Posture has made all the difference…
April 21, 2009
So what’s this posture thing that network marketing trainers and gurus all talk about? Is it the way you stand? The way you sit? Does it mean that you should smile more and talk less, or should you talk more and smile less?
It all seems so confusing, yet I hear about it quite a bit in the Network Marketing Industry.
Posture can most simply be defined for Network Marketing as the way you present yourself either in person or on the phone with a prospect. The thing is, it’s actually a lot deeper than that and what I ever thought posture truly was.
Posture is the ability to control the conversation, maybe you’ve noticed that when you talk to highly successful people they are asking YOU questions and through these questions you end up with an insight that you didn’t know of before. Posture is the strength of your belief in yourself, in your opportunity and in either your product or service. The stronger your belief is in something, the more posture you have and the better chance you will make the sale or get the new business partner.
The thing is, bad posture is actually evident on the phone or in person as well. People can sense the fact that you aren’t being genuine and that you really aren’t the Leader.
You may think “but Chris, I’ve only been involved in my company for 2 months, how in the world am I supposed to have posture with someone?”
The answer to this is actually sitting already inside of you, but you may not be aware of it.
Think about it this way, you have spent 5 years of your life training and learning proper technique for shooting a basketball or sewing a sweater. Picture that someone walks up to you and starts asking you about your shot or your sewing ability and tells you “You’re doing this wrong! You are not doing it the way you’re supposed to”
I bet that you’d stick up for yourself and show a form of posture, wouldn’t ya? I know that I sure would!
We have posture in many things in life, and it takes time to develop all of these things that you hold posture with, doesn’t it? It sure did with everything I’ve learned and am passionate about.
So how does this have anything to do with Network Marketing? Well, picture yourself on the phone with a prospect. The prospect is sort of questioning you about your business and your opportunity. They ask “So how much money are you making with this?” This is one of the most commonly asked questions that I get while talking to prospects.
You know what’s great about this question? It doesn’t have anything to do with how much you make, the only reason they ask is because they are scared, they want you to say “I’m not making anything, or I’m only making $100 a month” because then they can say to themselves that this doesn’t work. Or if you tell them “I’m making $20,000 a month” they probably will feel that they CAN’T do that and it will be counter-productive. The easiest answer for this and the one I always use is “If I told you how much I make, you probably wouldn’t believe me. It’s also not about how much I make, but about how much YOU will make.”
That is just a sample of how I use posture when speaking to my prospects. It’s simple and the great thing about it is that there are ways for you to cut down on your learning curve and you can even begin sponsoring new distributors within your first week of being involved with an opportunity.
The secret to gaining posture in your business is a course that has dramatically changed not only my life, but also my business.

Don’t Ever Quit
March 22, 2009
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
———————————————————————–
This Poem kept me moving in those days where I didn’t want todo anything, and it kept me here, in this industry that I love long enough to find what I was looking for.. I hope that it helps your life as well..((Don’t Quit))
So my message for you is to never, ever, ever quit. If you do, you’ll always regret it.
Holy Crap- Online Video is Growing Rapidly
January 8, 2009
I was just reading an article at CNET about how much Online Video is starting to take over.
Internet users in the U.S. watched 12.7 billion online videos in November, an increase of 34 percent versus a year ago.
Thanks to YouTube, Google Sites retained the crown as the top U.S. video property with nearly 5.1 billion videos viewed–or about 40 percent of all videos viewed online–with the video-sharing site accounting for more than 98 percent of Google’s traffic. Fox Interactive Media was a distant second with 439 million videos watched (or 3.5 percent), followed by Viacom Digital with 325 million videos watched (2.6 percent).
The data also showed that 77 percent of all U.S. Internet users had viewed online videos in 2008, and that the average online video viewer watched 273 minutes of video.
That’s all good news for sites like YouTube and Hulu that are trying to build an online ad market around video. One analyst firm expects the market for video ads to grow 45 percent to $850 million this year.
An eMarketer study released in December forecast more growth in years to come: $1.25 billion in 2010; $1.85 billion in 2011; $3 billion in 2012; and $4.6 billion in 2013.
SO. This got me thinking quite a bit about this.
If there is that many people watching online videos and you are a marketer and AREN’T using online video left, ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!
It just seems like it would be stupid not to be taking advantage of this huge market and to prosper from this huge boom in online videos. It’s so simple. You get a video camera, they are pretty cheap nowadays, you can make a short little video talking about something that you enjoy, maybe a new product or something and in the description, you can put a link to learn more about the product or to make a purchase of the product.
I’ve recently done this a few times with small powerpoints of useful information and then directly linking these videos to an affiliate page. How long did it take me to put up? Total time to research/make powerpoint/add audio to powerpoint: 45 minutes
to date, it’s made me $38.06 in sales. I know that since I’ve already done this work, I can continue to get paid from that 45 minutes of work. So far this means I’ve made almost a dollar per minute of work I’ve done. Sure doesn’t seem like hard work to me.
I plan on doing this over and over again with many other affiliate programs and if you’d like to learn my Simple Success Secrets to Affiliate Commissions Using Online Video, feel free to get ahold of me for a special deal on my video step-by-step e-book.
