How Do You Get A Positive Attitude?

by Andre Vatke

Believe it or not, attitude is a choice. And as a function of our repeated choices, it becomes a habit. For better or worse that habit can be hard to break.

Here’s a sobering fact: 100% of your success is tied to your attitude when listening, communicating and interacting with others. Everything you do or say comes out or is colored by your attitude.

Most people think that their attitude is somehow tied to their mood. But attitude has nothing to do with what happens to you. it has to do with how you respond or react to what happens to you.

A positive attitude comes from your ability to process your thoughts in a positive way, regardless of the circumstance surrounding it. And it’s never 100%. That’s why no matter how determined you are to have a positive attitude, you will still have ups and downs based on your thought process and vulnerability to others.

Your everyday thoughts and actions build the foundation for your attitude - either positive or negative. If you consistently do little things with a positive attitude, the habit will build and you will find it playing out in bigger things.

How start each day on the right foot…

A big part of developing a positive attitude begins with what we feed our mind. Our mind is the most complex supercomputer yet developed, capable of billions of simultaneous computations. Everyone has problems, issues, and challenges in their lives. The difference between those who accomplish positive results and those who do not is found in the thought process that goes into figuring out the solution to these everyday issues.

Make point to start each day, right when you wake up, to read write, and contemplate something positive.

If you have the opportunity, share a positive thought or action with someone else. The act of giving is often the greatest gift of growth we can give ourselves.

The opposite of contemplating the positive and expressing it is procrastinating. Resolve yourself today to make a lasting change in your life by working on your own attitude each and every day, starting now!

Can You Teach Your Network Marketing Prospects To Join Your Company?

by Andre Vatke

Marketers are often looking for some hypnotic set of words, some system that will cause their prospects for join in droves. There are a ton of people that will promise you just that...

Is this realistic? Does it even exist?

Of course not! However, you can do things in your marketing that will not only give you an edge over your competitors, it will actually teach your prospects to join you in business!

Now that may sound like hype, but it’s not.

Think about it. No matter where you turn, you have competitors. If you advertise on AdWords, AdCenter or Yahoo, you have stiff competition for just about every keyword you could think of . And it’s not any easier advertising in magazines.

If you are calling leads, you compete with other marketers (because prospects never respond to just a single ad). Not to mention competing for time, attention and struggling to build credibility. There are lots of competitors, people who have the same amount of experience as you do or more, but there is one difference...

Less than 1% of network marketers use their marketing to educate their prospects and to capture their loyalty and their business.

They focus on short-term rather than long-term and lose BOTH as a result!

So you can have a secret weapon…

Teaching your prospects that you are the logical solution to their problem is all about follow-up. But not just any follow-up either.

To be effective, follow-up must focus on what the prospect wants. This is something that most network marketing gurus never tell you about!

Marketers often think that follow-up is all about “closing the sale.” Nothing could be further from the truth!

How many times have you wanted to hear from a marketer trying to get you to buy something or join their business? Never. Not even once! In fact, contacting prospects repeatedly to try to sell them is not only annoying, but could kill the entire relationship – FOREVER!

So what’s the secret?

Stand out as an expert in your prospects eyes. Provide them with a stream of knowledge that separates you from the crowd – makes you shine. Do this and your competitors will be left behind. Isn’t that what you want? To sponsor more prospects, duplicate and develop great leaders?

Don’t misunderstand this as giving away your time and knowledge for free. You can choose to do that if you enjoy working for free, however I don’t recommend it!

What I am talking about is showing your prospect solutions to their problems. Show them how what you have can help them accomplish, fix or avoid a major issue and you have their attention. Do it with a level of respect and understanding of where they are and what it’s like to be them and you earn their trust. Deliver of your promises and you earn their respect and gratitude.

There’s more to just dangling a few carrots

By ALVIN TAY

Better compensation planning can help achieve marketing goals

SALES compensation in network marketing would seem to be a relatively straightforward proposition: Dangle a few carrots, give the best sales distributors a trip to Bali, stand back and reap the rewards. But according to author of Why You're Dumb, Sick & Broke...And How to Get Smart, Healthy & Rich! (John Wiley & Sons) Randy Gage, it’s much more complicated than that.

An appropriately constructed sales compensation programme, says Gage, a marketing guru and distributor with Agel, can help eliminate that most divisive issue for distributors: Why am I receiving what I’m receiving?

Moreover, he says, better strategic compensation planning can help achieve strategic marketing goals as well. But it’s seldom used that way, Gage says.

“While most companies think they’re paying adequately, 67% of all sales distributors think their current commission system does nothing to drive behaviour,” he says.

And here is the bottom line, Gage says 95% of the people in network marketing simply have no idea what kind of business they’re in.

“I say this because you can drive around most cities and see ridiculous-looking signs on fences and telephone poles that say, “Lose Weight in 30 Days” with a phone number.

“And most of these people think they’re in network marketing, but they are practicing plain old sales. They’re selling product one person at a time.

Gage says one should view it as a business of teaching and training people.

“What I suggest they do if they want to be successful is model themselves on somebody who’s genuinely successful and who’s developed residual, walk-away income on the basis of relationships with his people. Those are the people you want to emulate”.

And Gage’s advice is to go for the big-business model.

“That’s where you go out and sponsor people into the business with the opportunity. You’re going to train them and teach them with the goal of building a network of tens or ultimately hundreds of thousands of distributors”.

Gage says one has to ask: “What kind of business do you want to have?

“Suppose I sponsored you into my business, and I’ve gone with you to 10 of your friends and did two-on-one presentations with you. I came into your living room and did meetings there for two months one night a week and then I counselled with you on a monthly basis and provided a big quarterly event that you could plug into and bring your people to. And say I worked with you and developed the relationship all that time.

“Now when the hot new fibre-cookie deal comes out, you’re going to say, “I love the company I’m with, they’ve got great support, I’m making progress, my group gets bigger every month, my check gets bigger every month, and I don’t have time to be looking at other distractions. Nnetwork marketing is really about relationships, that’s what it is.

Gage has been called a “Jedi Knight of Prosperity.” He takes that role seriously, working to save the inhabitants of the universe from their worst enemy - themselves.

Of course, Gage has also been called arrogant, judgmental, and evil. But one thing is certain: his brash, outspoken, and straight-shooting advice produces solid results.

A former high school dropout, Gage rose from a dishwasher in a pancake house to become a multimillionaire. Today, he is recognised as one of the world's preeminent experts on prosperity. For more than fifteen years, he has been helping other people transform self-limiting beliefs into business and personal success.

Gage takes the conventional beliefs that money is bad, rich people are evil, and it's spiritual to be poor and positively detonates them in a flurry of opposing evidence. His own compelling journey of triumph over poverty, fear, and self-doubt demonstrates the true power of your mind to attract and maintain prosperity in your life.
