Why are MLM's and businesses in the USA failing at a high rate?
Why did Japan takeover and lead the world in car and other production?

It's time for a PARADIGM shift in business.

We have been doing 20th Century business practices in
the 21st Century!

What has changed? Well, just about everything has changed,
just incase you haven't noticed. With banks failing, businesses
going under and the average younger employee sticking with
a company on the average of 13 months....something has
to change or give!

How can we deal with changing times?

#1 We must realize that this is now a GLOBAL economy.
With the Internet we are talking and selling to the world!

#2 We must understand the issues are of the HEART.
We must understand how people think and are motivate to buy.
The biggest motivator is PAIN not PLEASURE!
Today, there is a lot of pain in the world.
How am I going to make enough money to pay
my bills? Will my job be there tomorrow?
What am I going to do about retirement?
All these fears control how people buy and spend their
money.

#3 Business management has to have a paradigm shift.
Take a look at Zappos' shoes. They have revolutionized
not only the shoe business, but online marketing. They
have taken customer service to a whole new level.
Dr. Deming, a famous man who brought Japan
a paradigm shift, changed a nation. They put
his business practice to work and within a few years
they were beating the best nation on the planet for quality
and service.

#4 Compensation - how a person makes money.
If 97% of people involved in MLM's never make
money, that is a model that is broken. The
industry needs a makeover!

I recently came across a business that deals with
all these issues in a new paradigm shift and
I found that it's worth my time and I hope you'll
take a look and consider if it is worth your time.

Working from Home - The UPS and DOWNS!

2008-09-29T15:10:00.000-07:00

I've been an entrepreneur for many years now.

I love having the freedom to work from home
also to be able to manage my own time

It's not alway fun and easy - it is work too.

Sure, there are problems being your own boss.
Sometimes I don't feel like working
and have to force myself to get out of bed and go to work...
but who doesn't!

Sometimes, I don't want to make the phone calls or work on my computer.

So what, that's life! But, all in all, it's really a wonderful way to live.

If you want to have success, I have found some key things
you will want to consider:

1) A marketing product or service that people will pay for on a monthly basis.

(How about a 21st Century product or service?)

2) A price point that doesn't scare people away and that they can manage to pay monthly.

(And how about referring a few others to use it and you get yours paid for?)

3) A company that is in good standing in the industry
(Not known for ripping people off).

4) Great online marketing tools.

5) Ease of use.

Here's one I'm excited about....

What is an ENTREPRENEUR?

An ENTREPRENEUR is a person who has decided they
want to venture away from the traditional f
orm of making money (employment) and go in business for themselves.

Why go in business for yourself?

Why not? I read that in today's economy and
with companies being as unstable as they are -
it's more risky to work for someone else, then it is yourself!

What type of people SHOULD NOT go business for themselves?

Anyone who doesn't like the word "WORK".
It is a lot of work to go in business for yourself.
And, if anyone tells you differently...
RUN...in the opposite direction!

I have started two businesses, three churches
(with my husband), one community television
station (FCTV) and joined several MLM business opportunites.

I sold one of my businesses, and the other one
I'm still operating, two of our three churches are still going, the community television station continues to prosper and
ONE of the dozens of MLM's, I made money with.

The reason I'm telling you this is because
that's the way it works when you start a business...
sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't,
but you don't stop working at it, until you find
something that works!!
That's what makes a successful ENTREPRENEUR!

I'm met a lot of people who THINK
(they just think and don't DO anything),
they JUST THINK that if they JOIN a
MLM or start a business, that is will grow
and people will come and buy.

That's the BIGGEST mistake, the BIGGEST LIE ever!
WHY? Because the first thing is that
NO ONE EVEN KNOWS you are in business for yourself!

They've got to find out. In order to do that you have to TELL THEM!!!
That means you have to PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THEM!

Or hire someone to PICK UP THE PHONE and call them
or you have to hire a marketing firm to tell them,
or you have to pay for advertising - BIG BUCKS -
you want to reach lots! Or, you have to learn how to do
INTERNET MARKETING,
SOMETHING to GET THE WORD out that you are in business!

Okay, having exposed that lie.
Let me go on the to next one.
The next big LIE that people buy into is,
if I tell them the will BUY! NO, NO, NO!

People don't BUY BECAUSE WE tell them.
They buy because they WANT TOO!
They buy because YOU evoked within them
an emotion and they said WITHIN their conscious
or subconscious, that they NEEDED or WANTED
this thing or service you have to offer.

So, you will either have to DO THE RESEARCH,
ASK the Questions and find out what people
want and how to evoke those desires to buy within...
or you'll have to hire someone who can do it for you.

Or, you can take some SALES courses,
listen to CD's or join a networking
group that TEACHES you these important
KEY princples to HUMAN nature.
WITHOUT THIS UNDERSTANDING
you will look like a DEER staring into
an on-coming car headlights!'
And if you don't watch out, you'll be
hit and wondering what hit you!

WHY am I telling you all these things?
Because I have a passion to HELP YOU
not beat your head up against the wall
like I did! I have done more DUMB stuff
and it has cost me LOTS! Lots of money,
and lots of pain and heartache!

However, I'm not complaining,
I'm FOREVER GRATEFUL,
because I know more now than ever and
I can use what I do know to create greater
wealth and share it with others and see them prosper too!

That's all for today. I enjoyed sharing this with you.

Until next time...