It’s mainly for the beginner to intermediate marketer who just wants to make an extra $100-$500 a month using simple videos/powerpoints.
Anyway… I feel that you NEED to get excited about online video. It’s something that isn’t going to go away, it probably will only get bigger. So, the choice is yours. I have chosen to ride the wave and make the money of that wave. It’s fun/simple and exciting. Kind of like playing Checkers
Just bought the Iron Gym Upper-Body Pull up bar.
January 6, 2009
I was looking for something portable to take and use in my dorm room…. Something that if I was too lazy to walk to the gym, I could have a good workout in my dorm room.
So, I started looking up information on those doorway pull-up bars.
I have used a few of those pull up bars that attach to a doorway. I even used to have one in my closet when I was a little kid.
And I figure that getting in shape again should be a good idea if I’m to compete competitively in soccer again.
What that meant was that I did some research on a few different pull-up bars and decided to go with the Iron Gym version,
but it was a tough choice in that or the Everlast Multi Function Chinning Bar ![]()
but there was also the Perfect Pull-Up by the same company that made the Perfect Pushup, which I have and love using. If you haven’t seen them, check them out, they work great. The reason I didn’t want the Perfect Pull-up was because it would have to be screwed into the doorway and I didn’t want to need to do that.
But back to what I was saying. The Iron Gym pull up bar. It’s very handy.I can do 3 different types of pull-ups, as well as dips and pushups on it. Not that I need it for pushups…
Check it out, it was only like $30 which is cheaper than Gym Membership and works great!
Watching The Matrix. How do you interpret “real”?
January 4, 2009
so, I’m sitting here at 2:33am on a saturday night/sunday morning…
and on the 50 inch Panasonic HDTV I hear Morpheus say to Neo
“How do you interpret “real”"?
and it really got me thinking, how do we interpret what’s real?
Especially with manifesting your dreams. You do know that your brain can’t define what it sees in the mind and what it sees in reality.
Don’t believe me?Watch “The Secret” or “What the bleep do we know” and “What the bleep down the rabbit hole”
Consciousness is simply a fallout of the complex processes in the brain and has no separate existence of its own. According to D.M. Armstrong, consciousness is a sort of inner perception. He compared it with ‘proprioception’. A case of proprio-ception occurs when with our eyes shut and without touch, we are immediately aware of the angle at which our elbow is bent. However the immediate awareness of a brain state and a process like proprioception are governed by different neural mechanisms.
Consciousness gives us no physical signals or clues about its location in the body. It is not a thing in space and time and therefore not measurable. Here lies the problem of its study by science. Then, if we ask what it means to assert that something exists for which we have no ‘evidence’, we encounter a deep ambiguity between being and being known.
Anyway, just think. What “real” is, is just up to your perception of whats real.

You’re Doing It All Wrong…
July 8, 2008
I had a fair idea that I wasn’t getting the whole “online business/MLM” concept down… I wasn’t yet making a 6 figure income by doing what I was told…
But who really enjoys being told that you are doing it all wrong?!
When I started reading the Magnetic Sponsoring book, I couldn’t believe how stupid I had been. The stuff seemed so obvious that anyone with a half of a brain would be already building their business this way-right?
Well, no! Apparently, once upon a time someone started an MLM business and said “This is the way to do it”, and we have been doing it that way ever since…. Was it the correct way to build a business once? Maybe, I do not know…
But times have changed! And the way we are taught to build “the business” today is the reason that 99% of Network Marketers FAIL.
Have you been out there trying to sell your business to friends, family and your “top 100″ list? Do you wonder why the response hasn’t been as excited as you might be with the opportunity?
Consider this situation from the perspective of the people you are contacting. They are busy people ( aren’t we all in today’s society). They have full lives and lots of bills.
- Do these people lie awake at night dreaming of being Network Marketers?
- Do these people care about how great your business opportunity is?
- Do these people care about your amazing compensation plan?
- Do these people care about the great position they could be joining on your downline?
No, no, no, and no.
We are out there trying to sell businesses to busy people who need more work like an extra hole in the head. But wait you say, we are selling them a way to get more free time and loads of money. And that is the mistake! We shouldn’t be SELLING them our opportunity. Every day we are bombarded with sales pitches.
Have you heard the saying “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”?
“People do not join a business, they join YOU”- Mike Dillard
Of all the things I learned in Magnetic Sponsoring, this would be the one that impacted my business and life the most. I have been on a journey of discovery since reading Magnetic Sponsoring. It has taken me months to fully appreciate the point Mike was driving at with that statement.
When you present your MLM opportunity the thing people are going to react to first is NOT your business, NOT your compensation plan, NOT the position on your downline, NOT even your amazing product. The first reaction is going to be toward YOU.
Why should they listen to you? Why should they believe you? Who are you to be telling them what they need?
If your prospects don’t like you, no matter your business they won’t join. If your prospects don’t trust you they won’t join you. If your prospects don’t believe in you they won’t join.
How do you become a MAGNET that people will want to join?
