"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,

Are you with a company whose products you just love, but you are trying to make money and just can't? You may just have to, in order to obtain mlm residual income, grieve and let go.

What do I mean by that?

If you have the big dream, but are unable to make any headway towards it, this may not be your fault.

Take a look at your company's compensation plan, systems to succeed, policies and procedures. They may be extra difficult for you to do, perhaps they are not in alignment with your values, your personality.

Does your upline teach and mentor you? Does the company support you? Does it even make sense to you?

If you can't do it, you can't do it.

Why bang your head against the wall or even go into debt?

I know that it's hard to admit that one company is not for you. You may feel disloyal. It's okay to use the products and move elsewhere for the business opportunity. Of course, you'll have to check the policies and procedures to see if there are any restrictions, which in themselves could be a reason for lack of success.

If you are willing to work hard, it's not your fault.

Plug into Mentoring for Free to learn how to evaluate companies so that you won't run into this problem ever again.

I wish you mlm residual income - grieve, and let go.

Take a tour

For network marketing success many companies and uplines host meetings and phone calls for motivation purposes that are designed to get their affiliates into action. Does that really work? And, what's the difference between motivation and empowerment?

Motivation is an external thing. This is the "rah, rah" mentality reminiscent of a revival-style meeting, with upbeat, usually loud music, bright colors, and everybody on stage or giving testimonials is successful. There's lots of stimulation. Most people are really "up" at the meeting or phone call except for the ones who are thinking "I can't do that!"

Have you ever been on the motivation roller coaster? I have many times, so I can tell you from experience that's when I left the meeting or call call all fired up, all pumped up, and when youI got home or off the callI had that deflated feeling. "I can't do that." "What was I thinking!"

Have you ever had the experience that the motivation just doesn't get all the way home with you? That's the external. It doesn't change you, it doesn't make you feel you can "do it". It often, if not usually, doesn't last. It doesn't empower you.

So just what is empowerment?

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary has 3 entries for "empower".
1) To give official authority or legal power to (act on someone's behalf)
2) ENABLE
3) To promote the self-actualization or influence, i.e. women's movement has been inspiring and empowering women.

Well, from that I would surmise that in that last definition the gist would be empowering women to do or be something.

I like the word "empower" and the meaning enable. It implies that the power comes from the inside. It is quieter and more stable, long-lasting and stronger than motivation. It doesn't flame out.

Since empowerment is internal, inside you, inside me, it can be woven into our beings. It can be acquired, inspired, nurtured, coached.

In fact, as a professional health coach, I appreciate how empowering people allows them to break through some of the blocks they have to improving their health.

How is that done? It's through empowering messenging - it's how we talk to the people we coach. Can that translate to network marketing coaching? Absolutely.

What kind of a message could you say? Without a complete coaching here, you could say something like, "You are a sensitive person who helps people". "I see how committed you are to reach your goal".

Do you want more information about messenging? Just let me know.

Wishing you networkmarketing success through using empowerment rather than motivation,

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.

Leave any blame in the past and don't carry it with you. Leave the vision in the future, only take the steps now to journey towards the future. We never really get there. It is just a guiding beacon and keeps evolving. The "now" is the journey. Enjoy the journey for mlm residual income success.

There's a saying that "now" is a gift - that's why they call it the "present".

Do you have trouble staying in the present? Join us at Mentoring for Free for the Coaches Corner Mastermind call. This is a safe, generic place for personal growth. We've been working on understand being in the "now".

Feel free to contact me for the times and phone numbers for Mentoring for Free calls. The price is right - free.

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,

What is mlm residual income success to you? Is it to build the business and then be able to stop and go to the beach? Is to be able to will it to your children and your children's children so that they can keep collecting the residual income check?

This is the promise, the dream of mlm residual income!

This is the vision the mlm companies weave for us.

We've spoken before about reading your policies and procedures.

Those of you with Arbonne International who think you can have walk away residual income, think again. The frustration I see is found in section 3.2.1 Support

3.2.1. SupportIndependent Consultants must have ongoing contact and communication with the Consultants in their downline organizations. Examples of such contact and communication may include, but are not limited to: newsletters, written correspondence, personal meetings, telephone contact, voice mail, electronic mail and the accompaniment of downline Consultants to Arbonne meetings, training sessions and other functions.

The above paragraph was cut and pasted from the Arbonne document June 26, 2006.

I highlighted the word "ongoing" in red so that you would not miss it.

"Ongoing" means that you cannot stop. If you stop the company can stop your check. You cannot retire. So why would you want to build the business with this company?

And you cannot let people "interpret" what this means. It is what it is. It says what is says. The attorneys wrote it.

The attorneys work for the company Arbonne International and this language is not in the interest of the distributor.

I've talked to people about this and they are in denial about the consequences of this language. They have loyalty to Arbonne. I understand that. I did, too. I found it emotionally difficult to admit that I had to build somewhere else. That's okay. The people who "get" it will be better off. The others may take some time to "get" it. We all hate to be wrong, don't we?

Don't get me wrong, Arbonne is a great company and has great products. I use some of them.

I could not do the business. Most of the Arbonne consultants I know also are not successful doing the business with this company.

My recommendation? Be a consultant to get the products at a discount. The prices are high anyway. Do the business with another company. People who are in denial - well, that's their problem.

Do you know what characteristics make up a 5 Pillars Company? I'd be happy to teach you.

I invite you to the Mentoring for Free training calls. Why waste time and money in a company where you cannot stop and keep your check?

Wishing you mlm residual income success though avoiding the "ongoing" trap with Arbonne International and avoiding the eventual frustration caused by denial right now -
