You know so many times I hear when people mention a home based business or a network marketing company they talk about duplication. You must follow a pre determined way of doing things so that anyone else can do the same thing as you.
Well if that is the case, why is it that 97% of all home based businesses fail?
Duplication is the exact reason why they fail. You see, most people join a home based business or network marketing company because they want to become rich. The person who introduced them to the business told them all they have to do is talk to their friends, coworkers and family so that they will see how great the network marketing company is and they will join you and do the same.
Well reality tells us that most people will get their dream stolen within the first 10 people they talk to. You see, when 97% of people are failing the odds are that if you follow the pack you will fail as well. But, have you ever considered the virtual gold mine you have in the form of a brain that is loaded with creative ways to think?
When I coach people in multilevel marketing I tell them they need to have a simple system that people can plug into. But I also tell them that they should think for themselves and use the God given gift of the imagination and brain to help them become successful in their home based business. The best ideas for building a huge network marketing company have not even been thought of yet.
Anyone can do it, we are going to do the work for you, I’ll pay your way into the program are all nice ideas, but can they be duplicated? If anyone can do it then why isn’t everyone doing it? If you are going to do all the work, what do I have to do? If you are going to pay my way in, then who is going to pay for those who join under me?
These questions should be asked when considering those type of hype tactics you see on so many web sites today. Don’t be fooled by the hype and use your head before you take out your credit card. Mine the gold mine between your ears before you dig into your pocket for your hard earned cash.
If you want to be a home business success you must understand that there is work involved. The work starts in your mindset first not with your credit card. Making a decision to work from home requires discipline. You have nobody checking to see if you came to work on time or even if you are doing your work at all.
In network marketing your sponsor is suppose to help you keep your dream alive. Just like with any worthy venture there will be peaks and valleys on the journey to success. Don’t expect your company or your sponsor to think for you. They shouldn’t be calling you to find out if you have been working, believe me they know if you have or not.
As an internet marketing coach and a successful network marketer, I have found that the people who want me to tell them exactly what to do are the ones who loose steam and never really get out of the gate.
There is a gold mine between your ears, start digging your way to a better life by bouncing ideas off of your sponsor. See what has worked for them and how they are building their business. Come up with some ideas of your own and see how your sponsor reacts. If they are good leaders then they will encourage you. If you don’t have a good sponsor or mentor to learn from, do all that you can to go upline to find one.
There are thousands of great people looking to share the knowledge they have learned from a lifetime of digging in their gold mine. Why not introduce yourself to them and start learning how to dig for yourself. Go to your local library to the self help section and introduce yourself to the great masters and let them introduce themselves to you.

What is it about the title of Champion that makes us all think how great that person must be or how smart they are? You can be a champion prize fighter or Chess player but you will never be a true champion without the right thinking. You must be determined.
Sometimes when I watch my dog chasing after a squirrel or bird I can see his face and the determination he has even though I know he may never catch it. When we look at a child who wants to get his or her way or a newborn taking the first steps determination makes them succeed and champions they become. In life and in any home based business you can be a champion if you have the right attitude of determination.
So, the challenge of working from home is to be determined not to live in mediocrity with low standards of that is good enough. Don’t make small plans, think big with dreams of color, light and wild visions of what you want your business to be. How you want it to grow.
When you speak about your home based business show your enthusiasm for life and your passion for you company and avoid the mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals. When you are a champion in business and on the inside you will no longer have the need to back down when faced with adversity or controversy. Your Mission to become successful will not be slowed down, backed up or still when you are determined to succeed.
Champions are always on the move and don’t care about popularity or how rough the journey may be. Home business champions can’t be detoured, compromised, lured away, turned around, flipped, deluded or delayed from reaching success. When you are a champion you never flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate your ethics, ponder at the pool of negativity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
A champion will never give up, shut up, let up and have stayed up, stored up and paid up for their success. Are you a Champion? Do you have what it takes to win? Oh saying that you do is easy but believing in it, well that is just something that most people don’t do. When you are a Champion in business you believe in yourself, you set high expectations for yourself and you surround yourself with winners. They say that birds of a feather flock together. Do you soar with eagles?
