Mlm Success Training- The Mlm Success Secrets To Scorching Mlm Leadership
By Doug Firebaugh
by Doug Firebaugh
As far as your Network Marketing business, Let me ask you some questions:
1) What is going to be the driving force in your business in the future?
2) What is going to be the catalyst for taking your business to the next level and beyond?
3) What is going to ignite a success inferno in your business and stoke it every week?
4) What is going to create a downline wildfire of growth in your business?
5) What is going to direct, navigate and guide you through the challenges that lie ahead this year?
These are tough questions and it may take a little time to ponder them. To save time, perhaps I can offer some assistance here -- the answer should be just one word, and one word only for all five questions.
That word is going to be the defining factor in your ultimate success or lack of it. The answer is the kerosene that fuels a fire storm of success in your downline and your life if you let it. It is written on the walls of the successful distributors' hearts, branded in their minds, and reflected in their eyes.
It is the catalyst for higher performance in anything, and can create more success in your business than you ever imagined. I know what I am talking about because it drove my Networking business for over ten years and those of all the successful people I know. It attracts success and wealth like a magnet on steroids, and contains all the secrets of creating wealth in this business.
Anything that has been written about this business points to this enormous power in some way. It worked so well in the organization I was honored to be a part of that, and I've devoted my professional life, through PassionFire International, to taking the message to the industry worldwide.
What is this answer, this message, I'm alluding to? Leadership -- true, pure, unbridled leadership -- the most powerful force in Network Marketing success.
We have a saying at PassionFire: "Passion is the Secret Weapon to Success, and Leadership is the Secret Weapon to Network Marketing."
When passion ignites, it can melt anything that gets in its way passionate leadership is like an electric power station with focused, contained power that can explode anything it touches. That's the power that will create new millennium millionaires in this industry. Truly, no amount of instruction, training, or teaching will ever equal the explosive success power of passionate leadership!
I know a lot of well-educated, well-intentioned folks who know the mechanics of this business -- all the right words, phrases and answers that sound great -- but are barely getting by. They have incredible potential, but lack the leadership focus and heart that their downline is starving for in their success journey.
Do you realize your people are looking for MLM leadership? There is nothing sadder in this industry than when an organization that explodes with momentum eventually outgrows the distributor due to lack of leadership, and falls apart, piece by piece, day by day. This happens all the time! But it doesn't have to. In this new millennium, we can change that. To that end, I've changed my understanding of what MLM stands for -- for me, from now on it stands for: Moving Leadership Momentum!
For Moving your business, create Momentum with Leadership! All leaders know how important momentum is in this business -- especially for the new distributor! With passionate leadership, you can create that momentum in your group. The first step is understanding what leadership means in Network Marketing.
Defining Network Marketing Leadership
Leadership is a set of skills, strategies, attitudes, and beliefs that we engage consistently, daily, and fervently for everyone's benefit. To define it specifically for our industry:
Leadership in Network Marketing is boldly taking on the responsibilities and commitments of creating an empowering environment and a path to success that people willingly follow.
Go back and read that one more time and notice how it makes you feel. Are you that kind of leader? Are you doing that for others? Let's take a closer look at that definition... .
The first power word in the definition above is bold. Leaders in this business are willing to step up to the bat, see what has not been seen, think what has not been thought, say what has not been said, and do what has not been done. That is a vivid, technicolor "word picture" of Network Marketing leaders. They are bold in their thinking, their vision, their words, and their actions. At PassionFire we teach that BOLD stands for Bringing On Leadership Destiny!
Boldness creates a destiny of success while timidity is like a cancer in this business. Leaders get out on the edge and stay there, empowering others to join them. Are there people who think you can't succeed? Do what you have not done before, think like you have never thought before, and accomplish what you `ve only dreamed before -- it takes bold leadership to show them what's possible in Network Marketing.
Next, note the word responsibility. Leaders understand the weight of responsibility, and do not shirk from it. They know that someone has to take action to make anything happen, and they accept that task willingly. They know what they are responsible for as well as what they are not.
For example, leaders know that ultimately they are not responsible for their distributors' success. They are responsible for educating them to do this business, preparing them for the challenges that might arise, and supporting them along the way, but each distributor must engage and embrace their own success.
