I found many, either, naively believe any “to good to be true” story or they are in complete denial. They so desperately want it all but only if they don’t have to do anything different. Only if they never have change, stretch or be uncomfortable. With this group their is no real desire to actually be free. This fantasy (the wish) keeps them jumping from one thing to the next. Never committing. Never learning. Never going all out.

There are networkers that tout the merits of their business. The compensation plan is this or it’s that. The products are created with these organic and ethically practices etc. This not where the rubber meets the road. This is not the critical factor for success. There’s many great compensation plans and even greater products. In each of these business there are more people that fall through the cracks than find success. So if the comp plan isn’t key then what is?

Online business success depends on at least 3 things that are critical.

First, the seeker must come to grips with and accept that there is no free lunch. As my mentor Jeffrey Combs says “There’s a price to pay for success. And everyone pays up front and in full”. A real business takes real time, energy and commitment and only they themselves can make it happen.

Second, is evaluating “who” they will be working with. Who own the company? Can they be contacted? Who would work with you directly? Do they respond when you call or email them? Is there a money back guarantee? Can you trust them? Having great relationships with trusted partners who are dedicated to your success is more important than a compensation plan. Having someone you trust advise you on the best opportunities and steer you away from pitfalls is invaluable.

There is no perfect, risk-free solution when it comes to creating an online business. However, there are new examples of online business success everyday. Maybe this isn’t the right fit but if your ready (really ready) and your not prone to fantasy and denial, then

Lead generation is all about getting your name in front of people who will buy
your product or join your opportunity. These people are your target market and
they can’t be sold on what you are offering if they don’t know you exist. The
first step in getting on their radar is figuring out exactly who your target
market is.

Whether you are selling an opportunity or a product, the people who are most
likely to be interested in what you are offering is your target market. A good
example of this is if you are promoting a business opportunity that can be
worked out of the home. Your target market might be stay at home moms because
they would be attracted to the idea of making money while taking care of the
kids at home.

Before you start any type of lead generation program, you should have an idea of
who your target market is. This will prevent you from wasting money and time
trying to market to people who don’t have the slightest interest in what you are
selling. Sit down in a quiet place with a piece of paper and brainstorm the kind
of people who would be attracted to your product or opportunity.

When you’ve figured out who your target audience is, then you can start
implementing strategies to attract them. One option that works well is to
advertise in areas where they hang out. On the internet, that would include
blogs, classified ads, forums, and social networking websites. Not all of these
options are free so evaluate the cost effectiveness of any that require a
monetary investment.

Another popular internet marketing strategy to attract prospects is to write
articles and submit them to article directories and blogs. People love
information. If you write an article that solves a problem they are having then
they are most likely to view you as an expert on the topic you wrote about. This
means they will approach you for solutions to other problems they need help with
and give you the opportunity to sell to them.

When it comes to marketing, the email list is the Holy Grail. A list of opted in
subscribers will provide a rich source of prospects that you can mine for those
people who are ready to sign up to your opportunity. Unfortunately, the problem
with spam has many people tightfisted about giving up their email address. To
encourage them to hand it over, you’ll need to offer an incentive like a free
training course or e-book.

Although network marketing lead generation seems simple on paper, it can be
challenging to do when put in practice. However, if you stay focused and work
hard you’ll have a slew of prospects beating down your door in no time.

For many people, in particular those of us who are left-brained and task driven,
not much. We want to know what to do. “What steps do I need to take to reach my
goals?” “Don’t talk to me about that ethereal stuff!”

In the past, I’ve said that “Nothing gets done by simply thinking about it”.
While I still attest to the fact that accomplishment requires action, my mind
has changed regarding the unstated meaning, the implied “and furthermore…”.
That is, that mindset should be the lowest priority or even disregard altogether.

This past month, I was challenged by a mentor in a mastermind group
to write down my business goals and email them to him. Which I did.
So, then I was committed, no excuses

Although, this public declaration of my intent played a significant part in
realizing my goal, I’m convinced, it was the changes I made to my mindset
that put me over the top.

What is ‘Mindset’ anyway?

There are books written on the subject and there are several definitions
but I like this simple answer:

“A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines
a persons responses to and interpretations of situations.”

In other words, the way I interpret and respond to situations is pre-programmed
based on what I think about. And it seems reasonable then to assume, that, for
the most part, my responses will be positive if my thoughts are positive and
vice-versa.

“What you think about, comes about”
“As you sow, so shall you reep”
“Out of the heart, the tongue speaks”

I began to change my negative thoughts by simply disagreeing with them. I would
catch myself pondering my ‘underwhelming’ sales or stressing out about upcoming
bills. I would contradict my thoughts by saying something like:

“No, that’s wrong. I am the leader people are looking for. There’s an
abundance of qualified people who will only get into business with me”

(I did this silently, if I was in public. It’s better to keep quiet and
let people think your weird, than to speak up and remove all doubt.)

These affirmations did change my attitude. But what I found most remarkable
was that I was focusing on the solution and taking action. Absent was the feeling
sorry for myself and navel gazing.

As a result, I not only achieved my goal, I exceeded it. It was the most
stress-free month I can remember.

Mindset can energize you or it can stifle you. But it’s not neutral. It’s our
responsibility to take charge of our own programming and to use mindset
to our advantage. If you’re interested learning more about how you can drive
your own success through the power of your mind, sign in to my newletter on

I’ve come to the conclusion that ‘try” is a four letter word.

• Try = Do One’s Best

• Try = Take A Stab At It

• Try = Song & Dance

• Try = Off The Hook

• Try = FAIL

“Do, or do not. There is no try.”

This well know ‘Star Wars’ quote is no more true than it is in business.

