Archive for December, 2009

2010 is here and it is time to state your resolutions for the New Year. As I look back on 2009, I noticed a few areas of my life that need to be improved and the same with my business. I always like to reflect on the past year and make a list of my accomplishments and a list of the things that I fell short of. I don’t like to call them failures because I don’t look at them like that. My opinion is the fact that I tried and fell short is a learning process for future decisions. I encourage everyone to do the same.

The most important point to remember is that for things to change you must change. We are not in the wishing business. We need to layout a plan for the New Year with thought and reflection. Let’s first take a look at the definition of resolution.To be effective you need to first understand the meaning.

Resolution:

• a formal expression by a meeting; agreed to by a vote
• resolving power: the ability of a microscope or telescope to measure the angular separation of images that are close together
• resoluteness: the trait of being resolute; “his resoluteness carried him through the battle”; “it was his unshakeable resolution to finish the work”
• finding a solution to a problem
• settlement: something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making; “they finally reached a settlement with the union”; “they never did achieve a final resolution of their differences”; “he needed to grieve before he could achieve a sense of closure”
• analysis into clear-cut components
• (computer science) the number of pixels per square inch on a computer-generated display; the greater the resolution, the better the picture
• the subsidence of swelling or other signs of inflammation (especially in a lung)
• (music) a dissonant chord is followed by a consonant chord
• solution: a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem; “they were trying to find a peaceful solution”; “the answers were in the back of the book”; “he computed the result to four decimal places”
• a decision to do something or to behave in a certain manner; “he always wrote down his New Year’s resolutions”

Let’s get started. First of all you have to realize that for a resolution to have any chance of succeeding it must have a plan attached. For example, many people will state that in 2010 they will get in shape and focus on their health. The problem is that they never break it down into it’s components and make a plan. A better resolution would be, in 2010 I will get in shape. I will accomplish this by doing the following. I will join our local gym, I will exercise 3-4 times a week for 45 min or more, I will eat healthy meals and I will not eat after 7:00 PM. I will commit to this for the entire year. Can you see the difference between the two examples. To many people are wishing versus committing to change.

The same principle goes for the next favorite resolution. I will get out of debt in 2010. The problem is they think they are going to show up at work one day and get a major raise. How many people think that is actually going to happen? So just like the previous example you have to break it down into components for you to achieve this resolution. You might start by getting educated on the benefits of starting a home business and doing a search for a company that you can be passionate about. Try their products and develop your own product testimonial. Commit to a weekly plan of action. I will commit 5-10 hours a week to my business. I will commit to my business for 12 months. I will not be swayed by other offers. This is critical. Many people jump from one company to next and never give their business enough time to succeed. Their is no shortcut to success. Any business worth your time is going to take time to build.

My hope for you is that everyone achieves all of their resolutions. 2010 is the year of improved health and wealth. It is the year of improving your relationships  and building new relationships. Deep down inside whether you believe it or not success is closer than you think. No matter how tough your situation may be presently you each have the opportunity to change it. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you prepare for 2010 and the impact it will have on the rest of your life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!

When you bring up the term Network Marketing what response do you get? Do you here the phrase pyramid scam , ponzi scam or I would never do that? Did you ever wonder what information people have to make such claims?

What is Network Marketing?
Multi-level marketing (MLM), (also called network marketing) is a term that describes a marketing structure used by some companies as part of their overall marketing strategy. The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by compensating promoters of company products not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of other promoters they introduce to the company, creating a team of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.

So, what is the problem with MLM and network marketing?

Maybe it’s the so called pyramid structure? But you can’t really take issue with the tiered compensation structure—almost every large sales organization in the world has that. Salespeople get commission, and sales managers get overrides or bonuses on top of that, and sales directors on top of that, and VPs on top of that. Actually the shape is more of a reverse pyramid with plenty of room at the top for everyone.

Or maybe it’s the fact that there is a start up cost? But that can’t be it—that’s a standard franchising model. How many franchises can you open for $1000 or less?

Now certainly, there are illegal pyramid, or “Ponzi”, schemes. This is where the money is all being made off of signing up other people, with little or no real product ever being delivered. But in spite of whatever perceptions people may have, the fact is that Network Marketing companies have sold millions upon millions of dollars of products to happy customers, many of whom are NOT also reps. So, there may be a perception problem here, but if so, the perception is out of line with the reality.

But surely the bad reputation Network Marketing (MLM) has some more basis in fact than the occasional illegal pyramid scheme?

