How to be Successful at Network Marketing
How to succeed at Network Marketing
- Learn how to lead
So, you’ve joined the company and are being told to recruit and sell, recruit and sell, recruit and sell, and there is a real urgency to get you to recruit and sell, and do you know why? Because 97% of all Network Marketers fail and their company wants to get as much out of them as they can while they are still excited about the prospect of making a small fortune.
But do you know the real reason why so many fail? It’s because they aren’t being trained properly, and that’s because their upline has only just joined the company and doesn’t know what they’re doing either (recruit and sell, right?). Only a handful of network marketers are recruited by experienced people (because there aren’t many experienced people in the business… 97% fail, remember), but even then, the experienced people often don’t know how to train their recruits and they still get a high dropout rate. They know how to motivate their recruits, which is great, but motivation without skill teaching is useless and you end up with fired up people trying to get sales or recruits using ham-fisted techniques and giving the company, and Network Marketing, a bad name in the process. Plus, a lot of the experienced guys are using old-fashioned techniques.
Traditional techniques are OK, but they are time-consuming and have the real chance of alienating friends and family and will only get you so far. Once you’ve exhausted your acquaintance list what are you going to do? Go to the shopping centre and pounce on people? Stop people in the supermarket? Hand out business cards to everyone that comes within three feet of you (the three-foot rule)? None of these are particularly appealing!
It really doesn’t matter how brilliant the company’s products are or how amazing the compensation plan is. If you haven’t got the skills necessary for finding recruits or getting sales you’re dead in the water. Sure, you might get a few sales from family and friends and one or two of them might even sign up with you but where are your next leads coming from once you’ve exhausted your warm market?
You need to be looking at how to use social media to your best advantage, how to prospect online – getting leads, nurturing leads, closing the deal. How to grow your following whilst staying compliant with whatever social media platform you are using and so on. There are millions of people out there using social media and all of them are, potentially, a customer or a recruit. But, most of all, you need to be learning how to lead and train your recruits correctly.
You now have four options:
1) Drop out - this is the choice of most marketers, but you don’t want to drop out. You’ve already invested time and money and have a dream that you want to see realised, but you’ve become frustrated because you’re not moving forward and don’t know what else to do.
2) Sign up for free webinars (and there are plenty of those around). But this is time-consuming, and you only get part of the story with each webinar leaving you to piece everything together like a jigsaw puzzle, but you may not have all the pieces.
3) Pay for training – this a good option but can end up being extremely expensive, and you may not be able to afford this when you are starting out.
4) Get an upline who knows what they’re talking about and will train you for free. After all, your success will be their success so it’s in their interests to spend time teaching you everything they know.
And, once you know what you are doing, it is possible to become a great success and earn a lot of money with Network Marketing.
If you have got an upline who will motivate you and teach you the skills you need to know, you will sell, and you will recruit, and you will be a success. If your current upline doesn’t know how to do this then sign up with one who does (most, if not all, successful Network Marketers have more than one income stream anyway, that’s why they’re called entrepreneurs!). With an upline who knows what to teach and how to teach it you will save thousands in training fees and you will make money.
Find an upline that knows what they are doing. Learn from your upline. Model their techniques. And you will be successful!
Change Your Mind to Change Your Life
Change Your Mindset to Change Your Life
The mind is incredibly powerful and affects our lives in many ways.
This series focusses on affirmations and positive thinking with a view to changing the negative mindset that we develop throughout life, to a more positive one in order to help us achieve our dreams.
I CAN’T AFFORD IT!
Does this sound like you? How many times a day do you say these four little words? How long have you been saying it for?
These four words are incredibly damaging because the more we say or think them, the more they become true. And the more entrenched we become in our own version of poverty.
The laws of attraction say that we attract what we think about often (and no, thinking constantly about Tom Hardy is not going to bring him to your door!). It isn’t just the thought that is important but how we feel when we say or think it.
How do you feel when you think or say, ‘I can’t afford it!’ Do you feel sad, or angry? Do you feel a sense of loss or longing? More importantly, do you do anything about being able to afford it?
Whenever you find yourself thinking ‘I can’t afford it!’ First consider whether it is something that you really do want or need and if it is, change the thought to ‘what can I do to be able to afford it?’ Say this to yourself any time you find yourself saying ‘I can’t afford it!’ The more often you say it, the quicker positivity will come in.
Then listen for some answers to come in. You see, when you change the thought from the negative to the positive, you attract positive energy to come into your life. And asking yourself, ‘what can I do to be able to afford it?’ Changes the negative ‘I can’t’ to the more positive ‘I can, I just need to find a solution’.
Listen to your thoughts. Ideas will come to you. It could be along the lines of having a clear-out and selling everything you haven’t used for 2 years or more (de-cluttering your home is an excellent way to attract new, positive energy into your house), or renting a room out to someone, or renting garage space, selling old vinyl records, selling old mobile phones, getting a second job. Think outside of the box, challenge yourself. There are opportunities out there that can earn you a lot of money, all you must do is take a chance.