What kind of a bird are you? If you are in a home based business like network marketing and want to be a success you have to have the heart of an eagle. Are you willing to pay the price for success? There is no such thing as a free ride because everything has a price. Being a champion and a home based business success is costly.
When you are a champion you take responsibility for your actions and results. At the same time you demonstrate courage to endure and persist towards your worthy goal what ever it may be. Champions are confident and always think in terms of I can, I will and I am so you will never hear a successful home business champion saying what should be done or what they can’t do. For a champion there is only one definition of commitment.
There is no in-between for home business champions. They are in it for the long term. So I ask you this question. Are you a champion? Champions know there is a risk involved to winning and understand that you can’t steal second base if you never take your foot off of first. A champion will stand at the threshold of success and enter into the pinnacle of greatness and achievement when their determination far exceeds their doubt.

Call it what you will. Health and Wellness, Life Enhancing, Health Enhancing, Neutriceuticals, All-Natural, Herbal, Anti-Pharmaceutical have all been used. It is a billion dollar industry…
United States of America (Press Release) April 1, 2008 — Call it what you will. Health and Wellness, Life Enhancing, Health Enhancing, Neutriceuticals, All-Natural, Herbal, Anti-Pharmaceutical have all been used. It is a billion dollar industry that continues to enjoy phenomenal growth. As demand expands internationally, competition will stiffen. The companies that are fiscally healthy and based on solid principles will survive.
Two safe bets are Shaklee and ITV Ventures. If you are considering joining the “work at home revolution”, you can’t go wrong with either company. There are many similarities and drastically different marketing plans. Both have excellent products that are great for your health. Deciding which company is a fit for you will require a closer look.
Shaklee has been in business since 1956 and you have to respect that given the ‘hear one day – gone tomorrow” mantra of the web-based home business industry. The company was recently purchased by Roger Barnett who now serves as Chairman and CEO. Barnett is a solid leader and constant promoter of the company. He has recently appeared on “The Oprah Show” as she is a fan of Shaklee products; especially the Get Clean line which consists of Earth friendly, non-toxic household cleaners. Shaklee has always been known for environmentally safe products and Roger Barnett seems to be expanding on this and spreading the message globally. If you are into “Goin’ Green”, Shaklee is the home based business opportunity for you.
If you are serious about starting a Shaklee business, it’s best to get the Fast Start Kit for about $300. You will receive a small sampling of products called a Wellness Pack and a starter kit with CDs and brochures. As far as training, they do a weekly corporate call, but for the most part it is done through uplines. Some teams have developed web-based business building systems and you should use your due diligence in finding one that is a good fit for you. Otherwise, you will more than likely end up bugging family and friends to join you which is what many people resort to in the traditional network marketing business model.
Enter ITV Ventures.
ITV in and of itself is a direct response television company that creates infomercials
predominantly for health and wellness products. ITV Ventures is an extension of that into the home based business arena. Both were founded by Donald Barrett, who serves as President and is the host on most of the award winning infomercials. The company’s trademarked statement is “Positively Impacting People”. With ITV Ventures, Barrett is expanding his mission beyond personal health and wellness for his customers into financial health and wellness for entrepreneurs who joint venture with him in ITV Ventures.
What makes ITV Ventures so revolutionary is that as an Independent Business Owner (IBO) you have the option of joining the Home Agent Program where you can take calls directly from the infomercial to your home phone and make sales. This has never been done before
.
