This is From Tracy Biller.... When I read this I knew I wanted other MLM people to have access to these great words of wisdom too...

A couple of days ago when I announced the "New York
Special" - a recruiting database with which you can
get 75,000 leads for just $98 - I wrote specifically
that my friend the heavy hitter from whom I acquired
the recruiting database is "done recruiting."

In fact the exact words I wrote are as follows:

"And then my good friend [the heavy hitter]
told my wife and I that he's done recruiting."

------------------------- ----

Several people misinterpreted what I wrote and thought
I was implying that my friend the heavy hitter is
quitting network marketing for good.

One of them sent me an email asking this question:

"Why would a heavy hitter quit network marketing
and give up receiving his check?"

That's a good question. The answer is that my friend
the heavy hitter is not quitting the industry.

Like so many top earners before him - me included -
he's simply made the decision to stop recruiting. He
will still remain active with his company and he'll
continue to receive his commission check.

And if in the future his network marketing shuts down
(which at this time is highly unlikely), my friend the
heavy hitter has decided that because he has enough
money in the bank and because he has enough
investments (including nearly a dozen rental
properties), he doesn't need to "pound the phone" for
one to two years to build another downline.

I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's a nice
position to be in, because the bottom line is that
building a downline is not fun work.

========================= =

Yes . . . you read right!

And I'll say it again:

Building a downline is not fun work.

Just about every time I speak before an audience of
network marketers, I'll ask them the following "trick"
question:

"Ladies and gentlemen. Raise you hand if you enjoy
building a large downline. And if you haven't built
one yet, then raise your hand if you believe you will
enjoy building a large downline."

Of course, everyone in the audience raises his or her
hand.

And then I say to the audience:

"You are all either ignorant fools, liars, or
masochists!"

Of course, the audience laughs!

I then go on to explain to the audience that building
a large downline is not fun work.

What's fun is the end result, that being the money you
make month after month, year after year.

I then make it a point to tell the audience that I
NEVER got into network marketing with the intent to
recruit and build a downline for the rest of my life.

The fact is, that what "turned me on" to network
marketing was the idea that I could work hard for a
couple of years, and then collect a big residual check
as a result of my efforts.

I always knew that the work wouldn't be pleasant, but
that the reward would be well worth it.

It always is.

========================= ===
DAVE THE BODYBUILDER
========================= ===
Recently a long-time friend of mine named "Dave"
decided to get into network marketing.

During one of our phone conversations I asked Dave,
"Prior to a body-building competition, how many months
of intense training did you put in?"

Dave answered, "About six to eight months."

I asked, "Be honest with me, Dave. Did you enjoy those
six to eight months of training, or did you enjoy the
end result?"

Dave answered, "I hated the training. It was mentally
and physically difficult. It was not fun. The bottom
line is that it hurt and many times I came close to
quitting. But I kept focused on the results, that
being the conditioning and sculpting of my body for
the next contest. The end result was always worth it."

========================= =========
MARK THE REAL ESTATE BROKER
========================= =========
I golf regularly with a friend named "Mark" who is one
of the Nashville area's top real estate brokers. His
office has over fifty agents working out of it. Mark
has made a ton of money in real estate, and he is very
well known and respected in our community.

During a round of golf I asked Mark, "Prior to
becoming a broker and having one of the biggest
offices in middle Tennessee, how many years of chasing
leads, prospective buyers, and listings did you put
in?"

Mark answered, "Before I became a broker and opened my
own office, I worked as a mere agent for six years
during which time I worked 6-7 days a week, 12-16
hours a day."

I asked, "Be honest with me, Mark. Did you enjoy those
six years of 'paying the dues', or do you now enjoy
the results, that being that you're making truly big
bucks?"

Mark answered, "Looking back I can say with all
honesty that I did not enjoy those six years. During
that time I had no life. I lived to work, and not the
other way around. But I knew that I had to do it if I
was going to get rich in real estate. I knew I had to
do it if I was going to become a broker and open my
own office. Of course, the results have been
phenomenal to say the least."

========================= =========
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TARGET
========================= =========
Building a large downline is simple work, but it is
not fun work.

It's like digging a ditch. It's simple work and
virtually anyone can do it. You just pick up the
shovel, stick it in the ground, lift out a chunk of
dirt, and throw it off to the side.

Simple work. But not fun work.

