Remember being afraid of the dark as a kid? Once the lights were on everything was fine.

Well, let’s shed some light on Binary Compensation Plans so we’re not all terrified of them anymore.

Why marketers avoid Binary Compensation Plans, and how to find binary plans that actually pay!

If you’ve ever been burned by a binary compensation plan, welcome home.  See the only company with a binary compensation plan that avoids all the pitfalls of binary plans by clicking here.

The more complicated a plan is, the more that can go wrong.

Success in Network Marketing is not dependent upon how elaborate your marketing plan is.

The more simple it is, the more easily you can teach someone else how to do it and the more easily they will learn it and be able to teach it to someone else.

This applies to Offline and Online methods! Whichever you choose to use, or if you use BOTH!

I reference the Laws of Duplication in this video. This video and that post compliment each other, neither one has to be viewed before the other.

Your Sponsor has zero responsibility for your success.

Your success is totally up to you.

The person that enrolled you has a responsibility to be available to you and to provide you with the tools for you create success in your business.

But they are neither personally responsible nor accountable for the outcome of what you do with the knowledge and tools passed on to you.

As a network marketer and entrepreneur your keys to success are within you. Your sponsor has merely provided you with the car and the knowledge on how to drive it. YOU have to turn the key and start it and put it in drive.

That may sound harsh to you, but remember, I’m the one that tells you what no one else will.

There is a bright side though. The success of your sponsor is linked to your success. It is in their best interest for you to succeed.

Without your success it is more responsibility and work placed on them.

Have you heard this saying: “Would you rather have 100% effort from one person or 1% effort from 100 people?”

It’s much easier to teach 100 people one simple task and have it duplicated than to teach 1 person how to do everything. 100 people means 100 times the available time to perform the tasks.

The sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

This is a business of leverage.

It is simply teaching people how to utilize the time and talents of others. It is a duplication of efforts.

Laws of Duplication:

1. KISS – Keep It Short & Simple – Always ask yourself: Is this something that anyone can do? You want people to see it as easy and that they can do it. If you are over complicating things then no one will be able to duplicate your efforts,,, and no one will want to either. You want people to say “I can do it, and I wouldn’t mind doing it everyday.”

2. It Has To Be Able To Work Anywhere – It needs to be simple enough that someone living in the middle of nowhere with no friends or contacts can duplicate. It needs to be able to work without your continued presence and holding the hand of everyone in your downline.

3. It Has To Be Able To Work For Anyone – The most socially inept person with zero knowledge about network marketing must be able to duplicate your success. People have to be able to have a chance at making network marketing work for them.

4. The Law Of 3rd Party – Whenever you are presenting your business you want anything or anyone other than you presenting your business. Whether that be a guest speaker or an online webinar or a recorded presentation.

This law ties all the others together. You could be an expert on your company’s product, compensation, and history of the founders. But it is still not wise to present all of that info because it takes a long time to gain that knowledge and you want what you do to appear simple, work anywhere, and for anyone. A new person in the company cannot do a full presentation, but they can invite someone to see one.

How you present the business to your prospects is how they are going to be picturing themselves presenting the business.

Randy Gage is very successful in network marketing. He gives presentations of his company all the time. But he does not give presentations to his own prospects. Because he understands that what he does needs to look like it’s super easy to do.

So is your sponsor responsible for your success? No.

But, if they want success of their own, then they are responsible for making sure you are duplicate their success and make yourself victorious. Therefore, as a sponsor and mentor, it is also your responsibility to do the same.

Jonathan Budd breaks down why some have a LOT of success, some have a little, some have none, and some are damn near completely hopeless.

Numbers are a universal language and they just don’t lie.

Jonathan Budd also explains HOW to get to the top of the mountain of success.

How far are you in your climb on the mountain of success?

If you watched this video then you have the Mindset and Heart to make it. Surround yourself with a Mastermind team with the Knowledge, Skill Set, and Networking “know-how” to lift you to the top.

I’ll see you at the top.

You know that every company has the best product,,, just ask them they will all tell you.

Since everyone believes theirs is the best how are you supposed to know which one really is?

And if something is new to the market how can you tell if it’s going to last?

Fad Vs. Trend

Commonly mistaken as synonyms there is a distinct difference between these two terms.

Fad:

Short lived and with no real value to offer society,,, think Backstreet Boys, Beanie Babies, snap bracelets, Clear Pepsi, the Macarena, gigapets, corsets, Crocs, Bellbottoms, Ouija boards and Disco.

Trend:

May take longer to develop but their effect is long lasting and often have a permanent effect on business and culture,,, think of Microsoft, the internet, credit/debit cards, Nintendo, post-its, texting, superstores (like Walmart), fast food, coffee shops/cafes and Guitar Hero,,, ok maybe not Guitar Hero, but I like it,,, they tell me I ROCK!

