Network Marketing Leadership- Controlling Your Negative Emotions in Network Marketing

MLM Training- The New MLM Distributors Emotional Roller Coaster in Network Marketing.


Every new Network Marketing distributor goes through it. You will too.


Every millionaire in MLM went through it. You will too.


So will you if you haven’t already. We call it the MLM Emotional Roller Coaster, and it can be an interesting ride during the frustrating times in this MLM business.


You will be high as a kite on excitement on week, and then next week low as whale dung. All because of your emotions and disappointments.


INFERNO Secret:


You will be disappointed by what you think is going to happen, but doesn’t, and it is part of this Network Marketing business.


A lot of folks cannot handle the Emotional Dynamics of this business, and your emotions can really be tested, but it is not innate to MLM, it is innate to being an entrepeneur and starting any business.


You must learn to let the downs be not so down, and the highs be not so high. This will give you an Emotional balance which will make your new enterprise more stable in your working it.


The M.O.N.E.Y Principle of MLM Success.


There is a Principle I have been training on for years, and helped a lot of our distributors, as well as myself to get through some rough times.


I call it The M.O.N.E.Y. Principle of Success in Network Marketing, and it is one that you can take to the bank.


What is the SECRET for Networkers to create a LOT of MONEY in MLM?


M.O.N.E.Y. stands for:


Management Of Negative Emotions-Yours.


DID YOU GET THAT?


Management Of NEGATIVE EMOTIONS-YOURS! In Network Marketing!


It’s all about managing what is trying to manage you! It is all about contolling what is trying to control you. It is about directing what is trying to direct you and your business.


And understand this:


INFERNO Secret:


Whoever is controlling your emotions -- will control your business.


ARE YOU LISTENING?


WHOEVER is CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS, CONTROLS YOU and your MLM business!


YOU ARE YOUR BUSINESS!!


Setbacks in MLM will happen and it will create major disappointment and discouragement, and you MUST not let it affect you long term. Sure, you will get down a little as you are human. That is all part of the business, but you always must bounce back. Every setback becomes a comeback.


The Setback Solution in MLM.


INFERNO Secret:


There is no disappointment so strong that 3 new Network Marketing Distributor sign ups cannot handle.


I had a Network Marketing millionaire tell me last year that she was so discouraged her first 2 years that she nearly quit 3 times, but she hung on to the dream, and learned a VERY VALUABLE Secret:


INFERNO Secret:


ALL Negative emotions are TEMPORARY, and they will subside.


Once she learned that, she knew that she was In a Mood and that would pass eventually and she would go to work harder than ever.


There are exceptions of course, but very few. Most new MLM distributors do go through a myriad of emotions the first year, and most never learn to control them. You must decide that what emotions would keep you down for 3 hours, will keep you down for 3 minutes. What used to keep you down for a week, will keep you down for a day. What used to keep you down for a month, only keeps you down for a week or less. Focus on becoming emotionally quick. Every emotion that is negative quickly disappears from your life, and is replaced with a positive one.


OK.


How do you control your lows that will come in this business?


1) Talk to Your Upline about how they handled it.


2) Read MLM books and continue to learn new ideas and concepts.


3) Ask What is worth learning from this?


4) Know that WHO is SUPPOSED to be in your business will be.


5) Know WHO is NOT supposed to be, will not be.


6) Let yourself grieve for a bit if you need to do that. Call someone who has been there and get some understanding from experience.


7) Get back to work asap. MASSIVELY to replace the one who --got away.


8) Continue to pour into your mind stories of those who have succeeded, and the tactics, strategies, and beliefs that developed that Success.


Yep.


You have to control your emotions in Network Marketing, because they will determine about 80% of your first initial success, then they will determine about 80% of the rest of your success when you start your Network Marketing and MLM career.

Network Marketing Leadership- The Top 17 MLM Ezines

MLM Training Newsletters- The Top 17 Network Marketing Newsletters in MLM
MLM Articles

Doug Firebaugh

After a years worth of research, here are the top 17 MLM Newsletters for training in MLM! Read on to learn more!

A good MLM training newsletter is worth a million dollars to a distributor in Network Marketing. Many Network Marketing newsletters/ezines can be found out there, and there are some really good ones. But there are also some newsletters that are not so good.

What do you do? Subscribe to them all and read them for a year, and then decide yourself? (You’ve got to be kidding!)

You don’t have to. We have already done that. We subscribed to over 100 MLM training ezines, (whew!) and found some really good ones, and others that are ones we cannot recommend. (There were 14 total people that read the newsletters regularly, and the top 17 list is the consensus of the 14 people.)

What were the criteria that we used to look at these network marketing newsletters?

1) Constant fresh and unique training content.

We looked for a consistency in content, and fresh content. Many newsletters we found ran some of the same articles in their ezine. Others changed the titles, and kept the content the same.

We simply asked this question: Is the content unique and fresh and trains folks, not just motivates them. Many ezines were a lot of motivation, but little training. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you are looking for a training newsletter, it can be a little frustrating. What we found is that many were highly motivational, but not educational. We support motivation by all means! But we could not include them in our top 17 MLM training ezine list.

