TAX DOLLARS CAN FUND YOUR HOME BUSINESS

Most governments give huge tax incentives to people engaged in home business. This is because it is good for the economy. Employment is a political issue for governments. They encourage people to start small businesses that hopefully will grow into big corporations some day. This is why governments give huge tax breaks if you start your own home business. If you are a paid employee on a fixed income it is always smart to start a part time home business to take advantage of the tax incentives provided by the government.

What most people do not realize is that the biggest chunk of cash out flow from their pocket is the taxes. These can range anywhere from 20% to 55% of the income. This is huge in terms of dollars. When you engage in network marketing business you can claim cost of travel, communications, entertainment, office stationary, advertising and even products that you buy through auto-ship (for promotion) as legitimate business expense. You can also claim part of your rent/mortgage, electricity and water bills as legitimate expenses as you are using your home as office. You can also claim depreciation on office furniture, car, computer, fax machine and other accessories that you need for your home business. You can also register for GST and claim back the GST that you have paid on purchase of items related to your business. Please speak with your local tax consultant before you embark on this course because tax laws are different in each country.

What these tax breaks do is give you huge cash flow to run your business. You can claim back on the taxes paid and get a refund to run your business. In case there are unrecovered losses then these can be forward to the next year and claimed back when your business starts to generate income.

In most cases the tax incentives are so generous that they can fund your business in the initial stages. What most people do not realize is that when you take tax incentives into account the break even point of your business is much closer than you think.

Please do not join network marketing just to get tax refunds. You have to be active in the business to claim refunds otherwise the taxman will come knocking on your doors. Having said that tax incentives provide a huge motivation to start your home based business and save on those dollars that will invariably go to the taxman never to be seen again. Network marketing is without doubt the best route to start your own home business and get on to the road to financial freedom. It is the best program if you are looking for an early retirement.

Make sure your team members succeed. When you help them make money, they will help YOU make money!

THE POWER OF COMPUNDING IN NETWORK MARKETING

If you throw in the towel after just a few weeks or months of not receiving favorable results then there is no chance of you making any money in the network marketing business. It takes time to master any sort of techniques that will bring you an income. People who go “opportunity hopping” rather than commit to learning how to market one opportunity correctly will remain broke.

I have met many “network marketers” who give up on opportunities when they meet slightest amount of problems. They want to make easy money. They jump from one opportunity to another hoping against hope that they will hit a gold mine. They continue to sing the same song and dance the same dance, each time with a NEW company’s name behind their act? The truth is that such people have ZERO INTEGRITY.

By ‘opportunity hopping’ these people sabotage their OWN ability to make any money regardless of what business opportunity they join. They also confuse the people whom they sponsor with their confused state of mind. Either you have to be consistent or learn to accept being broke.


NETWORK MARKETING WORKS ON COMPOUNDING PRINCIPLE

UNFOTUNATELY MOST PEOPLE DO NOT COMPREHEND HOW THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING ACTUALLY WORKS.

Albert Einstein, who had perhaps one of the finest mind in the history of mankind, once remarked “One of the most amazing phenomenon of our universe is the power of compounding”. It is equally amazing that so few fully understand either its power or application.
For ease of understanding let us take an example. Suppose you start your network marketing business by sponsoring one person in the first month. Imagine too that you teach/help this person to sponsor one person. Let us say this teaching and sponsoring process takes one month. In month two if you personally sponsor one more person and the person whom you sponsored in the first month also sponsors one person then you will have 4 people in your team. In month three you will have 8 persons in your team through sponsoring and training. If the same process is repeated month after month your organization will grow in the following manner:-

Month 1: You + 1 = 2
Month2: 2 +2 = 4
Month3: 4+4 = 8
Month 4: 8+8 = 16
Month 5: 16+16 = 32
Month 6: 32+32 = 64
Month 7: 64+64 = 128
Month8: 128+128 = 256
Month9: 256+256 = 512
Month10: 512+512 =1024
Month 11: 1024+1024 = 2048
Month12: 2048+2048 = 4096

If you observe the table you will find that after three months your team has only 8 members. Nothing exciting. You might be subsiding your purchases. But wait…..sixth month you organization will grow to 64. You will be earning a little money to sustain your interest but NO BIG DEAL. Your life and financial future have not changed. On completion of 9 months your team has now grown to 512. Now for the first time you are seeing the fruits of your labour. There is a renewed understanding that the business actually works. The fun is not over …… in the 12th month your organization is taking a life of its own. It has now grown to 4096. Each member of your team is trying to secure his/her financial future. Your organization is not only big but growing at a faster rate without much effort from you. Your passive income is flowing in ever greater amounts each month. You feel rich for the first time in your life. The essential fact is that during the 12 month period you have only sponsored 12 people into the business and trained them to conduct the business properly. The remainder of your network has been created through power of leverage. In the first month your organization had just two people in it. In the twelfth month it grew by 2048 people for the same effort on your part. This is the amazing power of compounding in network marketing.

