The Power Of Network Marketing

This is one of the most powerful explanations I have seen about going through the numbers until you succeed.  I am not sure who the author is… Anyhow, enjoy!
Mark Yarnell, minister in a small town in Texas, was headed for bankruptcy and just about to lose his car and home. He looked for a way out and discovered network marketing. Luckily, he had a wise sponsor.

The sponsor gave Mark “THE PROMISE”. “This business can set you free financially in one to three years.” But he also gave him “THE PRICE” “To succeed, you will have to face and conquer 4 major enemies.”Mark said, “It’s a deal.”

Mark began by inviting 200 friends over to his house to watch a video. 80 said “No, not interested”

- Mark had encountered ENEMY #1: Rejection.

He thought, “No problem. My sponsor warned me about that. I’ve got120 people still coming over.” Guess what?

- He had just encountered ENEMY #2: Deception.

Mark thought, “No problem. My sponsor warned me about that. I’ve got 70 people who watched the tape.” Guess what? 57 said “Not Interested”.

- He had just encountered ENEMY #3: Apathy.

Undaunted, Mark thought, “No problem. 13 people signed up.” Guess what? 12 of them dropped out of the business shortly thereafter.

- He had just encountered ENEMY #4: Attrition.

Attrition had left Mark with just one serious associate. But to this day, that single distributor earns Mark over $50,000 per month.

Mark Yarnell’s story is NOT Unique!

You may have heard of Bill Britt, one of the most successful distributors in Amway. Some years ago, 20/20 did a feature story on Amway. They spent 19 minutes interviewing whiners and complainers – several distributors who had failed and showed the garages full of products they couldn’t sell. During the last minute of the show, Mr. Britt was interviewed in front of his palatial home. He was asked, “Mr. Britt, this business has obviously worked for you. What’s your secret?”

He replied, “There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people. 900 said, ‘No’ and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did anything at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were serious, and out of those 35, 11 made me a millionaire.” Like Mark Yarnell, Bill worked through the numbers.

Jason Boreyko, former co-founder of New Vision, told this story recently. When he was a distributor in Matol, he signed up 50 people. He heard a lot of “No’s” on the way to those 50. Jason took one man, who he knew would be terrific in the business to lunch, told him about the business and the man said “No.” Jason took the man to lunch again the next month and told him the updates. Once again the man said, “No.” Jason sent him some more information and took him to lunch again the next month. And again the man said, “No.” That went on for six months. The seventh month, something had changed for the man, and he said, “Yes.” That man made Jason over one million dollars. Jason also worked through his numbers.

According to Richard Poe in Wave Three while starting Amway, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, America’s eleventh richest people, recruited 500 people. 495 dropped out. The five that didn’t quit built Amway. All $7 billion of Amway’s business was built under those 5 people. Jay and Rich had to work through their numbers. There are many similar stories. Jett, the top money earner in Mannatech, signed up 27 people his first month.

One might think that he is especially talented at sponsoring. Actually, Jett will be the first to tell you that he is not talented at all.

In fact, he feels that he did very poorly. To recruit those 27, Jeff talked to 2000 people that first month. And of the 27, the only one who did anything significant with the business was Ray Gebauer, who has more than half of Mannatech in his downline.

Jett’s word to you is that the numbers never lie. Pick your goal and then get into massive action. If you talk to enough people, you will make it!

Here’s the lesson: Your success is directly related to the degree to which you are willing to work to find others like yourself who are committed to succeed. Mark Yarnell’s odds were 1 out of 50. (Jeff’s were really 1 out of 2000.) Would you be willing to go through 200 people to find the 1 who will make you $50,000 a month? Or go through 200 people to become a millionaire? Or hear uncounted “No’s” to sign up 50 people to find a million dollar person? I hope you will. It’s easier when you know the odds up front.

But here’s the catch: You have your own set of odds and you won’t know what they are until AFTER YOU’VE SUCCEEDED. So if you’ve gone through 50 or 100 people and you haven’t found 1 serious person yet, you can either give up and assume the business doesn’t work or recognize that you are working through your own numbers.

Are you willing to find out what your own set of odds is?

That means that you must pay the price for freedom. Remember that the numbers never fail you. Despite where you are in your skill level, your success is assured if you talk to enough people. And as your skill improves, so will your odds.

There is no such thing as luck in this industry. Winning big is a matter of being willing to pay the price.

Are you?

Your future is in your hands!

The choices which you make today will determine the course of your entire future.

