MLM - those who 'do' vs. those who 'won't'...

MLM - those who do vs. those who won't...

DO or DO NOT, there is no 'try'." Yoda, Wise Little Green Man

For a little green guy he's pretty wise isn't he? It is 100% factural and true... In MLM you either 'do it' or you 'don't'. There is no in between and there is no trying. Replace the word can't with the word won't. It is impossible to join an MLM and say "I just can't do it". It's not true, you can do anything you put your mind to. If you say you can't do it, you are really saying you won't do it. Seriously, what do you think you can't do?

• You can't come up with the money to join? NOPE You WON'T come up with the money to join.
• You can't talk to people you know? NOPE You WON'T talk to people you know...
• You can't talk in front of people at a party? NOPE You WON'T talk in front of people at a party...
• You can't talk to a stranger about the opportunity? NOPE You won't talk to a stranger about the opportunity.
• You can't build a website? NOPE You WON'T build a website.
• You can't learn how to be a leader? NOPE You WON'T learn to be a leader.

I think you get the jist of it now..."Do or do not, there is not try" In other words you will DO it or you WON'T do it...

Etc..etc...and so on!
Does this sound like tough love? Well it IS! I have seen so many people with a flaming passion to make it happen to only quit, run with their tail between their legs and say 'I can't do it'... By doing this they are basically throwing financial freedom, time with family and so much more right out the door. Because they WON'T do it. That's the difference...

When someone says "I want to be like so and so, I just can't do what she does..." NOPE That person is saying they won't do what she does. The ONLY difference is that the SHE had the DO in her. The driving force to make it happen. Not accepting failure as an option. The passion to keep moving forward.

Do you have what it takes?

• Do you have a WILL DO attitude?
• Do you have a passion to make it happen?
• Are you going to let obstacles block your path or will you climb those walls to get to the dream of success?
• How high will you jump?
• How far will you run?
• When you feel you physically can't go a step further, will you take another step?

I wan't dreamers. I want visionaries. I guess I want Jedis to join my team to help me build an Empire! If you have what it takes, contact me...

Home Business : Which company do I choose?

Home Business : Which company do I choose?

Once you've done your research and have found your passion, the next step is to find a company. There are many to choose from; some have been around 1 year and some have been around over 30 years. How do you know which one is for you?

Contrast and Compare

Myself being in the industry since 2004, I often 'shop' other companies in the direct sales/home party/mlm industries. I want to be on the up and up when someone approaches me with a question about the competition.

These are the questions I ask...

Joining Questions

• How much is it to join?
• Is there a monthly minimum purchase requirement?
• What is the distributor discount when purchasing product?
• Do I get this discount up front, or is it paid later as a commission?

Website Questions

• Does the company provide a distributor website?
• Is there a cost for this website?
• Does the website have a web store?
• If yes: How much commission will I earn from the web store?
• Will purchases from the web store count towards my monthly purchase requirement?

Materials

• What are the cost of materials such as catalogs, fundraiser forms, etc?
• How frequently are these forms updated?

Company Training

• What kind of training is provided by the company? (reading materials, calls, etc...)

Team Building

• How much do I earn for building a team?
• What percentage do I earn from my downline?
• Am I paid on the full retail or a commissionable volume?
• How many levels deep can I be paid?
• As my team grows, does my monthly personal volume requirement increase?
• Can I ever 'lose' my team?
• Can I ever slip back to a lower level or lose my position if my team size or volume decreases?

General

• Say I work this business for 10 years and want to stop working it, will I still receive a residual income check from the team I've built?
• Can I bequeath my distributorship (residual income) to a family member? (meaning can you transfer to a family member if you pass away and can they continue to get the income from the business you worked so hard to build)

How to earn

• How many ways can I earn money with the company?
• Am I required to utilize all these ways?

Marketing

• How are we allowed to market the company and opportunity?
• Are there any ad restrictions? (i.e. web marketing rules, print ad rules, etc...)

A general rule of thumb...
Take your notes, apply the facts and do the math! Today I spoke with yet another company and asked all the questions above, did the math and found I am making far more money with my current company than if I were with the other.

Choosing a Sponsor
Be sure to choose a sponsor aka team leader who will be there for you, more on this tomorrow!

Are you ready to make a change in 2008?

Have you been thinking of joining the company, but you are just 'not sure'? I understand, it can be quite a decision. I tried many other opportunities before finding this company!