If compounding and growing a network is so simple then why don’t most people succeed? The reason is very simple but most people don’t get it ………. the power of networking and compounding takes time to take effect.

The Tunneling Effect

In network marketing when you first start out, all the hard work takes place upfront, at the beginning. You have nothing to show for your effort. This is called the ‘Tunneling Effect’. There is darkness all around and little hope. This is where most people give up because they do not see any results for their sacrifice, hard work and effort. Most people who come to network marketing come from jobs where they are paid by the hour. They are accustomed to seeing a direct correlation between the hours they have worked and the compensation they have received. If they worked 5 hours they expect 5 hours pay. In a network marketing business one has to think like an entrepreneur. When an entrepreneur starts a business there is a gestation period. He knows that profits will flow in due course of time if the business is set up correctly. An entrepreneur works one hundred hours and gets paid nothing. And once the business is set up he can work five hours and get paid for one thousand hours. People in jobs who enter network marketing have to go through a shift in mental attitude. Initially network marketing does not pay you by the hour. If there is little patience and perseverance at this stage then there is not only light at the end of the tunnel but full glory of the sun. Anyone who has become rich has passed through this dark tunnel. There is no escaping it.

In network marketing you have to learn and teach people to take a long-time approach to the growth of their business. It takes time to grow organizations. It takes time to create depth and ongoing duplication. It takes time to develop a team and create serious residual income. Those who can develop and maintain a mind set of an entrepreneur understand this and succeed. Those who fail to grasp this simple truth fail in this business.

IN NETWORK MARKETING YOU ARE LIKE A ROCKET THAT BURNS 90% OF ITS FUEL AT THE TAKE OFF STAGE. ONCE YOU ARE IN ORBIT IT IS CRUISE CONTROL. IT WILL TAKE TIME AND EFFORT ON YOUR PART TO SUSTAIN AND GROW YOUR BUSINESS IN THE INITIAL STAGES.

Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world, remarked about his wife when he was building his wealth “Susie didn't get very excited when I told her we were going to get rich. She either didn't care or didn't believe me - probably both, in fact.” You can read the biography of any wealth creator and you will find in it the universal truth of the ‘tunneling effect’ and how they wanted to quit but didn’t. In network you will never make it if you quit before you reach the critical mass. Then the real fun starts.

Critical Mass

If you persist and as the time goes on the critical mass kicks in and things get better. Your network becomes self perpetuating. It starts growing under its own steam. The challenge at this stage is not to change course. The problem with the human mind is that it loses focus very quickly. It gets attracted to other thought and ideas. It will start looking at other options. The key here is to maintain focus. Compounding is boring -- b-o-r-i-n-g. It is boring until the money starts to pour in. Then, believe me, compounding becomes very interesting. In fact, it becomes downright fascinating! Compounding if allowed to continue will take your wealth to unlimited levels.

Ninety percent of the people drop out from network marketing because they do not fully appreciate the power of compounding. They get discouraged when facing the tunneling effect and quit. They don’t understand that light is just around the corner. Dogged persistence is a great quality to have if you want to succeed.

Compounding Only Works through Time

The great thing about network compounding is that anyone can do it. Compounding is the royal road to riches. Compounding is the safe road and the sure road. To compound successfully you need the following: perseverance in order to keep you firmly on the path of creating a successful network. And you need time, time to allow the power of compounding network to work for you. Remember, compounding only works through time. Time in fact is the most powerful element in the process of compounding. Nothing comes close to it.
It takes time, effort, practice and patience to become good at network marketing and build a business. Don’t quit when the success is around the corner. Above all stay FOCUSED.

MONAVIE - PLACEMENT OF BOTTLES STRATEGY

One of the strategies of growing your Monavie business is to let the juice do the talking. MonaVie is such an outstanding product that it will sell itself. This is called the product first approach. You have to get your friends and family, business builders and those who have health issues started on the juice. You can also gift bottles to your clients or friends on festive occasions or when you are invited to dinner/party. Monavie is an excellent gift that is beneficial to health.

The best way to get people started on the product is to make them buy 3 cases of Monavie. This is because it takes anywhere from one to three months to see the effect of the juice on your body. A person may not get the desired results from consuming just one bottle. However selling or gifting one bottle is better than not getting people started on the juice. If you want to make some money in the process……the trick is to buy 12 cases in Bulk so that the cost of each case gets reduced by more than 50% of the recommended retail price. You will not only recover the cost of your juice but will also give a great boost to your business.