May you have a Successful Future in all aspects of Your Life.

With the economy and what is happening with failing companies and people losing their jobs, we are at a loss as to why anyone in FreeLife would stand for anything less than a monthly check that continues to grow month after month.  Especially now that we have a product that 80% of North America, and really the entire world for that matter, is litterally dying to get their hands on.

Having your own business is more valuable now than it has ever been.  Do you have any idea how many people would love to have the opportunity you have at your finger tips?

Even if you are only making a couple of hundred dollars a month to supplement your income, that is more than a lot of people are making right now in this economy.  Many bankruptcies have been averted because of an additional income of a couple of hundred dollars per month.

You can help lower your taxes by having a home-based business and you will need this in the future, no matter what income level you are at.

This is the time to think outside the box.

You need to set an example for your group.  The success of your business depends on products being purchased and enrolling people in FreeLife, both customers and MEs.

This is your business.   This is your future.  I don’t mean to sound like alarmist, but many think things are going to get worse with the economy before they get better and you need a Plan B.  Your Plan B is FreeLife. You already have a good start.  Now you just have to build on it.

Ask yourself, if you don’t do this, what else will you do?  Move in with family members?  Work at a fast food restaurant?  Live on unemployment and later on social security?  There aren’t a lot of choices.

You have an opportunity here with FreeLife to help yourself, your family and your friends.

You have the chance to have a business that will set you apart from the millions who have to depend on their job and hope they don’t get laid off.  You have a chance to build a business for your retirement.

I am here to support you 100% but you have to want it for yourself.  I can’t do it for you.  I can only partner with you and work side-by-wide with you to help you build a new stress-free life for yourself.

Are You Taking Advantage Of It?

Do you realize the amazing situation that’s in front of you right now?

I’m talking about a Perfect Storm of Opportunity.

This almost never happens.  Let’s break it down and take a look at all of the pieces to this puzzle which I believe makes up the incredible situation in front of us right now.

Proven Company – FreeLife is a 14 year-old debt free Inc. 500 company with proven management that has shown they have what it takes to not only get to this point of their amazing growth, but make it long term.  This is a company that can take you to your retirement.

Flagship Product Everyone Wants and Needs – Weight-Loss is a $60 Billion dollar a year market in the U.S. alone.  The vast majority of the population is overweight and it’s getting worse every day.  All you have to do is mention that you’ve got a brand new easy-to-use weight-loss product that’s unlike anything that’s ever been introduced before and everyone wants to know more.

A Product That Actually Works – This is a product that actually lives up to what it’s supposed to do.  In the two short weeks it has been available, we’ve had an incredible amount of success stories already.

A Product that Automatically Turns Customers Into Business Builders – When someone loses weight, everyone they know will comment on how good they look and ask them what they’re doing to lose it.  Customers who come on board strictly for the product end up referring people based strictly on the results they got themselves on the product.  Losing weight is one of the few things that can cause that kind of reaction and excitement.  Weight-loss is visible and that’s why it’s so powerful.

The Science to Back It Up – TAIslim not only has 3 U.S. Patents pending on it, it also has numerous scientific studies on it’s ingredients that prove it’s effectiveness.  This is not some “me to” product like so many other companies offer.

The State of the Economy – Layoffs are at a record high right now.  Some people are equating the current economic situation to the Great Depression of 1929.  Now I don’t think things have gotten quite that bad yet, but according to the experts, we’re not at the bottom yet.  How many people do you know who have lost their job, are at risk of losing their job, can’t pay their bills with the money they’re making currently or have friends that have recently lost their job?  I bet that’s the majority of people you know!

The Time of Year – January/February/March is traditionally the best time of year for building a network marketing business.  People are just getting hit with their holiday credit card bills, looking at their financial situation and realizing that they aren’t getting ahead.  They’re actually going backwards.  There are more frustrated people out there right now that want to change their life than at any other time of year.  You should help them.

A 90-Day Money Back Empty Bottle Guarantee – Where else can you go and offer something to people that they can try risk-free for 90 days?  They can get 100% of their money (minus shipping) back if the product doesn’t perform to their satisfaction.  Not only does FreeLife offer that guarantee on TAIslim, they offer it on every single product we have.  What does that mean when you boil it down?…no one will ever lose a friend over this business.

