1. It’s got to be a BIG idea that you, your team and your customers can “get” in seconds. 2. Strive to create 10x – 100x in value for any price you charge. Your rewards are always proportionate to the value you provide. 3. You must charge a premium price so you have a large margin to provide an extraordinary value & experience. 4. Provide a ‘Reason Why’ customers should do business with you and pay you a premium. 5. Get paid before you deliver your product or service. And when possible figure out how to create recurring revenue from transactions. 6. You get to make the rules for your business. Don’t let industry norms dictate how you’ll work or who you’ll work with. 7. Create your business around your life instead of settling for your life around your business. 8. Consistently and constantly force yourself to focus on the ‘critically few’ proactive activities that produce exponential results. Don’t get caught up in minutia & bullshit. 9. Seek to minimize start-up risk but have maximum upside potential. 10. Get your idea out there as fast as possible even if it’s not quite ready by setting must-hit deadlines. Let the market tell you if you have a winner or not. If not – move on and fail forward fast! If it’s got potential – then you can make it better. 11. Find partners and team members who are strong where you are weak and appreciate being paid on results. 12. Your reputation always counts. Honor your obligations and agreements. 13. Never, ever get paid based on hours worked. 14. Leverage your marketing activities exponentially by using direct response methods and testing. 15. Measure and track your marketing so you know what’s working and what’s not. 16. Bootstrap. Having too much capital leads to incredible waste and doing things using conventional means. 17. Your partners and employees actions are their true core – not what they tell you. 18. Keep asking the right questions to come up with innovative solutions. “How?”, “What?”, “Where?”, “Who Else?” & “Why?” open up possibilities. 19. You’ll never have a perfect business and you’ll never be totally “done”. Deal with it. 20. Focus most of your time on your core strengths and less time working in areas you suck at. 21. Make it easier for customers to buy by taking away the risk of the transaction by guaranteeing what you do in a meaningful way. 22. Always have something else to sell (via upsell, cross-sell, follow-up offer, etc) whenever a transaction takes place. The hottest buyer in the world is one who just gave you money. 23. Always go back to your existing customers with exceptional offers and reasons they should give you more money. It’s 5x less expensive to sell to happy customers than go find new ones. 24. However the flip side is – fire your most annoying customers. They’ll be replaced with the right ones. 25. The marketplace and competitors are always trying to beat you down to a commodity. Don’t let that happen. 26. Develop and build your business’s personality that stands out. People want to buy from people. 27. Create your own category so you can be first in the consumer’s mind. 28. Go the opposite direction competitors are headed – you’ll stand out. 29. Mastermind and collaborate with other smart entrepreneurs if they have futures that are even bigger than their present. 30. Celebrate your victories. It’s too easy to simply move on to your next goal without acknowledging and appreciating the ‘win’. 31. Make your business AND doing business with you FUN! 32. Do the unexpected before and after anything goes wrong so customers are compelled to ‘share your story’. 33. Get a life! Business and making money are important but your life is the sum total of your experiences. Go out and create experiences & adventures so you can come back renewed and inspired for your next big thing. 34. Give back! Commit to taking a % of your company’s sales and make a difference. It this becomes a habit like brushing your teeth pretty soon the big checks with lots of zeros won’t be scary to write. If you think you can’t donate a percentage of your sales simply raise your price. Live, Laugh, Profit and Give,

Mike Dillard, along with Mark Wieser, has just come out with his first public release of Black Belt Recruiting where he will show you how to recruit like the professionals do.  So, now I ask, how would your business look today if over the last 5 months you personally recruited 15 to 20 new associates?  Well, Mike will show you exactly how to sponsor 20 reps a month with ANY company and he is giving you a sneak peak with a 60 minute top secret recruiting video for FREE.

I do want to say one thing though and please understand, the purpose of my blog is not to just promote a bunch of products to you, but to provide you with valuable information and resources  in the network marketing industry that will help you move your business forward because I want to see you succeed.  I feel that ALL of Mike’s courses and books contain a massive amount of value for a small price and Black Belt Recruiting is just another course to add to your arsenal of resources that will help you take the next step and increase your skill level.  So, instead of you going out there and trying to research what works and what doesn’t and wondering if you’re getting your money’s worth, you can come here to find out what the top dogs are using in the industry.  I have done a lot of research and taken the time to find out exactly how these guys are successful and become six-figure income earners.

