“Mr. Anderson, Are You Duplicating Properly in your Network Marketing Business?”

Posted on by

Industry leader Eric Worre, coined a phrase I love to repeat. “It’s not what you can do that matters but what duplicates.” As an noted author, speaker, networking leader and mlm millionaire I 100% agree with him. We all know that duplication is magic. It’s THE key to building a stable team, long term growth and a thriving organization. But if that is the case and Eric is so right, why then is there such a massive statistic of failure that still persists in our great industry? In this blog post I will address the top 4 fatal errors many reps and leaders make which cost them fortunes. I’ll also highlight 5 core principles that all duplicating leaders do without fail. I firmly believe it’s not so much a question of are you duplicating, but are you duplicating properly?

From day one when a rep registers, enrolls or is sponsored into a network marketing opportunity, it begins. The process that cannot always be seen starts taking shape. Usually how a rep is brought get started  is how they themselves will build. So goes the head so goes the tail. While this seems harmless and logical, it can be the biggest hindernace and challenge that rep will ever face in their mlm career. You see it’s not the negative or even skeptical prospects that poses the greatest threat of success for reps. On the contrary it is not being taught from the start ‘how to duplicate properly’. So here are 4 corrosive thought processes you want to avoid and how to tell you if you’re not duplicating properly.

The Well-Meaning Lone Ranger Mentality. This rep or wannabe  leader sees growth one way. Only produced by themselves. They view their business as a solo sport instead of a posse business. They feel compelled to do everything their way to the degree where they control everything. There is little to no communication and their upline leaders are the last to know. They tend to be all managerial and less leader. They use pressure rather than people skills and intimidate instead of inspire. At the end of the day the very thing they have mastered is ultimately what they are left with -themselves. You definitely do not want to build a lone ranger business.

Re-inventing the wheel and short-cutting a proven system. There’s always room for creativity, change and innovation, but the non-duplicating rep is obsessed and  tries to re-invent or outdo something already proven, working and getting results- and all for a wrong motive. Many times it is not even for results, it’s merely for the personal . I’m the first to endorse improvements but change just for change sake creates confusion and confusion stops growth. Change is truly best when needed. However when the selfish motive for that change is made just for approval or validation, you have a rep that is overcompensating for a serious void that something else needs to fill. Understand that network marketing IS the short cut from having to work 45 years by simply working smart 2-5yrs. If someone claims to have a better idea or method, ask them to show you their results (first) before you alter in any way the success of what you’re doing.

Leaders’ Egos that get in the way of their own growth. This by far is one of the biggest pitfalls and perpetrators of mlm demise. The leader who cannot get his ego in check. It’s too big and in the way all the time. They refuse to work harmoniously and cannot seem to remain inclusive and embrace the contribution of others on the team. Typically what happens is a inter-personal situation comes to a boil and that leader either costs others their dream or they foolishly blow themselves out of the water and opportunity.We all have egos as leaders which is why we seek entrepreneurialism but the problem arises when for some they grow over-sized and unhealthy that they inevitably get in their way of success.

Deliberately breeding confusing in your team. Of the previous scenarios outlined, this one has got to be the most foolish and blatantly stupid. While no leader guilty of this violation would ever admit they willfully intended to kill their momentum and stunt their growth, it has been done far to often. For most it comes from a place of over zealousness and introducing too many ideas and multiple programs to their team. Sadly there are few who out right succumb to pure greed and reckless ethics. Either way this slow acting poison tends seep everywhere and leads to this: massive confusion, lost focus, distracted vision, demolished dreams and reduced retention. But by obeying this 1 cardinal rule, you’ll be golden. “Never use or take advantage of your team for profit but rather train them to duplicate, build and teach and you will reap the proper benefits a network marketing business done right produces.”

