Time Leverage in Network Marketing

This is the ability to get paid month after month on the work that you do one time.

A good analogy that you are already familiar with is the franchising industry. In franchising, the franchisee, or one who purchases the rights to do business using a well-known business name such as McDonald’s, pays a royalty fee every month to the franchiser, or parent company. It’s always a percentage of the profits earned.

The parent company, or McDonald’s, has incredible time leverage. The more McDonald’s stores they have around the world, the more money they make.

But, the parent company certainly doesn’t do all of the work. If they have 5,000 stores, each open 18 hours a day, 90,000 hours are worked daily on their behalf.

The concept works in much the same way with our business system, except you don’t have to pay a royalty fee each month! Imagine building a “franchise” system of hundreds and thousands of Team Partners Sending Out Cards and Gifts to friends and potential prospects.

What might that mean to you over time?

Here is an example – let’s say you start your own Greeting Card and Gift business and begin by investing five hours per week into your business. You introduce your card business system to Mike and begin working with him. He also puts five hours a week into his card and gift business. You now have 10 hours per week working on your behalf, although you are only putting in five hours yourself.

If you and Mike each bring in a new partner, who each commit to five hours, you will soon be benefiting from 20 hours per week. Remember, your actual time involvement is only five hours each week.

By the end of the first month, you have forty hours each week working on your behalf. At the end of the second month, over 640 hours will be invested into your business each week, but not all by you. You are only putting in five.

Do you see the beauty of time leverage?

In network marketing, we are paid for opening “outlets” and teaching those “outlets” to be successful. Who can you send out a card to now and introduce this amazing system?

And, remember, franchising was thought to be a scam in the ’70s, when it first began.

Are You Making New Year’s Resolutions?

New Year’s Resolutions

It’s a funny time of year. Soon, the gyms and weight loss clinics across the glove will be filled with people who all did one thing – they made a resolution for the New Year to slim down; take some weight off; get healthy.

Sadly, less than 10% will succeed with this new goal and plan.

Most have not written down this goal and that makes a big difference between setting the goal and achieving the goal.

How are you coming in your goal to be financially free? Do you have your goals written down? Have you started your business yet? I don’t just mean have you signed up. That isn’t really starting. I mean are you in action; sending a card a day and a gift a week?

Are you following up? Are you asking people to send out a card through their system so they can experience the power in the system?

Maybe you haven’t even signed up yet. What are you waiting for?

The economy to get better? You control your own economy.

The stars to align just right? You align your own stars.

Your belief to improve? Is that it? Do you struggle with belief over whether you can succeed in your own home based business?

Let me ask you a question – if I can do it (and I have and I am!) why could you not? I promise you, if you will just get committed, you can have exactly what you want!

And, I would love to help you in that journey!

How would you like to have an Online Greeting Card Business? Would you like to be part of the next “Netflix?” The Netflix of the Greeting Card Business?

Why would you start a Business Sending Out Cards

Knowing WHY You Want to Start a Business

If you decided to start a business of Sending Out Cards with our team, do you know why? What would you be working for in your business? Do you have goals and dreams of what will be different in your life once you have “made it?” Do you have these concepts written out on paper?

Developing your “why” is a powerful step in insuring that you set yourself up for success in your network marketing business from the very beginning. Think about it – Network Marketing is a volunteer business. We choose on our own to get started and pursue a business. No one forces us to sign on the dotted line. For many, this can be a double edged sword.

This means there is no boss setting up a job description for you; no one making sure that you complete the tasks necessary to be successful; and no guaranteed paycheck! You are now your own boss and you are in charge of your own success and paycheck. You must be self-directed and disciplined. You must do it without being told to.

Here are some thoughts on creating a powerful why for your business –

Laying your foundation for success is important to keep you in the game and taking action steps daily. When you are very clear on what it is you are working toward, it makes this much easier and more fulfilling. After all, it’s about more than just money. What will the money provide for you?

