Here is something to think about and I hope it helps all of you that read this post:

Online MLM is just like a physical exercise program in many ways. I'm going to list the first way these two things are alike. Please post with other ways that Online MLM Is Like A Physical Fitness Program:

#1: You need to actually DO the exercises in a physical fitness program in order to derive any benefit from the program -- you can't just THINK about doing them. It is the same with Online MLM -- you need to DO the activities that build your business. Surfing the Internet, shuffling papers, reading your junk email (and on and on) will not build your business. Pretending to be in business will not get it done. Only the activities that produce results will get results!

OK everybody -- what are the other ways these two things are alike?

Hey Dean great metaphor! O.K. here we go...

Also Just like in a Physical Fitness Program...
It is consistant effort done throughout a period of time that gets results,
and it get results faster than doing a ton of exercise one day a week or oven
one week a month!

In network marketing... if you work your business everyday... even if it is just for 1 or 2 hours a day.
Over a period of 90 days... you will not recognize yourself or your business!

Tommorrow is the first day of 2009 First Primary Recruiting Season!
If you start tommorow and work your business 2 hrs. a day and walk for 30 minutes a day.
You won't believe the difference in your life come April 1st!

To the TOP!

p.s. Just like going to the gym and drinking a smoothy while you socialize is not going to make you healthier!

Working your business does not include filing papers or getting ready to write and article or getting ready to make a video or calling your upline/downline to see how their day is going...

Good point Dean.

I've made this connection myself.

I've been working out for many years (entering my 3rd decade, no less) and what I take from it is this: what has made me successful in my physical training is often working out when I don't really feel like it - knowing that I will feel good afterward AND that it will set me up to have some good training sessions when I am in the mood.

I think it boils down to the fact that if you have the faith that when you stick with it and be consistent and persistent, you WILL GET RESULTS.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on this because, to be honest, I would like to apply this philosophy to my IM more than I have been. A great way to start 2009.

Personally...

..I hate excerise and the only way for me is to take a tincture of the hottest
peppers and be drop off at a location where I am not familiar with..I then take
a zip of the tincture and you should see me run like crazy looking for water!

Just kidding of course but I do use hot peppers for remedies, and nutrient..they
are loaded with vitamin C and A which is good for diabities and for smokers..

However, as mention that if we exercise daily we "KNOW" we are going to get better..

The key word here is knowing..Network Marketing is about numbers and we know that
1+1 is 2..

So why do we believe or have faith when we can know?..

If I was going to start Networking in this here net..here is what I know..

1. I know that If I show prospect what we are going to do will know it's going to
happen..

2. I know that is it's about something they are familiar with they will understand and
will go for it..

3. I know that what we are doing can generate for us income streams with only one effort
that will mulitply over and over and I know that if I show them they will know too!

I gave up believing and having faith long time ago and hey..that's just me..

Depending on what info we were raised with we are stuck with such believes..

1. Core Believe..
2. Culturual Believe.
3. Hand me down Info..
4. Advertising Believe..

Whatever else we can think of..

Here is some income streams that I talk about and show my prospects..

Monthly Newsletter with monthly fee for funding..

Weekly Newsletter..

20 different News letters as we grow..membeship sight..etc..

Monthly income plus weekly income..plus 20 Newsletter with more monthly and
weekly income plus membership income etc..

Different Newsletter will help learning about dog lovers, cat lovers, etc..and have
thing in common..a good way to build relations with each other..

Newsletter is about marketing and development..All we are doing is excersing our mind
plus getting funded as part of developing because of the energy that money give
us and more intelligence that comes with such income!

P.S. Of course, if I am using any material to educate in the marketing, I would use
Dillards stuff and help master it..I know they can afford it!

OK

I know something about exercise. I trained for the Olympic wrestling team for over a decade.

How about USE IT OR LOSE it. If you don’t work your muscles regularly they will atrophy and get weaker. If you don’t continually sharpen your technical skills your reflexes slow down. Your mental concentration also suffers.

With MLM the more you work your skills the more they grow. If you fail to talk to prospects on a regular basis, about your business, you lose your sharpness. You might not have the ready answers to objections that you should.

Your either growing or dying.

Here is another one.

The better your workout partners the better you will be. If you train with people who are better than you and who will challenge you, your level will rise very quickly.

It is the same with business. Working closely with others ,who are more accomplished than you can only benefit you. Their knowlege and skill will start to rub off on you. You will develop quicker. So get on a good team with strong workout partners.

Wade's analogy and advice below is excellent - ask questions of people who have gone before you.

Whenever I took a new sales job in corporate America, I invited the top producer out to lunch. My purpose was to find out all of their techniques for making bonuses, over-achieving quota and always being at the top of the sales scoreboard. They shared everything they knew and soon after, I became the top producer!

In terms of MLM, you will definitely want people more successful than you on your team so that together you will grow.

Personally...

..I remember a handicapp person and I forgot his name and yeah..it's been that long,
I first myself and others thought that it was because his handicapp that made him
successful until I heard him say "If Continue To Think Like You Always Thought, You
Continue To Get What You Always Got..Is That Enough?"

I had started Personal Development and wanted to give it up and almost did untill
I heard that saying..

That what made him successful..nothing else and they have been other handicapp
people that succeeded so different strokes for different folks is always been that
way..Yeah, if you want to get smart we hang with people that are smarter than us
that why it's good to come by here as much as possible..

I thank him and never get tired and never will forget his face..I continue with my
personal development and learn about human nature that was what made me..
