MLM Residual Income

My mother is not in network marketing, has nothing to do with mlm residual income or lead generation. However, she fits into the "Full Circle" category.

How do I mean?

My late maternal grandmother Irene, mom's mother, may she rest in peace, used to have a braille machine and transcribed books into braille for the folks with vision impairement.

My mother, now in her 80's (she doesn't want me to say exactly - can you relate?) recently had hip replacement surgery on her right leg. Since she couldn't get out and drive herself till last week she spent time translating a book into an audio on tape for folks with visual impairment. She has a cousin who just lives on those audio books.

Anyway, what we're seeing here is duplication of my grandmother's contribution to society. Only the technology has changed. Mom never learned braille, but she can read and talk just fine. So much of her life has been totally different than my grandmother's, but there has been full circle with this particular service. Can my mother teach others how to read and create new audio book tapes? Certainly.

I'm really proud of my grandmother and my mother for lots of reasons. This duplication put me in mind of network marketing. Success comes from duplication. You want to do the work right one time and keep getting paid for that, and be able to teach others to do the same.

The system has to be one that you can plug anyone into and that person can be successful. People are not duplicatable, but systems are. Of course, it helps if the system has a proven track record of success. And it is mandatory that the system is working today. And that you can do it, and show others how to use it.

I'm sure that braille books are being printed, or rather, punched all the time. But there are so many people today who need the audio versions who are visually impaired due to age-related issues and never learned, nor will learn braille. So, plugging people into creating audio books is current and duplicatable. And they can be successful doing it and feel good about doing a wonderful service.

Wishing you mlm residual income success by coming full circle with duplication,

"Be a Mentor with a Servant's Heart

I don't know why I should be surprised that so many people still do not read their company's Policies and Procedures for mlm residual income success. I know better, now, but did not pay attention to them when I was with my former network marketing company.

They are your contract for how to do the business with the company. Would you purchase a house without reading the mortgage contract? A car without reading the lease agreement?

Millions, billions of dollars are spent in the network marketing, mlm industry. This is not play, folks, it's serious business. It is, after all, network marketing. Yet, most network marketing, most mlm players treat it as play. They join people who also haven't read the P & P's with wide-eyed wonder. They go into debt, sometimes in a small way, sometimes in a huge way, without so much as a "how does this really work".

The big mlm companies are very slick at creating the vision of the dream. Usually they do not have a workable plan or system an average, part-time networker can plug into and be successful with. Usually only the full-time, aggressive personalities actually succeed. They create the illusion that if they can succeed, anyone can. After all, they are no smarter than you.

The numbers of people who fail and go into debt or just quit tell otherwise. Many people believe in mlm recurring income success but cannot find a company and plan that they can work and have that success. How do you tell if a company is a good one to try? For a chance a network marketing success, read the Policies and Procedures. Do they say you have to have ongoing activities - run away. Do they say they can terminate you at any time for any reason or for no reason, or, the new one, for cause? Run as fast as you can - you'll never maintain residual, recurring income, no matter how hard or long you work if you want to actually retire.

Do you have a Policies and Procedures you cannot understand? Let me know and I'll help you decipher it. Do not try to interpret them - they say what they say, written by lawyers for the protection of the company. I'd be glad to help you with any P & P's you have.

If you cannot find them or they're not available till you join - run, run, run.

Are there any good companies out there? Sure. The trick is to find them.

For more education in this area regarding policies and procedures for network marketing success, I invite you to join the Mentoring for Free training calls. Call me or email me for more information.

The price is right - free. You should be able to afford that. You can't afford not to.

Wishing you good policies and procedures for mlm recurring income success,

To have mlm residual income success you need to be in the "now". Are you?

What does that mean?

If you dwell too much on the past, beyond what you need to know as a background for your business, it is impossible to be very successful. If you live in the future too much, you will have the same result.

Nothing happens in the past or the future.

You can use the past as a springboard, you can use the future to hold your vision of what you want it to be.

as a professional health coach, I can tell you the the work, all actions, take place in the "now. Our lives are a continual series of moments. "Now" is where the "doing" is.

When I think about mlm residual income success I think about the culture that a company creates. Some of this is dictated by the Policies an Procedures. Some of it is dictated by the compensation plan. The truth about Arbonne's compensation plan is that it is a stairs-step-breakaway plan.

What does that mean? When Arbonne shows the different levels of achievement and position status, it looks like a stairway. You qualifiy by producing so much in sales, whether you purchase it yourself or other people do. When you reach a certain volume in a certain time period, you can advance to the next management level. It's actually more complicated than that, but the gist is there.

The breakaway comes if someone you sponsor builds faster than you and they pass your level. In that case, you lose much of or most of the volume they have created and your check drops. Ergo, unless you are building as fast or faster than they are, you lose out, you don't get paid on everything.

