How Failure Creates Great Success

Last Friday I took my 8 year old son skiing for the first time.

While he was off from school for parent teacher conferences, I just took OFF.

Because when you run your own successful home based business, you can do that sort of thing.

You know, movies in the middle of the day on a weekday while everyone else is at work, sleeping in 'til noon if you feel like it...you name it - YOU own your time to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want.


Anyway...

So I'm on a ski lift on my way up to the top of the mountain and I'm watching these young kids in the snow park below me, perform all sorts of aerials on skis.

It was pretty awesome to see these kids on skis doing backflips, twists and all sorts of maneuvers in mid air and actually land on their feet.

Well, when I got to the top of the lift and skied down the mountain a little, I decided to go check out the competition and watch for a few minutes with a couple hundred people standing around drinking hot chocolate and cheering the kids on.

So this one kid approaches the starting gate, ready to begin his heat, and starts gliding down the hill.

Just when all of us spectators are ready to see some magic, he catches an edge at his first jump and winds up face first on the snow, body flailing like a rag doll and sliding down on his belly towards the fence.

Everyone just stood silently to see if he was ok.

Thankfully, the kid laid there for just a quick moment, stood up, brushed himself off and continued back down the mountain to finish the rest of his routine.

Amazingly, he nailed every single jump and finished his run just flawless.

Matter of fact, he performed so well that he wound up coming in first place for his age group, which had 7 other kids all going for the gold medal.

And so, I began to really think about this.

Here's a kid who fell flat on his face within just seconds of getting started for his gold medal run, falls flat on his face, gets up and brushes himself off, and still finishes flawlessly.

All I could think if at first was...WOW -AWESOME!

But then I began thinking about it.

The reason this kid actually won, is because he wasn't afraid to fall again.

And because he did fall at first, the reason he performed the rest of his routine flawlessly, was because there was no more pressure to be perfect.

He already proved that he was human and was still able to perform at his best.

This is also why he won. Because this is how winners perform.

They are not afraid to fail and continue learning from each experience. This is how you develop wisdom.

This then got me thinking about how home business entrepreneurs operate.

They put so much pressure on themselves to do everything right, say the right things and be perfect, that they go either way too slow to ever create any momentum, stay stuck or just dont go at all.

When all along, if they would not worry so much about the outcome and just stay focussed on the process, not only would they learn the most productive skills they need to get to the top of success mountain, but they'd also develop the character to stay there.

You see, a HUGE part of success, is failure. Because without failure, there would not be any success.

Just like without cold, there would not be heat or without bottom, there would be no top
So, if you want more success in your business and in your life, not only should you be willing to welcome failure, but expect it. More importantly,expect to learn from it.

So, the bottom line is...if you are already experiencing some results, great - keep at it.
However, if you truly want to double your rate of success, then you must be willing to double your rare of failure.

Remember, you don't have to get it all right to succeed - you just have to get it going.

Millionaire #11...Coming Right UP?

It's been said that smart people learn from their own mistakes; but wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

When starting a new home based business, the value of surrounding yourself with successful people is truly priceless.

The truth is, if 10 of your best friends are millionaires, there's a pretty good chance that you are going to become #11.

How would you like this opportunity?

The more time you invest working with successful people, chances are, you will start thinking like them, speaking like them and taking action like them.

Over time, you will start offering value like them and then start earning like them.

When Sophia & I first started our New Business, our Company was hosting a LIVE Event in Las Vegas just a few days later.

We had a choice to make: Either keep the capital in our bank account to be used for advertising and marketing...OR...get to the event and meet our mentors and the top money earners in the Company.

So, that's exactly what we did. We invested in ourselves and our future and flew with our 4 1/2 month old son to Las Vegas for a 4 day weekend to meet with, get to know and pick the brains of the top leaders and income earners.

Not only did we dine with them and get to know them personally, but we asked questions and listened intently to exactly what they are doing to be top earners.

