There is no shortage of terrific training materials today to teach a person how to generate network marketing MLM leads. One very important aspect though of how to generate network marketing leads is frequently left out.

Even if you are effectively generating leads for your home based business, unless you know what to actually do with those leads then you will struggle.

You see, simply generating leads does not necessarily equal network marketing success. Here’s the thing you need to know about succeeding in network marketing; the most leads will not win the race. knowing what to do with those leads will.

In just a moment I will show you exactly what I mean.

Firstly, understand that your primary goal in how to succeed in a network marketing MLM business is to build people. As Michael Dlouhy would say: Build people and People will build your business.

What this statement tells you is how to succeed in network marketing requires that you sponsor, work with and train others to build a successful business of their own. When you help others to achieve what they want in MLM then there is no question you will achieve what you want in the process.

Here’s the rub; you’ll be investing a great deal of your time and energy into working with others. And people, by their very nature, would love to take up as much of your time as you’re willing to give them. So the question you need to answer for yourself is; will you be investing your time into those most worthy of it?

As a home based entrepreneur the most valuable asset you have is your time. Waste it on sponsoring tire kickers and you’re doomed to failure.

Invest it wisely on sponsoring serious business builders and you’re destined for success.

If you are not sponsoring the right people into your business you’ll be squandering a great deal of your most valuable asset.

If there’s any one thing I’ve learned about working with others on how to succeed in MLM is if they do not have the desire to help themselves then nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing I could ever do would help them. In other words, you can only help those who are ready to help themselves.

As a network marketing professional I know that you’re eager to help others to become successful. But, you cannot push people into success, you can only help to pull them there.

The distinction between trying to push someone toward success versus helping to pull them there is critical. Consider the following example.

Picture sitting on a table in front of you is a 12 inch piece of string. Grab hold of one end of the string and pull it. What happens? The string will smoothly flow in the direction it is being pulled.

Now, same scenario, but this time instead of pulling the string try to push it. What happens? The string gets all bunched up and goes nowhere as you’re forcing it to “move against its will”.

And so it is with the people you’ll be working with in network marketing. You can provide a person with all the tools and assistance in the word. But, if they lack the desire to learn how to succeed in MLM, for you it will be just like trying to push, rather than pull, a piece of string.

In this high tech world in which we live, communications are frequently conducted virtually. The tools we have at our disposal such as email, blogs, texting and yes, even the fax machine, enable us to communicate with people the world over with great ease.

All of these technically advanced methods of communication are still driven by the words we use. The words that you use and how you use them say a lot about the type of person you are. And rightly or wrongly, people do judge you on your use of words.

The words which flow from your mind be them written or spoken tell others immediately whether or not you are somebody they would want to, or should, listen to.

The use of a rich vocabulary let’s others know that you’re confident; it will cause others to take pause and pay attention to what you have to say. Additionally, the use of a rich vocabulary will enable you to convey your thoughts precisely and concisely.

Please note that I’m stressing the importance of having a rich vocabulary not a big one. There is nothing particularly virtuous about having a big vocabulary whereas there is every virtuous about having a rich vocabulary.

What’s the difference between the two?

A big vocabulary is dropping complex words throughout your written and verbal communications in an attempt to impress others. A rich vocabulary is coming across to others as articulate through the use of appropriate and carefully chosen words. There is a huge difference between these two.

Never underestimate the power of a rich vocabulary.

There are a number of things you can do to help you enhance your word power. One of my personal favorites is Word of the Day from Dictionary.com. It’s free and once you sign up you’ll receive a new word to your email inbox every day.

What I like to do is keep my Word of the Day email open and reference it from time to time throughout the day. By doing so, at the end of the day I would’ve added a new word to my vocabulary. It’s fun, easy and very beneficial.

Go ahead and try it out, I know you’ll love it. Just go and visit http://www.Dictionary.com and you’ll see the sign up box on the right hand side of the page.

This is a very important post so please take a few minutes to read it through to the end.

A very good friend’s father passed away last week, the wake was on Monday. I will refer to him in this post as Mr. P.

Throughout the funeral home there were about 15 photo collages set up which showed Mr. P surrounded by his family and friends. It was abundantly apparent that the man lived a loving and very fulfilling life. He was loved and adored by all those knew him…especially his family.

Why am I telling you this? Well, amongst all of the photographs on display at the funeral home there was one collage of the thank you letters and testimonials Mr. P had received from his clientele over the years.