Now that we have given you what doesn’t duplicate properly, let us outline for you the 5 healthy thought processes of true duplicating mlm leaders. These habits and solid ethics are so evident that you cannot help but see them demonstrated without fail in any top producers regardless of company. See if you identify the following  in yourself

1. Duplicating leaders do first what the team hasn’t done or won’t do. These reps do what everyone else talks about doing. They prioritize and do the income producing activities and never the the busy non-producing kind. They never make excuses and are always first to apply new information and trainings. They know one speed and that is lead.
2. Duplicating leaders don’t wait for but take leadership. These reps are not waiting for a feeling. They create the feeling. They do not believe in a special breaks or luck or chance. They are guided by the fact that of another leader has done it (if they duplicate) they an have it too.
3. Duplicating leaders don’t wait for things to happen. They are not passive. These reps are pro-active. They see their actions as powerful ones. Not transactional ones ony but transformational ones that lead to futures being altered and generations being impacted. They know if they wait or fail to do, a life may prevented from being affected powerfully.
4. Duplicating leaders constantly communicate to their leaders. These reps know the true art of communicating. Keeping the lines above all across their team and above all with their upline leaders. They know that what they do, will be duplicated and if they set a bad example of not keeping their leaders in the loop, the same fate will befall them downline. Talking on regular basis with their upline leader keeps the information flowing and unity strong in their businesses.
5. Duplicating leaders are always positive-minded. There is not one of these reps who has team growth and organizational success that promotes negativity or negative energy. As a matter of fact they constantly work on their mindset with positive mental attitude books, attending events and stay in coaching so that the best of personal growth flows into and out of their organization. Show me a top producing duplicating leader and I’ll show you a positive person.

Now you have the clear guidelines of “what not to do” and “what to do” to remain or become a truly duplicating leader. Remember Eric’s quote “it’s not what you can do that matters, it’s what duplicates.” Make today the first day of the rest of your career in network marketing, where you will begin duplication PROPERLY!

Why You Should Be Winning & Want To Win in Your Network Marketing Opportunity

Posted on by
Reply

There is a phrase I have always remembered when we talk about winning. It’s from one of my favourute authors in the arena of leadership and personal development, John C Maxwell. John says this: “Winning isn’t everyhthing, but wanting to win is.” I think this is very accurate statement and today I want to share three big reasons why, if you are in network marketing company that  you should want to win, especially if your company like ours gives away amazing opportunities to do win regularly. Let’s start.

Right now in our company, there is yet another huge opportunity to win four days in Beautiful Cancun Mexico at this resort. Any executive  in our program can by enrolling only 4 new reps can win a free all-inclusive vacation. If they enroll 6 they can bring  friend spouse or loved one with them. It is a sweet deal, but the point of this blog is this: Can you do it? Do you believe or have the faith and seal-confidence to win? click HERE

I believe you do and if you don’t you will after this blog. There are 3 things that happen when we do as John Maxwell says, “want to win”

1.You challenge yourself:  Most people have never done this. Most network marketers have never had this done either. But the power of a properly place self challenge produces amazing things. You see you go to a place you have never been or considered. You rise in your imagination to brand new heights and start achieving and expecting higher results from your self. If you have not challenged your old mindset that typically settles for, today is your day to start.

#2 You raise belief in self and others. By committing to win and seeing yourself as a “winner’ you raise belief, faith or in a better words. EXPECTATION of GREATNESS in your self. That’s only half the process. Those around you who see you start increasing your belief, are now inspired to start raising theirs and soon you have them believing more for themselves a a result. So why win? so you can help yourself and others raise belief in themselves!!

Finally, #3 You take a way every excuse. When you win and commit to being a winning type of person, you will undoubtedly squash and annihilate every limp lame excuse why ya person cannot succeed. There is nothing more powerful than the mindset shift that occurs when achievement  has occurred but truly while achieving is taking place.

Are you achieving right now? If not why aren’t you? I hope you have a clear vision of why it is so important and essential to commit to winning. It’s not just for the obvious elation or feeling that comes from it, but truly what one BECOMES through it.

The recent standings of our company’s scoreboard is exciting as over 45 reps have already won this amazing trip. More exciting are the multiple reps within our team that will be joining Eva & I there in Mexico. See contest winner  list HERE  If you’re name isn’t on the list, let’s help you get it on there.

If you want to win  and keep winning, connect with me personally today and I can show you how to start by winning a free 4 day trip to Cancun Mexico!

Remember winning isn’t everything, BUT wanting to is. Let’s start the process of winning today!!

