Let’s Begin with the Basics

Number one is Prospecting ( LIST Building)
If you put your marketing plan in front of people (Prospects),some of them will
join.Some will develop a big business,some will develop a small business.
But before we can start building the business,we must have a LIST of people
to whom we can show our marketing plan.
I am often asked,”Where do I get my list of people?”
Well,the good news is that you don’t have to start with a list of a thousand names!
Look around you and think of the millions of people who have the potential to build a huge multi-million dollar business.
My suggestion is to take the help of your ‘sponsor’(the person who brought you into the business) in making a list of names.
First,make a LIST of people you already know well.Call these your ‘PRIMARY PROSPECTS’.
My humble request to you is not to prejudge anyone by way of their background,present status or how rich or poor they are.You have to understand that this business is for everyone.All kinds of people,from doctors to lawyers to businessmen to housewives are succeeding in this business.If YOU don’t show someone this business, sooner or later someone else will!
As you get more familiar with the working of the business, you will meet more and more people.Call these your SECONDARY PROSPECTS.Keep adding names to this LIST
as you make new friends.This could well turn out to be your biggest list.
Finally,I suggest you have three lists:
1) The Local List:This is your initial list and you will be working on this in the beginning.This is a list of people you are familiar with and who live at a comfortable distance from your home.
2) Distance List: This list will comprise of people who live further away,say more than 200 kms. Once you have gained in confidence ,you can begin to develop the business from this list.
The International List: Most of the reputed home businesses have a global presence.Therefore,there is a possibility of ‘sponsoring’ people from other countries as well.

In my next post,I will give you some PROSPECTING TIPS.

Are You Fired Up?

So many people are trapped in jobs they hate. Jobs that provide them with no sense of accomplishment, satisfaction or challenge. In due time, they become resigned to their fate: lack of money, lack of time. Even the dreams of a different lifestyle become remote and are gradually forgotten.' Resignation' sets in.
As a physician with over 20 years in practice, this is what happened to me. I had lapsed into life's resignation. Although I am comfortably off, I earn my living from day to day. If I worked my hours, I got paid. If not, I didn’t. I had resigned myself to the 'fact' that I am a physician and this is all I could do.It has its finer moments but I felt I was missing something. I no longer felt a spark for my work .It had become a job ,a drudgery for me.Get up in the morning ,get ready, have my breakfast, go the clinic everydaySee patients, sometimes even those who ruin my entire day.Monotonous routine with no passion.
Then came Network Marketing.Network Marketing has given me something I had forgotten all about.
Passion, desire and the ability to live a life of choice!

Network Marketing as a Way to Generate Passive Income

"Robert Kiyosaki recognized that network marketing is an effective, powerful way to move products and services. Network marketing greatly utilizes LEVERAGE, which is what makes network marketing such an effective business model. People can now make more money in a shorter time, not relying solely on their own efforts. Network Marketing has the BEST leveraging power in generating passive income.

Network marketing is very reasonable for people that don't have big capital. Opening your own business or franchising a business could cost you a fortune, but network marketing usually costs very little to start. You can always find a good network marketing company and stick with the company for 5 years. There you can learn how to build your network and achieve Financial Freedom.

The Concept of Two Kinds of Income

In today's world,money plays a very important role in people's lives. But very few people REALLY understand money.
The concept of what making money means is not taught in schools and universities.
Did you know that there are two kinds of income-ACTIVE and PASSIVE?Most people are familiar with active income.
This is what we make when we exchange our time for money. You could be a doctor,an employee or even a small time business owner.They make money as long as they work.
This income depends on the number of hours you can work.
No one can replace you.As a doctor,I have felt this time and again.
Whenever I have been unwell or away on important assignments, my ACTIVE income has stopped!
But what about PASSIVE INCOME?
The definition of traditional passive income is "income generated with minimal work from your investments such as interest, dividends, or real estate rentals".
Passive income is defined as income you generate without actually being involved in the actions that generate the income. In other words, it does not require your direct involvement. You can be sick, go on vacation, and still generate income, as the income will not stop just because you’re not there!
Passive income will allow you to multiply your revenue without having to multiply your work.

WHICH INCOME WILL YOU PREFER-PASSIVE or ACTIVE?