Mr. P was a landscaping contractor (his youngest son now carries on with the business). I stood there for at least a half an hour reading thank you note after thank you note that Mr. P had received from his many happy clients. It was plain as day that Mr. P loved his work, took pride in it and always delivered over and above the expectations of those who hired him.

One additional thing I took note of was the massive number of people who filtered through the funeral home to say goodbye to him. At one point the line of those who came to say goodbye to Mr. P wrapped around the block.

I’ve always been aware of the importance of living a life of service to others; of delivering value and delivering more than what’s expected of you. But this concept is easily lost on us as we go through our lives from day to day. Seeing the admiration of Mr. P after his passing – from his loved ones, friends and clients – really underscored this for me.

Anyhow, Mr. P’s career enabled him to live a life not many get to enjoy. He had a beautiful home in the NYC suburbs and a beach house on the New Jersey shore. I know that Mr. P didn’t want for anything. The great life he lived stands as a testament to his passion for his work and for those around him.

I do not want this message to be too long but I do want to say one last thing; sadly, so many people actually have a negative net worth by the time they hit age 65. Please – PLEASE – do not let that be you. We all only have one shot at being on this planet.

You can spend your life any way that you choose but you can only spend it once.

My calling is to help and work with others who want more from life. If there is anything I can do for you, to help you to get the most from this lifetime you’ve been given, please do not hesitate to let me know.

And, as always, I wish you a great deal of peace and prosperity in your life.

In my weekly Tuesday Tips newsletter I went and shared some terrific inspirational quotes with my readers. There were also a few funny ones mixed in.

There’s so much to be learned from others even by reading a simple, single sentence quote. Speaking for myself, sometimes a just quote can provide an Ah-HA moment or provide the inspiration to continue forward during difficult times.

Here are a few I wanted to share with you for now and I’m hoping you’ll take a moment to leave a comment and share your own favorite quotes with my readers.

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right.”

“Success comes in a can, failure comes in a can’t.”

“If you love what you do you’ll never work another day in your life.”

“It’s easy to get to the top after you get through the crowd at the bottom.”

“Everybody’s a self-made man; but only the successful ones are ever willing to admit it.”

“Success comes before work only in the dictionary.”

“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”

“When you were born you were crying and everybody around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you pass from this earth you’ll be smiling and everybody around you will be crying.”

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

Here are a few humorous quotes:

“The only trouble with trouble is it starts off as fun.”

“If at first you DO succeed try not to look too surprised.”

“Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.”

“Whoever said money cannot buy happiness simply does not know where to shop.”

“The road to success is always under construction.”

It’s a question more and more people are asking these days: how do I succeed in network marketing? And for good reason.

Lots of people have been suffering financially lately even though experts are telling us that the economy is recovering. Even if that’s true, so what? Even if Corporate America does in fact recover from its recent meltdown, who in the heck would want to go back to such an archaic employment system?

And this is the reason why more and more people today are asking how do I succeed in network marketing?

This poor economic environment has encouraged masses of people to look at alternative ways to provide for themselves which has thrust the home based business industry into the spotlight.

Although there are numerous ways for a person to develop a business from the home, network marketing is definitely at the top of the list.

Why is this? There are many different ways for a person to build a business from home so why choose network marketing?

Allow me to give you a few of the top reasons.

Reason 1
Network marketing has gained a tremendous amount of mainstream popularity over the past few years. So much so that the likes of former President Bill Clinton, Americas’ Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki and even “The Donald”, Donald Trump, endorse network marketing.

I don’t know about you, but these are people whose opinions I value. Put it this way, if an overweight person were to give you weight loss advice, would you listen?

On the other hand, if a successful person were to give you a recommendation on a business to start from home, would you listen?

Reason 2
Becoming successful in a home business is a team sport, you do not have to go it alone. In fact, don’t even think about going it alone.

The structure of network marketing is set up in such a way that it’s built around the team concept. The person or people you get involved with in this industry have a vested interest in seeing you succeed and will do what they can to help you get there.

It’s a win-win for all involved, especially the home business rookie.

Reason 3
Network marketing is essentially a “business in a box.” When starting a business from home there are many pieces to puzzle. Network marketing provides many of the required pieces including the product line, marketing assistance, sales training and support.

Be that as it may, if you’re asking how do I succeed at network marketing the answer ultimately lies with you. Although you will receive all of the support you’d need, nobody is going to do the required work for you. And if anybody ever tells you that they will do the work for you, I’m telling you they are absolutely lying.