Before gifting or selling juice it is important for you to give complete information regarding the product and how to drink the juice to derive full benefit from the product. There are whole lot of documents that give full information regarding the product and you can download from the Team Abundance web site from the following link:

http://www.theabundanceteam.com/content/view/26/77/

I have attached two documents that I give to my prospective clients to get them started on the juice. The important thing is to open the bottle and get them to taste the juice in your presence. If you do not do this there is a good chance that the bottle will keep lying in a closet for days and will serve no purpose. Worst still your client may gift the bottle away to someone else. Next important thing is to follow up the very next day to check if they are drinking the juice correctly. You should then follow up regularly giving to 2 to 3 days breaks in between.

If you get people started on the juice and follow up correctly your business will expand rapidly. This is a tried and time tested method.

The fastest way to grow your business is to INVITE TASTE SHARE this amazing product. SHARING means sharing your experience and giving full information.

HOW TO LEVERAGE YOUR TIME AND EFFORT IN NETWORK MARKETING


Every network marketing company boasts of a compensation plan that creates passive income through leverage. Yet majority of people who join the business fail because they do not understand how leveraging works. Most people fail because their focus is on Recruit, Recruit, Recruit, numbers, numbers, numbers……it is a race against time and others to recruit before someone else does. Now you have hundreds of recruits who don’t know where they are going. You don’t have time either to build relationships or train so many of them. They are left helpless on their own. They start dropping out in hoards. You are back again Recruit, Recruit, Recruit……… This is definitely not leveraging your time or effort.

There are marketers who can recruit dozens, even hundreds, of people through the motivation of greed. But when it comes to something sensible and worthwhile, they shy away from becoming involved. This is because they think network market is just a numbers game. They tell their new recruits that they will have spill overs in their downline. That there is no work involved. Lies, Lies, Lies and more Lies……..With this kind of thinking they will attract recruiters who think the same way. No wonder a culture of ‘no work’ sets into the organization and the network collapses. They are now back to Recruit, Recruit, Recruit through more greed and lies.

If you have to leverage then you have to Sponsor, Sponsor, Sponsor……. and …. Retain, Retain, Retain…….. There is a BIG difference between a recruiter and a person who sponsors. A recruiter is interested only in numbers. The sponsor on the other hand takes upon himself the responsibility for the growth and the welfare of the person he has sponsored.

PEOPLE WHO TREAT THEIR NETWORK AS NUMBERS NEVER SUCCEED IN THIS BUSINESS. TO SUCCEED YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER YOUR NETWORK CONSISTS OF HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE HOPES, DREAMS AND DESIRES. THEY HAVE INADQUACIES, PROBLEMS AND FINANCIAL NEEDS. THEY NEED YOUR HELP TO SUCCEED. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO COACH AND HELP THEM WITH A SERVANT’S HEART THEY WILL DELIVER RESULTS BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS

What is the best way to develop a solid marketing force that never leaves your network? Sponsor a few key people at a time. Give them your full time and support. Build relationships. Help them to succeed in the business and train them to do the same. You have to build your network market on the right principles to succeed. There are no short cuts. Are you willing to take the responsibility to becoming a sponsor? If so then please read on……..

There are people who will tell you “Just recruit a lot of distributors. You’ll get at least a few good ones that way.” Few leaders will emerge along the way and your work is done. You can then have all the passive income you need. Leaders don’t emerge in business. You have to find talent and develop them. Once in a while you can get lucky but that does not happen very often. You can’t leave your business to chance if you wish to succeed.

The bottom line: Leverage is mandatory for wealth creation, and you will NOT become wealthy without it. You are either exercising the power of leverage for yourself, or you are serving as leverage for someone else, and building their wealth for them.

To apply leverage you have to find a network marketing company that has a very strong training and personal development program. Please also look at the credentials of the person who wishes to sponsor you. Is he committed to your success? Does your upline have requisite support systems for your training and success? Avoid companies that boast of automated recruiting system to increase numbers. You never build a network by merely having a recruiting system. Your network will collapse. To increase retention you have to have a proper support organization and training that builds relationships. Do not join a company that focuses on recruiting and numbers.

Next important thing is that people must see value in the product. Many network marketing companies fail because they do not have a product that can sustain the business. You can’t fool all people at all times. Network marketing is a relationship business that is built on good faith and recommendation. You just cannot build a strong belief system based on a weak product. Monavie has gone from zero to over a billion dollars in sales within three years. Even Microsoft took seven years to reach a billion dollars in sales. This is because of the product. The product sells itself because of its intrinsic value and as a result retention rates of distributors in the business are very high. Leverage can work only when retention rates are high.

