This Business doesn't Work ... let us explain ...





This Business doesn't work ...


My new distributor was complaining: "This business doesn’t work!!!"


And my new distributor was right. The business doesn’t work.


So I had to tell the new distributor a story. :)


*******************************************

You look for the best car for you, and you purchase the car.


But, you never learn how to drive your car.


You never take driving lessons, you never go out driving with your parents, you never read the owner’s manual. You don’t know about those strange pedals on the floor or where to put the key into the ignition.


The only thing you do is make a few attempts at "trial and error" ... you yell at your car and say,


“Drive! Drive!” And your car doesn’t drive itself.


But, you have a vision board ...


*******************************************

So, you looked for a network marketing business that was a good fit for you.



You purchased the business and joined.



But you never learned how to make your business work.


The only thing you did was make a few attempts at "trial and error" ... you said the wrong words to a few friends and two cold leads.



And your business didn’t build itself. Your business didn’t work.


* You didn’t come to Saturday trainings.
* You didn’t do three-way calls with your sponsor.
* You didn’t listen to any training CDs.
* You didn’t come with your sponsor while your sponsor went prospecting.
* You didn’t learn how to give a "One-Minute Presentation."
* You didn’t learn "SuperClosing" or any other closing.
* You didn’t learn about the "Colors" ... the four different personalities and how to talk to them.
* You didn’t learn any effective "Ice Breakers" or openings.
* You didn’t learn how to get prospects to beg you for presentations.
* You didn’t learn any effective first sentences.
* You didn’t learn how prospects make decisions in their minds.
* You didn’t learn how to get unlimited appointments.
* You didn’t learn how to stop sounding like a sleazy salesman.
* You didn’t learn any of the "sequences of words" to communicate directly with the prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to use the differences between needs and wants.
* You didn’t learn where and how to locate the best prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to create prospects instantly with effective sentences.
* You didn’t learn the sequences of words that the top leaders use.
* You didn’t learn how to open a presentation.
* You didn’t learn how to build instant rapport with anyone.
* You didn’t learn how to use word pictures.
* You didn’t learn how to talk directly to the subconscious mind of the prospect.
* You didn’t learn why prospects tell you "no" when they should be agreeing with you.
* You didn’t learn the first things you must say to cold prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to locate and create leaders.
* You didn’t learn how to motivate people.
* You didn’t learn how to get your prospect’s unconscious mind to work for them.
* You didn’t learn how to use stories to bypass the two mind filters of prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to quickly capture your prospects’ imagination and attention.
* You didn’t learn how to ...


So stop blaming the business.


The business doesn’t work.


You work.



Don’t blame the "stupid" prospects, the weather, the economy, the product pricing, the compensation plan or your sponsor.



If you want to drive the new car you purchased ... learn to drive.



The end. :)

Are You Sharpening Your Skills?

Are You Sharpening Your Skills?



“You can cut down a tree with a hammer, but it takes about 30 days. If you trade the hammer for an ax, you can cut it down in about 30 minutes. The difference between 30 days and 30 minutes is skills.” – Jim Rohn

Leaders are readers and readers are earners. Even distributors who are already very successful still continue to read books, listen to audios, take online training courses and go to seminars and workshops to sharpen their skills. If you would like a full time income in Young Living, you need to think and act like a professional. Professionals are always sharpening their skills. Are you sharpening yours?


In the beginning network marketing can feel a little out of your comfort zone. If you spend a little time every day reading and listening to audios. Your comfort zone will expand. Attend events, seminars and workshops and you will sharpen your skills even more.


One way to sharpen your skills is to hang around people who are successful in the business. Observe what they do. Listen when they speak. Follow them on Facebook and other social media and observe how they connect with people. Pay attention. You can learn a lot from other leaders in Young Living.


Keep up with things that are going on in the company and with anything that affects your business. It’s no different than any other profession like accountants, lawyers, people in the medical profession, hair stylists, etc. You have to keep up with any changes going on. There are always changes. There are new ways to market and promote your business. 15 years ago, when I began building my Young Living business, we did not use social media. Today it is a big part of both business building and training downline. Times change.


Have fun learning, growing and sharpening your network marketing skills.
