Biz Opportunity Seeker | How to acquire wealth
Are you a Biz Opportunity Seeker wondering how to acquire wealth? Have you ever met someone who has all the money they wish for, along with all the time to do the things they’d like to do? Have you wondered how they acquired that wealth?
In a few short paragraphs I will explain what they know that you may not, and how you can acquire that wealth and lifestyle for yourself.
The first thing you must understand is the difference between Recurring Income and Linear Income.
AS A BIZ OPPORTUNITY SEEKER, THIS IS A SIMPLE CONCEPT THE WEALTHY UNDERSTAND!
Linear income means when you work you receive income, but when you stop working your income stops.
If you are a school bus driver, corporate guy/gal, teacher, mechanic, even a surgeon, or lawyer, you have linear income.
As your head hits the pillow tonight, ask yourself, “Am I making money now, as I sleep?” If the answer is No, than you are earning Linear Income.
Recurring income happens when you do the work right one time, but you get paid over and over and over again for that one piece of work.
Some examples of those with recurring income are Paul McCartney, he still earns royalties on songs he wrote, sang and published in his 20’s. Steven King, who has written many Bestsellers, did the work right one time and still gets paid every time someone buys his books.
Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Anniston, both earn recurring incomes. Every time Mission Impossible or Friends runs on TV or DVD, they get paid a small percentage, a royalty.
Paris Hilton, OK she never did anything, but her father did, and because of his wise business choices she now lives the life only a spoiled child could! Hopefully you get the point.
Linear income stops when you stop working, recurring income continues on indefinitely after you do the work right one time.
As a business opportunity seeker, it is imperative to read your policies and procedures to ensure you will recieve recurring income.

Network Marketing Business - Fear of Public Speaking
Image what your life would look like when you have broken the bondage of fear! Would your Network Maketing business expand?
Fear is one of our basic emotions. It is an unpleasant feeling of perceived risk or danger, real or imagined. Fear also can be described as a feeling of extreme dislike. Fear of public speaking is common. Let us now talk about how you would feel giving a Network Marketing presentation in front of potential business partners or product users.
Do you fear something awfully embarrassing or publicly humiliating will happen? They almost never occur and even when they do, you can often use it to your advantage. Using humor can be very useful and it is well appreciated by many.
Does your audience expect perfection?
No. They want you to succeed. If you get nervous when you stand up to speak in front of a group ask your audience forgiveness. Be real and honest. Be yourself. Connect with your audience by sharing your own human mistakes and stories.
What if someone disapproves of you or disagrees with what you are saying. It’s Okay. Everyone has a right to their own opinions, judgments and values. You do not have control of their beliefs. You can not please everyone.
What is the audience looking for?
All they want is two or three key points that will make a difference to them. They want to know how this information will benefit them. Prepare your thoughts and material, arrange for audio-visual aids as necessary and be responsible for the layout of the room.
So remember, give your audience something of value. When you are talking to people, imagine handing out $100 bills worth of information to them. A few individuals in the group may reject the gift and many will be forever grateful. Speak with the purpose to give or contribute rather than to get. Tell them what you are going to tell them and then tell them. Lastly summarize by telling them what you told them. Always remember synopsis, substance and summary. You cannot control the behavior of your audience but you change your own attitude.
All the best in Network Marketing Business

Network Marketing Tips - Duplication
Duplication in Network Marketing involves having a proven system with upline support, training and mentoring. Such a plan should include up to date system methods.
Times have changed and methods have evolved.
The things that worked a few years ago, do not work today. Yet many companies and teams still use and teach outdated system methods.
Are home parties working in your area? Is your town “all partied out?” Approximately 92% of the population does not like to sell or be sold. Is there a way to promote your product without coming across salesy?
Most Network Marketing companies will first ask new distributor to focus on their warm market. A warm market consists of people they know such as relatives, friends and co-workers.
A Network Marketing company or upline will instruct you to pull out a sheet of paper and write down a list of 100 names of family and friends. WOW. I have never done that and I do not know anyone who has been successful using this method. This does not work! Yet companies and team leaders still teach it.
What does work?