The real problem with MLM is not MLM itself, but some of the people it attracts. Network marketing is just a business model, and it really amounts to “micro-franchising”. Its upside is that it has a very low cost of entry, with the potential for exceptional revenue, and there are those who achieve that.

But those same things that make it attractive to many who are NOT really qualified or prepared to become business owners. The salient characteristics of MLM make it attractive to people who:

* have not done well in their business or profession and have little money saved up to invest
* have no previous experience owning or running a business
* have no previous experience in sales
* have little or no experience developing business relationships other than that of employer/employee/co-worker
* are not satisfied with their current level of income
* have unrealistic expectations of the amount of work involved compared to the revenue realized

Don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with any of these things, or that this describes even a majority of network marketers—only that it describes a disproportionate number of network marketers, and that many of them never do anything about it.

As a result, many network marketers end up:

* over-selling the opportunity
* inappropriately discussing business in social situations
* coming across as desperate
* over-focused on new recruits and neglecting existing customers as a result
* being either inaccurate or deceptive when talking about their business

This might sound a little harsh but my favorite quote is: There are 2 types of people in our business, Network Marketing Professional and MLM Morons. If you become a Network Marketing Professional this industry will reward you with everything you are looking for.

So what’s the solution?

There’s a first time for everything. And network marketing/MLM is a great opportunity for people to have their first business, their first sales role, etc. My point is this—recognize it for what it is: it’s a business, and you are a business owner. And if you’ve never owned a business before, if you’ve never done sales before, if you’ve never networked before, you need to learn about how to do so, not just from the network marketing/MLM experts, but from established experts in those fields.

Network marketing professionals who are serious about building a business should be reading and learning about business fundamentals, the latest sales and marketing techniques, strategies for networking and business development, etc., not just swapping tips at your team’s weekly or monthly meeting. Act like a small business owner, and people will treat you like one.

A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Nutrient Absorption

Max N-Fuze ™, the third and newest product from Max International, represents a radical new approach to nutrient supplementation. This breakthrough, patent-pending product design represents the fusion of established science and forward-thinking nanotechnology to ensure your cells are receiving the nutrients they need to perform and communicate to their full potential

Why Most Vitamins Don’t Work

Getting the right nutrients on a daily basis is very difficult. Soils are depleted of vital trace elements, factory farming practices and over-processing has drastically reduced the nutrients available from food. Vitamin and mineral supplements have long been the solution but most are not absorbed into your body’s cells.

Most Vitamins exit your body without ever being utilized.

Decades ago, taking any dietary supplement was accepted as a novel way to give your body what it needs. We now know that just because you take a dietary supplement does not mean that your cells are efficiently absorbing the nutrients.

• Consumption Does Not Guarantee Absorption
• The Effectiveness of a Vitamin is Entirely Dependent Upon Absorption
• If The Nutrient Is Not Delivered To The Cell, It Holds Little To No Value

The Essential Nutrients Delivered Directly To Your Cells

Max N-Fuze™ is a complete redefinition of effective nutrient-transport technology. Nano-activators work to optimize the cellular delivery of each ingredient. Max N-Fuze™ uses a patent-pending nanotechnology to efficiently deliver targeted nutrients that are readily absorbed and utilized by the cell. This breakthrough consists of wrapping nano-sized nutrients in a highly purified water cluster that easily delivers the nutrient particles to the cell.

Max N-Fuze™ Solves the Absorption Riddle

The Max system solves the problem of bioavailability by:

• Reducing the Active Substance to Nano-Size (less than 100 nm in size)
• Wrapping Each Nutrient in Nano-Sized Water Clusters For Rapid Absorption
• Allowing Enhanced Passage Through The Cell Membranes

A Patent-Pending Delivery System

Until now, no technique has been successful at bonding the nutrient particle to a carrier while reducing the particle to a “cellular-ready” size. The Max Cellular Transport System accomplishes both and has been chosen by Max International as the means of providing the consumer with a product that is uniquely superior to the competition.

No Tall Tales, Just Hard Science

Only the Max Cellular Transport System process can create a stable water cluster capable of passing through the bloodstream directly into tissues at the cellular level.

Don’t be fooled. While some companies tout “nano” products, the size of their particles cannot meet the criteria (one dimension of the particle must be 100 nm or less) and therefore the term nano is simply an empty marketing term that can mislead less informed readers.

