?
• What's in your business kit?
• What's your SECRET?

This is what I tell them...

"I use the company system! We have a fabulous training manual, training guides and so much more. Simply use the tools and your upline to help you reach your goals!"

It really is that easy!

The tools are right here, provided to everyone who joins the company. All it takes is a team leader to show you the way and time utilizing the tools to implement team growth - of course dedication and the desire to succeed have a strong impact on your success as well.

I provide these tools to my team members...so they don't have to ask!

When someone new joins my team, they are not 'left in the dark'. They receive the training in the areas where they want to grow. I show them where to find information, and I am available for one on one phone consultations as well, and always available via email to answer questions too. I remind my team members of upcoming training calls and I provide them links to recorded calls. I have a wealth of resources too! No one is left behind on my team!
