At some point in time, we all have been guilty of procrastinating….

We put off things that are important to our success and can never get to doing them…like

• Eating healthier
• Exercising
• Spending Time with Family
• Doing your Website
• Marketing
• Decluttering
• Doing Videos
• Quiting that Corporate Job that is Making you SICK
• Starting A Business
• & Many More

What we have to understand is that procrastination is a symptom of a much bigger issue.  In and of itself, it is not the root cause of

why we fail to do what is good for us.  FEAR, often, is the main culprit camoflauging itself as procrastination.

FEAR of ….”if I fail, people will ridicule me?”

FEAR of ….”what will my parents think?”

FEAR of ….”maybe it won’t work, so why go for it”

FEAR of ….CHANGE

CHANGE….Small changes on a daily basis is a precursor for BIG changes.

Even when you are fearful….take the necessary action, ANYWAY.

In this video, I have listed 2 Quick Steps to Motivate Yourself in Taking ACTION.

With the national unemployment rate at 10.2%, the highest level since 1983, more and more individuals are filing for bankruptcy and consumers are forced to curtail their spending habits.  This surge in job lost has served as a catalyst for many people to seek alternate ways of generating income, with Network Marketing being one area where many are venturing into.

XanGo , Limited Liability Company (LLC), a reputable international multi level marketing firm has experienced an increase in its distributorship level as a direct result of what is happening in the economy. Although this company has great opportunities, there are many factors that must be considered when evaluating a Network Marketing Business.

Length of Time In Business

When exploring MLM opportunities, it is vital that one’s emphasis is not on the newest flavor of the month, nor on the latest ground floor opportunity.  These types of companies sometimes present a much higher risk factor than those that are well established.

This is not to say ground floor opportunities can’t be sustained, it simply means that each risk factor should be evaluated on a case by case basis. The opportunity to make money should be the same whether you get involved in the first 3 months of the company or the third year of the company.

Unlike other network marketing companies with an average life span of less than two years, XanGo, LLC has been around for quite a while.  The company was launched in 2002 in Lehi, Utah as a medium for people to change their lives – both from a health and financial perspective.

The Product

No Product = No Customers = No Business.

Those involved in the Network Marketing Industry, are not exempt from competition, so it is very critical that you choose a product that stands out from the rest. The brilliant founders of XanGo did just that!

XanGo Juice, a health supplement made from the mangosteen fruit, is the company’s flagship product.

When XanGo 1^st emerged into the marketplace, barely anyone had heard of this fruit. It wasn’t until XanGo introduced their proprietary juice made from the mangosteen fruit, nicknamed the “Queen of Fruits”, when more and more people began to realize its major health benefits.

This is one of the primary reasons why the company is so successful today. They manufactured a unique product to market that was not readily available. This move made a huge impact on why they were able to grow as fast as they did.

Marketing Plan

Like other network marketing companies, you make most of your money by recruiting a team of distributors to sell. Knowing how to effectively market the company’s products is a critical aspect when striving to build a successful business.

So, the true test of XanGo is whether or not a comprehensive system is available for you to utilize to recruit, train, and retain distributors.

The answer is NO! Their recruitment model is very similar to most Network Marketing Businesses – company replicated website and a list of your friends and families.

With this alone in the marketing arsenal, most representatives are at a disadvantaged and their businesses never leave ground zero.  Where do they turn to when they run out of their warm market of friends and family member?  What distinguishes Distributor A’s replicated website from Distributor B’s?

In order to maximize sales and distributorship, a comprehensive marketing system must be in place that teaches:

• How To Create Brand Awareness

• How to Utilize Various Marketing Tools and Techniques to Capture Your Target Audience

• How To Create Duplication In Your Downline

Overall, XanGo still maintains its status as a well known, successful network marketing business.  They continue to reel in a constant flow of distributors based on the product that it offers and its compensation plan.

Many people enter the Network Marketing business expecting overnight success, but soon face the grime reality that it doesn’t happen that way.  What they fail to realize is that success is not a singular activity, it is a PROCESS…one that takes time.

Here are three key tips on achieving Network Marketing Success.  The greater clarity you have in all of these areas, the better results you will achieve.

