Why My Friend Bob Could Not Work From Home

My friend Bob was deep into affiliate marketing and wanted to make a living of it. So he leaves his job and starts his affiliate business on his home. In theory work from home is easy and gives you plenty of time to do whatever you wanted to do. In Theory...Let me tell you how my friend Bob failed working from home and perhaps you don't repeat the same mistakes.On a regular day, my friend Bob wake up close to midday and turn on the TV while he pour the first coffee on his mug, read the paper (the comic strips and the sport section) and then go to the gym (he doesn't lift weight he just go to see the girls on tights).After that hour he come back home and take a lunch, then he turn on his computer. He read his mail and click on every single offer he receive and subscribe in every single opt in he sees. Spending about two hours in the process.Then he takes a nap from about one hour.After that he grabs a snack and a cold beer, and enters in the forums and spends another two hours reading the latest post and make comments on it.Then he visits his Facebook account and spends another two hours playing mafia wars and FarmVille. After that another hour is gone in his twitter incursion.The TV is always on and his messenger always receiving messages from his friends (and of course he answered back). He eat dinner and then sit down in his favorite sofa with a beer and a big bowl filled to the top with pop corns, to watch a movie (or two) and "rest his eyes" from all the hard work he did in front of his computer.After the movie he sits in front of the computer and notice that is really late for work. So he turns off his computer and goes to bed.The Work from home system could be great and an ideal situation if you want to spend more time with your family. but you still must remember that is a work, and as such must be take it seriously.If you want to work from home, do not be like my friend Bob. Be consistent in what you do. organize and optimize your time, this is important, distribute your work time around the day, work two hours and then stop for two, rest and do anything but work, and then continue for another two hours.If you are consistent, then with the time you can spend less time working and more time doing what you like most to do.

The Truth About Amway

Amway corporation was founded in 1959 by the duo Jay Van Andel and Richard Devos. Amway actually went by the name of Ja-Ri until in 1963 it was changed to Amway. This company is one of the biggest names around the world, they rack up sales in the billions, have thousands of employees and have over 3 million independent distributors. So what's the problem?HistoryAmway started life as Ja-Ri in 1959 until its name was changed to Amway in 1963. Amway operates in more than 80 countries. In 1999 Quixtar was launched, this was an internet based company and replaced Amway in the United States in 2001 after the majority of distributors moved over to Quixtar, However Amway was still the chosen name globally and in 2007 the company once again rebranded to Amway Global.ProductsAmway is the distributor of products for a company called Alticor. These products range from air purifiers to skin cosmetics to Nutrilite and laundry products. The products are actually quite popular and they are responsible for the billions in annual revenueBusiness ModelAmway is a Multilevel marketing company where commissions are earned through a referral or customers actually buying a product. This has been seen as one of the worst aspects of this business as Multilevel marketing has demoralized many people and making them shy away from this business model.I didn't go too in depth in this review for a number of good reasons, Amway is one of the worlds biggest direct selling company in the world and the brand sells itself. If I had gone further then I just tell you what you probably already know.The purpose of this article is to expose the truth about Amway. The problem with Amway is that the training is based on door to door selling and mainly person to person interaction and since most people are comfortable with selling to their families it is these people that get the first sermon.Look you might once in a while get a recruiting super-star who is comfortable with the whole thing, comfortable with talking to every stranger and his dog and he or she might tremendous energy enough to even recruit 20-30 people a month. After a few months though those recruited people start dropping like flies and why exactly?Because they can't DUPLICATE their sponsor or upline they can't get comfortable enough with trying to convince strangers who have no interest in their business opportunity. That is the problem with these methods will have you trying to imitate your sponsor and that is just not possible and that I believe is the killer in MLM.These methods are just not duplicatable there is no system in place for you to plug into, you can see how all this is inefficient and produces little to no results for the average network marketer.It's time for some LEVERAGE.

What is Magnetic Sponsoring?