A huge secret of success is seizing great opportunities when they present themselves throughout your life.  Are you doing all you can to make the most of this perfect storm of opportunity or is something holding you back?  If something is holding you back, what is it?  Identify the roadblock and crush it.  Yes, I said crush it.  Understand that these roadblocks are keeping you from the life of your dreams.  Are those roadblocks worth it?  What is your dream life worth?  It can be yours a few short years…all you have to do is decide to go to work and let nothing stand in your way.  I’m here to help you.

TAIslim is here!!

The most incredible weight-loss product ever seen in the Direct Sales industry has just been launched!!

TAIslim is the revolutionary new weight loss product from Freelife International that is clinically proven to reduce belly fat, make your workouts more effective, enhance your metabolism, and more!

TAIslim targets the 4 key areas that scientists say contribute to weight gain.

Losing weight is simple in theory: burn more calories than you take in. Unfortunately, it’s much more difficult to accomplish in practice. This is because weight gain, and the resistance to losing weight, is caused by several different factors.

Unlike other weight loss products and fad diets, TAIslim is scientifically designed to target ALL aspects of weight gain in order to make sure that the pounds come off quickly and efficiently. Ultimately, TAIslim benefits you in 4 different crucial areas:

1. TAIslim Burns Belly Fat
Fat is often most readily stored in the belly. Unfortunately, this is the area that is least healthy to accumulate fat. TAIslim contains FreeLife’s exclusive super juice GoChi®, which is clinically shown to decrease the body’s production of stress hormones that cause you to accumulate unhealthy belly fat. Other ingredients act on digestive tract enzymes to help reduce the amount of calories absorbed from starchy or fatty foods.

2. TAIslim Cranks Up Metabolism
Clinical results on TAIslim have demonstrated a dramatic and significant increase in the body’s calorie burning potential compared to placebo – some burning as much as 50% more calories compared to those not consuming TAIslim! This means that a 30 minute wlak becomes as effective as a 30 minute run, and your body constantly burns more calories throughout the day!

3. TAIslim Reduces Your Appetite and Curbs Cravings!
It’s a fact – we eat too much. Portions are out of control, and contribute to a lot of the excess calories we consume. TAIslim contains powerful amino acids that work on the pleasure centers of the brain to help suppress food cravings and the urge for between-meal snacks. TAIslim also contains key ingredients that promote the early release of CCK, the satiety hormone that tells your brain that you’re full so you can find it easier to cut out unwanted calories.

Better still – TAIslim also makes you feel full for longer periods of time, cutting down on that between-meal snacking!

4. TAIslim Cleanses and Replenishes.
In weight loss, little attention is often given to proper balance within the digestive tract. This is a shame, because an imbalance of metabolic enzymes can lead to drastic weight gain, and the presence of certain bacteria can cause the body to store excess belly fat. TAIslim’s NuFlora fiber complex helps keep your digestive enzymes in perfect harmony and works to cleanse out those harmful, fat-storing bacteria.

I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever holiday you may celebrate.  I always enjoy the holidays because I get to see family that rarely gets together.  For me, the holidays also mark a psychological ending and preparation for a new beginning.

A New Beginning

A NEW BEGINNING…are you ready?

2009 is only 2 days away!  What do you want your life to look like next year?  Would you like your wealth and your health to be even stronger in 09′ than it was in 08′?

Really…think about it…   What does a picture of your ideal life look like?  What kind of income would make your life effortless and completely care-free?  What do you want your body to look like?  How do you want to feel?  These are things that you really should be thinking about because a rare opportunity is right around the corner for you.

Why?

Because you’ve got a proven company with a solid 13-year track record that is about to introduce a brand-new scientifically-backed best-of-breed product into one of the largest most insatiable markets in the world, the Weight-Loss market.

As you know, we have a revolutionary triple-patent-pending liquid weight-loss product being announced in less than 2 weeks.  This is going to change everything for our business.  A Royal Ambassador recently stated that he made $11,000 in his 3rd month in the business back when Himalayan Goji Juice was first launched.  He has said that many expect this new product will be MUCH more successful than even Goji was when it was introduced.  What do you think you could do if you were there in the beginning of a product like that?

This is going to be a monster.  All you have to decide is how large of a piece of this monster pie do you want paying you every month?

Here’s a sneak peek at our revolutionary weight loss solution!
Rick Handel – Chief Product Officer

Although any extra fat is dangerous, science now believes that thelargest health risk is when fat accumulates deep within the abdominal cavity.
A major study reported recently in the New England Journal of Medicine concludes that having too much of this ‘belly fat’ can actually double your risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, and it can triple your risk of dementia.

