Why Copying and Pasting May be Detrimental to Your Business

If you work online and write blogs, articles or even status updates to your social networking sites, like most of us you probably occasionally copy and paste to save time. But is that a good thing?


I love writing blogs and articles. And I admit, at times I copy and paste information from various sources. However, when I do, I give the credit where due. If I copied the entire article and added my thoughts, I let the reader know which thoughts are mine and which are not. If I am tweeting or adding status updates, when I know the source of a quote, I make it known. If I don’t, I simply state, ‘there is an old saying.’ This indicates I am not the originator.

It is okay to paraphrase a quote without giving credit. But, beware of copying and pasting and passing it off as your own thoughts. Everybody knows that is plagiarism, which is dishonest. And, if people join people they know, like and trust, this could be detrimental to your business.

Another reason copying and pasting someone else’s thoughts could be detrimental is this: You may not be sending the same energy and/or emotions which the author did. While the author may have written his thoughts in a state of positive emotion which is conveyed that way, you may be experiencing anxiety when copying and pasting and that too will be conveyed and you won’t obtain the same successful results.

So, why not think about this: it is okay to sometimes state your own thoughts in your own words. You are brilliant after all.

How Not to Create Multiple Streams of Income

I just read an article by an mlm guru. The guru stated he believed in multiple streams of income because at least four mlm companies had failed him in the past. Did you get that? Four network marketing companies failed him. In fact, he said that the owners of the first company he joined were not the type of people he wanted to be associated. His second company was a start-up company that ran into legal issues after the very first year. He only joined that company because of their proprietary, cutting-edge products. The third company switched from multi-level marketing to direct sales, thus, eliminated the multi-level compensation plan and thereby cutting their commission checks by 90%.

For this reason, he always has more than one network marketing business going so as not to put his eggs in one basket.

His experiences are not unique to network marketers unless they have a crystal ball. Okay, there is no such thing as a crystal ball. Oh really. I beg to differ. The Mentoring For Free Training & Education System is just that. Mentoring For Free teaches you exactly how to know that you know that you know if a network marketing company will fail you. We teach you how to determine if the mlm company owners have integrity (a company that changes from mlm to direct sales does not have integrity.) We teach you why to never join a start up company (too risky as most start-ups never survive past two years). We teach you that having proprietary, cutting-edge products should not be the main reason to join a company. While I agree with him that nothing is ever 100% guaranteed, there is a way to know if you at least have a chance to create residual income in a work at home business that will last for years to come.

These are only a few things we teach at Mentoring For Free.

While I believe in multiple streams income, I don't believe you should have more than one mlm business at a time. If you do, where do you focus. If you do, which product or service do you promote. If you do, will anyone take you seriously? Our heavy-hitter guru feels that all you need to do is use an automated downline builder to generate leads and sell your products and/or enroll your new distributors. Then all you have to do is focus your energy on training your new affiliates after they join you in business. He hasn't realized that network marketing is a relationship business and people generally do business with people they know, like and trust.

What about you? How do you feel about multiple streams of income? As I mentioned, while I believe in multiple streams of income, working more than one network marketing business is not how to create those multiple streams.

Are You Simply a Coach or Are You a Mentor?

I receive tips and training for networks marketers from my mentor, Tom 'Big Al' Schreiter that I thought I'd share with you. The following was taken from The Big Al Report:

Consider these definitions.

To be a coach, you don't have to know how to do what you are coaching. Many coaches simply listen to their distributors and tell the distributors they already know what to do and how to do it. As coaches, they simply hold the distributors accountable for their actions.

These coaches don't have to be good sponsors, good presenters, or good leaders. They simply hold the distributors accountable, and attempt to motivate them into action by talking about their "Why," etc.

To be a mentor, you should already have the skills the distributor seeks to learn. In this case, the distributor does not have certain skills and experiences, and seeks the answers from the mentor. The mentor is not responsible for motivating or holding the distributor accountable. The mentor assumes the distributor already is highly motivated and will put the lessons into action.