You Choose HOW to Run YOUR Business

As a distributor, you have the flexibility to run your business as you wish. You decide how many (or few) hours per week you'd like to devote, you decide what aspect of the business you'd like to work on...

Fundraising
Retailing
Team Building

The icing on the cake...

With this company you are not required to do fundraisers or you are not required to build a team. There is a small monthly commitment, but wouldn't you expect that since you want to run a business?


My Promise

I, Alethea Anderson, am here for my team members. I love my home business and time is devoted to my team. I understand the concept of 'paying it forward' and I take Zig Ziglar's words to heart

It's all about the TEAM where Together Everyone Achieves More. When you need help I am reachable via email, text and telephone. You are not left alone. You are not going to be sitting clueless in the dark. I commit to help you when you ask me for help!

Why THIS Company?

Here are some facts...

• The company itself has been around over 20 years.
• The company is all about the distributors and is one of the ONLY companies that gives such a huge percentage of the income BACK to the distributors.

Finding Your Niche in Network Marketing

Greetings,

What Works for Someone Else, may not work for you...

Well, in the past I tried plastic ware, party wares, skin care, pantry fare, cleaning products and vitamins. Each company I thought...

• 'wow, how easy people LOVE plastic storage!'
• 'wow, how easy everyone has birthday parties!'
• 'wow, how easy people want to look younger!'
• 'wow, how easy everyone wants food!'
• 'wow, how easy everyone wants natural cleaning products!'
• 'wow, how easy everyone wants to be healthy!

Finding Your Niche

The key to this industry is finding YOUR niche. Though plastic ware did not work for me I know people at the top of the company. Though skin care was not for me I know people driving white Mercedes. Those companies were their niches, my niche is something totally different!

Your Niche is your PASSION
To pin point your niche, you have to find your passion. You need to find a product that...

• ...you will use daily.
• ...you love and stand behind.
• ...you can easily talk to others about.

You see once you find your passion the rest is as easy as 123. Not 'easy' in the sense of not putting in effort. But easy in the sense of it coming naturally to you.

Let's see if our passions connect!

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?

24 Hours in a Day, Use' em right or LOSE 'em!

Greetings,

24 Hours in a Day, use 'em the RIGHT way!

24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86,400 seconds - do you utilize your time wisely? Each moment ticks past quickly, are you valuing each second of time? Sixty clicks, a minute, sixty minutes, an hour... What IS it you are doing with your time?

If you say you can't get it all done...

...you really are saying "Well I farted around so much today I did not get it all done!" If you set a schedule, have a list of chores, and set out to do them you can but...

...it's easy to get SIDETRACKED!

When building a home based business many people choose to build using the computer. This can indeed be a very valuable tool, IF, it is used properly... Many people tend to get sidetracked (aka find ways to procrastinate from what they really should be doing) on the www. They go on the web looking for one thing that is related to their home business, then they find something else on accident, which leads them to something else interesting, which leads them to a funny video, which they have to then email to a co-worker, and while in the email box they decide to check all the messages, where they get an email from an old friend, then they buzz that person on IM, then they get in a long winded chat about the weather, so on and so on...

...3 hours later...

...nothing is done! You've not showered, you have a load of laundry in the washer and an unfolded load in the dryer with 2 loads sitting in baskets. Dishes in the sink, fuzzballs on the carpet, the bed is not made and it's about time to go get the kiddo from the bus. You still have work to do and now dinner is looming in your mind. So much to do, so few hours left, why?

You pause briefly...

...to consider why nothing is done. You say to yourself "I've been busy all day, but I've gotten nothing done!"

DING DING DING

You WIN! Yes, you've been busy, that's the truth - just not focused on the desired result. You need to have some organization and some structure. Set realistic goals for yourself and you can complete everything on your to do list in record time and THEN have bonus minutes to fart around to your hearts desire.

If you find you are having many unproductive days, do this...

...write down everything you do and how long it takes! Starting with getting up and every single thing you do noting the times. Track when you first put that load of laundry in the washer, when it actually gets the dryer, and when it really gets out of the dryer (you know when it's been so long it's not even warm any more!) This will help you see how you are alloting your time each day. You can see when you are a bizzy bee flitting around to the many flowers in the field buzzing along humming 'la la la la'!

Reality Check!

Now, if you are ready to get organized and make some money let's chat! First fill out the short form in the side column and request info on this home based candle biz. Then visit my website to learn about me and my candle biz and you'll see how this biz can easily fit into any lifestyle. I look forward to chatting with you!

Buzzing away the day but it working the right way!
