Personal Development Mobile App and Opportunity from iLA

January 4th, 2013

iLA - The Inspired Living ApplicationOccasionally I find opportunities that are almost completely hands off, very inexpensive, but can turn out to be real profitable over time…so ACT FAST if you want in on this one. It’s a personal development mobile app and income opportunity from iLA, Inspired Living App.

My primary business is with the Empower Network and is my main focus. But if you’ve ever wanted to throw $10 bucks a month and something just to see what happens, this is it! A La Carte style! It’s a way to invest in a great idea from the beginning and profit from it later. And from what I’ve seen, the app should be pretty great.

The Value of Business Networking

November 1st, 2012

Business NetworkingAlong side my home based business, I also offer webmaster services such as SEO, wordpress website design and website maintenance and editing. Some say that the secret to success in business is to find a need and then fill that need. Thus, people need money and time freedom, and they also need someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to designing, marketing and editing websites. I know that I’m filling a need and it’s been profitable for me and those I work with.

The other day, I was contacted by someone who does something similar online, she designs and promotes Facebook pages for her clients. She occasionally runs across clients that also need a service that she knows very little about, SEO. She contacted me because she wants to fulfill all the needs of her customers, when it comes to the internet. I, on the other hand, don’t really design Facebook pages and could use here skills in that area as well.

Prospecting is a Waste of Time

October 8th, 2012

Prospecting is a Waste of TimeI can’t tell you how relieved I am right now. Beginning in 2005, I started my career online as a Network Marketer and joined one of the fastest growing top tier direct sales companies. My wife and I spent hours and hours during the day, evening and sometimes at night, prospecting. We attended trainings, purchased audio courses and even spent hours and hours prospecting each other, for practice.

Little did I know that prospecting is a waste of time!

Yes, I said it. Prospecting is a waste of time for anyone looking to create real leverage in their business. Think about it. What is real leverage? Leverage in business is and has always been about time and cash flow. The more money you can make in the least amount of time is true leverage.

I know, that if a prospecting call takes ten to twenty minutes to complete, if I worked ten hours straight, that will only allow me to take around forty calls a day. Even with the highest priced product and best paying commission in the world, I would still only be able to make forty calls in a day, without eating anything!

Are You Sick and Tired Enough?

September 23rd, 2012

Sick and Tired One of the reasons I joined the Network Marketing industry was because my wife asked me to. That’s the truth. But that was just one of the reasons. And to be completely honest with you, I had no intention on getting into Network Marketing before that point.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Join  the club!” Right?

My Mother had been part of almost every cosmetic or health drink business there was, yet, I didn’t grow up with the lifestyle most people get into this industry to live. Mainly because I think my Mom joined those opportunities simply because she loved the product and wanted to try it out. That, and she really has a strong desire to help others.

But like I said, she didn’t make any REAL money from her efforts.

What are Income Producing Activites?

September 7th, 2012

Income Producing ActivitiesIf you’re someone who has ever been involved with network marketing, you’ve probably heard someone on a training call tell you about “income producing activities.” And along with that, they gave you the understanding that if you didn’t focus primarily on doing those activities, over everything else, then your business would fail miserably.

Absolutely true! As entrepreneurs, we want to keep ourselves busily engaged in activities that will grow our business. In doing so, it’s imperative that we’re conscious of which activities are actually helping our business progress instead of restricting it.

Now you might be saying, “What in the heck are you talking about Dave? That makes no sense at all!” I would tell you that you might be right, BUT, I can explain myself a bit here. So bear with me.

Network Marketing – The 400 Meter Dash of Success and Failure

May 1st, 2012

I created this little infographic to describe the success cycle of the average home based business owner. I used a track as the backdrop for my analogy, “The 400 Meter Dash of Success and Failure.” In Network Marketing, this is as plain as it gets and the new person doesn’t understand how it works. Success in your business is just a matter of consistent effort over a period of time. If you desire to succeed is there, just finish the entire lap and things will get a lot easier.
