MLM Network Marketing Training- MLM Leadership- The Two Gold

" MLM Leadership-The Two Golden Words.."
By Doug Firebaugh
Many a Leader in Network Marketing get into the business, and really go after it....they see where they want to go, and truly start on an excited journey to success....but little by little, it starts to fade...
Ever seen that in you or your folks?
The gleam in their eyes has started to fade, and the pounding in their heart is not as strong, and the Fire in their words is now burning low...
Where did it go? What happened?
And as a Leader,you think" What caused it?", and why can't you see this "Creeping Cancer" start?
You can...
And you can actually help prevent it...with what we at PassionFire call "The Two Golden Words..."
Too many times in MLM Leaders are blindsided by something that most Leaders are not even aware of, or at least not focused on it....and if they were, the "Creeping Cancer" could be at least diagnosed, and dealt with on an emergency basis...
As a Leader, or an Aspiring Leader in Network Marketing, you will build an organization, and many times will shake your head at people quitting, walking away, for no apparent reason....and most of the time, it is caused by one thing....and it truly is a 'Creeping Cancer" in your business and the Industry as a whole...as well as Life itself...
What is that Cancer?
Compromise.
And what are the Two Golden Words in MLM Success?
NO COMPROMISE.
Simply...you, as a Leader, must promote and enroll your folks in a No Compromise Vision...(CLUE!!!) How does this happen?
Well...it starts with a Lack of awareness that this can and will happen, and if it is not focused on and handled, will grow as a part of how most mediocre people live their lives...Little by little, inch by inch..a little compromise here...a little compromise there...Lowering their standards and expectations for success.... ..that is how this business becomes a low priority with folks after a while...
It's called "The Rust Factor"...Just as a new piece of steel if left to the elements will rust...so does your Vision and dreams if left to the "Elements of Compromise...
" The "Rain of Doubt..." The "Wind of Frustration... " The "Hail of Negatives" The "Storm of Adversity...." The "Heat of Anger...."
RUST.....Regressing Under Someone-else's Thinking.... Do you do that???????
Lower and regress you dreams under someone else's Little thinking and "advice"? DON"T!!!!!!!!!
How does this happen with the new distributor?
1. The new MLM distributor sets high goals, and starts their business, but after a little while with little results, they lower their dreams, and compromise their success...and life...and future..and expectations..
2. The new MLM distributor starts their business, and as they start contacting their warm market, the people they hold in high regard are negative to them, and want to "Bring them down to earth"...and to "reality"...and due to their Influence, the new distributor compromises His/Her success by lowering or abandoning their dreams, to please their friends...to "Fit in" and not rock the "Boat of Acceptance...."
3. After a while, the new distributor gets to know some "Veteran Distributors.." and these folks "Tell it the way it is..."..and whine and complain to the new distributor, and the newbie starts to lower their dreams and goals to "Fall in line" with what is "real" in MLM...compromising their life again...
What if Abraham Lincoln had compromised His Standards?What if Thomas Jefferson had Compromised His Standards? What if Mother Teresa had compromised Her standards?
Greatness in ANY Leadership endeavor starts with a NO COMPROMISE Mindset and "Heartset" as well..... And the sad part about it, a lot of MLM Leaders are the one's who compromise their New Distributor's dreams and standards because they have not been dilligent in their own pursuit of success...(Are you guilty?)What can you do?
Start a "NO COMPROMISE Campaign" with your group....
1. Announce it to your group....and tell them NO ONE is going to steal their future as long as you are their Leader...NO ONE!
2) Tell them that Compromise is NOT AN OPTION in your group...amd you will STAY THE COURSE-REACH THE DREAM...which is the true Secret of Leadership in this Business...and the 3 most important words to drive your campaign: NO MATTER WHAT!
3. And "NO COMPROMISE" Flyers, button, stickers, whatever you want to promote the message....and everytime you chat with your Leaders...remind them... Only People who DON"T ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS... compromise...We WILL achieve our dreams.... NO MATTER WHAT!
And one final thought... The Last word in Compromise is Promise....
Are you focused on that part of the word?If you have compromised, you have broken a Sacred Leadership Promise, and Trust, to Navigate your folks to Success...
What does a promise mean to you?What does your Vision and your Folk's Vision mean to them?
DON"T let life, or negative people compromise your future, dreams, and Success...
Don't Compromise..... but CAN-Promise.... and Lead your people to a future that CAN and WILL be achieved...but only with a NO COMPROMISE Leadership..... NO MATTER WHAT!
Compromise... The "Creeping Cancer" of MLM Leadership...
Cut the Tumor out at the Heart of the Cancer....
with Radical and Massive Radiation Treatment called... Passionate Leadership in MLM and Network Marketing.!

What Everyone Should Know About How To Buy Wholesale
By: Melanie Burns
Finding a supplier for the product you want to sell, at a price that you can profit from, can be a big task. The best suppliers for your online sales or auctions do not advertise their services and often cannot be found online.
Those that you can find online tend to be middle-men. It is often difficult to get a good enough price to make any real profit online.
Let me tell you about my simple 2 step system to find an untapped source for wholesale suppliers. This is so simple that it's often overlooked as a source for product. This system involves thinking outside the box and not letting policy stop you. (continued below)
The First Step to find a supplier is to find someone that already sells or has access to what you want to sell. This could be a website, an eBay seller, a manufacturer, a wholesale outlet, or a regular store in your city. This is the easy step. You know what you are looking for and you can search on the internet, not for a wholesale source, but for anyone already selling what you want to sell.
Another valuable source for a local supplier is your local phone book. The yellow pages are the best way to find local sources. This should be the first place you look. Doing business locally with someone that you can meet face to face is a big plus for your business.
Another potential source for your product is to find a distributor who would be willing to private label a product for you. You could get a very high quality product for a much lower price than if it had the name brand label.
The Second and Key Step is to convince the source you found to become your supplier.
Manufacturers and wholesale sources often have minimum orders that might be beyond your reach if you are just starting out. Online retailers, eBay merchants, and retail stores may be your best bet. Try to find a small store who is looking to expand.
But remember, you are dealing with a human being and they can be convinced to do business with you. Just be sure to sweeten the deal for them. One way is to offer the person you are dealing with at your new found source, a percentage of your profits from the products he supplies you.
Be sure to project it out for him. If he can see the benefit of working with you even though it causes extra work for him, you can be successful in making a deal.
You could offer him 20% of the profit from sales of his products. For example you could show him that you project to make at least $100 profit from each product, and you expect to sell 40 of them per month. The $4000 a month means an extra $800 per month in his pocket. You still make a nice $3200 profit for the month in this example.
On top of that, he will be ordering more products from his supplier and may be eligible for a higher price break from them. This way, his reward for the effort to work with you, is making money on both sides.
There are many benefits you can offer your potential supplier, but no matter how you look at it, the main thing it comes down to is MONEY. What's in it for your potential supplier to do business with you? If can you show him that, you have a better chance of making a deal with him and starting your online sales.
NOTE: When looking for suppliers around your city, don't go trying to impress the big stores with your $800 or even $3,000 extra income per month proposal. Try going to the little stores that are looking to expand their business, they are the ones that are usually more open to new opportunities.
The big stores are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month in profits, so an extra couple of thousand would probably not impress them the least bit.
So now you see that by thinking outside the box, you open the door to many possibilities and increase your ability to make money online with your products.