• Allows enhanced passage through cellular membranes by encapsulating nano-sized particles within a highly purified water cluster for efficient absorption.
• All three antioxidant protectors: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione
• D-ribose and CoQ10 to support ATP (energy) production and function
• Promotes the body’s natural enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as Leptin sensitivity
• Provides the nutrients to optimize glutathione (GSH) production
• Delivers the essential vitamins, minerals and herbal ingredients to support optimal cell function, communication and immune defense

The Whole Food Comparison

To find the equal value of nutrients in a single serving of Max N-Fuze™, you would have to consume:

• 1 cup of spinach to equal the amount of vitamin A
• 4 oranges to equal the amount of vitamin C
• 8 glasses of milk to equal the amount of vitamin D
• 6 pounds of avocados to equal the amount of vitamin E
• 150 cloves of garlic to equal the amount of vitamin B-1
• 6 cups of almonds to equal the amount of vitamin B-2
• 5 large potatoes to equal the amount of niacin
• 3 pounds of raw cauliflower to equal the amount of vitamin B-5
• 70 eggs to equal the amount of vitamin B-6
• 40 spears of asparagus to equal the amount of folate
• 2 gallons of yogurt to equal the amount of vitamin B-12
• 28.5 cups of Swiss chard to equal the amount of biotin
• 3.5 pounds of raw tofu to equal the amount of selenium
• 4.5 cups of green peas to equal the amount of zinc
• 6 cups of garbanzo beans to equal the amount of manganese

Safe and Effective…Guaranteed!

Max N-Fuze™ is the newest demonstration of Max International’s continued commitment to provide breakthrough products with efficacy and safety. To signify this commitment, Max N-Fuze™ was subjected to vigorous safety testing at Clemson University. Additionally, Max International is a member of the Institute of Nutraceutical Research (INR).

The INR is a leading research group that consolidates the intellectual and physical resources of faculty at Clemson University and links these resources to South Carolina Nutrition Research Consortium (SCNRC) involving the South Carolina Research Authority, the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of SC in a unique partnership.

Do most people “FAIL” in Network Marketing(MLM) or just quit?

This is by far the question that causes people to not get involved in the Network Marketing Industry. Understanding the answer this question can change your opinion and truly change your life.

There is a second part to this answer. You not only need to understand the failure syndrome you have to give your business enough time to succeed. I have laid out a time line with realistic expectations for you to consider.

Year 1: Build your understanding of the industry and your specific company. Become profitable during your first 12 months on a part-time basis.
Year 2: Continue to build your skill level on a part time basis and develop a residual income of $2,000 – $5000/month.
Year 3: Go full-time with your business if that is your goal.
Year 4: Develop a $10,000+/month income with your business.
Year 5: Become a Network Marketing Professional and Superstar with your company.

Network Marketing is about consistent activity performed daily that drives you toward your goal. The term is NetWORK Marketing not NetDONOTHING Marketing.

We can have an intelligent conversation and lay out a game plan that works for your situation.

Understanding the Max International Compensation Plan

After you have established the credibility of the company and the impact of the product the next step is to evaluate the compensation plan. Being compensated fairly for your hard work is very important. In my 15 years in the Network Marketing industry, I have never seen such a powerful and quantifiable product combined with a such a  lucrative compensation program. The Max Plan is a revolutionary compensation plan designed to pay out a maximum of 50% CV to the field sales organization, and gives you nine ways to earn as an Associate. Based on your personal effort and results, the Max Plan can help you reach your personal income goals, whatever they may be-some extra cash every month, enough for a car payment, or even enough to entirely replace your income and live the life of your dreams.

Dr. Mabray said he constantly strives to establish better, less invasive, treatment methods that treat patients using few medications, while trying to raise patient awareness regarding personal responsibility. He is a long-time advocate of nutritional supplements.

After his introduction he began to offer MaxGXL® on a small scale to patients, family and friends. “It rapidly became obvious that MaxGXL® had something special, yielding quality of life improvement in multiple areas. I am now a full-fledged fan.” Dr. Mabray said this is his first serious exposure to network marketing but has had a great experience at Max International. His sponsor, he said, has been fantastic at providing training for him and he is impressed with how he’s been able to get answers to any issues he’s encountered. Dr. Mabray said he would encourage all of his medical friends to get acquainted with MaxGXL® – what it is and why it works. “I encourage the medical board to devise clinical studies that we can share and perform in our practices to document the power of our product to safely change lives.” He hopes that Max headquarters and Dr. Keller can design multi-center studies so doctors can use their collective experience to best advantage. “I am honored to serve in this capacity and will do my best to uphold the quality and integrity of our founders and leaders.”