Lastly and most importantly people want a fair compensation for their effort in the business. There are network marketing companies that distribute only 10% to 30% of the total revenue to the distributors. The success of Monavie is because the company is committed to distributing 50% of the Group Volume (GV) to its distributors. This is unprecedented in network marketing. No wonder people stay in the business because they make money. Some compensation plans are heavily loaded in favor of the ‘heavy hitters’ or the people who reach higher levels in the business. These plans do not adequately compensate the new distributors for their effort in the business. This results in new distributors getting disillusioned and dropping out. This is very bad for the business. For leveraging to work retention is the golden key. To succeed in network marketing the business model or the compensation plan has to work correctly. Initial cost of joining the business, risk involved, return on investment (ROI) and the breakeven point have to be properly balanced out. The new distributors will stay in business if they can recoup their initial investment in the shortest possible time and start making profit from the business. Monavie has an excellent new generation binary compensation plan that pays distributors in eight ways. The plan is not only generous but also very equitable and rewards those who put effort into their business. There is also a very huge potential to build passive income rapidly. New distributors can recoup their initial investment and can be in profit within few weeks of joining the business. This makes great business sense because the retention levels are very high and the leveraging power of the business kicks in.

Leveraging which is the basic principle behind network marketing can work only if the network you create has the power not only to sustain itself through high retention rate but also to expand itself exponentially once it is created and set up correctly. This can happen if there are right kind of training and support systems, belief in the quality of the product and a fair, equitable and generous compensation plan in which new distributors can start earning money in the shortest possible time.

Network marketing is a recommendation business and not a sales business

Network marketing means sharing and transference of your enthusiasm for a product or service. It is a business that works on recommendation of a product that you use and are excited about. When you see a good movie and have enjoyed watching it you speak about it to all your friends. You transfer your enthusiasm to your friends. They go and watch the movie because of their trust in your judgment. If they enjoy the movie then they will further spread the word to other friends and the viewership of the movie grows. Unfortunately you don’t get paid for spreading the word. Network marketing works in a similar fashion. The only difference is that you get paid for spreading the word.

The fact is you have done word-of-mouth advertising, every day, since you were a child. You told your mom & dad what you loved and wanted, your favorite ice cream, jeans, baseball bat, books, movies, restaurants, all kinds of things. You’ve been promoting products since about age 5. But you’ve never got paid for it. The only difference is that with network marketing you get paid every time you recommend someone the product that you love to use. The best part of this business is that you will get checks from this business 25 years from now for a product you recommend to someone today! Isn't that incredible?

NETWORK MARKETING IS A TEACHING & MENTORING BUSINESS

Most people think that network marketing is direct sales business. Nothing can be further from truth. Network marketing is a teaching & mentoring business. Your product is people. So study people. Find out how you can help them reach their dreams. THEIR dreams. Not your dreams. The secret to success is to Build people. People will build the business. When you build people, your retention rate goes through the roof. The Bottom line is to get a good product or service to sell. THEN focus on helping OTHER people reach their dreams.

It’s a LISTENING business. It's a TEACHING/MENTORING business. You have to reach the hearts of others who need help. You have to mentor for free. You have to exist to mentor & coach others into success. Not your success. Their success should be a beautiful thing to you.

If you can help them create success, then your future will take care of itself. I love network marketing because this is the only business in the world where you succeed by mentoring and helping others to succeed. In any other business there is competition to succeed. You have to outsmart the competition to succeed. Not in network marketing. This business is as spiritual as it can get. Mentoring others gives worth and meaning to our lives. It drives us. This is the secret to success.

Why do some people succeed in network marketing, while Other’s NEVER Do?”

The answer to this simple question is that successful people make the effort to understand what really makes people tick? What motivates them? Why they make the choices they make?

The first rule of mentoring is to find out your personal "WHY", YOU need to know how motivated you are to do whatever it takes to be successful. You don’t only have to find out but also have to write it down. If you are not willing to pay THAT small price then you will not succeed in this business or for that matter in any business. If you cannot write your “WHY” then you will quit this business at the first hurdle. It is the power of “WHY” that will keep you going in your business, no matter what you come up against. Write down at least three of reasons of your “WHY”, then think some more. Flush them out. Make them bigger. Work on them until you say, “THIS is it!”. Then you're really in business! Before you can mentor others you must learn to mentor yourself. If you do not know your own “Why” then you cannot mentor others to find out their “WHY”. If you take the effort to know the “WHY” of your prospects they will choose YOU over all other 550 home business options available to them. Finding out the “WHY” is the first step and most important step to success in this business.

So the first bit of mentoring is to figure out your own "WHY". Write it down. Test it mentally. It is your “”WHY” that will keep you going in VERY tough times. Remember "WHY" is never money. It's about who YOU really are.
The driving factor is always greater than the money. Money is just an instrument to achieve “WHY”.

