I dreamed about this.  Having a system like Team Inc Pro, in place that would allow anyone to target both offline and online entrepreneurs directing people to the core of what we are doing here:  Selling products !

Fact #1:  You cannot make any money in network marketing unless you or your team are selling/moving product.

Fact #2:  You need a team of people sharing the same vision and working towards the same goal.  It’s a team effort not a “me” business.

The concept of You Inc is great but it’s focused on YOU not the team!  Hence Team Inc Pro is the new, improved, all encompassing, reality of what it takes to be successful in network marketing.

There are 4 core principles in Team Inc Pro:  They are Wellness, Prosperity, Lifestyle …. by Design.

Core Principal #1:  Wellness

Team Inc Pro introduces you to Body Balance.  The foundation of good health.  Our soils are depleted with the overuse of fertilizers, lack of crop rotation, and neglecting the custom of leaving our land fallow for one year so it can regenerate itself.  The world demands more, bigger, better and the result is a lack of the nutrients, minerals, trace minerals and vitamins our bodies need.  Our food can’t provide that any more.

Life Force International turned to the sea to provide those essential components.  Nine sea vegetables combined with Aloe Vera pack a dynamic powerhouse for the healing and restoration of our bodies.

Team Inc Pro recognizes your success depends on your wellbeing.  Nothing else matters if you don’t have your health.  You deserve to enjoy the journey of life, free of illness and worry and Team Inc Pro combined with Life Force International’s Body Balance can provide all that you need with one decision on your part.

Core Principle #2 – Prosperity

The next step of your journey is Prosperity:  The complete overall wellbeing of operating in a perpetual state of abundance, happiness, gratitude and good fortune.  Abundance flows with being connected to your higher power, when you are grateful for all things and peace flows into and through you.

Working together as a team, your prosperity is the second of the whole, both for yourself and your team.  Ours, yours, theirs are all one and the same and we work towards that prosperity state of wellbeing.

Core Principle # 3: Lifestyle

What kind of lifestyle are you dreaming of?  Do you want the yachts, the big, beautiful mansion, fancy cars, numerous vacations?  Or are your dreams a bit smaller or maybe you have a passion to help kids, dig wells, provide educational opportunities or maybe feeding the hungry?  Maybe you just don’t want to ever have to worry about paying your bills on time ever again !

Team Inc Pro is designed to help you attain whatever the lifestyle or goals you have dreamed of.  Whatever you want, you have a system, a company and a team to help you reach those desires.  None of us are going away.  Nothing will leave you searching for the methods or plan that will allow you to succeed.  The missing ingredient is you and your commitment.

Core Principle #4: …. by Design

Wellness, Prosperity, Lifestyle are 3 of the Core Principles and go nowhere without the design or the plan of how you are going to achieve all of or any of it.  At Team Inc Pro we’ve teamed up with Life Force International to create the size of our residual, passive income.

The design is deliberate, intentional as we show people we are in business, we’ve teamed up with a great company that cares about its distributors, we care about your health and wellness, we welcome, nurture and support our and your newest team members.  We provide in house training for both offline and online and yes, as a network marketer, you will have to talk to people.  That’s a part of the design of Team Inc Pro.

We know what works.  We know what doesn’t work and you have access to all that expertise, with a system that eliminates the tire kickers and leaves you with fully qualified, interested, money in hand people who want to make a difference in their lives.

Team Inc Pro members stand for all that used to be good in this world: integrity, honesty and authenticity.  Combine that with a solid 28 year old company, a system designed to create success, life enhancing products and a willable compensation plan and you will know your family and your families family will experience health and financial security for many years yet to come.

Sign up with Team Inc Pro and Life Force International today and start your journey to Wellness, Prosperity, Lifestyle …. by Design.

Took me years to realize what a funnel was and how it was supposed to work.  I’d read something about it here, I’d hear something about it there but I didn’t realize how important a funnel is and what it was supposed to do.

I was supposed to keep my funnel full.  Get onto social network sites, invite someone to look at some free thing I  was offering in a non-threatening, friendly way.  Write a blog post and include an offer to the same or another free thing they could download, go to or basically just “see” what they could get from me for free.  Include my “free” offer in all signature files.  Write lots of forum posts.  All contacts would see what they could get from me for free ! But what was the focus?

To take them where?

To a lead capture page.

Where I would gather their contact info.  Usually just name and email address but sometimes my capture pages would ask for a phone number.

Then they would land up in my autoresponder.

