Ditch the Network Marketing Scripts

So often we are taught scripts and what to say once we’ve made our “hot prospect” list for our Network Marketing business.

Ask these questions, say this, and then say this.

Today's Monday Motivation Minute:

The challenge here is that it is not authentic; it’s too scripted and all too often leads to resistance with your potential ideal client or team partner because subconsciously, they sense that this conversation is not authentic and is forced.

If you’d like a simple formula to open a conversation where you can engage in authentic listening, start with asking a question such as - Tell me about you…

And then listen with no agenda. Don’t be prepared to pounce when they give you the slightest segue into a conversation about your program.

Authentic listening is one of the greatest gifts you can give another because it so seldom happens.

When you listen...

Network Marketing Would Be Great Without the People

Network Marketing is a fabulous business model. The challenge can be other people regarding our business. The same can be true in life. Let’s talk about how to solve this problem. But wait - what IS the problem, really?

Often, we quickly dive from being uber excited about the potential in our business to thinking something is wrong and we are the only one struggling.

Does this define you?

Do you ever feel challenged in your business - have those things that come up that you just don’t feel you can solve?

Often, these come down to things like -

I’m worried everyone will say no to my network marketing business.

No one wants to listen to me.

I’m afraid I won’t know the answers to questions about my network marketing business.

Insert your favorite challenge. These are those things we make up.

It’s often about people, right? Other people, in...

You Can't Out Earn Your Worthiness Around Money

We all have a money blueprint and it’s mostly inherited from how we grew up. We aren’t taught entrepreneurship or much of anything when it comes to money. It controls everything about money in your life.

We are taught to go to college, get a degree, get a job and then do your best.

Money is hard to talk about; and yet when you own the story from the past, you can write the story for your future, intentionally.  Some of our beliefs about money stem from religious programming.

Words to be aware of -

Money - what thought comes up? Feelings? Where do you feel it in your body?

Thoughts are the language of the brain; feelings are the language of the body.

What thoughts and feelings do you have around:

Rich People

Poor people

Money is hard

Money is the root of all evil

There is not enough money

Deserving money

Worthy of money

Money doesn’t...

If One Can Be Successful, Do All Have Equal Opportunity?

A millennial walks into a bar...

Recently, while my husband and I were having a casual drink and conversation about the 26.7% increase in 20-30 year olds visiting mental health facilities with a fear of doing self inflicted harm, I was interrupted by a millennial who wanted to talk about it.

We discussed the disillusionment of his generation, the hopelessness, and the feeling that they did what they were told to do; went to college, racked up $100k in college debt and now have nowhere to turn for jobs; the housing market is prohibitive and they feel they have been shut out of upwardly mobile possibility.

We also talk about capitalism, mentors, and the danger in resigning oneself that THIS is their lot in life.

I believe if any one person can do it, we all have the possibility of doing it. From Oprah Winfrey, to Sara Blakely (Spanx) to JK Rowling and Mike Johnston (former Simon Says Drummer, turned YouTube...

When you launch a network marketing business, you bring 3 of yourself into the business - the past you; the current you; and the future you.

The bad news is, your past you is running the show, now and into the future if you aren’t careful. Here’s how to shift your thoughts and actions and show up as who you need to be to get where you want to go.

Here’s what’s up with you, you’ve launched your network marketing business, and you’re so excited. You can’t wait to drive the big fancy car, live in the big exciting home.

The problem is, now that you’ve launched the business,...

Only one thing stands between you and success

And, by success, I mean success in any area of your life.

That one thing is -

RESISTANCE

The Formula for Success is simple - just double your rate of failure. Thomas Watson.

Pay CLOSE attention to what you resist. It’s the path to growth and success.

Discipline equals freedom.

It’s part of the human experience to run into challenges, obstacles and procrastination.