Some tips to help you pinpoint your "WHY":

•Do you wish to spend more time with your family and loved ones?
•What do you wish to accomplish.…………… Live in a bigger house or drive a Ferrari?
•What are your personal growth objectives? Do you wish to travel, learn to dance, paint or sing?
•What scares you to death? Is it financial insecurity?
•What would it mean to you to help others change their lives?
•What really excites you in life? Is it Adventure?
•What would you like to give the people you love most?
•What really, really gets you emotional? What is it that makes you tick in life?

If you can learn to mentor “What motivates the person you sponsor to get up off his couch? What gets him to turn the TV off? Then you are on to a winner. You will succeed 99.9% of the time. If you want to succeed in this business first find out what your dreams are and what are the dreams of the people whom you wish to sponsor into the business.

Dreams create hope. Goals create focus. And focus creates fuel that propels us to action.

You teach people in this business to rediscover their dreams. The difference between their perceived past failures and their future success is this moment. Teach them to actively work toward their desired future without fear and doubt, and there is no limit to their earning potential. They must never compromise on the lifestyle that they wish to create for themselves and their family. It is their birthright to live an abundant life. It is the power of your mentoring that will help you succeed in this business.

Network is a "relationship-driven" business

People join people. They don't join companies. They don’t care about who the president of the company is or how well the company is being run. You will be surprised to learn that initially they don’t even care about the product. The only thing they care about is you because they can relate to you. They can trust you. No matter how good the products or services, no matter how well-managed the company, you will struggle and go broke if you do not know how to build relationships.

You build relationships when you genuinely care about people. Relationships are developed when you help others to grow physically, mentally, spiritually and financially. You may forget big names in history and politics but you always remember the names of your teachers who helped you through school, friends who gave a helping hand when your chips were down or people who made you feel appreciated and special. You have to have empathy and you have to be yourself. You will fail if you try to be someone else other than yourself. The three things that destroy relationships are when you try and gain control over others, be self righteous and judgmental. Help others with all you have got and the universe will conspire to help you succeed. Practice abundance. It is the essence of relationships. Learn to listen and you will learn more about yourself and foster lifelong relationships.

There is only ONE way to build your network web for life-long success. And that is to build relationships. To do that, you need to become a mentor with a servant's heart. When you do, people will ask you to PLEASE sponsor them into your business. If you build your relationships right then your network will last forever. If you treat your business like just another income source, Direct-Marketing-style, you're trading long-term stability for short-term profit. Your network will collapse.

Direct marketers sell products directly to the consumer. Direct marketers measure their productivity in numbers. Their philosophy is Buy, or get out of the way. To Direct Marketers, "relationship-marketing" has a bottom-line VALUE. If they can help they will like to automate relationship-building. Looks 100% real, but it's plastic. If you think like a direct marketer you will fail in this business. If you build relationships and become a mentor with a servant’s heart you will succeed.

It is simple. If you and me work together we will create an effect much greater than the sum of the parts. Network marketing (MLM) is not a numbers game it is a relationship game. Relationship building is the process. It is network marketing.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT NETWORK MARKETING OPPORTUNITY

Majority of people choose an opportunity without any research. This is because you are approached by a family or friend about a business opportunity and you join because of your love and trust in the relationship. In 99% of the cases the person who is sponsoring you has done no due diligence regarding the company. It is like blind pushing the blind. The result is invariably a catastrophe. Please remember what you are getting into is a business. It is about money. It is about your time, effort and sweat. It is about your future and the future of your loved ones. It depends upon the quality of your decision. So please choose carefully and intelligently.

# THE COMPANY YOU CHOOSE MUST HAVE THE MANAGEMENT WITH RIGHT EXPERIENCE AND INTEGRITY

This is very important. The reason why Warren Buffet is the most successful investor is because when he buys stocks of a company he looks at the men behind the company. It is always people behind the company who are the wealth creators. If the management is weak or lacks integrity, the business will fail. So when you decide to join a network marketing company do some research on the people behind the company?

It is the distributors who are the real stars of the company. If the distributors were not present the company will have no sales. Yet there are companies who look to compensation plans that increase the company profits at the expense of the distributors. They look to create breaks in the compensation plan so that they can stop paying distributors if they become too successful. People join network marketing companies to create residual income. But when they wish to retire, some companies feel that ‘why should we continue paying them if they are doing no work’. So they look for ways and means to terminate the contract. They insert clauses in the fine print of terms and conditions (which nobody reads at the time of becoming a distributor) that the company has the right to terminate the contract if there are no ongoing sales or sponsoring or if the person does not attend the company sponsored meetings. Sometimes they reserve the right to terminate the contract without assigning any reason. They also add a clause that you can be no part of class action law suit. In other words you can’t even sue them if they terminate your contract. This is like someone taking away your income achieved through lifetime of work. This is stealing. Such actions speak of very low integrity. Never become part of such a company. Read the fine print in terms and conditions before signing up to become a distributor.