Today’s fad is tomorrow’s flop.

Tomorrow’s trend is today’s opportunity.

It’s not always easy to spot a trend ahead of time to be able to capitalize on it. Not many people saw how Microsoft was going to take off, but when it did people were kicking themselves for not getting on board at the beginning.

At one time Network Marketing itself was considered a fad. Currently it is a 31 Billion dollar industry with 15 Million people involved in Network Marketing in the US alone. Globally it is a 114 Billion dollar industry with 63 million Network Marketers.

Even still though there are critics of Network Marketing.

When anything new starts to trend it faces criticism. There are 3 phases before something is deemed to be real and successful.

First it faces ridicule. People make fun of it because they don’t understand it.

Second, it faces violent opposition. People become critics because they don’t want to be look foolish because originally they made fun and laughed at an idea or opportunity.

Last, it becomes self evident.

Once it is self evident there is no more need to supply the burden of proof and defend the truth. All those who still attack the truth are considered either ignorant, foolish or just plain argumentative and have no regard whether anything is right or wrong, they just like to argue.

It has now become self evident that business is now commonly performed through Networking. Both offline with breakfast meetings and social receptions organized for and by local business owners through BNI and Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. And also online through Facebook, LinkedIn, Meetup and Myspace.

But there are still people that are resistant to Network Marketing. One of the biggest reasons they are hesitant to join a company is because of the product. Most companies offer ‘me-too’ products that fall into several predictable categories, nutrition, weight loss, skin care, telecommunications, household items, super-juices, and the like. The truth is that most people simply can’t justify purchasing those types of products through the means of Network Marketing when the products are available elsewhere, and quite often for less money.

Further, these companies often face fierce competition because there is more than one company promoting very similar products. Those looking from the outside in can’t see the difference between Juice A and Juice B, therefore they don’t join either.

So what if there was a Network Marketing company that had a unique product with zero competition. Wouldn’t it make natural sense to join that company over another? On top of having zero competition, what if that company had exclusive rights to that market without the risk of another company moving in and selling the same product? What if the product was a tangible asset that would last for years and not end up as an empty bottle of vitamins or lotion.

Now that sounds like a company that has recognized a trend and has satisfied the need of marketers that can’t justify joining yet another juice or pill company.

There is nothing wrong with joining one of the traditional product MLM companies, but since they don’t stand out for themselves, then it means even more work for the marketer promoting the product. The network marketers has to have a VERY powerful, compelling and convincing story about why they chose that company.

Because in the end, it’s not about what YOU like, it’s about what the CONSUMER is attracted to.

Whether you like the product and think it’s the coolest thing ever is only part of the equation. Others have to see value in it and want it, this is more important than your own desires in a product.

Highly successful entrepreneurs are able to recognize trends early and are able to find ways to fill the want and needs of the market rather than their own personal wants. This is the difference between a fad and a trend, and the difference between an idea and an opportunity.

Finding a company with a unique product that suits the needs of the network marketing industry is increasingly difficult and rare.

There is a strong need for a very important clarification in Network Marketing.

I recently was approached by someone speaking about their marketing community that had an excellent team synergy. I congratulated them on finding such a team, it’s one of the more important factors in marketing. A strong team will keep others motivated and focused.

They continued to tell me about what their team does, which is fine with me, I like to keep up on what other marketers are doing in the industry. As they explained, I realized we weren’t in the same industry at all.

What they were involved in was Cash Gifting. It is VERY important for all marketers to know that Cash Gifting is NOT Network Marketing.

What is Cash Gifting?
Simply put it is the transfer of cash, in the form of a gift, with nothing gained in return from the person it is being gifted to. The cash moves up, so more people are needed to join in the cash gifting program to maintain the flow of cash.

Cash gifting is often called a Ponzi scheme, named for Charles Ponzi, and promises an impossibly high investment return in a short period of time. Investments are regulated by the SEC and any found to be fraudulent can be shut down and there are criminal penalties for those who engage in these illegal investment acts. Therefore, cash gifting programs avoid using the words “investment”.

Most cash gifting programs involve a system that requires a membership on top of the cash gift to cover the costs of promoting the system. The particular “team” that I was approached with required a $20 fee for the promotion of the team. The team would help assist new “gifters” in the recruit of the gifters that they needed to bring into the program.

The team is willing to give this assistance because in a cash gifting program the money first goes to the top of the program to pay off those who entered first. Without the recruit of new gifters the entire system would collapse. With no product or service involved in the cash gifting program it falls under the terms “Ponzi Scheme”, which also has been interchangeable with the term “Pyramid Scheme”.

That is why it is important to know the difference between cash gifting and Network Marketing. There is no product involved in cash gifting and cannot be marketed to anyone on a “customer” level. A cash gifting team promotes themselves by invitation only, just as I was invited, but there is NO product involved.