On the surface, when someone says “I’ll Try”, it may sound positive or that
there’s an agreement to a course of action. But in actuality, it’s negative
and uncertain.

Of course, when someone ‘tries’, it doesn’t mean that they’re certain to
fail. But it does mean that they are uncertain of success. And to put it more
strongly, they’re not committed to success and, in fact, that they accept that
FAILURE IS AN OPTION.

To “Try” is to not fully commit
To “Try” is to excuse underwhelming performance
To “Try” is to give permission to fail.

Often, the thing we say in the face of a challenge is “I’ll try” because we
don’t know “how” to make it happen. We evaluate the probability of
success before we decide to commit to success. Why is that? Are we
stacking our average or are we afraid to fail? In all likelihood, it’s both.
Figuratively, it’s like crossing the fingers behind the back.

“I can’t be held responsible for my lack of success if I
wasn’t truly committed to success in the first place”.

The key is the decision. It’s not only important to have a clear picture of
what your success will look like, it’s also important to decide that you
will be successful.

I came across something in a book I was reading. It’s called The Game Of
Life and How To Play It by Florence Shinn. She was talking about
the affect thoughts have on outcomes. I had heard of this concept before,
however, this time I actually listened. There were three things that struck
me. One is the strictness of the discipline. That is, the smallest negative
thought has an impact. Two, that controlling my thoughts is a journey
not a destination. And three, imperfection is not grounds for self
condemnation.

Just as we consider our integrity on the big things, the white lies, the
exaggerations and the minor verbal inaccuracies should not be brushed
under the carpet. Especially when we’re proclaiming some limitation. They
should be confronted, in the moment, and contradicted. Repeating the positive
to counteract the negative. Being in a constant state of improvement so that
perfection is not the expectation.

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a conference. However,
I didn’t have the money to buy a ticket. I really wanted to go, so
I decided to relax, think positively and do all that I could so that my
future sales would cover the cost of my ticket. As time went on and
my business volume was still less than the cost to the ticket, I decided
to take a closer look at how I was thinking and what I was believing.

It’s true, I was focusing on sales building activities but there was evidence
that I didn’t truly believe that I was going to be successful. If I was sure
I was attending the conference, I would have scheduled vacation time
at my job. I hadn’t done that. I would have booked my flight. I hadn’t
done that either.

As long as we consider failure as a possible outcome, failure becomes
much more likely.

The farther I go into my entrepreneurial career, the more I see
the impact thoughts and words have on results. And that mindset
can be guided by thoughts and words to produce desirable
outcomes.

While the established online auctions were using the “traditional auction”
model, Michael Hansen, DubLi founder, first conceived using the “reverse
auction” concept in the consumer market. This model is a win, win, win for
customer, network marketer and DubLi.

The key difference between traditional and reverse auctions is the difference
in bidding practice and it’s affect on price. Traditionally, the competitive
nature of the auction drives the price up, to the benefit of the seller. In the
reverse auction model, bids drive the price down, to the benefit of the consumer.

Here’s where it gets interesting. In the reverse model, the customer doesn’t know
the current low bid because it’s hidden. They must spend a credit ($0.80) in
order to see the current bid. And every time any customer checks the current
bid, the retail price is reduced by $0.25. With the potential of 100′s or 1000′s
of customers checking the current bid, it easy to see the how fast the retail
price can drop.

When the credit is spent, the customer has the option to purchase the item at
the current low bid. They may decide to purchase immediately or wait for the
retail price to be reduced further. However the risk in waiting is that someone
else will beat them to it and buy the item. (Go “all in” if they think they’ve
got the best hand or pass and let someone else “steal the pot”)

DubLi chose the use of, what many would say is, the best marketing strategy
available. They accomplished their phenomenal growth using word of mouth
advertising and traditional offline prospecting methods. Business
associates introduce new potential customers and BA’s to the auction. DubLi
uses the profit between the credit ($0.80) and retail price reduction ($0.25)
to compensate the sales force, pay operating expenses and company profit.

DubLi has put together a new online reverse auction model that’s designed to
benefit the company but also the network marketing sales force and the customer.
Only time will tell if Michael Hansen’s vision will claim market share from
the traditional auctions. At any rate he has created an organization the appears
to benefit all.

As shocking as this may seem, there are times
when my decisions are unwise. As far as my decision to enroll in Traffic Formula 2.0 is concerned, that wasn’t one of those times.

As I’m writing this, I’m only half way through the first video of the third TF2 module. I’m so blow away and inspired by the value of Ben’s copywriting content, that I had to pause the recording. The ideas for this article were spilling out of me and I had to get them down while they were still fresh.

Actually, I’m certain Ben didn’t literally ‘kick the bucket’, but considering the quality of the information and teaching he’s opening up to the ‘public’ domain, I wonder if he hasn’t damaged his own business. If he has secrets left for his regular clients, I’m not sure what that would be.

I’m sorry to say that Ben doesn’t take new clients, but that’s a good thing…because if you tried to learn from him one on one your head would explode and the rest of you would turn inside out. The only headline in your future would be found in the obituaries.

Desire and Dedication VS The Law of Diminishing Returns? You may desire to be Ben’s client and you may be dedicated to achieving that end, however, if wisdom is the better part of valour, then it would be wise not to explode and implode simultaneously.

Fortunately, you have an alternative, which, you will be pleased to know, will leave you physically intact.

As you maybe aware, enrollment in TF 2.0 has been closed for several months. But for a very short time (Thursday August 20, for only 18 hours), Mike’s opening the enrollment to Traffic Formula 2.0 and you have the opportunity to apply, at a deep discount.

…but you must act immediately to ensure your spot.