It's not unlike being a personal fitness trainer. The trainer can teach her clients how to lift weights, why to lift and when to lift, but they must do the lifting and the grunting. If she lifts the weights for them, she'll get the benefits, not them. They'll lose interest and say, "Weight lifting doesn't work!" -- sound familiar? Leaders strive to build permanent downlines always. They are willing to dig

10 Things To Do To Ensure You Come Across As A Complete Idiot In Your Email CorrespondenceEmail etiquette is one of the most overlooked parts of education even in B Schools across the country. Writing an email is an art, but it isn't all that complicated. It takes a basic level of awareness and some guidelines to ensure your email correspondence can have the desired effectiveness, especially for an Introduction or a Business correspondence.ERP and Portal - Working Together: Getting Maximum Value From Your ERP InvestmentThe 1990 was the decade of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). ERP systems became the center of the business operations by providing employee access to information that was consolidated and coordinated in one application. Now, a decade later, many companies want to extend the reach of their ERP to non-ERP applications, and also to their trading partners outside the organization. Getting the right information into the right person's hands, at the right time, in the right place (factory floor, warehouse, 18 wheeler), and in the right format (portal, PDA, printed) is defining the next level of productivity. It is all about providing access and making information truly useful to everyone up and down the entire supply chain.Case Study: Using an Employee Opinion Survey to Affect Organizational ChangeMany organizations that administer employee opinion surveys act on the results in the same way. They analyze the survey data to determine specific areas for action, organization-wide and at geographic, division and department levels. This analysis can result in meaningful insight and change. However, employee surveys contain wealth of data to be mined and most analyses only scratch the surface. When utilized to its full potential this valuable information can stimulate broader and more effective organization development. This case study describes an organization that used its survey to uncover specific "Pockets of greatness" within itself and to further study these discoveries for best practices to model and apply across the rest of the enterprise. The resulting information became a critical aspect of a broader organizational change process.Micromanagement and DelegationDelegation can be difficult to learn because it looks like a huge risk and a huge leap of faith. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are techniques explained in the paper that a person can learn that will help him delegate and get him out of the detail. And he has to get out of the detail if he really wants to be an executive.8 Sources to Research Awesome Article TopicsWriting articles is by far the most effective online promotion strategy the author has come across. If a person can write good, readable, original content, he can easily put himself far ahead of the pack in his field of interest. But article marketers and new article writers are often stumped for topics to write about. Finding topics that appeal to his readers can be time-consuming but well worth the effort.Time and Attendance SystemTime and attendance systems are designed to assist organizations to effectively manage the working hours of employees. They are a paperless system used to collect the work time of employees electronically. The systems automate and simplify timekeeping and human resource management. Time and attendance systems effectively interact with any payroll system.Writing Skills - Before You Write It Down, Know ThisMany people are intimidated by writing. Even so, there are times when writing is the best way to communicate, and oftentimes the only way to get the message across. Thankfully nowadays technology makes memo, letter and proposal writing much easier by providing reliable tools that check and even correct misspelled words and incorrect grammar use. Unfortunately, these tools are not fail proof and will require the support, making the knowledge in this area important.Effective Email - How to Communicate Powerfully by EmailAs with all written communications, emails should be clear and concise. Sentences should be kept short and to the point. This starts with the email's subject line. Use the subject line to inform the receiver of exactly what the email is about. Keep in mind, the subject line should offer a short summary of the email and allows for just a few words. Because everyone gets emails they do not want (spam, etc.), appropriate use of the subject line increases the chances the email will be read and not discarded into the deleted email file without so much as a glance.Making Headway on a Slow Day: 9 Ways to Turn Down - Time Into Productivity TimeIf a person works from home, he knows the kind of day the author mean. He made the calls. He revised those drafts. He sent out the emails. Where is everybody!? As much as he used to relish a slow day when he was corporate, it's a little different when he is playing boss to himself. His mind gets to wandering. Should he head out to the park? Should he hit the mall? Should he... file for unemployment? A slow day is his big chance to get cracking on those little plans that will lead to big business for his company. In this paper the author explains