And here’s the most frightening statistic from this important 10-yearstudy: for every extra 2 inches (or 5 cm) around your waistline, you increase your risk of early death by up to 17%!

So what can you do to keep yourself and your family out of the obesity statistics? Health experts agree that to lose weight, you must expend more calories than you take in.  That’s easy advice to hear, but it can be painful to follow. That’s why so many people turn to fad diets, but they don’t work because they’re based on marketing, not science.

Scientists understand that there are four distinct aspects that must all be addressed for weight loss success. Other diet products fail because they only deal with one or two parts of the equation.

But if you’ve been hoping for someone to come up with a real answer, I’m happy to tell you that finally, “The Weight is Over!” FreeLife’s Scientific Team has found the way to help you to finally lose the fat and keep it off.

I’ve been developing and formulating weight loss products for more than 30 years and I can tell you that I’ve never, ever seen anything come close to the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of what we have here.
It is so revolutionary that we have filed for three patents. This is, without question, the most incredible weight loss product I have ever seen…and its name is…is……..going to be revealed on January 10th!

This is unlike any other diet you’ve ever tried. Based on FreeLife’s groundbreaking clinical science, and featuring our exclusive triple patent pending formulation and technology, it helps you to reach and maintain a healthy weight in all four important ways:

It’s true – overweight people have some seriously hungry bacteria living in their digestive tracts. They attack your already digested food, extracting even more calories from it, and storing them as body fat.

Think of it – a bowl of cereal could yield 200 calories for a person of normal weight, but the same bowl of cereal might yield 300 calories or more for an overweight person.

It’s disturbing, and it’s unfair! This new product can get rid of the malevolent invaders, and replace them with normal healthy probiotic bacteria that can actually benefit your health!

We’ll be publishing a healthy lifestyle plan to accompany this product, and it’s an essential component of reaching your weight loss goals.

The plan includes eating well and physical activity, but thanks to the product’s triple patent pending technology and formulation, its clinically demonstrated efficacy, and its 4 way action, it will be easier than ever for you to cut some calories and increase your level of physical activity. Remember – those are the keys to finding and maintaining a healthy weight for life.

And once you’ve reached your weight goal, you can still get tremendous benefit by taking this product with just one meal per day instead of the two that we suggest for weight loss.

Every time you take it, you’ll fight the stress hormones that create belly fat, burn calories faster, help control urges and food cravings,r educe absorption of fat and starch calories, maintain healthy intestinal flora, and improve regularity.

And the benefits go far beyond weight management, as the formula contains ingredients that, in the potencies found in our product, have been clinically shown to support cardiovascular, colon, and cholesterol health, and a lot more.

Exhilarating news … The “Weight” is Over!

Know anyone that wants to lose weight?  That is a question I will be asking quite a bit over the next few years.  That’s a question you should also be asking.  Asking that question, you will have the ability to improve an awful lot of lives.

From a business perspective, I have to be honest and say that I am more excited right now than at any other time in my Freelife career.  There’s something that I have been saying since I first got involved in the Network Marketing industry many many years ago:

“If I ever started my own network marketing company, I would build it around an incredibly effective and unique weight-loss product.  That would be the quickest and most fool-proof way to massive success.”

Well guess what?  On January 10, 2009, we will have exactly that – the most effective and unique weight-loss product on the market.  Three patents are pending.  The research is there.  The science is there.  The proof is there.  Can you imagine what we are going to do with this??

Fox News did a story in July last year that stated by 2015, 75 percent of adults will be overweight and 41 percent will be obese. Weight-loss is an over $50 BILLION industry!  And we have a product that will directly address 4 key areas that will help people lose weight more effectively than ever before:

1. This product fights abdominal fat by suppressing the body’s production of the stress hormones that cause it. The formula also contains special starch and fat blockers that help to reduce the amount of calories absorbed from the foods you eat.
2. The product has been clinically shown to enhance metabolism by turning on the body’s calorie burning power. It turbocharges any kind of exercise so that you could walk for 30 minutes, but get the calorie burning effect of running! And that metabolic boost lasts for hours.
3. This product features multidimensional appetite control. Key ingredients work on the pleasure centers of the brain to help suppress food cravings and the urge for between-meal snacks. It also promotes the early release of CCK, the satiety hormone that tells your brain that you’re full. These effects make it easier for you to cut out unwanted calories.
4. Our product cleanses and replenishes with NuFlora™, an advanced proprietary soluble fiber complex that has been clinically proven to delay the absorption of food calories, promote regularity, clear metabolic toxins, and remodel your intestinal flora to get rid of bad bacteria that may actually be causing you to gain weight. It’s true – overweight people have some seriously hungry bacteria living in their digestive tracts. They attack your already digested food, extracting even more calories from it, and storing them as body fat. Think of it – a bowl of cereal could yield 200 calories for a person of normal weight, but the same bowl of cereal might yield 300 calories or more for an overweight person. It’s disturbing, and it’s unfair! This new product can get rid of the malevolent invaders, and replace them with normal healthy Probiotic bacteria that can actually benefit your health!