My autoresponder messages would continue to offer them free “whatevers”, sometimes I’d throw in a recommendation for another affiliate program I was using.  Consistently sending out followup mesages or broadcasts so they wouldn’t forget me.

I would build the relationship.

I’d call them if I had their phone number.  Track them down on Facebook.  Become friends with them.  Follow them on Twitter, YouTube, Google +1.  They couldn’t help but see how prominent I was.

Then the introduction to my primary opportunity.

Whether I knew it or not then I’d let my enthusiasm out of the bag and show them what I great company I had, rattle off all the wonderful stats about the products and company, verbal diarrhea would pour forth, in the hopes they’d catch my excitement and join me.  After all, they saw the great company produced product/comp plan/company video, they already knew what a great leader I was.  It was a given.  They had to join me.

Contrast that to Team Inc Pro

Same connecting – filling of funnel.  But then see what happens.

Team Inc Pro introduces Life Force International right up front.  Your prospects see the company you have associated with.  No more guessing.  No more stumbling around waiting to ask the all important question.  They see exactly what they must do to make a 6 figure income – right up front.  Your new prospects are guaranteed they will be mentored by “qualified” mentors.  Mentors who have made the grade.  Experienced mentors who don’t recommend you “try” this.  What Team Inc Pro does is guarantee, if you follow instructions, that their recommendations work.  That you will achieve success.  The funnel does all the sorting, qualifying, presenting and selling !

Your prospect decides they like what they see.  They sign up, they order product, they fill out the “this is me” form, you get an email, Team Inc Pro kicks into action and you, continue to fill your funnel as your newest team member meets their “qualified” team.

Support, encouragement, qualified professional training is a part of the culture of Team Inc Pro with inside private training forums, team calls, one on one mentoring, plus !

Team Inc Pro is a TEAM.  Never again would you or your prospect be left without an upline.  Team members who are there, who know, understand and have been successful in both ON and OFFLINE marketing strategies.

Contrast the focus of the two different funnels.

Contrast the skill level required in both funnels.  In Team Inc Pro the steps are all automated.  Other than filling your funnel the stress of learning how to be a great copywriter, making the sales pitch (even when someone asks you for the info) is gone! Frustration is gone !!  You have become a professional in an industry that requires you to make sales to make money and you haven’t had to sell a thing !

Which would you rather be a part of? 

Which road would you like to take – the long, winding (massive learning curve) road or the short Team Inc Pro road?

Which one is going to not only put money in your pocket but also provide you with the opportunity to put money in your team’s pockets AND that is what matters.  Not you but how your team does.

That’s the focus of Team Inc Pro.  Building a healthy team based on Wellness, Prosperity, Lifestyle ….. by Design.

Sign up with Team Inc Pro here:  http://joycepennerpro.com and experience all that Life Force International can give you.

Questions I don’t have to answer if I choose not to.  Why wouldn’t I answer them?  Because the system does all the explaining, all the sorting, qualifying, presenting and selling for me.  So why should I take the time to explain it, if I didn’t have to?

But YOU are the Exception.

I’ll explain it to you because I think, as an entrepreneur, you’ll understand it.  You’ll see the power behind the simplicity and recognize it for what it is – the system that requires no learning curve, no convoluted skills.  It’s a package in a box.  Ready to use immediately and all you have to do is tell people about it.

Pretty simple, eh?  (I’m Canadian, I can say that – eh!)

Team Inc Pro is a funnel, based on 4 basic principles.  Wellness, Prosperity, Lifestyle ………and Design.

Right up front you are going to be introduced to Life Force: the products and exactly what you need to do to make a substantial income.  Then as you proceed through the funnel you will learn the nuts and bolts of creating that Lifestyle you choose …..by Design with Life Force and TEAM INC PRO.

Inside the Team Inc Pro system there is a team of people in place to get your own funnel up so you can proceed with what creates an income for you – connecting with people!  You will find training on every aspect of contacting people from how to approach your warm market (and who they are) without scaring them off, how to contact and talk to cold markets and you can even tap into affiliate marketers who are just looking for something lucrative to promote.

The process of mentoring subconsciously keeps people from succeeding.  “Ackkk! What do I do if someone signs up with me?” That too is taken care of.  A qualified mentor steps in and will coach your team for you until you and they become qualified themselves.

Signature files, classified ad copy, customizable photo advertisements, blog posts, article submissions, help with YouTube, Twitter submissions, syndication, a mastermind private forum, team calls and personal one on one coaching are just some of the things in place right now to help everyone build to the peak of success.  (More is being added daily)

Team support is crucial, mandatory and a part of the culture of Team Inc Pro !

