MLM Residual Income - Full Circle with Duplication

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,

MLM Residual Income - Happy Tax Day

If you have a business you operate from home then you probably know the secret to yesterday's Happy Tax Day.

Forgive me if I celebrate a day that is painful to so many. You're probably wondering: is she nuts?

Part. of operating a business from home is - ready? - T A X S A V I N G S.

I'll never be without a home-based business.

Well, I get to deduct the space in my home that I use as an office, I get to deduct my business miles, and with a sign or two on my car, they're all business miles. Anything I purchase on autoship is considered advertising, therefore deductible. Business supplies, business travel, postage - well, you get the idea - it all helps reduce my income taxes. Of course, I keep track in case the IRS ever wants to check, which they did, once.

I save all my receipts and used to just put them in ziplock baggie and envelopes. Now I use Neat Receipts and scan them in. I keep a record of the online stuff, well, online, but backed up.

I've learned from my accountant what I need to account for and what is allowable.

I also have changed my withholding exemptions so that I bring home more pay from my job. That is an instant pay raise.

Please don't take my word for this - check with an accountant. But it must be an accountant who specialized in mlm taxes. Not all accountants know the ins-and-outs of mlm tax rul

One accountant, a friend of mine, was absolutely sure I could not show a loss for more than 3 years and still count it as a business. I remember being in the car in the back seat on the way to a play. My friend was in the front seat just in front of me. I recall her tossing her head and shrugging her shoulders and telling me "good luck".

It was like I was slapped and made to feel stupid and wrong.

If she was my accountant and I found out later she was wrong, which she is, I'd be furious and that may well end the friendship.

Be careful who you choose as a tax adviser!

It could cost you thousands or dollars - or save them!

My accountant happens to be in Tennessee and I mail, fax, and email stuff to her, but I have heard from other accountants that mine is exactly right. By the way, if you ever want to speak with mine, let me know. Edie's awesome.

Your accountant doesn't have to be local to you. A lot of people have accountants in places far from them.

Anyway, hope your Tax Day was as happy as mine.

Wishing you mlm residual income and happy tax day in the future,

MLM Residual Income Success Thought for the Day


I could not, at any age, be content to take my place
by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived.
Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason,
turn his back on life.

Do You Know How to Coach Someone for MLM Residual Income Success?

Do you know how to coach someone for mlm residual income success?

Coaching someone is done by permission. The coach asks permission from the coachee to be coached. It it not a good idea to assume that someone wants to be coached. If they don't you are wasting your time and possibly damaging the relationship.

This is a relationship business, after all, isn't it?

So asking for permission is the first step.

As a professional health coach, I have learned and, indeed, experienced first hand how non-adversarial permission-based, co-active coaching can be quite effective. Co-active means that the coachee is working with the coach in a give-and-take session, with the coach steering the coachee in a direction the coachee needs or wants to go by asking questions and very careful listening.

The coach does not make assumptions. The coach may make guesses about the coachee put in terms of " I sense that", or "I'm feeling that" and ask the coachee if they are on the right track. Why is this important? Because must of the time the coach is wrong!

So why do we make those guesses? Because it stimulates the coachee to think and either corroborate what the coach is feeling or try to come up with the real issue, or at least explore the issue. If this is set up properly, the coachee does not take offense but knows the coaching is designed to help the coachee help herself.

Why am I talking about this today? I just received an email from someone in my network marketing organization sideline to me who listened to me on the Coaches Corner Mastermind call Saturday night. This call is hosted by Mentoring for Free and is a great, safe place for personal growth. Many of us have aired personal issues of all kinds from not thinking positively to needing to move beyond the hurt from all kinds of abuse. This is a loving place where people from all over the world listen and participate.

This is based on lessons we go over from reading books - right not we're on Step 2 of Joe Vitale's book Spiritual Marketing. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it - you can get it from the internet; just google it.

When we go over the lessons in the mastermind group, we learn more from other's insights that may not be apparent to us. We all come from different experiences.

Anyway, the person who sent the email made an out-and-out attack on me. She made assumptions that were wrong and she didn't bother to ask me questions to clarify. She could have said that she "felt" thus and so from what I said and asked if that was correct? She made some religious assumptions and spoke in an insulting manner. I actually felt as if I were slapped.
She made recommendations for me that have nothing to do with my interests, not having bothered with what I have done in the past. She knows little of my personal journey and implied that I am not working on myself at all. She picked up on partial information and exclaimed "how dare you" regarding a personal event that she absolutely got wrong.

She ended the tirade with "sending it with love".

Well, it didn't feel like love.

Caution - if you try to help your downline like that, i.e, in a non-permissive, judgemental way, you not only ruin the relationship, you probably nuke it.

The judgement generally has more to do with the person pronouncing it than the one receiving it.

If anyone needs to learn how to coach someone for network marketing success, please let me know. If I have enough people interested I'd be happy to hold a free teleclass.

Wishing you the knowledge on how to coach someone for mlm residual income success,
