MLM – The 5 Most Powerful Parts of Home Business Recruiting

July 20, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

home business recruiting

Home business

owners for the most part, are very happy people. I have found that over the years, most people that I meet that own a home based business are a lot happier than those that are just in a job.

Nothing wrong with a job at all.

Thank God that jobs exist as they put food on the table and do pay bills.

But Home business owners seem to have a whole different attitude about life and energy for the future. I have had one for 25 years, and think that there is no better way to create a lifestyle. Others may argue, but you cannot dispute the results. And those attitudes and “parts” of a home business are powerful recruiting magnets.

There are 5 powerful “Parts” to a Home business, or I call them parts. They actually are 5 HUGE “Recruiting Tools” that people that own a home business can use in recruiting, and use them to become magnetic.

What are the 5 parts?

1. Anticipation.

Most home business owners have a more powerful anticipation for their life and future. They seem to have a much stronger expectation that life is going to be better and more fun. And often times, that is exactly what happens. The anticipation “part” is one of the most magnetic parts in recruiting.

“Can you imagine anticipating every day being the best day of your life and tomorrow is going to be better?”

2. Education.

Most people quit learning after their schooling and their personal development has stopped or slowed down dramatically. Home business owners in MLM are on an education path that trains and teaches them to STRETCH themselves. It teaches them newskill sets. It teaches them new ideas. It teaches them new paradigms. And it teaches them new possibilities and hope. Those are very magnetic things for recruiting in network marketing.

“What I have learned since I have started my home business is beyond words. I am not the same person and am so much more confident about life.”

3. Restoration.

Many home business owners have had their DREAMS RESTORED. They started dreaming again, and looking forward to life. Home business owners have had their FOCUS restored. They have had their BELIEF restored. They have had their CONFIDENCE restored. And they have had their GREATNESS restored to full power. These are powerful magnets to recruiting in MLM.

“I have got my dreams back and am more excited about helping people then I have ever been. Wow. It feels so good to be excited again.”

4. Inspiration.

Home business owners have their inspiration restored as they are inspired again to go out and conquer the world. Many people talk motivation motivation motivation. But True Success comes from Inspiration and not just motivation. Motivation can fade. Inspiration is in it for the long haul.

“I am so inspired by the people I have met and really has helped me to see what life really is and can be!”

5. Termination.

Home business owners seems to terminate in their life what is not working. They terminate negative beliefs. They terminate negative thinking. They terminate negative actions. They terminate small focus. They terminate limiting opinions. They terminate restrictive input. And ….they terminate lack and less in their life. Truly a home business can be a terminating experience – in a powerful and profound way.

“I just don’t think the same anymore. I think so much bigger and more powerful and it keeps life exciting and imagine thinking that way all the time! How would that change your life?”

These are the 5 “parts” to a Home business and Success in MLM. Study them and include them in conversations that you hold with people for reasons to engage an MLM network marketing home business!

Network Marketing – What is the ONE SECRET to Hitting the Two Types of Goals?

July 19, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 2 Comments

home business goals

Home business

goals are critical in any success endeavor that you may engage.

Goals are where you are headed on a day by day hour by hour basis.

Network Marketingis a very GOAL DRIVEN Success vehicle, and that is why many people struggle-they do not set the Goals that will DRIVE your business.

For example, in Galaxy Marketing company, you will find there are POSITIONS or RANKS that you must obtain. These are goals for you to focus on, work towards, capture and to obtain. Your company probably has these levels of achievement and you may already have been promoted- Congrats!

But yet- positions and levels actually — NOTE–are the FRUIT of Goals- and not really the goals themselves if you REALLY want to get technical.

You set goals on a daily basis for your home business and those goals you must engage and obtain to drive your business forward and also to get closer to the rank you are shooting for. Your daily goals actually are the DAILY DRIVERS in your MLM success, but your Rank or Title you are aiming for is the FOLLOW THROUGH FRUIT that occurs and happens when you Follow Through and obtain your daily goals.