What culture does this create? Well, a distributor who is passed by will either work harder, or tend to not help their recruits as hard, or will look for another company, or just quit the business.

Network marketing is an awesome business and creates mlm residual income, but the truth is that a majority of the people are average part-time networkers who never make any money. The truth is that most of the people who sign up with Arbonne never make any money. They are just wholesale buyers and join to get the discount. Arbonne is great at weaving the dream of unlimited income, but the truth is, the vast majority of average part-time networkers will never have that dream realized with Arbonne.

Arbonne has great training and my experience was with the company that I really needed to change who I was. Arbonne says you have to work very hard. Well, that is correct. It is, after all, network marketing and not netplay marketing. But average part-time networkers never have a chance. The compensation plan is too difficult to qualify for much if any money. And I know a lot of people, besides myself, who bought the next position and believed if we just got there the rest will follow.

What follows is debt.

The truth about Arbonne is that the products are great. It is a great company. But there are other companies where it is easier to earn that few hundred dollars a month that can be the difference between bankruptcy and no bankruptcy. By the same token, it would be easier to earn a legacy income where you can retire and live the life you always dreamed of.

I recall that I often heard at meetings/events that Arbonne International has the best compensation plan. I believed that. The truth is that it doesn't. I learned through Mentoring for Free how to figure that out.

Remember, if you cannot make it with Arbonne, there is nothing wrong with you. It is not your fault. You need to make a distinction between the products and the business.

In order to gain the skills to determine if a company is right for you, or even right for anyone, I invite you to dial into the Mentoring for Free calls. The price is right for everybody - free.

What's the catch? There isn't one. All of us at Mentoring for Free were looking for help. We received it and now want to help others. If there is a catch, it's that helping other people makes us feel great.

Wishing you network marketing success via a culture of truth,

MLM Residual Income success depends on knowing your company's plan and how to work it.

If your company changes the compensation plan to make it harder for you or pay you less, if they institute more restrictions beyond the usual due diligence, wake up and smell the roses.

I wanted to go into the concept of DENIAL. I talk to a lot of people in denial about their company.

"They won't change it again". "It's for the good of all of us". "I just have to go along with it".

As a professional health coach, I deal with denial. In my profession we call it "pre-contemplation". This is where the person does not know or denies he has a problem. Until a glimmer occurs (if ever) that there is a problem with whatever the issue is, no change for the better can even begin.

I would spend some time "raising the consciousness" of the problem. Only then can you learn about the problem (contemplation), take steps to prepare to do something (preparation), and then do something (take action).

My purpose is to raise your consciousness and get you out of denial before you put too much of your time and money and effort into a company and comtemplation plan that is not, cannot, and will not work for your long term success.

On one of our team calls we had a gentleman tell us that when he learned about the 5 Pillars to Success information he was angry. Angry because his company was not a 5-Pillars company. It was missing Pillar 1 - Company Management Experience with Integrity. He said he did not want to admit that he had been wrong in his choice.

A few months later he came back to Mentoring for Free phone call trainings. He had come out of denial and decided to do something positive for him. He changed to a 5-Pillars company.

Let this health coach help you with the health of your network marketing business outlook.

Please join us for the Mentoring for Free trainings. They're free. What do you have to lose - except your denial. Contact me for more information or just download the free e-book Success in 10 Steps.

Wishing you mlm residual income success by getting rid of denial,

MLM Residual Income Success for most average part-time networkers very much depends on the company’s compensation plan. Most of us are in the 95% of network marketers who are part-time in the business and about 5% do it full time. Most mlm money goes to the top 5% of the earners and not to the 95%. So as a part-timer, what do you think you’re worth? Are you frustrated by not being paid enough?

If you are among the people, which most of us are, who do it part-time, how much time do you have, how hard do you want to work, and how much are you willing to spend to earn some extra money. Remember what you actually earn is not the discount, and is not just the checks you receive.

You earn what you receive minus your expenses. Are you in the plus column or the minus column?

It would be helpful to know on average what percent you are paid and then what you actually clear. In my company the average payout on the products sold is 50%. We are not including bonuses because I’m interested in walk-away-residual income. (With the bonuses it can go as high as 89%)

By the way, when you compare product payouts, use the retail prices, not the discounted or wholesale prices. In my company everyone buys at retail.

Another great way of knowing how you get paid is approximately how many people do you need in your organization to make an extra $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, etc. each month for residual or recurring income.

In other words, how many people does it take for you to build it once and then walk away while you collect the residual income if you wanted or needed to do so?

For example, in my company it takes about 25 people ordering regularly to earn about $500 a month. For about $10,000 a month it takes a maximum of 400 people either in your organization or ordering regularly. You don’t have to find them all yourself, either.

If you’re not with a company that pays you what you’re worth, that does not pay the average part-time networker, I invite you to tune into the Mentoring For Free Training.

Wishing you mlm residual income success by avoiding the frustration of not being paid what you’re worth,
