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.

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.

Truer Words Never Spoken

I am breaking radio silence.

Letting the cat out of the bag.

Spilling the proverbial "beans".

I received this email from a mentor of mine almost 7 years ago when I first got online.

I filed it - too busy pitching my business and peddling my vitamins.

Ignoring it cost me MILLIONS.

Today, it's changed my business and my income.

It's never been more appropriate than right now.

The message is clear.

The verbage is a little out-dated.

There are new trends to live and die by.

In my 2nd month truly applying the concept, I earned a cool EXTRA $5,489.

On top of my Primary MLM Income, on Top of my Affiliate Income, on Top of my Consultant / Coaching Income.

Think about this.

Don't say I didn't share this with you.

Don't say I didn't give you a heads up.

Joe wrote:

"There's almost a conspiracy in MLM.

Because while the mega-earners rake in money that would make most white collar ceo's blush over, really, it's money that is made UNDER THE TABLE.

And your MLM company is NOT teaching you what I am about to let you in on.

It's almost a conspiracy.

BANK on THIS:

What you are about to unravel here is not spoken about at your MLM companies rallies.

Here it is.

Some call it making money when everyone says "no".

Some call it a back-end income and multiple streams of income.

I call it UNDER THE TABLE almost invisible money.

Here's the bottom line.

How I OUT-FOXED an entire industry is relatively simple.

1)I learned to make money BEFORE my downline showed up.
2)I learned to DO MLM for FREE ala making MONEY #1 priority.

HINT: if you do not learn how to do MLM and like quick, MLM will continue to do you!
(as it already is doing TO YOU right now)

Real life reality check 101, given to me by my wife.

"MAKE MONEY JOE!"

Learn this and you will 100% for sure be in a whole different MLM world.

Here it is and please, I beg you, do not be put off by how deceptively obvious this is.

THE IDEA:

IN ORDER to fund yourself or to stay in the game is to be able to USE OTHER people's money while you spend ooddles of time and money advertising.

Your phone bill goes up.

MLM products cost $100 to $300 per month.

You place ads and start buying all sorts of books and tapes.

I repeat, YOU BETTER START MAKING MONEY!

TIP #2 - Before your $2,000 per month MLM checks start adding up, learn to make MONEY when people say "NO" to your OPP.

FORGET about lighting candles and praying to your GURU rich uplines and chanting about your company's products.

PRODUCTS are not the answer.

BRANDING your site and company is not the answer.

BUYING the latest Ebook is certainly not the answer.

The answer (for me anyway) is to BE THE LAST GUY STANDING.

The answer is to learn how to GET GOBS and reams of NEW fresh blood into your MLM.

The answer is to MAKE IT here in 2008 and still be making $10,000 to $50,000 per month in 2022.

10-20 years from now.

The key is to be of the few who are STILL SOLVENT and STILL being paid intense money in 10-20 years.

BRANDING won't do it.

HYPING products? How eighties.

SELLING umpteen different Ebooks isn't it.

The key for you to OUT FOX an industry where only A smidgen make a F/T income is to:

1)START MAKING $100 to $300 per week, like NOW!
2)TURNING people who reject your main MLM into CASH

Okay, how.

Here is the mechanics, or syntax:

I sell leads through a LEAD MLM to everyone who steps within 500 yards of me, do you?

I have sold MLM picks and shovels (MLM tapes) for years.

THIS little idea is about making legitimate and significant money WHEN suspects say NO to your main MLM.

EASY?

Well, if it was, you'd already be earning $1,000 a month JUST as a re-seller for a cool affiliate deal and with having a primo 'lil LEAD MLM to back-door people."

END JOE

Your next step is to learn how to do what Joe here is talking about.

Make money whether they join or not.

Make money before they join.

Make money when they join.

Make money after they join.

It keeps rolling in...

It's as simple as pie.

It works like a charm.

$5,489 later, it works!

See for yourself how powerful this is.

Have people pay YOU to talk to them.

Earn on every lead, every prospect.