We introduced ourselves on breaks and asked a few questions and at every turn, we sought them out, to learn some more.




By the end of our first LIVE exposure to the business and top earners, we had pages and pages of notes, so that as soon as we returned home to begin marketing, we knew exactly what we had to do, in order to become one of them.

Well, after just 5 months into our New Business, we've been blessed to do just that, making over 5 figures in just our 4th month and right now, in just our 5th month, we have already earned over 15K, and we still have half the month to go!

We dove in, committed to learning the a new System, the Skills and a new way of marketing, and sure enough, we are now right on top of the Leaderboard in 6 out of 6 Categories that they rank their members.

Click on the screen shot below to enlarge. (click back to return to this page)















Keep in mind that we did this without:

- Calling Cold Leads
- Pitching our Friends or Family
- Making a List of Everyone We Know
- Hosting One Home Party
- Attending Weekly Meetings or Hotel Events

Yes, we have cracked the code and are working daily with our team to duplicate our success.

Now we know that this type of success is NOT for everyone, but for the right people, it's the best way to master marketing on the internet, learn technology and position yourself in front of a huge audience of people who are already searching for what you have to offer.

This is how our System works and how you can start making big money with us.

Since we are doing it right now, we know exactly what to do, how to teach it and how to guide anyone with the desire to succeed, right to the top.

If that is you, go ahead and check out our Business & Marketing System.

We look forward to meeting you and teaching you everything we know...

Speak with you then,

Aaron & Sophia

2 Biggest Mistakes of Home Business Entrepreneurs

Ok, so today we're going to look at 2 of the Biggest Mistakes that most entrepreneurs make that casuse them to FAIL when getting started in a new Home Based Business and how YOU can avoid them like the plague.

After you read this post, you should be way ahead of those who will continually fall into these traps and be well on your way to much more success.

The 2 Biggest Mistakes of Home Business Entrepreneurs are:

#1- They tell themselves the wrong story.

#2 - They allow the same reason that they are looking to start a new business, be the excuse why they don't.

Let's examine.

#1 - The only thing that stops people from achieving huge success, is the story that they tell themselves about why they cannot do it.

I don't know enough.

I am not smart enough.

I don't have the skills.

I don't have the time.

I don't have the money.

I don't know, I don't have, I'm not...you get my drift?

This is a story that they've been telling themself for years, if not decades and sadly enough, they believe it.

So to them, it's true.

And no matter how much they think they want to change, until they change their story, they will never change anything about themselves, their business or their life.

Now that's a SAD story...

#2 - They allow the same reason that they are looking to start a new business, be the excuse why they don't.

For example - a person says, "I don't have enough money. I want to start a home based business."

So they do some research and find out that it will cost them $500 to get started. And then here comes that excuse and they say, "I want to start a home based business because I know that it could provide me with a lot more money, but I just don't have enough money to get started".

Another person says, "I don't spend enough quality time with my family or free time for myself. I want to start a home based business because I know it can provide me more free time."

So they start looking at different opportunities, but don't join any, because...you guessed it...they say, "I want to start a business because I know that it could provide me a lot more free time in my life to do the things I really want to do , but I can't get started because I just don't have enough time."

One more... Perhaps even you might be saying, "I want to start a business because I'm afraid of what the economy is going to do. I'm afraid that I might lose my job. I'm afraid that I might not have enough money to provide for myself and my family and I'm afraid that I could lose my home if I can't pay my bills or mortgage."

So, you begin investigating how you can start a home based business so that you don't have to live with all that constant fear, and sure enough, you don't, because you begin to feel the fear set in and then the story comes and then the silent excuse that only you know to be true...you become afraid.

So let's recap:

The 2nd biggest mistake people looking to start a home based business make, is that they allow the same reason they are looking to get started, be the exact same excuse that they don't.

Do you see the trap here?

It's all in the mind of the person making the excuse.

