There are so many myths about network marketing and this MLM Training Video hits the nail on the head. Some voice always leads us to believe that we have won the lottery when we join a network marketing business.

Then, as soon as the first few obstacles start to surface, the objections and beliefs that your friends and family told us about network marketing all become true.

“Only the people that get in at the beginning and are at the top make all the money” jumps to mind.

Tim Sales puts this to rest.

Just like his previous MLM training video why people fail at MLM and Jim Rohn’s leadership, this is clear cut advise you can take straight to the bank.

Have you heard the Visionaries make the Millions? Can you visualize where you will be in 2 years from now? No winner has ever won by focusing where they don’t want to be. Are your thoughts clouded with what the media says about the ‘bad’ economy, or is all your energy focused on where you want to be?

Other than focusing on your leadership traits and the Psychology of Motivation,  It’s all about about vision.

Having a vision statement, your emotional purpose for building a successful network marketing business. What are you willing to fight for in your life to ensure that you get where you want to be? Jim Rohn Success strategies are about giving, creating a better life for oneself and others. Health, wealth, personal development and prosperity.

Paint a vivid,colorful, emotional picture two years ahead. Your best life. What makes your heart feel good? Real, concrete, comprehensive. Unlimited by money, time and other resources. See yourself in the picture so the subconscious helps to make it happen. Picture this all happening to you right now.

Clear vision is about clarity. Knowing exactly what you want, how you will ‘feel’ when you have it (emotional appeal or payoff) and knowing exactly when you will have it.

Watch Jim Rohn’s success principles in action in this phenomenal MLM training video.

With our network marketing blog taking great shape, BlogSuccess with its helping community have really kept us on track and we are almost ready to go full steam ahead with their extreme 60 day marketing plan.

On day one, Jack Humphrey discusses 10 core social marketing sites to focus on for exceptional traffic.

Here are 10 pros of social networking sites with excellent resources attached!

1. Facebook

The granddaddy of them all. According to Alexa rankings, Facebook is the 5th most popluar site in the world today. Facebook is the perfect place to develop relationships online and now boast with more than a 100 million users online. Unfortunately, to many marketers have adopted their tacky ‘MySpace Mentality’ in Facebook by pasting endless links on your profile wall. This makes anyone cringe. Lots of potential for marketing, if you are prepared to build relationships first. Best Resource will be Mari Smith, relationship and buzz marketing specialist. You will plenty of golden nuggets on her fan page.

2. Squidoo

There’s been plenty of debate’s whether Seth Godin’s (the king of marketing in my opinion) collection of half a million pages still delivers quality traffic after a not so recent Google Slap. But, like Seth mentions, Google is famous for rewarding pages that are worth while, so if you Squidoo lens provides quality content, Squidoo still Rocks. Check out Rena Klingenberg’s Squidoo Traffic Power lens for great tips.

3. Hubpages

Hubpages are relatively the same as Squidoo. Instead of a lens, you build a hub. Hubs with blatant affiliate promotions will not get approved. Only original, relevant content will cut it. Here is a step by step guide how to build a hubpage which also covers how you can make money with your hubpages.

4. StumbleUpon

This site rocks. Install the ‘stumble’ button on your firefox browser to vote sites a thumbs up or down, or simply bookmark a favorite while doing research on the fly. Here are 50+ Resources for Utilizing StumbleUpon Effectively.

5. Mashable

Mashable is the worlds largest blog to focus on all the web 2.0 and social networking news. Very popular amongst bloggers and social networkers with an influential demographic which increases daily.

6. Digg

Digg is a community-based social news site with a readership who is extremely tech savvy. You can submit your articles, blog posts, videos, pictures, etc and if the community ‘diggs’ it, you get, well, digged. If a link to your content gets submitted to Digg and gets voted for by the community, you can receive hundreds to even thousands of visitors in as little as minutes.

7. Technorati

Simply said, the Google of Blogs. Technorati was founded to help bloggers collect and share information for online global conversation. Technorati currently states it is tracking over 112.8 million blogs. Once you have sufficient content, you need to claim your blog with Technorati. A good idea is to let your friends and others favorite your blog with Technorati.

8. MyBlogLog

The key to global conversation throughout the blogosphere. MyBlogLog enables bloggers to talk amongst each other and learn about their readers by checking out their blogs and active communities. This generally made possible via a widget in the sidebar displaying your most recent visitors to your blog. MyBlogLog enhances your existing presence on the Web and ties it into communities of like-minded readers and bloggers, adding context to the conversations in which you take part.

9. Propeller

Several years back when Netscape.com was acquired by AOL, Netscape wanted to follow in Digg’s footsteps and added social news. So, Propeller was born. Propeller is a social news portal which, like Digg, is controlled by the popularity which is voted for by the community. Make sure your content is newsworthy and original when you submit to Propeller.

10. Mixx

Direct competitor of Digg who is receiving a lot of attention from CNN, who now adds a ‘mixx it’ buttons with all their content. A fun group of diversified personalities consisting of a ex-banker, a blackjack dealer, an ice skater, a self-professed geek and a rabid cricket fan. Be sure to add Mixx for strategic social marketing.

And of course… Twitter!

The list cant be complete without adding Twitter to the portfolio. Twitter’s microblogging 140 character conversations is taking over the web, literally. CoachDeb has created the ultimate guide to Twitter, so if you are still in the Dark about how Twitter works, download the TwitterHandBook. Don’t forget to follow thatMLMbeat on Twitter too!:)

Wellness Network Marketing has really boomed the past decade or so. Tim Sales discussed health and wellness as the fastest emerging trend years ago in his Brilliant Compensation movie.

