Do you use a Dream Book, or a dream board to help you visualise WHY you are doing your home based business? Many people (and I was guilty of this too when I first started my business) think that a dream book or board is a load of baloney!  I found it hard to believe that sticking pictures of a new car or a holiday I wanted would help my business in any way.  I would just nod along when anyone told us to go and make a dream book, and then just not bother.

Until one day at a home business meeting, when a lady bought in her dream book and showed us through it.  She was so passionate about what she wanted from the future, that it shone from her.  Her eyes were alight when she showed us pictures of her family and how she intended to help them once she had the money to do so.  And I realised at that moment that this lady would definitely succeed in her home based business.  You could just tell from the passion she had when she talked about her dreams.  You knew nothing would ever stand in the way of her success.  And that planted a seed (just like my last article!!) in my head.

A short while later it was my birthday and I asked one of my daughters to buy me a beautiful deep pink book that I had seen that even tied with a ribbon.  I didn’t go out looking for a book; I hadn’t even realised that I intended to start a dream book,but while I was browsing around a shop I saw it and thought straight away – my dream book!  Amazing how the seed of an idea can be planted in your head, and start to grow sometime later!

So a few weeks later I started thinking about what I wanted to put in my book.  I knew my main why was to get my partner Alan out of his job.  So I started with pictures of him, and how his life would look once he could give up working!  But as I thought more about it, I realised that I already had a good idea of what I wanted to see in my dream book. It expanded my mind and my thinking – I was actually designing my future life.

My dream book is definitely a work in progress; when I started it everything was a dream.  Now some of my dreams have started to appear in my life and I find I have more goals to add to my book.  Like grandchildren for instance and how I can help them in the future!  And I am remembering long forgotten dreams or wishes I had and perhaps gave up on earlier in my life.  Now I am bringing out these dreams, re-examining them and adding them to my dream book if I still want them.

And don’t make the mistake of thinking its all about a new car, house or holiday.  My dream book is full of how I can help my family, friends and charities. About how I can lead a better, more fulfilled and healthier life! It’s not all about money, but thats nice too!

If you have been guilty of dismissing the idea of a dream book or board, think again! Because you have pictures of your goals clearly there in front of you, you mind accepts that and leads you towards your dreams.  I know because it is slowly happening to me!!  If you can visualise what you want out of life you can get it! Make it real!

So what about you??  Do you have a Dream Book or a Visualization Board?  What is it like?  Do you believe??  Please let me know by adding your comments; I would love to know what other people think about using a Dream Book!

Have I gone crazy?  Maybe!! But I will tell you why I think you need to become a farmer in your Network Marketing Opportunity.  I heard someone say something the other day about planting seeds and getting the results six months down the line and it made me think that those of us in a Network Marketer Opportunity have alot in common with Farmers!!  Because, just like Farmers plant seeds in the fields, we drop out little nuggets of information (or seeds) to people.  Then because we have put a thought into their head, it slowly begins to take root, blossom and grow, just like the Farmer’s seed!!

So many people are suffering with money worries at this time.  They are rushing around, so busy worrying about their dire money situation that they have probably not even given a thought to finding a second income stream.  Then we come along and perhaps tell them what we are doing, or ask them to take a look and that’s it, we have planted a seed.  They begin to think about the possibilities, and how much better their life would be if only they could earn a few hundred extra each month!

But just as Jim Rohn said on his Building Your Network Marketing Business CD; ‘some seeds will fall on stony ground’.  Because some people just do not have an open mind with which to view our opportunity.  And some people would find Network Marketing beyond their comfort zone and be unwilling to step up to the mark.  Which is fine of course, because these are the people who, if you did manage to sign them up, would only last a few months.

And of course, some seeds will start to grow, but then get choked by weeds and die!  These are the people who will join your opportunity, but then listen to their next door neighbour’s uncle’s sister, who had a ‘bad’ experience once with MLM and decide to give up!

But of course some seeds will fall on good soil, and be nourished and grow strong and healthy!  And these are the seeds that we are interested in.  Because they will become the stars in your business.  They are the reason we go around planting seeds at all!

So remember when you talk to people, you are planting ‘seeds’!  Because just imagine if you spoke to someone about your opportunity and they said they were not interested because they were happy in their job, or because they did not have any money worries.  What if, 4 months down the road, they were made redundant, lost their job, or got sick?  Maybe at that time, that little seed that you planted in their mind would begin to take root and grow!

