286: What's More Important, Marketing or Sales?

Are you making this HUGE mistake in your network marketing business? I see it all the time. So many people in this profession spend a majority of time on marketing (social media) strategies and skills, without ever learning how to effectively sell. But there’s a big problem with this approach. You’re focusing too much on attraction marketing and it will leave you running on a treadmill or to a dead end in your business. There is a skill you’re missing that is absolutely critical to your chances ...

285: The 4 Biggest Lies We’re Told in Network Marketing

I didn’t want to have to be the one to tell you this, but… Most of what you’ve been taught about success is holding you back in your network marketing business. Whether you're in your first year of network marketing or you’ve been around the block a few times, you’ve been bombarded with ways to make your business successful. Uplines, mentors, and people on social media have been feeding you strategies on how to reach time and financial freedom. However, for many of these people, the pursuit of S...

284: Stop Saying You Don't Have Enough Time

When you think about the results you’re seeing in your network marketing business, do you consistently wish they were better? And when you think about WHY your results aren’t where you’d like them to be, do you consistently think, “Well, it’s just that I don’t have enough TIME to build my business.” It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking if we DO MORE, GIVE MORE…then we can be successful. It is absolutely necessary for you to break through a very common excuse about “not having enough ti...

Learn three things to say when people tell you network marketing is ‘a scam’…. Today I want to address the objection almost every single network marketing HATER will give you when they try to trash our industry... How can you call something a ‘legitimate opportunity’ when 9 out of 10 people fail (aka never make any money)?

281: The Difference Between Success and Achievement

What is your definition of success? A lot of people believe that achievement and success are one and the same. It’s the reason why most of us pursue achievement – working really hard, grinding, sacrificing, and hustling just to hit goals. We think that these achievements are going to make us more worthy and adequate. However, as we achieve more (creating success from a place of scarcity and fear), we feel worse about ourselves. Imposter syndrome kicks in, red light stories keeps on driving in ou...

280: Focus on Progress Over Perfection

What matters most to you – PROGRESS or PERFECTION? Let’s say at the beginning of the month you have a goal, and in the process of taking action and moving towards achieving that goal, you are growing, transforming, and building confidence in yourself. However, as you reach the end of the month, you fall short of hitting the goal. And that horrible voice begins racing through your head – ‘I’m a FAILURE.’ You feel like a failure because you’re comparing your reality to where you wanted to be at th...

279: How to Save Yourself 5.5 Hours Every Single Week

Are you spending ALL of your precious time working with your team members? And there’s very little progress to show for it at the end of the month? This is one of the traps that accidental leaders fall into when building their businesses – spending your precious and limited time in ways that do not move your business forward. Meaning the business doesn’t grow. However, your frustration and stress does. Let's say you have 6 team members, and you spend an hour with each person – that’s 6 hours a w...

278: Are Your Running Your Business Like the Dollar Store?

Have you trained a new team member, just to see them not ever taking any action? Frustrating, right?! You’ve recruited somebody, spent a lot of hours training and coaching them. But at the end of the day, they were never willing and really serious to do the work (despite everything they’ve said to you). And then we find ourselves “in love with their potential.” We hold on to what they could or might possibly do for WAY too long, and in the end, it just brings pain and suffering. Here's what I wa...

277: Why Starting Small is So Important for Success

Did you know that starting small is THE KEY to sustainable success in your business? If you’re like 75% of the world’s population (and like me!), you started the year with some type of goal or New Year’s Resolution – a fitness goal, rank advancement, business growth, etc. And to meet these goals, we’re going to take all kinds of ‘massive action’ to achieve them, because most of us believe that doing more is the key to success. However, the problem is that we lose steam because we realize we're n...