Do you want to ask me again why I have teamed up with Richard and Bridgette Bravo and Team Inc Pro/Life Force International?

Because I have something that is missing in most people’s lives.  Wellness, Prosperity, Lifestyle …… and Design all wrapped up in one simple, easy to use system partnered with a solid 28 year old company.

What more could I want?  What more could you ask for?

Well, this year it was fun.  Mom (me) could relax and enjoy them.  Sure work was waiting, or I could have been doing some work, but with Team Inc Pro, all the frustration, all the intensivity (is that a word?) was gone.  I could just have fun, play soccer, swing higher than ever before, jump on the trampoline, cheer the kids on when they rode their bikes faster and faster !

We made popcorn and curled up together in our PJs as we watched a movie, plotted what we were going to make for supper, got covered with dog and horse hair as we brushed their winter coats off and went for walks to discover where the nests were of the Canadian geese and ducks who’ve found our yard.

None of that would have been possible on the treadmill I’ve been on for years.  I would have intensely been concentrating on selling the latest affiliate program or system I was involved with.  Keeping my name out there so if someone wanted to sign up they knew they could connect with me.  I had to be diligent as the money dried up as I knew. through personal experience that retention in an affiliate program is about 3 months.

People were always searching for the next great program/training/system that was going to be THE one to create success for them.  I had to stay one step ahead of them so when the gold flaked off this one I could offer them the next shiny thing.

I was dedicated.  I was focused.  I was determined.

I was also driven and I couldn’t figure out why I had to work so hard and get so little out of it.

Every day, driven to succeed.

So you can imagine how wonderful it felt to relax and enjoy my kids.  Enjoy being with my kids.  Enjoy playing with them.

All because of Team Inc Pro.  The one system that allows me to relax as it does all the work for me.  Well maybe not all.  That would be a blatant, out and out lie.  But it does allow me to introduce anyone (off and online) to a company and a system that leverages the experience of successful business builders to train, mentor and coach anyone who enters the system.  Releasing me to do what I’ve spent years doing – filling a funnel !

That was the problem I had for years.  (Yes, I said “years”!)  Generating leads, talking to leads, weeding out the tire kickers, spending hours helping someone for peanuts who wasn’t even in my company!  Only to have them move onto the next shiny object that maybe I introduced them to and maybe I didn’t.  The spinning, hamster wheel of internet marketing.

Now with Team Inc Pro, I had a system that was going to do all the presenting, qualifying, sorting and yes, even the selling for me and the input, (all that I have to do) is keep the funnel full and be an accountability partner.  Talk about taking the pressure off !  I’m leveraging all the expertise I have, backed by a solid 26 year old company, at my disposal !

I was almost sorry to put the kids on the bus this morning as they went back to school.  They were excited to see all their friends again and I hope they didn’t notice the melancholy I felt as I waved goodbye to them.  I hope they didn’t notice I waved far longer than most moms would (or could).  I hope they have a fantastic day today.

As I know I will.  Relaxed and confident that I can make someone’s life better today just by introducing them to Team Inc Pro.

Is that someone you?

My 9 year old daughter would get off the bus, barrel into the house and tell me how awesome her bus driver was.  He was the absolute best and he just loved cookies.  “Could we make some cookies for him, Mom?”

This happened day after day and I thought to myself this guy must be amazing.  A bus load of noisy kids and he controlled them so well and still they loved him.  WOW.  I knew him from before (we grew up together) and I knew he was a great guy but to have made that kind of an impact on my children gave me this warm and fuzzy feeling.

I decided to track him down and thank him.

Took me a couple of days but I found him and proceeded to tell him how exciting it was to hear my little girl wax so eloquently about him.  How wonderful he was.  I shared with him her desire to make cookies every night just to give to him.  I’m beaming and he’s smiling away.

Then the shoe hit the floor.  He listened to me, never interrupting me, smiled and nodded often but when I was done he told me the truth.  “I tell them that all the time.”  What do you mean, you tell them that all the time?

“I tell the kids I’m the best bus driver they will ever have, I tell them I love cookies, I just keep telling the kids that all the time then it doesn’t matter what I do or how I discipline them, they already have that belief ingrained inside their little souls and continue to love me.  It’s all a matter of belief and then they listen to me better.”