A step by step action plan is needed. This plan should be easily to follow. It should be a plan that you can teach everyone. Remember most of the people you bring in are going to be part time, average people. So the key to look for is an overall system that everyone can do.
Network Marketing is about people. Have a system that will teach your downline about building relationships. The quicker a person can build a relationship with someone, the easier they will build a team. Becoming a color profiler is a must. For more information click on Network Marketing Training.
It is important to understand how to build “the list” from your cold market. Your cold market are people you do not know and have not yet met. There are a number of ways to build your list. The internet is a great tool. Some folks buy leads. I personally would not recommend this unless you know where the leads came from since most of these leads are sold over and over and over again. Ever wonder why the leads you bought acted put off or your prospects tend to be short with you?
In my opinion, it’s best to start on a low budget and test your market before spending a lot of money. Your upline should provide training on designing marketing headlines that capture your prospects attention and creates curiosity.
As my mentor “Big Al” say, 'your first sentence or headline is everything. If you don't capture your prospect's interest immediately, you are wasting your time.' Let your imagination flow! It is a good idea to create your own leads. This way your leads tend to be of quality.
Do you have a mentor? Everyone in Network Marketing should have a mentor. Someone who has 'been there and done that' and can teach and guide you along the way.
Just click on MLM nurse and fill out the information. As a gift to you, we will send you a free e-book “Success in 10 Steps.” I will be on contact with you to see how we can best serve you.

Network MarketingTraining| Leadership
What is leadership as it relates to Network Marketing Training?
Leadership is a process by which a leader influences people to convert their purpose or dream (their why) into reality with and through their cooperation that they would not have accomplished on their own. Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills. A network marketing leader touches people before they can ever change their life. They touch them emotionally, and in the heart. A leader has a servant’s heart and is there to help take people to a whole new level.
What does a Leader look like?
Leaders show an air of simple elegance and refinement in attitude and form. They appear physically, emotionally and spiritually strong, yet they seem to have even greater strength in reserve. They are poised, coordinated and balanced. Their command is effortless, assured and confident. They are calm and alert. They look and feel good. They hold their heads up, shoulders back and eyes forward. They breathe deeply filling their belly with air slowly and more fully with each breath. Their muscles are relaxed and most physical movements are loose, light, fluid, agile and flexible. They speak with a soft voice in a thoughtful manner, rarely interrupt and are brief and to the point. There is power in their voice and words. They walk with a purpose yet are not rushed. They have a firm handshake. Their eyes are friendly, their demeanor is respectful and their smile begins in their mind. They exhibit both style and class.
Who can become a leader?
Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. Leaders are not people with exceptional talent; they are people who have learned from their mistakes and get up and try again. A leader works hard. Leaders do not grow in a comfort zone.
How to become a Network Marketing leader that will ensure your success?
*Leaders are readers.
Read quality books, books that motivate and inspire you. Set aside at least 15 minutes daily for quiet time. Think of it as a gift you give yourself. As step one, I recommend reading Success in 10 Steps.
*Know yourself and seek self-improvement.
Address your limitations. Losers make promises but leaders make it happen.
* Learn effective communication skills.
Speak with and not at people. Learn to use people’s names. Be an active listener. Look at the person who is talking. Do not interrupt or fidget. Be aware of their body language. Sometimes just be silent. Think twice and speak once.
* Ask questions and observe.
Questions are stepping-stones to self-improvement. Remember, the only meaningless question is the one not asked.
*Study people.
Learn their different personalities, listen for their hot spots. Observe how others express themselves.
*Learn from past experience.
View mistakes as opportunities to grow.
*Join a Mastermind group.
*Learn marketing skills.
* Develop secretary skills, stay organized.
* Manage your time wisely.
* Become an expert in your field.
Leaders will express themselves in the following ways
Leaders will be honorable, honesty, competent, candid, consistent, straightforward, loyal, determined, calm, trustworthy, non-judgmental, respectful and ethical. They will have integrity, courage, imagination, endurance, strength of will, self-confidence, compassion and a sense of direction. They will keep their promises and fulfill their commitments. Their words will match their deeds. They will not be self-righteous.