Ok…then why don’t most people HIT their goals instead of missing them?

There is a secret that we have learned that you MUST grasp in your network marketing business and if you do, you will be amazed at what happens to your business.

There are 2 types of Goals:

1. Goals that YOU SET.

2. Goals that SET YOU.

Most people set goals and then ignore the goals that SET YOU.

Goals that YOU SET are targets and tasks and accomplishments that will drive you forward as well as your home based business. Those goals are what you plan on and aim for and then engage towards.

Goals that SET YOU are different types of goals that most do not set as they probably do not know about them and you may not as well.

Goals that SET YOU are the goals and rewards that YOU give yourself for accomplishing a task, succeeding at a phone call, doing a great presentation, or getting some powerful new friends or followers on social media.

These are the Goals that SET YOU in Motion.

Goals that SET YOU on TRACK!

Goals that SET YOU on FIRE with a focus of achieving so you can be receiving- what you have set as your reward.

NOTE: If you have goals that SET YOU- you will see so much more accomplished than you could ever believe.

Here is an example:

‘if I make 10 calls today and get 2 appointments, I will go to starbucks and reward myself with a gree tea and quiet time.”

“If I do 1 blog post, 10 comments, get 5 new twitter followers, and jump in on 5 facebook conversations, I will reward myelf that book I have been wanting to buy about Leadership.”

SET Goals that SET YOU in Motion, On track- and onFIRE for EXPLODING your Daily Accomplishments and your network marketing home business!

Home Business- The 3 Things You Will Need No One Will Tell You

July 19, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

home business mom

A Home business is simple enough to start.

Many folks do everyday and are happy they did and work very hard.

But…then something happens. They start going itno the FUNK ZONE and start questioning if it was a good idea to start their own business. It is all part of the process of ANY Start up of any kind. But especially Home based businesses.

The reason?

There are 3 things that are critical to your success that most home business owners never even know. That is why I am writing this. I want you to deal in REALITY and understand you need these 3 things to success in network marketing.

Ok…what are those 3 things?

1. A PLAN that WORKS YOU- not you work it.

This is critical.

It must be a plan that you feel GOOD about and dsoes not overwhelm you or intimidate you. You work the plan that you k now will keep you happily working but STRETCH YOU enough to get the results you need.

2. A Product that says “CONNECTION!”

You MUST be emotionally connected to your product and services. If you are not, you will find this home based business profession is a long road to haul. An emotional connection is powerful and magnetic and draws people towards you.

Most people are NOT connected emotionally to their product….and thus…struggle in marketing it effectively.

3. A Promise that keeps you- you not just not keep it.

Your product and home business must PROMISE something. It must promise Increase, Enlarging, Expansion, Elevation, Changing, Transforming of a life- something that will move the prospect to buy it and join you.

BUT- also it MUST keep YOU as you are so connected and sold on the promise that it becomes part of your language and lifestyle. THAT is what will keep you miving through the hard and tough times.

These 3 things you MUST have for your mlm network marketing business to succeed in home business.

home business twitter bird

In Home business and MLM network marketing world, Microblogging showed up on the horizon about 5 years ago, and the world has never been the same since.

It has gone through some changes and modifications, but it is still a powerful arena to message about your business and home based business products.

Of course, there are other ways as well, but microblogging still is a powerhouse in network marketing.

What is microblogging?

Think of blogging with only 140 characters. Yep, you read that right-about 3 sentences. That is BOTTOM LINE blogging.

Yes, there is plurk,tumblr, jaiku, and many other microblogging services, but in the microblogging world, twitter rules.

And there are 5 Power Tips that will help you rule on twitter. Home business people should want to build a large following on twitter.

It takes some effort on your part, but if you engage these tips, you will find the numbers of followers you have will increase dramatically.

Ok- what are the 5 Power Tips?

Follow Doug on Twitter

1) Become known as the “go to person” for your message and business.

