The best time to break the rules is when you are absolutely convinced that conventional wisdom and the crowd are wrong.

For example, when Dan Kennedy started in the speaking business, everybody billed for fees and expenses after the speaking engagement and those who sold from the platform sort of begged to do it. Dan broke the “rules” and demanded 50% up front to take a date off the calendar and wouldn’t speak at any event where they wouldn’t let him sell from the platform.

Taken from Dan Kennedy's blog.

Where most of the speakers were content to wait for the sales to come from the know, like and trust factor and the Attraction Marketing philosophy, Dan Kennedy blazed the trail for change and sales.

What could we do to 'break the rules' and steer away from the crowds and conventional wisdom ?

What a great question! This will have me thinking for a while. I am a firm believer that we all have unique gifts and talents. Most of us don't trust ourselves enough to explore them, let alone put them into action. This question is a gateway to our own greatness.

Thank you!

Hi Joyce,

How do we break the rules?

By going for it whatever it is you want. We don't have to be different or do something different in order to stand out we just have to be willing to jump off the cliff without knowing how deep the other end is.

Our passion and strong confidence in ourselves will naturally help us play bigger and stand out without really trying.

People with confidence take a stand. As you know Joyce, I've been busy with interviewing successful people in MLM and each interview has helped me to see a bigger vision for what I am creating. I'm so filled with passion and confidence that I am naturally defying all the rules.

Appreciation from the Heart,

Richard

P.S. Hey Joyce your interview is in line to be edited in the next week or so.

Well most of us here are in MLM and in the words of Dan Kennedy he would say too many of us have our heads up our asses.

The traditional MLM has been built is warm market then we here started using the internet. If any of you know Dan he is not a internet guy so I told plan ole' sales letter hooked it up to a per-recorded message that is a info product not sales pitch like MLM uses.

Now the Free education highlights the importance of why a person should buy.

I spend $2.97 for 500 sheets of paper at Wal-mart 4 rolls of tape $4.00 pre-recorded message $49.95 month I took 100 flyers 27 leads in 24 hours 3 sales in 72 hours at $365 each.

This is what I learned from Dan.