*Leaders know their people and look out for their well-being. They will truly love them.
*Leaders speak with purpose in a clear and precise manner. They believe in their own words. The humor they incorporate adds interest to their speeches. They create interest with word pictures that have power and purpose.
*Leaders build bridges of tolerance and understanding. They attack the argument and not the person. Long term relationships are almost always more important than short-term problems. They are active peacemakers.
*Leaders make everyone feel important. They treat all people with deference. One may react to them rudely, selfishly and with malice but leaders will remain courteous.
* Leaders make an unwavering decision to go to the top.
*Leaders help others identify and develop their strengths. They will be quick to praise and slow to criticize.
*Leaders seek new experiences and adventures. They are open to new ideas for a seemingly small idea is often the nidus of a bigger reality.
*Leaders are persistent, they are willing to stand alone and are prepared to confront resistance. They take reasonability for themselves. They bounce back from disappointments and adapt to change.
* Leaders step forward when most others gladly step back. Why? Because they know that courage grows with action. Fear is learned and must be unlearned. Without fear, there can be no courage. Fear provides the opportunity to grow.
*Leaders are problem solvers. They face the difficulties and deal with them by making wise decisions.
*Leaders give books as presents. A good book is one of the greatest gifts to inspire someone.
When do you want to become a leader?
You can start now.
Do you have dreams and desires? There is hope and a real chance to make your dreams come true.
If Passion (your Why) is the secret weapon to Success
then
Leadership is the secret weapon to Network Marketing.
To your success,
Monica

Arbonne International
Arbonne International: Why I stopped building my Arbonne business and never looked back and what you can learn from my experience.
Facts:
Arbonne is an MLM Network Marketing Company
Arbonne is a legal company and not a MLM scam
Arbonne was the first MLM company I got involved with and I took it seriously.
I was so passionate about their products because I experienced the change in my skin and saw how it helped others. The products are fabulous! I loved their product and I believed in the Arbonne dream.
I make some money initially and build a down line.
So, what was wrong with this company and why did I left it and never look back?
Hung out to dry
1) No marketing system. They did not teach you any marketing tactics or on line marketing. The only way of doing the business was through home parties and your warm market. I did acquire skills afterwards but I refuse to market Arbonne and this is why:
Snake bite...Ouch
2) I read their policies and procedures and found poisons business relationship, it says “You may terminate your relationship with Arbonne at any time by providing a signed written notice to Arbonne. Arbonne may also terminate the relationship with you (including any partnerships, corporations or other entity) at any time by providing written notice. You or Arbonne are not required to have any reason, nor do you or Arbonne have to claim or prove any cause to terminate this relationship. If and when the relationship is terminated, you shall have no claim against Arbonne nor any right to claim or collect lost profits, lost opportunities or any other damages. Termination will result in the loss of all benefits as an Arbonne Independent Consultant.”
Did you get that? They can terminate you any time without a reason!
Ouch!
The prove is in the pudding
3) I was told from my Arbonne up line that we have a great compensation plan. My experience with the compensation plan which was sooo great was that my team broke away from me! It is called a stair step break away plan. Most mlm companies used breakaways in their compensation plans to trick you so they look like they have a good comp plan.
So, obviously I did not want to get anyone in this company anymore because I want to get my team in a good company that offers them a future.
Zero to hero in less than 90 seconds...
4) Hype: Their training, literature and conference calls were great when it came to selling folks a dream. The dream of making huge amount of money and driving a white mercedes benz. The dream of financial freedom and quitting your job to say home with your family. The dream of taking family vacations every year sponsored by Arbonne. Great dreams! According toArbonne, folks were achieving this in a relatively short time. But no one would tell you how they did it. They did not do it by go putting flyers from door to door I will tell you that!
Selling a dream...Now I call it hype... hot air....because without tangible tools that average part time people and do and can earn a fair percentage, it is hype in my book.
Deer in the headlight and eyes wide open
5) I attended Arbonne National Conference one year. The speaker asked all RVP's to stand.
As with any MLM company there are titles that are given to folks who have achieved a certain level in their business. An RVP is close to the top. Below the RVP's are the area manager than the district manager and lastly a consultant.