I remember my first day in Network Marketing as if it were yesterday. It was filled with all kinds of different emotions – excitement, belief, desire, anticipation, fear, disbelief and anxiety. I felt all of these feelings and all at the same time.

Have you felt that way? Do you feel that way now? If so, you are quite normal, which means you have what it takes to be successful!

The secret of the first day is to write down those positive feelings right then. Put them in a notebook, along with your goals, dreams and the vision for your life. This helps shape your reasons for pursuing your business.

Those positive excited feelings are what you are going to fall back on each step throughout your career in Network Marketing. Still today, before I sit down to make phone calls or send an email to prospective business partners, I conjure up those excited feelings and bask in the feelings and emotions that they create. After a few minutes of doing this, I am inspired and motivated to make those calls and make them great!

I suggest you start a dream book. This will serve you well as you travel on your journey. I know CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies that have dream books. It’s a very powerful tool. Go to a nice bookstore, such as Barnes and Noble or Borders and buy a journal with blank pages. Lines aren’t necessary. Pick one that really fits you. Do you like fabric? Floral or stripes? Paisley or something else? Maybe leather is more your style.

Pick something that really fits you. After all, you are going to create your perfect life in this book, so it needs to be YOU!

Begin thinking about the things you want in your life. There are three areas to consider –

Things you want to have. (Your dream house, dream car, exotic trips, jewelry, etc.)

Things you want to do. (Start a foundation for disadvantaged children; speak onstage at your company convention or a generic Network Marketing event, be a Top 10 Income Earner in your company, etc.)

Who you want be. (This is a BIG one. Are you a teacher, motivator, inspirational, or altruistic? This involves words that are about you. Words that people use to describe you.)

Get some magazines and begin cutting out pictures and word descriptions of what you want to have, do and be. Now, begin pasting them into your journal pages, and feel free to write about them, too.

You would be amazed at how many of those pictures from my own dream book are now a part of my life. Some of them I cut out, pasted in the book and never really thought of again. And, then, they showed up in my life!

Read through the pages of this book twice a day, at least. Once in the morning, first thing, and once at night, just before you drift off to sleep. Run these “pictures” through your mind every day to get yourself inspired and create an anchor for your success.

Now, you have a very powerful reason established for pursuing your business. As you build it, this will compel you to continue moving forward when someone tells you “no” (and they will), someone says you are crazy, or tells you that you have joined a cult or pyramid! Let your dreams and passion keep you from ever quitting or losing your drive to keep going.

Surround yourself with people who support you in your dreams and those who also share your goals. Work daily on developing the right attitude for success, and keep your belief system strong. Believe in yourself, the profession of Network Marketing and the power of your dreams.

You’ll get out of your business exactly what you put into it. Make sure you have compelling dreams and goals and give your business the best you have each and every day, and it will reward you with the best offered!

MLM Business – What Is It?

By Jackie Ulmer 1 Comment

What is the Business System of a Greeting Card Business?

What is Network Marketing? What is MLM? What is Direct Sales?

Great question; and one that many have a hard time explaining.

Did you know that in just a few hours a week, you can create a major second income that continues to increase over time? In fact, with persistence and commitment, this income could soon replace your current full time income. It could even create a lifestyle of the rich and famous.

That is MLM; Direct Sales. Here is a thorough explanation:

What if it worked for you like it has worked for so many others, including me?

When was the last time you recommended a good book, restaurant or movie to a friend? How often do you do that? Probably pretty often, right?

But, when was the last time the publisher, restaurant or movie producer sent you a “royalty” check for the referral?

Probably, never.

Well, despite the way things usually are, the idea behind what is now the fastest growing home based business trend in America and around the world, Network Marketing, is that if you get paid for recommending things you like, use and believe in, you’ll do this more and more! And, you’ll probably find some others that want to do the same thing.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Here is a short, 20 minute movie that explains our business system quite well. Watch Brilliant Compensation!