Put money into your bank account.

Here's how I learned the best way to do it.

Until my next post...

Successful Networkers Already Know This...

Sophia & I took our family to the Ringling Brothers Circus this past Friday Night.

Even after all these years, it's still the Greatest Show on Earth!

One of the acts, the Tiger Tamer should be of particular interest to you.

The act reminded me of a story I once heard about how to get through tough times.

Pay close attention because this one philosophy will help you become a huge success.

It goes like this:

Years ago the circus used to take place under the big top, long before the indoor colliseums and arenas they are held in these days.

One particular night during the most exciting act, the Tiger Tamer, the lights went out.

It was pitch black.

Thousands of people could have gone into an absolute frenzy, except that the Tiger Tamer's voice came on the moment the big top went dark.

In a very gentle tone, he spoke, "Nobody make a move. Everybody stay seated."

The audience sat silent in the pitch black darkness.

A few seconds later, "WhaaaChhhhhhhh" again went the crack of his whip.

Then he spoke again, "Everyone stay calm. Please remain in your seats, WhaaaChhhhhh" his whip went again.

DEAD SILENCE AGAIN...

Seconds later, again, the crack of his whip, "WHAAACHHHHHH"!

Then, the lights came back on and he continued to finsish his act with the Tigers.

Completely astonished about what took place, a reporter knocked on the Tiger Tamer's dressing room door after the show.

He was to write an article about the show that night and had to find out how in the world the Tiger Tamer kept everything under control.

The Tiger Tamer told the reporter:

"When the lights went out tonight, I knew I had to take control of the situation.

You see, I knew a couple of things that nobody else knows.

#1 - Those 800 lb Bengal Tigers, although nobody could see them, they could see every single eyelash on every single person in the audience.

#2 - If they noticed anyone acting strangely or making a sudden move, they would viciously attack whoever it was and they would have been mauled.

So, to make sure that nothing happened, I did in the dark exactly, what I do in the light."

And this my friend is exactly how you get through any tough times in your life.

While everyone else is probably worried and filled with fear about the state of our economy, you do not have to let our nation's economy dictate what happens to you personally.

You know, even in tough financial times, there are people who still earn a 6 & 7 Figure Income in Home Based Business.

Why you ask?

Because those who are willing to help the most people solve the biggest problems, profit the most.

And right now, with millions of people looking online to make money working from home to either supplement their income, or even replace it and work full time from home, by positioning yourself in front of these people, as the leader they are looking to follow, you can't help but start making a ton of money.

But you must learn to get people to come to you.

Because who finds who is a critical part of the equation.

If they find you, you maintain your leadership position and are considered the expert.

This is how you can sign up 5, 10, 20 or more new people every month.

I see many of my business partners doing this already.

To learn more about why this is so critical and exactly how to do it , skip on over to this letter that I think will make a huge impact on your success.

Take Me to the Letter Now

The Need for Speed...

Over the years, one of the biggest factors I noticed that separates successful people from everybody else, is that after coming up with a great idea to start a new business or simply move their existing business forward, they take immediate action.

While most people never do a single thing when they have brilliant idea, successful people employ what is called speed of implementation.

This means as soon as the idea comes in, they get moving on it right away and start making progress.

They don't have to have all the answers or know exactly how they are going to get to the 2nd step or beyond.

They just jump first and build their wings on the way down.

In other words, they don't have to get it right - just get it going.

Critical to any entrepreneurs success , is not having to be perfect to produce.

Because the need for perfection usually leads to procrastination.

This is called Negative Perfection.

Positive Perfection is the entrepreneur who takes the risk, makes the move, gets it going, and then...adjusts along the way to make sure she is pointing more in the right direction.

It's like a plane that takes off from New York en route to Los Angeles.

It may start out going South, but eventually makes that turn West.

And all along the way, the pilot makes small incremental adjustments to keep the plane on course.

So no matter what you've been putting off today, get it started.

Begin that new project that you know will move your business forward.

Take the first step.

