Network Marketing | David Wood " Ilearningglobal Out Of Network Marketing

"Today was probably, well, the most unexpected day that I've had in a long time...

...a lot of you know, for the last six months, David Wood have been building a business that he truly believed in called 'ilearningglobal', and it enabled him to live a kind of lifestyle that people only dream of...

...I was able to go from a broke marketing budget, $200 to my name to creating a massive, multiple five figure monthly income and move to Costa Rica.

Well nothing prepared me today for the phone call I got from Glen Anderson. (Glen Anderson was over the network marketing side of iLearningGlobal).

Basically, he told me that the company has decided to 'stop' the network marketing side of the company. Well, basically that snatched away a six figure income in a short phone call.

So David Wood had to make a decision.

Either whine and complain about what happened, and let the momentum that I've created over the last six months disappear into the random abyss of corporations, OR take what I've learned over the last six months building my business online, and KEEP my team together, but with a new focus.

I chose the latter.

Because of acting QUICKLY, and not allowing my ego to get in the way, I was able to create more than six thousand dollars of income in less than 8 hours, and re-build the foundation of what it took me six months to build in my previous company.

Some people question my decision to act quickly. There were hard feelings toward what the company did by a lot of individuals.

But you know what?

None of that matters if you look at what the reality is about what we're REALLY doing in this industry.

We're creating the most valuable asset a person could possibly have, which is not a company, is not a residual income, is not a product, and is not a 'downline'.

The most valuable asset you can have in this industry is your relationships that you develop along the way."

This words spoken by David Wood are so true and I want to congratulate him on showing such wisdom in a time that many people will throw in the towel.

You go my friend...!

Network Marketing | Metaphors And Vocabulary: How To Destroy Your Network ...

Broadly speaking, metaphors are words and phrases we use to provide conceptual understanding of a situation without having to go into excruciating explanations of what happened or how you feel. Now that the anal retentive engineer in me has that out of the way, some explaining is required.

For example, we probably all use the simply metaphor or words of "I feel tired" or simply "I'm tired." The metaphor "describes" or provides meaning to the listener on both our physical and mental condition. The user doesn't have to go into the how or why or even describe the actual physical or mental condition or degree. The listener hears "I'm tired" and provides their own correct interpretation.

But there's a hidden danger in metaphors, the words we use, and many don't even realize the danger exists. We tend to forget that when we use metaphors to describe an event, or ourselves, or how we feel, there's "someone" listening who takes in the meaning of these words and acts on them without our knowledge.

Who is this sneaky bugger listening in to your conversation and acting on the metaphors? Well, to put it simply, it's YOU!

Your subconscious mind listens and acts on every metaphor and word it hears whether it comes out of your own mouth or someone else's. It would be nice if your subconscious took everything it hears with equal weighting, but unfortunately, your subconscious wants to treat your every utterance as the most profound thing it's ever heard. For example, you can tell someone "I'm ugly" and they could respond with "No, you're not." Guess which one your subconscious accepts as gospel and which one it ignores?

And the subconscious will act on a word or metaphor no matter how stupid or foolish it is. If you make an observation like "I can't do this," the subconscious takes this thought as a command and will ensure that you can't ever do "this" no matter what.

Think of what these words can do to your network marketing or multi level marketing business. When we use works like "try," "can't," "don't believe," "don't know," and a host of others, we're basically commanding our subconscious to fulfill and ensure these thoughts become reality.

Metaphors really come into play when we use them as an equation. "Life is a bowl or cherries" or "Life is a dance" are metaphors just like "Life sucks." What message does the subconscious take from the first two as opposed to the last? The first two offer some positive possibilities and promises. Cherries are sweet and juicy. Sure, there are some pits, but they can be avoided with some simple planning - don't chew on the pits. "Life is dance" suggest coordinated physical movement that looks beautiful (subjectively).

"Life sucks" is a metaphor that offers only the negative promise of repeated failure.

How about this one: "I'll try." Try? That's about as positive as "maybe." Both accept the failure outcome BEFORE success is even given a shot at succeeding.

I could go on, but I think you get the point. Tony Robbins, in "Awakening the Giant Within" and "Lessons in Mastery," goes into a lot more detail on metaphors and the vocabulary we use and provides a number of ways to change what we say. Basically, what he recommends comes down to 2 corrections:

1.Recognize the negative words and metaphors we use
2.Stop using them

It's not as simple as it sounds. Our metaphors and vocabulary become our friends over time, and we don't like to abandon our friends. But if we can replace our negative or neutral metaphors and words with outrageously positive ones, we can over time change.

Here's a simple but effective start: when asked "how are you" respond with "Excellent!" rather than the neutral "OK, I guess." And don't just utter it, FEEL the excellence! Repeat this often and you'll find the subconscious will play along.

Running a home business is hard enough; you want your subconscious helping you to the fullest extent possible. Leave the negative metaphors and words behind. Actively choose positive words and metaphors and you'll change your life and business for the better.

"Just do it!"

Network Marketing | Negative People, There's No Place For Them In Network Marketing

In Network Marketing, these people will be a detriment to your team and death to your business. They will destroy your morale and the morale of your team in a very short time with the poison that comes out of their mouth. It's their objective to bring other people down so they can have company to share in their misery. If this is allowed to go on, negativity will spread like a cancer throughout your entire downline. Really, it's best to avoid these negative people altogether and you certainly should never try to recruit one of them. You don't want them on your team. They won't be teachable. In fact, they will find fault in whatever you do try to teach them. And they won't hesitate to voice their disagreement in your team conference calls, no matter who may be present. You don't need them spewing their venom all over your new distributors or on prospects you may have invited to listen in on the call.

I have a name for these negative people. It's fairly descriptive of the kind of damage they can do to your business. I call them "Dream Killers." They will suck the life out of you. Experienced Network Marketers understand the value of surrounding themselves with positive people who will encourage and edify them and their team. They know to avoid the negative crowd. If your Network Marketing Business is going to to be successful, you must surround yourself with positive, successful people and avoid the "Dream Killers." It's as simple as that.

Now I do however, enjoy encountering one of them when doing a training call with a new recruit. I want my trainee to see how I handle the situation. I want them to see that I don't let that "Negative Nellie" get the best of me and that I DO NOT let THEM control the conversation. This accomplished, I then end the call with a comment like "you're right, Network Marketing isn't for you," or "no, you're not a fit for my business and my team." I thank them for their time and hang up. It only takes one call like that to get the point across to my trainee that under no circumstances do they want someone like that on their team! It's a great training lesson. I suggest making good use of it when it presents itself. Better they experience it first, with you, in a controlled environment, than on their own where it can discourage them.

My point is this, negativity breeds negativity. It's counter productive and will destroy anyone who spends much time under it's influence, no matter how experienced they are. It certainly has no place in Network Marketing and if you want your business and team to flourish, it's best to avoid negative people, altogether. Weed them out from the beginning if you can and don't have them as a part of your team. You'll be much better off, for it. Better to surround yourself with "Dream Builders" instead, people who will build you up and want to be built up, themselves. Fill your downline with positive, goal oriented, "Glass Half Full" people and you will grow a successful and profitable Network Marketing Business.