Firstly, you must become an “above the line” thinker. “Above the line” people accept responsibility. They look for a positive and the opportunities in any situation. “Below the line” people live in a world of denial and blame. Their circumstances are always someone else’s fault. Do NOT be a “below the line” thinker.
Secondly, you must be a person of value. You should have something to offer people, and I don’t mean — a business opportunity. Are you an expert in your field? Have you made a success of your life? If you have expertise and experience that people want, they will come to you. Simple? You bet! Magnetic Sponsoring is not rocket science.
What if you are not an expert? What if you have no great wealth of knowledge and experience that people are knocking on your door to try and get a hold of? Then you should be educating yourself. Mike shows us how he spent $6,410 in one month on educational material. But you don’t have that kind of money right? Then how much more do you need to be investing in your education!
This last year I personally spent over $4,000 on my education. Did I have that much to spare? No, I didn’t.
However, I have made back 3 to 4 times back that as a direct result from what I learned. Will I be spending another $4,000 next year? No. I plan to spend upwards of $10,000- $20,000. Can I afford it? No ( Whoever came up with the credit card needs a medal) But once again, I expect the return on the investment in myself to be exponential.
Mike Dillard gives you a lot more examples of how to be a valuable and highly successful marketer in his book Magnetic Sponsoring, and if you haven’t read it yet, I strongly recommend you begin your educational journey here.
Wishing you a prosperous life,

How Important Is A System in Network Marketing?
June 17, 2008
A Quick tip on Network Marketing and duplication…
If you don’t have duplication on your team, you might as well go get a job selling something else for commissions!
Network Marketing is about HELPING YOURSELF WORK YOUR WAY OUT OF A JOB…
not continuing to make sales to get a paycheck… if you wanted that, you would not have started reading about Network Marketing.
The only TRUE way to get yourself out of a job is if you have TRUE Duplication happening in your Team…
Say you have an organization that grows to 20-30 people, maybe even 50 people…. then all of a sudden its back down to 10-20 people…that’s when you know that you aren’t doing something right.
Even if you’ve only had an organization of 1-3 people and the most you had was 5-10, a SYSTEM will help you.
So, you start to RE-BUILD again…. getting your organization up to 65 people this time!! Woohoo you are on a roll. Kicking ass and taking names. Then, guess what happens again….
You’re back down to 10-20 people.
What is really happening with your organization is something that you don’t see immediately…
If this is happening to you, YOUR ORGANIZATION IS DEPENDENT ON YOU….
That’s not good, you don’t want a job I assume, or do you like having your dream trips interrupted by downline questions?
Kind of defeats the purpose of becoming a Network Marketer if you keep working to Build your Network and never get to relax and enjoy it……
but we all know that this is VERY tiring and time consuming.
2 Steps to Success In Network Marketing
Are you ready? I know it seems like there should be more….
but, there is only 2… Here they are
Step 1) Find a System that works…
Step 2) Automate that System…
Network Marketing really is THAT easy.
This way, your team can duplicate what you do without you being a part of it! Guess what, you just freed up some time. Now you can take the time to watch that movie you’ve been waiting to get to, or take that much needed Vacation
Once it’s automated, incorporate some tools that automate and replicate what you’ve created…..this allows others to do the same.
When that is all setup, you have free time and,
YOU are succeeding!! HOORAH!
not just a 2-3 level deep business, but one with 15,20,50 levels deep! Can you see yourself being there? Finally achieving those goals you set after watching or reading “The Secret” and having them sit there wondering how that much money would “manifest” , a SYSTEM can help you with manifesting…
You’ll even be able to teach someone who is BRAND NEW with Network Marketing to succeed by having complete automation of a system…
Ever wonder how McDonald’s can succeed with High School drop-outs running everything? It’s called a SYSTEM and Ray Kroc has SYSTEMS down better than anyone else in the Fast-Food business.
Now, I don’t have anything against High School drop-outs, but IF they can succeed in using a system, why can’t you?
Who says a College Student or even a College GRAD can’t be successful in Network Marketing?
Well, that’s where a SYSTEM comes into play. You CAN be successful and WILL be if you choose the right System.
When you use tools, you can be literally ANYWHERE on the Earth and run your business!
That is why Automation is the best thing for Network Marketing…..
Are you beginning to see the benefits of a system and of Automation?
If you can automate what works, then a system can’t be beat.
And we all know that Network Marketing can’t be beat for the lifestyle it creates..
Yours in Wealth,

Tired Of The Old School Network Marketing Techniques?
June 17, 2008
Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques? You know the 3 foot rule, hanging flyers, bugging your family and friends, and holding hotel meetings.
I know that when I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some extra money.
I was only faced with questions I wasn’t able to answer, getting hung up on, and faced with nothing but rejection.
When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me to do was to go out and buy some opportunity leads.
This only led me to some more rejection and spending a bunch of money.
Now I was out of money, and had nothing to show for it.
Then just as I was going to give up, I found what I consider to be the “life saver” for my business.
This life saver I speak of was Mike Dillard’s 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.
In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.
These videos have really changed the way I do my business, and I think they can help you too.
You can get free instant access to these free videos here…