Planting has always fascinated me.  To think that you could take a tiny dried up seed and have it grow into a green, healthy plant is pretty incredible when you think about it.  So imagine planting a tiny thought into someone’s head, and it blossoming and growing into a strong, thriving business!  Now imagine a whole field full of plants, growing strong and healthy!

Let’s keep on planting those seeds!!

Network Marketing or Multilevel Marketing has changed! Not everyone realises this yet, but Network Marketing is evolving and changing for the better.  And the first thing to change will be the 97% failure rate.  Because the old school outdated methods of recruiting people into your Network Marketing business are slowly being replaced by the new age of MLM which is marketing your business online.

Now don’t get me wrong. This is not something that will happen overnight, but it is happening right now at this minute.  Every minute of every day someone is coming online for the first time to search for a way to resurrect their ailing Network Marketing business.  And what they will find once they look hard enough will be a revelation to them, and the turning point of their Network Marketing business!

Because they will realise that they can actually build their business rapidly once they have learned what it takes!  The number of people that distributors recruit online is far higher than the numbers recuited by using old style methods.  So cheques will be higher.  And that percentage will begin to fall!

Of course, just like in any business, there will still be a failure rate.  Not everyone will want to work online, and not everyone will put in the effort it requires.  Because there is a learning curve.  When I first came online, I had no idea what most people were talking about!  Autoresponders, hosting and webinars?!  It was like some sort of parallel world!  But several months down the road, it all makes complete sense, and I am learning more everyday!

Network Marketing Companies are going to have to invest in these changes too! Because anyone who begins to market their business online is going to want to be able to sign up reps online.  They are going to want capture pages to get peoples name and email or phone details.  They will also want a site that does the recruiting for them to a certain extent; where they can send their prospects 24/7 to watch videos or read information on their company.

Because there are now people who are signing up to a Network Marketing company online without ever having spoken to a distributor! And any company who does not have a website up and running to recruit someone without them speaking to a rep, is going to be missing out big time!  Because if someone is determined to find an MLM company today, they will go to one they can find online.

So for now the old school methods are still being taught everyday.  But eventually, as those of us who work online get out and about in our communities, we will help and educate those who use these old methods, and more and more people will come online to market their business.

Of course, Network Marketing will also still be done offline as well, but once the two methods are fused together, I believe this industry will reach new heights. It has already changed in so many ways.  It is now a much more recognised way of making money. So many famous entrepreneurs are now joining an MLM company or starting their own, that the non-believers are hard pressed to find bad things to say about Network Marketing nowadays!

Oh yes, Network Marketing has changed!!  Big time!

P S:  Dont forget to share this post if you like it and please leave me your comments!  What do YOU think is best, offline, online on a mixture of both??

If you are in MLM, take this MLM tip and BRAND YOURSELF! Because this is THE most important tip you will get in marketing your mlm business on the internet!  You have to brand yourself, because people buy people, not products. 

Would you buy something from someone that you did not know, like or trust? No of course not.  And neither will anyone else.

Many people struggle with this concept when they first come online to build their MLM/Network Marketing business.  They have been taught offline, and believe that the only way to build their business is to shout their brand from the rooftops.  Unfortunately, they consider their brand to be their Company or their Products.  However on the internet your brand is You! If you are shouting out your Company or Your Products all over the internet, you will be considered an amateur and very few prospects will be interested in you.

Droves of people who are in MLM already, or who want to know more about MLM are coming onto the internet everyday looking for answers. They search round to see what other people are doing, so they can copy them.  So to succeed online you need to have yourself  branded all over the web, so people can keep coming across your name and your brand.  When they look at what you are doing online and consider you an expert, they will want more and more information from you.

So how do I become the expert you might ask!  Well firstly you need to remember that none of us began as experts in internet marketing.  To become an expert you have to give value. And to give value, you need knowledge.  So become a sponge.  Start by learning something everyday about internet marketing.

Each day as you learn something, then you share it with others.  You can write an article about what you have learned, you can put it on your blog and send it out to article directories.  You could do a video about what you have learned and put it on YouTube or other video sites.

And then keep on rinsing and repeating.  Learn everyday.  Watch videos, attend webinars, read articles.  Soak up the information, turn it into articles of your own, in your own words, and get them out there.  Become the teacher.

Remember, everyone has to go through a learning curve.   No-one is exempt!   None of us came onto the internet knowing all about internet marketing.  And the great thing is that within a few months, if you keep learning everyday, you will be so much more of an expert than the people who will be coming online after you!