how to make headway on a slow day.Online HOA NewslettersIn homeowner associations, consistent and effective communication is extremely important to build consensus and to keep the gossip mill at bay. Besides the timely distribution of meeting minutes, newsletters are key to this charge. While printed newsletters have been the norm, the internet offers a wonderful alternative to publish newsletters online and eliminate printing, mailing, labeling and postage costs. Online newsletters offer a number of really cool features that printed copy either can't or would be very expensive to duplicate. They can include color for no extra charge so pictures, graphics and fonts can shine with chromatic intensity. The same feature for printed newsletters ratchets up the cost considerably.HOA Newsletter EssentialsEvery homeowner association needs to communicate regularly to the members on HOA related issues like finances, rules, meeting minutes and the like. Adding the personal touch with pictures of newcomers and volunteers makes the piece of greater interest to many. Besides content, newsletters need to have an appealing and organized look. Software programs like Microsoft Publisher offers professional looking templates which require little more than filling in the blanks. With a little effort, the same effect can be cloned with word processing programs like Word and Word Perfect. The internet provides a substantial number of resources to assist in newsletter execution.Do Your Newsletter Subscribers Visit Your Web Site?The Excess Voice newsletter goes out to a little under 10,000 subscribers. Conventional wisdom has it that these 10,000 souls are among the most interested in the web site and the various resources it offers. After all, everyone who receives the newsletter went to the site at least once in order to sign up.Email Newsletter Marketing: Step-by-Step Guidelines for Professional Marketers on Producing Email Newsletters That Get ResultsFew companies achieve the full potential of their email newsletters. Publishing a content-rich newsletter on a regular basis can dramatically increase the number of people who come to a person' site and buy. Creating a quality newsletter and building a large list of loyal subscribers is a long-term strategy. But the results can be remarkable.Great Newsletters Deliver Complete Content, ConsistentlyIn the early days of the web, there were some wonderful, informative, interesting newsletters. Now, more and more newsletters have become little more than HTML candy...with small snippets of incomplete content, accompanied by links through to an accompanying web site. The result is that the newsletters themselves are not interesting, not useful, not satisfying...and destined for the junk folder.Focusing on EzinesDoes a person know how to really increase his sales & profits online? A guaranteed route to success used by many Internet marketers who turn a profit is to incorporate ezines & newsletters into their marketing strategy. Ezines and newsletters are a genuinely useful tool in the Internet marketer' armory. They serve as a platform to communicate products & services to subscribers who have a qualified interest in a certain field or subject - either through advertising, product endorsement or articles and content.
the pond, fill it with water, stock it with fish and teach you to fish, but the new distributor must cast the line. The third power word in this definition of leadership is commitment. Commitment is the cement in the foundation of any successful organization. Committed leaders are magnetic, attracting people to them effortlessly. Why? Because leaders know that commitment is less something said or done than felt. It empowers anyone who comes in contact with them because they can feel it. We all know people in this industry who are sought after and respected, and almost without fail it is because of their unshakable commitment to success, to their people, and to Network Marketing. You will be forced in this business to do things you don't feel like doing at the time they need doing or with whom they are to be done, but know that it's your commitment in those times that will determine whether you are followed as a leader or eventually ignored. Next, consider the word create. If I had to choose only one word to define leadership, this would be it. Put simply, leaders are creators -- they create something where there was nothing before. They crystallize the future into a tapestry woven with the threads of dreams, belief, and action. Leaders create magnetic direction, powerful influence, hope, possibility, and environments for growth. Leaders have the extraordinary ability to see the invisible -- the art of vision. They take a thought, and by sharing it with others and asking their help, bring it into existence. They create compelling visions that people can believe in -- in Network Marketing, it's often that most important of beliefs which can change our lives for the better. The MLM Word CHANGE. I see change as a sister word of create. Leaders are change agents -- they create positive change in people's lives. They know that change must occur to increase or expand anything. Change creates new directions and perspectives which are what Network Marketing is all about. Are you starting to see that Network Marketing and leadership are blended so tightly, it's tough to tell them apart sometimes? Leaders don't just accept change, they embrace it for themselves and make it part of their message. The power of their approach is in the choice to embrace rather than