Ladies and Gentlemen, in order to have a successful network marketing business you must be willing to follow directions and have some type of plan or system in place.  I’m going to reveal some simple tips that will help guide you to the success you are looking for.  These tips are nothing new and you don’t need a PHD in order to comprehend.  Take notes if you need to and sit back and enjoy this educational ride.

1.  The very first tip is you must treat your business like a business.  Your business is not a job or a hobby, so don’t treat it as such. If you do, then plan on earning a job/hobby salary which is normally peanuts.  You are an entrepreneur now so drop that employee mentality.

2.  Start building a schedule for your network marketing business.  Time is very precious and you must use it wisely.  Plan out your day so you know exactly what needs to be done on a daily basis.  Set time slots for your marketing, prospecting and self development.  Make sure you stay consistent and follow through.  I say this because most human beings get distracted and procrastinate for whatever reason.  Don’t start your business off on the wrong foot.

3.  You need to become a goal setter and commit them to paper.  WRITE THEM DOWN! Challenge yourself to see if you can hit your long term and short term goals.  This is a great way to stay motivated because if you hit one goal it creates the drive to hit one after the other.  Having a successful network marketing business is the ultimate goal right, so commit and see what happens.

4.  You must invest at least 95% of your time in activities that makes you money.  Learning how to add WordPress plugins to your blog is not going to make you any money.  Jumping on that phone and prospecting your ass off is a money making activity. If nobody joins your business then money isn’t being made, so you must talk to as many people as possible.  Marketing is a money making activity because it can produce leads to call or can even generate sales.  Make sure you stay on top of this tip.

5.  I just talked about this a little bit on tip 4 which is generating leads.  If you don’t have anyone to talk to then your business is DEAD! This is where your marketing skills come into play whether it’s article marketing, video marketing, social media, pay per click, solo ads, etc.  Focus on one marketing strategy and hit it as hard as you can.  Stay consistent and results are sure to follow.  Give yourself 90 days with that particular marketing method and then see where you are at.

6.  Taking action is a major factor when it comes to this industry.  In my opinion this is probably the most important tip out of the seven.  Many fail to act and wonder why they aren’t successful.   Take action today and you can literally see results tomorrow.  Also try your best to out produce everybody because that shows leadership, dedication, and serious drive.  If you want success more than anybody, then act the part.

7.  Last but not least, make upfront money whether someone joins your business or not.  A great example is having a funnel system that provides value and products that your prospect may need or want.  GIVE IT TO THEM! Everyone isn’t going to join your network marketing business but there is no reason why you can’t capitalize on that.  My Lead System Pro is a perfect example.

Now if you can follow these simple tips you can be well on your way to having a successful business.  Network marketing is not as hard as people think it is, but people just make it hard on themselves because they don’t following directions.  The ball is in your court so how bad do you want to score!

If you are employed and you decide to enter the world of network marketing you must be willing to make that transition from employee to entrepreneur in order to make it in this industry.  You have to focus your energy into possessing a business mindset and you must be willing to kick that employee mentality like a bad habit in order to move forward.   The transition is not that difficult especially for the people that hate their job.  You should ask yourself, is it worth taking a chance on network marketing which could provide financial freedom, compared to working a job for the rest of your life that pays peanuts.

Watch my rant video below to see what type of questions you must ask yourself in the transition from a job to network marketing.

If you truly want to create a 6 figure income in network marketing then you must follow a simple formula.  Before we get started I want you to understand that you must be willing to dedicate at least 3-5 years of hard work and consistency.  To be honest, you really can’t put a time limit on success because people reach it at different stages if at all.   If this formula is followed correctly it could literally explode your network marketing business to a 6 figure lifestyle.

If you want to create a 6 figure income in network marketing then the first thing you should do is get a pen & pad to take notes.  You the entrepreneur must “personally sponsor 100 people” into your primary opportunity to obtain the lifestyle you seek.  The reason for this is because 80% of them won’t do a damn thing, 15 of them will do a little bit and 5 will simply set your business on FIRE! Now I know some of you are saying DAMN Tawn, I haven’t sponsored anybody yet, so how in the hell am I going to sponsor 100 people.  Don’t worry because I’m about to break it down for you so you can see how simple this can be if you really think about it.  It’s proven and it works in a big way.

You must be willing to put in at least 5 hours or more a week working on lead generation.  Try and plan out your week so you can focus on quality marketing.  Maybe do article and video marketing on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Tuesdays and Thursdays will be offline marketing, and Fridays can be social media.  It really doesn’t matter what type of marketing methods you use to generate leads as long as it gets the job done.  The only thing that matters is getting countless amounts of leads to call.  You just want to be creative and consistent.

Now this is where the formula comes into play.  You must sponsor 2 people per week into your network marketing business in order to reach the goal of 100.  The rule of thumb is for every 10 people that you get in front of your business presentation each week, 2 people will join your primary business.   So depending on your company, get them in front of a company video, home meeting or training.  This is not always accurate as it can go either way but this is very possible and very doable.  You must be willing to show 500 presentations or more in order to sponsor 100 people into your business.  If you want multiple 6 figures just double your efforts.

I mean you tell me, if it took you 3yrs to sponsor 100 people which produced a $35,000 residual check every single month would it be worth it? The answer to that question is a no brainer.  HELL YEAH IT’S WORTH IT! This is what it takes to be successful amongst other things.  Are you willing to put your head down and go to work so you can Live The Dream of a ROCKSTAR! If you are truly serious about creating a 6 figure income in network marketing then apply this formula for an entire year and then tell me what your business looks like.  It’s not as hard as it sounds and on paper it looks easy.  The real question is how bad do you want financial freedom?