You will have branded yourself as a leader!
Hope this MLM tip on branding yourself has helped you! If you want to discover the exact system Sue uses online to build her business, check it out here!

So you want to scale the heights in your Monavie business?  Well lets look at the facts of this business model first.

Monavie was founded in January 2005 by Dallin Larsen, the former Usana VP of Sales, Owner of Monarch Health Sciences and VP of Dynamic Essentials.  MonaVie is a division of Monarch Health Sciences.  It is a Multilevel Marketing Company with a hybrid binary compensation plan.  There are nine different ways for distributors to earn payments.

MonaVie’s main product is a superfruit juice containing 19 different juices, including the infamous Acai Berry, which has an amazingly high antioxidant value.  Monavie claim their juices are not full of sugar like some juices.  Their Acai Berry content is freeze dried within 24 hours to maintain the ORAC score of their juice.

Monavie have reached $1 Billion in sales in 4 years and are now moving into the international market.  They believe that the timing is right now for people to join their business, before massive expansion throughout the world takes place.

This company seems to have a marketing system in place, which exceeds anything I have seen from other companies on the internet.  They have a businesss building plan with multiple capture pages and auto follow-up emails.  They also offer a capture page with  a tour of their business for possible distributors to get a feel for the business.  How good this system is, or how much it costs per distributor I do not know.

This online presence does put MonaVie head and shoulders above so many companies, who offer only a replicated website to their distributors.  The Monavie online system was put together by Internet Marketing Experts and will certainly help distirbutors to sponsor people into their business online.

The distributor kit costs only £50, although this does not include the cost of any product.

So, thats all the basics out of the way; but how can you scale the heights in your Monavie business? How can you avoid becoming one of the sad statistics of network marketing?  Well, that is simple.  But not easy, if you get what I mean.  It takes dedication, hard work and the ability to ‘stick with it’!  But results are achievable, especially in MonaVie, where they have a large number of people earning over $1 million a year, according to figures from mid 2009!

First you need to utilise a Funded Proposal in your business.  This is a way of getting paid from any prospects you get into your business, whether or not they join your Network Marketing company!  Once you have a lead in your funnel, you begin to build up a relationship with them, and offer them low priced information products to  teach them all they need to know about markting on the internet.

Second you need to have a system in place to speed up the learning curve of all your prospects, so that they can quickly start to achieve some results.  They will need marketing training, using paid and free marketing methods. They will need to know how to position themselves as leaders in the industry.

This way you will be leading your prospects in the correct way, and teaching them how to market their own business whilst putting in the foundations of a top team in MonaVie!

If you want to build a top team with MonaVie you need to cut down your learning curve by jumping onboard the Attraction Marketing and Lead Generation System that Sue uses to build her primary business!!

I have been working my home business on the internet now for over six months full time.  For the majority of that time, apart from holidays, I have spent 8-10 hours, sometimes more, each day, studying, writing articles and building up an online presence. I am absolutely loving what I do, and can’t wait to get working every day.  I often spend my nights tossing and turning in bed with ideas floating round in my head, that are keeping me awake!

I have put on about half a stone, am very unfit, and sometimes ache from sitting at the computer for so long.  Not that this has ever stopped me!

But it has made me realise that this is not good for me.  When I realised I was out of puff just climbing the stairs, I knew I had to change things.  So I have embarked on a few lifestyle changes and I can feel the difference already, so I am sharing them in case you are doing the same thing.  I now go for at least one walk a day (its spring here in England, so a great time to get out in the fresh air) or sometimes a bike ride.  Sometimes I get in a second walk with my man in the evening.

Amazingly after only two weeks at this, I feel so much better already, and my paunchy stomach is already receding!

And another wonderful thing is that I feel it is actually helping my home business to escape from the computer for a short while.  I am more focused.  While I am walking, ideas come to mind of what I should be doing next or article ideas, and I can see everything so much more clearly when I am walking.  Its funny, but I spend a little less time on the computer, but I work a little harder.  Probably I am just working smarter, not harder!

I have also changed several of my coffees for glasses of water.  Much better for you, and of course you should not drink too much coffee anyway.  And water keeps me hydrated. And I am cutting back on the snacks I used to eat.  It’s so easy when you work from home and no-one is around, to just keep nipping to the kitchen for another packet of crisps or other ‘naughty’ snack!  So now I am keeping some fresh and dried fruit and nuts around for when I need something.