Pick up the phone and start calling your leads & prospects.

Start your online campaign.

Start branding yourself.

Make that first video.

Write your first article.

Upload your first blog.

Send out that first press release.

Learn that one new skill that if you knew, your business would flourish.

One step closer to freedom.

Don't put it off another day.

One at a time, knock out that idea.

Move down your list.

Your freedom is waiting...

Speed of Implementation.

It's how you must operate in free enterprise to make it.

Until my next post,

Aaron

To Meet or Not to Meet? That is the Question...

I received a question today from Betsy, a distributor in my organization.

Here was her question:

"I'm having trouble with my business. I just can't seem to get anyone signed up no matter what I do. I've been in the company since February.

I went to a local training in my area about a month ago and found out that there are others in my city who are also having the same problem.

We agreed to meet every week to talk about what we are doing and how we can get people to sign up.

What do you suggest I bring to our next meeting so that I can help everyone become more successful?"

Well Betsy, first, thanks for your question.

The fact that you asked shows me that you:

A) Truly care about others
B) Truly care about becoming more successful yourself

Interestingly enough, these 2 components are part of the equation in the bigger picture of your long term success.

Now don't take this the wrong way, but the first thing I'd recommend is that you dismantle your local group immediately!

Because that mastermind, although created with great intentions, is causing each of you to hold the others down.

Each will do whatever they can to "hold on" to the other, so that they don't have to start swimming themselves.

Another way to put this, is that "misery" loves company.

So, instead of sitting around with a bunch of non-producers, start surrounding yourself with the leaders, not the followers.

Remember, water seeks its own level, but you want to do the opposite.

Start investing your time with the leaders and the producers.

Start watching, observing and paying much more attention to every detail about them.

Look, watch & listen to what and how they do what they do.

This can be done locally, or even over the phone.

If you live locally, offer to assist them by doing minor tasks for them.

Volunteer to assist them at events or with anything they might need to run their business.

This is called an "apprenticeship" and as far as I know, just about every successful leader I know, was mentored by someone more successful than them.

Don't forget that Your income, influence and potential are in direct proportion of the income, influence & potential of the five people whom you invest most of your time listening to and communicating with.

If you don't feel comfortable working directly with a leader, invest in their cds or books until you develop the confidence to approach and then mentor with them.

I did this with a number of my first mentors.

I bought every audio set they producedand eventually after listening to them so many times, I began speaking and even thinking like them.

That way, when we finally met for the first time, I felt more like them and projected the confidence to be in their presence.

Each of my mentors could sense that I was hungry for success because I was in "rappoire" with them.

So, they took me under their wing and taught me how to make money fast, sometimes, when I wasn't even in their downline.

So Betsy, cancel your meeting.

Break up the group.

Forward this message on to everyone in it.

Make sure each of you attach to a successful mentor, but not each other.

It's ok to keep in touch and maintain your relationships, but do not consult each other if none of you is making any money yet.

There is nothing worse than the blind leading the blind, each attempting to consult each other on something they know nothing about.

Save yourself first, then go back and save the rest of the world.

If not, all of you could be a part of one ugly scenario.

Remember, the best way to save a drowning person is to not be one of them.

Find a mentor or mentors today and learn everything you possibly can from them.

It's the best and fastest way to make it long term in your business.

Until my next post,

Aaron

The Message that Truly Changed My Life!

About 5 years ago, when I was broke, busted and disgusted, I was turned on to a very successful Network Marketer who truly helped me turn the corner from struggling in our industry, to becoming financially independent in just a few short years.

You may or may not have heard of him, but I'll be the first to admit that this gentleman's philosophy on how to build the biggest MLM business in the shortest amount of time is one of the best I've ever heard or applied to my own business.

Matter of fact, using his philosophy, I exploded my own business back in 2004 to 400 new distributors in just 90 days.


It all started when a friend of mine told me about him and suggested I subscribe to his FREE Newsletter.

About the 2nd or 3rd letter into his marketing series, I decided to take him up on his offer and began following his every word to the "T".