Cash gifting eventually fails because of the ever growing need of people to fill up the system and send money up to those at the top. Once those at the top are paid off their promised return amount then those below them can begin receiving their cash gifts.

People at the bottom of the system wait until there are more people recruited to refill the system.

The system I was invited to required a $100 gift to be given. Then to complete the level in the system enough people would have to be recruited to finish paying the person I gifted, then recruits would be added under me until I received $400. Each of those 4 people that gave me the $400 would need 4 each. And then those 16 would each need 4.

After I reached $400 I would gift $200 to the person above me. And then my next promised gift amount I would be eligible to receive would be $800. The number of gifters required to fill this level in system get even bigger.

These systems rely on the people at the top to rejoin. Even with their return eventually the number of gifters needed becomes so ridiculous that the whole system collapses and this is why so many people cry out SCAM! Because the large number of people at the bottom never receive anything out of the program.

There is no opportunity for any commissions to be earned off of outside sales and there is no residual income available. Cash gifting relies solely on recruiting, therefore it is not to be confused with Network Marketing.

Your response will dictate your success in your MLM so think about this before you answer.

Have you taken full ownership of your MLM business and assumed the responsibility of making it a success?

I hope you aren’t a renter. These are the people that decided to join an MLM opportunity to “try” it out. If you are “trying” and “hoping” that it works, just quit now.

I’m not joking. I’m the one that tells you what no one else will… remember?

This is a business. There’s no “rent to own” program here either.

Get yourself in the mindset to take on full responsibility and OWN it. Make it yours and make the dedication, commitment, choice, promise, devotion,,, whichever word works for you and OWN your MLM.

Renting doesn’t give the full sense of pride. There’s a huge difference between renting and apartment and owning a home. If something happens to the apartment, you can just move and forfeit the deposit. When something happens to your house, it’s up to you to fix it.

So….. Do you RENT or OWN your MLM?

This may have happened to you and you aren’t even aware of it. A staggering amount of Americans have fallen for this scam. Those that are trapped in the snare of this scam have no clue it exists and therefore don’t know how to get themselves out of the trap they are in.

Worse yet, when confronted with the scam people deny that there is a way out and that they are even caught up in a scam. The scam is that good. The scam has brainwashed people that well. Chances are you have fallen for this scam because you were presented with it a vulnerable time in your life and you felt it was your only hope. Since it is likely that you have fallen for it then chances are you have been brainwashed by it, and will most likely deny that it is a scam.

It is hard to say who first fell for the scam or who invented it. That is how long it has been around and it further proves how effective the scam is. Although I do not know the historical origins of the scam, I can outline how it works.

It starts with a company that has a brilliant product idea. The owners of the company believe that the marketplace cannot live without this product. However, the business owner cannot possibly distribute his exceptional product to the world on his own. He must recruit others to do that for him.

So the business owner takes his new recruits and begins to sell his fantastic product to the masses. As his product reaches the public the demand for the product increases and he must recruit new distributors for his fantastic product. He promotes his top producing distributors and turns them into recruiters as well.

More people join under the businessman. The businessman can now sit back and watch all of the recruits doing all the work. The recruits work their little butts off with little reward except for the occasional pat on the head and a little plaque that says “good job”. The recruits create a life full of debt and stress for themselves working hard to create a big profit for the businessman that sits at the top of the company reaping all the benefits of those doing all the work down the long line of recruits below.

The scam that has been created allows the few people at the top to make money and provide a rich lifestyle for their families. The people that are doing the hardest and dirtiest work at the bottom of the scheme have no chance at an opportunity to reach the level of those at the top. There is no room for them to advance. And those that got in at the top are the only ones making any money.

You might know one of these people at the bottom of the scheme. In fact you probably are one, and you don’t even know it. They have a special name for the millions of people that are stuck in the bottom of this scheme. EMPLOYEE.

The EMPLOYEE is stuck as a prisoner for 30 to 40 years working for the company that makes the owner rich. Then as a reward at the end they get to retire and be broke. It’s the biggest scam in history. And I’m sorry to say that the statistics aren’t in your favor, and that you are probably one of the millions that have been duped by this scam.

It is my sincere apologies that you were suckered in while you were at your most vulnerable and still a child. It is a shame that the people you trusted most, your parents and teachers, exposed you to this scam. I’m sure they told you for years to get a good education so you could get a good job.

There is still good news. Because you are now being exposed to this scam you have a chance. You now have an opportunity to get out of the scheme and take charge. You can leave behind your status as employee and change it in for ENTREPRENEUR.

The idea that Narc That Car is an MLM Network Marketing opportunity makes my mind go blank, and a little numb. The only words I can think are “What the ????” Narc That Car is an example of just how crazy our world is. I might be ranting a bit here, but I’m feeling adamant.