At lunch now I actually stop work, go away from the computer and sit somewhere else to enjoy my lunch; preferably the garden!  Again the change of scenery makes me more refreshed when I return.

So take some time out of your busy schedule to relax or get some exercise; the result can only be a healthier you and a better run home business!

I recently went to Lanzarote in the Canary Isles for a short break.  We stayed in Costa Teguise.  Wherever we went, on the beach or in the bars or restaurants, we were constantly bombarded with people selling sunglasses, hats, bracelets etc or offering massages.  We always declined their wares politely and refused to let them bother us.  But it did make me realise that there was a better way for them to approach people, and that would be to try to give some value upfront!

About halfway through our holiday we went on a bus trip to another resort, Puerto Del Carmen, where the bus stopped outside a small modern shopping centre on several floors.  As we came out of one of the shops, we were approached by a man selling different lotions and potions.  Our first thought was to say no thank-you and walk on.  However this man, who was happy and smiling, engaged us straight away.

He asked us where we were from, in perfect English, and asked us if we were off to the beach as it was such a lovely day.  We ended up chatting for a couple of minutes and we told us about a little known beach which he himself used, which was particularly nice and ‘far from the madding crowd’!  As we left him, he asked us to come and tell us what we thought of it one day, and maybe have a look at his products.

We did not feel at all pressured.  He did not lead with his business.  Of course he was there to sell his products, but by giving us value in the form of information that was of use to us, we were totally happy to return to talk to him and try out his products!  We knew he would not make us feel that we had to buy something, but we actually felt that we would like to do some business with him because he had been so friendly and helpful!

And it made me draw some parallels with my Network Marketing business. Because that is exactly what we try to do online; give value up front, without expecting anything in return.  Try to help people with their problems, by giving them information which could help them.  You could offer  free training, information or advice to help them to build their online business.

Because we know that if we help people get what they want and they begin to look on us as a valuable resource, they may come to us at some time in the future if they are looking for a new Network Marketing business opportunity.

So be free with your help and training; teach everything you learn to someone else and you will be rewarded over and over again in the months and years to come!

If you want to learn how to give value in your Network Marketing Business Opportunity, check out the system Sue uses to fill her funnel with pre-qualified, ready to rock and roll leads!!

I didn’t understand Twitter when I first used it! But I plodded onward and within days was lovin it!! Quick and easy to chat to people all over the world. Nice short comments; nothing complicated. Simple to add people. I soon built up the numbers. I knew in the long run it would help my business. And it did. People would click on my links and go to my sites! Great.

But months later my interest waned. Because Twitter got boring. The bots and spammers had taken over. Every Tweet was a link. No-one talked anymore. I would go on, get bored and get off.

But now I’ve found the answer. TheTwitCleaner! He’s a very nice man who will get rid of all the rubbish for you! And he doesn’t get you in trouble with Twitter for unfollowing too many at a time. Twitter had stopped all the tools which let you unfollow everyone who wasn’t following you. But TheTwitCleaner does a few everyday, so you don’t get in trouble. He brings up a page with all the bots and spammers on and as you hover your cursor over each one, it tells you what they tweet. Such as 85% links, no interaction.

So you decide if there are any you want to keep, then he removes the rest slowly over the next week or two. I only had to pay $5 as I have about 7,000 followers, but I think it is free if you only have a few followers. Easily worth the money!!

So I have realised that I am probably as guilty of mis-using Twitter as the bots. Just like all social media sites, you need to be social. You must interact with others. Go for quality not quantity. Like me, the majority of people who come on Twitter add as many followers as they can as quickly as they can. This, in hindsight, is totally wrong. If you run a home business as I do, your followers need to be very targeted, otherwise why would they be interested in your tweets? Clearly if you want to get results from Twitter, your followers must be interested in your product or service.

You can’t sell cat food to someone with no cats, can you??

I for one, am going back to the way I was when I first used Twitter. I would ReTweet anything that I found interesting to my followers. And help other business owners by ReTweeting their links. Now, you may think this is mad, but think about it. If another person ReTweeted your links to their followers, what would you do?? Well you would probably ReTweet one of their links. Exactly.

I will also ask questions and offer help and advice. Even freebies. Anything I can to give value, so that people start to associate you with giving valuable information and being a lovely person. And thank people, when they ReTweet or say something nice about you!

So come and join me and let’s make Twitter what it should be, a friendly and fun social site, with a side order of business!

Do you use Twitter to market your MLM home business? Maybe you would you be interested in a marketing system which teaches you how to market online, using social media??