You do this by broadcasting out little know information about what you do and your specialty in your home business. Scour the search engines and blog engines for articles and posts that will help people to know more about your business and products and what they are made of. And make sure that you send out mp3s and video urls as well. Become known for little known secrets and information that others are seeking.

Read that again: OTHERS ARE SEEKING!

Provide information of VALUE and Solution focused.

2) Create extraordinary content and give it to your tweeples-people that follow you on twitter.

Write something extraordinary for your home buisiness niche. Something that will define you as a player in your home based business niche. Whether it is skin care, travel, weight loss, or vitamins. Then tweet it out and watch if get virally marketed-without your effort. Extraordinary content WILL get forwarded. All you have to do is come up with it and then tweet about it to share with others. Give how to’s and solutions to issues that people are suffering with that your buisiness can help address.

3) Do an interview with an expert and then put it up on your blog, and let people know that it is there through twitter, and it’s extraordinary.

This will let people know that you are making an effort to bring the best of the best to the arena, and they will forward the interview. This could be an upline or one of the executives of your company, or one of the top earners. And you can put the url up on your profile as well if you desire. Get it out on facebook and orkut, or even the new Google+ social media site, or any other populated social networking sites. Let the interview be a HOT topic on the twitter search engine. Get it up on friendfeed. And get creative about where else you can put it and tweet about.

4) Send a series of tweets out- a “5 part series on the secrets to <solving a problem> that your products or business will do.”

Or whatever the title would be. Then put part one url in a tweet and send it out. The url contains the post of the first secret. Then do the second one and tweet it out. You should wait till the next day to send the second one out. But send the first part of the series and few times the first day to make sure people do not miss it. After 5 days of sending out the series- send out one last with a url to all 5 listed on a blog post. You can get a LOT of exposure with series oriented power tweets.

5) Ask Questions that will comple people to answer. Make them about the benefits of your products.

The message should be:

“Have you ever had this happen?” “Have you ever suffered from this?” “Do you know anyone that needs some help with their____________?” “What are your thoughts about people struggling with______?” “Have you ever thought about_______?”

These are the types of questions that will PULL the eyes of the readers toward it. CREATE some IMPACT and IMPRESSIONS with your tweets, not just words.

These are 5 Simple Power Tips for twitter and how you can maximize your twitter marketing and social media marketing for your home business and mlm.

MLM – It is NOT about Movement or Motion but EMOTION

July 18, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

home business mlm people

Home business mlm business

requires something that is missing in many presentations and efforts:

EMOTION.

FEELING.

MOVING PEOPLE – not just hyping them,

A ‘Lot of times, people are BUSY being BUSY and getting little if anything done. They focus on being in MOTION and not being in THE EMOTION that will draw people towards you and create a hope and possibility FEELING for their life.

So often in social media, or even traditional presentations there is a lack of emotion and FEELING.

What happens, as I recently saw on facebook, when there is no Feeling involved, there is a need to pressure of FORCE something to happen.

That is not a good thing and will drive many people away.

If you focus on what YOU GET out of network marketing, and not what the prospect gets, you will come across as pressureful and greedy and will turn your prospect off. I see this quite often online. And people do not even realize they are coming across like that.

I saw this on LinkedIn just last week. The guy was obnoxious and was really pressuring people on a public message to look at his business.

Forcing and demanding people to listen comes across as desperate and a possible scam.

Lighten up and focus on what you have for the prospect.

On social media, always make it about what the prospect can GET.

“This ebook is FREE…”

“Imagine this happening to you and your family.”

“Dreams are useless if they stay in your mind. How would you like to see them in real life?”

Whether Video or Audio, or just a post, or face to face, show EMOTION and show VALUE to the prospect in your tweets, posts, and appointments. My favorite emotion phrase I use a lot is this:

“I am so passionate about this, I am sharing this message with people that I believe will see the extreme help it offers. If you have a second I would like to SHOW YOU SOMETHING that has made an amazing difference to my life…”

Maybe you should consider the same thing in your MLM Home Based Business.