The management must have the experience to take the company to a new level as the business grows. They must have the ability to guide the company during hard times. If the company fails to adapt and survive the changing times and economic conditions so will you. If the company performs well then your business will grow exponentially as a result.

In our case Brad Sugars (our sponsor) who is a business coach par excellence and has the fastest growing business mentoring franchise in the world had done a thorough research on the credentials and management of MonaVie. He visited the factories and met the management to get first hand information about the company and people behind the company. A man of his position and stature cannot lend his name to a company without thorough research.

We joined MonaVie because of our faith in the judgment of Brad Sugars. Our faith in experience and integrity of the management of Monavie has proved correct because the business turnover has quadrupled since we joined eighteen months back. MonaVie is founded and lead by an innovative, dynamic and experienced team of professionals dedicated to changing lives around the world. The company works in partnership with its distributors and treats them like a family. The company operates with a very high level of integrity. They are very strict regarding distributors making false claims either regarding the product or their earnings from Monavie. Each year the company publishes a statement regarding earnings by the distributors in each rank they have achieved. Their terms and conditions are very fair to the distributors. We are very proud of our company and speak from our hearts. You are welcome to do your research by clicking on the links we have provided or by searching on the net or by visiting the company.

Integrity and experience of the management is very important to your success and you should never compromise this aspect when selecting a company to join.

# TIMING IN JOINING A BUSINESS IS OF GREAT ESSENCE. YOU CAN EITHER RIDE THE WAVE TO SUCCESS OR BE DROWNED BY IT

Right timing consists of two separate factors and these should not be confused. First one is the right timing in the Industry. Second factor is the right timing in the company. We will discuss them in some detail. If you get one right and the other wrong then you will not get great results. If you get both the timings right then you will ride the wave of success.

TIMING IN THE INDUSTRY

Each industry has a cycle. Some product cycles are very long where as other product cycles are very short. For instance few years back there was great excitement regarding video emails. Some network marketing companies called it the wave of the future and started enrolling distributors. Today video emailing is free on the internet. What happened to the profit margins of these companies? Obviously they never survived. What happened to all the effort by the distributors? ZERO outcome. They lost their time, effort and money in promoting a product whose life span was only two to three years. High technology products have a very short window of opportunity. To try and tap into these is very difficult let alone build a residual income for retirement.

To succeed in network marketing is to be in an industry that has a very long product cycle that will not go out of fashion or become redundant with technological change. The most successful products in the network marketing business have been those related to the health and wellness industry. These products are timeless as the need to live longer, look younger and be healthier will always remain. It is the basic human need. It will never go out of style. The timing for health products is also perfect with ‘baby boomers’ coming of age in their late fifties and sixties. For the last six decades baby boomers have determined the industry trends. In the next two decades the main concern of the ‘baby boomers’ will be their health. Health which is a $20 billion dollar industry today is expected to explode to a trillion dollars in sales on the wave of the baby boomers by 2010. The timing is therefore right to join network marketing companies promoting health products. The big wave is set to go into motion and we should ride this ‘health’ wave or we will miss a great opportunity in history.

When the timing is right, NON-network marketers will take your product to the marketplace. The timing means NOW. Not 6 years earlier. Not 6 years later. Timing will make your work ten times easier. Millionaires have been made in network marketing because of timing alone. Learn to ride the wave!

TIMING IN THE COMPANY

Once you have selected the industry then you have to look for a company within the industry whose timing is right for you to join. How can you gauge the timing in a company? It is difficult but below are some tips:

A. Most companies fail in the first year or two of their operations. You'll waste a lot of time, money & energy if you get in too early.

B. You'll waste a lot of time, money & energy if you get in too late. Momentum growth period of these companies occurred years ago. These companies are household names maybe with products using out dated technology. They are like dinosaurs facing extinction. You're will fight a real uphill financial battle to sponsor people into these companies.

The best time to join a company is around 3-5 years of its start up. By the time it would have proved its staying power and about go into momentum growth.

If you can get the timing of the industry and the company right and also other parts of the formula correct, then you are perfectly positioned to ride the momentum wave to wealth. The timing of MonaVie simply cannot be better. It is a unique product in health and wellness industry. The company has just completed its third year in operation and it is gaining huge momentum with sales are doubling up every 6 months. There has been a wide coverage in the media about the company and the product. Who is better to judge MonaVie’s future performance than Maria Ramirez, recognized by The Wall Street Journal as one of the top five forcasters. Maria is an independent observer who comes regularly on CNN and Fox News.