#1 – Clear Vision

There is an old adage that says, “Every Mission Needs a Vision,”  and this definitely applies to Network Marketing.  Without a clear vision, you can easily find yourself broke and out business.

Create a mission statement for your business.  Why are you in business?  What are  both your short and long term goals?

#2 – Daily Commitment

Many Marketers have no prior entrepreneurial experience and therefore lack the skills necessary to run a business. Oftentimes, the activities that fill their personal daily lives are detrimental to business success.  It is therefore pivotal that you establish a daily commitment in achieving your end results.

Establish office hours for your business and respect them the same way you would if you were at a 9-5 gig.

Create a daily plan of action for your business and adhere to it.  Remember, success is not about what you do, but what you do on a daily basis.

#3 – Define Marketing Plan

On of the key requirements for Network Marketing success is for you to add value to the market place.  You accomplish this by formulating a daily marketing plan to present value to the customer base.

The most optimal way of achieving this is by utilizing a marketing system.  You have to have a system.  Without a system to integrate the skills that you have learned, you are like an individual trying to assemble a puzzle without a picture to follow.

Remember, success does not happen overnight in Network Marketing, but by implementing these tips in your business, you will be one step closer.

The Rise of MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)

MLM’s started back in the 30′s and took the premise of Network Marketing to another level.  With MLM you purposefully and strategically use word of mouth advertising to make it beneficial to the company and sales of the product within it.  Genius!

Over 70 years later, MLM’s are still a prevalent way to start and grow a business venture.  Even though there are many failed start up companies that have come and gone, MLM’s are still at the top of the Network Marketing food chain.

The New Network Marketer

MLM representatives are often called Network Marketers.  Why?  Because that is who they are and that is what they do.  Any new MLM representative should understand this premise before getting started.  This is why, if you don’t use a product that you sell, then it his hard to sell it.  How do you get someone excited about a product that you have never used?  That is another article within itself.

Becoming an MLM Network Marketer

The statement above is something like saying: becoming an entrepreneur.  To be a good entrepreneur, you need to make connections with other people, who can connect you with other people, who can connect you with other people.  Traditionally, you must be a people person to handle this concept, but with the rise of Internet and Social Media, you can accomplish this without so much human interaction.

The New MLM Network Marketer

I twitter.  I facebook.  I youtube.  I am into social media.  You do have to have a personality, so to speak, to use social media to your advantage.  But with these social mediums, you have the time to get it right–before you post.  If you don’t know what that means for you, then you are not ready.  Let me say it again.

With these social mediums, you have the time to get it right–before you post.

Through social media, people learn to know and trust you.  Even though, they have never met you face to face, you are familiar to them.  I know this to be true, because I have my favorite people that I trusted through social media (ie. my upline in my mlm business opportunity).

Learning to Use the Power of Social Media

Social Media is simple yet there are strategic ways to use it for business purposes.  You will want to be trained on how to make social media work for you.  You will want to know how to put all the pieces together without making all the mistakes.  I know that I have made my share of the mistakes and I have learned my share from good training.   You can find great training for MLM and Network Marketing in the link below.

When many of us first got started in MLM, we were fed with the hype that attracting MLM leads was easy.  Thinking inside of our own “boxes,” we think: “I get it.  I know my family and friends will see the vision, too.”  Then we run to make our list of 100 friends, family, anyone else we contact, and proceed chase them down.  Then we wonder why even the mail man avoids us like the plague.

Above is I speak about the old methods of  attracting MLM leads.  The Internet has changed MLM lead capture from late night hotel meetings to success tele-calls and webinar conferences.  It has changed from the 3-foot-rule to social media.  It has gone from fliers on cars to links on Twitter.

The Old MLM Story

You’ve been in your MLM for a few years now and your life has seemed to go something like this:

• Late Night Hotel Meetings
• Morning Success Calls
• Midday Success Calls
• Evening Success Calls
• Inviting Family and Friends
• Chasing Family and Friends
• The MLM closes its doors or something really bad happens.
• You change companies.
• You start the whole process over.

