I must admit to feeling very concerned about the risks that so many people are taking in regards to their financial survival, not to mention wellbeing.

Most Western countries are only just beginning to experience the effects of many years of fraudulent abuse of their economies by the greedy super-rich and politicians. It now means that the majority of people in each of these countries face a bleak future!

Unless urgent action is taken to protect ourselves and those we love, many people could be destitue in the not too distant future.

So, what I am urging everyone who doesn’t have one in place, is to immediately put into action a “Plan B” strategy.

By that I mean, we can no longer rely solely upon the traditional careers or small-busineses that have promised lifelong security. A means with which to have a comfortable lifestyle and worry-free retirement.

Now, everyone needs to have an additional way of creating a secondary income stream, so that should your current employment ever be jeopardised, you have that other scource of income to support you.

And, for the vast majority of people, Network Marketing can be that alternative. This industry generally requires very little capital, can be a part-time, home-based business. And reputable companies provide excellent support, training and resources.

If you don’t have a “Plan B” in place yet, I urge you to do so and make sure the economic chaos that is now beginning to take place will not only pass you by, but you’ll also have the opportunity to have a share in the transfer of wealth that always occurs in what are labelled ‘tough times’.

Thanks for your time.

Well, times they certainly are a-changin’, not least of all in the impact that Social Media is having upon Network Marketing.

In just a few short years, Social Media has become a buzz-word not just in Network Marketing, but also in the majority of industries.

Just using one example of the massive growth of Social Media, Facebook has now apparently grown to over 750 million members world-wide. The numbers of people who use this form of communication at any minute of the day runs into the millions.

So, as far as the Network Marketing industry is concerned, SM is having a dramatic effect. It’s really become a vital method with which to make contact and build relationships with prospects for our industry. We are all using SM to build our businesses with, to varying degrees.

And this is an enjoyable way to go, but there are unwritten rules we must observe, particularly taking-care to make sure we are not pushy and seen to be blatantly using our SM contacts purely for our own benefit.

Just like in all business-building efforts, we need to have respect for others, and always be certain to place emphasis on helping people,and not using them.

So, the combination of Social Media and Network Marketing is here to stay, and will likely continue to grow stronger.

Thanks for your time,

Yesterday I was again priveleged to attend another of Ed Ludbrook’s webinars on learning to be a successul Network Marketing coach.

Well, during that webinar he explained a theory that really made sense to me, and in a way contradicts a lot of the instructions that are abundant in personal development training.

There is a lot of emphasis placed on us coaches to encourage, including new people we sponsor, to set their goals, dream big, and make these goals their primary motivating force.

Well, that’s always made a lot of sense to me, and it’s the way I’ve approached things with my vision boards, affirmations, etc.

But Ed pointed-out that for many folks, especially people starting a new home-based business, that initially setting the ‘big’ goals isn’t the smart way to become self-motivated. Many people, probably the majority who decide to work from home, just don’t believe they deserve, or are capable of having, that dream home, luxury car; or see themselves capable of earning ten thousand bucks a month!

So with lots of people new to Network Marketing, setting their goals in that format may well de-motivate them, and they quickly lose heart and give-up.

What makes a lot of sense to me now, is that most people, initially at least, want to get-away from many unpleasant and distressing things in their lives. They want to get away from crushing debts, leave their inadequate home in a crappy neighbourood, get their kids out of a scary school environment, etc.

So, when it’s a choice of ‘gain motivation’ or ‘pain motivation’, it’s the ‘pain’ one that the majority of people use to self-motivate themselves with. And, as professional Network Marketing coaches, we need to be aware of this.

Then, as people begin to  build a little success in their business, they start to feel more confident in their ability to actually achieve some of the lifestyle that would love to live, setting the ‘gain’ goals becomes the method they can use to become self-motivated.

In future I will be more concious of encouraging my team-members to consider which type of self-motivation will be most effective in helping them build a successful home based Network Marketing business and develop a significant passive income.

Thank you, friends, for reading my latest article.