To be a mentor, you must first master the skills the distributor seeks. And if you master the skills, the distributor seeks you.

And what if the distributor is not self-motivated?

Well, the distributor won't be seeking you out.

Are you simply a coach that talks a good talk? Or are you a coach that motivates distributors to take action? Are you a mentor that has mastered skills and can pass them on to self-motivated people?

Or, are you simply a lousy sponsor that recruited a distributor and quickly moved on to finding your next new distributor?

Six Steps To Guarantee Success in Network Marketing

When I was first introduced to network marketing I saw it as a viable opportunity for the average person like me to make an above average income. But, I didn't have a clue as to how to generate that income. Not until years later -- not until I found the Mentoring for Free System. Here is what I learned in the meantime. Anyone who has or becomes the following six things can almost guarantee their success in network marketing. The average part-time person can accomplish this in 2 - 10 years - depending on individial effort.

1. Be coachable. Just like any championship team, no matter how great the players are, they need coaching. Coaches help you to improve your strengths. Coaches help you focus.

2. Have a mentor and a team of people helping you. These people need to be accessible. I am a mentor and have a team of mentors helping me. My mentors have mentors. I can provide that to you as well.

3. You must belong to a 5 pillars company.

4. You must have and know how to use your duplicable system – mentoring for free is the system I use. Network marketing is not one person sponsoring 100 people, it is many people sponsoring two or three people each.

5. You must be a student of the industry – we can help teach you what is legit and what isn't; what works and what doesn't. We provide free live and interactive training 10 times weekly. In addition we have archived training calls.

6. You have to practice self-development. We also have live interactive calls each Wednesday where we discuss a chapter of Think & Grow Rich. These calls are life changing. Many limiting beliefs are brought to the surface. The same can happen for you.

Whichever one of the above you need help with, we can help. Most people who participate in Mentoring for Free save themselves years of failure & frustration. But some don’t take the time to read it and waste a lot of time doing things that will never work.

So, make the decision today and save yourself years of failure and frustration tomorrow. Click here to claim your free ebook, Success in 10 Steps. written by my mentor, Michael Dlouhy.

The Laws of Success -- Are You Violating the 10/90 Rule?

What is the 10/90 rule? The rule is simply "the first 10 percent of time that you invest in finding out the underlying laws, principles, rules, methods, and techniques of successful action in any field will save you 90 percent of the time and effort required to achieve your goals in that area." Another way of putting it is this: You have to sharpen the ax before you chop down the tree.

I first learned of this rule from Brian Tracy in his book "The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success." If you have been on a quest for personal development for any length of time, you are probably familiar with Brian Tracy. He is one of the leading authorities on the development of human potential and I have learned a lot from him.

As I mentioned, I learned about the 10/90 rule from him. When I first read about this rule, it made me think about my network marketing career. For many years I attempted to build a network marketing business. And, I hate to, but must admit, I failed miserably. But, after understanding the rule, I know the reason I failed was simply that I took no time (let alone 10%) to find out the underlying laws, principles, rules, methods and techniques of successful action in the network marketing field. Notice, I didn't find out the successful action. I primarily listened to the thoughts, hype and opinions of those who themselves had never taken the time to investigate how to be successful. Does that remind you of the blind leading the blind?

Well, that is how it was. But, that is not how it is now. I have invested the time needed to find out the underlying laws, principles, rules, methods, and techniques of successful action in the network marketing field. I have gotten educated about this wonderful industry. By doing so, I have saved myself the 90 percent of the time and effort required to achieve my goals. I am no longer blindly following behind the blind. Investing the time to get educated has saved me from falling into the traps I used to fall into. I am now successfully building a solid home business around practical, proven techniques that work.

If you find yourself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed in building your network marketing business, there can be many reasons for that. So, if you desire to stop wasting time, I offer you a proven system to help you implement the 10/90 rule. This system is working for me and so many others and, if you work it, it will work for you too.