Truth is, you cannot solve a problem with the same mindset that it took to create it.

So, in the future, if you are looking to start a new home based business, make sure to tell yourself that you can be successful, and then, when it comes down to your reasons why, do not allow yourself to believe the story, about why you can't, shouldn't or wouldn't do it.

You can do whatever you set your mind to.

All it takes is to re-program your thinking, get aligned with a great mentor and a great system and if you are willing to be coached and then put forth the effort by doing what other successful people are doing, you can be, do and have whatever you are looking for.

Maximize, Optimize & Monetize

It doesn't shock me.

Matter of fact, it's to be expected.

Afterall, we are in an economy and marketplace that is so different than any most of us have ever lived through.

Corporate Employees are not the only people who need a Plan B these days - EVERYONE does.

And not just a Plan B, but a Plan C, Plan D & Plan E.

It used to be that we'd have more security if we just started a home based business.

Today, to have only one income stream is dangerous - downright ignorant.

Especially dangerous and ignorant for the Home Business Professional to only offer one product or service.

It used to be this way.

Get behind your company and market it and nothing else.

No secondary income.

No back up plan.

Ask some of the Excel Communications Reps how they feel today.

Ask some of the Nutrition for Life Distributors how they feel today.

Most of them banked on these HUGE companies being around forever.

They neglected the fact that just as fast as a company can rise, it can fall.

And if you weren't doing your business right, your business could wind up doing you.

You must not have one income stream anymore.

There is too much at stake.

You must brand yourself first, then your company or products.

You see, the Market dictates which companies and products will succeed.

The Market decides who will become a winner and who will lose.

The Market determines who deserves to prosper and who will continually struggle.

And with the market getting bigger and bigger every day, you'd better provide more value than ever if you want to compete.

You'd better provide cutting edge information for people to benefit from.

And you'd better provide better vehicles for people to use to get what they want.

Gone are the days of making $5 for each person on Autoship in your downline.

Gone are the days of hoping that your company pays you big money for the rest of your life.

Sure, it could happen.

But what if it doesn't.

What if your company goes through a major shift and instead of seeing massive momentum, you see a declining volume and check.

What will you do? Work harder of course.

How about work smarter?

How about making up the difference in your declining income with other streams?

How about finding a niche and offering several different tools or systems to your prospects and then offering your primary business on the back end, if they make it that far.

Quit cramming your business and products down people's throats.

What if before they even showed up in your downline, you offered them some valuable training, some tools to help them succeed, even if they never joined you.

What if you learned to "monetize" every aspect of your marketing so that no matter who came on board with you or not, you profited every time.

It's being done by all the top marketers online.

It's being done by all the top marketers offline.

Both are making money hand over fist.

Perhaps its time for you to do it too.

Learn about monetization.

Learn about self liquidating offers.

Learn about continuity.

Learn how to make it big in today's marketplace and offer a solution, not just a product that people don't want, don't need and can't afford.

I'll tell you what though...you'd be surprised how fast people will pay for something that will help them become more successful

Go here to learn how to attract endless leads for your business & cash to your bank account, whether they join or not.

It's really just the beginning to a whole new world.

The Squirrel and Your Success

When I was a young boy, I used to watch my grandfather set squirrel traps in his yard.

He did this because from time to time, a squirrel would make its way down his chimney and into the house. My grandmother appreciated his efforts more than you can imagine.

So, my grandpa would catch them, and then drive them over to the local park and set them free.

Each time he trapped one, sometimes within hours, another squirrel would find its way into the trap and feast on the peanuts and crackers provided by my grandfather.

It was quite comical to say the least as my grandfather became obsessed with keeping these furry little pests out of his house. Go figure!

One day it occured to him that perhaps it wasn't just another squirrel eating all the bait he set out - maybe it was the same squirrel just coming back each time it got hungry.