This is just one of the many stories that I have heard MLM-ers tell.  It is a tragedy to say the least.  Now you’re thinking, “This is not as easy as it was made out to be.”  And most of us get jaded and just quit.  We are not seeing time with our families.  We are not seeing the income that we were “promised.”  It seems to be a bad thing all around.  We end up blaming the company for not attracting any MLM leads, when really we only have ourselves to blame.

Jim Rohn says, “Self-education is the key to becoming rich.”

The point of that lesson is that, you can’t depend on your MLM company to teach you how to attract MLM leads.  It is not their business to teach you to attract MLM leads to yourself.  It is their business to teach you to attract MLM leads to them.  They are branding themselves.  You should take a lesson from your company and brand yourself, too.

The New MLM Story

You’re finally seeing some success.  You’re paying a few bills and the months ahead are looking pretty promising.  No, you haven’t joined some new faith or found a new guru.  You have advanced with the times and learned how to attract MLM leads easily.

• You work from home or anywhere you want. (Beach, Starbucks, even vacation!)
• You have more time freedom.
• You get to spend time with your kids.
• You make money while you sleep.
• You live a dream lifestyle.
• You love what you do.
• You have choices!!!

How does this happen?  How do you get to the “New” MLM Story?  The answer is quite simple…

You must become a leader. You may not be ready to lead now, but with a few short steps, you can begin to brand yourself as a leader.  Here is how…

How to Attract MLM Leads

Domain: Getting a domain is very easy these days.  You can get your very own domain for as cheap as $2.  I recommend that you get a dot com.  (.com’s are more prevalent in google searches)

Website: You don’t want to have the same exact website as every other person in your MLM company.  To attract MLM leads, you must brand yourself.  People are attracted to you and not your MLM. Remember that when creating your leadership image.

Lead Capture: You need to have  a way to contact your leads again, once they leave your website.  Before your prospect can peek into your site, they land on a lead capture page designed to do one thing: capture their name, email and possibly telephone number.  Building a list has proved to be the most profitable way to create a substantial income in our industry.  It is a MUST to have lead capture pages on your sites.

Automated Response: Now, you have the unique domain, a website, and you have captured their email address.  Now what? You have to build a relationship with them.  It is not ideal to write personal letters to each person on your list.  It is not even ideal to write the same mass email letters everyday or even save them as drafts and send them daily.  It is better to write a letter once and let an automated system send it out for you.  This one step will create time freedom for you, like you have never imagined!

Multiple Streams of Income: When I began my MLM, I wasn’t thinking about creating more streams of income.  My job and what the MLM were my only streams of income.  Then I found out that leaders depend on multiple streams of income to keep them going, no matter the economic times or seasons of products.  These leaders always had a constant flow of money coming in.   With the promise of learning how to create multiple streams of income, this is can also attract MLM leads.

There are more tips that I will be giving in the future on how you can attract MLM leads easy.  So, be looking forward to most posts like this one in the near future.

I have been working on my MLM for some time now.  When I added an auto-lead-generating-system to my business, that any of my downline could easily use; I began to experience exponential growth.  You can use MLM Lead System Pro to do the same for your business, as well.

MLM Lead System Pro is an auto-lead-generating-system created by a group of Internet Marketers that knew there had to be a better way to  succeed in MLM.  It takes the archaic tradition out of MLM Network Marketing and creates a fresh workable system that brands YOU as a leader.

MLM Lead System Pro revealed this system over one year ago .  With it, you are working with a list of items every MLM Internet Marketing Leader needs:

Your own unique domain name.

You are branding yourself as your business and not your MLM.  These business start-ups fail everyday.  You don’t have to take your good business name through the mud with them.  By setting up your own domain, you don’t lose any traffic that has been attracted to it.  Simply take your business and domain to another company or start your own company.

Multiple streams of income.

It is ultra important in Internet Marketing to have more than one stream of income.  Your MLM is only one income stream.  It is your business to be sure that you have multiple ways of creating an income to create assurance for your family and loved ones.  MLM Lead System Pro has an automated system where you can automate about 20 different income streams for your business.

Your own unique qualified list.