The Secret of How MLM Team Momentum is Created

Posted on by
7

MLM Team momentum is truly created. It’s not automatic. If you have ever been inside of a network marketing company for any length of time you know that there is a marked difference between a group that sponsors and a team that has momentum. Webster’s dictionary defines momentum as: The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. By now you remember the formula from physics class. P = M x V This same equation holds true in network marketing. I will outline several points here in the blog on how you not only can start growing your personal business but how you can get to a place where you experience TEAM MOMENTUM.

The first commitment toward getting team momentum is to get a team in place. Seems pretty logical, right? So this means personally enrolling others into your business. You won’t have a team by yourself.  However, by using the various  methods we promote and  have posted here in this blog, you can accomplish this simply. Either using CD’s brochures, webinars, live one-on-one meetings, hotel presentations or recorded information you can easily enroll reps starting this week into your business.

Once reps have started their own business and joined your team, it is important not to leave your growth to chance or fluke. By providing a orientation session online or live a training you can facilitate the actions required for growth and get your new team member set up for success. Things like a welcome call in 24 hrs is vital. Other things would be determining their why, assisting them to write out a 100 name contact list, making 3-way calls to book appointments, booking a 1st PBR (as we teach in our company) and of course helping them in 30 days or less make $200 by getting them sliver eagle qualified.

Now that your new rep is taking action, the real art  in creating momentum is being able to teach what they have just done and being able to replicate that same action and result over and over and over again across the bigger team. Going back to our definition of momentum above, to paraphrase it’s about getting every member of  team 1) moving as 2) as fast as possible. So here is  key strategy that enables both of these things to take place.

HOST REGULAR or WEEKLY TRAINING EVENTS FOR REPS ON YOUR TEAM 
Prospects require presentations but reps need training – and for several reasons. By training your reps regularly you will add to their knowledge base and expertise without them having to delay or make the same mistakes others have made that slow down growth. The other purpose of consistent training is to “raise belief” When you can corporately raise belief across a team instead of just a few reps, you wil begin setting a stage for momentum. More team members begin to take action and now instead of independent sporadic success you have a wave of success occurring while duplication catches like wild fire. Such is the case on our very own BigWave Team happening currently. Once that momentum is visible, it is now easy for anyone new or old to be a part of it. For just like the momentum that a snowball has moving down a glacier, it quickly attracts to itself the same dynamic energy and not before long develops into an avalanche! 

You see, momentum builds first in the minds of players and participant (reps) and then manifests physically. Any team, whether sports, financial or mlm whenever it is fully unified with belief, there is no doubt those individuals can break records and accomplish quantum results. For a network marketing team they will always enroll more distributors (reps) and make history anywhere, any time and in any economic climate.

If you want to experience more momentum personally and in your team, start attending and promoting regular trainings locally, nationally, online and offline. Focus on raising belief as often as you can with stories and examples of other members growth inside your own team. Never forget that action produces results and success stories dissolve excuses!

Are You Courageous Enough To Truly Pursue Your Dream?

Posted on by

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” -Walt Disney

No quote was ever more true than those words spoken by one of the greatest dreamers who ever lived. His story is one of dedication, motivation, inspiration AND HARD FREAKIN’ WORK! (gotcha there didn’t I) LOL

My recent trip to NU7 where many of my fellow reps and business partners traveled to to learn how to grow their teams was very fruitful. While we had hours on in session inspiration and practical hands on learning, this one lesson I discovered, I just had to record and share with you.

The very location of our training was in Orlando Florida, home of legendary and magical Disney World. Only a few miles from the famous theme park I learned that the entire property including where our luxurious Caribe Royale Hotel was built on was once all swamp land. Imagine that! What once existed only as mud and marshlands, today has transformed because of the power of one man’s dream. Here are the exact dimensions of what Walt Disney dreamed and manifested into reality with the remarkable facts to go with it.

I’ told the Walt Disney property is the world’s most-visited entertainment resort. Located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, it’s approximately 21 miles (34 km) southwest of Orlando, Florida. The resort covers an area of 30,080-acre (47.00 sq mi; 121.7 km2) and includes four theme parks, two water parks, 23 on-site themed resort hotels (excluding eight more that are on-site, but not owned by the Walt Disney Company) Included are a campground, two spas and physical fitness centers, five golf courses, and other recreational venues and entertainment which opened on October 1, 1971 since that time they have added the Magic Kingdom theme park and Epcot.

