Frank Bauer Editor, "Frank Bauer's $1,000,000 Newsletter" news@add2it.com =================================== 2) "PERSISTENCE--YOUR KEY TO SUCCESS!" by JoyLane Since persistence is a state of mind, it can therefore be cultivated. In order to be successful in your business endeavors you MUST be persistent. Most successful entrepreneurs will tell you that success can not be achieved without persistence. Success, long term success, most likely will not come to you with the first thing you try in your business. So you must be persistent. Try a different approach, a new angle, a different marketing tactic. What ever you do, DON’T give up. If you are involved in a legitimate business offering a needed service, DO NOT QUIT. Change your approach, but do not quit. Listed below are the seven ingredients of PERSISTENCE: Definite purpose: You must know what you want. Without knowing this, you cannot develop the strong motivating forces necessary to overcome obstacles in your way. Desire: With intense desire you can easily acquire and maintain persistence in pursuing your goals in life and business. Definite Plans: Definite and organized plans encourage persistence. Accurate Knowledge: If you know that your plans are sound, based on sound principles, experience or observations, you are encouraged to be persistent. Self-reliance: You must believe that YOU can carry out your plans. Cooperation: You must be willing to cooperate with others. Will-Power: Develop the habit of concentrating your thoughts upon the building of plans for the attainment of your goals. This builds and cultivates persistence toward those goals. Weak desires yield weak results. The lack of persistence is a weakness of most people. However, it can be overcome with effort. Your ability to conquer a lack of persistence will depend entirely on your desire, the intensity of your desire to achieve your goals. The starting point of achievement is desire. If you lack persistence, this weakness may be corrected by cultivating and building stronger, more intense desires. I’ve listed below, a number of “Persistence Killers”. Measure yourself, point by point, to determine your resistance level. These weaknesses MUST be mastered in order for you to achieve true long term success: Procrastination--sometime with cause, usually without cause--both are killers! Indecision--unwillingness to face and deal with issues. Indifference--demonstrated by a readiness to compromise rather than fight opposition. Lack of Planing--with nothing in writing for reflection and analyzation Weakness of Desires--with no CLEAR motivation for action. Neglect--not moving on ideas and opportunities Lack of Knowledge--along with an unwillingness to learn. No Solutions--to problems, but lots of excuses. No Real Ambition--willingness to compromise with poverty. Get Rich Quick Syndrome--always seeking a quick fix instead of seeking REAL business opportunities that yield REAL results over the long term. Fear of Failure--afraid of what others might say or think. I have, over the years, watched others fail in their business endeavors and can say that one of the most common reasons for their failure is that they give up--QUIT! However, I encourage you to keep going, keep trying, and keep the desire STRONG within you to succeed in your chosen business. Also, I must add that you must make certain that your chosen business fills legitimate need. If it does fill a need, you can make a successful go of it! BEST WISHES.

So, you guarantee to build my downline. * Yeah, right!! * Oh really, if I start now I can earn $5000 in the next 30 days. * In your dreams! * $20,000/month, that's a lot of money. * OK, I'll get on that right away! * Let's face it, nobody is going to build your downline, except you. And there is no way that you will make $5000 in the first 30 days of promoting any program. As far as making $20,000/per month, yes it's possible, there are people out there making that much. In fact there are people out there making 3 - 4 times that amount each month BUT that is after years and years of hard work and dedication. You don't just walk into that kind of money. I do not disapprove of MLM, in fact, I'm in love with the industry and my goal here is not to disenchant you as to the possibilities of MLM, I only want to be realistic. Sure, it's great to dream, there are a lot of big numbers floating around out there, I get caught up in them all the time, but when it comes down to it nobody is going to build your business for you, nobody, you have to do it yourself. You have to work hard for your own success. I sometimes think of MLM as bright lights , which can be easily done with all those 6 digit income possibilities that everyone talks about. But sooner or later you're going to have to put on your sunglasses so you can get a look at the real picture or you're just setting yourself up for a whole bunch of dissappointment. As I said before, the point of this is not to pick apart MLM, it is rather to more realistically inform anyone interested or involved in MLM about the "Real Truths" and what I believe to be the "Secrets" of becoming successful in Network Marketing. *Disclaimer - Before I go any further I want to make sure that everyone understands that the truth's and secret's I'm about to unfold only pertain to upstanding, legitimate MLM companies and opportunities.