What is Your Business?

Interesting question isn't it? Maybe you have a home business, own a franchise, you're an internet marketer, you're just an employee working a job. This questions applies to all who earn an income. What is your business?

I know what you're probably thinking. I sell nutritionals, information, stocks, real estate, etc. The list could go on forever, but is this your business. Think about it real hard, I had to when I was first asked about it.

Still thinking? If you are in a true business of any kind and you take pride in what you do, then your real business is people. That's right, people. Think about it for a minute. Without people would you even have a business? Probably not. How do others become wealthy? People.

Are you succeeding in your business or do you want more success in your business? Then take your focus off of your "stuff" and put the focus where it should be, on the people. Do an experiment this week and focus more on people then on what you sell and see what happens at the end of the week. Focus on helping them, aiding them, or just pointing them in the right direction.

How do you think your customers or prospects would feel if you would point them in the right direction, even if it's not with you. Do you think they would trust you a little more and remember the experience? Who knows, maybe they would even come back to you if they have a bad experience somewhere else.

That's your assignment for the week - focus on people. See how it affects not only your business, but you. Let me know how things worked out for you. I know you'll be surprised at the results. You deserve the best, but you must also give the best.

Until next time,

Ralph

It's 2008! Are You Ready?

Welcome to the year 2008! You made it one more year and this will be your best year yet. This year you will build a foundation of success that will last a lifetime and beyond. This is the time for you to lay the groundwork for leaving your legacy.

Are you ready to take action? I'm ready to take you and give you what you need to help your success show up. So how did your 2007 end? I hope on a great note, but now it's time to go to work. What are you going to do this day, week, month, year that will be different? Do you even want your life to be different or do you want to continue struggling to get by or having more month at the end of your money? Not me. I deserve more, my family deserves more and YOU deserve more.

If you are already involved in network marketing/mlm and haven't had the success that you desire or you have not yet found a company to get started with, then you need to learn the way the successful do it. I am part of a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who are learning that there is a better way to make money in this industry or any industry for that matter. How would you like to learn how to make money in your business the same way Oprah, Michael Jordan, HBO, Verizon Wireless, etc. make money in theirs?

Want to know more, then I have some free goodies to give you so that you can learn more. We have nightly calls, Monday through Thursday and you will get more from these free training calls then you might pay for from other sources. Visit my website or get back to me to get the free stuff that I have for you.

This is the start of the new year and a new year. If you desire more, then you have to be more. You must be a resource to others as I am learning to do. I know this will be the best year of my life. How about you? Whether you decide to take a look or not, just think about what you are going to do this year to make it different from all the rest.

Until next time. Thank you, thank you.

The Death of NetworkMarketing

Hi Again...

Ralph here...

I just got an email about Ellie Drake's and Mike Filsaime's Free Report called - "The Death of NetworkMarketing"

I will admit, like you may also be feeling now, that I thought it was some hyped up offer to get me to buy something...

...Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes that Network Marketing may be dying.

When I read this, I immediately thought of sharing it on my blog

The times are changing for us and it would be a shame for you or anyone to not read this report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from whatever it is you are doing if you can and get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now...

Thanks,

Ralph

PS - Mike and Ellie say it will only be available for a few days or so, so do not delay...

What a week!

Wow, what a crazy week! As you can tell this is my first post in about a week or so. My computer decided to crash on me on Sunday. This put me without a computer until I could get another one. I decided to go ahead and purchase a new one and get my other one fixed for my kids to use.

I'm still trying to get used to this new Vista operating system. It is quite different from XP. If you have any tips that will help figure it out faster I certainly would appreciate it.

As far as my networking business is concerned, I kind of took it easy this week. I was trying to prepare for our Thanksgiving get together with my family. I trust that you all had a great Thanksgiving and are getting geared up for Christmas.

I'm now trying my hand at the world of pay per click advertising. Anyone else using this with any success? There is obviously a lot to learn in this field of marketing. I just wish that all of this stuff would have been shown to me by my sponsor when I first got started.

