Prison vs. Work Debate

IN PRISON . . . you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell. 
AT WORK . . . you spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.

IN PRISON . . . you get three meals a day. 
AT WORK . . . you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.

IN PRISON . . . you get time off for good behavior. 
AT WORK . . . you get rewarded for good behavior with more work.

IN PRISON . . . a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
 AT WORK . . . you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself.

IN PRISON . . . you can watch TV and play games. 
AT WORK . . . you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON . . . you get your own toilet. 
AT WORK . . . you have to share.

IN PRISON . . . they allow your family and friends to visit. 
AT WORK . . . you cannot even speak to your family and friends.

IN PRISON . . . all expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work required. 
AT WORK . . . you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON . . . you spend most of your life looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out.
AT WORK . . . you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

IN PRISON . . . there are wardens who are often sadistic. 
AT WORK . . . they are called managers.

Leverage the Spiderweb

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:12:00 +0000

Mistake #21
Not understanding & leveraging
the spiderweb effect.

You have been recommending and promoting products & services since you were age 5.
You could look at it as a spiderweb you have created – lines here, there and everywhere
to many different people. Your spiderweb will attract to you the people, the places & the
products that will lead to your success in life ... if only you build & nurture it.

We recently had 35 team members attend Tom “Big Al” Schreiter’s Power Marketing
Workshop. They learned techniques that will change their lives and change their
business. But it wouldn’t have happened without the spiderweb effect.

They joined Mentoring For Free. We put out an email promoting the Workshop. And
these people said, “Yes! I need to expand my knowledge base.” Because of the spiderweb
effect, they are able to do that.

They are opening their eyes. They walked away from that training with brand-new,
brilliant marketing concepts.

Five years ago at a Power Marketing Workshop, I came up with the idea for Mentoring
For Free. It’s in my notebook. THAT is a spiderweb.

Are you In 5 Pillars Company?

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:03:00 +0000

Mistake #20
Not taking this business
from your head to your heart.

Network marketing is a level playing field. It’s mandatory that you know in your heart
that you are working with a “5 Pillars” company. And you will get that from your head
to your heart.

I frequently hear people say, “Well, I know this thing won’t last very long. But I’m gonna
get in there and make a bunch of money.”

No, you’re not.

It’s going to crash and burn around you ... and it will help destroy your credibility with
people as it goes down in flames.

I could put up an “MLM Horror Stories” website. A lady I met recently built a business
for 7 years. The company is 11 years old, and it has gone through 9 compensation plans.
They’ve got it really figured out now. This lady has a quarter-million dollars of
volume in her group, and she didn’t even qualify for a check last month!

When she joined the company, how much volume was underneath her? That’s easy –
ZERO!

So her efforts over 7 years – and the efforts of her recruits – have brought in a lot of
people. But she started it. Without her, it would not have been there.

So now it’s there. She created this volume for the company. And the company has
consistently figured ways to rip off the distributors and pay them less money.

Once you get it from your head to your heart that you MUST be in a “5 Pillars” company,
then you own it. I could be talking to a widowed woman raising 3 children, and I know in
my heart that she’s got just as much of an opportunity to make her business work as I did
when I started.

Do You Have a MasterMind Group?

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:56:00 +0000

Mistake #19
Not leveraging the talent & brains of a
Mastermind Group of like-minded people.

Everyone gets down from time to time. When you’re plugged in to like-minded people,
they will always lift you up.

Even better than that ... you have an idea. You share the idea with your Mastermind
Group. So 1 mind becomes 3 minds becomes 23 minds. It just grows exponentially, when
you’re working with a Mastermind.

We do a weekly Mastermind Conference Call that anybody is invited to join, where we
talk about great ideas & get lots of different thoughts on how to use them. If you’d like
details on how to get on this call, email Paul Sorgi at paul.sorgi@gmail.com .

Having Your FAVORITE Product May be the Worst Thing You Can Do!

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:52:00 +0000

Mistake #18
“I’ve got to have the best product out there!”

Wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this one.

Some people – especially those GREEN, introverted, data-driven personality types –
search network marketing companies by product only. They want a product THEY love,
something that totally changes THEIR life, and that’s all they’ll ever promote.

The result is, they personally try lots of products. But they’ll only promote something that
gets them personal, earth-shattering results. That way, they can totally focus on their
wonderful product, and never have to do the icky part of the business – building a
relationship with their prospects!