Below are just some highlights that Mike will teach you in his Black Belt Recruiting course:

- How six and seven figure network marketers close prospects on the phone

without doing any “selling.” (In fact, with Mark’s methods, the LESS you

sell, the MORE people you sponsor!)

- A sneaky way to get your competition to help you sponsor people into your

business…without them even knowing it.

- How to sponsor people who have already decided NOT to join your business!

- My “wrong number” secret that lets you sponsor FAR more prospects than

you are now… and with a LOT less effort.

- Four words that will destroy your chances of sponsoring new reps — even

the ones who already want to sign up!  (When I stopped saying these four

words —that 99% of networkers say during calls — my

sponsoring rate shot through the roof.)

- How to instantly “de-fang” loud and obnoxious prospects— and actually

have them apologizing and pleading with you to show them the plan.  (This

secret works even if they were dead set against networking before!)

- Startling facts you MUST know about sales people before you talk to them

about your business.  (Sales pros can be your best reps — but there’s a

“trick” to talking to them if you want to sponsor them into your business.)

- How to “position” yourself as a network marketing expert before you even

sponsor your first distributor!

- Why the best time to talk to a lead is AFTER they’ve talked to other

network marketers!  (If you do things “Mark’s way”, you will never again

worry if other networkers talk to your leads — in fact, you’ll

actually prefer they do.)

- A brand new breakthrough (recently discovered by social scientists) that

makes even total “newbies” irresistibly attractive to almost any prospect.

(This incredible little secret is how some new distributors are able

to sponsor dozens of people right off the bat.  Here’s how they do it.)

- How to get your prospects to ask YOU to make their decision to join your

team FOR them.  (This advanced recruiting technique makes sponsoring as easy

as taking candy from a baby.  And you will probably never hear about this

anywhere else.)

- In Black Belt Recruiting we’ll show you how to give yourself this

“success aura” that instantly attracts new prospects to you and your

business — even if you’re shy, introverted, or have the personality of a

toad now.

- Why you should almost never sponsor people who say they are “interested”

in your opportunity.  (I admit it — this was W-E-I-R-D when I first heard

it, too.  But believe it or not, when you stop sponsoring interested people,

you will automatically see your sponsoring rates skyrocket.)

- How hanging up on a prospect can dramatically increase your chances of

sponsoring him!  (This technique works so well it’s almost spooky.  Just be

careful:  You need to know how and when to hang up, and you can only do this

with certain prospects.)

- How to talk to people you are sitting next to on a plane about your

business without scaring them away.  (And one simple “counter

intuitive” thing you can do to get them almost begging you to show them the

plan!)

- A secret way to almost guarantee your prospects don’t blow off your

meetings and appointments.  (This will virtually eliminate no-shows and late

comers forever.)

- How to mentally “turn the tables” on your prospects so they

sell themselves on YOU… instead of you selling to them!  (This

amazing secret is used by every 7-figure networker on the planet.  Here’s how

to use it in YOUR business — no matter how experienced you are now.)

- How to get the best and brightest prospects seeking YOU out — without

spending any money on advertising.  (Just use this technique Mark teaches

and you’ll have people coming out of the woodwork asking about your

business.)

Amazing isn’t it?  And remember, these are just some highlights that Black Belt Recruiting has to offer.  There’s a ton more inside.

Below is your link to your FREE 60 minute top secret recruiting video.  I hope you enjoy it and after watching it, please leave comments on what you think of it.