Home Business Training- The 4 Phases of Growth for an MLM Team

July 16, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

home business phases

Home Business

Growth has Phases.

Just as the seasons are spring, summer, fall, and winter, so goes home based business. There is no secret that there are phases or seasons to any business growth.

Home based businesses are no exception.

Home business growth comes in a step by step, methodical growth.

It is called phases, or seasons.

You may disagree and think differently. But after 25 years in this profession, I can tell you that is the truth.

ALL MLM growth comes from seasons and phases of growth.

That is one of the best kept secrets in Network Marketing…it is a business of phases and growth…

What is a phase?

It is a period of time in your life that you go through and through those times you experience many things…one being growth…

Your MLM organization is no exception….it will go through 4 phases of growth…if you let it…

INFERNO Secret:

Most downlines never go through all 4 phases, as they get stuck in one and stay there…

BUT NOT YOU!!

You will stick with it and continue building your group till it reaches the phase you want it to be at…

OK….

The Four Growth Periods.

What are the 4 Phases of MLM organizational growth?

1) FRAGILE.

This Phase is the first period of time that you and your fledgling downline will go through….and it can be a rough one…

This period of time is where you are new, and really don’t know the business, your skin is not 2 inches thick, you have no prior experience in MLM, and you are on a major learning curve, and you will make mistakes….

This is where you are actually developing your belief and trust in the industry, and many things can shake your focus and belief….

Family.

Spouses.

Friends.

Co-workers.

Set Backs.

People telling you NO.

And the list goes on…

You really are fragile in this business, because you have not developed your “Success Muscles” to help you go on in face of adversity…and your group is as well…

This is where a lot of people quit…they never “get it” that you must grow beyond the Fragile Phase to build a business….

They got their feelings hurt constantly by their negative prospects…because they were in the Fragile phase and never grew beyond it….

In the Fragile stage is where most people quit, as they cannot take the Negatives and Disappointments that are innate to MLM and entrepeneurism…but their problem was NOT the negatives…

But their lack of understanding how to take them and what was REALLY happening with that kind of response….

2) SOLIDIFYING.

This second phase is where you have grown beyond the Fragile phase, and now your group is starting to grow more solid and be more consistent in Volume and paychecks…

In the Solidifying phase, you start to see some Leaders emerge, and volume becomes solid and steady….as well as paychecks start to get steady and consistent…

When your group moves into this phase, you will know it and sense it as well….your leaders will start to experience success as well as you and it is consistent…and you will see some leaders start to create their own identity in this business…

And you will sense some beginnings of momentum as well….

You will start to see some growth in your group that you had absolutely nothing to do with, and it will continue….

And you will see some new faces starting to show up in your group that you don’t know who they are, or their names….

THAT is when you will FEEL your group starting to Solidify….and that is where the majority of people quit…

80-90% of people who leave this business leave during the first 2 stages….and most leave during the first….

For a HOT Training Resource on Leadership Building: “Unleashing the Leadership in Your Downline” Click here for details.

The Money Phases.

3) MATURE.

This phase is where the big money starts showing up. You can make a living in the solidifying phase…a nice one…but this phase is where the big checks start showing up, and show up they do…not only for you, but also your leaders as well…

This phase is where you start to have “Layered Leadership” and that simply means you have Leaders in layers in your downline in many legs…and they now start to have Leaders showing up in their group as well….and the numbers in your group now number in the thousands, and many are active Leaders….

The Mature Phase also shows that your leaders have taught and duplicated how to build leaders in their group, and the dynamics of your group here become exciting as “Mature Pockets” start showing up and they no longer need you, as they have “splintered” into their own leadership organization…

This phase, $100,000 a year is commonplace…
And Millionaires to be start showing up….

4) ROCK SOLID.

This is the “WEALTH CREATION” Phase….this phase is where Wealth is created and accumulated and Millionaires roll up in this business….

