My business partner Michael Dlouhy invented the phrase “Be a mentor with a servant’s heart!” Years ago, watching Tom “Big Al” Schreiter up close and personal, Michael saw how Tom did his seminars and how he worked with people. That was the origin of the phrase.

I have found “mentor with a servant’s heart” to be the essence of the best network marketing system. People ask, “What is that?” It means a lot of things. For one, it means “no agenda.” You are there to help people and teach them and guide them with no agenda behind it. If you call them up with the sole intention of getting them into your deal, THAT is an agenda. People feel your self-interest and they resent it.

Often times a screened patio is called a sunroom or sun porch. This is because it is enclosed, so it acts as a room, and because the walls allow sunshine in, which keeps the screened patio nice and warm.

The benefits of screened patios are as follows:

 Screened patios allow more quality time on your deck or patio. It creates an outdoor space that can be enjoyed by all without worry of some of the nuisances of the outdoors (children getting all dirty, bugs, etc.).

We hear it all the time: ‘Duplication in your network marketing business’. Why is duplication so important to your network marketing business?

For one, without it you would be solely dependent on just your own efforts the entire life of your business. If you are not duplicating, you might as well be in another line of work because your business would never grow to the level it can, and you would have no team and not very much building residual income.

You always hear about the people in this industry that are making six figures a month. Now, the ONLY way they could achieve that in network marketing is by duplication in their business: Others at work who also contribute to your income.

However, most people will never see that kind of income in MLM because they haven’t quite harnassed the power and the scope of effective duplication. The average network marketer will get excited about possibly recruiting a ‘heavy hitter’ or two, and hopes that person will go nuts and start building at an insane rate; therefore building the sponsor a successful business.

Stop right there!

This is NOT how it works. Even though duplication is the component that can skyrocket your income and your business, YOU must be the one to ‘go nuts’ and pull out all the stops to make things happen. Then, people you recruit will see what you are doing (not neccesarily what you are saying), and will be more inclined to follow your pattern of success.

You cannot depend on anyone to build your business for you. If you truly want to build a team of successful network marketers, you must lead from the front and actually BE the person you would want your people to be. You must provide the right kind of business building education for your team and equip them with effective tools, so they can also go out and get the job done on a consistent basis.

Now that you understand the importance of duplication in a network marketing business; let’s talk about what you can do to achieve it:

- Lead from the front (be the leader and the performer that you desire to see in your people first). You must start the duplication machine in your business with your own personal efforts and never stop until the job is finished.

- Get educated (invest in outside education in marketing, sales, and other business practices), so you will be able to rise above the crowd and get better results than the masses do.

- Attract potential leaders and builders to you through effective marketing by generating your own leads instead of prospecting and soliciting everyone, like the masses do. You don’t want anyone, you just want the select few who get it. (Doing this will save you tons of time in getting real duplication going.)

- Provide consistent RESULTS-BASED systems and training for your team (not the systems that are used by 95% of your network marketing company rep base). You must be different if you want different results.

- Always track your personal and team results, and consistently improve and upgrade your marketing methods for maximum performance. (If something isn’t working, change it or drop it.)

- Use leverage to the maximum capacity in your personal efforts as well as in team performance and training. (Learn how to do things faster, easier, and more effectively than other networkers - and the results will prove the effects of your implementation.)

True duplication and team building in your network marketing business can happen if you do your part to ensure that it begins with you and that you have educated yourself and your team on EFFECTIVE business building methods and training.

When this happens in a business, it’s hard to put a stop to the kind of growth this kind of duplication can bring you! It all starts with YOU.

There are many posts flying around these days asking this question. It seems most of these post are written by individuals who either have no idea how the system works, or simply believe that a program with such a lucrative commission structure must be a scam. Lets begin by defining a pyramid scheme. The distinguishing feature of a pyramid schemes is that there is no product being sold or a product that has little value of its own is sold at a price that is way above what the product is worth. Examples of these “products” are cassettes, CDs or brochure that only offer information on how to enroll new members. These products are typically sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars and worth nothing to those who buy them.

Here’s the first rule of making a presentation

“Your prospect doesn’t really care about you.”

All those people in the cars around you in the traffic… do you think they’re thinking about you? Not a chance! They’re totally focused on themselves and their own lives. They don’t even know you exist.

So don’t talk about yourself. Just give them the bare minimum introduction about yourself and why you’re there.

Something like:

“Hey, thanks for fitting me into your schedule. I know you’re busy. I’m really excited about what I’m going to show you tonight/today. It’s totally changing my financial future.”

It happens all too often. Enthusiastically, you round up the names of people you think may be interested in your business opportunity. You agree with your sponsor to start working down the list to make your pitch. So you pick up the phone and call the first person on the list. All you get is “No thanks,” and they hang up. There’s 100 more names on the list, so onto the next person. They scoff, “You’re wasting your time and mine, buddy, get a real job.” Not what you expected, maybe the next person will give you a break. Again, they don’t want to hear what you have to say, so you give up and begin telling yourself that this is not for you.

Air conditioner compressors usually fail due to one of two conditions: time and hours of operation (wear out), or abuse. There are some failures that can occur elsewhere in the system that will cause a compressor failure, but these are less common unless the system has been substantially abused.

Usually abuse is a result of extended running with improper freon charge, or as a consequence of improper service along the way. This improper service can include overcharging, undercharging, installing the wrong starter capacitor as a replacement, removing (rather than repairing/replacing) the thermal limiter, insufficient oil, mixing incompatible oil types, or wrong oil, installing the compressor on a system that had a major burnout without taking proper steps to remove the acid from the system, installing the wrong compressor (too small) for the system, or installing a new compressor on a system that had some other failure that was never diagnosed.
