Our Wealth!

As I continue my journey through the wonderful world of Network Marketing I am being exposed to new ideas all the time. Probably one of the most difficult notions to wrap my head around is that Network Marketing is NOT about selling.
What?!!! You’re probably thinking to yourself that I’ve gone off the deep end. But, I have come to believe in this principle just as strongly as I believe that the earth is round. I’ve recently made contact with a Network Marketer who has years of experience, has done everything I’ve heard of and more, has probably made all the mistakes I’ve made, plus a few that haven’t even occurred to me yet.
The core concept is that Network Marketing is all about relationships. Not the products. Not the company. What you REALLY need to be selling is yourself. And if you’re going to be selling yourself, you better make sure that you’re worth the investment.
The most bizarre aspect of this program is that it is free. Really. I’ve been involved in the program for several weeks, and nobody has tried to sell me anything. In fact, I don’t even know what MLM my mentor is involved with. I get the material, dial into the training calls, ask questions, and actually get answers. It is interactive training, so the participants (even the newbies like me) are asked for their opinions.
To be honest, the whole thing is still a little strange to me. I’ve become accustomed to every contact I have with a Network Marketer, especially my uplines in the MLM’s I’m involved with, to be about money. I have to spend more money to make more money. Don’t I want more money? What have I done today to make more money? If I make more money, I’ll be happier!
Now I’m being taught that if I’m happier, I’ll make more money. Makes sense in a weird sort of way.
This is a free mentoring program. There are multiple sessions held throughout the week so that everyone can have the opportunity to participate regardless of their schedule. The calls cover a variety of subjects: how to talk to prospects in a manner that will make them comfortable, how to evaluate compensation plans, lead generation techniques, and various other topics that pertain to life in general:but all applicable to Network Marketing.
The philosophy is that it is not your fault if you’re failing in your MLM. You simply haven’t received any training in the basic skills. The foundation for the training provided addresses the following crucial areas:
The concept that the overwhelming majority of the population is sales resistant, so trying to sell products or services with a lot of hype is going to meet with very limited success. This training concentrates on how to recognize and deal with the four personality types (represented by colors) that you will encounter as you build your business.
MLMer’s do not achieve the income levels they were promised (and often experience outright failure) because they are convinced by others that they need to change their very nature in order to become successful. Most people are uncomfortable with the high pressure sales tactics their companies urge them to use, and will eventually abandon the business. This program will teach aspiring Network Marketers to not only understand themselves, but to understand others and how to deal with them in a way that will help build successful relationships.
Another significant portion of the training teaches you how to evaluate MLM’s for the potential to build a thriving, sustainable business. If you were searching for a traditional job with long term employment and financial security, you would likely be very particular about where you sent your resume. Why not apply that same principle to an MLM company, especially when you will not only be investing your time, but your money as well? The key principle to understand here is that the business model will drive the behavior in the field. Understand the business model before you invest a single dime.
Network Marketing can be a very lucrative business if approached in a logical manner. Learn the basics first, just as you would when starting any new career or business, and you will avoid the emotional and financial disasters that are all too common in this industry.

When the internet first started, few could ever imagine how far reaching it’s effects will be more than a decade down the line. It’s a fact of life now that the internet will continue to change virtually every aspect of our everyday life. As the world’s internet population keeps expanding, so does the opportunities for entrepreneurs and ordinary folk looking to escape the slavery of a nine to five job.

Online wealth building is for everyone. The sheer amount of opportunities presented online enables anybody to start building wealth online. There are just so many areas to explore and regardless of your level of talent, skill or interest, you will find something that suits you. Someone once said that ‘you can turn any passion into profit online’ and this is more true now than ever before. It seems like the biggest problem is not in finding a suitable program, but rather in not getting distracted by all the various options that we get bombarded with. Every single day new opportunities open up and it’s our natural tendency to get in on the action. Online wealth building however relies on focus and having the discipline to not get distracted.

If you are committed to building your wealth online it holds many obvious advantages. The freedom to work on your own clock and answering only to yourself are the main reasons why so many make the shift from the office to the spare room at home. Many online wealth building programs create false illusions that leave many aspiring newbies out in the cold after investing their valuable time and money. The internet is a tough world when it comes to making a living, but then again so is it out there in the ‘real’ world. Don’t expect an easy ride, but don’t be put off either. There are just so many opportunities online that you are bound to find your place sooner rather than later.

I would like to offer you what I consider to be the five laws of online wealth building, that can help you greatly towards creating long term success online. I would encourage you to use these laws to evaluate potential opportunities or just to evaluate your current position.

The Law Of Excellence:
Things tend to move really fast online. It is critical that you commit yourself to excellence and to always keep learning and improving. If you don’t you will most certainly fall behind. Strive for excellence. You can’t keep doing the same things and expect to improve, nor does doing more of what doesn’t work won’t make it work any better.

The Law Of Quality:
I like the term ‘wealth building’ because it implies that it’s not some instantaneous thing. Quality always gets rewarded long term and although some of the ‘get rich quick’ schemes online work, they rarely work long term. There is a big difference between making a quick buck and building wealth. Whatever you create online, strive for quality first as this will ensure sustainability in what you do.

The Law Of Choice:
Wealth is a choice. You’ve probably heard this before, but never really understood it completely. Being wealthy starts with a choice and it’s a choice you have to make daily. The internet is responsible for the largest distribution on wealth in history. The power is shifting from the big corporations to the guy (or girl) in his garage with a single laptop. You can choose to be part of this or to keep doing what you’ve always done.

The Law Of Persistence:
When it comes to online wealth building, for some the learning curve will be greater than for others. Regardless of your skill level you will face many challenges and often consider packing it in. This is where persistence and perseverance comes in. Realize that you will always meet with much difficulty before you succeed - it’s essential for your personal growth and developing to a level of success.

The Law Of Value:
Whatever you do online, be a team player! I cannot overemphasize that enough. Your wealth and success is directly proportional to the amount of value that you add to other people. If you want to be more successful, just think of how you can add more value to other people’s lives.

Financial success is most certainly obtainable for virtually anybody. There is however a big difference between obtainable success and sustainable success. Just think back at the story of The Three Little Pigs - you want to build your ‘house’ from brick and make sure that your success is sustainable long term. After all, who wants to quit their day job only to go back after six months?
