well, i do agree to most of the thoughts written in this
thread..and the intentions are good..but there are still things you
need to expose yourself to..the harsh reality of business =
competition..
by helping others..it is to reduce our own future income in
business (in real life)..while you hope for the good of the
industry, you have to go into action..no point hoping...that's only
for students in the protection of their parents..
as for perfect ans that part..i have no intention whatsoever to
mislead you into believing that my post/reply are perfect
answers..in fact the reason i hang around here is to understand the
what the market is about.. we are all learning for the better
clause and purpose..but to each their own..learn the ropes
yourself...
you don't need to learn from me to begin with..you just need to
learn from the market..which is what i'm learning from..having said
that..you're on your own..
to sum it up..you, me and everyone else here are all learning
from one another..and bear in mind 1 thing..there's no such thing
as perfect in the world..<<that's my only advice i can share
with you>>
Yup, agreed!
Anyway, this forum has been awfully quiet. Well, that
can be a good thing as well.
Ok, I'm relatively new to the industry. However, I'm fortunate
enough to learn the ropes of marketing and business strategies to
help other networkers prosper in the long run.
Relating to the topic, my understanding and approach of MLM is
simple:
1) MLM is a legitimate business, one that allows you to have
residual income.
2) As a networker/entrepreneur, you have to monetize your
income. (It is always easier to achieve $100 in front end retail
sales instead of $100 in residual income)
3) Build your business around YOU! Stuart Tan, Adam Khoo, Fabian
Lim can all attest to this. They've all built their business around
themselves as a person. Network Marketing should only be a small
portion of (Your Name) pie. The reason why I said that is
simple:
a) People will want to do business whom they know, like and
trust.
b) When you establish your brand, that is your income! (The
value and knowledge that you offer allows you to be financially
free) For example, if David Beckham retires from football, do you
think he would stop earning? People will still want to buy his
jerseys and things related to his brand.
c) It allows you to differentiate yourself from the competition
because there's only ONE you in the entire world.
4) Read up any books or pick up any courses that will help
increase your knowledge, be it in the network marketing business or
personal development. As the old adage goes, the more you learn,
the more you earn.
5) Lastly, you need to have a strong and positive mindset. There
is no point having to learn the most cutting edge tools but you
don't have a proper mindset to help you withstand the difficult
periods.
Now, there has been alot of talk and buzz around using
"Attraction Marketing" and "Funded Proposals" to build your network
marketing organization and I'm a full advocate of that. Mike Dillard, the Industry Guru, especially in
the online portion has single-handedly revolutionize the industry.
I highly recommend those who have no clue what I'm talking about,
go check him out. Regardless if you are in network marketing or
doing any business, do check him out! It will literally help to
propel your business to a whole new level.
Jaz Lai, Singapore's Top Attraction Marketer, has been around
the industry for quite some time and using the techniques by Mike,
he has been able to create a successful business for himself.
Regardless of your approach, it is important to take note of the
points above to be able to succeed in this industry. Both methods
(Traditional MLM techniques and New MLM techniques are both doable;
just don't fall prey to unscrupulous methods which will
undermine you and your shot at financial freedom)
Ok if my post is totally off the main discussion thread, do let
me know. I'm merely expressing my opinion on the industry and
helping those who come here to share their thoughts on their
understanding on the industry as well. We all can learn from each
other.
I've set up another separate thread. Do come and express your
ideas and knowledge about the industry. I would really appreciate
it!