This phase is where no matter what you do, you cannot mess up your business…and it will continue on in the event of your death…

The Rock Solid Phase is where also you have many Mature “Pockets” of distributors in your group, and now you have Mature Leaders that have big groups and many layers of Leadership…

Many people get close to this phase but never achieve it as they lack the Leadership skills to take it to this level…and many are close to it, but yet don’t understand it is that last 10% effort that most never give that determine the Rock Solid phase.

So those are the 4 phases of Organizational Growth in MLM….

Fragile, Solidifying, Mature, and Rock Solid.

Where do you see your group heading?

The answer to that will determine your future in MLM and Network Marketing…..

Blessings…

Home Business Social Media- 7 Reasons You Struggle with Social Media

July 15, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

home business networking

Social media

in a Home Business today is as much as part of the network marketing culture as prospecting or in home meetings.

Social networking is critical for finding good possible prospects in this profession today. I have used it for training efforts and it works well.

Home based business owners know that online recruiting is all part of today’s marketing efforts. But many times, social media marketing does not work very well for folks.

I have talked with many people who seem to be frustrated at social media as they say that they cannot find who they are looking for. And if they do, they do not stay.

MLM social media I have been teaching, (along with others in this business) for 6 years. There are reasons why it may not be working for you. We have identified 7 of them in our consulting with companies and teams, and these may be why you may be struggling with social media.

What are the 7 Reasons?

1) No Target to Shoot For.

Many folks have not target or goal that they are looking to hit. That is crazy. You need to have a set target and defined destination that you are looking to go.

It may be as simple as finding 2 new leads a day or expanding your communication with your clients like Southwest Airlines has done. But whatever it is, WRITE DOWN the target and then start moving towards the bull eye.

2) Expecting Miracles when a Message would do.

It is about your Message, not Miracles. I am a HUGE believer in Miracles, but in social media, it takes time for the Blueprint you have to take effect.

Miracles in 72 hours? Not gonna happen. But a strong message in 72 Minutes?

THAT is doable and a great start to a turn around miracle.

3) Connecting- but Lack of Personal Connection.

Connection in social media is important.

But PERSONAL CONNECTION is IMPERATIVE.

You must create that Connection that moves past the surface and create conversations that start to build a bridge of Trust.

That will do more for your follower count and friends than just about anything.

4) Providing Constant Volume but not Consistent Value.

Your messages, notes, posts, tweets, videos, and podcasts need to be Constant and regularly distributed. But without Consistent Value-people will quit reading them. You must be consistent in your posts. But also you must have VALUE in your posts. I send out posts and I effort to include a LOT of Value to the reader.

It is the same with you. EVEN-if you send out maintenance or utility posts, make sure they carry the Value to the prospect or reader-that will be appreciated and forwarded- not deleted and forgotten.

5) Trying to be Too many Places with Too Little Time.

Pick a social site and build there. My focus has always been pick 5 sites and stay there.

Automate everything else. You have ping.fm, and hellotxt.com, and other broadcast sites. Pick one of them, and then you can be on 75 sites or more daily.

But do it SMART.

Automate the sites with your messages and posts that you are not building relationships currently on. And build the relationships on the other social sites you are on. BUT- I recommend that you build a few relationships on EVERY social site you are working. This is only integrity. If you do that, your REACH in the home business profession expands drmatically.

Some people do not like broadcast social sites, but if you are a marketer, you better use them if you are going to create results over time.

6) Trying to be SEEN when You should be Helping Others to be Known.

You need to be a promoter on social sites.

Become a promoter of great material, and great value. I sent out over 10 links last week of things that rocked. Most of the folks I did not personally know who they were, but knew others could benefit.

What about you? Do you run across things that really impact you? Let others know about it.

Become a Power Promoter and promote others and not just yourself. It works better that way. If you let others know about great Value and Content of others, you will be SEEN, HEARD, and KNOWN quickly.

Trust me. It works.

7) Ambushing the Conversation instead of Amplifying the Connection.