Most people join ITV Ventures at the Premier level which is $299 like Shaklee, however you get $400 worth of products. It’s a one time offer and a great value. ITV Ventures has Shaklee and many other companies beat in that area. You also get a leather briefcase, a Fast Start kit with CDs and DVDs, a copy of “The Magic of Thinking Big” by David J Schwartz, and a really cool looking ITV Ventures pen. Other companies’ starter kits come with more bubble wrap than product, but not so with ITV Ventures.
You also get a fully functional ecommerce site for the life of your membership. You can literally take orders or present the opportunity immediately upon joining. With Shaklee’s starter package, you get use of a Shaklee.net site for 2 or 3 months and then they charge you a monthly fee for continued use.
The three main ways you make money with ITV Ventures are Retailing, Referring, and Residual. Selling from your site, in person, or taking phone orders are considered retail.
ITV gives a generous 40% - 50% commission on retail sales.
Referring people to the business is optional. You do not have to recruit people to make money with ITV Ventures. Many people opt to simply make sales in their living room and not refer others. Many do both. There is a $100 commission when you introduce someone to ITV Ventures at the Premier level.
Residual income can be accomplished in two ways. Because ITV sells consumable health products, many people reorder. Your customers are tied to you for life and when they do reorder, you get commission. If you take a call from the infomercial, that is your customer for as long as you are active. Every time that customer orders, you get paid your 40% - 50% commission weekly. The other residual component is a 5% - 7% override on your group’s sales if you were to refer others to the business.
In order to take sales calls from the infomercials in the comfort of your own home, you have the option of joining the Home Agent Program(HAP). Most people get trained up first as an IBO and then do the HAP when they are ready. Some people do strictly Internet marketing. To join the HAP, there is a small monthly fee plus the purchase of call credits. It also requires a background check and testing. Most IBOs get acquainted with the system and the products first and only join the HAP when they are comfortable and ready for the next step.
If recruiting is not your strong point, ITV Ventures may be a better fit for you as you can take calls, make sales, build a customer base, and follow up and follow through for residual income based on retail sales.
If you are interested in the Home Agent Program, ITV Ventures has 30 minute infomercials for both popular products and the business opportunity itself so you can take calls for either or both. You can build a strong customer base taking product calls and build a team which is basically a virtual call center of IBOs talking “bizop” calls.

As I work from home and train others to become successful network marketing professionals I stress the importance of being bold with your prospects. It is important in network marketing that you don’t seem to present yourself as being someone who is reading from a pre-written script.
It is equally important to be bold when you talk to others who want to start a home based business.
When you work at home and are building a business in network marketing you must talk to people. There is no way to get around that so you need to be bold when you pick up the phone. You need to face your fears and overcome them. You want to build a home based business but you are not bold enough to pick up the phone and connect with others so that is why most people fail at network marketing.
Being bold means to get over your insecurity and transcend to a place where you can feel confident enough to talk to people interested in working from home without the baggage you have collected in your past network marketing failures. You need to overcome the fact that not everyone is cut out to work from home. It takes discipline, focus and more importantly it takes time to grow a successful network marketing downline.
Being confident is something that must be projected over the phone and reading from a script word for word even worse sounding like you are reading a script is just plain unprofessional. Before you start any network marketing home based business you need to practice what you are going to say to your prospects.
You need to be bold and stay in control of the conversation by asking questions to your prospect. The more questions you ask them the more you will be in control of the conversation. As you gain confidence as you build your network marketing home based business you will become more bold in your actions and create more success working from home.
Then there are those who love to talk about their home based business and will bend the ear of their prospect. This is the kiss of death in any network marketing prospecting call because your posture is not what it needs to be. When you work from home in a home based business you have either all the time in the world or no time to do anything. Be bold when talking to prospects and let them know that your time is valuable. That you are looking for the right person to form a partnership with and you don’t have time to waste.
At the same time be sure to listen to your prospects as you build your network marketing downline. Experience will come when you listen to what the person is telling you and the reasons why they want to work from home. Be bold when you are qualifying your prospects by telling them that your company may not be a good fit for them and be bolder by telling them they may not even be qualified to go to the next step with you.
