Go ahead and ask a hundred different people how committed they are to their own success and there’s no doubt each one of them will tell you they’re completely committed to living a successful, more fulfilled life. After all, we all want the best life has to offer, do we not?

The answer of course is ABSOLUTELY!

How is it done? The glaring question is how do you become successful in life? If most everyone wants more out of life, why do so few actually get it?

The answer lies in a person’s ability to handle adversity. How to succeed in life is lost on those who are incapable of handling life’s challenges. Too many people are willing to cut and run at the first signs of difficulty. You’ve got to learn that things will ALWAYS get difficult from time to time. Cutting and running is no strategy for handing a challenge.

Your commitment to success will be frequently challenged. And it is the strength of your commitment which will determine whether you stand up to those challenges or run from them. To get through the challenges you must focus on your objectives. You must put all of your focus on where you are going to, not what you’re going through. You do that and I can promise you will get through it; do that and you’ll get through anything.

It’s been said that success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Meaning, success takes work – an awful lot of work. Don’t let this discourage you. The work required is always well worth it. When you can wake up in the morning and realize that you’ve become the success you’ve always wanted to become, I can guarantee the work required to get there will seem nothing more than just a distant memory.

Success is 10% inspiration. Meaning, no perspiration is required without getting inspired about something. All success starts with inspiration!

How to succeed in life does not have to be a painful experience. As long as your inspiration is strong enough there is nothing which can stand in your way.

Learning how to recruit for your home based network marketing business is, by far, the most important success activity you will perform. Let’s face it, everything else you might do to grow your business will be meaningless if you’re not finding good quality people for your organization.

Successful network marketing recruiting means having standards for the people you’ll bring into your business. It does not mean having an open door policy and being willing to recruit just anybody with a heartbeat.

It’s easy for you to have an open door policy for your business especially when it’s new and you’re just starting out. But, it’s important that you at least operate with having it in mind that you’ll use some discretion to really build your network marketing organization successfully.

This is such an important point for you to understand so consider the following.

Those who you’ll be bringing into your network marketing organization will be relying upon you for assistance and direction in building their own business. As their sponsor it is your responsibility to be there for them. And it’s good business for you. After all, the more successful the people in your downline the more successful you’ll become.

You will find that the key to your success will be to find people who are serious about their own success.

You can give another person all the help in the world and the best systems and marketing tools you have. But, if they’re not committed to their own success then all the help you provide will be for naught.

Your objective should be to find people who are coachable and trainable. You want people on your team who require guidance so you can lead them to their own successful network marketing business.

On the other hand, you will find that you’ll be literally pushing those who are not taking their own success seriously. Trying to coach this type of person will be a fruitless exercise in frustration.

The important points to remember are you will be able to pull a person towards success but you’ll never be able to push them towards success.

The following analogy will make this point crystal clear.

Picture a 12 inch piece of string sitting on a table in front of you. Grab hold of either end of the string and pull. You will see that the string flows nicely along in the direction it’s being pulled.

Now, holding the same end, try pushing the string in the opposite direction and what happens? The string no longer flows. It gets all bunched up and goes nowhere.

You’ll never be able to push the string to where you want it to go but pulling it is a different matter entirely.
And so it is with the people you’ll be bringing on board your business. Find the ones you can pull and avoid, at all costs, the ones who require pushing and prodding.

So how is it done? How do you find those types of people? The answer is really pretty simple; you’ll want to interview your prospects to uncover their motivations for starting a business.

You’ll want to determine for yourself that they have an entrepreneurial mindset and will be approaching network marketing as the serious business that it is and not just a hobby.

There are 6 simple questions to ask your prospects to determine if they are a good fit for your organization. These six simple questions will definitely help you to separate those who are serious from those who will wind up merely taking up your valuable time.

You can gain immediate access to a series of free reports I’ve written which can help you to build a successful network marketing business. Discover these 6 important questions and begin to recruit for your network marketing organization the right way.

Yesterday I posted an article yesterday to this blog comparing residual income to earned income. I’d have to say that it’s a pretty informative, very easy to understand article and I think you’d really enjoy it. A video discussing these two types of incomes was also included. Anyway, go check it out and be sure to leave a comment; I’d love to know what you think.

Residual income is so important to financial security in today’s world that I’d like to use this week’s edition of the Tuesday Tip to discuss it with you a bit more.