I had to laugh.  I couldn’t help it.  He was a master manipulator.  Honed to a sharp point.  (And yes, for all you parents out there, I trust the guy explicitly and he knows I will hunt him down and kill him if my kids are hurt)

Unfortunately I can’t do that with all the people I see who are getting manipulated into making bad choices in network marketing.  Following people who talk the big talk about how good they are, what a great leader they are, how successful they are at network marketing.

WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE A HOT CLUE HOW TO BUILD A BUSINESS!

That gets me mad.  Everyone has to start somewhere, everyone has to walk their own journey, everyone is seeking success and most will take a wandering path, double backing on their own footsteps.  That I understand.  I’ve been there, done that.

Honesty, integrity and authenticity is what people want, what they need, what they are searching for and to see people being sucked in by those who use those words casually to manipulate others, well, as I said before, gets me mad.

HONESTY

The very thing that most people are taught to ignore.  “Practice posture.  Posture yourself as successful even if you are not.”

Posture IS important but that doesn’t mean you practice dishonesty.  The definition of posture is knowing where you are going, the belief you are going to get there and the knowledge that you have the right vehicle.  It’s a deep knowing in the pit of your soul that success is yours.  It has nothing to do with, there is no connection between, posture and dishonesty.  Posture is a peaceful place.

WHAT NOT TO DO: 

1.) Don’t make claims that are not true.  Read something recently where someone had posted you could make a 6 figure income in 30 to 90 days if you just clicked here and signed up.  Pure, unadulterated BS.  (Excuse the language)

2.) Don’t make claims about your team, implying you have built this large business when in fact all you are doing is spinning who has signed up with some affiliate program you are associated with.

3.) Don’t claim you are some great leader or how successful you are or how you can do this or that now that you are successful (?).  Reserve that for when you truly do reach an impressive income.

CHECK YOURSELF CONSTANTLY.  Is what you are saying the actual truth?  Are you spinning something to make yourself look better?  Reread what you’ve written or posted on YouTube and ask yourself if what you are saying would pass a lie detector test and if not – DON’T SAY IT !  Check your core and never, ever practice deceit.  It WILL catch up with you.

INTEGRITY

Synonyms: character, decency, goodness, honesty, morality, probity, rectitude, righteousness, rightness, uprightness, virtue, virtuousness

As you can see, integrity is so completely tied into honesty it’s hard to separate them.  If you are serious about (which by the way does NOT mean freely giving everything away) helping other people attain their own personal dreams, then that is your complete focus.  This is the step that you must take to maintain your honesty, integrity and authenticity.  Take a good hard look at what you are doing.  Are you simply reeling people in by selling them tools or systems that will put a little bit of money into your pocket and help them find leads (which they don’t know what to do with) or are you really providing them a way to build their primary opportunity.  Can you take people and step by step walk them through building a successful business from A-Z?

If not – check your integrity at the door.  Be honest about what you are promising people.  Unless you have developed a system that takes their lead (which you helped them generate) to their primary, DON’T PROMISE that they will build a huge business.  It’s a lie and that’s the disconnect guys like Frank Kern addressed in his State of the Internet Address.

SO THE QUESTION IS ………..?

What are you really doing?  Selling people tools and systems to generate leads?  Then you are in the business of generating leads.  Be honest about it.  Nothing wrong with that as an occupation.

DON’T:  Claim you will help people build their primary business when that is not what you are doing or incapable of doing at this stage of your life.

AUTHENTICITY

Chapter and verse could be written about authenticity.  Being the real you.  Letting people see the real you.  Not hiding behind a mask, posturing about something you know nothing about.

People will be attracted to who you are and where you are in your journey.  Not all, obviously but more than enough for you to build your dream lifestyle.  You cannot be authentic without having honesty and integrity as part of who you are.

You’ve all met people in your personal life, who you were attracted to because they seemed fun or extremely nice and then found out that they were shallow and vain or behind closed doors they gossiped about you and everyone else.  They were nothing like the individual you thought they were.  You feel betrayed.  There is no other word to describe it.

Now magnify that 1000 percent when someone is trusting you to help them bring their dreams to fruition.  Trusting YOU when they’ve placed their future in your hands.  And you betray them?

The very least you can do is be honest about what you can offer them and if you can’t help them build their primary business – DON’T IMPLY YOU CAN!

I spoke to a woman the other day, a very nice, wonderful, sweet woman.  She has never made a penny in her primary opportunity.  She’s spent years believing in the law of attraction.  Writing, blogging, hoping someone will become her friend and then ask her what company she is with.  Nobody has, or if they did, she has never signed anyone up.  Sales is a dirty word to her and she will “never” sell anything, they have to want it themselves(sell themselves).  Screening someone and rejecting them as a potential business builder horrifies her.  Everyone should have the chance and rejecting someone is ungodly.