So...one day he decided to mark its tail with a tiny bit of purple spray paint and then see if his little friend was in fact the frequent flyer.

It turned out that it was not the same squirrel every time, but a different one, until one day, sure enough there was the purple tail!

We never laughed so hard as that day when my grandpa told us this story about how he was out-smarted by a squirrel.

Observing this as a young boy, I learned a thing or two about squirrels, that has everything to do with your success.

I take the following excerpt from John Elliot's Overacheivment.

Imagine this: Have you ever seen a squirrel scurry across a telephone wire?

What do you think it was thinking?

Quick hint: It wasn’t.

Squirrels don’t think. They just scurry.

It's actually a little more complex than that, but the point is simple:

They’re not up there on the high wire thinking, “Oh, my! This one’s high. It’s a little windy today. If I take a wrong step that’s gonna hurt. OMG! It’ll kill me actually. OK. Left front foot, now back right foot. Oh, Geez! This is harder than I thought it would be.”

Thoughts like that require a cerebral cortex.

And, if you want to get into what Eliot calls the “Trusting Mindset”—the mindset of overachievers — you need to learn to turn it off and give your skills free reign, not focusing “on anything but the target of that particular moment.”



------------END of Excerpt-----------------



So, what does this mean to your success?

Everything.


It means trusting yourself.

It means doing, not thinking.

As the late, great Bob Schmidt told me 10 years ago sitting in his little office off Tamarac in San Diego, there are only 2 types of soldiers -the quick and the dead. (not to be distasteful)

So, if you desire to become a top producer and become more successful, don't allow yourself to think yourself right out of success.

I see too many people do this, where they analyze everything, think it through, but just never act on it.

I mean, what good is it to know it all, but have nothing to show for it in terms of actually using that knowledge to profit?

This is called being a "broke genius". The know it all who has nothing to speak of.

The key then is not to over analyze and just do it.

Just like the squirrel.

Prospect Less to Make More

I received a great question today from Terri in Halifax Nova Scotia.

Terri wrote, "With all the hoopla about magnetic sponsoring, attraction marketing, not paying for business opportunity leads and such, why do you still sell your CDs if they are about cold market prospecting and recruiting?"

First, I love this question Terri.

Thanks for allowing me to shed some light here.

First, although I've personally enrolled well over a thousand people in my career from a cold market and hundreds from a warm market, the strategies and concepts I teach on my own training CDs can be applied to any market, no matter where you get your leads or contacts.

Whether you generate your own leads, purchase leads or participate in a team co-op, you still must learn how to speak to, and more importantly, listen to people.

Now when I say listen, I don't mean for you to give away your power to someone who proceeds to give you a drunkalog about their lives. I'm talking about listening to someone who is answering your leading questions about why they are looking for a new opportunity, what they are looking for and why.

You see, we are all in the people business, not necessarily the business that most people think we are in which us why most people struggle to make it.

They're out peddling product and pitching their opportunity to any one who will listen.

So, even though I am all for attraction marketing, funded proposals and online positioning, I still believe that knowing how to converse with people is critical to your success.

In other words, just because network marketers can now use the internet to leverage their time, enery and efforts, it doesn't mean that we should sit behind our computers all day and avoid talking to people.

It's actually quite the opposite.

But the differecnce is who we are talking to.

Instead of making countless outbound calls to people who don't know me, my company or my product, now, I can sit down for an hour or two and call back only the ones who have not only been to my website, but who have already purchased at my website, making me a small profit before we even speak.

This is the power of target marketing, attraction marketing, persuassive sales copy and funded proposals.

In other words, my prospects now pay me to take a look at my business.

I still call these people but now instead of having to posture them like I used to when they didn't know me, (or want to know me!), these new customers of mine are excited that I've even taken the time to call them so the conversation is way more relaxed and enjoyable for both of us.

Yes, I quit prospecting, and make morey money than ever!