This was however before web 2.0 and social marketing hit the scene. Has anything changed since then? With so many MLM tools and online network marketing systems to help us with internet network marketing, are physical products phasing out?

Paul Zane Pilzer, world’s leading trend forecaster and author of The Next Millionaire’s and the Wellness Revolution to name a few, shares his prediction and point of view.

What are your thoughts? Do you prefer physical network marketing products over internet network marketing tools which don’t consist of anything tangible?

Watch the movie and you decide.

Please share your thoughts below.

This classic story is excerpted from Denis Waitley’s Psychology of Motivation.

I have a suitcase for you. In that suitcase there is $1 million in cash. The suitcase is sitting in a building that is about an hour’s drive from where you are now.

Here is the deal: All you have to do is get to this building in the next two hours. If you get there before the end of the two hours, I will hand you the suitcase, and you will be a million dollars richer.

There is one catch, however. If you are even one second late, our deal is off, and you will not get a dime. No exceptions! With that in mind, what time would you like to leave?

Most people would respond to that scenario by saying that they would leave right now. Wouldn’t you?

So off you go. You jump into your car and start driving for the building. You are excited and are already starting to plan how you are going to spend your million dollars. Then, suddenly, the traffic comes to a complete stop. You turn on the radio and find that there has been a series of freak accidents between you and the building and there is no way to get there!

Now what would you do? Would you give up and go back home? Or would you get out of your car and walk, run, hire a helicopter, or find some other way of getting to the building on time?

Now let’s suppose for a minute that you are driving to an appointment at your dentist’s office. The traffic again comes to a stop. Amazingly, there have been freak accidents between you and your dentist’s office. What would you do then? Probably give up, go home, and reschedule!

What is the difference between these two situations? It all comes down to why. If the why is big enough; the how is usually not a problem. This compelling why is connected to your personal objectives, mission statement, or magnificent obsessions. It is the basis of your motivational support beam. Truly motivated people are able to identify and tap into the power of a compelling why in everything they do.

Denis Waitley

What a great story to keep in mind when re-evaluating your network marketing why.

“Network Marketing simply doesn’t work. Let’s face it, look at all the statistics. The road leads to ‘failure’. Have you been ‘burnt’ by network marketing? Or even worse, some ‘ network marketing scam artist’ took your money? The people at the top, they make all the money. And hey, I am not a salesman either, so I cannot sell this pyramid scheme stuff.”

Have you ever heard this before? Is it real, or simply glorified excuses to shift the responsibility onto anything but oneself?

One should really ask:

“Were you ‘burnt’ in network marketing, or did you simply not do anything and then blame the company, the compensation plan and the industry? Were you scammed out of your money, or did you simply fail to see the opportunity in what you joined and expected an instant rush of money into your bank account without ever having to lift a finger? Are you a victim of society’s excuses? Have you fallen into the ‘everything is a scam’ trap? Is it always the circumstances and never you?”

It’s much easier to blame the world, the economy, the president, global warming for ‘failure’ in life than simply take responsibility. This movie from Tim Sales hits the nail on the head. It speaks the truth.

What Could Be An Issue?

Supportive types want to get the job done but often have a hard time starting it because they are not sure how so it is best to give them a job where the procedure is very established. Take a look at Mr. Rogers. He’s probably not the guy you’d want running your company but would be excellent as a personal coach for some of the top leaders.

Mr. Rogers would always show up on time and never offend someone. If he did, he’d be the first to apologize.

Room for Improvement

If you are a Supportive type, you could try something new, your own idea. Consider controversy a communication tool that is so important to good human relationships and personal well being.

The Cautious Type

About 20-25% of the 4 personality types are Cautious. If you are one yourself or are dealing with a “Cautious Type” personality, what can you do to improve your overall communication effectiveness? Here are some details about the Cautious type personality to understand first.

What Do Cautious Types Like?

Cautious types need to know exact details, specification, rules and want data. They have lots of questions and want to understand everything as completely as possible. They are often perfectionist with high attention to detail and want to get it right. Just look at Martha Stewart. Who would have known you could mix plate designs for Thanksgiving dinner.

What Could Be An Issue?

Taken to extremes the Cautious type behavior can lead to procrastination. This is because the Caution person wants to have all the information available before making a decision. They don’t like illogical changes and are often difficult to please. Sometimes the cautious person seems cold but they only want what’s best and sometimes that means that your less than perfect solution just isn’t going to make it right for them.

The Cautious type might believe in Murphy’s Law: if something can go wrong it will. Sort of pessimistic and melancholy, the cautious type might also be easily offended, unsociable and critical.

Room for Improvement

Cautious persons can improve by realizing that all the information will never be available and that in the interest of human development judgment should be used when all the facts are unavailable.

Familiarize yourself with and get comfortable with the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, then make your move.

Working With A Cautious Type

It is always best to let people do what they do best. If you have any kind of procedural work to get done, where strict rules need to be followed, hire a Cautious person.

Out of all the 4 personality types the Cautious type people like a serious conversation, don’t want attention to be focused on them, and don’t like loud comments. Inspiring network marketers talking to Cautious prospects need to tone down the conversation so your prospects don’t run.

Knowing how much of each of the 4 personality types make up your personality, better prepares you to understand and communicate with everyone and make progress in your network marketing business. Recognize the traits of others and learn the best ways to communicate with them. Good luck in your self-studies.
