My kids aren’t here this week, so I turned on the tv this morning and watched national news for the first time in months. Yike. It was mostly background noise for a bit, then I heard a story about a new website that is out there. I’m not giving the name, because I don’t want anyone going [...]

Hi Folks. I hope you have a very peace filled Easter weekend.  Easter/Ostara/Spring, which ever you prefer to call it, is about  re-birth. Rebirth of a savior, the Sun God, the Earth, opportunities in life, renewal of hope and so on. It’s a very beautiful time, when we let out a long soft sigh, knowing warm [...]

I talk a lot about MLM, Network Marketing, Transformation, and all sorts of other goodies on this blog. Guess that makes sense, huh? I mean, MLM and NM IS about transforming from who you are, to who you can truly be in all your glory. But there are times when we are just beat down. Lots of bad [...]

Don’t tell me you don’t say them anymore? Hmmm, well, class, let’s get to it then. It’s probably gonna be a different version than what you learned at such a tender young age. Now that I think about it. I’m going to teach my children this version of the ABC’s. Keep on lovin’ each other and keep [...]

So, let’s really find out why you joined your current MLM company. It’s anonymous, so if your mom really did tell you which company to sign with, it’s ok, go ahead and let us know. We won’t know that it’s you. Then, if you want to expand on your answer, scroll below, hit the comment button, and [...]

I was recalling today with network marketing rock star,  Patty Gale ,  about what it was like working in corporate America. I’m sure it’s still the same in todays workforce (for those still employed), but I’ve been out of that workforce for almost 10 years, so things may have changed. And people in hell now get ice water. Anyhoo, we were [...]

I went out with my friend, a respected professional in the area, the other day, for lunch at a nice restaurant. When the server delivered our drinks to us I asked, ‘What’s your name?” “Cheryl”, She said with a smile. “Thank you, Cheryl”. I said. My friend looked at me, ‘That was nice that you asked her name. Is it [...]

As mentioned in my last post, selling is the backbone of our industry. No one makes money until something is sold, whether it’s a product line or services. One of the big keys to success with any kind of business is the word of mouth referral service we all have access to. If we take care of [...]

For most MLM companies, selling product of some sort is the backbone of revenue, and most distributors have a tendency straight out of what it looks like in their catalog or website. Some companies are getting smart and are now grouping products that are designed to be sold together. This increases sales, and exposes the customer to different [...]

I use the word dare because it’s long. It’s almost two hours. But DANG. It’s entertaining, informative, and could transform the way you think, approach people, and do business. So there’s that. The other reason I say dare, is because sometimes it takes a dare in order for people to do something. This is some heady, life [...]

This is kind of a rant, so bear with me, because I’m sure I’m not the only one who is thinking this. I haven’t been on Facebook or Twitter for even a year. For the most part, I have had some of the most amazing connections occur, some of the most incredible conversations, and some great business [...]

“Just pick up that phone!” “Get to ALL the conventions that you possibly can!” “Here’s all you need to do” Heard those in your NM career?  Wise words, to be sure. Have you told your downline things like this? Great. The real question is, are you walking your talk? Are you picking up that phone and making calls? Are you getting to [...]

Yet again, my kid’s shows provide for a life lesson. This time, the kids and I were watching Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler. My friend had let us borrow it and said it was a cute kiddie film, and it was, but I found a really good life lesson in it as well. The basic story of [...]

Here’s the thing with the ‘close’. Everyone has a tendency to get freaked out about it. The common belief that the close is this manipulated, controlling, and directed procedure is enough to not ask for the business. It is true that in the past that is how the close of the sale happened. However, if you have [...]

This has been a hot topic lately, which is good, because it is where the action is happening. It’s something that every sales person must learn and must learn as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, most, and this included me for a long while, learn everything but the close. We find hot prospects, people looking to create extra income [...]

Ok, well, I don’t know if it’s the ONLY way to learn, but it’s something that works best for me. I remember reading years ago, and every year since, John Fogg’s memorable, ‘The Greatest Networker In The World.’ Hands down one of my favorite reads of all time. Engaging, entertaining, and offers the ability to teach lessons. Today, I [...]

How many times have you heard the saying, ‘think outside the box’?  Countless, right? Ya, me too. But what exactly IS thinking outside the box?  How does it get done? How is it some people can do it so easily and it’s so hard for others? I’ll tell you, it has taken me years to learn how to do [...]

I have a new client who is in one of the best MLM companies out there. I mean, if anyone has a system in place, it’s them. She told me her upline is local and they are wonderfully special people. And I have no doubt they are. She’s been given the system, but is still contacting me for [...]

So you’ve got everything going in order to be an MLM rockstar. You’ve watched the amazing videos by some of the best trainers, you’ve memorized the scripts, you’re using the products and so on. You have your business cards with you at all times and your opportunity CD, and whatever else you need in order to [...]