And that's the primary reason why so many heavy
hitters pull back from the day-to-day grind of
recruiting. They've paid their dues and have put in
the hard work and as a result are making the big bucks.

I have yet to have met a heavy hitter who said that
they actually enjoyed the process of building a big
downline. And if one ever told me he did, I'd give him
a handshake and say, "You are a rare breed!"

========================= ============
PHILOSOPHICAL WORDS OF WISDOM
========================= ============
My mentor taught me this important philosophy:

"Way too many people waste way too much time
procrastinating, thinking about the business,
gossiping, strategizing, analyzing, etc., instead of
just getting a list and making the calls.

"You'll find that in this business there is no
competition at the top because the majority of people
are their own worst enemy.

"Just get a list and start making the calls. It really
is that simple.

"If you apply the right strategies correctly on a
daily consistent basis, you should start to earn good
money in just a handful of months. Continue the
process for two years to stabilize your downline and
sales volume. Believe me when I tell you that the
process of building your downline during those two
years will not be enjoyable.

"The work you do to build your large downline will be
simple and easy work, and virtually anyone can do it
that chooses to. But it is not fun work.

"I'll say it again . . . building a large downline is
not fun work.

"What is fun is the result of your work, which is the
huge monthly income you'll get paid as a result of
your efforts. It is critical that during the two years
of building you must keep your eye on the target,
which is the huge amount of money you're going to make.

"Don't think about the actual work you are doing on a
day-to-day basis. In fact, you should do the work with
total emotional detachment. Just keep your eye on the
target, the big money.

"The target - the big money - is everything, because
that's what you're working to achieve."

Sincerely,
Tracy Biller

Dan Henderson's thoughts on the Shaklee business...

I woke up in the middle of the night with this thought running through my head ... it's hard to make more passive income per hour than through the network marketing business model.

When a person that you have sponsored (which takes a few hours and some follow-up) goes on to generate thousands, even millions of dollars in volume that you get a piece of ... well, it's hard to beat that doing brain surgery.
 
Our organization generates $1.4 million per month in volume and that's just four levels deep.  It would be well over $2 million a month if we could see it all. Almost all of that volume was generated by the organizations of Gary & Faye Burke, Ross & Mary Margaret Earley, Rocky & Molly Pratt, Adriane & Lou Anne Optiz and Connie & Jerry Sheer.  

Amazing!

John Lennon once said, 'I can sit down and write us a swimming pool."  He meant, because they had a ready audience eager to consume any new Beatles record, anytime they felt like buying something, they just had to write a song.
 
As amazing as it sounds, all of us in Shaklee have that opportunity. In fact, the opportunity is greater right now than it has been in 25 years.

This is not just an idea ... It's a sound principal that has been proven now for almost 50 years. Just think about the power of this model.  Roger Barnett did and decided this would be his life's work.

Once you have the understanding and the simple skill sets you need to find and present to someone who is willing to hear your offer ... you can wake up every morning with an opportunity to turn the spigot.
 
You CAN literally create income at will ... the owner of a factory or restaurant or pet shop or even a doctor without this model has no such ability.

Don't you think it's worth a serious investment of time, effort and energy to master the skill sets you need to make this happen?

Income at will gives you confidence, power, security and peace of mind. It gives you opportunity to open doors not open to mere mortals.

All the best, Dan

No matter what you sell, dealing with rejection is part of
the job. Some people are better at it than others. For
those of us who work on the Net, rejection wears soft shoes
(if your ad doesn't work you don't get hits to your
site...a lot easier than having an angry prospect close the
door on your foot.)

I know a guy who relishes the thought of selling ads door
to door. "Rejection" isn't in his vocabulary.

Here are some steps for handling rejection:

* Listen attentively to the prospect's objection. Keep in
mind that they are giving you valuable information. They
are telling you why they don't want to buy. This points out
ways you can give the prospect more information. More often
than not, an objection is really just a request for more
information.

* Repeat the objection back to the prospect. Say, "Now, if
I understand you correctly, you feel that the product may
not work as well as we claim." Here's a great chance for
you to whip out more points like statistical data or
testimonials from satisfied customers.

* Once you have answered the prospect's objection, change
the subject slightly. This is the stock-in-trade of
politicians (who, after all, are in the business of
selling, too). It allows you to get the prospect onto a
more important subject, one that will lead to a sale.