Try it today:
‘What can I do to be able to afford it?’
‘What can I do to be able to afford it?’
‘What can I do to be able to afford it?’
What Are Affirmations, and Do They Work?
Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome negative thoughts. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes.
Affirmations are a form of exercise for your mind. We workout our body to build it up and make it healthy, and our mind also needs exercises to keep it healthy. These positive mental repetitions can reprogram our thinking patterns so that, over time, we begin to think – and act – differently.
How to Use Positive Affirmations
You can use affirmations in any situation where you'd like to see a positive change take place in your life. These might include times when you want to:
- Raise your confidence before presentations or important meetings.
- Control negative feelings such as frustration, anger, or impatience.
- Improve your self-esteem.
- Finish projects you've started.
- Improve your productivity.
- Overcome a bad habit.
Affirmations may be more effective when you pair them with other positive thinking and goal-setting techniques.
For instance, affirmations work particularly well alongside visualisation. So, instead of just picturing the change you'd like to see, you can also write it down or say it aloud using a positive affirmation.
Affirmations are also useful when setting personal goals. Once you've identified the goals you'd like to achieve, affirmative statements can help you to keep yourself motivated in order to achieve them.
The power of affirmations lies in repeating them to yourself regularly. It's useful to recite your affirmations several times a day (have them pop up in your notifications!). You also need to repeat your affirmations as soon as you engage in the negative thought or behaviour that you want to overcome.

Spiritual Protection
Spiritual Protection
In a previous article, I spoke to you about protecting yourself spiritually but why do we need to do this?
Spirits are around us every hour of every day. Most of us do not see, hear or feel them although a lot of us have an inkling that something is there and in our quieter moments we may even register that something ’strange’ is going on. Our own guides, including our Guardian Angel, are always there for us, hovering around us waiting to help but other Spirits do not necessarily ‘see’ us (although our own guides always do). When we start actively connecting to Spirit by developing our gifts we start to shine (on a Spiritual level). Our light shines out like a beacon through the ether and we become more visible to Spirit which makes it easier for us to connect with them which is, after all, what we are trying to do when we commit to our own Spiritual development. However, we shine out to all entities, good and bad. When the Spirits see this beacon, they may wish to latch onto that light in which case we may end up with an Entity Attachment and that entity can then influence us in our life without us even knowing… in some ways they try to live a life through us.
But what is Spirit? Who are we referring to when we say Spirit? In simple terms, Spirit, or The Spirits is a collective term used for entities that are around us but which we cannot normally see. These entities can be the souls of the dead which may or may not have passed into the light (including animals), Angels, Demons and Nature Spirits, and other entities that have never been incarnated on this Earth. Some of these Spirits are lovely and helpful, and some are not so lovely or helpful, but whether they are helpful or not, do we really want them piggy-backing along in our Auras? Entity attachment is much more common than anyone thinks and as such we need to protect ourselves from it as much as possible, hence why we put protection in place prior to working with Spirit.
So how do we protect ourselves? My previous article talked about the ‘White Light’ protection in which you visualise white light coming down from the heavens and surrounding your body in an egg shape which goes around the top of your head right down to beneath your feet. Make sure the ‘egg’ is complete so that negative energies cannot enter, then ask Spirit for their protection at this time. This is a simple yet powerful form of protection which only requires a few minutes per day to put in place.
Sometimes, you may feel the need for extra protection when you are in a specific situation, and there are many crystals that you can carry or wear for this purpose. Amber is a universal protection stone and was used extensively by the Romans for this purpose, it also looks good as jewellery. Jade, Citrine, Amethyst and Moonstone are also protective and can be used as jewellery. Small crystals can also be placed in your pocket or in your bra for women that don’t have pockets. I have a lot of crystal jewellery and I also place small Black Tourmaline nuggets in front of each of my windows and doors in order to deflect negativity. Search the internet for the many protection crystals and take a look through the possibilities to find a crystal that you are drawn to.
Herbs and common plants can also prevent negative energy: aloe, barley, basil, bay leaf, cactus, carnation, chamomile, cinnamon, clove, cumin, curry, dill, eucalyptus, fennel, frankincense, garlic, ginseng, ivy, lavender, myrrh, onion, parsley, pepper, peppermint, rosemary, sage, thyme, violet are just a few of the possibilities here. I have aloe plants on my window sills to prevent anything negative from entering through those openings, but you can also place the dried herbs in little bowls about the house. You can make little herbal sachets or "charm bags" to hang on doors or tuck in a drawer or carry with you. Place one in your car for protection while travelling.
Smudging is a way to cleanse your environment and yourself. You can buy or make a smudge stick out of herbs which you then burn and waft the smoke around yourself, your house or whatever else you wish to protect. White sage is the usual herb used for this form of protection although others are available. Incense can be used in a similar way. A word of caution though, don’t waft too near to your smoke alarms.