So, now that I don't spend countless hours on the phone with all the wrong people, now I can be 100% focused on my Marketing which makes even MORE money.

Do you get this? When you do. It's POWERFUL!

As Mike talks about in his Magnetic Sponsoring Course, the dynamics completely change when you become the hunted, instead of the hunter!

Now, my conversations consist of my prospect telling me what they are looking for and why they bought my funded proposal product.

During the conversation, instead of me trying to figure out a way to subtly weave my business into the "pitch" and focus on who "I'm" looking for, I just ask a few questions, sit back and listen.

Since it was their idea to visit my website in the first place, to buy my funded proposal product and even call me before I get a chance to call them, they are already highly motivated to move to the next step, which is to get more information or simply, get started.

Most of the time, they volunteer to do that, too!

So what does this have to do with my CDs?

Everything!

Because if you don't know what questions to ask, how to listen, what to listen for or the mindset that you must be in to succeed, then even if your marketing system does 90% of the heavy lifting for you, you still won't make a good impression as a leader when talking to people and if you do the wrong things on calls like this, you could blow the entire sign up.

YES! You can say the wrong thing to the right person.

How do I know?

Because I've been called by some of these people who just want to blab about how great their product or company is, how awesome their compensation plan is or how cool their system is.

What these people forgot about is what I want. Instead they just focused on what they want.

Bad move.

So, you must understand people if you are ever going to become a great leader, what they want, how to speak with them and the place you must come from in order to make yourself even more attractive.

Because the more you understand people, the less prospecting you are going to have to do.

It's more like having casual conversations with your own customers, who want more of what you have to offer.

Because the conversation will flow easily, it's just natural that your prospect wants to take the next step with you.

Yes, it can be as simple as that and it is!

Boxing & Success in the Marketplace

Just 48 hours ago, this past Saturday Night in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny "Pacman" Pacquio squared off in what was to be the best prize fight of the year.

Now if you know boxing, Oscar De La Hoya has been one of the biggest money earners in boxing history.

Manny Pacquio, although not as successful financially is the best pound for pound fighter in the World.

For the past 12 weeks before their historic fight, both of them spent 10 hours per day, training, studying tapes of each other and preparing for their battle.

Not shockingly, Manny Pacquio beat Oscar De La Hoya to a pulp, forcing the Champion not to come out to fight after the 8th round.

Truly, the fight was one sided, Pacquio beating De La Hoya to the punch every time and making De La Hoya's face look like a catcher's mit.

Moral of the story is this:

While boxing fans watched these two men prepare for what was to become a slugfest in the ring, what most people didn't see was between the lines.

While De La Hoya glamoured it up for the public and the media allowing them into his training camp and personal life, Pacquio stayed more focused on the fight itself, trained much harder and blocked out as many distractions as possible.

Sure, De La Hoya made a bunch of money because of all his publicity, but Manny won the fight because when training for the biggest fight of his life, he did what works.

Conclusion here: Looking good does not = success.

Doing what works is the only way to ensure the outcome you are looking for.

Just because someone likes the look or the appearance when it comes to marketing, what the real marketer is concerned with is not how it "looks", but how it "works".

Is it effective?

Is it persuassive?

Does it create an emotion that makes the prospect want to act...or is it just "entertaining"?

The purpose of your marketing is not to look good, but to give people what they really want, which is solutions to their problems, strategies that work in today's marketplace and cutting edge training that teaches them how to market, not just "pitch" or "prospect".

This is what makes the difference in success and failure.

Marketing is everything in today's economy.

Yes, it's important to offer great value in your service or product, but its the marketing that is going to move it into the marketplace.

If your marketing is not good, even with the best product in the world, it will not move nearly as much.

So be smart about your Marketing and who you are learning from.

For the best marketing training, start at the beginning.

It all begins with understanding your position in the marketplace - how others view you.

Then, it moves into the attration marketing principle - who will seek you out and find you.