It cracks me up to see people complain and belittle network marketing because they fell flat on their face.  “I hate network marketing because it doesn’t work and they rob you of your money.  It cost me way too much money.” This is the kind of garbage I hear from fallen network marketers all the time.  These are the type of network marketers that want something for nothing and do nothing to get something. These are the same people that claim t0 be broke but will quickly spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on stuff they really can’t afford but won’t spend it on a business which could solve their financial situation. Nothing is free in this world and you must bust your ass to get what you want. Network Marketing is not as hard as people make it out to be and the cost is minimal compared to a standard small business.

WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER SPEND?

In this economy, I’m sure plenty of people are evaluating their risk or money.  Even in these trying times money is still being pumped into either a home based business which you can have with a small investment or a small business which can add up to several thousand. Check it out…before I got started in all of this I was a musician.  I would make beats all the time which I would either giveaway or sell them.  I was a young producer looking to start up my own production company but realized I was in over my head.  I got intimidated when I found out how much extra work was involved and how it was going to cost me over $20,000 to get started. I’m talking business license, contracts, marketing, training, equipment, studio time, website, and much more.  Not an affordable way to make money when starting out.

Now my first mlm adventure started back in 2006 with a $10 a month investment.  In my first month I made over $200 and then went on to earn about $800 monthly for about a year until the company changed the compensation plan.  Nothing major but I was making some ok money with this mlm company.  You see, it doesn’t really matter how much money you invest in your network marketing business whether it’s $10 or $1000.  Money has to be spent regardless but it all boils down to belief, effort, determination, consistency and you. My recent MLM company cost me $500 to join and I will never complain about my decision.  I don’t know about you but I would rather start a business for $500 over $20,000 any day.  No legal headaches or overhead. Understand businesses cost money and if you are not willing to invest in it then why have a business in the first place!

DO YOUR RESEARCH…

Before you start any network marketing business make sure you do your due diligence first.  Don’t just jump into the first opportunity you see.  There are too many scams out there that you don’t want to be apart of so choose wisely.  There are several places to check out legit mlm companies like mlmrankings.com or npros.com.  Once you find the right one run with it and never quit.

Ladies and Gentlemen, network marketing is a very affordable business which is changing lives every single day. Stop asking the wrong questions like, “how much is this business going to cost me?” You should be asking yourself how much money can I make with this business. The more you focus on the cost of the business, the more likely you will never get started in the first place.  Life is about taking risks and we have all taken risks at some point in our lives. Lets stop making excuses and start taking action.  What if I was selling a brand new 2011 Mercedes Benz 500 series for only $1000 no strings attached, would you take action and come up with the money?  If your answer is yes then why not do the same thing for your business.  The car isn’t going to build you wealth but having a network marketing business can put you in a great position.

I could provide several problems newbies face when it comes to making money in network marketing but I’m going to give you the top 5.  Newbie marketers fail and quit before they even get started 95% of the time.  The perception of network marketing is that it is super easy and you can make lots of money with minimal work or effort.  NOT TRUE AT ALL, because if it was everyone would be rich.  You must bust your ass to be successful and if you don’t the problems below are normally the reason why.

TAKING ACTION

This is probably the number one problem newbies have in network marketing.  They never take action and when they do they are not committed enough to make it work.  Taking action means you cease the opportunity, believe in yourself & your decision with the will to win.  I know this may sound corny to some of you but it’s the truth. I’m not a college professor and I like to keep it super simple. Work your business until the wheels fall off the day you take action !

PROCRASTINATION

I can honesty say that procrastination was a serious problem for me when I made the decision to become a network marketer.  I would always push things I needed done to the following day like:  I’ll call that lead and watch the training video tomorrow!   My downline needs help, oh well I’ll get back to them sometime this week.  Sometimes it would be a month that went by or nothing got done at all.  I WAS TERRIBLE!! If you want to be on “TOP” then make sure you are on top of your business priorities.  You must treat your business with respect because procrastination leads to empty pockets.  If you want to be broke then treat your business like a hobby.

WINNING MINDSET

If you don’t have the right mindset you are on a crash course to failure.  I’m not just talking about any mindset, I talking about a winning mindset.  Have you ever wondered why some individuals just seem to be better at everything?  They operate with more mental clarity, handle stress a lot better, have that glow of confidence, and know exactly what they want.  They don’t appear to be any smarter, more talented or better in anyway when you look at them.  Yet, they get RESULTS! Well, the obvious reason for this is education and self development. It takes time and effort to develop a willing mindset so are you up for the challenge?

OVER ANALYZING

Stop over analyzing things and just do it like NIKE! The more you analyzing the less progress you will have.  In my experience this leads to being hypercritical toward yourself or others, over thinking and high stress levels.  This alone will keep you from the finish line. The best thing to do is “go with the flow.”

MARKETING

Marketing is another problem newbie network marketers have. Most of the time newbie network marketers don’t know how to market effectively online or offline.  When they do learn how to market they usually do it the incorrect way and fail miserably. Newbies should focus on using one marketing strategy first and master that method before moving on to other strategies. Understand that every marketing method isn’t going to work for you.  You have to find the one that best fits your needs and gets you results.  There are too many marketing techniques to choose from so you don’t have any excuse.

I was once a newbie and these were problems I had to solve and you will too.  Once you get over the hump, it’s all downhill thereafter.  Life is all about problems and obstacles but the real question is do you have the power to over come them?
