Persistence and patience here is vital to your success.

If you are starting with a zero budget or close enough, remember the thing it will cost you is time.

So we have a mentor and we have a budget which aligns itself with our expectations, what’s next?

If you haven’t already you will need to identify your business interest. Follow one of my recent blogs entitled “How to evaluate an MML”.
The next step is to position yourself above your competitors.

You will need to be an individual and stick out from the masses…. And where do we send the traffic that has been attracted.

An industry “rock star” was kind enough to share his process with me. I diligently followed in the footsteps of my mentor who has stood up and shaken the online MLM industry like a dog with a bone.

For the cost of $1 to trial we can set up our own personalised web pages. After the trial , the cost is still under $50 per month to continue with. This particular system is called MLM Lead System Pro.

•You will want a system that supports what you’re doing and allows you to promote yourself as an individual, not just a corporate copy.
•Choose a marketing system that provides for potential earnings straight along with a highly effective funded proposal system.
•Make sure automation of your business interest is available attracting quality prospects while you sleep.

The fun now begins with endless video tutorials to keep you occupied as you look to take on every piece of information available.
Stays focused and prioritise what it is that you need to learn. Keep it simple and do it one step at a time.

In quick succession you will be setting up domain names, affiliate memberships and social networks, all of which takes a little time but with good training systems in place it won’t be a big issue for you.

Article Marketing will be a good option. It is a terrific marketing initiative that costs no money and can really develop your online presence. (Check earlier blog entry)

Next step is to develop your own personal blog which once again can become time consuming but your system will assist you. It’s free and you can personalise to your liking.This is yet another ideal way to start personally branding yourself.

Your blog can be linked to many different things including your social network sites which will become another avenue for your marketing strategies.

The training available on these individual aspects are awesome but can also chew up some valuable time.

You can now start promoting your articles through video promotions at no cost. It’s another brand new marketing arena but one which can escalate your results.

Why are we doing all this?

To create a list and to make some money as we develop it.

This entire concept is built on the desire to have people come to you and not you chasing people that really are not that interested.

Stay focused on your plan and don’t try and be the master of everything until you’re ready.
Use your mentor here. He will guide you through the challenges.

Have you ever met anybody that doesn’t want to be successful?

Isn’t it true that everybody wants the type of life where money did not dictate their style of existence? 

If that was true we must logically ask the question. How is it that so few people reach the levels they aspire to? 

The quick fixes, the educational webinars, the introduction of new wave techniques are all available to us but none of it matters if your mind is not in a position to take advantage. 

Anyone can build an MLM and be successful; at least that’s what we are all told but is it really true?

The answer is a resounding yes, but I join that answer with a thought. 

The reality is that 95% of people spend more money trying to build the business than they ever make….Is it because they thought it was going to be easy? After all, don’t they just have to go to all the rallies, think big and do what the leaders did? 

However, the minds of many people will simply not allow them to succeed. 

 Our minds become sabotaged; we become surrounded by the attitudes of people who want nothing more than to hold you back so they can justify their own positions. 

My very first mentor suggested to me that your income upon retirement will equal the average of your 5 closest friends. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not retired so I haven’t tested the theory, but the thought certainly holds some merit. 

Understanding that some things need to change in order to get different results is arguably the key to moving forward. However, most people tend to overlook this simple fact. 

Change starts from within.

All changes will start with the acknowledgment that you are where you are at this point in time due solely to the decisions you have made!

Some would suggest that this thought process may be harsh, but think about it. This is your life; you are the conductor of your own orchestra. 

Nobody else controls the music being played unless you allow them! 

We hear it every day. It’s not my fault, it had nothing to do with me, the dog ate my lunch and the list goes on. It’s called blame. 

Whatever happened to accountability? 

The blame game is a universal game played out in everyday society.

Ask yourself. Do you live above the line or below the line? 

Ownership……Accountability……Responsibility 

             Blame……Excuses……Denial 

The easy thing to do here, is tell yourself you are above the line, but is that really where you are? The most convenient and painless way to justify everything that happens to us is to point the finger elsewhere; it is so, so easy to do. 

Blaming others may well bring some short term relief but the action will hold you back more than you could ever imagine. 

Excuses started way back when Adam suggested the reason he took a bite out of the apple was because Eve gave it to him and you know we hear more excuses in a day than we hear compliments in a month. 

I have a challenge for you. Try listing all your excuses and have some fun with it. Once completed, look at the same list through a different pair of glasses.

If you want something bad enough, the process is simple. Just turn all your excuses into the exact reason why you are changing. 

The perfect example is that you don’t have time. Isn’t having more time with family the reason you are building your business? 

Denial is the bottom of the bed. On the surface people suggest that they live their lives with honesty and integrity. You see, whilst honesty is telling the truth, Integrity is keeping promises and fulfilling expectations. Do not deny yourself the need to change if you believe change is what you need. 

Live your life above the line and develop the emotional and mental muscles that you’ll need to handle the challenges ahead. The exact same principles are the back bone of mlmstrokeoffortune, as we look to the future.I look forward to touching base with you tomorrow.