For what ever reasons you started your home based business there are hundreds of other reasons of why you are going to fail at it. Not being bold is one of those reasons and network marketing is about being bold. So are you bold enough?
The ultimate statement of being bold is when you go for the closing question. How many people working from home in their network marketing company never ask the prospect if they are ready to get started? Be bold tell them “Let’s sign you up and get your business started”. Don’t be wishy-washy with your prospects. Let them know you mean business. Be bold in your home business and you will have network marketing success.

Where do you fall on the scale of success? Does your home business suffer because you are not at the top of the bell curve when it comes to achievement? When starting out in network marketing we all have the same starting point. Some will rise to the top quicker then others because of the attitude they project while others will never reach their true potential as they grow their home based business.
As I work with others in my network marketing company and help people build their home based business, I find that they tell me there is not nearly enough time in the day for them to do what they have to do to grow their business. They think that just talking to one person who agrees to look at their web site is good enough for them for the day. Success in network marketing starts with an attitude of more then enough.
When building a home based business you should have thoughts in your head that you will have more then enough people to introduce to your network marketing company. There are so many people I meet that want to become successful but don’t do nearly enough work to rise above the challenges that working from home brings. They think that by just joining a company that is good enough and that they don’t take the personal responsibility to grow their network marketing company.
What if you were growing plants in a garden, could those plants survive if you did not water them? Do you think that they will thrive just because nature will take care of them? Well sometimes, when you are lucky you can find the right network marketing company at the right time and get into a position that no matter what you do you will have more then enough people in your organization to take the summer months off and travel the world because your home based business is making more then enough money.
Do you believe that you should go through life just barely getting by? Living paycheck to pay check with not nearly enough to manifest your goals and dreams. On the other hand, maybe you think that where you are now is good enough. You have enough to take a two-week vacation somewhere but can work the rest of the year just to pay it off.
I feel sorry for the people who go through life with the not nearly enough or good enough mentality. They go out and spend their hard-earned money on things like flat screen TV’s or fancy new cars with sub woofers and GPS systems but they never invest that kind of money into starting a home based business. When you work from home in a network marketing company your out of pocket expense is far less then any flat screen TV.
When you start any business there are costs involved. When starting a network marketing home based business your risk is low, there are clearly advantages to supplementing your income, and starting a home based business as opposed to buying a flat screen TV. When you start to grow your business at first it seems like there is not nearly enough people who want to do what you do. Then if you keep at it what ever your network marketing company is you will find that you will come to a point where you feel you have done good enough. I challenge you to get to the point where you feel you have more then enough customers and people working in your network marketing company so that you can enjoy you the fruits of your efforts.
Do not lie down before you get to a point where your success can’t be stopped and live in the more then enough part of the bell curve. When your home based business reaches the levels of more then enough you will be in the top 3% of successful network marketers.

They say that experience is the best teacher. How many times have I heard that you need experience to be successful in network marketing and the home based business industry? So many people start with good intentions but experience tells me that once they get in the game they usually drop the ball just before the finish line. Then they are off to another game to start all over again.
Experience in network marketing and the home based business industry is what you get when you get what you don’t want. Most people want to become successful when they start network marketing and have passion about the product or service they are going to offer people. They can’t understand why everyone they know doesn’t see it the way they do and struggle with recruiting and finding customers for their products.
They become experienced by getting what they don’t want and they learn by doing what doesn’t work. How many times in your network marketing company have you heard to make up a list of all of your friends and family who you think would want to start a home business or who you can tell about your network marketing home based business? We all know that experience tells us that your friends and family won’t join you in your network marketing business. What about when you are just starting out? How are you going to get the experience you need in your home business if you don’t start telling people about your network marketing company?
