7 Leadership Secrets To Being A True Leader

Regardless who you are currently leading or want to lead, if it is a big business, a political organisation, a sports club, a church or a network marketing organisation, the simple 7 leadership principles will make a difference.

7 Secrets I Learnt From The Leadership Pill by Ken Blanchard

1. Leadership is not just what happens when you are there. It’s what happens when you are not there.

   This is a very useful distinction and should become an outcome for anyone who wants to lead. Team that functions even if the leader is not around is something unique and requires a different level of skills. The next points will give couple of ideas how to get there. A great leader builds their people. The better your people, the more free time you have.

2. Profit is the applause you get for taking care of your customers and creating a motivating environment for people.

   Isn’t it an interesting twist in perception and sequence? There are so many organisations that do exactly opposite. This model helps to remove from constantly focusing on just getting a quick financial gain that looks good in a short term, but on the other hand it can strongly damage the two most important parts of your organisations: your customers and your team.

3. Leadership is not something you do to people, it is something you do with them.

   Simple but powerful truth. If you are setting off for a team leading journey, remember to take your team with you. Communicate and involve. Simple but also so often forgotten.

4. The key to effective leadership is the relationship you build with your team.

   An extension from the previous points. The relationship you build with your team should be the way how you judge your success as a leader.

5. Sharing the big picture puts everyone on the same page.

   Effective communication will always be the key leadership skill while building a team. A clear vision gives the strong sense of direction, or even a sense of excitement and a powerful drive, if properly communicated.

6. You will go a lot further if you stop to refuel.

   That is something I must admit I have been guilty of. It is so crucially important to pause, relax and change your perception with different activities, different people. So take time for sport, short trips, dancing, reading watching movies, hiking etc. If you are scoring and winning take time to celebrate, if you are missing your target and not really getting what you want, find time to reflect and get some distance to gain new perspective. Albert Einstein put it nicely: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”

7. The highest achievement of a leader is winning respect and trust of your team.

   Again, I love what Ken Blanchard is doing here. Measure your success of leadership not by financial numbers but trust and respect. These two ingredients will lay a solid foundation that will be a springboard for long lasting financial results.

Hope these 7 nuggets from Ken Blanchard take your leadership skills to the max!

The On-Going Scam Continues

Untuk lebih memahami kedudukan amalan head-hunting yang dianggap negatif di dalam amalan MLM, seseorang perlu memahami terlebih dahulu hakikat MLM yang sebenar.  

Multi-level Marketing, sebagaimana yang sepatutnya difahami daripada namanya, adalah amalan pemasaran (marketing) sesuatu produk atau rangkaian produk-produk atau perkhidmatan atau kedua-duanya yang memberi ganjaran komisen kepada pengedar yang berjaya memasarkan produk/perkhidmatan syarikat MLM berkenaan bukan sahaja di atas jumlah yang berjaya dipasarkan secara peribadi, malah juga, melalui dan dibatasi oleh formula pengiraan yang ditawarkan di dalam pelan ganjaran, di atas jualan yang berjaya dihasilkan oleh rangkaian pengedar-pengedar di dalam kumpulannya. 

Ringkasnya, perbezaan antara Multi-level Marketing dan marketing biasa adalah sifat "Multi-level" yang membenarkan seseorang meraih keuntungan daripada produk/perkhidmatan yang berjaya dipasarkan oleh pengedar-pengedar di dalam rangkaiannya juga, sedangkan di dalam konsep pemasaran biasa atau dikenali juga sebagai SLM (Single-level marketing) keuntungan yang diraih oleh seseorang "marketer" cuma lah komisen di atas jualan peribadinya sahaja.


Malangnya, ciri "Multi-level" yang memberikan kelebihan melalui "leveraging" terutamanya dari segi masa dan tenaga ini juga membuka suatu ruang untuk dimanipulasi menjadi suatu bentuk "money game", biasanya dikenali sebagai "pyramidal money game" di mana peserta-peserta mencari wang dan keuntungan melalui proses "recruitting" atau "headhunting". 

Proses ini sangat fundamental di dalam "pyramidal money game" (di Malaysia biasanya amalan ini dirujuk sebagai Skim Cepat Kaya, walaupun realiti bagi kebanyakan peserta adalah cepat miskin, yang kaya cuma penganjur skim dan segelintir "peserta awal"). 

Kenapa? 

Kerana itulah cara para peserta mendapatkan wang dan keuntungan iaitu dengan mengambil sebahagian dari wang penyertaan yang dibayar oleh peserta baru. Tiada perniagaan, tiada produk, tiada perkhidmatan, cuma permainan wang yang pasti runtuh apabila bilangan kemasukan ahli baru tidak lagi mampu menampung bayaran yang dijanjikan kepada peserta-peserta sedia ada. Ini adalah money game yang dijalankan secara "naked", tanpa berselindung (dalam sejarah Malaysia, Skim Pak Man Telo adalah salah satu contoh "naked money game" yang pernah popular sekitar tahun 80an dahulu).