2) Delivery of the newsletter regularly.


We found that many ezines were emailed out every once so often, and not on any kind of a schedule. We felt that if you are going to be depending on a training letter as a way to learn this business, then you need to know that the delivery of content will be consistent, and dependable.

Either once a week, or twice a month was the average delivery time of the most read newsletters, and that seems to be what people are looking for.

3) Topics focused on for what the distributor needs to learn to succeed.

The best newsletters we found had a focus of topics that would be what the average networker would need to know to create a successful business. These topics include recruiting, prospecting, approaching people, handling objections, doing presentations, following up, closing, training, building a downline, motivating your group, leadership, personal development, doing events, new distributor training, and advanced training in MLM and Network Marketing.

Many of the newsletters were too focused on one or two topics, and never varied for a more complete training program. There is nothing wrong with that, but a total training focus is what we were looking for.

4) The Look and Feel of the MLM training newsletter.

Many of the newsletters were only text, no graphics, but had great content. Many of the newsletters looked incredible, but their content was very weak. We found that the best training MLM newsletters had both. Even the text ezines were well put together, and had great content. A great example of that is Tom Big Al Schreiter’s Fortune Now Newsletter. It contains great stuff and it’s all text.

The feel of the training ezine was also important. Did they come across like authority writing? Was the feel of it directing, leading, and teaching people? Was the feel of the newsletter friendly and warm, or cold? This was another factor that was part of the over all consideration.

5) Did the newsletter want you to tell others about it?

This was a real big consideration. We talked to some folks that had subscribed to many of them, and they all basically said the same thing: The newsletters that they were talking about were the same ones.

This was important, as the content needs to be exciting, and strong enough for people to want to tell their team about it.

These were the 5 Most Important considerations of the Top 17 MLM Training Newsletters. There were other considerations as well, like popularity on search engines, ease of subscribing, reprints on sites, etc.

Network Marketing Leadership - The 3 MLM Landmines for Network Marketing Success

MLM Training- The Three Land Mines of MLM Success
by Doug Firebaugh


There are many things that can take you out of Network Marketing, and MLM. I call them "MLM Land Mines." These are things that can sneak up on you, and blow you right out of the water, and totally out of Success. If you understand these three things, you will find that Success will be much easier to obtain, and your Network Marketing business will be able to stay on track.

What is a Land Mine?

It is something that is used in a battle, that is buried underneath the ground, and when someone steps on it, it blows up. It is the same principle with MLM. You are in a battle yourself. It is a battle between Success and Mediocrity, and the battlefield is your thinking. It can be a fierce battle as Success intimidates a lot of people, and many times your friends will not want you to walk that Success Path in network marketing.

The three MLM Land Mines are easy to spot, if you know where they are, and what they look like.

So...what are they?

1) The Land Mine of Listening to the WRONG PEOPLE.

Many times, we can be really on a roll, and having Success in MLM, and when something goes wrong, then the people start talking. The Negative Crowd shows up, and starts telling you that they were right,and you are going to fail. They tell you that you are stupid for wanting more in life, and you should be happy where you are.

What Success do they have in their life that gives them the right to try and steal yours?

If you are not careful, their words will blow up your dreams, and you will end up discouraged and wanting to quit. NEVER listen to the Wrong People.

Who are the Wrong People? Negative, limiting, and never going anywhere folks who want everybody else to go nowhere. God bless them, but they are not focused on making a life, but simply living a life.

Beware of that Land Mine.

2) Doubting what your Dreams are telling you.

This MLM land Mine is a big one. Your dreams can tell you that you are on your way, and Success in Network Marketing is right around the corner, and then you start falling back in that rut of Doubt and Hesistation.

STOP RIGHT THERE!

Don't take another step towards that MLM Land Mine. Evrything you need to Succeed in MLM you already have in your heart. Just put your business on "Automatic Dream Pilot" and let your dreams steer you around these Land Mines, and around what your thinking is telling you.

You WILL SUCCEED, if you simply let your Dreams pilot your Success Vehicle.

3) Thinking that you will give this business a certain amount of time, and if it has not happened by then, then it is not going to happen.

This Land Mine is one that has taken millions out of this business. And it is NOT the way you work Network Marketing.

You work MLM on IT's TERMS, not yours. You must give MLM the time that is needed to grow YOU first, then grow the business. A tree does not grow in 6 months, and an MLM business will not grow in 6 days. You must give it time, and the time that is required to Succeed.

The timing factor is different for everyone and where it may take one person 3 months to ignite a SuccessFire in their business, it may take you a year. Give to your business TOTAL committment, and and TOTAl decision to go the distance. And you will find that your Success path has been cut down considerably, as people respond totally different to a person that has an I will not be denied focus, and whatever it takes mind set.

Beware of these MLM Land Mines, and make sure that you steer clear of them. You don't want them to take you out of the Success game, and out of the MLM Wealth Machine that is possible for your life and future.

You are a Winner, and this battle is easy to win. Just be careful of what lies underneath your Success Path.