To put residual income in its proper context let’s first highlight a few points about earned income. The vast majority of people rely upon earned income as their sole source of money. Earned income is given to a worker in the form of a paycheck. Two major problems with this type of income are: 1 – earning it puts the worker on a never ending treadmill, and 2 – it can be taken away in an instant.

1 – a person wakes up in the morning, goes to work for 8 hours a day, goes back home, eats dinner, goes to sleep just to wake up and start the cycle all over again. They essentially live to work which results in a treadmill with no end in sight.

2 – I think we’ve seen all the evidence we need to see that a job can be taken away literally overnight. With millions of people having lost their jobs over the past few years you can see for yourself that there is no such thing anymore as job security. Even teachers and police officers are being laid off – nobody is safe today. What this tells you is earned income is very insecure.

On the other hand, residual income is a stream of income received for some type of work completed once. An example of this might be a recording artist who produces a CD. Once completed, every time a copy of that CD is sold the artist receives a residual income payment on the sale.

Obviously there aren’t too many of us with the talent required to produce a CD; especially one that others would actually want to buy. So, the question then begs, how can the average person create themselves a residual income?

The answer lies in having a network marketing home based business. The foundation of the network marketing business model is based on residual income. When you have a network marketing business you’re building an organization. Once built, the efforts of those within your organization will provide you with that all important stream of residual income.

Your level of income will be determined by you and once built, your minimal involvement is required to keep the income stream going.

Is it easy to build a network marketing business? No it is not and don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. But I can absolutely guarantee that once you have developed your network marketing business and your residual income stream, the effort required will always be very well worth it.

I’ve created a free report you can use to help you develop a residual income of your own. Go ahead and download it now…

Can I please talk with you for a moment about how to develop a residual income? Maybe before we get into a discussion about how to develop it, let’s first answer the question of what it is residual income.

Residual income is money paid to you consistently and steadily over time as the result of some body of work you’ve completed once. An example of this might be a recording artist who produces a new CD. They complete the CD once and it then sells for years thereafter providing the artist with a consistent stream of income.

Once you fully understand the power of passive, residual income I’m certain you’ll want to get yourself some too!

Earned income on the other hand is the way in which the majority of society keeps their income stream going. This form of income requires your direct involvement to keep it flowing. Take a job as an example. The moment you stop working at your job, the income stops.

Earned income is the most insecure form of income there is. We’ve seen all the evidence we need to see about this, haven’t we? With millions of people having been recently laid off from a job you can see for yourself that an earned income stream can be taken away in an instant.

It should be obvious that earned income is a trap whereas residual income can literally set you free. It can set you free from the rat race and enable you to really live the life you were meant to enjoy.

So how is it done? How does the average man or woman develop themselves a residual income? Because let’s face it, there aren’t too many of us who can produce a bestselling CD.

The answer to this question lies in developing a home based, network marketing business. Stick with me here for just the next few minutes and I will show you that a network marketing business is by far the best way for the average person to develop residual income.

This quick video explains why:

Also known as multi level marketing or MLM, network marketing has created more at home millionaires over the past few decades than any other industry – there isn’t even a close second. The industry is filled with work from home success stories of regular folks just like you.

The entire pay structure of a network marketing company is set up on the concept of residual income. When you get involved in network marketing, you’re building a business of your own. Your level of income is tied directly to your own efforts and success. Nobody can put a limit on how big you can grow and therefore no cap on your level of income is imposed upon you.

Here’s the really cool part; the organization you develop in network marketing provides you with a residual income stream for many, many years to come. With minimal direct involvement from you, once you grow your organization, you will continue to be paid for those efforts.

Also, because starting a home based network marketing business generally requires a low initial investment, building a residual income stream with this type of business is readily available to everybody.

This all sounds great but what is the downside to network marketing? After all, everything has its downside.

Network marketing is an industry mostly littered with those who have tried and failed. Every last person who has started a network marketing business has done so with big dreams of becoming wealthy. Why then do so many people fail in this profession?

Regardless of what anybody might tell you, starting and growing a network marketing business is not easy. Far too many people jump into this industry with no idea of how to develop a profitable business. When things begin to get difficult the overwhelming majority of people will quit and then say that network marketing is a farce; that it doesn’t work.

What these people don’t realize is that you are doomed to failure in anything you do if you run at the first signs of trouble. Nobody has ever succeeded at anything if they don’t have the guts to stay with it when the going gets tough.

With just a little education up front, you will be able to make the decisions necessary to help you succeed in a network marketing business of your own. I’ve written a free network marketing success report you can use to help you develop a residual income stream.