Yet she writes beautifully about network marketing and creates the impression success is just a blog away for anyone who joins her !

Now here I am beating up the bus driver.  The guy who started this whole thing.  The manipulator of those less knowledgeable than him.  Him, I can forgive.  The others who play with people’s lives and dreams – forgiveness is not so easy.

And maybe it doesn’t matter.  I challenged a friend of mine on his guarantee of private coaching if someone doesn’t make their money back on a course he is offering.  I asked him how he was going to handle the time to coach all those people and his response floored me.  “I’m not worried about it, only 5% are going to finish the course anyways.”

FIVE PERCENT???  They are handed an opportunity to change their circumstances and only 5% are going to actually do anything with it?

Maybe my anger is misplaced.  Maybe people like the round about, whirligig, unfocused, unprofitable hole they are in and I should leave them to the pretence of hope they are clinging to.

It’s their life.

For those who do care.  For those who are tired of being lied to or being led astray there is hope.  There is more than just hope.  It’s as easy as leaving all the unproductive training you’ve already received behind, the training that has gotten you nowhere, the mentors/coaches/trainers who have led you on an unprofitable path and joining the team of Team Inc Pro.  The professional team of experienced marketers who’s primary focus is business and you!

A friend of mine contributed a different view point:

Marius Lombaard my view is that most people join the sales arena out of desperation, then listen to the absolute worst sales advice from so called “experts” and then (after swallowing the magic positivity pill that’s supposed to solve all our financial problems) suddenly believe they can sell a steak to a vegetarian. The vegetarians have hated us (salespeople) ever since.

Is that it?  The magic positivity pill that everyone has swallowed?  Being stuck on the personal development, the positive affirmations that are going to create success, the “you can’t be rich until you grow into it” scenario?

Whatever it is, are you really going to let an offer like “personal coaching until you make 5X the amount of money you invested” get away from you?  Really ?

That $48 offer is gone tonight.  After that it’s $298 if you want to get in on the training.  The commission drops from 75% to 50% after tonight.

And you are going to miss this?  I hope you choose to take advantage of this once in a life time offer.  You will NOT regret it.  I guarantee that.

My curiosity was aroused.  How can you so passionately believe in something one day then just as passionately flip and reverse gears midway down the road?

The topic was timely as Richard Bravo and I had been discussing this very thing when it came to network marketing.  How can someone teach a marketing technique then have their facebook, twitter, YouTube, Google account suspended (for life) a few months down the road?  Teaching the very activities that got them banned !

Maybe the answer would be in this movie.  Maybe not but I needed my curiosity satisfied.

The kid (Tom Cruise) was born in 1956, son and nephew of World War II veterans.  As in most movies the first 19 years went by pretty quick.  You saw him playing war games as a child, signing up right after school and basic training took mere minutes.  The reality of Vietnam hit hard:  innocent women with children in their arms caught in the crossfire, friendly fire killing comrades, the bullets that took the young man’s ability to feel anything below mid chest happened in the blink of an eye.

As he recovered, in a makeshift hospital where the rats grew bigger every day, he watched the protestors in America, burn the flag he had fought for.  The flag he believed in.  The flag he took a bullet for.  And he was angry.

Things had changed back home, his dad renovated the house to accommodate his wheelchair.  His younger brother had joined the protestors.  He didn’t believe in the war.  He didn’t believe the “anti-communist” reasons for America’s participation in Vietnam were valid.  Tom Cruise’s character was devastated and angry.

That’s when I feel asleep.

I never learned what the turning point was or what happened to turn him into an anti-war advocate.  It must have been horrific.  It must have been huge.  To take someone so passionate about his country, about fighting for his country and flip him over to become the exact opposite of where he started must have taken a lot.

I wonder if that ever happens to teachers, trainers and coaches in network marketing.  Do they have this bolt of lightening hit them and knock them to the ground, illuminating what they’ve done?  Do they feel remorse for all the people that they’ve hurt in their zeal?

Guys like Kevin Trudeau apparently don’t.  There are others too, mostly innocent, passionately believing what they are doing is right.  Only to find out later that they got caught up in the wave of the latest, newest training or system offered.