It really is amazing when you grasp the scope of this place -Walt’s dream came true.
In the below video I share the lesson I learned as I walked the property and city that Walt’s dream took shape and came alive in. It is a lesson we as entrepeneurs can continue to draw courage, hope and insight from. While so many people feel like a dream is weak and dreamers are passe, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Dreams are all around us even now as you read this blog on your computer, mobile device or tablet. Everything you touch daily is a product of a dreamer and evidence that someone never gave up on their ideas but had the courage to pursue it. Do you have the courage today to dream on?

Today , commit that you will  do these 3 things: 1) Identify like Walt YOUR dream 2) you will not let any person positive or negative steal it. and 3) have the guts to work your tail to manifest it. Then millions and millions of people, couples and families, from around the world will travel to see what you made into reality and see you were right.

I leave you with Walt’s own words…share this with someone who you think needs to believe in their dreams a bit more.

My Lesson from a #1 Dreamer

Back From Our FREE Mexico Cruise w Company Leaders & Memories Galore

Posted on by

Eva and I just got back a few days from being aboard Royal Caribbean’s luxurious Jewel of the Seas for 6 days. We were there with approx 206 business partners in our network marketing company Numis Network and boy oh boy  it was a experience that will go down in the history books for years to come. I knew it was going to loads of fun, laughter, good times and memories but it was even better than I had anticipated. Another reason you just cannot afford to miss any future trips. Here in this blog post that has been several days overdue I will highlight some memorable moments as best I can to give you a taste of the week long party! But before I do,  just what is a memory and why is it so essential?

A memory is a moment. A memory tells a story. A memory is deeply personal. It is your experience. It’s one that you and you alone keep and treasure for lifetime which no person can ever take from you. It’s also waterproof, fire-proof and damage-proof so no matter what anyone else says or thinks, it stays secure in your possession forever. And just why is this so vital as you build your business? Well, because these memories you create will shape you and your future. This is exactly what a week aboard Jewel of The Seas on the on The Gulf of Mexico having a blast with 200 plus friends was all about for those who attended.

Here’s a list of just some of the fun-filled and dynamic events we enjoyed. On our first evening we had a meet & greet reception for all the cruise winners on Sat night as we pulled away from Tampa. Over chilled champagne we all of us got together and celebrated each other for doing what it took to earn the trip. We also congratulated several special people on their new wedding engagements and wedding anniversaries. Many that were long overdue. What a special way to celebrate that right? The next morning we assembled casually and were impacted by a powerful training to equip us to become better business builders and leaders. VP of our companies’ marketing dept, Matt DiMaio empowered us all with how to create a better memory and powerful mind. WOW!! After dinner where we feasted on some amazing gourmet dishes and after some returned to the casino to try and win some more money, others went to boogy and dance up a storm in the night club. Others found bliss winding down the night with a nice romantic walk hand in hand with their loved one on the top deck of our 130,000 ton cruise liner under the stars of the night sky.

The next couple days were spent at port relaxing, reminiscing and recharging. Personally we drove out to a beautiful beach resort called Paradise Island in Cozumel and the next day we headed to Tequila Beach in Puerto Costa Maya. Both days we just lay back and soaked up the sun, built friendships, dreamed bigger while having amazing conversations in the tropical ocean air. Some reps got ocean side massages for hours, others paddle boated with their kids while others kayaked to cool off. But what we all did and was something I was truly was excited to see the group participate in was actually for me the #1 highlight of the entire week.What was it you ask? Personal testimonial videos. Almost everyone who won the trip recorded their own heart felt testimonial video. I had never seen this happen before as a company.We had our very own company camera crew capture in the word of the qualifiers the true essence of what this business means to us all. We all shared live on camera (on the ship & at the beaches) just what the lifestyle experience of being part of the is this company/team of leaders was doing in our lives and for our families. Can I tell ya, I just cannot wait for you to see them once they are edited and uploaded on our new website coming soon.