Happened today. Someone connected with me about something I sent out, and the next thing I knew, I was being pitched a financial deal that I was shaking my head on. They were relentless, and after I politely cut them off, they said to me, “I knew this social media stuff was a bunch of hooey. It does not work and people are full of it if they think it does.”

Au contraire.

It DOES work as long as you do not hijack and ambush the conversation with what YOU can GET. And instead focus on what you can GIVE to folks that will help them.

If you do that, what you have to offer they will embrace.

We have been blessed to build a highly successful business on facebook alone- not counting anything else–totally under the radar –quietly–and without hype or ambushing anyone.

You can too- if you do not make these 7 mistakes that a lot of people are in their social media marketing for their home business.

Take each one of the challenges and check yourself on them. Are you making these mistakes? Are you in your MLM efforts really doing the things that will draw people towards you? Are you pushing to GET from social media or GIVE to social media?

Social media in network marketing is about GIVING.

G.I.V.E. means to “Gain Influence Very Easily.”

If you practice that alone, you will start becoming a social media master in your mlm home based business.

Home Business Social Media-The 7 Most Powerful Words To Use

July 14, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

home based business social media

In Home Business Social Media Marketing -Words carry a Power that usually is ignored. A Power that we can use.

Even more than we realize.

A home business today must be on social media. That is a given. if you are not with your home based business then you are working in the stone age.

Work at home professionals need to embrace and utilize the social networking arena for it;s powerful prospecting methods and potential for your home business.

If you can connect to this post, you will be way ahead of Most in the network marketing profession.

There are 7 words that are CRUCIAL to making your home business mlm social media marketing efforts successful, whether you own’a traditional business, a home business, or work for a business.

And many do not even know them let alone use them.

They can change your social media marketing to a powerful force in your branding efforts and beyond.

Sooooo….

What are they?

1) FREE.

Many folks in social media like free gifts. They like free content. They like free podcasts. They like free videos. They like free content.

So you need to start using the word FREE in your tweets, vids, posts, podcasts and blogs. WHAT is free? That is for you to decide, but it can be an ebook, a report, an mp3, a CD, a DVD, or anything that the people will find of value to their life.

“Here is a FREE mp3 that i recorded last night and thought you might enjoy. Hope you like it and let me know what your thoughts are as i am looking to improve it. Thanks!”

2) GIVE.

This is a biggie. It is CRUCIAL that you GIVR and use the word GIVE in your communications. It is called a “trigger word.” This is a word that triggers psychologically in the brain to create some kind of emotion or feeling. GIVE is a powerful concept in social media marketing.

Especially what you are giving away is FREE.

“I am giving away today a FREE ebook that will help you in your Success efforts. I want you to have it as I know you will like it. Here is the link for it and let me know how you enjoy it as always looking for ways to improve. Thanks!”

3) TRUST.

This is another huge one as we build bridges of trust with people and their friends. Use the word trust in what you do. Use the word trust in posts, mp3s, videos, and any other communication. Put it FRONT and CENTER and let people know that is your focus. You are looking to be trusted and you sare looking to trust back.

“My goal is to build trust with people before they ever do any business with me as that is critical. Integrity is the foundation of trust and that is how i operate and always will.”

4) VALUE.

People will do more for Value than you think. And people are smarter than you think. They KNOW value and what is NOT Value. Your focus in social media marketing is to provide VALUE in your communication and use the word in all you do. Your FOCUS should be VALUE and a lot of it.

What people talk about is Value. What people are seeking is Value. What people are DEMANDING is Value and you must be the Value Freak in what you do in social media.

“And my goal is to create such an amazing Value in this video that you will watch it over and over and learn something new each time you watch it. All I ask is you let people know what you have discovered in this video and share it with others.”

5) LOVE.

Love is a strong word that people do not use enough. i know i know. I can hear it now-“Doug is getting hairy fairy.” LOL Nope. Just telling you the truth. if you believe in something string enough- you need to let people know that you love it. if you are convinced that your product is the best that exists on the planet-let them knwo you love it. if you are sure that the relationships you are building in social media are powerful and life changing, let people know that you love that part about social media. if you are a home business professional and LOVE what you do- shout it out and rock the world with it.

