The Magic of Part Time MLM Income You just enrolled in your MLM. You re excited. You have visions of what you are going to do with the extra income. Pictures of sleeping until 10am, working from your underwear and going to your mailbox to find massive checks dance through your head as if you are a 6-year-old waiting to see Santa on Christmas Eve. Then it hits you. You have absolutely NO IDEA what to do. Then you fall upon the one single idea that most brand new people forget as fast as they learn it. I just have to get people to the (website, webinar, live meeting or whatever your team/company system is.) It s almost as if you subconsciously complicate it immediately. Your brain says there HAS to be more to it. That is too simple. The truth is, there are many, many other aspects to building a big network marketing organization, however when you first are getting started, it really is as simple as: 1. Quality Exposures 2. Quality Follow up 3. Quality Training for New People You don t have any responsibility for hosting events, creating marketing campaigns or anything else. You have 1 job: ENROLL NEW PEOPLE and train them to do the same
And more specifically Invite new people to listen to the story of your products/company and follow up. That s it. But our funny little minds tend to try and defocus us, confuse us and scatter our attention. Remember, in this industry we get paid for sales volume Period! Product knowledge doesn t pay the mortgage. Knowing where the President is from doesn t get you any closer to leaving your job Understanding all the nuances and functionality of your virtual office doesn t put your kids in private school Is it important to learn these things? Sure it is eventually But what so many people do is fill up all their prime contact time with busy work. They fill it with activities that don t directly result in any new income. Trust me, you will learn all of those things as you go. And, if you don t get to work on income producing activities, you won t make a check. If you don t make a check, you have striped the magic away from the industry and will get discouraged and drop out. Most people think it s the guy/woman who tells the story about making $20,000 a month that gets people to enroll. Well, that is true sometimes. But more times than not, it s the story of the BRAND NEW person who is only working 8 hours a week and makes $500 in his second month that moves new prospects into action. EVERYONE can see themselves working 8 hours a week EVERYONE can see how an extra $500 a month will impact their current life
You see, the first story requires them to envision substantial change (change of schedule, effort, skills, lifestyle, friends, etc.). The second story, which is why it is the real magic of our industry, doesn t require the new prospect to change anything really. Anyone can carve out 8 hrs a week. Anyone can simply invite people to check out the. It s simple; they can see themselves doing it. That is why you got started isn't it? Then your mind takes over and screws everything up This is what happens. You make a decision to join a company based on whatever knowledge you have at the time. Then you dig into all the material, websites, literature the company puts out and you start learning stuff. And your mind says, Well, someone needs to know before they will join. It tricks you, because it just isn t true. You didn t need to know all of that stuff, and for the most part, either do your prospects.
You know what you needed to know? It s probably a variation of these statements. 1. Can I do this? 2. Do I have time to do this? 3. Do I want to do this? 4. Can I trust the people I am going to do this with? We like to make things complicated Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci If I had 8 hours a week to get my business started, this is what I would do. 1. 1-2 hours a week learning about product/company/systems 2. 1 hour a week training on personal development, marketing, MLM or success related 3. 5-6 hours a week contacting, exposing and following up with prospects & new team members. If you stay focused on the activities that MAKE YOU MONEY, you will seamlessly pick up the other stuff as you go.
Your mind will try and pull you in different directions, be bigger than that; don't let your mind distract you. Focus on income producing activities, namely, contacting your prospects, sharing the products and opportunity and sign them up. Dream Big, Start small, Do it NOW!
