Most network marketers have fallen into "the chasing trap" in their network marketing business. What exactly is "the chasing trap"? It is when you want more for your prospects than they want for themselves. It is when you keep thinking or saying to yourself, "If I could only make them understand what I have to offer, then they will own their life". You chase them around trying to convince them that your opportunity and/or products are the "greatest thing since sliced bread".
Getting caught up in "the chasing trap" only leads to frustration and weariness. It will never help you achieve your goals. If you are in this trap you are not alone for most network marketers have experienced this. We all have wondered why they just don't get it or how can we make them understand. Most of us have spent hours emailing, calling and chasing them down to no avail.
To escape "the chasing trap" your first commitment MUST be to your people, NOT to your personal profit. Look at network marketing as a relationship game, not a sales business. Get to know your prospect and what they want. When you put other people's desires before your personal gain then trust and loyalty develop. Ask yourself "WHY" should your prospects choose you over all the other home business options. Your job is to make an impression that they will never forget that puts you head and shoulders above your competition.
Spend your time with those who want your help: the ones who raise their hand. Stop chasing those who really don't want to help themselves and you will soon have a team of self-sufficient, highly motivated, successful people in your network marketing business.
The first step to escape "the chasing trap" is to read this free e-book Success in 10 Steps. It will give you tips and strategies that will elevate you above your competition.

Network Marketers: Do You Know What Your Prospect Wants?
Do you know what your prospect wants or are you like some network marketers…only interested in getting what you want?
The only thing that matters is what your prospect thinks, wants, wishes for, desires and needs. It is all about your prospect, not you. So start your relationship by listening, then you will know how to help them get what they want.
Your prospect wants a simple, proven, non-threatening marketing system that works: a system that generates high quality leads: provides a follow-up plan, and a first-rate sponsoring and training program. They want to know that there is a team of people who really cares and believes in them.
Your prospect expects you to be able to answer their questions or to guide them to the right source (hotlines, web pages, brochures, etc.) to answer any questions that you can't answer. It's not as important to know all the answers, as it is to know where to get the answers…this is where your team comes in.
Your key weapon in the battlefield of network marketing is your team. Most people want to belong to a team that manifests unselfishness in its purest form: genuine consideration for others.
"It's amazing how much can be accomplished
when no one cares who gets the credit."
——John Wooden
Would you like to have a simple proven system that generates quality leads and provides a follow-up plan and a first-rate sponsoring and training program? Would you like to belong to a team with a spirit of genuine consideration for others?

The Secret Income of Multi-Millionaires
There are two types of income in the world, but only one will give you the freedom to "own your life". The first type of income is linear income, trading your time for money. Most people work for a living. If they don't work they don't get paid. The school bus driver gets paid when he drives a bus. When his shift ends, he stops getting paid. A surgeon gets paid when she performs surgery, but when she goes home she doesn't get paid.
Now this just may open your eyes…even though the surgeon gets paid a lot more money than the bus driver, they are both in the same boat. They both are trading their time for money. They receive income when they work…that's linear income. When they stop working their income stops.
The second type of income is the secret income of multi-millionaires. It's a lot different than linear income. It's called "royalty income". It's also known as passive, recurring or residual income. "Royalty income" is the secret to creating true wealth.
Royalty income usually refers to regular payments you may receive if you have published a book or any creative work that remains in distribution. For example, Elvis Presley wrote numerous hit songs, and now his daughter Lisa Marie collects a "royalty check" from the record company when his songs are played on the radio or downloaded from iTunes. She doesn't have to write any hit songs because her father did the work right one time. That's "royalty income".
Now imagine if you had a million dollars in your savings account and you knew exactly how to invest your money without losing it all. You did the work right one time and today you'd collect a dividend check of $5,000 every month. Even after you quit your job you would still make money. That's "royalty income".
I don't know about you, but this gets me really excited. This is exactly the type of income that I want in my life. I could do what I want, when I want, and with whom I want. I could give more time and money to charities of my choice.
Now you may be thinking that you're not a writer or singer…you have no special talents like Elvis. Well there is good news for people like you and me with little talent. Yes, there is hope! There is another way to develop royalty income. It's called network marketing. You can learn step-by-step how to create "royalty income" from a few hundred dollars a month to well over $10,000 per month by downloading Michael Dlouhy's free e-book Success in 10 Steps.
Now you know the secret income of multi-millionaires and the good new is you can be one of them.

How Can You Create Team Staying Power?
Would it be okay if your network marketing team had "staying power"…the ability to keep working the business over a long period of time? What is it that keeps people going? My friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy says, "It's not goals. It's not money either. It's your WHY that will keep you going."
"My WHY"…my purpose is to sow seeds of love, patience, encouragement, faith, hope, trust and prosperity. I am here to love, encourage, and inspire others to live with passion: to give my time, money and knowledge to help others find their God given purpose so they can live their life with enthusiasm; to be an effective leader and help others become all they were created to be…fruitful, successful, profitable, rewarding, and rich!
My why is to be the best sister, friend, leader and mentor that I can possibly be: to love, serve, and spend quality time with my family, friends, and clients. I persistently seek truth, wisdom, counsel and knowledge so I can give sound instruction to others. My why is to make a positive impact on as many peoples lives as I can while I'm here on this earth.
Crafting Your Why
There are two types of people: those who know their purpose and live with passion, and those who don't know their purpose (their why) and continue to live in mediocrity.
What’s your Why? Everyone needs motivation to get up in the morning, and it has to be very strong. What motivates you? What makes you so happy that you get goose-bumps?
If you can’t close your eyes and clearly see your Why, then now is the time to get clarity.
Begin crafting your why by reflecting on the three major areas of your life…
Personal: What are your values, what is important to you, what do you cherish about your life, how do you want to be remembered?
Relationships: What type of friend, son, daughter, wife, husband, brother, sister, mother, father, aunt, uncle are you?
Freedom: What degree of freedom do you want and what will you do with your freedom?
To create your team "staying power" download Michael Dlouhy's free e-book Success in 10 Steps. Most people who download and read this e-book find out their lack of success in building a strong team with "staying power" is not their fault, but some just never take the time to read it and continue to struggle in building a successful business. When you read this e-book you will become a part of a mastermind group that will help you create team "staying power".

