What do you think?


My friend, I was talking to a friend the
other day and a topic of taking control of our
lives popped-up.

He was saying that a friend of him was lucky to
have a job and a business opportunity which sort
of fell onto his lap. That guy made more money than
he made from his 9 to 5 job in his business. I quickly
disagreed with the 'lucky' part and our word exchange
became more exciting. He envied his friend and at the
same time was not happy with what he was doing.

My argument was that opportunity could possibly,
rarely happen without you looking for it. However,
you have to be at the right place, at the right
time, with the right people. For me, that is no
coincidence.

I suggested that instead of 'waiting' for that
opportunity to happen, go and find one. It
does not mean you have to jump on a business
proposal right on the spot. Start by reading and
studying what other successful people are doing
that you don't. It will then lead you to a business
idea and to what you'd like to do.

If you have to, start a low-risk business and learn
from it. If the business does not work, it does not
mean you are not good in building a business. It
means you need more knowledge on building it. And,
with a start of a small capital, you can afford to
make mistakes and learn from them.

Also give some time for your business to grow. Do not
expect the result will happen overnight.

Sometimes, you'll see the result in one or two years.
Sometimes, more than that.

Remember, learning from experience is much more
priceless than doing nothing and fearing to fail.

Think about that, my friend.


 


Until next week !


Warm regards,

What you think -- doesn’t count.
By Tom “Big Al” Schreiter
http://www.fortunenow.com

Prospects don’t think like we do. If they did,
they wouldn’t still be prospects. They would have
already joined.

We don’t think the same way as our prospects, so
let’s make sure that we make offers that appeal
to our prospects, not to us.

Let's see how good you are at understanding your
prospects.

As you know, I write a free newsletter called
“Big Al’s Recruiting Newsletter.” I send it out
weekly to almost 50,000 subscribers.

In most issues I have the following sections:

1. A great prospecting tip.

2. Worthless sponsor jokes.

3. Four great headlines or first sentences
to use while prospecting.

4. The Fat Boy’s Report (a paragraph on my
weight-loss efforts).

5. Resources.

6. Where are we? (Guess where we are in this
photo.)

7. My seminar and workshop schedule.

Now, I know exactly which section is my favorite
section. However, my preferences don’t match the
preferences of my subscribers.

My subscribers overwhelmingly have a favorite
section they go to first.

Can you guess which section they go to first?

Go ahead, take a guess.

Want a hint?

What do most people talk about?

Other people. People are interested in other
people’s lives.

That’s why soap operas are popular. That’s why
tabloids with outlandish stories of celebrities
sell millions of copies. That’s why gossip is
so much fun.

So here is what happened.

I started getting e-mails from readers telling
me how I could start losing more weight. They
enjoyed reading about my weight-loss struggles
in the “Fat Boy’s Report.”

It seemed that almost all of the e-mails coming
to me were comments about the “Fat Boy’s Report.”
No one commented about anything else.

And when I gave live workshops, guess what happened?

Attendees came to me and commented on how much
they enjoyed reading the “Fat Boy’s Report.” Then
they would give me fudge, candy bars, and ice cream.
Yes, ice cream.

In Oxnard, California one lady gave me a whole pint
of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream 20 minutes before the
meeting! There was no place to store it, so I had
to eat the entire pint before my workshop started.

So I checked the log files on our server. Sure
enough, the “Fat Boy’s Report” was the clear winner.
I bet most people scrolled down to the bottom of
my newsletter and read the “Fat Boy’s Report” first.
(That’s an easy bet because many subscribers wrote
and told me that’s exactly what they did each issue.)

Is something wrong here?

Well, I think so.

My favorite section is the terrific prospecting
tips I share each week. These tips will actually
make the readers more successful in their businesses.

And yet, the readers ignore all of the good
money-making sections of my newsletter, and scroll
down to read the “Fat Boy’s Report” first.

Ouch.

The subscribers of my newsletter certainly don’t
think like I do.

But who is the newsletter for? The subscribers.

So I have to learn to accept that others think and
are motivated differently.

So which section came in #2?

Okay. I’ve given you a hint of what motivates the
readers of my newsletter. Here is your chance to
guess which is the second most popular section of
my newsletter.



Well, let’s see what you picked.

1. A great prospecting tip?

No, that’s still my favorite section, but not for
the readers.

2. Worthless sponsor jokes?

No. They are certainly funny and people do enjoy
them, but it’s not my readers’ second favorite
section.

3. Four great headlines or first sentences to
use while prospecting?

Wow! This is really a great help for my readers to
build their business, but it’s not my readers’
second favorite section.

5. Resources?

This is a great section but didn’t rank very high
at all.

7. My seminar and workshop schedule?

This is routinely ignored by tens of thousands of
readers.

6. Where are we? (Guess where we are in this photo.)

Well, if you picked #6 - Where are we? (Guess where
we are in this photo.) – you picked the second most
popular section of my newsletter.

I was shocked!

This section was added several months ago against
my will. My daughter-in-law suggested that we post
pictures from our travels and asked the readers to
guess where we were.

“That’s stupid.” Yes, that was my reply to her.

But every couple of weeks, she would make the same
suggestion. So to humor her, I put her suggestion
into the newsletter.

And boy, is that section popular . . . and I don’t
know why.

Wouldn’t readers rather learn some great prospecting
tips instead of guessing the location of a picture
of my wife and me on vacation?

I would think so.