I'm now learning that the old way of making your list and bombarding them is not the way to do it. Granted, you want your family and friends to know about your business and your products, but you have a vested interested and they will not look at it any other way. That's just the way it is. If you want to approach them about the business, wouldn't it make more sense to work really hard and become successful very fast and have them come to you and ask you what the heck you are doing? I think this is the way to go. Sure some might be disappointed that you didn't tell them before, but it's my experience that most of our family and friends don't really care in the beginning anyway. Most of them will only try or buy our product or get involved just to get us off their backs.

Lesson for today: get radically successful with your business first and your friends and family will come running to you to find out what you are doing to change your life so dramatically. Then, when they decide to join you you will know exactly how to get them started so that they can become successful too.

Enjoy your weekend,

Ralph
FREE Training Series!

Another week gone by in my MLM life!

Wow, what a week it was. Having a very full-time job during the day, taking care of my 3 kids at night and still trying to build a successful MLM/Network marketing business is very hard. It may be hard, but I am determined to succeed no matter what for the sake of myself, my family and all the others that might be touched by my business.

As I said in another post, I am trying to learn as many ways to build as possible. I've come across so many great resources and I've found so many things I am in the process of implementing. I know that learning is great, but without application it's worthless.

One of the ways I continue to learn is to load my MP3 player up with education, not always music. I love to listen to Zig Ziglar and other inspirational speakers. I also like to find MLM/Network Marketing tips that I can listen to. Many leaders now have podcasts that are updated weekly for our benefit. Some of the ones I've been listening to lately have been from Todd Falcone and the guys from the MLM Radio Show. Great stuff.

I've also recently purchased some great courses to help me build my business using many new techniques. I still realize that it's all about forming a relationship with people. I'm now finally learning that if you help people see how they can build a business before they get started with your business, they will trust you and believe that you are a leader and more apt to join you. If you would like to get some free video training click here. I believe we need to help each other in this great industry and help change the world one person at a time.

Until next time, have a great weekend.

Weekend Learning

I hope that you all had a great and prosperous weekend in your MLM/Network Marketing business. This was a pretty laid back weekend gearing up for the start of the holiday season. I guess that now is the time to really get busy, but are people receptive to starting a business during this time of the year?

The company that I'm involved with has a great promotion for those distributors who reach a couple of guidelines in the next few months. I'm aiming to qualify for this promotion, but I'm kind of worried that recruiting will be hindered or slowed down over the next couple of months due to the hustle and bustle of the holidays. What do you guys think? What is your experience?

I was also introduced to another great tool that I can see will help me build my business as well as anyone that gets involved with me. At first I thought that this was just another one of those funded proposal things, but once I took a really good look and saw all that was involved, I was absolutely blown away. If I only get half of the success that some of the others that have used this system have had, then I'm looking at a great rest of 2007 and the 2008 that I'm dreaming about. You can see this system here and get the FREE ebook here. You owe it to yourself to at least read the ebook, whether you are already in a company or not. I think it will open your eyes and possibly change the way you do business.

I'll keep you posted on how this system is helping me build my primary business and what I experience as I go. If you have any great resources let me know so we can help our fellow networkers. As many of you may or may not know, we are headed for some very hard economic times and I believe that any and all of those who can offer others a solution are going to be in the big time. I hope that you are involved in a home business and are helping others realize that you have the solution to their problems.

Good luck to you all. Until next time.

Just another day?

I didn't know how hard it would be to try and build a full-time income in my MLM company while still working a full-time JOB and being a solo parent to my 3 great kids in the afternoon/evenings.

I've found many new and exciting resources to use to help me with my time disadvantage as well as some great tools to help me learn as I'm listening. I'm very excited about how these could help me and they might help you too, if you need some great resources and tools, many which are free!

As I come across more and learn more about the ones that I've found, I will post them here so that you, too, can learn and grow and reach your dreams in your MLM/Network Marketing business. Isn't that what this great industry is all about anyway? Helping others.

One of the first great resources that I found you can visit here. This guy has a great presence and voice. Most of his resources are free and very worthwhile. Check it out and we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Peace out and good luck to you all.