Network marketing is about bringing people together and your experience is something that can be good or bad depending on how you are marketing your home business. Some people have a great warm market and will follow you into the gates of hell just because you said there is a prize just beyond the horizon. That is your warm market of people who like you, trust you and more importantly believe in you. Well how do you get those people to do that? Your experience at success must be demonstrated to those who are going to fork over their cash and become part of your network marketing home business organization.
Sometimes when you find someone who joins your home based network marketing business you want to give him or her all of your experience so they don’t make the same mistakes you do. There are those that will embrace this approach and others who just want to know what to do. I find the ones who just want me to tell them what to do never take the time to bring their own experience into the network marketing home business and just want the easy way to become a success. Well there is no easy way to become a success in network marketing unless you gain the experience of failure or at least the experience of hitting the ground and scrapping up your knees so to say.
Working from home in a home business using the network marketing business model can be a challenge at times but the rewards are great. You know, when launching the space shuttle most of the energy it takes to get the rocket off the ground is at the start of the lift off. What would happen if NASA decided that it should stop the momentum of the ship and shut down the engines just as the rocket starting lifting off? For most people in the home based network marketing business that is something that they usually experience.
They shut down the engines just before lift off and move to another company that promises less resistance at lift off. The truth is each network marketing company has the same challenges at the beginning when launching. If you want to reap the rewards of working from home in your own home based business then be prepared to put all of your effort into the take off because as your network marketing ship gains momentum, the amount of effort to get into outer space becomes less and less until you are floating effortlessly amongst the stars.

The tragic freak accidental crane collapse in NYC this Saturday that killed 4 and injured 17 others has hit a central nerve in our organization. My very dear friend and independent business owner Brad Cohen was one of the 4 construction workers Killed at the scene.
I had a conversation with Brad on the Friday before the accident. He was upbeat and excited about our growing business and how it was starting to provide the income he needed to never do construction again. I affirmed to him that by working together with ITV he would be able to walk away from his construction job forever.
Sadly, I will never have the opportunity to talk to my friend again and my heart goes out to Katie his wife and all of his Family.

Often times I wonder when working my home based business if the people who I am talking to have difficulty believing in themselves. It is hard enough in network marketing to get the people to believe in the products, the company and me but the challenge is for me to have them believe in themselves and the fact that they can be a success.
As I talk to people who have called me from the home based business infomercial that our company broadcasts, I find that the people calling have a common denominator and that is they all want to make money yesterday but don’t have enough in their bank account to write a check today. It is really a shame that in the greatest country in the world a 60-year-old man or woman can’t write a check to start a home based business. What is even worse is that at that point in their life they need to find a way to earn extra money from home because their current job or pension just isn’t providing the income that they need to survive.
I also find that most people I talk to have never been in a home based business or even owned any kind of business at all. Then there are those who have tried working from home and failed because they don’t like the activity of network marketing and bothering your friends relatives and business associates. For every activity there is a price and if you don’t like to work a network marketing company the traditional way then there are other methods that you can use that will cost money to implement and it takes time for any business to become successful even those of the brick and mortar type.
What I find confusing is the lack of vision and commitment of people to become a network marketing success. Even traditional business takes a 5-year commitment to really reap any reward and a home based business is no different. I find that when people request more information about working from home in a home based business they feel like they are entitled to something for nothing and have a hard time understanding why there are start up costs involved. Even people who have the money to start a home based business don’t have the drive to do what it takes to become successful in the company they join and that is why they fail.
If you want real success working from home and in network marketing then you must find a mentor who has the desired success you want to achieve. You must have the vision and understanding that “get rich quick” will only happen to people with money and those who have a shoestring budget or no money to get a home based business off the ground will be working much harder to reach a level of success. The problem with people I encounter is that even though most of them want to work at home, they don’t want to do the work involved or invest money into systems because their doubt far exceeds their certainty of success.
