Over the years, I’ve observed a lot of people who have not achieved what they want in life. These people often have a lot in common. I thought it might benefit YOU to have a list of things NOT to do. So, following is what seems to be a mental “To Do” list for non-achievers:

1. Don’t listen to anyone who has had actual success.

2. Take advice from everybody you know who has never achieved a dream.

3. Plan, plan, plan, and plan some more. Get everything 100% right. Then check it a few more times before you actually DO something.

4. Blame others for your failure to achieve what you want.

5. Take time every day to remind yourself what a loser you are.

6. Repeat the same mistakes over and over.

7. Keep going in the same direction that has never gotten you where you want to go.

8. Don’t do anything to replace those limiting, negative thoughts you’ve always had.

9. Keep spending time around those people who assure you you’ll never be successful.

10. Insist that you are right, no matter what the outcome of any action, because being wrong is worse than failure.

Is there anything on this list that YOU ever do?

If so, how can you change it?

Your friends for life,

Success In 10 Steps

Business models drive the behavior in the field. You cannot change the model. You can only work with it.

Some companies have a business model of very high-priced products which could never be sold to the public on product merit alone. The only way they can be sold is as a money-making opportunity. THAT business model creates an atmosphere of “recruit, recruit, recruit.” And you’re setting yourself up for massive failure.

Think about this. Marketing Principle #1 anywhere in the world is that a business sells products or services for a profit. If your business can’t do that, and you only earn profits by recruiting people … who recruit people who recruit people who recruit people … THAT is not normal! THAT is absolutely not sound marketing. THAT will end up getting the attention of the feds.

Companies that only recruit instead of retailing products or services usually have a very good reason. Which is, their products or services are way over-priced, so no one could ever actually sell them. Don’t put yourself at that competitive disadvantage.

We Appreciate You

Network marketing companies are like a dairy farm. If you needed more milk, would you squeeze harder, or would you get more dairy cows?

Companies call it “raising the bar.” Suddenly, distributors have to buy MORE product to qualify for commissions. So the company forces the distributors to pay for the new $28 Million Home Office. Or the 100 new operators in the Call Center.

Companies that charge reps $19.95 or $29.95 or $39.95 a month for the website to look at their downline genaeology … THAT stuff should be free.

That $20 or $30 or $40 a month is virtually 100% profit to the network marketing company. They want to increase their bottom line. But instead of getting more cows, they squeeze harder.

More Squeezing

Companies that change compensation plans are squeezing harder. They know their reps have built to maximize rep income from the current comp plan. So a totally different comp plan will ALWAYS throw a monkey wrench into the rep’s design and increase the income to the company.

Companies that want more milk start changing comp plans, they charge for more Back Office doohickeys, they force you to order more product to qualify for commissions.

Or they do the RIGHT thing, and get more cows.

Which way does YOUR company play it?

In the real world, when you talk to 100 people, you will get 10 retail sales and 1 new distributor IF you have a value-priced product.

Think about this. You talk to 100 people. You get 10 customers, 1 distributor. If you’re in a business model that is all about getting distributors, because the payplan does not drive the behavior of getting retail customers …

You Are Losing BIG-TIME!

If your payplan is only about recruiting, and your products are over-priced compared to the same product at Wal-mart and your payplan does NOT pay you 30% or 40% on retail sales, then your chances of long-term success are very, very small.

THAT is the road of destruction.

So ask yourself 2 key questions:

1. Are my products priced competitively against the same thing (or similar) at Wal-mart?

2. Can I earn 30% or 40% commission by retailling product … or does all that money flow to the upline?

For long-term network marketing success, you need to be able to answer “Yes” to both questions.
