MLM Success - A Simple 10-Step Plan

By Michael Dlouhy

Experience really IS the best teacher, especially if you’re looking for MLM success. The key to success & happiness in business and in life is to cut your bad experiences short and let your good experiences run. So how do you do that?

1. Remind yourself every day to put yourself in the best position to have good experience.

2. Do some MLM business-building activity that really excites you, not just what others say you are “supposed” to do. When you act with passion, your incredible energy makes you much more likely to have positive experience.

3. Be totally open with your mate (or potential mate) about your network marketing passion, and get your mate’s commitment & support.

4. Be curious about EVERYTHING, no matter how far it may seem to be from what you are doing. Great discoveries are often just an old idea in one field, moved to a new field.

5. Avoid negative people.

6. Go with your gut. Trust yourself and your instincts. A person who performs any task confidently will get results that others think are impossible.

7. Note your weaknesses. Work out a program to improve them.

8. To have more, you must BE more. Schedule time every day to work on improving your skills and your mindset.

9. Live by the 80/20 rule. 20% of the effort gets 80% of the results. Being a perfectionist is a total waste of your time.

10. Help yourself first. That way, you can become the person others go to when they need help. They know you will get the result they want.

You can jot down keywords from these simple ideas on a 3×5″ card and carry it with you. Look at it several times a day, as a reminder, to keep yourself on track for MLM success.

5 MLM Leadership Power Keys

By Michael Dlouhy

Focus on these 5 strategies to guide your MLM team to success, and you’ll be recognized as a network marketing leader.

1. Focus on the opportunity in every problem. Take the complex and make it simple. Then explore, discover and plan the best course of action to turn every problem into an opportunity.

You need to systematically investigate, evaluate, map, organize & communicate solutions.

2. Be bold.
Picture in full detail the outcome you want. Then engage & inspire your group. Show them your compelling vision. Excite their hearts, minds, souls & spirits.

Learn to focus, create, shape, sharpen and publicize your vision as you encourage your team to embrace it and its inevitable outcomes.

3. Help your MLM team prioritize. Keep the agenda REALLY simple. Concentrate on training your people to:

a. Find prospects.

b. Follow up with prospects.

c. Build long-term value-based relationships.

d. Continue following up on a regular basis (at least monthly) by email & phone, building the relationship, until that person opts out or joins them.

4. Develop a strong plan and stick to it.

Strategic planning is critical. A good working strategy encourages your team to trust you and to follow through on the details of your plan. Be sure to design a system that lets you monitor their activities in some way, so you can know whether they are actually following through correctly.

5. Be trustworthy. Be fair, honest, and consistent when dealing with your MLM team. Your behavior reflects your character.

Focus on these 5 leadership power keys, and you will be successful.

Keep Your MLM Focus

By Michael Dlouhy

Does your mind wander when you start to call your MLM prospects? Do you get up from the computer to do something and then … 20 feet away … whatever it was you needed to do has disappeared from your mind? Does this loss of focus sound familiar? You’re not alone. A lot of people admit to forgetting what they’re doing right in the middle of the chore.

What’s the solution? It could be as simple as a conscious effort to be mentally alert. How do you do that? Here are some suggestions to help your MLM focus:

1. Exercise. You hear about this most often. If your workday and home life have become just one long routine, why not go jogging or lift some weights? Exercise helps release certain chemicals into your brain which make you more alert … not just during the exercise but for the rest of your day. People who begin their morning with exercise often talk about how it sets the pace for the whole rest of their day.

2. Make it a point to learn something new every day. Choose a skill you’d like to have, maybe one that will help you build your network marketing business, and devote 30 minutes every day to getting good at that skill. The effort to learn will not only make you more alert, but you’ll also make yourself more valuable to your MLM group. Go on field trips, too. If you’re learning new people skills, for instance, go to the mall and try out your skills as you learn them.

3. A good night’s sleep is crucial. Five hours a night is not enough. Sleep is the natural way to perk up your mind. Too little sleep makes it tough to bounce back from a tough day. If you get up early, then go to bed a little earlier. If you get frazzled due to lack of time in the day, then make the time each evening to plan your day for tomorrow, so you get the important stuff done … giving you time for that extra hour of sleep.

These 3 actions can improve your MLM focus. Start with a few minutes a day for each one. You are applying the “slight edge” to your life, and you will begin to see gratifying changes. You’ll stop losing things, you won’t forget important dates and when you get up to go someplace, you will get there!