That’s why Richard and I agreed on something we both saw as a flaw in network marketing.  Newbies teaching newbies and the proliferation of “expert” advice.  The importance of providing qualified, skilled mentors to guide and instruct the newly passionate on the methods and strategies that are focused and profit bearing activities.

You have to earn the role of mentor in Team Inc Pro.  As you gather the skills (and you will), your only job is to network, bring the people in using the Team Inc Pro system and a team of mentors will provide the training and coaching your new distributors need.

You stay focused and Team Inc Pro does the rest. 

Network marketing should be easy.  The internet and all the “expert” and “unqualified” coaches offering value driven free guidance has left network marketers frustrated, overwhelmed and broke.  Team Inc Pro is the answer for a lot of people who are going to be very successful – people who are focused on the right things at the right time with the right team.

Sign up on the top right hand corner of my blog and experience the beginning of the funnel that’s going to make network marketing easy and easy means profitable.

Now ain’t that a word:  Profitable !

One that’s been lacking in the online world.  I wonder if they can sleep at night.  Leading people down a path they haven’t walked themselves or if they have, can they go to sleep knowing they lacked honour, integrity and the truth?

Or are they just the uneducated passionately teaching the uneducated?

But I digress.  The point is it doesn’t have to be that way.  Not with Team Inc Pro anyways and I’m looking for those very people to solidify the Team Inc Pro core team.

If that’s you.  You know what to do.  Enter your name, email address and phone number (top right) on my blog and we’ll talk.

She was in tears.  She needed my help.  Not to do the actual physical work although that would have overjoyed her, but to guide her.

Procrastination had lead to overwhelm.

She’s 9 and not much different than the vast majority of adult network marketers I talk to.

She procrastinates every day about tidying her room.  Network marketers procrastinate about doing the activities that are going to build their business.  She always finds something more interesting to do than clean.  Network marketers run from activities they are scared to do.  She will get lost placing all the game pieces just so in the box.  Network marketers will get lost putting everything in place in their marketing strategy that the game (their business) doesn’t get off the floor.

She has an excuse.

A good one.  Parts of her brain were damaged in utero.

Network Marketers have an excuse too.  One that can be fixed.  Admittedly painful, but doable.  Stop the little voices that tell you that you can’t do it.  Afraid to pick up the phone?  Some little voice back there is telling you that it matters what people think of you.  Some little voice is telling you that sales people are slimy and sleazy and you don’t want to be a “salesperson”.

Just like my little girl, you’ve lost your focus, you’ve forgotten your ultimate goal.  Fear (overwhelm) is holding you back.  To make money you have to sell product.  To get your room cleaned you have to do all the stuff you don’t want to do.

Don’t beat yourself up.  You’ve been told by well meaning, wonderful people to buy this course, get onto this system, learn to market better.  People teaching you, who know more than you, but are still struggling, haven’t made it, have taken your focus off of your primary because it’s easier to market than to sell.  So they will teach you another marketing technique (the next shiny object), then another because it’s easier and more fun to put the puzzle together than it is to pick it up and rearrange the closet so it fits on the shelf.

You know what to do, don’t you?  The focus of every single activity you do is to make a sale.  If the steps you are taking isn’t going to bring you a sale in your primary today or tomorrow then stop doing it !

If you’re like my little girl, she’ll skitter around her room all day procrastinating, never completely over the overwhelm because she doesn’t do the activities that are going to bring her to the ultimate goal.

For you, it might be years and many of you will quit before you get there.  Stop listening to those little voices.  Stop seeking advice from those who are still on the treadmill themselves and do whatever it takes to make a sale today. 

Don’t get me wrong, I was there too !

But I changed all that.  I signed up and am working with Team Inc Pro, where the whole funnel is directing people into my company.  Automated.  Work with the people who’ve joined your company instead of spinning your wheels with those who aren’t generating any income for you.  Generate all the traffic you want with free training inside.  Professional funnel with professional people to help you.

I can tell my little girl, from experience, why it’s so overwhelming, what she needs to do to get over her procrastination.  I can do it because I’m her parent and I know a lot more than she does.  I’m teaching her.

That’s the benefit of working with professionals who know marketing, sales funnels and how to make money in your network marketing journey.

Get with the team now, while we’re in beta mode, and experience the difference success can make.  Sign up, top right hand corner, on my blog.  Watch the first of the videos and then we’ll talk.  You won’t regret taking the frustration out of network marketing.

It’s your choice – put the fun back in with the team at Team Inc Pro.

There’s peace in the early hours.  The kids are still sleeping, the phone isn’t ringing.  You don’t have to get going for awhile yet.  You can drink in the quietness.