Now why would I say that testimonial videos were a highlight above snorkeling, winning money in the casino, sunbathing or even indulging in amazing cuisine nightly. Simple because for the first time I witnessed people actually beginning to grasp and understand the real value of what our amazing network marketing business Numis is truly all about. It’s always been people and not just products. Amazingly enough unless asked about it,  the common point all our reps talked about was the priceless relationships we made far out weighing the value the gold & silver we love to collect.

The final sea day as we headed back to Tampa, we concluded our team building session inside the theatre of the ship where we talked abut a fundamental topic that honestly just doesn’t get enough air time. The Dream. All I can say is that there were a lot of motivated, insired and enthused reps after hearing the co-founders, Dave Lovett, Ray Higdon and yours Erwin Mcken build their dream. I felt a tide turn, our ship take a new course as now more than ever before reps verbalized how ready they were to hit the ground running in 2012 to make their dreams a reality.

This incentive trip was tons of fun, tons of laughter and a lot of sheer craziness, just ask anyone who won it, but for me and many of our 35 attendees from our BigWave team – it was an epic memory and a shift to the real reason we are building network marketing in the first place. Lifestyle and Lifetime relationships. This year make your business and future happen. Come join us on the next cruise trip and never ever miss another chance to make memories galore!

Will You Be Joining Us on The Next Incentive Trip?

Arriving in Paradise -WOW

An Interactive Blog Post: What Are Your Top 3 Goals of 2012?

Posted on by
27

Over 90% of people never succeed not because they are not capable or lack talent, but because they never start. Procrastination kills dreams and suffocates goals.Today in this first blog of this brand new 2012 year we’ve been blessed with I want to help you overcome procrastination. I say blessed with because we all are privilegded to be here to see it. Many did not and many who are alive still don’t see the blessing in this new year. (some will get that later)  Here’s what I am going to do today: I am going to challenge you to do the first and foremost thing that all serious people, champions and network marketing leaders do privately and publicly to stop procrastination. A) To declare your goals and B) to get started  in achieving them. What all serious individuals do is they just plain take the raw action and get the job done! You see for some the number on the calendar just changed, but they haven’t, But the truth be known you have a powerful opportunity to hit the “reset”  button. Hitting the reset button is your chance to start fresh and embrace a new 2012 year for all of what you want to see happen that perhaps never fully manifested  in 2011. So how do you do it?

The first thing is to attack the fear or repetitive apathy of “never getting around to it” You must retire from making excuses and hold yourself to this new standard. You’ve heard people say all the time, “I’ll do it when I get around to it” right? So here you are on this 1st week of January…I’m giving you a (round tuit) today LOL  and telling you that in order to give yourself a greater chance of achievement in 2012 you must start, speak and declare the goal to others if you’re going to have a fighting chance at success. Secondly, you cannot hit a goal you have not set nor can anybody encourage you to that goal if they do not know it. So if you’re already a step ahead and done this – great. If not, get moving and hit the reply button after you finish reading this post and share them with our community  But also commit to encourage others around to do this same exercise. I’ll start it off but before I do I must share below what I am grateful and thankful since the beginning of last year. Then I will post my 2012 goals as promised in the reply feed to set the pace and  example. Of all the great personal and business-related accomplishments of 2011 here are a few that top the list.

I am grateful and thankful that I have a wife Eva (my business partner) that has been with me by my side supporting me and our team 150% I couldn’t have made it with out her.

I am grateful and thankful for good health and the health of loved ones around me.

I am grateful and thankful that I was shown Numis and given the chance to participate in the free enterprise system rather than be controlled economically all the days of my life.

I am grateful and thankful that I have been the recipient of so many great leaders in our team over the 2011 year. We have over 1200 reps and many leaders nation wide too many to list but you know who you are.

I am so thankful for great business mentors, spiritual leaders and the special behind the scenes relationships that inspired us daily.

I am grateful & thankful that all the wealth and finances we required have met all our needs of 2011. It’s amazing how the power of intention causes things to show up.

Finally I am grateful and thankful for a Divine Creator that gave me a dream and a desire to never quit and for a vision that included you in 2011.