It is very important as a leader to keep in constant contact with your leads and prospects.  When you build a qualified list through your MLM Lead System Pro system, you will need an autoresponder for your leads to sign up for this contact.  This list will prove to be your most profitable resource.

Easy auto-campaign builder set up.

With MLM Lead System Pro, you will be able to set up campaigns that will run automatically, even while you sleep.  That is an awesome thing.  No more making hundreds and hundreds of telephone calls.  No more meetings.  No more flyers.  Okay, that’s getting a little “salesy.”  The truth of the matter is auto-campaigns work.

Your own unique capture pages.

I don’t know about you, but after I go to 20 different sites with the same capture page: I don’t care who is selling it.  I’m not interested.  Now, if I see a uniquely branded page where some leader of interest is speaking to me and telling me why I should join them, then I am more apt to take a listen.  With MLM Lead System Pro you can create capture pages with your video, voice or pictures and make them unique to your style.

Up-to-date market training to keep you on Top.

One thing that I definitely love about MLM Lead System Pro is the training provided on the network marketing industry.  It has A-1 top of the line training.  The FREE training that you get back pays for the system itself.  You get so much more from the system than you pay for it.  It is a must that I highly recommend this system to you.

“If you want to succeed in this business, you just have to help enough other people succeed.  That will also make you a leader.”

Figuring out what you want out of life does not have to be rocket science. It does not have to cause you confusion or worry. I would dare say that you think too much about it.

Life is a journey and not a destination. It does not ultimately matter what you do moment to moment. It matters that you live your life in the moment that you are in. Be present. Enjoy what you are doing now to the best of your ability. If you find no joy in what you are doing, then by all means… do something else.

Did you realize that I did not say find something else to do? There is a reason for this. When you are looking for some action to fill your time, then you are lost in the abyss of many options. When you decide quickly to take another action, then do that with full presence and joy, you are then living. If you would like to jump from job to job. It is okay. Remember, however; there are consequences for every action whether good or bad.

I love when I hear the saying “Fail quickly.” It is an important key to living a great life. We become “bummed out” by mulling over decisions and taking too much time doing nothing with our lives. When you are doing something that you love, then time just seems to fly by. When you are doing nothing, time almost seems to stand still. This is the place where we get stuck in the time warp of indecision. We get lost in the sea of worry. Life was meant to be lived with ACTION; not to be spent doing nothing.

Now for Failing Forward with a Plan>>>

1. I am interested in doing XYZ business. So, now I need a plan. Because I know that reinventing the wheel is just a no, no. So, next…
2. I find a business mentor. Someone who has found the success that I want to find. (Now, it is not necessary that I contact this mentor myself. I could read a book by this mentor or follow a blog. Even though face to face contact can be golden. Using the phone is also, somewhere next to gold.)
3. I do what I am told to do by my mentor. In the beginning I do it explicitly until I find some success. Not veering away from the path in the future I will have developed the insight to tweak they system given by my mentor, thereby making the system better. (The student has become the teacher.)
4. I teach someone else what I am learning from the very beginning. There are three reasons for teaching someone else what you are learning.

• a. Teaching another what you are learning reinforces the lesson for you.
• b. You are now positioning yourself as the leader that you need to be in order to thrive in your business
• c. You will get rich by helping enough people solve their problems.

Now, if you find that XYZ business is not the right business for you. It does not bring you joy happiness or passion, then you may want to change to ABC business. (Remember what I said about consequences.) Then repeat the formula above.

As obvious as this should be. I am not going to leave this up to chance. When you are choosing a business or product to promote. Choose something that you already have an akin for. If you haven’t exercised in years and you hate popping pills. Then promoting the next great vitamin may not be the business for you. Unless of course, you have a new found passion to create the healthy lifestyle that you have never had. (That is a slim chance actually. No pun intended.)

If you like singing and you have went down to try out for American Idol once or twice, then you may want to model your business around the new Vocal Computer Software. Funny little biz model, but hey its something you can relate to and might even have a love and passion for. I don’t care if the things you like may not “seem” like money makers, but I assure you they are. You only must change your way of thinking. Which is another article within itself.

Once you have found your business, you will need to promote it.
What better way to promote your business than to brand yourself.