So here I sit, at my computer, at the end of a busy, hectic day.  Interruptions, emergencies in the wee hours, scheduled errands done and taken care of.  My body longs for the comfort of my bed.  To just lie down and drift off to sleep.

And I almost set my blog aside.  It was on my list today.  The one thing that isn’t stroked off.  I argued with myself.  I’m tired.  I deserve to go to bed.  I got a lot done today.  Tomorrow is another busy day.  I need my sleep.  The list went on and on.

But if I give in to those voices I will only be procrastinating.  If I don’t write this today I may get it done tomorrow but then there’s everything else I do once the writing is done which won’t get done !  I know it.  It’s happened to me before.

Life got in the way.

Procrastination is one of the worst enemies of anyone involved in the network marketing industry.  There is nobody to hold you accountable.  There is nobody watching the clock to make sure you “work when you are at work”.  So it’s easy to procrastinate.  To put it off till tomorrow.  I work for myself so I don’t have to report to anyone !

Ouch, but therein lies the rub.  If you don’t push yourself nobody else will.  If your income isn’t as high as you would like it to be, it’s nobodies fault but your own.  Chances are you procrastinated.  Just like I was tempted to do.

STOP !!  The very fact you are working for yourself should be all the motivating power you need to get’r done.   You’re working for your family, your lifestyle choices, whatever your dream is.  That’s important.  Important enough that you chose to start a business.

I know it feels like you are working hard and you haven’t gotten any results yet.  You may think that it’s not worth it.  You haven’t made any money yet or not much.  You’re on this hamster wheel perpetually spinning like a top. Take heart, you’re not alone.  Tons of people are in the same situation you are.  Getting stuck and getting nowhere.

I hear you !  I’ve been there, done that !!!

Just over a year ago I started looking for “the” mentor I could learn from, work directly with and get out of that rut of learning more and even more because buying one more course wasn’t going to do it !

A couple of months went by and more people got on my list but I had no place to take them.  Everything I was familiar with just didn’t sit right in my gut.  My conscious wouldn’t allow me to enthusiastically direct them here or there.  More searching, following and observing what “my” potential mentors were doing, what they were saying, questioning myself:  do these people think the way I do, do they have integrity and honesty and more importantly do they care about people.

A couple more months went by and “my” mentor list got smaller and it was time to pick up the phone and connect, personally, with them.  One man rose to the top of my list:  Richard Bravo.  Intelligent yet humble, compassionate, an excellent grasp of the problems and issues most network marketers were facing, a techie kind of guy who had the patience to explain the nuances nobody else shared in their various courses.

I liked what  he was doing with his funnel, what the end result was going to do for big, small and inbetween people.  I liked what his company was doing, where it was going, their philosophy, the products, the comp plan was unbelievable and within days I had joined him in Life Force International.

Today, the funnel is very close to being completed.  Techie issues are holding up the full launch but I can share with you, if you are tired of spinning around in circles, getting nowhere, Team Inc Pro is going to address every single issue you have ever experienced and then some.

You can get a sneak peak at the beta version of the beginning of the funnel on the top right hand corner of my blog.  Fill out your name, best email address and phone number and I’ll send you the link.  Course if you’re married to your current company, don’t waste your time.  That sneak peak is only for those who want to seriously help others AND make money at the same time.

I’m off to sleep now.  I’m glad I didn’t put this off and give into the ugly procrastination trap we often fall into.  I will sleep easy now.  I’m stroking it off my list and I’m done.

Sweet dreams.

Richard Bravo: 

If I can just learn that new seo strategy, then, I’ll see success.
* I’ll buy this ebook.

If I could just learn that new paid advertising method, then, I’ll see success.
* I’ll buy that course.

 “And if you’re like most people in the Network Marketing industry today, right here in 2011, you are in a constant state of overwhelm, distraction, disarray and confusion. You’re like a hamster running around and around and around, possibly getting no further ahead. Each week you’re exposed to the latest, greatest, bright, new “shiny object” that promises to be the next great lead source or the next great business building device. You buy many of them, the information piles up… but so do the bills. You’re not much further ahead than when you started. You’re exhausted, mentally and physically. This was NOT the way it was supposed to be…

Sound familiar? If that’s not you, consider yourself extremely fortunate. And extremely rare. Because what I just described to you IS the great majority in Network Marketing right now. And the great majority is NOT doing well. The number of people “in this industry” vs. the number of people “making money in this industry” is way out of whack and getting worse.” – Andrew Cass 

And we wonder how come.  Every minute of every single day we are bombarded by “NEW” information to process.  And most of us are alone, wandering the information highway, lost, with no guidance.