The idea of the Narc That Car opportunity is for members of this MLM to document the location of vehicle license plate numbers. They get to be active members of the stalkerazzi and big brother. The information that they gather is then for sale. The plate number can be searched and then the location can be known by purchasing the logged information.

The benefit of placing this information for sale through Narc That Car is for lien holders to be able to locate the collateral vehicle on a defaulted loan. Another benefit is to help law enforcement in tracking offenders, people who have skipped bail or have not reported to probation/parole. What really sells people on the idea is using Narc That Car in conjunction with Amber Alert.

What this means for the law abiding typical citizen is that if there are Narc That Car members in your area, then your daily activities are going to be on sale for the world to purchase. Your driving habits will be known to anyone willing to pay for it. My guess is there are more predators willing to pay for this info than there are law enforcement agencies and lien holders. That’s creepy.

Do you stop to check your PO Box at the same time everyday? What about stopping to pick up a coffee? Rent a video? Pick up a prescription or dry cleaning? Do you leave your car running? Do you leave your child in the car? It’s only for a minute right? If there is a Narc That Car member in your area, these habits of yours are possibly logged on their website. Anyone looking to target you away from home is going to have an easy time of it. They don’t have to risk being seen following you, they can just pay for it!

And someone is getting paid to do provide this information.

Looking at Narc That Car shows that it is a legit way to make money. It’s not really an invasion of privacy since your vehicle is out in public for anyone to see.

It doesn’t seem like a very profitable way to make money though. For every minimum 10 license plates a member inputs per month they receive $25 – $75 compensation. There are promotional bonuses as a member signs up other Narc That Car members and teaches them how to be a Narc. As members work their way up in manager status they see larger commissions. When a Narc signs up a client (someone who purchases and uses the Narc info) they also receive compensation.

I don’t like to bash on MLM companies. I support the idea of commissioned sales. If there is a product I need or want and I can get it through direct sales, I do. I’m a supporter of marketers in other companies because I believe in this industry and I like to see an MLM distributor make a commission off of a sale rather than a massive corporate conglomerate. It’s rare that I come across an MLM opportunity that I cannot and will not support.

If you are looking to join the MLM industry ask yourself these two questions about every opportunity you find:

1. Does the company make me feel good and am I proud to support and sell the product?

2. Will I have access to marketing training?

Up front I should say that I am not part of Jay Kubassek’s business CarbonCopyPRO. Nothing against Jay or the incredible system he has put together. I use a different system because CarbonCopyPRO just wasn’t the right fit for me.

But I have immense respect for Jay Kubassek and have learned more from his example than from anyone else involved in network marketing. Jay is someone with unbelievable integrity and has a greater vision in life than just making money.

The most commonly found vision of Jay that is found on the internet is his dedication to help create 100 millionaires by 2012. In fact he has stated that he will settle for no less than 100 millionaires. His intention is not to create money hungry millionaires, but ones with integrity, dignity and vision.

1. Be a person of value. Jay asks the question “What do I offer society that is worth a million dollars?” This really sticks with me because if I’m not giving anything to society that is of value then I don’t deserve to receive anything in return. Most people go through life as “consumers” yet they feel entitled. Give value to the world and it will give to you in return.

2. Be passionate about what you are doing. This goes hand in hand with intent and integrity. If your intent is only to make a buttload of money without providing anything of worth to people then just forget about being successful. The people that are truly passionate about what they are doing make the greatest amount of money. I’m sure Donald Trump appreciates having his money, but his first love is Real Estate. Read his book “The Art of The Comeback” and you can see that he was more in love with the buildings of New York and keeping them true to their architectural beauty than he was with making millions off of them. He made millions because he didn’t make deals just for a quick buck, he worked with integrity and passion.

3. Know what you are worth and don’t settle for any less until you get it. Don’t be happy to take whatever you are given. Set an amount that your time and talents are worth and don’t stop til you get there. Jay also taught that once you reach that amount; don’t be happy there either. Raise the bar. You made it that far, so keep going.

4. Put a time limit on it. The greatest plays made in sports are during the last few minutes. People do great work under pressure. Don’t work with the thought of “someday”. Put a date on it. Declare what you are going to accomplish and when. Make it final and expect it to happen.

5. Think like a millionaire. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. It doesn’t mean that you sit around thinking about buying cool stuff and rolling around in piles of money. It means to stop listening to the people around you that aren’t millionaires. Are you seriously going to take advice on how to make money from someone that has none? Didn’t think so. Make a commitment to success and focus on your vision of what success is.

I have tremendous respect for Jay Kubassek and what he is doing. By his example I learned how to be a person of value that has integrity in everything I do. I am someone that is psychologically unemployable because I have put a dollar amount on myself that no employer could ever compete with. This is what I was taught by a guy that used to sell mufflers at Midas.