One of the best ways to protect yourself is to ask your Guardian Angel and guides to keep you safe. I always say a little prayer as I do this:
Guardian Angel, I ask for your presence here today,
I give thanks for your presence here today,
And I ask that you help me in all that I do,
Please keep me safe, and guide me to do what I need to do today.
I thank you for your help.
I then do the white light visualisation detailed above. You don’t have to say those exact words but I find it helps to have some structure to it. Why not make up your own wording but just remember to ask for exactly what you want and to thank your Angel at the end. I include my children, animals, home, cars and everyone that I know and love in this too.
Finally, Reiki is a great form of protection. Traditionally, Reiki is used to heal yourself and others but it can also help with Spiritual Development. For those of you that don’t know, Reiki means Universal Energy. The Reiki practitioner uses the energy that is all around us to channel through themselves and into the recipient (sometimes the practitioner is working on themselves and therefore becomes both practitioner and recipient), in order to heal them. In doing so the aura of the practitioner and recipient becomes charged with energy which makes it difficult for any negativity to enter. Take a course in Reiki (which is generally inexpensive) or if you know a practitioner, ask them for their help.
There are other forms of protection from talismans to protection spells which often require a witchcraft practitioner to create, they can be expensive or homemade. It’s up to you to choose the ones that suit you. But make sure that you use what you choose. Connecting with Spirit is a wonderful thing but care should always be taken not to pick up something extra while you are working.
Look out for my next article on connecting with animals to aid healing.
The Spirit Connection
The Spirit Connection
Have you ever wished that you could talk to Spirit but thought that it was too difficult to do so, that only gifted people had the ability to make the connection? Has it ever occurred to you that you may be one of the gifted people but you just don’t know how to connect yet? Who are the gifted ones anyway, and how did they discover their gift?
Spirit is all around us, waiting for us to connect so that they can help us. It’s what our Spirit Guides are there for, to help us get the best out of this life. Sadly, the dense energy of this Earth can make it a bit difficult for us to connect, it’s almost as if we forget how to do so as soon as we are born. It’s similar to getting a bad telephone line where you can barely hear the person on the other end and try to piece together what they are saying. What you need to do is learn how to clear the line and keep it clear, and this is something that everyone is capable of doing, although some will be able to do it better than others. It’s like speaking a foreign language, some have a talent for it and others don’t, but we can all learn the words to some extent.
So how do we clear the line? How do we make the connection?
Belief and Trust are paramount here. Have you ever had a thought pop into your head, a thought completely irrelevant to what you were doing at that time but you registered that thought because it was out of place in your mind? It’s quite possible the thought was a message from Spirit, one of your guides or a loved one in Spirit, trying to connect with you. So, the first thing for you to do in order to improve your Spirit connection is to listen to the thoughts that pop into your head and then Trust that Spirit is calling you. The more you do this the easier your connection will become and, after a while, you will notice these thoughts and they won’t seem out of place any more, you will automatically know that Spirit is calling. It may be helpful for you to write these instances down in a journal to start off with, and then you can look back upon what you have written for verification of the Spirit connection. This, in turn, will help you build the Trust in yourself.
A more formal way of connecting to Spirit is by focussing your mind. Usually this can be done through meditation, but remember, meditation is not all about sitting in the lotus position chanting ‘om’ (although that is a great way of focussing your mind). There are moving meditations where you go through a series of actions or postures, walking meditations in which you focus on each of your senses whilst taking a walk, singing or chanting meditations, in fact everything can be made into a meditation as long as it helps you to concentrate, and as long as it is something that you are comfortable doing. I have channelled some of my best work from Spirit whilst driving (although I would not recommend you do this, at least not whilst learning to connect). Solving crosswords and puzzles can help you to get in the zone, as can creating art.
At first, while learning to connect to Spirit, I would recommend using some guided meditations which help you to open your mind and let Spirit talk to you freely without your conscious mind getting in the way. A quick look on the internet will show you numerous options for these types of meditation, some of which you may be able to get for free and with immediate download so that you can start practising straight away.
There are other ways to make your connection to Spirit quicker and easier, and I would suggest taking a course, either online or in person, if you are serious about developing this gift. Practise regularly, Believe in yourself and Trust that Spirit is guiding you and you will soon be able to connect with confidence.
One word of warning before you rush off and eagerly surf the net for more guidance. Before attempting to connect with Spirit it is always advisable to put some form of protection around yourself. There are many ways to do this but one of the most commonly used protections is to visualise white light coming down from the heavens and surrounding your body in an egg shape which goes around the top of your head right down to beneath your feet. Make sure the ‘egg’ is complete so that negative energies cannot enter, then ask Spirit for their protection at this time.
I will cover more ways to protect yourself in future blogs, as well as how to enhance your connection through the use of crystals, journeying and visualisation, spells and other methods.