Sure, it makes sense to some people ... but in this business, it leads you far from success.
The key is, pick a product that OTHER people want. That is the key. You target a
starving crowd for your market. If the product turns you on, that’s a bonus. It MUST turn
on a big market for you to have long-term success, and that is your first consideration.
But a lot of people make that mistake over and over, choosing only a product that THEY
love.

One way to find a starving market – and the product that fills their need – is to do some
Google searches and compare the number of web pages available for different products.
If one product has 10 million websites, and another has 300,000, which one probably
offers the bigger market for you to approach?

How Many No's do you Want?

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:37:00 +0000

Mistake #17

Get 100 "No"s and you're closer to a "Yes."

Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. If 3 “No”s hurt real bad, why do you need 97 more? Most
new reps will be dead before they ever get to 100 “No”s. Instead, target your market.

I don’t like “No.” I haven’t gotten a “No” about my opportunity in years, because I don’t
position myself to get a “No.” Just talk to people who have raised their hand, who are
interested in what you do. That alone will change your life.

We have a system that allows you to do that. When you promote my “Success In 10
Steps” ebook, you ONLY get interested people who want to talk to you. And when you
call them up, we train you to use a script that is 100% successful. That doesn’t mean they
will all join you, of course. But it does mean you NEVER get a “No.” You’ll be able to
hear this script in action on our FREE nightly training phone calls.

The Key is To Catch The Right WAVE

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:45:00 +0000

Mistake #15
Joining a company long after
their momentum phase.

The more name recognition a company has, the less of an opportunity YOU have. Here’s
where you start to tell a professional network marketer about your company, and they
laugh ... because they know about this company and they’ve heard all the horror stories
associated with it.

They know the compensation plan has changed 10 times and the company name has
changed. You’ll be fighting a real uphill battle trying to promote a company that has such
widespread name recognition.

Most of the old-time companies made vital mistakes when they were in their start-up
phase ... mistakes that can’t be changed now. They didn’t leave themselves room to grow
in forward thinking. For instance, many new pay plans are weekly pay plans. Reps
certainly favor weekly pay, rather than monthly. It’s a good selling point for you to use. But the older companies are locked into a plan that pays monthly, and trying to change
from monthly to weekly would be a nightmare for them.

The older companies have massive overhead. Many of them have more people on their
corporate staff than players on a basketball team. It’s like General Motors. GM right now
is in terrible financial shape because they grow this huge, wasteful corporate
conglomerate. Many of the big, old-time MLM companies did the same thing.

One long-time MLM company will spend about a hundred million dollars in the next year
trying to streamline the company and cut the overhead. They see the handwriting on the
wall. They know the company’s existence is threatened if they don’t cut the overhead.

And if they’re spending a hundred million to cut overhead, just imagine the dollar value
of the overhead they’re cutting!

Is Perfection Your Excuse?

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:39:00 +0000

Mistake #14
Insisting on perfection.

Every Green personality, I hope you are listening to this. Nothing is perfect in marketing.
Waiting for perfection becomes your excuse not to take action. You can’t fail if you don’t
act. That’s why you always dot the “i”, cross the “t”, double-and-triple-check the
spelling, make sure the alignment of the paragraphs is perfect, get the exact right color
combination on the website ... any excuse will do. Insisting on perfection means you
never need to take action.

But the truth is, action is way more important to your success than perfection. Just pick a
direction & get started. If you need to change your path along the way, you can do that.
Choosing the alternative – doing nothing, waiting for perfection – is hopeless.

You Want Success in Network Marketing??

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:04:00 +0000

Mistake #13
Focused on the fastest way to success.

Here’s the secret: a proven, duplicatable system. Keyword: proven.

There’s a company right now that is promoting to their distributor base that they should
mortgage their home for $35,000. What the company is saying is that in 6 months, you’ll
be making $60,000 a month! And then you can just pay off that silly little $35,000
mortgage.

I’d love to talk to those people. And my question would be, “OK. Prove it. Show me your
Heavy Hitters, rolling in dough, who mortgaged their home to be successful. Show me
your big moneymakers who used THIS nutso system to have success.”

You definitely need a system. But it’s got to be a logical, PROVEN system.

I got a call a month ago. Lady said, “Michael, how would you like to put 12 awesome
people into your business every week?”