The double-blind study on this product came back so incredibly positive that it was repeated 3 times to make sure it was right.  Anyone who is promoting this product aggressively is going to make a fortune in 2009 and is going to enhance more people’s lives that you ever imagined.

So, do you know anyone that wants to lose weight?

I really enjoy Thanksgiving because it really does give us a reason to reflect and be thankful for all of the wonderful blessings in our lives.  I am extremely thankful this year for my family who I love more than anything, and all of the wonderful friends, associates and business partners that I have.  Thank you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

At the end of the day are you satisfied with what you accomplished in your business?  Do you ever say “Where did the day go, I hardly got anything accomplished?“.

I know when I first started working on my own full-time from home, I thought my days would be long and I’d have plenty of time to get a lot more accomplished than I did when I worked a full-time job.  What’s funny though is my days go by so quickly now that I can’t possibly comprehend where the time goes.  Does that mean that I love what I do and it’s fun and not work which makes the time go more quickly?  I’m sure that’s a very big part of it.  But the fact remains that at the end of many days, I look back and see that too much of my time was wasted on non-income producing activities.

The first step to fixing a problem is realizing that you have a problem.  At least then you know what needs fixed.  Once I realized I had a problem, I started researching ways to solve my productivity dilemma.  The first thing I learned is that I needed to get good at figuring out what activities were income generating and which were not.  With some activities, it’s very easy to tell.  With others, as you’ll see, it’s not easy at all.

To help give you some guidelines, here are some classic examples of non-income generating activities.  Ask yourself if you’re guilty of any of these?

• Surfing the web
• Getting ready to get ready (aka “Saddling Up” which is not riding)
• Reorganizing something that doesn’t need reorganized
• Chatting with business partners about non-critical things
• Reviewing company material
• Checking email
• Cleaning up your desk or your office
• Attending conference calls or webinars
• Growing your social network on sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. (disclaimer-this can be income generating but it’s longer term income, not much short-term income potential)
• Reading a self-development book (this activity, like the last one, will definitely have an impact on your income but it’s just hard to measure since it will be much longer term)

What are income producing activities?:

• Calling prospects to set appointments or send them info to review
• Doing 3-way calls with your ME’s
• Prospecting / Generating leads
• Presenting the opportunity to prospects in person, on the phone or in a webinar
• Following up with a prospect
• Following up with a new customer or ME
• Training a new ME so he gets moving out of the gate quickly duplicating proper activities

80% of your time should be spent on the above types of activities

Dramatically Increase Income-Producing Activities — Alex Lopez with Sydney-based Quantify Corporation uses a simple technique to double his income-producing activities.  He divides his to-do list into two columns.  Column one is labeled “Non-income Producing Activities” (Red) and Column two is labeled “Income Producing Activities” (Green).  He then forces himself to place a to-do item in one of the two columns.  When he first started, his non-income producing activities outnumbered his income-producing activities by a two to one ratio.  Over time, he’s been able to flip that ratio.  This is an excellent exercise for ALL of us to follow.  As Quantify Corporation’s tagline says “If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it.”

The trick is to create your task list for tomorrow as the last thing you do today.  When you get up tomorrow, you can charge head-on immediately into the tasks that you need to accomplish for the day without even thinking about them.  Try it, it REALLY works!!

Some thoughts from others on the importance of their daily agenda…

“The secret of a person’s success is discovered in his daily agenda.” — John C. Maxwell

“The whole purpose of time management is to enable you to have more time to spend with the people you love, doing the things you enjoy.”  — Brian Tracy

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.” –  Thomas Huxley (1825-1895)

“Every morning when the alarm goes off, we have a totally new opportunity to do what we want with the hours we have been gifted. And we are gifted with that clean slate every day for the rest of our lives.”  –  Hyrum Smith, Originator of the Franklin Planner, 2000

So what are you going to do tomorrow?  Make it count!
