All this training that is available, however, can be just as big of a curse as it is a gift. At any given moment you can do a search on the web for “Network Marking Training” and you will get dozens of pages of sites. How do you decipher through them all? Which are worth your time? Who are true gurus and who are the villains of the community? These are just some of the questions that may be swirling around in your head and they are all valid concerns.

I was once one of those people who was looking for help and throwing lots of money at every training program I could find. Well, I have to say, most of them were a waste. Give me a few minutes of your time and I will give you my suggestions, you can take it for what it is worth, but I just don’t want to see more people get discouraged and give up on what could be the best opportunity for them to change their lives and achieve the life that they dream of just because of lack of good information.

As I have said I have tried many different systems and nothing seemed to hit home until I heard of Attraction Marketing. This is really nothing new to the world of Sales or Entrepreneurship. I just never had anyone introduce it to me. After doing a lot of research on the subject I have come to learn that 2 of the most informed, and for lack of better terms, Gurus, on the subject are Ann Sieg and Mike Dillard. These to people and their systems have helped 1000’s of people achieve the lifestyles they only dreamed of before. Both teach on the premise of Attraction Marketing. Mike’s system, Magnetic Sponsoring and Ann’s system The Renegade System are two top notch self-funded marketing systems out there. They both have great products that will teach you everything from how to build your business on a tight budget all the way to how to write seriously compelling sales letters that can sale any product you want.

Now that I have told about the two best systems I believe are out there, let me tell you about the only drawback that I have found. These systems DO offer incredible information, however it can be very intimidating for the person you is really stepping out of their comfort zones. Without proper mentorship it can still be very daunting and somewhat confusing. Like it will teach you how to attract leads, but, then what do you do with those leads. How do you convert these leads into YOUR Team Members?

In come Renegade University and Renegade Professional! These two products have been brought to us by Mike Klingler in conjunction with both Ann and Mike, as well as many other professionals in the industry. Mike has taken these two systems and broke them down into laymen terms where even the most novice individual can understand. They are computer based classes with some very informative tele-seminars mixed in, to provide some of the most comprehensive training on how to run a successful Internet/Network Marketing business, using today’s most innovative techniques, such as using Social Media and Articles and video to promote your business that I have ever seen.

These are people who have been in this industry for years and paid more than their fair share of dues. In my opinion they are fine examples of what this business was meant for.

What I meant by that is no matter what venture you set out to accomplish, success is determined by you and your actions. Having the correct frame of mind and making the right decision about matters is very important, however your atmosphere that you choose to surround yourself in is just as important. In an earlier post we discussed the “Mindset”, so in this post I would like to discuss the “Atmosphere” side of this equation.

The people you surround yourself with have a direct affect on how you perceive things around you. If you surround yourself with people who are content with living paycheck to paycheck, you will find YOURSELF not striving for more. If you are around the types that are always blaming “others” or “events” for the despair in their lives, YOU will never take responsibility for your own actions and want more.

Success, no matter whether it’s in business or in your personal life, starts with YOU. If you want more from life, surround yourself with others who share the same interest and pursue the life you want. If something doesn’t work the way you expected, step back evaluate the problem and find a better way of doing it. Don’t blame other people for your failure. Don’t blame events in the world on your lack of success.

I use to be one of these people! I blamed an ex-wife or a girlfriend, I blamed corporations, I even the government. In all reality everything that has happened in my life, is a result of a decision that I chose. It wasn’t until I realized this and stopped all the “blaming” that I was able to be successful in my Home Business.

Now I am not saying, by any means, that you should abandon your existing friends because they don’t have the same values as you or they are content in their lives. What I am saying is that you should branch out of your comfort zone and put yourself in situations to meet other people that do have the same values and wants as you. As you become intertwined in this circle of people, your way of thinking will change and you will notice a change in your attitude about yourself, you will develop a “Can-Do” attitude instead of a defeated one. This change in attitude will be reflected in your demeanor and the way you carry yourself. It will also affect the decisions you make. These changes will be noticed by your old friends and they will see the success that has started to come into your life. They will start to follow your example. The bond with the true friends that have always been there will be that much stronger.

