The price is always right

A few days ago I had dinner and coffee with my good friend Kathleen Ronald, who is one of the highest rated women keynote speakers in the country... and since we haven't seen each other for a few months we had lots to catch up on.  (Oh, by the way, she interviewed Ferny & Ray about Better Networker and the network marketing industry back in December if you haven't read the article.)

So we got talking about friendship and business and what not... And as we exchanged some invaluable coaching tips... (so glad that I constantly expand my skills and knowledge so I have something of value to offer her in return) a very interesting subject came up... which was how to handle situations in which certain people, particularly our friends who continually disrepect our time, be it seeking free consulting and advice, presenting an opportunity or whatever else.

Are You Guilty of This?

After a few years of studying, practicing and and seeking to perfect the art of communicating and connecting with others in the industry, and of course Internet marketing the last couple of years... I've observed that the entitlement mindset being one of the biggest reasons why people do not succeed, whatever success means to them. 

While it is true that the upline's most important responsibility in our industry should be helping the downline members succeed, it also creates a trap that could cause the undisciplined to take things for granted.  Pretty soon, that becomes standard business practice to them.

I'm sure you've seen it happen.

Free is not valued as greatly as something that takes time, effort or money to acquire.  That is built into our subconscious.  And those that don't treat "free" advice with care and attention will fall victim to their own short-sighted thinking.

So what that translates into, as network marketers start learning about Internet Marketing and PAID consulting, is that they whine and complain about the cost of the advice and coaching... 

But you know what, of all of the Internet Marketing courses and training I've invested in... all $21,000+... not a red cent was wasted!  If something didn't work... it's because I didn't follow the instructions!