I trust you are also thankful as you start 2012. The only real way to set goals is out of a place and position of deep gratitude. You ask how does that work? Simple. By lifting your hands in thanks for what you have (regardless of how small) you open up your hands powerfully to receive what you thought you could never attain. I am proof-positive this works and know a host of people with this same testimony. Write your goals and share them here in a reply today. It’s my prayer you have that fire in your belly for your family, business and future in 2012. I sure do.

“To 2012 and your goals fulfilled!!”

Erwin & Eva Mcken

You want to make money right? But do you know how to make a difference? Well after reading this post you will. Many reps join an mlm or get started in network marketing because they see and want the money, they love the exotic cars the luxury travel etc. Of course I do as well. All of which are honorable goals. But what’s amazing to me is how so few see the connection between making that dollar and making a difference. You see the largest income earners and top success stories are created by those who fully grasp this equation and make it part of their mantra and team culture. You cannot have big success if it is only ever about you. According to my mentor Ray Higdon that vibration level is very small on the grand scale. If you’re going to make a bigger difference it requires you plug into a higher frequency. Leaders like Ray who do it differently but who also have the massive lifestyle all have one thing in common – they build communities

The word Community is a big word in the realm of mlm. It’s an inclusive word because it  involves more than just you and your needs. It is passionate and dynamic. So it is no surprise when I share below the 4 characteristics that all community mlm builders do an on regular basis.

1. They work hard. Strong work ethic is an absolute code of conduct for the community builder. When you see them on the stage of their company’s events, you know why they are there.They pack as much as they can into their day. Whether blogging, training, recording lessons and even traveling to build their teams. They put in the time and never negotiate the price. Community leaders do work smart but have unquestionable work ethic. Here’s a 7-minute video of Ray sharing with me why hard work is so undervalued.

2. They are coach-able. Community builders are always growing as a person. They seldom feel they have arrived and constantly improve themselves with books, audios, events balanced by a daily personal development program. They also have mentors and coaches they counsel with, mastermind with and learn from. At the core of their being they posses a humble and teachable spirit. They aren’t know-it-alls who block out side knowledge because of previous education or personal pride. Instead they are open to listen to wisdom wherever the universe is bring it from.

3. They inspire. Show me a community leader making a difference and I’ll show you an inspiring person. we’ve all felt these people’s energy. The key to their inspiration is they put people first. They make people feel important and lift them up in all they do. At least that’s the aim. Money and things are always last and that’s why they vibrate at the highest levels. That vibration that makes them resonate more with such a wide range of ethnicities, cultures and even other mlm leaders. They don’t have to recruit, they inspire and people simply join them. Once they do an interesting thing occurs, many of those reps who never thought they would make it past 90 days, make what I cal the big commitment and remain with that leader long-term.

4. They serve.  I had the distinct honor of sharing this insight on the final segment of a very special four- part webinar hosted by my amazing mentor Ray Higdon. It inspired me to write about this topic today. Among the multiple tips I gleaned from Ray in this webinar leadership course, the big takeaway for me was how we all can build community better to have the longevity we all want as a leaders. He even coined a new phrase which I believe will re-shape what how many will want to be viewed. Intimate Servant Leaders or ISL ISL’s all possess the traits I have just mentioned. They also take the time to spend with people (new reps) even when it is costly and sometimes inconvenient. In building my mlm community I have 4 rules I live by as an emerging ISL. a) People first, things second. b) I never cancel a meeting. c) This person could be the next Ray Higdon. b) When they enroll, they don’t just start a business, they join a family.

So the question is are you one today? Would you like to known as one in your company? If you’ve ever considered why preople remember JFK, MLK, Mother Theresa or Ghandi..It is becasue they served the masses, worked hard, remained teachable, inspired millions and served in a clear community way. That is how I feel about my mentor Ray Higdon and I include him today in that list of our world’s greatest ISL’s His recent series has impacted me in a very deep and profound way and you deserve to know and learn from him now and in 2012.

Building a community is not an option if you see what you do as huge as Ray does. When you start applying this you will no longer just have bunch of reps enrolled, but develop leaders who adopt a mission and a purpose. Then watch a movement that changes lives take shape.

A few words about my coach and friend, Ray Higdon
