If You Quit Your Business...

If you quit your business, would you still buy your product regularly?

If so, chances are you have a product that customers would buy. Regular customers who are not also selling it. That doesn't sound very earthshaking, but it will when you do this: Look around your house right now, and note all the stuff you have bought. How much of it do you (want to) sell the way you do your NM stuff?

You are a very big customer. Everyone is. We are a land of consumers. Consumers buy stuff. To use it. Not to sell it. People are buyers, not sellers. They don't want to do sales and don't care much for sales types.

The NM/MLM business has focused for years on recruiting people who want to sell and recruit.

And they're missing 99% of the population - people who want to BUY stuff but not sell it.

If you think your product is good enough so that you'd keep using it if you quit your company, chances are other people might feel the same way. There are WAY more customers for a good thing than people who want to sell that good thing.

So how about it? You ready to find customers who are waiting to buy (but not sell) your product?

Think of this: If you make $10/customer, and you have 10 customers, that's $100/mo if they order each month. 30 customers gets you $300/mo. 100 customers gets you $1,000/mo. One thousand gets you $10,000/mo.

How many people would quit in your group, if they earned only $300/mo?

If you had 1000 customers, earning $10,000/mo, would you still be losing sleep over those elusive recruits you can't find or keep? Hehe.

Of course you don't get even ONE customer without effort, much less one thousand customers. But if they pay you $10 for every $100 order, you know exactly how many customers you need to make whatever number you want. Yes?

If you want to try something new, check out two customer programs...the mini here and the maxi here. Regular customers give you residual income. If they order each month, you get paid. Just like cable TV.

Here's why I added the customer focus to my recruiting programs.

"Listen to experts: respect your own ideas less and less."

Have you lost respect for your own ideas because of them?

So says uber-successful rapper, 50 Cent in his new book. Here's a bit of it:

"You came into this life with the only real possessions that ever matter -- your body, the time that you have to live, your energy, the thoughts and ideas unique to you, and your autonomy. But over the years you tend to give all of this away. You spend years working for others -- they own you during that period. You get needlessly caught up in people's games and battles, wasting energy and time that you will never get back.

"You come to respect your own ideas less and less, listening to experts, conforming to conventional opinions. Without realizing it you squander your independence, everything that makes you a creative individual." More here

He's in the music business. You are in the network marketing business. Here's how it works the same way.

First you learn the biz basics. Either 1) from people who tell you stuff to do and you try it, or 2) you futz through the various activities on your own, trial and error.

Once you have the basics down, you must, to succeed big, find a way to stand out. Making everything your own, like 50 Cent suggests, can help you stand out. Here's how:

Stop conforming and doing and saying everything everyone else does. How will you stand out if you sound the same as everyone else? Where's the edge in that?

In the How To Attract a Market Seminar starting December 2, I will show you how to stand out. So you can get the attention of peeps who matter to your business? Because you'll learn to lead with you - your ideas, your why's, your story. That's what 50 Cent did, it's what Ray Charles and Johnny Cash did (scroll half way down).

Do not underestimate yourself, your creativity, your talents, hopes, dreams and your story. Offer these up to others. What if they come?

How To Attract a Market will be a small private teleclass. Starts Dec 2. See here. How To Stand Out is one of five major topics we'll cover. Who else is ready to stand out?

Brilliant or Stupid?

Advice...from the guy who has to tell Congress and the country what their proposed legislation will cost the taxpayers.

"I get e-mail messages and read blog postings that think I’m a brilliant hero, and I also get blog postings and e-mail messages that think I’m a stupid traitor, and I’ve learned to let that roll off my back."- DOUGLAS W. ELMENDORF, head of the Congressional Budget Office, which assesses how legislation would affect the federal budget.

Make Everything Your Own

From the new book by 50 Cent (the uber-successful rapper)...

"You came into this life with the only real possessions that ever matter -- your body, the time that you have to live, your energy, the thoughts and ideas unique to you, and your autonomy. But over the years you tend to give all of this away. You spend years working for others -- they own you during that period. You get needlessly caught up in people's games and battles, wasting energy and time that you will never get back.

"You come to respect your own ideas less and less, listening to experts, conforming to conventional opinions. Without realizing it you squander your independence, everything that makes you a creative individual.

"Before it is too late, you must reassess your entire concept of ownership. It is not about possessing things or money or titles. You can have all of that in abundance but if you are someone who still looks to others for help and guidance, if you depend on your money or resources, then you will eventually lose what you have when people let you down, adversity strikes, or you reach for some foolish scheme out of impatience.

"True ownership can only come from within. It comes from a disdain for anything or anybody that impinges upon your mobility, from a confidence in your own decisions, and from the use of your time in constant pursuit of education and improvement.

"Only from this inner position of strength and self-reliance will you be able to truly work for yourself and never turn back. If situations arise in which you must take in partners or fit within another organization, you are mentally preparing yourself for the moment when you will move beyond these momentary entanglements.

"If you do not own yourself first, you will continually be at the mercy of people and circumstance, looking outward instead of relying on yourself and your wits..."

Great stuff. Think?

Yeah, I made $31,787 my third month

New FTC-Safe ad? You decide. FTC rule vid and brief write-up here.

"Yeah, I did make that. And lemme tell you right now: nobody else made jack. You probably won't either.

"Because I did some cool kick-ass stuff. Stuff people noticed. That's what ya hafta do.

"The others just make noise. They all say the same lame crap. Nobody knows nothin. Nobody does nothin that's their own. Buncha parrots. Who cares?

"If anyone that knows their xhit wants to do some original kick-ass stuff, tell em to call me. Otherwise, leave me alone. Vincent 899-888-1111"