So when the speaker asked all RVP's to stand, a small group of folks stood in a room of about 6,000 folks. Great! Than the speaker asked all area manager to stand, a larger group of folks stood up. Next the speaker asked all District Manager to stand and lo and behold most of the room stood up.
That is when my eyes opened up. ...only a few are making it big. My friend whispered “we are the little fish feeding the big fish on stage.” That statement stayed with me. Why are all these people having such a hard time building their business? I searched for answers and found them.
Want help?
If you want to learn how to pick an MLM Network Marketing Company that doesn’t rip you off or if you want answers like I did, you can call me anytime and I can share with you what I have learned.
Get educated before you join Arbonne International or any other Network Marketing Company. You do not want to get stuck with lots of products you can not use or sell in a short time.
Make wise choices. I recommend you read Success in 10 steps before joining Arbonne International.
All the best,
Monica

MLM Business-MLM Dream...Is She Nuts?
A friend of mine wrote about her experience with the MLM business and her MLM dream. What do you think? Is she nuts?
When I was first introduced to a MLM business, I was told to start dreaming again. My first thought was, “Is this woman nuts? Doesn’t she know that I was told to stop dreaming a long time ago? These are the cards I’ve been dealt and I’m dealing with them the best that I can!” Frankly, I thought she had just dropped in from another planet! After all, we’re the adults here, dreaming is for kids, the ones with their whole lives ahead of them! Besides, if I start dreaming again then I’ll really have to deal with how my life isn’t supposed to be this way!
Learning to dream again!
As you can probably tell, I was totally dream averse! I was just trying to get by! Well, with that little suggestion, to dream, a seed was planted! At first, it was really scary, but then, my mind took over. I started to think what it would be like to have the life I’ve always wanted, and what kind of life do I really want? I would let my mind wander at different times and I’d let myself think, what if it really could be different, what if I could have that life? After all, there are other people who live the life of their dreams, why couldn’t I be one of them? So started my journey into my MLM business, I started to dream again!
How about YOU?
I think the older and busier we get, we accept things as they seem to be and just deal with them. I know I did! But it doesn’t have to be that way. The power is in your mind, your thoughts! Your mind is so powerful, and if you pay a little bit of attention to your thoughts and dreams you can really have what you want!
So, here’s my question to you…Can you imagine what your life would be like if you were living the life of you dreams? What do you want? What would you do? Can a MLM business really help reach my dreams? Are you letting life happen to you, or do you want to make your life happen? Do you want to feel like you did when you were a kid again and your whole life was ahead of you? If you answered yes to these questions, then I challenge you! Start dreaming again! It’s all up to you! You don’t have to let me know what your dreams are, but I’d love to hear them!
MLM is the Answer to your DREAMS!
Yes, that’s right! But you have to know a few things first! If you’re looking for the answers in a MLM business, we can help. Just download this free MLM ebook and start dreaming again!
May all your dreams come true!

MLM Training – How to spot good MLM training
A lot of folks in Network Marketing are looking for MLM training that will take them to the next level. Those who are hungry for success fall easy prey to marketing scams.
Please beware of MLM training that rip you off by charging high fees, promise you the world with fake guarantees and lead with hype.
How to spot a good MLM training program
Network Marketing is a relationship business, a people business. The first thing to look for in a good program is one that teaches people skills.
There are four basic personalities in the world. Each one of these personalities accepts communication differently. The quicker you can communicate with the way they receive information, the quicker you will be able to connect with them and build the ‘know, like and trust relationship.’
Along with understand their personality it is vital important to stop the chat inside your head and develop real listening skills. Look for a program that includes personal growth.
So now that you have gotten the relationship part down, search for a MLM training program that includes lead generation. In network marketing you will always want to keep your funnel full and build your own spider web. Therefore, search for a system that will teach how to generate your own leads. These leads are going to more responsive to what you have to offer. This way you will not have to call 100 leads a day to get one measly response.
Marketing skills is another important training aspect in MLM. A good MLM training program will teach you about attractive headlines that get results. In today’s world, it is paramount to understand the internet. By using this technology you can reach thousands and thousands of folks.
