The Paradox That Keeps People Stuck
May 19th
One of the most fascinating things I’ve experienced in my career in marketing is that people will often try to “solve their problem with problems”.
Sounds like a paradox and it is. Here’s what I mean:
I’m in a business where I’m contacted daily by people who legitimately want to create more freedom and money in their lives. They want to quit their job, work from home and create a new lifestyle for themselves.
And yet, when given the opportunity to have exactly what they say they want, many will reply, “I’d really love to do this and I know it would work for me. But I just don’t have the money.”
Or someone who works 60+ hours a week and wants more time with their family….and when they look at a business that can set them free from the workforce forever….many will say, “I’d love to do this but I don’t have the time.”
They’re trying to solve problems with problems.
It’s a paradox. It doesn’t work.
The reason why they say they CANNOT do something is usually the reason why they MUST do something.
Until they figure that out, we can probably call those people in six months and they’ll still be struggling financially. Or working 10 hour days and missing their kids’ ball games.
These aren’t unintelligent people. Not usually. They’re not stupid. But, they’ve fallen into the trap of mediocrity: they choose to believe that life is happening “to” them and they’ve forgotten that they are actually creating their lives with their thoughts and decisions.
Nothing changes until the person changes. And no problem can be solved with the same quality of thinking that created it.
How about you? What decision or action are you putting off today because you think that you have something holding you back?
What can you do today to remove that obstacle for good and get on with your life?
What Does A Trillion Dollars Look Like?
Apr 9th
All this talk about “stimulus packages” and “bailouts”… A billion dollars… A hundred billion dollars…Eight hundred billion dollars…One TRILLION dollars…
These numbers are so big, they’re meaningless. One way to put it into perspective is to actually SEE the amount of money we’re talking about. Let’s take it slow.
We’ll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them; slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.
Now, a PACKET of one hundred of these $100 bills is only about a 1/2″ thick. But it’s $10,000. You can squeeze into a pants pocket and it’s enough to have a shamefully good time for about a week. Here’s $10,000:
Believe it or not, this next little pile is a whopping $1,000,000. Doesn’t look like much, does it? Well, a million dollars is actually just 100 packets like the one above. You could fit it into a grocery bag and walk around with it.
Now, if you thought the million dollars looked unimpressive….$100 Million dollars is a little more respectable. It will fit neatly on a standard pallet:
Now…a BILLION dollars is quite a lot of money. It’s basically 1,000 Million. So, if you had ten of those pallets, you’d have one billion dollars:
Now, let’s look at a TRILLION dollars. That’s a number we’ve been hearing a lot about lately.
What is a trillion dollars? It’s basically one million million. It’s 1,000 billion. It’s a one followed by twelve zeros. You ready for this? It’s pretty surprising. Check it out, ladies and gentlemen: I give you $1 Trillion:
Did you notice that the pallets in that picture are DOUBLE-stacked? And how tiny the man looks over on the left? Next time you hear someone throwing around the word “trillion” like it’s pocket change, think about this picture. Especially if it’s the government talking about how much money they want to spend.
Before you pass this along to your friends, let me offer you a personal thought… Do you remember that picture of the $1,000,000? The 100 packets of $10,000 that you could fit inside a grocery bag?
You can earn that within the next TWO years. Seriously. And it’s not nearly as difficult as what you would imagine.
Heck, here’s a really BAD example that would still work: did you know that if you had a single product that paid you $1,000 that you would only need 1,000 customers to earn that million dollars? Only one-thousand customers! That’s nothing! Think about how many millions of people are buying and selling stuff online every day. A great many of them are spending thousands of dollars.
In fact, I have a friend named Frank who recently sold over 2,000 copies of a little product he put together…..and he sold them for $2,000 each. He didn’t get to keep all the money but he kept over half of it! And he did it in less than a week. That’s a $2,000,000 income.
And to be honest, that’s not even the simplest way to earn a seven-figure income. It would be far easier to sell FEWER products and then offer those satisfied customers the opportunity to buy more products. Or more expensive products. You could make the same money with a fraction of the work!
In fact, here’s a formula for creating a 7-figure income in 2 years:
1. Plug into a market-tested system that is already creating millionaires. There’s no need to re-invent the wheel….it’s far smarter to just do what’s already proven to work. This is the SINGLE concept that I used to earn $15,000 in my first month in a home business…and reached $40,000 per month in my first year. If I can do it anyone can. You just need to have a system that has already proven to create millionaires.
2. You have to be committed or you might as well not even get started. If you’re the kind of person who jumps from deal to deal and business to business every few weeks…STOP IT. You’ll never get rich jumping around. The biggest part of becoming wealthy is adopting a success mindset. We have products and masterminding that will assist you in installing this mindset in record time.
3. You will become like the people you spend your time with. Our mastermind team is chock-full of people just like me who didn’t graduate from college….don’t have a marketing degree….but who have earned over $1,000,000 by working from home with no employees, no product inventory and no hassles.
4. And, finally, you have to be marketing a product that offers HUGE value in the marketplace…and that will pay you what you deserve when someone chooses to buy it. Forget nickel-and-dime commissions. Forget earning 6% on someone’s long-distance bill. Or $10 on selling someone a nutritional product. The REAL key to success in this industry is to market something that has such value for the prospect that they will want to own it the moment they find out about it. They can go from complete IGNORANCE of the product to wanting to own it in less than 30 minutes of knowing about it. Something that people WANT but that is totally different from what everyone else is selling.
When you’ve got a product like that, people will line up and BEG to buy it from you. And you can pocket some huge profits while changing someone’s life in the process.

Ten Quick Tips for Network Marketers
Apr 8th
1. The purpose of an autoresponder message is to get them to click a link. Not to get them to read a letter.
2. The purpose of your primary website is to sort the suspects from the prospects and invite the prospects to fill out a form requesting information. It is not to explain your business to them, or tell them about the wonders of the product.
3. When calling a prospect for the first time, the purpose of the conversation is to find out if they are someone you want to work with and — if so — to give them the next step. The phone call is not for giving them a presentation. Nor to explain your business.
4. Leverage is not just about pay plans….it’s about time management. Never do a presentation for one person when you can just easily do it for 6 people. One-on-one presentations are probably the biggest waste of time in the industry. (Note: I didn’t say they didn’t work….I said they were a waste of time.)
5. Even better, put all your prospects on a conference call hosted by someone else and you can let someone else work your business for you while you’re enjoying your life. If I had to choose only one tool for my business, it would be a powerful conference call.
6. There’s never any reason for a business presentation call to last more than 30 minutes. And, if the call doesn’t include live testimonials and a Q&A session for prospects, there’s no need for it to be longer than 20 minutes. If it takes longer than that, your presentation is too complicated or you just like to hear yourself talk.
7. There’s no need for an associate training call to last more than 45 minutes and that includes live Q&A. If your company is having multiple hour-long training calls every week, they need to simplify their system.
8. If you’re not going to collect a decision after the presentation, there was no point in going through the whole process. After they get any questions answered, ask them something simple like, “What do you want to do from here?” or “Do you see a future for yourself with this company?” There’s no heavy psychology. It’s just authentic communication.
9. Trying to convince prospects to join or buy is for amateurs. Don’t do it. Ever.
10. Spend time with people who are getting the results you want. Don’t waste your time “talking shop” with people who
aren’t successful. Attitudes (and mindsets) are contagious. Catch something worth having.
To your success!
