Ask Jimmy Johnson MLM and Network Marketing Success Blog

A lot of people who have read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki have asked the question, “how do I go into business if a have a job?”  This is the beauty of a MLM or network marketing business. This is also why Robert Kiyosaki recommends this industry as a perfect transition from those with a job working as employees in the E or Employee Quadrant to the B or Business Quadrant. Network marketing allows anyone to start on a part-time or even a spare-time bases. With very little time and minimal financial investment a person can go into business for themselves but not by themselves.

MLM and network marketing companies provide a business system to a networker just as a franchise company offers a business system to a franchisee. As pointed out in a previous posting, it is a system that runs a business and it is people that run the system. A proven system that provides profit to its owner is the true value of a business. It is that system that allows franchise companies to charge tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars to those who want to go into business for themselves but not by themselves. the same as in network marketing. The big difference is that in MLM or network marketing there is a relatively low start up cost which most can afford.

Another huge benefit of MLM or network marketing business is that there are no employees. This is huge since one of the largest expenses of business is the cost of employees’ compensation and benefits. Plus it is extremely rare to find employees who will treat an employer’s business as if it were their own. Those who are responsible will become management and the cost of their compensation then increases. In network marketing you are searching for those who are like minded. You spend most of your time finding others who would like to build their own business around a proven system of success. You also work with them so that they can duplicate the process for themselves.

This is a cycle which is repeated over and over again until you can step back and watch the business take on a life of its own and grow with or without you. You have a real business when you can take off on an extended vacation and return to a business that is more profitable than when you left. This is only possible because you have created an environment which allows others to take ownership in the building of their own business. Because others have the same if not greater opportunity as you, this is about the fairest system available to any business person.

If you have not read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant I suggest you do so as soon as possible. These books will not only teach you how to look at finances and opportunities the same as the rich do, but will also make it possible for you to teach others working with what the rich teach about money and the poor and middle class do not.

How do you enjoy receiving residual income? Take care of people first. Everyday John Maxwell shares his word of the day in a Minute with Maxwell. Today John talked about residual income. The highlight of his short talk was that in order to enjoy residual income you must take care of people. He was referring to our industry of MLM or network marketing which is a taking care of people business. What allows for out residual income is that in most cases we represent companies that provide products and services which are billed for and delivered monthly and we receive a commission from each of the recurring billings. The real strength of residual income in network marketing or direct selling is that we build teams with other like people and teach them how to do the exact same thing we do. We teach others how to present and sell out products or services but we also teach others how to build teams of their own which helps us to grow out business. When those in our direct team or in their downlines make a sale we receive a percentage of that sale because we were responsible of providing that sale to the company.

At some point once a MLM or network marketing organization grows to a certain point where leaders are developed and become responsible for growing their own teams within your organization your business will take on a life of its own. This means that there are enough people selling and growing their business that you will continue to receive checks from your company even if you take off on a world tour for  six months. In fact you could actually return from that trip and find that your business has grown in size and income and you didn’t even have to life a finger.

John makes it perfectly clear that the only way this is going to happen is by taking care of people. It is for this reason that I fell in love with network marketing and have been a student of John Maxwell for over ten years. I have spent many years building business for other people. That was in my days of having a job and that was the agreement with my employers. Once I discovered that I could build a business for myself but not by myself, I saw network marketing as one of the fairest systems available to me and others. It was learning about the principles of leadership from John Maxwell that made the job of building a business with people so much easier for me .

So I highly recommend you plug into John Maxwell and I am sharing his Minute with Maxwell video below  on residual income as well an a link that will give you more access to John’s teachings.

I have read and listened to Brian Tracy for decades. One of my favorite books by Brian, which I placed on my recommend to read book list is “Goals“. There are too many books written on goals and goal setting to ever read in this lifetime, so I recommend if you only read one book on goals that is that is the one to read.

What I want to share with you is an article I read this morning from Brian Tracy on his blog titled, “Seven Steps to Developing a New Habit”   I took the liberty here to add that this is exactly how to have MLM or network marketing success. Everything starts with a thought. That is why we were told to Think and Grow Rich. The other side of the equation is that we can think and grow poor or broke. As we have been told over and over again what we think about most comes into our lives. So if we do not protect our thinking and decide what our dominate thoughts will be others will do it for us. The only way to accomplish this is by making goals.

One of the biggest challenges is the news channels. Years ago they tried to broadcast only good news and nearly went out of business, so to stay profitable in business they tell us everything going on wrong in the world. Commercials are just as guilty. Once certain pharmaceuticals were allowed to advertise on television, there was a dramatic increase in the illnesses and diseases that they claim to have the cure for. When I was growing up as a kid I never heard of anyone having diabetes. Once they started advertising the cure, it seemed everyone became diabetic or borderline diabetic. And who ever knew we needed that little purple pill till we were told to ask our doctor who was told to tell us that we needed it.

The good news is that we can control consciously through our conscious or critical mind exactly what reaches our subconscious mind. It is the thoughts of the subconscious mind that manifest in our real world.Want to know what you are thinking about most? just take a look around you.  Brian Tracy’s article is on developing new habits and I believe it goes hand in hand with goals because thinking is a habit and we must set goals for what we want rather than for what we don’t want and that means creating new habits of thought which will lead to new habits of action. Goals for what we don’t want? Exactly. So many set goals for just getting enough money to pay bills or get a tank of gas when it is just as easy to think about growing a huge business and helping others make lots of money so that we in turn can make lots of money.

Be sure to take time today to read Brian’s blog entry and take action, put it to work. You will be amazed at the changes that will take place in your life when you get into the habit of proper thinking and activity. GREAT NEWS! on Brian Tracy’s blog he is giving away an e-book copy of his book Goals.  I remember when that book first came out and I bought it in a store, it was rather pricey as a hard cover book, but worth every penny. The free e-book is a fantastic gift to you. Take advantage of it.