There is not one magical thing that will lead to you to success in MLM. It is a combination of skills, belief, persistence and hard work. For an example, when you bake a cake….it is not the flour or the eggs or the sugar that makes it taste so good. Rather it is combination of ingredients and hard work.
I recommend joining mentoring-for-free to get educated about MLM. We offer free MLM training to anyone in any company. You do not want to end up prey to network marketing scams.
Get educated!

Network Marketing Success - Color Technology
For your network marketing success, you need to understand some basics about human beings. Remember network marketing is not a sales business, it is a relationship business. Unfortunately, most network marketing companies training fail to teach those basics, and they leave their distributors struggling.
*First, you must understand yourself, and your patterns of thinking.
*Second, for network marketing prospecting success, especially long distance, you must be able to spot your prospect pattern of thinking and find his ‘hot buttons.’
*Third, you must understand that your prospects patterns of thinking may be completely different than yours.
Your network marketing success depends on understanding the four major personality types. You need to speak your prospect language and not yours. You can discover your prospect personality by listening and asking the right questions.
What turns you on may be turning your prospect off! Stop doing that…
For example, let’s talk about the ‘blues’
They make 15% of the population, they are the open and direct.
They talk too much, they volunteer more information than what you ask for.
They like to have fun, they see the big picture, and they don’t like details and numbers.
They have difficulty focusing on one task, you may think they have a ADHD.
There are more ‘blues’ in network marketing than any other personalities.
If you are a ‘blue’, you need to learn to shut your mouth, stop interrupting your prospect, you must learn to listen, and you must learn to focus on your tasks.
When you sponsor a ‘blue’, you need to teach him how to listen and how to focus in order to succeed in network marketing.
When you prospect a ‘blue’, let him talk, tell him about the trip you won and the fun you had with your network marketing team. Do not give him details.
Make sure you follow-up closely with him. Send him short and sweet E-mails.
If you dare to send him long detailed E-mails or a boring long detailed presentation, he will block your E-mail, he will make sure he screens his phone calls.
Try sending me a long E-mail, and your E-mails are in my junk file next time. Oops, you know what color I am.
If this scenario seems familiar to you
, now you know why. Join us to learn how to spot your prospect personality in two minutes with the best network marketing success training.
To your Success,

Network Marketing Tips - Color Technology
Using color technology in Network Marketing can help you to develop a relationship with your prospect quickly. In this series of Network Marketing Tips I will talk about the YELLOW's.
People fall asleep when we say “phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholy and choleric”. But we understand colors. So a Phlegmatic personality is yellow, Sanguine is blue, Melancholy is green and Choleric is red.
Network Marketing is relationship business.
Doesn’t it make sense to know people?
Would it great to spot a person's personality within 2 minutes?
With a little practice you can!
“The YELLOW's” Who are they?
They are the introvert, shy relaxed person who is content and kind. They are peaceful, gentle, friendly and are a good listeners. They live a consistent life, care about people and are supportive of others. Because of their calm, easy going and low key personality they can function quite well in a hostile social setting. Nothing “ruffles their feathers.” They are calm, cool and collected. Yellows make up 35% of population. They are nurtures and give from their heart. They don’t have time for themselves, because they give to everybody!
How to talk to a Yellow
Become a yellow. Slow the pace. Contain your excitement. Lower the volume. Yellow see excitement as hype, you trying to sell them. Don’t tell a Yellow about making $10,000 a month, because they’ll turn right off. Yellows do not want to be sold. They don’t like pushy, aggressive salespeople. Instead, visit with them. Skip the business. Talk about their family, their kids, their vacation. The yellow are slow in making decisions and perhaps overcautious in minor matters.
Why you want Yellows in Network marketing.
Yellows have built some of the largest organizations on network marketing…WHEN they have the belief they can do it. Yellows are competent and steady. The have administrative ability and work well under pressure. They strive for peace and avoid conflict. They are easy to get along with and have many friends and are pleasant and enjoyable to be around.
Motto: Let’s be FRIENDS!