Reason 4
When it comes right down to it, the only reason for starting a business from home is to develop a lifestyle, correct? The lifestyle you desire is yours through the magic of something known as a residual income.

Residual income is an income stream paid to you on an ongoing basis for some piece of work you’ve completed once. Network marketing is predicated on residual income.

A real business should provide its owner with income once the business has been established. There are many entrepreneurs who feel that they’ve created a business when in fact it what they’ve created for themselves is a job.

For example, think about your local auto repair shop owner. If he’s not turning wrenches, fixing cars, he’s not getting paid. If he takes off a week or two his income will suffer. That is not a business, it’s a job.

Through the magic of residual income, a successful network marketing business on the other hand will continue to pay you even when you take time off.

A real business exists to serve you whereas a job exists to be served by you. There is a huge distinction between the two which you need to understand.

Now all this stuff sounds rosy but you’re most likely asking, well how do I succeed in network marketing? Because, let’s face it, real success in any kind of a business is never easy.

And, there is one single step you can take, up front before even getting started which can help make the network marketing business building process a whole lot easier.

To find out what this one step is for yourself, and answer the question of how do I succeed in network marketing, I’ve written a free report just for you. Upfront education is the most important step you can take to succeed in your home business. You can download the report right now by visiting http://www.UltraHomeBusiness.com/

The study of how to succeed at network marketing has changed drastically over the past 10 or so years. The reason for this change can be summed up in two simple worlds: the internet.

Of course the world wide web has completely changed the landscape for all types of businesses. But for the purposes of this article we’ll focus our attention specifically on MLM and the web’s impact on how to succeed in network marketing.

There are so many great resources available which can teach you how to leverage web technologies to build your home based network marketing business.

These resources will instruct you on the proper usage of social sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. How to use blogs to succeed at network marketing, the importance of having a marketing funnel in place, PPC efficiency and the list goes on and on.

What tends to get lost in the ocean of this technological training as it relates to growing a network marketing business is the personal nature of MLM.

At the core of Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring training is the importance of positioning yourself as a leader. A leader that others will view as a valuable resources who can help them to build a successful network marketing business of their own.

Understand that success in network marketing is entirely about connecting with people. And this is the reason why the internet has had such a tremendous impact on how to succeed in network marketing. It provides us with an unlimited number of ways to connect with others.

Never before have we seen such powerful business building tools.

But never lose sight of the fact that behind every email you send and every video you post to YouTube and blog post you make there are people; real live human beings. And people want to do business with other people not technology.

Technology changes at such a blistering pace that you can never be too sure of what will be the next new, hottest technology to market and grow your MLM business. What’s hot and what’s working now could be completely different next year; even next month.

What has remained unchanged though for thousands of years and what will never change is human nature.

At the core we all have dreams, goals, desires and wants. When you can understand the dreams, goals, desires and wants of the people you’re talking with about your business you will have no choice but to succeed.

When you connect with people on a personal level and understand their motivations for wanting to start an MLM business then you will no doubt succeed at network marketing.

Although the internet provides every means imaginable to initiate contact with others, how do you take it to the next step? How do you then replace technology with the human touch even if a person is half way around the world?

With your eyes and ears, that’s how. Read the emails they send to you with care and really listen to what they say when speaking with them on the phone.

In order to connect with people on a personal level you’ve got to find out what motivates them. You need to uncover their dreams and goals. To do that, you should be spending most of your time looking and listening.

Ask them questions and let them tell you why they are worthy of your valuable time. Let them convince you that they are a good fit for your business not the other way around.

Finally, above all else, network marketing is a business. Make sure you get involved in a business which is true to your core. When you’re speaking with others they will be able to sense the belief and enthusiasm you have for your product.

Your belief and enthusiasm will come through which will result in a natural human connection with others.

There exists a quiz referred to as “The Charles Schultz Philosophy” although there is some debate as to whether or not Schultz actually came up with it. For those who may not know, Schultz created the popular “Peanuts” comic strip.

I’d originally read this philosophy years ago and just came across it again the other day. I wanted to pass this along to you because I really feel that this short philosophy is what success and life is all about.

It’s very easy for each of us to lose sight of the really important things in life. As we get all caught up in achieving and accumulating things we tend to forget what’s most important.

The following is a great reminder.

Here’s the quiz although you do not have to actually answer any of these questions to get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
3. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
4. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
5. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is; none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care and make a difference for others.