Overwhelming isn’t it? 

Frank Kern said in his 2012 Internet Address  that we’ve got it all backwards.  We’re focusing on technology and marketing.  Marketing “you” so you can rise up and become a guru at (pick one) method of marketing.  We are attempting to become a big star in a saturated field with an overwhelming flood of information that people don’t need!

 YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR RESULTS

People are looking for results.  Not another course, not another ebook, not another webinar.  RESULTS !   Guru’s have been picking their pockets for years already and some brag about it!   Money is pouring out and nothing or very little is pouring back in.

Tim Sales in his ebook “Online Prospecting Systems …. EXPOSED!” says:  “I recently saw a video from another network marketing “trainer” saying that the #1 thing all prospects want is training, and if you want to be successful then you must become a coach and offer them training.  This person went on to say that there is no “coaching test” – so, all you have to do is simply proclaim that you’re a coach and then start coaching prospects.”  Not only is this philosophy dishonest, it’s also completely unethical!”

Overwhelm !

“Today, YouTube is full of “attraction marketers” trying to teach you how to do that which they have never done.  If anyone tells you to brand yourself as an expert, run. Understand most people see right through your charade and view you as someone who is calling themselves an MLM consultant, but really doesn’t have a clue.”  – Dale Calvert, The Success Principal The Internet Has Stolen”

Frank Kern bluntly states we, as network marketers, are in an identity crisis.  We are NOT in the internet business.  There are zero (0) dollars to be made in the “business” of internet marketing.  The dollars are in the product.  Product must be sold. “Internet marketing is using the internet to deliver the right message about an excellent product to the right people at the right time.”  That’s it.  That’s all.

When we combine the wisdom of all these successful businessmen, they are all acknowledging where our industry is now:  frustrated, overwhelmed, in information overload.  Add the erroneous training information the wannabe mentors, coaches, trainers are perpetuating.  Subtract the lack of focus on what we should be doing: moving an exceptional product, and it’s no wonder network marketers are confused, frustrated and still poor.

But there is hope.

Frank Kern says we are in the business of results and he defines that as: “When you can efficiently guide a customer towards an end result which will provide massive transformational value in his/her life” you have a “Magic Bullet”.

We did it.  We created that Magic Bullet.  That transformation just waiting to happen.   But wait, let me fill you in on how it all came to pass.

Richard Bravo, (a Betternetworker instructor),  who needs no further introduction, and I were chatting on the phone one day and the conversation turned to what’s happening online, what people are missing, what that missing link is, how to help those who, as Andrew Cass identified, as being on a hamster wheel.  Our energy fed off each other and I found out Richard was in the beginning stages of designing a system that addressed those very issues.

 Hours and hours later …….

We talked and we talked and we talked again.  How to incorporate online and offline, how do we work with only those who want success, how to weed out the tire kickers and the wannabes, what level of training are we going to offer, how to incorporate blogs into a newbie’s marketing strategies that were SEO friendly, yet be personalized enough to utilize with PPC, how do we address the broken link between marketing and product sales, how do we handle the training, how do we get past the current flaws when the newest members teach and train their newest members and the list went on and on.

Our Goals, Our Values, Our Focus

Then we had to talk about our goals, our values and our focus.  Were we on the same page?  Did Richard and I value the same things?  Were we in this to make money for ourselves or was the team the focus?  Did we agree on the qualifications and standards before we agreed to work with someone.  We spoke honestly and openly about integrity, honesty and ethics and found out we’re reading from the same book.

The decision to work together was easy and Richard’s “Magic Bullet” became mine.

That “Magic Bullet” that is in the ‘soon to be released’ stage.  The one that the right person can get in now and become a part of the foundation of the TeamIncPro/Wealth System.

If that person is you, or you think it’s you, go to the top right hand corner of my blog, sign up with your best email address/name/phone number and you will get ONE email from me with the link to the first 3 videos in the system that literally will get you off and out of the never ending cyclical hamster wheel.

My number and my email address are in the ONE email.  Watch the videos, then call or email me. 

There are too many good people, successful people like Andrew Cass, Tim Sales, Richard Bravo, Dale Calvert and Frank Kern who have identified what the problem is.

Now’s your chance to get off the wheel and focus on what you’re here to do.  “ It’s not only important what you learn but who you learn it from.” – John Maxwell