Magnetic Sponsoring is a pretty common term in the world of network marketing today because of a brilliant man named Mike Dillard. Mike has received a lot of publicity over the years, since his system is how most successful network marketers are introduced to the industry.So let's take a look at what it's all about and why it's different than most other attraction marketing systems out there.First off, Magnetic Sponsoring is, quite simply, attraction marketing from a network marketing perspective and a solution to the beginning and struggling network marketers' problems. He starts off bringing your mindset to the point it should be to succeed with crystal clear illustrations and analogies. He then dives deeper into his system and how to sponsor people almost as if you had a large magnet aimed at every person in the industry looking for a better way to build their business.One of the first things you will learn in Magnetic Sponsoring is to develop your reputation as an industry leader and someone of value. This is the basis of his system because, as you may have guessed, this is how you attract people to you like a magnet. Which means you are now a fisherman, with your knowledge, skills and leadership as the bait, attracting prospects!That sure beats the way that you were probably taught to promote your opportunity from your up-line, right? Because, if you are like most people, you were taught to make a list of your family and friends and pitch them on how much better your company, product or service and opportunity is than all the competition.Let's look, very briefly, at some things you will learn in Magnetic Sponsoring before I explain a couple of the more significant topics later:* How to contact thousands of network marketers already looking to join your opportunity...without making a single phone call or spamming anyone.* A secret way to get hundreds, even thousands, of people to join your downline at the same time without even mentioning your company or business.* The fastest known way to quickly position yourself as an expert and attract leads to you - even if you're brand new to MLM and know nothing about the business now.* An almost magic way to create 100% duplication within your downline.* There is so much more it's not funny!Let's come back to your present situation for a moment by asking yourself this question: What is your biggest source of frustration?Is it cold-calling? Buying leads? Or worse yet, chasing family and friends!?!?The main topics covered in Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring will more than solve those problems. The concepts that solve most networkers' biggest frustrations are:* Attraction marketing: how to effectively brand yourself as the leader that attracts prospects and customers to you.* Funded proposals: how to earn money off of the people who do not join your team. This concept is critical because it keeps you motivated and gives you the resources to invest more in your business exponentially multiply growth.* How to create a true business franchise, just like McDonald's. This simple system is what will determining factor in growing your downline.Attraction marketing is a specific system that can be learned and put into action. It has been used in the "real world" for hundreds of years, but never taught in network marketing until now.

I'm Looking For a Home-Based Business! Are There Any That are As Good As They Advertise?

I was having a conversation with a friend, Mark, a few months back, about home based businesses. He asked, "are there any that is really as good as they are advertised?" And I told him that there was only one real good company out there and yes, many companies love to get passionate about the incomes and get you hooked based upon that and only one will help him make the money he wants.Mark was very interested in what I had to say. He knew that I help people in many of the network marketing companies, so he knew he could trust me to tell him what the best company was. I then said to Mark, "what is it that you are most passionate about?" I asked him if he could list things that were important to him and where he had needs in his life. He said, "Well, I am behind on my bills and I just want a company that can make me money." I said, "That is great", because many of the companies can help him make money. He said "Scott, I want to have the company to make the most money." I said "Yes, I know the exact one." But besides money, if I talked to his wife and a best friend of his, what would they tell me you really wanted or needed? He looked at me and he said that his best friend would tell me he needed a vacation because he was very stressed. He laughed about it and said he would think that it was so that his friend and him could get away and go golfing. He said his wife would probably tell me that it would be about his health. He was recently prescribed with high blood pressure medicine and he said he could lose a few pounds. He said he would have less stress and it may help his blood pressure if he just had more money. I asked him, if he had more money, what would that ultimately give him? He said he could get into the gym, and maybe take a vacation. His blood pressure may become lower and would expect to lose weight.Now, by this time in our conversation, his friend Mary came up to us and after some small talk Mary had asked Mark how he knew me. He told her that I taught network marketers how to build businesses, and he was getting the scoop from me about the best business. Mary said she wanted to know about it too. Mary was in great shape and had a baby boy 5 years old. She said she was recently divorced and needed to find a job since her only income walked out the door and now she had to care for her little one. I asked Mary what she liked to do, and she said she loved peace and meditation times. I said awesome, the best company could help her. Now at this point, Mark said well he wants to get into that company. Mark said that maybe Mary and he could work together in the perfect company.At this point, I told Mark that the perfect company that Mary would be in would not be the one for him. He was confused. I told him that they were very different, and had different wants and needs. I told him the perfect company for him was not the perfect company for Mary. I said if I recommended to him the company for Mary, he would be unhappy and felt I misled him, and Mary would think the same.I told them both, the perfect company for you should not be based upon what someone tells you that you can make with the company. I said it needs to match up with your needs, wants and desires and things that bring you a lot of passion. For Mark, it was more wrapped around health related issues, where Mary wanted products that could give her peace. I gave them a list of companies each, and I said, find someone who can get you the products and try them out for 2 months. Then, if you like them and really if you love the product and the results, then that would be the perfect company for them. If the products did not meet expectations, for them to start with the company, would be like fitting someone in a size 10 shoe into a size 5.I am happy to report that both Mary and Mark have their own home business and I work with them to build their businesses and they are very successful. Both say their business is the perfect business. But it was because it was meant for them. It is not the company that made it the perfect business for the income side, it is because of what they have done.