As I look for business partners in my network marketing company I know that my primary task is to sift out and sort those who are just wasting my time and those who have the vision and desire to do the work it takes to reach a level of success that very few will have working a home based business. My posture is such that my certainty in my company and my abilities to operate and be a success in my network marketing home based business far exceeds the doubt of the person I am talking to.
If you are working in a home based business or network marketing company and you want to have the success that so many others are looking for but never find then be sure to believe in yourself, your company and your mentor so that your certainty will far exceed your doubt. Then, no matter what network marketing company or home based business you are in your success is inevitable.

I’ve been working with the mass traffic network and finding that there are so many other ways to drive quality traffic to a web site besides Google. There are ad networks out there that will serve out your banners and text ads in content rich web sites.
These ad networks charge on a cost per thousand view rate. Some of the biger ad networks are cassell media and advertising.com but there are also other self serve networks like adbright.
You can become a publisher or an advertiser with these networks if you have a decent web site and get paid to have ads served out on your site.
Working with the mass traffic networks can bring much more quality traffic to your offer because instead of people searching for a key word on google, instead they are already at a specific channel like weight loss and they see a banner for a product which could be your offer.
The cost per thousand view is somewhere around 1.75 which gives you more people to look at your offer for less then a google adword campain.

Too often in life, we accept the “good enough” approach to achievement. Often I find that when talking to and dealing with people they are content with the “just enough to make it through the day” attitude. As I talk to others in my network marketing prospecting I find there are very few big thinkers.
Everyone wants to have more money but not many people are willing to do what it takes to be in the excellent part of the scale. They wander through life in the “good enough” part and wonder why they don’t drive a nicer car or take more vacations. When owning a home based business, I find most people will think a few hundred dollars extra a month is “good enough” for them. I think those kinds of people are missing the big picture of what network marketing and owning a home based business can do for them. Just because they join a home business with a network marketing company, it doesn’t mean that they are going to succeed especially when they have the “good enough” mentality. When you make it a habit to be excellent then good enough is now lower then what you normally expect.
When you make it a habit to be excellent in network marketing or a home based business you set yourself apart from others. It doesn’t matter what company you are with what matters is your integrity and your commitment to excellence. What matters is the value you bring to the table regardless of the products your network marketing company provides. When building a team of people to work with in your home based business, do you want people who are good enough or would you prefer to surround yourself with excellence? Successful people in network marketing make it a habit to do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. This is demonstrated by the high failure rate in network marketing and the lack of home based business success.
As I talk with people, I notice that their limited beliefs are what keep them from moving from just good enough to excellent. Without the right attitude towards network marketing success, you are destine to limited success or ultimate failure and the difference is only in the decisions you make as you grow your home based business. I wonder how many people who want to become successful in network marketing make it a habit to be excellent.
Those people who do make it a habit to be excellent demonstrate ultimate professionalism, willingness to be different and think without limited beliefs. If that were the only thing that separates the winners from the losers then it should be easy for anyone to go from the good enough part of the scale to the excellent part in every aspect of their life not just network marketing. When I look at all of the achievements and failures I’ve made along the way I can’t help but wonder if my “good enough” attitude had something to do with my degree of success.
I make it a habit to be excellent not only in my mind but in my everyday activities. It took me a while to realize that being a leader and being successful in business requires some degree of excellence. We all want to be on a winning team and in order to succeed in network marketing and in home based business you must be willing to separate yourself from the crowd and provide excellence in not only your products but in your service to your organization and others in your company as well.
Network marketers and companies that use the network marketing business model have fell short of the deliverance of excellence that is expected of people who are just starting out in the home based business field. They make it seam that all you have to do is join, spend your money and the income will flow without any effort on your part. If you don’t demand excellence from yourself then how can you expect excellence from others? If you expect all the work to be done for you then how can you become excellent yourself?
In your home based business, you should deliver and expect excellence and constantly be on the look out for others who rank higher on the scale. Sponsor people who make a habit to be excellent and your network marketing home business will be a success.