Are you tired and frustrated of buying dead end leads?  Well, I was too and being in the network marketing industry for ten years, I have bought my share of leads ranging in price.  It seems that after you have made your names list, as we all did, with little or no results, buying leads and cold calling seems to be the place people go to keep their business going.  In your spare time in the evening you start making the calls and the phone seems to weigh a ton.  It gets harder and harder to pick it up because the fear of rejection.  This may sound familiar.  Numbers that have been disconnected, a teenager just playing around on their family computer responded to the survey, people who have no idea what your talking about, people who hang up on you before you can even talk with them, they don’t remember filling out the survey and the infamous answering machine in which you leave a message time after time with no return calls.  You get frustrated and either quit or buy more leads thinking you got a bad batch and the process starts over.

So, I finally had enough just like you may have and said to myself, why can’t I create my own leads that WANT to listen to me.  When you buy leads, each lead is sold to three to four other individuals in different companies.  So, not only are you calling them, they are calling them.  I have had my share of people telling me to take their name off my list because they keep getting phone calls and they are not interested.  Now, for a heavy price tag, you can buy leads that are sold just to you, but again you are going to pay big money for these and you may get the same results.  The lead company has a generic home-based business capture page where an individual can fill out a survey about how to get started.  As you may already know, most of the people you contact have no interest in starting a home-based business.  I actually had a lady tell me that the survey she filled out said if she filled it out she would get a free box of pampers, so she filled it out.  She had no interest what’s-so-ever on starting a business, but I paid money for that lead.  I thanked her for her time, got off the phone and just had to laugh.  Talk about frustrating.  So I thought why can’t I create a lead capture page like these companies do or start a blog with an autoresponder and start building a list of my own people who are interested in listening to me.  So I started researching internet and attraction marketing and came across a ton of websites talking about how to get started.  After a lot of reading and research, I came across some individuals that made perfect sense to me.  So I studied them and got started.  You can check out what I got started with by looking at my Marketing Resources page above or just by clicking here.

My recommendation for beginners is starting a blog with an autoresponder.  The beauty of using the autoresponder is that you can communicate with thousands of people with one email or newsletter and it works 24-7 once you set it up.  There are several blogs and autoresponders to choose from, but I use Blog i360 for my blog host and Aweber for my autoresponder.  I use them because you don’t have to have all the techie skills required to set these up.  It will take some time to get it all up and running, but will not require you to take all the time and money to learn how to set a website up.  Now you ask, but I’m not a writer.  I thought that myself, but if you are writing about your passion and interests, it will just start flowing from your fingertips.  Who knows, you might surprise yourselfJ.   I do suggest reading about copywriting and how to write effectively.  The key here again is TAKE ACTION and get started.  You will learn from your own mistakes and will only make you better.  Learn as you go and take small steps.

P.S.  If you have questions at any time, feel free to email me at tlargent@myresidualbiz.net.

Mine?  Well, not yetJ I was sent a link to Eben Pagan’s website which lets you behind the scenes of his 20 million dollar a year information marketing business on the internet.  He has put together four great videos on how he got started from just his computer in his bedroom next to his bed to a 20 million dollar business.  Inside these videos, he shares some of the methods and systems he has used to build his business to a 20 million dollar per year empire. I must say, it’s pretty impressive.  You get to see his office where all the work is done and also takes you on a surprise journey, to show you some of the benefits of working from home and marketing information products online.  This is some great information that I found very interesting and filled with valuable information and hope you do too. Enjoy!Check it out by clicking here.

I have some people ask me, “So what exactly is an enlightened millionaire anyway?”  Well, it’s a great question and I would like to share with you Robert Allen’s version of what it means and I completely agree with his definition.

An enlightened millionaire is a person who always strives to be the best they can be, who knows no boundaries, and knows that there can be abundance for all. They know that creativity is unlimited. That the application of creativity to everyday needs is the basis of providing value, which in turn creates wealth. They live in balance. Their life is a life devoted to living and sharing abundance through service that allows them to give their unique gifts–for the benefit of themselves, their families, their communities and the world.

“What is the opposite of abundance? It’s not scarcity. It’s greed. Greed is the belief that there is not enough for everyone, so you’d better grab yours now. What is the opposite of love? It’s not hate. It’s fear. Fear is the belief that someone or something can hurt you.”“Ultimately, the product you sell is love—manifested and materialized.”

- Robert G. Allen
