How to Stop Hopping Around Like a Rabbit

I just love network marketing. It gives the average person, you know, the non-singer, non-movie star, non-athlete type, the best chance to earn the residual income like the stars. Thus, I've been in the industry for many years. No, I wasn't always successful but I stuck with network marketing until I found what works and what doesn't. Even though I've been with several companies, I didn't hop around like a rabbit because I knew this - it takes time to build a home business.

What I didn't realize, however, is with some companies and some programs, no matter how long you stick around you will never produce residual income- it is designed that way. (I'll tell you how to avoid that situation at a later time.)



As I mentioned, I didn't bunny hop so it amazes me when I receive emails from the same people who, on average of every three months, introduce me to the latest, greatest and best thing since slice bread. They feel that every pre-launch opportunity that comes along is the one. They feel that if you don't get in on the ground floor you will miss the opportunity of a life-time. This strategy is an attempt to create the fear of loss and it works on so many people. Why?

Because people who have not read Success in 10 Steps don't know how to evaluate an opportunity. But most people who do read it, learn how to systematically analyze the network marketing opportunity and know before they join if it is a viable business opportunity or if the so-called opportunity is another time-waster. But some people (like the people who send me those emails) just don't take the time to read the book so they continue to hop around like a rabbit. There are many problems with that - two of which are these: 1) they eventually give up on their dream because they feel network marketing doesn't work and 2) the people observing this behavior also feel network marketing doesn't work so never explore the opportunity.

If you're tired of hopping around like a rabbit, or if you've been attempting to create additional income via your home based business with little to no progress, find out why your lack of success is not your fault by clicking here to receive your free copy of the ebook, Success in 10 Steps.

I can assure you from first hand experience, network marketing does work for the average person.

What Are You Working On?

First let me start by saying Happy New Year! I pray that this is your best year ever in every area of life, in particular in network marketing.

If you started a business in the past that is working for you, continue working it until you get the desired result. But, if what you started hasn't worked and you've given it your best effort, then maybe it's time to find out why. It could very well be that you only need to get the skills that will help you build your business. Or, it could very well be what you're doing will never work. At any rate, whether you need to make a change, or simply learn skills, I am here to help as many people as I can succeed in network marketing.

Okay, let's move on. I want to start with a question. Do you know why you are doing network marketing? If you know why, is the why strong enough to keep you in the game when it seems everything is going wrong? Will your why keep you motivated to action even when you don't feel like working? Did I say working? Yes. Network marketing entails WORK, lots of WORK, lots of consistent, focused WORK. It is not netwish, or nethope, or neteasy marketing. It is netWORK marketing. That is the reason you have to have a strong why because when others join you and discover it is WORK, they will quit.

Back to the question, do you know why you are doing network marketing. Do you see it as your best chance to earn an above average income? Or, did you join because an upline promised you they would do it for you if you joined? That may sound silly, but I actually know someone who tells his people that.
And guess what? He is a sponsoring maniac. And guess what else? No one else is duplicating his sponsoring efforts. My friend does understand that he has to WORK to build a business, but he missed the point that network marketing is a team of people working together all doing a few things not just one person doing everything. He doesn't understand you cannot do it for them but you can mentor and guide them. He can plug them into a system where they can develop their business and personal skills. As a result, he is spinning his wheels because just as fast as he signs up one person, someone else quits.

Another way an upline can promise you they'll do it for you is with spillover. Spillover creates the mentality that I don't have to do anything. And, as already mentioned, network marketing entails WORK - not just by one person, but by everyone involved, I might add.

Okay, let's say you don't expect to get rich by spillover but you joined a network marketing company because you saw it as an equal opportunity for everyone to achieve their desired income. You understand that it takes work and that it is not get rich quick but will take persistent, consistent effort. But, you just can't seem to get it WORKING. If that's your case, there is a way to get it going. It starts with basic understanding of network marketing. It starts with basic understanding of PEOPLE. Yes, PEOPLE. Since it is proven that network marketing is a people business, developing people skills will take you a long way. And, believe it or not, developing people skills is quite simple. Now there are other skills which need to be developed, but people skills is the number 1 skill needed and so often overlooked.

Not only do you have to understand other people, you have to understand and know yourself. That is why in addition to developing people skills, part of building a solid busines is personal-development as well. Personal-development will help anchor you and keep you working when you feel like quitting. This actually reminds me of a quote I read by Bob Moawad about goal setting which says - when we set goals they work in two ways: we work on them and they work on us. So it is with network marketing, we work on the business and the business works on us.


So, let's get started on those people skills. How, by downloading this free ebook, Success in 10 Steps where you will discover that your lack of success is NOT your fault. Once you get started with the ebook, I will show you where to start the personal development process.

I look forward to netWORKing with you.

Be empowered to prosper!

The 10/90 Rule -- The YTB Story

In a previous article, I explained the 10/90 rule as "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."

Well, I just read a press release by the Attorney General of the State of California. It exposed a "gigantic pyramid scheme" by a very well known network marketing company -- YTB. This is what can happen when the 10/90 rule is violated. Michael Dlouhy of Mentoring for Free and Rod Cook of the MLM Watchdog and many others who have done their due diligence and invested the time learning the industry saw this coming and have been warning about this for years.

If you have not invested the time to find out the underlying laws, principles, rules, methods and techniques of successful action in network marketing, this may very well be the perfect time to do so. Get started here.

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.