But it’s not about me. It’s about the readers. This
is what they like. (As a side note, some of the
readers are very, very geographically-challenged.
Their guesses bring quite a few laughs here at the
office.)

So why do you think this section is so popular?

Try this.

This section is about people.

Remember what I wrote earlier? People are interested
in other people. It’s human nature.

Are we getting it? Do we see the lesson here?

Make your offers and presentations
about people – not facts.

This is a huge lesson for us to use in our business.
This should change how we present our opportunity,
our service, or our products.

Want some examples?

Which presentation do you find more interesting and
effective?

A. Our opportunity provides you with built-in
tax advantages that can reduce your effective tax
rate from 31% to 28%.

B. Let me tell you about the lady from Fairfield,
Vermont who now earns an extra $350 a week and can stay
home with her children.

Hmmm. Not too tough of a choice, is it? Most people
want to hear about the lady from Fairfield.

A. Our “Super Product” has 15 more milligrams of
Omega Fatty Acids than the store brand at Wal-Mart.

B. Let me tell you how Michelle lost two inches
off her waistline by taking our “Super Product” for
only three days.

Okay, this one isn’t very hard either. We want to know
more about Michelle.

A. Our long distance calling card can be used
anywhere in the world, and it is easy to make calls.

B. Thank goodness John and Mary had our long
distance calling card. When their daughter failed
to get on that flight from Portland . . .

Yes, “B” is more interesting because “B” is about
people. We are programmed to be interested in people.

So the big lesson is easy. Talk about people . . .
and prospects will listen.

If your prospects aren’t listening, maybe you might
want to change what you’re talking about. Don’t
blame the prospects. Blame the person giving the
presentation.

3. ARTICLE - MLM - A Dream Come True
=====================================================



MLM - A Dream Come True
By Sheri Din

Since I was a young teen, I had somewhat made a mental
decision that I didn't want to 'work for somebody else'.
I freelanced for several years with many different
companies in the market research industry, as that
afforded me time flexibility and control - something
I treasure most in my life. Unfortunately, there just
wasn't any clear direction of where I was to go, as I
went. I was just really going round in circles. There
was no push for excellence.

After a while, it all became meaningless. I thought then,
that maybe a real job would make me happy. I got myself
employed, working a very responsible position and got
myself a nice enough paycheck, settled into the routine,
but after 3 years, I realized I could not take anymore,
going out to work for someone else who controls my time,
my income and ultimately my life. The urge to jump off
that wagon became really huge as time went by. I really
wanted to be my own boss. The right time to leave that
situation came and I swiftly went into the property
market and became a real estate agent. But guess what?
Soon enough, the reality of running a business hit me.
I had money but where did all my time go? I realized
I was working myself mad.

MLM has been a dream come true to me - although it took
several years of some regular drilling into my head about
the concept of this wonderful business and it's
unimaginable rewards - before I finally opened up my
heart and mind to it. And I never looked back.

In MLM, I am my own boss. I work at my own time. I
personally plan my schedule according to my heart's
desires. I can put a swim, a theatre, a shopping trip
or a movie into my plans at any time of any day - it is
ENTIRELY up to me! I can be with my family whenever
I want. I can take off days to entertain friends or
relatives whenever I need to. I can take a holiday and
jump on the next plane to Mauritius, today, if I wanted
to. David Nelson tells me so patiently when I ask him
what it is about this MLM business that keeps him going,
he says "Sheri, it's the time flexibility this business
offers you. You don't get that from any other type of
work." Nothing could be truer. And who's richer than
the master of his own time and destiny?

Yes, in MLM you are able to control your destiny. I control
my results. Not another person I call 'the boss'. Not the
company. Not my upline. Not even the market. And especially
not the government. I determine what income I want to make
and what life I want to live. And I work towards that. If
my pace is swift, my results are swift! It's just like having
my own plantation. I determine the crops I want to grow. I
study and get as much information as I can about all the
things I need to learn and do. Then I prepare my land. I
enrich it with quality nourishment. And I start planting.
I continue to learn as I go along. And I meet the challenges
as they come.

There are days of heavy rains and floods that wash away
some of my crops. There are hot, dry spells, when the
earth gets hard and the crops get scorched. There are
days of sheer havoc, of strong winds and great storms.
But when the flood subsides and the storm passes, I just
roll up my sleeves, go into my field, pick up the pieces
and put my plantation back together piece by piece, part
by part. I clear and throw out what I don't want. I
re-plant what I love. I trim where I want to. I weed
where I have to. I nourish where I need to. And I go
find more good quality new seedlings to plant. I water
it and nurture it as best I can. And I watch it grow.
What is most exciting is that after some havoc, the
land somehow becomes more fertile, and the surviving
crops are usually ready for action!

All the time, all I have to remember is there is this
law of the harvest which is there to 'protect' my
interest. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for
whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." I read
somewhere of the 4 undeniable principles of this law.
They are:

1) The Principle of Investment: You reap only IF you sow.
2) The Principle of Identity: You reap only WHAT you sow.
3) The Principle of Increase: You reap MORE than you sow.
4) The Principle of Interval: You reap AFTER you sow.

So, if you're kind to your land, and you plant good seeds,
you be patient with the challenges and the waiting, you
will be rewarded with a bountiful harvest. "Life is
uncertain but give anyway. Life is uncertain, but God
is always faithful."

The MLM business will continue to change a lot of lives.

When we sow a thought, we reap an act,
when we sow an act, we reap a habit,
when we sow a habit, we reap a character,
when we sow a character, we reap a destiny.

To Your Success!