Here is the email that I originally received from him, that kicked it all off:

Dear Network Marketer,

During my first four and a half years in network marketing I made very little money – only about $200 a month.

Like most network marketers, I spent more money on my business than I made.

After four and a half years of failing, I got lucky and was told the “secret” of network marketing success by an industry “heavy hitter” who had been featured in Success Magazine and other business publications.

Here’s what he told me:

“Get a genealogy report and recruit the network marketers that are on it. They’ve already been sold on network marketing, they understand network marketing, and more often than not they know other network marketers they can quickly recruit. This is the ‘secret’ of the industry’s top earners. Virtually all of them, including me, built their large downlines this way.”

I did exactly what he told me and in five months I was earning over $15,000 a month.

In just two years I had 12,864 people in my downline and was the company’s #1 earner.

Then when that company shut down, I joined another company and did it all over again! It was amazing!

I’ve since retired from downline building to do what I’ve always wanted – writing from my home. It’s a wonderful lifestyle, made possible because I recruited from network marketing genealogy reports.

But network marketing genealogy reports are hard to find, and I frequently get calls from distributors who ask where they can find a good genealogy. They say to me, “I’ve found lots of opportunity seeker lists, but not a new genealogy report. Can you help me?”

Well, this was the end of his message, but the beginning of the turning point in my MLM career.

To get more info and learn exactly what I'm speaking about, visit the Ultimate Success Website.

Subscribe to this gentleman's Power Recruiting Newsletter and see for yourself how this one single philosophy has allowed Top Income Earners all over the Industry to actually get there.

By following his lead, I have seen greater growth in the legs of my business than any other I've built over the past four years.

Go here right away and see for yourself what I'm talking about. It could mean the difference for you between success and failure.

http://www.mlmleadperfect.com/

Here is my suggested script for calling MLM Genealogy Leads:

Hey (NAME), how's it going?

"(NAME), this is (YOUR NAME) calling you from (CITY, STATE).
(NAME), the reason I'm calling is that I understand you were involved or are still involved in Network Marketing.

Don't worry - I didn't call to give you a long winded sales pitch or waste your time. I just called to ask you one quick question and that question is:

Are you open to looking at a new way of making money from home with a proven online markteing system?

If they say yes or are clearly receptive, ask for their email address and tell them you will send them an email with a link to your marketing website.

If they say no, thank them for their time and hang up.

If they start talking about their businesses, ask them what company are they with?

No matter what they say, (keep them from talking your ear off) tell them, "that's a great company, you're gonna do well and then ask them if they are using a Funded Proposal System, like the one over at http://www.mlmleadsandcash.com/

If they are not currently using a Funded Proposal System, you can send them a link to yours or give them your address.

And that's it!

What Level Leader are You?

There's an old adage that has circulated the Network Marketing Industry for many years,that says, "Either lead, follow, or get out of the way."

The truth is, every top leader & income earner is a great follower.

They were not born this way, but became this way, through a process of their own Personal Growth & Development over time.

This process entails following the teachings, the advice and mentorship of other great leaders who have already come before them.

Bottom line, every top income earner in our industry has made the decision to step up to the next level of leadership, no matter where they got started, to attract the next breed of upcoming leaders & followers in thier own organization.

Take a look at yourself and where you are in your business right now.

What level of Leadership are you at?

Are you a Leader Follower, a Leader's Leader or a Leader Grower?

A Leader Follower is someone who is just getting started on their way to the top.

They may be either brand new to Networking, brand new to their Company, or perhaps even new to Entrepreneurship.

Everyone starts at this level, with their enthusiasm real high and their knowledge real low.

There is nothing wrong with being at this level, however, you do not want to stay here for very long.

You must continually forge ahead, learning new skills every day, by reading books, listening to tapes & cd's, mentoring with & modeling others, attending events, and by taking consistent daily action.

The best action to be taking daily, is to be prospecting & doing 3-Way Calls withyour Upline.

Leader Followers often look toward their Upline for advice, feedback and even inspiration.