276: Why RIGHT NOW is the Greatest Time in History for NWM

Did you know that 75 million people quit jobs in 2021? This mass exodus is being called ‘The Great Resignation’ or ‘The Big Quit.’ More people than ever before are questioning their jobs and careers and asking themselves if they’re really happy doing what they’re doing and what would make them happier. The pandemic was a really horrible experience, but it compelled us to re-evaluate our work-life priorities and identify what’s most important to us all. According to a recent Forbes article, the t...

275: A Radically Different Way to Think about Leadership

What if the ultimate goal for our business is to become INSIGNIFICANT within it? I was in a network marketing company that celebrated rank advancements and sales by putting you in front of a large room full of people. The spotlight was such a big deal. It was the goal. It was coveted by everybody so much that it became even more valuable than money. And so, the first time I gave an actual presentation, I felt ecstatic about it. I thought ‘This is what leadership is.’ However, a powerful conversa...

274: Are You Taking Growth Oriented Actions (GOA's)?

What’s more important in your business – RESULTS or GROWTH? We hear it over and over inside the network marketing industry… That the secret to success is focusing on the income producing activities (IPA’s) of your business. IPA’s are the front-end activities that we do in the business to create leads - activities like prospecting, creating content on social media, giving presentations, sharing your products with people, etc. However, when we take action, we also get extremely focused on the resu...

273: How to Prospect Without Feeling Like a Salesperson

Are you worried about sounding (and feeling!) like a salesperson when talking to prospects? And is that fear affecting your results? This is one of THE biggest concerns we, as network marketers, have. Honestly, it’s one of the reasons so many people avoid our industry and profession! Sounding like a salesperson and being concerned only about ‘the sale’ or ‘the new recruit’ is a major turnoff to people joining your team! If you are coming off as a bit ‘salesy,’ it might be because you’re building...

Did you know that your business and exercising have a lot in common? After all the holiday festivities, maybe you’ve stepped up your workout regimen. And if so, you know that one concept that is extremely vital in exercise is FORM. In fact, it is way more important than the intensity, frequency, or weight that you can lift. However, what’s fascinating is that the same thing applies to our businesses. We start off the year by taking massive action. We do more, more, and more… more presentations, ...

Happy New Year! It’s a fresh start - a new beginning. I believe most of us have already set our goals for 2022. And for so many of you, that probably includes a rank up in your company. So right now, you’re deep into thinking about the tactics, strategies, and actions to achieve that next rank. But here’s the shift you must make first: the change in your mindset will ALWAYS come before the actual rank.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Typically, this time of the year we take a little bit of time to reflect, plan, and spend time with loved ones so that we can start the new year rested, refreshed, and ready to go. I also recognize that there are so many of us who still want to do a few things inside our business to keep the momentum moving forward. However, here is my advice for you during this time of the year: Honor people where they are at in their own businesses and accept the...

I see two common mistakes why leaders struggle in creating independent leaders on their team. #1 – They let go of leaders way too early. #2 – They do everything for their new team members for way too long We, as leaders, are either asking too much of people too early when they are not 100% equipped to do it on their own…and, as a result, they struggle and get stuck in their business instead of becoming effective Or, because we want everything to be perfect, we do too much for our new team member...

266: How Hard Should You Push Your New Recruits?

What is the #1 missed opportunity I see leaders make while onboarding new team members? I see it all the time. You have a new team member. You give them an actionable assignment. They make commitments to do it. And then a week goes by and NOTHING happens. However, instead of calling that team member out, you make it totally OKAY because you’re afraid of pushing them away. And so the same pattern continues and eventually that team member fades away. It’s a scenario that we’ve ALL experienced. How...

It’s December! Also known as the PERFECT month to think about ALL the things you want to accomplish in 2022! A new year means a fresh start! And I’m betting that, as a network marketer, one of the things at the TOP of your list is ranking up with your company...maybe even multiple times before 2022 is through. But, perhaps that’s been your goal all along in 2021….and, for whatever reason, it hasn’t happened as you’d hoped. You're doing all the things, even working the extra hours, but for whatev...