Love is a powerful life changing word and when you use it- EYES ARE DRAWN TOWARDS IT- instinctively.

“I LOVE this mp3/video/ebook/report/post even if I did do it. It has a LOT of great content on it that can change lives. I want you to have it as a gift and i look forward to talking to you about it as I know you will love it too. I love giving things away for free-hope you like it!”

6) SECRET.

Everyone likes a good secret that cannot be kept. And if you are any marketing effort, you need to let peo;ple know that you know a secret that they do not. Why? Fear of loss. Curiosity builder. Wanting to be a part of the in the know crowd. Hope of gain. and ther are other reasons as well. But when you use the word SECRET- BAM! Every one’s heads turn-and they are thinking- “Tell me pleasssee!” And we have used it for years as that truly does set you apart form the masses…

IF and ONLY IF you have a secret that no one else has about your endeavor, Success, leadership, social media marketing, home business success, or internet marketing, or anything else that you are working. Be unique and one of a kind. OWN the Secret-don’t just repeat it. Old news is still old news. Get creative and let the secrets flow.

“I have discovered a secret about skin care that ia amazing and wanted to give it to you. Here is a link to a video that will tell you the secret of looking 10 years younger in little or no time. And all I ask is that you share it with other you know as it will help them too as well. Here is the secret link….”

7) THEIR NAME.

Enough said.

Their name is music to their ears. It is honey to their soul. It is sugar in their tea. I ALWAYS use the persons name or nickname in communication in the very first couple of words.

It is an EYE MAGNET.

It attracts their eyes to move towards their name and then you are guaranteed that your communication will be at least scanned. Use their name at the end too. I call it “bookending.” It works and lets them know that you appreciate who they are.

These are the 7 most powerful words that you can use in social media. of course there are more.

What other words can you suggest in your social media marketing for your Home based business?

There are so man y ways to say things- make sure YOU GET HEARD.

I would suggest that you sit down and think long and hard about what you are saying and doing in the social media zone. If you do the right things, and say thr right things, you will have built right your mlm home business.

Home Business -WHAT IT REALLY TAKES to Succeed in Network Marketing

July 8, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

Home based decision

What it REALLY Takes…

There are only 2 types of distributors in the home business profession:

1. Those that are Succeeding.

2. Those that are NOT.

I am not sure which one you are in, but regardless, you are one of the two.

Recently on a radio show, Iwas asked what it REALLY took to succeed in a home business. Fair question. I thought for a minute and I said that there was all of the expected answers:

Belief.

Leadership.

Focus.

Discipline.

Skill Set.

ETC.

But I said that wile all those are crtical, I fel that what is really the most important determining factor was rarely taught or even discussed. After 25 years in a profession, you observe, and learn, and then determine the facts as they are. We all do it. You do it. But we still have a tendency to keep to the more traditional answers as they are more accepted.

I believe that what it REALLY takes to succeed in Network Marketing is one thing:

A DECISION.

Plain And simple.

Most people choose to TRY this business, NOT Decide to Succeed in it. Most people join a company, but not decide to become a PART OF THE VISION.

A Decision is unalterable and is unstoppable. A choice can be changed like your clothes. A Decision is from the heart. A choice is from the mind and is fleeting like most thoughts.

DECIDE and then let the POWER UNLEASHED by your Decision carry your business to higher levels of success.

A person will respond to a person that has made a Decision to succeed much more positive than someone who has chosen to “see what happens” with there business. It is what they are FEELING from your Decision- a Power that will not be DENIED. There is little power in choice- only selection.

Choice determines direction… Decision determines DESTINY.

Decide. Plain and simple. Those that choose… generally lose. Those that Decide… get the prize.

How simple.

That is what it REALLY TAKES to succeed in an MLM and Network Marketing Home business.