Then, it moves into value and servant leadership.

Then, funded proposals and self liquidating offers.

Then, it moves into voluntary enrollment, sponsorship and then success.

This is the flow that the top marketers online are creating today.

This is the way of doing business in today's marketplace if you want to be like Manny Pacquio, a clear cut winner.

Funded Proposal Makes $7K in a Month

Ever since Sophia & I began building our Business just six months ago, we knew that the success of the System relied very heavily on a Funded Proposal Product.

If you are not familiar with a Funded Proposal, it is an offer for an inexpensive yet very valueable product or service, that people order, before they even consider buying your Primary Product.

A good Funded Proposal provides very powerful information that delivers an immediate solution to a challenge or problem that you are facing, and is worth way more than it's actual cost.


With our Marketing System, when someone new buys the Funded Proposal Product, you get paid a commission at the end of the month.

In our 5th month using the EXACT strategies
that our System taught us we earned $7,050.25,
just from the Funded Proposal Products built into it.


This income was generated even before any commissions were earned from our Parent Company, which alone totaled over $40K in our 5th month!

You can use this Funded Proposal income to pay off your bills, get out of debt, whatever you like!
Here is what our 5th Month Funded Proposal Check was.

Click on Image to Enlarge. (click back to return to this page)

With this Incredibly High Converting Funded Proposal Marketing System, you will earn income whether people join your business or not - without Cold Calling, Making Your List of Family and Friends or Hosting Home Parties or Hotel Events!


After learning this Information, we went from earning only $4,100 per month in an old school traditional mlm company to earning $7050.25 in Funded Proposal Income And over $40,000 from our Parent Company, in only our 5th Month with this Business!

Consider this when choosing who to work with...

I got a call today from a disillusioned member of my organization who apparently thought that by joining my marketing team, that just by association alone, that she would automatically become successful in her own enterprise.

After listening to her share some of her concerns about how nobody was doing anything to build her business for her, I had to explain some things:

Here's what I told her:

"Mary (not her real name), I work with people who:

A) Call me
B) Show Up
C) Take Action

Let me explain.

A - I work with those who stay in contact with me regularly.

Based on how often I hear from them, when they call, I might take their call LIVE, or let it go to voicemail, based on their history of calls to me, their purpose of calling and whether or not I am busy at the time.

Oftentimes, if I'm available, I will answer the phone simply to find out what they want.

I do my best to answer very quickly or set an appointment for them to call me back at a designated time that will work for both of us.

You see, I prioritize my time based on how long it will require for me to assist them.

Most of the time, I simply refer them to whichever resource will answer their question or show them how to do something that they are looking to accomplish.

Just like a good attorney who doesn't know all the laws - just where to find them, neither do you have to know every answer to people's questions - just where to direct them to find them on their own.

Remember, if you are a problem solver for everyone, you breed co-dependency into your organization and will never have a team of leaders - only followers.

B - I work with those who regularly show up.

This means that they show up on conference calls, webinars and at events. It could be a local event they attend or a large International Convention.

Those who show up, grow up. And so I do not baby those who come up with multiple excuses about why they can't attend, because I know that its never that they "can't"; it's that they just "won't".

Remember, people can either make excuses or money, but never both.

C - I work with people who take action.

This action could be bringing on new customers or distributors or consultants, but here is what working with people who take action really means:

They take action without having to consult you every time they do!

They just do it. And sometimes they are successful and sometimes not.

But these are people who know that the fortune is in the action that they take every day. Even if it doesn't look like they are winning on the outside, they know that they are winning on the inside and that soon enough, the results of their effort will show.

These are people who are not afraid to fail or make a mistake and who are willing to be bad before they become good.

This person must have a healthy enough self esteem to take some punches and get knocked down a time or two, in order to learn what doesn't work, and then do what does.

So, to wrap up this post, these are the things I consider when choosing who to work with.

Who do you like to work with?