* - TRUTHS - Truth #1. Multi-Level Marketing, MLM, Network Marketing, whatever you want to call it IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME! In actual fact it is a get rich slow scheme. Truth #2. Yes, it is possible to make an incredible income. An income that goes beyond your wildest dreams. There are people doing it. And if they can do it, you can do it! Truth #3. Multi-Level Marketing is absolutely the greatest opportunity available for the average person, like you and me, that allows us to acheive financial independance and to truly realize our dreams. Truth #4. This one I'm not so fond of. It's sad but true, that 85% of all people who get involved with MLM will never see a cheque for more than $200.00 and most of those 85% will eventually drop out. - SECRETS - And now for the "Secrets" that will determine your success. Now, granted these aren't very well kept secrets, you may very well have heard them before, but I think that sometimes people just overlook them in the hopes that there IS a real secret out there. SECRET #1.This is perhaps the most important secret in MLM today. The #1 thing that will determine your level of success in this industry is, "The amount of effort that you personally put into building your business." Pretty basic eh! But so overlooked, there are so many people out there looking for a FREE RIDE. Well, it's just not going to happen, at least not for the long run. SECRET #2. Don't re-invent the wheel. Look to your upline, not just your immediate upline, way up, the ones seeing real success, find out what they are doing. AND DO THE SAME THING!! If it is working for them it will work for you! SECRET #3. Make a commitment to your success, you're worth it, so stick with it. It will take time, perhaps more time than you would like to think it will but if you stick with it YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL! SECRET #4. Be consistent. Work your business on a daily basis. It is much, much better to work on your business for 2 hours a day than it is to try and "catch up" by putting in 10 or 12 hours on the weekend. SECRET #5. Get organized and treat your business like a business! I can't over emphasize this enough. If you do you will be rewarded like a business. If you treat it like a hobby, you will be rewarded like a hobby. Now, I know there are other truths and other secrets, but I think these few that I have listed are the major ones. If you feel I've missed a big one please let me know I'd be happy to add it to the list. - ONE FINAL THOUGHT - ( about online MLM's ) I live in a foreign country and I don't speak the local language very well so my only choice is to promote my MLM online and I have learned a few lessons. Especially about choosing your upline. In the days before promoting on the Internet we had to recruit "Face to Face." We went through our "Warm Markets", we walked and talked, held presentations, cold called and so on. We met our prospects face to face and when they signed up it was because they believed in the opportunity and they believed in US. They got to know us on a close personal basis and were confident that we would supply them with the upline support that they deserved. This is so different from today's world of internet promoting. We are always hidden behind a computer screen, perhaps never meeting our prospects or recruits personally. I was so naive when I signed up with my first online MLM. I saw a fancy website, read some great promises about the best support on the internet. I was so excited I quickly filled out the application and signed up right away. But how quickly that excitement fizzled. My upline finally returned my messages after trying to get a hold of him for two weeks. Oh he apologized profusely, told me he's been so busy and not to worry it will never happen again. But nothing changed, he just didn't seem to care about me at all. So I called the company and requested to be allowed to change distributors. As stated in the companies terms and conditions, a distributor was allowed to change sponsors if they felt they were unethically sponsored which I certainly was. That was my first bad experience with "Internet Upline's" but, unfortunately not my last. I found out that words can be cheap on the Internet and that when someone says they will give great support, it doesn't necessarily mean you will get it. My advice when signing up online, ask questions, find out for sure what kind of support you will get. There are just too many people out there saying, "We give great support, we promise this and we promise that" and when it really comes down to it they give little or no support at all. We all need support, so be careful choosing your upline. Good luck!! And don't ever give up, success could be just around the corner! -- Kevin deBellefeuille is an active member of the International Marketer's Group as well as the founder of The MLM Starting Point, a "One Stop Resource Center" for anyone interested in MLM.