I said, “Sure. That’s great. Put me on the phone with the 12 people you sponsored last
week.”
Total silence.

“Well, how about 12 people you put into the business in the last 4 weeks?” That’s only 3
people a week. But I got no answer.

You must require “proven.” You need a PROVEN system that works. Talk is cheap.

Do Network Marketing Heavy Hitters Guarantee You Success?

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:54:00 +0000

Mistake #12
Thinking that being sponsored by a “Heavy
Hitter” will guarantee your success.

This business is called netWORK marketing. Not netHELP, netFREE, netGIFT,
netGROUNDFLOOR, netOVERNIGHT, OR netHEAVYHITTER.

Success is inside you. But most people don’t see that. They think their only hope for
network marketing success is to be sponsored by a “Heavy Hitter,” who will take
responsibility for them.

It doesn’t work that way.

Most Heavy Hitters are slamming salespeople, and there is no way you can duplicate
what they do. They are deluged with people who want to join them. So they’ll happily
sign you up and then let you sink or swim on your own. Most of them provide no
personal training at all ... unless they charge you for it! If you don’t survive, that’s no big
deal to them. There are 20 others waiting in line to take your place.

THAT is reality. Success is inside YOU. If you start out thinking YOUR achievement
depends on somebody else, you have no hope.

All you can really ask from your upline is that they have developed a good business-
building system, and that they don’t destroy what YOU are building. It’s all about you
becoming the person you need to be, in order to make the income you want to make.

I sponsor people into my business, and I ask them for their WHY ... the reason they
MUST be successful. Some people send it, some don’t. Guess what? The ones that don’t
send it drop out. They quit. They don’t know why they’re doing the business.

It’s not being sponsored by a Superstar Space Commander that’s going to make you
successful. The success is inside YOU!

You definitely want to join a group that has a tested, successful network-building system.
And then it is up to you to use that system to make yourself successful. If you think your
success depends on connecting with some “Heavy Hitter”, then you are in for a very,
very difficult road ahead.

Study People NOT Your Product MLM Mistake 11

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:52:00 +0000

Mistake #11
You study products when you
should be studying people.

Never ever study the amount of mold scraped off a rock on the full moon by a one-eyed
leprechaun. People are your business. People are your product. Learn the Color
personalities. Get the “Color to Success” CD. Learn to listen to people. Get the agenda
out of the way, and pay attention to what your prospect says.

Focusing on people will make all the difference in the world to your business.

Joining A Network Marketing Watch Out for Prelaunch!

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:42:00 +0000

Mistake #9
Totally bamboozled by every shout of
“Prelaunch! Ground Floor Opportunity!”

Some people seem to be forever joining the next ground floor opportunity. And the next
and the next and the next … alluvasudden, somebody who made some money sometime a
long time ago … this one is so good, they came out of retirement for it!

The Blue personality type is especially susceptible to this. (I know – I’m a Blue!) You’re
looking for excitement, and what could be more exciting than something new? So you
just jump, jump, jump, and you’re never in one place long enough to ever build anything.
Unless you own the Fountain of Youth, you’re going to get older, just like the rest of us.
The worst words to hear in network marketing are: “ground floor opportunity”. Over 90%
of the companies that get started, don’t make it 2 years. And most of the rest are gone
after 5 years.

Your chances aren’t much worse playing the lottery.

It’s important to pursue success with a company that has proven it will be around longterm.
Pre-launch deals don’t qualify. Only a very small percentage of them will last even
2 years.

Your benchmark should be at least 2 years. It takes that long to knock the cobwebs out of
it. It takes 2 years to get their ducks in a row, to get their campaigns together, to get
everything approved in different countries, to get warehouses built, and all that stuff.
They’ve already survived a lot of the normal growing pains. They have much better longterm
prospects than any “pre-launch”.Make them prove themselves by being around 2
years before you commit your time & money to that business.

Is Your Business Built on A Solid Foundation?

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:45:00 +0000

Mistake #10
Choosing a company where you don't have

any real hope of long-term success.

Quick cash = quick crash. Normal people can’t sleep at night when they have ripped off
people and stolen their dreams. You have to get this understanding.

Network marketing is a business that can pay you and your children and your children’s
children for the rest of their lives ... when you build it with a “5 Pillars” company. For
details on a “5 Pillars” company, go to “5 Pillars To Success.”