Within the functional food and nutritional beverage category, MonaVie is perfectly positioned for exponential growth

When we talk of timing of MonaVie it is simply PERFECT. Are you willing to ride this wave of HEALTH and PROSPERITY? Then what are you waiting for…..TAKE THE PLUNGE!

# THE PRODUCT HAS TO BE REMARKABLE

If there is no EMOTIONAL attachment to the product you will not succeed. You can never recommend a product to someone if you cannot become emotionally involved with it. Network marketing is referral based marketing. You can never transfer your enthusiasm to someone if you don’t have feelings for the product. Here comes problem with companies promoting multiple products through network marketing. The idea is that you will generate more volumes through more products. In fact reverse happens. Firstly no company, howsoever good, can produce hundreds of goods that are unique. So we have a situation of hundreds of mediocre products about which the distributor has very little knowledge or emotional attachment. There is hope that if we throw so many products at the customers that some of them will stick and volumes will get generated. Network marketing works with niche quality products that have special qualities that need to be sold through transference of knowledge and enthusiasm. Network marketing does not work with ordinary products that have little or no intrinsic value.

When you promote multiple of opportunities and products, you undermine your network. If you try to appeal to everybody with your multiple streams of products & services, no one will take you seriously. This is because you have failed to create an identity in their mind. The net result is…..

No trust. No loyalty. No network.

Loss of focus = loss of power. You ruin your quality perception, because, to consumers, specializing = quality. You will struggle to promote numerous unrelated products & services that you don't know well. You lose efficiency, competitiveness, and you get a smaller market share. You are better off to do your research, choose the RIGHT opportunity and product, and FOCUS ON THAT ONE!

If you are focused you will attract customers & associates you want. They will be excited because they feel that they are a part of something big. It will create a belief in their minds that you'll be a big success. A specialist always knows more and a better quality product always wins over hundreds of mediocre products and services. You will win if you remain focused in a quality niche market.

The product has to be so remarkable that people should be willing to buy it even if there is no compensation plan involved. The product has to be priced right. If you start explaining why the product is so expensive then you will become a sales person rather than a network marketer. In any network marketing organization there will be around 80% of the people who are only users of the product and will never build the business. If the product is not remarkable or priced correctly then these people will stop using the product. The business simply cannot succeed if people do not find a great value in the product.

The product should be such that it is not readily available in the super markets and neighborhood stores. It does not make sense for someone to buy a product that they can buy cheaper from a store next door. The product has to be unique and remarkable. The product has to be such that it is difficult to replicate it. If everyone starts replicating the product then the price starts to come down and the margins get squeezed out. The company will go out of business and so will you.

Most importantly the product should be a consumable product that people use every day and need to buy every week or month. In case there are no volumes in product sales/consumption there will be no income.

Monavie is a unique product. It is delicious and healthy blend of the acai berry – one of nature’s top super food – and 18 additional body-beneficial fruits. While each fruit was selected for its unique properties, together, their synergistic union reaches far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish. MonaVie delivers key phytonutrients and antioxidants to help you maintain a healthy and active life style. Acai berry grows only in Amazon. MonaVie has patented a special refrigerated process to ship the fruit from Amazon so that it does not lose its nutritional value. There is very interesting science behind the acai berry and Monavie which makes it a unique product that is difficult to replicate.

# THE COMPENSATION PLAN MUST BE EQUITABLE, JUST AND WORK WITH NUMBERS

The most important thing about a compensation plan is that it should work with numbers. If it works for only 5% of the people and not for the other 95% then the compensation plan will not succeed. The business plan has to be equitable and just. Newly sponsored people will remain in the network only if they see the plan working for them. They should not only breakeven but be in profit within the shortest possible time. You can lead people only if you can take them one step closer to their dreams. You have to show them small success before they are prepared to take the long march with you. You are doomed from the very start if the plan does not work with numbers. The plan has to work for average ordinary people. This is because most people who join your business will be average and ordinary. The business plan has to work for average part time workers who make the numbers. If the plan does not work with numbers then simply walk away.

Network marketing statistics show that on an average distributor sponsors 2.7 persons into their home business. This means that any compensation plan that requires more than 3 persons in their frontline will struggle to survive. Binary plans that require only two persons to be put in the front line have proved to be most successful in the industry. Any successful network marketer will tell you that the main source of his income in network marketing comes from two to three people in his team. If this be the case then compensation plans that are too wide just do not work. Binary plans cause spill over’s that support the effort of the new members in the team. The new members feel nice when their upline member place someone below them in their team. This helps build relationships that are essential in network marketing. Always choose a plan that does not force you to go wide and rewards you to work deep. Working in depth helps create relationship with your team members.