Things to look for in a Network Marketing Program

Network Marketing Companies abound by the thousands. A lot of people have joined network-marketing programs and made lots of money from their efforts. Anybody with ambition and energy can probably find a company that suits them and join it and eventually attain financial freedom.
However, we must remember that this is a business and like any other business, one must put forth effort to achieve your goals. There are some things to consider before signing on the dotted line
First, be sure of the Network Marketing Company you join. Make sure that it is all that it claims to be. Make sure that you are actually promoting a product or service. If you get paid more for recruiting than you do for selling, then it could be a pyramid scheme.. Make sure that the company has a good record and that it will not only make regular payments to you, but also that it is going to be around for a long time.
Secondly, be sure that the product you are promoting has mass appeal- that is something that all people will want. Does it sell itself? Will people be making a beeline for you to purchase this product? You should make sure to have such a product because that will make your efforts a lot easier.
Making money with a network-marketing program isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. JUST FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!

Build People. People will build your business.

These were the first two sentences spoken to me by my upline.And you know what? He was so right!People are the cornerstone of network marketing.Not sales,not products but.......PEOPLE!

Remember this.

My Reasons Revisited

It all began about 3 years ago.I have a fairly successful family practice of eighteen years standing. I used to think that having my own practice with a regular 'clientele' was a very good thing indeed!Life was good.I have a loving wife and two great kids, a girl (now in college) and a boy who is still in school.We are, by present standards in my country,an upper middle class family (whatever that means!) with a double income.Oh,did I forget to tell you that my wife teaches in a very good boarding school?
So,you get the picture? A small family,the couple doing well in their respective fields,two well brought up kids,the family car,gizmos,vacations,even a family dog.Sounds good so far.
Except for one thing.DEBT!Loads of it.Tons of it.I don't know about you,but I definitely feel we are living in this make believe world where one has this false sense of security.You know where you have that feeling that NOTHING can go wrong with us.We imagine we will work for maybe 30-40 years and then enjoy the fruits of our labor.Have a beautiful home,relax in the sun,go on a world tour ,whatever.And then you realise that unless YOU do something about it,IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!
That's what happened to me.I read somewhere that if you do the same things every day you can't expect different results.I guess it's true.
Here I am.Upto my neck in the stuff.You know, DEBT.Credit cards,personal loans,property loans,you name it ,I have it.And one thing is for sure.There are a lot of people like me out there.
They just find it hard to admit that they are neck deep in it.
That is when one medical salesman walked into my chamber and introduced me to the concept of network marketing.

Find Your Reasons:The Rest Will Follow

By nature I am a very quiet person:
I would rather keep to myself and be in front of a computer screen than in a
group of 2 or more people, or even talking to someone that I don’t know for that
matter. I am not shy;. If I don’t have to meet new people, that's fine with me!

However, this past weekend things changed in me.
No, I didn't turn into a friendly social butterfly; But my mindset ; it
underwent a sea-change. I can't put my finger on it - but this seminar I
attended over the weekend, really did something to me.
I learnt principals and tactics that could be applied in a practical way to make a
lot of money.
Before this past weekend I would have been
satisfied if I were making $3,000 a week with whatever business I was into. Not
to say that that’s bad money - most families can probably live on that amount
very comfortably. It’s not because of greed:
I HAVE FOUND SOME REASONS TO DO IT!

Some of my Favorite Quotes

You can help a thousand, but you
cannot carry 3 on your back. Learn to help those who deserve, not those who
need" - Jim Rohn

"You don't have to get it perfect,
you just need to get it started" - Joe Schoeder

"If you always do what you've always done...
you'll always have what you've always had." (Larry Weatherford)

Your Happiness is Up to You

Now,this is very important to know if one has to
do well in Network Marketing
and I quote:

The biggest myth about happiness is when people say that it is not legitimate or correct for you to put your happiness ahead of everyone else's. Throughout my life, I've met people who have said that it is more important to make other people happy than it is to make yourself happy.
This is nonsense.The fact is that you can't give away to anyone
else what you don't have for yourself. Just as you can't give money to the poor
if you don't have any, you can't make someone else happy if you yourself are miserable.
The very best way to assure the happiness of others is to be happy yourself and then to share your happiness with them. Suffering and self-sacrifice merely depress and discourage other people. If you want to make others happy, start by living the kind of life and doing the kind
of things that make you happy."