Pentacle Leadership – What Is It?
"If you're attempting to build a home business, you need solid Pentacle Leadership for success. Find a Mentor. You must have a mentor to be a mentor. You want a mastermind group of like-minded people who want YOU to succeed. You want up-line support available when you need it.
Pentacle Leadership means Michael mentoring Don, Don mentoring Irma, Irma mentoring Lidie, Lidie mentoring Diane and the people Diane will mentor is endless. THIS type of leadership creates your mastermind group.
Want to make a Million Dollars?
Mastermind with Millionaires!
If you want to make $30,000 a year, then mastermind with people who make $30,000 a year.
Consider this VERY carefully: For most people, their yearly income is the average of their 5 closest friends.
Do YOUR 5 closest friends have what you want? If not, why would you EVER listen to their opinions on business?
Say you want to invest in real estate. Would you ask the person who rents a home? Or the person with 27 homes, 16 townhouses, 2 farms, one in Oklahoma, one in Texas, and 27 commercial properties?
To build a business, why on earth would you listen to people who've never done it? You've got to evaluate who you take advice from.
Want success? Then you'd better get your action plan from successful people?"
This was taken directly from Success in 10 Steps - chapter one, by Michael Dlouhy.
Now you might be thinking "How do I develop this line of Pentacle Leadership?" Your first step is to download Success in 10 Steps e-book and plug into our Mentoring for Free mastermind group. Most people who read this e-book get excited because they found a mentor and mastermind group of like-minded people who want them to succeed. But some just never take the time to read it and continue to struggle because they listen to the opinion of those who have never built a successful network marketing business.

Are You True to Yourself?
To be a leader you need followers, and to have followers you must have their confidence. Thus the highest quality for a leader is undeniably integrity. Integrity builds trust.
Leaders must live by a higher standard than their followers. They must take responsibility...accept the position of being accountable to their followers. Respectable leaders make choices that are best for others when another choice would benefit them. They are quick to recognize others for their efforts and contributions to the success of the team or organization. The measure of a leader's real character is what he would do if he would never be found out.
If you are sincere it's visible in everything you do. Likewise, if you are insincere, people will eventually see it. You can't cover it up. John C Maxwell said, "No one can fool all of the people all of the time. Each of us, eventually, is recognized for exactly what we are – not what we appear to be."
Ann Landers said, "People of integrity expect to be believed. They also know time will prove them right and are willing to wait." Integrity is the result of self-discipline, respectability, and the decision to act honesty in all situations.
To keep your integrity intact, use the following poem ("Am I True to Myself?" by Edgar Guest) as a "mirror test" to evaluate how you are doing.
Are you true to yourself?
Are you true to your mentor?
Are you true to your followers?

"I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know,
I want to be able, as days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand, with the setting sun,
And I hate myself for things I have done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself, as I come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of man I really am;
I don't want to dress up myself in sham.
I want to go out with my head erect,
I want to deserve all men's respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I can never hide myself from me;
I see what others may never see;
I know what others may never know,
I never can fool myself, and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free."

In the World of Network Marketing
A team is invaluable to the development of your strengths and skills to be successful in the world of network marketing. As professional network marketers and leaders, our primary responsibility is to help our team members discover and develop their particular talents. This means that we often must see and believe in others exceptional ability before they can believe in themselves. It is our responsibility to hold the image of excellence up to our teammates until they can see it for themselves.
In my network-marketing world I am a member of a team of people who understand that success is much more than prestige and financial wealth…people who want to make a difference in the world…to make a contribution that extends beyond themselves. It is not about each one individually, but the team as a whole and the power of a “master-mind” group. Each team member is able to create financial advantages when all are willing to lend their sincere support to the whole team in the spirit of harmony and cooperation.
What does your network-marketing world look like? Are you able to call anyone on your team for help, no matter up-line, down-line, or side-line? Does everyone on your team freely offer you advice and assistance to develop your abilities so you can be the leader you were created to be?
Now I ask you, would you like to be a part of a master mind team where each team member is willing to help you in whatever area you need help in, no matter what company you are with? If your answer is yes then all you have to do is download our free e-book Success in 10 Steps and of course read it. Most people who download and read this e-book find themselves swept on to success, but some just never take the time to read it and continue in the whirlwind of frustration.
Success in 10 Steps e-book is the key to understanding how you can put yourself in the best position for success in your network marketing business. It is the first step to belonging to a master-mind group whose only agenda is to help you become the leader you were created to be. And you don't even have to pay a dime to belong!