There is nothing wrong with being a Leader Follower, however nobody should want to stay here for too long.

Eventually, a Leader Follower will want to break free from the nest and try their own wings out.

Good mentors will even give them a little push from time to time.

Remember, you enrolled to become an Independant Distributor, not a Dependant Distributor.

You must reach the next level of Leadership, for your business to really take off.

More experienced Leader Followers feel that they don't have to "check in", as often with their Leaders, as they are out in the marketplace, gaining "Activity Knoweldge".

They will prospect for long hours, bring 3-Way Calls, attend events on their own and really learn to stand on their own two feet.

They still follow their Leader and use the System that has been provided for them, but they are now moving right along, learning to get to the next level of Leadership.

Many times, Leader Followers will survive this phase of Leadership on the borrowed strength of their Leader, until they develop their own strength to carry them.

The sooner you move from this phase of Leadership, to the next phase, the sooner your business will move to the next level as well.

Remember, your Business will only grow as much as you do.

The next level of Leadership, is called a Leader's Leader.

A Leader's Leader, is someone who has been through the Leader Follower phase and has now made the decision to take their business to a whole new level, by attracting other Leader Followers.

In this 2nd phase of Leadership, you'll already have the experience of being a Leader Follower, plus, you will learn a whole NEW set of skills.

First and foremost, you will realize that your committment is what's left over,when your motivation wears off.

Yes, the day will come at this stage of your growth, or perhaps even sooner, that you want to quit. However, your committment is so strong that you forge ahead anyways and find a way to get past your frustration or even discouragement.

Being a Leader's Leader means that you begin to get out of your head, and into your heart.

This is when you operate from your beliefs and your newly developed confidence.

This is when you really begin attracting others, who are looking for you, just as much as you are looking for them.

The best way to become a Leader's Leader, is to Lead by Example, give more thais expected and to go beyond the call of duty for the benefit of everyone on your team.

Remember, if you are not speaking to Leads, you are not Leading. A Leader's Leader is always looking for other Leaders who may be looking for a new Opportunity.

You will realize that speed of the Leader determines the speed of the pack.

This is also the level of Leadership where you realize that there is still so much to learn, and that by staying coachable and teachable, you will allow yourself to progress to the next level of Leadership.

A Leader's Leader can look in the mirror and realize that they are looking at both the problem and the the solution.

The next Level of Leadership, is called a Leader Grower.

A Leader Grower is someone who has experienced the fist two levels of Leadership, and has come to the next level in their understanding about themselves, others, and ofcourse, their business.

A Leader Grower understands that they don't get paid for time invested but for the value that they bring to the marketplace.

A Leader Grower understands that the more he or she learns the behavioral language and patterns of themselves and others, the more success they are going to experience.

The Leader Grower also understands Time, and how to Protect, Prioritize & Preserve it.

The Leader Grower also knows that he or she doesn't mangage people. They lead people, and mangage situations.

In addition, Leader Growers know that time management is impossible. Time is always moving. Instead, we must learn to manage ourselves, in time.

Leader Growers live by the Laws of Task & Delegation and give others the opportunity to take on their own responsibilities, as opposed to doing everything for everyone, and being everything to everyone.

A wise old sage once said that the best leaders, are those who instead of trying to explain everything to everyone, invite others to simply stand by their side, and see for themselves.

Being a Leader Grower sometimes means being a reflective device for others to see themselves in a new light, with grace, and dignity.

Having the attitude of gratitude, contribution vs. collection, peace & power over force & chaos, is the true essence of leadership development.

John Maxwell, one of the World's Greatest Business Leaders states "True leaders are not those who strive to be first, but who are the first to strive and give their all for the success of their team. True leaders are first to see the need, envision the planand empower the team for action. By the strength of the Leader's committment, the true power of the team is unleashed."
So, once again, just as the subject of this email asks, "What level Leader are you?"

More importantly, which level are you committed to acheiving next?

And when?

Remember, Someday is not a day of the week.