Any compensation plan that rewards for recruiting into the system is illegal. Most likely such plans are illegal pyramids with no tangible product in the offing. In illegal pyramids the moment you stop recruiting your income will stop. Such companies camouflage their intentions by selling products that have little or no value. Sooner than later authorities close down these companies for illegal practices. You should never become part of such scams and lose your hard earned money and effort.

For a network marketing company to be ethical and legal the money in the compensation plan has to flow out from sale of products. The joining fee for such companies is normally very low because there is no money to be made from sponsoring people. This helps in sponsoring new people into the business because the start up costs is very low. MonaVie has a joining fee of only $39 which is charged for initial literature about the company, advertising materials and a website that operates your virtual back office from where you can control your business. Ethical companies succeed on the basis of a strong product that people want to buy and use.

A good business plan should be backed by generous contribution from the company for the efforts put in by the distributors. A method to check if the compensation by the company is really generous is to check how many people need to be in your network to generate an income of $10,000 per month. If the figure runs into thousands of distributors then it will take very long time for you to generate any decent income. There are companies who only give back 15% to 25% of the turn over to the distributors. You will put in twice the amount of effort to build your business when compared to company that pays out 40% to 50% of the sales turn over.

MonaVie has an exceptionally generous and innovative compensation plan that pays in eight ways and guarantees that each week 50% of the total GV will be paid out to distributors. This results in income of over $10,000 per month to distributors with only 300 to 500 persons in the network depending upon the level of purchases/sales. In case some of the distributors in the network are inactive then the numbers required will be higher. Another important feature of the MonaVie compensation plan is that points are non flushing. As long as you are active in the business your group volume points will never be lost and will carry forward from week to week till such time you qualify for commissions. This is a big advantage when compared to many compensation plans wherein your points get flushed out at the end of the month if you don’t qualify for commissions.

Lastly, publically traded companies should be avoided if possible because their operating costs are generally very high. These costs get added to the price of the product and as a result the compensation paid to the distributors gets squeezed out. Companies like MonaVie that are privately held operate with much lower overheads and tend to be more profitable.

# CHOOSE AN OPPOPTUNITY WITH SYSTEMS FOR DUPLICATION

Why most businesses fail is because they do not have systems in place. On the other hand businesses with mediocre products but with great business systems always succeed. Take the example of MacDonald. They do not make the best burger in the business. Even your mom will make a better burger. MacDonald is the largest burger chain in the world simply because it has the best business system in the business. This is also true for network marketing companies. Check the business systems of a company before you decide to join them. Go for a system that respects people and attracts likeminded individuals.

To succeed in this business you need a tested, proven, duplication system. The system has to be very simple or it will not be duplicated by ordinary members of your team. Everyone you sponsor and everyone they sponsor needs a step by step system to get their business off to a fast start. These systems can be online, offline, one on one, cold market, warm market, retailing, recruiting or becoming a mentor to their personally sponsored people. The system must also help to develop the individual members and build leadership. A person does not need all the techniques to be successful but the system should make these available to choose from that is best suited for his style of business.

To the best of my knowledge there is no company in network marketing that provides a comprehensive, realistic and affordable system to help you build your business. This is because it is the job of the network marketer to build his own business that is best suited to his style. The company provides you the backup system so that stocking, distribution and customer complaints/queries are taken care of. They pay you generously to spread the word and bring in new customers.

Every company has individual groups of entrepreneurial reps who put together a system to help you build your business. You cannot succeed without the help of these people and the support systems they provide. These are the people you want to find and work with. If you want to leverage your time and effort you have to join one of these groups to succeed. They help not only you but the people you sponsor into the business. Don't join a group unless they have such a system in place.

I was in property mentoring business for nearly a decade and have helped hundreds of people to become millionaires and realize their dreams. This is because of the excellent support system my company provided. When I became engaged in network marketing with MonaVie my dream was to create one thousand millionaires through this business opportunity because I understood the power of this business model. Through my experience I understood the importance of setting up very strong support system to help my team achieve their dreams. I realized that I could never achieve the goal of creating thousand millionaires without proper support system. The first thing I did was to form TEAM MASSIVEPASSIVE that provides an excellent online and offline system to help our team members not only to sponsor new members but also provide them with training to build their business.

TEAM MASSIVEPASSIVE works under the umbrella of TEAM ABUNDANCE to provide world wide support to our team members. This gives our members global approach to sponsor people in any country where MonaVie is operational. Our team members are confident that once they sponsor overseas their members can plug on to our worldwide system of training and support. The system guarantees their success.