accept. The next vital part of this definition is the concept of an empowering environment. In the same way that our environment on earth determines what grows, what thrives, what lives, and what does none of these, so does the environment you create within your organization affect its growth, stagnation, mediocrity, or decline. It must encourage and foster hope and possibilities, not hype and impossibilities. It must empower people to maximize their strengths. What creates your leadership environment? Your words, your moods, your actions, your consistency, your expectations, your caring, your beliefs, and your attitudes. Is your environment full of sunshine or dark clouds? Is it full of belief or doubt? Maximum empowerment brings maximum growth. Near the end of the definition is the term path to success. Leaders provide their people with a clear, engaging, step-by-step path to achievement of their goals. In fact, it's better to think of it not just as a path to success, but also as a part of success. By helping people develop a success awareness -- a mindset of focus and power and possibility from the start -- you give them a chance to succeed at every stage in the process. You do this by sharing tools and trainings with them and saturating the environment of your organization with expectancy and anticipation! Be out in front -- say "Come on! You can do it, and I'll show you the way. Few people take the time to celebrate small successes, the unintimidating actions or the seemingly insignificant tasks, but this is one of the most important things you can do for the growth of your organization. It is amazing how recognition and celebration of small victories produce opportunities for celebrating incredible victories. The final noteworthy phrase above is willingly follow. Do your distributors trust your judgement implicitly? Is it worthy of their trust? Do they follow your lead and promote it to their organizations? New millennium leadership demands and will not settle for anything less than trust between upline and downline. One of the greatest secrets of leadership is that people will be drawn to someone who cares and has the strength to empower that emotion. People are compelled to follow strength, and I am not just talking about power, but presence with power -- and there is a difference. Lots of managers have power, and use it, but don't have presence. A strong presence is felt, not spoken, and people pick up on it immediately and follow. It works like a magnet in this business. A leader in this business is someone who is going places and taking excited people with her. You see, people have one question they'll never ask but are always seeking the answer for: Is this person strong enough to help me achieve what I want in life? This is what I call the "unspoken determinant," and if they assess that the answer is yes, get out your flute, because the Pied Piper has arrived on the scene! Strength in leadership comes from not being sold on the business, but sold out to it! You no longer are in the business, the business is in you! This creates a magnetic presence and personal credibility that people feel compelled to follow. Together, these elements will create a leadership that can drive any business to the heights of success. It all starts with one word -- decision. Decision is your catalyst for the leadership you've just learned about, the fuse that ignites and creates that power within I call SuccessFire. Decision is the flame that ignites all success in leadership. Another PassionFire proverb is "Choice determines Direction Decision determines Destiny." There is only limited power in the word choice, because it is a selection that can be changed. Decision is a mindset, a "heart set" that is steadfast. Let me ask you a new millennium million-dollar question: Have you made a choice to try this business, or a decision to become successful in it? I urge you to lead yourself and your group into the new millennium ignited by the flame of decision -- decide to let the kerosene of leadership explode your business into an inferno! MLM Leadership Quest. This brings us to a vital aspect of your personal leadership quest. You must learn to lead you first, before you can lead others. The path to leadership success is built first with bricks of personal leadership, then with group leadership. How can people follow anyone who doesn't display and practice leadership in his own life? You can empower others to boldness, commitment, discipline, and presence only if you display these attributes in your own being. This is why I mentioned earlier how organizations can outgrow distributors -- it happens! Personal leadership comes from personal growth. If you have made a decision to become the best, and are doing the things necessary to engage success beyond your comfort level, you are displaying and building personal leadership. You don't have to be perfect to be a leader, because ongoing transformation is part of leadership. Work this business through the eyes of a leader, not just a distributor. There is huge difference! You'll find that the path to success becomes much more easily traveled through the eyes of leadership. I encourage you to engage in ongoing mlm leadership development for six months -- face to face with a mentor, on a conference call, or in dedicated personal study of the wealth of resources available for the asking. I testify to the impact of this from experience -- you'll cut your attrition in half and your whole organization will feel the dramatic shift in your MLM and Network Marketing.