But so many people get sucked in to “build it fast.” I just did a call with a very excited
lady. She’s in a binary and tells me, “Oh, they put me in a spot where I’ve already got
700 people down one leg.”

Good. How much money are you making?

“Well ... none, yet!”

And that is because they don’t pay anything on the strong leg. They pay it on the weak
leg ... which no one will ever give you. You have to build that one. But they’ll promise
you all those people on your strong leg, because it doesn’t cost them anything, and many
people will just sign up because they don’t know any better.

REcruit Recruit Recruit Setting Yourself Up For Failure in Network Marketing

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:30:00 +0000

Mistake #8

Ignoring Marketing Principle #1

Business models drive the behavior in the field. You cannot change the model. You can
only work with it. If your business model creates an atmosphere of “recruit, recruit,
recruit,” you’re setting yourself up for massive failure.

Think about this. Marketing Principle #1 anywhere in the world is that a business sells
products or services for a profit. If your business earns profits by recruiting people …
who recruit people who recruit people who recruit people … THAT is not normal! THAT
is absolutely not sound marketing. THAT will end up getting the attention of the feds.

Companies that only recruit instead of retailing products or services usually have a very
good reason. Which is, their products or services are way over-priced, so no one could
ever actually sell them. Don’t put yourself at that competitive disadvantage

Know Your WHY!!!!

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:23:00 +0000

Mistake #7
Not understanding what
really motivates YOU!

You will quit when you don’t know your “WHY.” When you come on a stumbling block,
maybe it’s a negative in-law or something, and you have a 71% WHY, but you hit a 72%
impediment, you’re done. You are toast.

But when you have a “kick-butt” WHY out in front of you, you will never, never quit.

Are You Going After Friends and Family? STOP

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:19:00 +0000

Mistake #6
Going after your friends & family.

Your friends & family love you. And they want to save you from this bad thing called
MLM ... and they know nothing about it.

Here’s my belief: go build your business. Talk to like-minded people, target your market,
build your business, get into positive cash, get your car allowance, whatever your
company offers ... and your family will still be there. Go talk to them after you already
have built a positive cash flow.

Or talk to them about your products. Maybe you have awesome products they can buy
from your website. Do that.

But do NOT talk to them about a business! Don’t do it.

Here’s what’s magical. When you’re in positive cash, you walk differently. You talk
differently. You have this attitude, this positive-ness. And your friends & family will
want a part of that. They cannot tell you, “This doesn’t work” when it’s working. You’re driving your new bonus car, or you won a company-paid trip to Italy, how can they tell
you it doesn’t work?

To be long-term successful, you will need a marketing system anyway. You will have to
be able to tap into the cold market anyway. So you may as well go ahead and set that up
first. Get that working, get successful, and then your friends & family will fall in line.

Target People Who Love MLM

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:14:00 +0000

Richard Dennis Interviews Michael Dlouhy

Mistake #5
Not targeting people who
already know & love MLM.

When you target people who don’t know anything about MLM, you’ll spend all your
time trying to build them a dream, trying to convince them, trying to get them to believe
the way you believe.

It’s kind of like religion. Let’s say you’re a Baptist and I’m a Catholic, and you want to
convert me. Well, good luck! Why try to convert somebody? Just go find somebody
who’s already in your religion, and talk to those people.

Otherwise, you’ll spend all your time trying to motivate somebody, trying to get them to
have a dream ... rather than building your business. When you work with people who
don’t already understand MLM, there’s a good chance they’ll head down the road the
wrong way. Often they’ve heard bad things, and that’s all they’ll focus on.

And so you spend ALL your time trying to change that person’s mind. It’s a waste of
time. What you need to do is find somebody who already has the dream. Your life will go
a lot easier.

Network Marketing is About Relationships

Paul.Sorgi@gmail.com (Paul and Anne) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:05:00 +0000

Richard Dennis Interviews Michael Dlouhy

Mistake #4
You're so desperate you'll recruit
anybody who can fog a mirror.

Network marketing is about relationships, not selling. People feel it when you treat them
as a number. When you have to build that dream for somebody who can barely fog a
mirror, you will spend all your time trying to build them a dream.

Be selective about who you want in your business. My mentor once told me never to sign
up someone unless it was someone who I’d want to go on a one-month cruise with.
THAT is a very good standard for you. Nothing drains your energy faster than trying to
help an unmotivated person build a business.

Life is just too short to waste all that effort.
