If You Don’t Control Your Leads, You Don’t Have A Business.

This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. When I got started in the network marketing industry, I got plugged into the marketing system I was using that revolved around purchasing recruiting leads.

Although I was able to build a business rather fast, I built a 1/2 a million dollar a year business in 6 months thru using this system, something just didn’t sit quite right as I was spending more each month that I was earning.

After 2 years, I had to take a step back and evaluate what I was doing, and that’s when I determined that this was no way to build a business long term.

And when I left that marketing system, guess what happened to the $20,000 worth of leads I had bought- I lost them because they were being controlled by the system, not me.

And all that money, all that time and energy spent and I was left to start from scratch.

So one of my top lessons I learned, was you don’t really have a business if you aren’t in control of your own leads.

Is the Law of Attraction all a big Hoax?

I first came across the Law of Attraction when it went mainstream back in January 2007.

I have to say, it was the perfect time. Learning the Law of Attraction and The Secret, made me once again feel empowered that I was in control of my life and I could accomplish anything I wanted.

All I had to do was unleash it from within.

2 months later, my little munchkin, princess, was diagnosed with a “terminal” disease that in fact my cousins’s dog had just suddenly died from months before.

So needless to say, I was scared.

But, I had just seen The Secret and knew that I could heal my dog and I had the power to do so with my mind.

I am happy to report that just recently I received blood work that she is completely normal. I used the Law of Attraction to bring people into my life to help me heal my baby, Princess.

The reason I wanted to share my story of The Law of Attraction is because at a time where the world is suffering, people are in pain, scared and feeling out of control…

I hope that my message will empower people to understand we do have control of our lives, and I want to help people see that.

I have used the Law of Attraction to bring to me people and sales out of thin air.

I can recount one time where I had like 1 hour to qualify for a monthly promotion and all I said was,

Universe send me someone. I will make this qualification.

And within that hour someone I had never spoken to before, contacted me and signed up right on the spot.

I have done this time and time again and so I believe 150% in the power of myself and the law of attraction.

MLM Lies Exposed: MLM Makes Millionaires Overnight

First, I want to be clear. I love the network marketing industry, I believe 150% that you can build a successful mlm business and really use this industry to change your life.

I wanted to share my experience, how I bought into the hype at first and my disappointment in realizing it was not true.

But, when I realized the truth about network marketing- that it’s just a business, plain and simple, I realized it was about building a business long term.

I’m extremely grateful for having found The Million Mind March, Joe Schroeder, Diane Hochman and My Private Classroom.

What I have learned thru working with these two wonderful mentors, is that I just needed to learn and grow.

I learned real marketing. Not the going to family and friends, or buying leads marketing.

And I have worked on my own personal development, prosperity thinking and as a result have been able to build a solid business.

My study is ongoing and as I achieve different levels of success, it’s necessary to continue to work on my prosperity consciousness and developing myself.

So my message is, the network marketing industry is awesome, it’s just MLM doesn’t Make Millionaires Overnight.

MLM is just a business.

A Business Will Not Last Based On Money

I was just reading The Alpha Code By Joe Schroeder, which is one of my favorite manuals because it’s all about the psychological nature of people and the study of human behavior and how this relates to business.

And I was reading a section where Joe talks about how a business cannot last if it’s root is based on earning money. A business will only last if there is a message for people to believe in.

I thought about how many programs I have seen pop up in the past 15 months in this industry and I can name a few that popped up, a few people made a lot of money quick, but then it fizzled out and disappeared.

They disappeared because there was no message behind the program and everyone was running around promoting the business as- You can make money”.

There was no substance, there was no message or purpose for people to believe in the business and that’s why I fizzled.

And I think of The Million Mind March and how my belief in it’s message has kept me a loyal member and given me the stand to continue to bring people to the community- because I believe in it’s purpose and message.

A Business Is Built on the Intangibles

I was just reading one of my marketing manuals,
The Alpha Code written by Joe Schroeder, founder of The Million Mind March and I came across a section that discusses Intangibles.

Meaning, that a business is really built on the intangibles, aspects you can’t see, but feel.

And I thought about myself and my own memebership in The Million Mind March.

And it’s true, my belief and continued membership in this community is based on it’s intangibles- the founder, Joe Schroeder and the message behind The Million Mind March.

It’s not based on the 1-2-3 marketing.