Successful people do not get defeated because something doesn’t work. They find a better way of doing it and making it work. Successful people surround themselves with success. Success is a matter of desire. If you don’t change, your outlook will always be the same.

Here is Seth’s post today from which I think every network marketer can benefit:
“It Doesn’t Hurt To Ask”

Actually, it does hurt. It does hurt to ask the wrong way, to ask without preparation, to ask without permission. It hurts because you never get another chance to ask right.
If you run into Elton John at the diner and say, “Hey Elton, will you sing at my daughter’s wedding?” it hurts any chance you have to get on Elton John’s radar. You’ve just trained him to say no, you’ve taught him you’re both selfish and unrealistic.
If a prospect walks into your dealership and you walk up and say, “Please pay me $200,000 right now for this Porsche,” you might close the sale. But I doubt it. More likely than not you’ve just pushed this prospect away, turned the sliver of permission you had into a wall of self-protection.
Every once in a while, of course, asking out of the blue pays off. So what? That is dwarfed by the extraordinary odds of failing. Instead, invest some time and earn the right to ask. Do your homework. Build connections. Make a reasonable request, something easy and mutually beneficial. Yes leads to yes, which just maybe leads to the engagement you were actually seeking.

I am sure you see the application to Network Marketing. Why do so many think that building a network marketing business means alienating your friends and family? Because too often we ask in the wrong ways at the wrong times. That’s true online or offline.

Here is an example of an email another friend of mine, Lou Abbott, passed on to me that someone sent him yesterday . . .

Just found out that George is moving to Fla. I need a partner who wants to work and wants to learn. With me I am a knowledge whore, but seem to be lacking implementation. Just wondering, would you be willing to go through a couple of programs with me for next 90 days? I have got to get some money in quick, and I need someone that wants to learn. Let me know what you think.

Now mind you, I don’t know who this person is. I don’t know who “George” is. I would never do “a couple of programs” in 90 days. (I’d prefer to build one for the rest of my life.) Yet, he is asking me to work with him so he can get some “money in quick.”

Do you think Lou was interested? Of course not.

Now Lou wouldn’t name who sent this to him, he didn’t want to embarrass him and, sad to say, We get emails and phone calls like this all the time.

Learn how to “earn the right to ask,” and your success will appear and so will the life of abundance. The Industry as a whole will be greatly improved if everyone learned this skillset.

Some advantages of starting a business from home are:
1. More time with the family!
2. You are the boss, no one can fire you!
3. You earn what you are WORTH!
4. No long commutes back and forth from the office!

These are just a few. There are so many more depending on the things you value from your life. I know that when I started working from home and I left the stress inducing life of the corporate world I was a much better person to be around. No office politics to worry about and no more worrying that a restructure was on the way. I didn’t have to try and schedule vacation time around others just to make sure work was covered, I could take it when I wanted to.

100′s and 1000′s of people in America are making the move and starting businesses from home. Whether it is full-time or just doing it part-time to earn extra cash, it is rapidly becoming the norm. You may be saying to yourself, I can’t afford to start-up a business or I don’t have time for that. Well that is where you are wrong. Home-Based businesses, especially a Network Marketing business, can be started for very little. There is no such thing as not enough time, you work the business when you want. It all depends on your goals and what you want out of the business. Another opposition the skeptics use is, “People don’t really make money in Network Marketing”. Well that couldn’t be farther from the truth. You can make as little or as much as you want, depending on the effort you put into it. People today are making in the ranges of $100 to $15,000 and month and sometimes more. Again, it’s all up to you.

A quote from a famous businessman and author, Robert Kiyosaki, from his book “The Business School for People Who Like Helping People”. He writes;

“A Network Marketing Business is a new and revolutionary way to achieve wealth”

In closing, I would like to say this. Network Marketing is not for everyone. If you have a burning desire to take control of your life and secure your own future, then this is for you. If you are self-motivated, determined and thrive for financial independence then this business is for you.