Untuk mengelakkan penipuan skim sebegini dari dapat dikesan dengan mudah, pelbagai label digunakan oleh penganjur skim untuk menutup operasi ini daripada diketahui oleh bakal-bakal mangsa dan juga oleh penguatkuasa undang-undang. 

Antara label atau topeng yang paling popular adalah MLM (walaupun ada di sana topeng-topeng lain seperti internet investment, pelaburan forex, pelaburan emas, ternakan lembu, kambing, ikan keli, skim menderma, skim tolong menolong, wang pos, oil and gas, high yield investment dan lain-lain).  

Kenapa label MLM popular digunakan untuk menjalankan money game?  

Kerana seperti money game, MLM juga ada melibatkan proses 'recruitting', menaja atau membawa masuk ahli-ahli baru. 
Apa yang malang, ramai ahli masyarakat termasuk yang bergiat aktif di dalam MLM nampaknya tidak atau kurang faham tentang perbezaan "recruitting" di dalam MLM dengan "head-hunting" di dalam money game.

  

Berbeza dengan "head-hunting" di dalam "money game" yang menjadi sebab dan cara untuk seseorang peserta mendapat keuntungan, "recruitting" di dalam MLM pada asasnya tidak membawa sebarang keuntungan sebenar kerana keuntungan cuma boleh berlaku apabila berlaku penjualan produk. 

Yang ada pada masa "recruitting" berlaku adalah "potensi" mendapatkan keuntungan, belum lagi keuntungan sebenar. "Recruitting" di dalam MLM boleh dianggap membawa keuntungan sebenar apabila ia mewakili aktiviti menggerakkan produk kepada pengguna-pengguna baru atau mewakili aktiviti mendapatkan pengedar-pengedar baru bagi menggerakkan produk kepada pengguna-pengguna akhir melalui aktiviti-aktiviti perniagaan. 

Oleh kerana itu, syarikat-syarikat MLM tradisional tidak membayar sebarang komisen untuk "signing up" ahli baru. Komisen cuma mula dibayar apabila ahli baru tersebut membeli produk. Syarikat-syarikat MLM yang baru biasanya cuba memintas langkah ini dengan mem"pakej"kan terus produk untuk dibeli oleh ahli yang baru direkrut. 

Amalan menawarkan pakej produk ini walaupun pada asalnya merupakan suatu strategi perniagaan yang boleh diterima, namun sekiranya telah bermutasi sebagai suatu gabungan amalan "head-hunting" dan "front-loading" atau "inventory loading" bakal merubah sesuatu perniagaan MLM menjadi "money game".


Ini yang perlu dielakkan melalui penawaran pelan ganjaran yang dapat menggalakkan sikap yang betul di kalangan pengedar, bukan pelan ganjaran yang terlebih menekankan kepada "recruitting" semata-mata. 
Pelan ganjaran sahaja tidak memadai. Produk yang mempunyai permintaan sebenar yang tinggi di kalangan pengguna juga membantu mengelakkan sesuatu perniagaan MLM disalahguna menjadi "pyramidal money game". 

Selain dari faktor pelan ganjaran yang di"design" untuk "reward the correct behaviour", antara yang paling penting adalah sikap para pengedar sendiri, terutamanya yang telah mencapai tahap "leaders" di dalam mempromosikan perniagaan. Sekiranya para pengedar, terutamanya "leaders" mampu menseimbangkan antara aktiviti "recruitting" dan pergerakan produk kepada pengguna akhir sebenar (genuine endusers), perniagaan MLM mampu kekal sebagai 'a viable and legitimate business practice'. 

Sekiranya aktiviti "recruitting" is "over promoted" sampai menganak tirikan "excitement" tentang keistimewaan dan kegunaan produk serta meminggirkan pergerakan produk kepada pengguna akhir sebenar, maka aktiviti "recrutting" yang berlaku sebenarnya adalah "head-hunting" di dalam sebuah permainan wang yang mengelirukan peserta dengan bertopengkan penjualan pakej produk permulaan (entry product package). 

Kenapa aktiviti ini dikatakan mengelirukan (nampaknya lebih tepat dikatakan menipu) peserta? 

Kerana sebagaimana yang ditekankan oleh ramai para pengkritik MLM, skim sebegini sebenarnya berdepan dengan "mathematical impossibilities" kerana ia menjual mimpi kepada para peserta untuk menjadi kaya raya melalui aktiviti menrekrut peserta baru, bukan melalui perniagaan atau penjualan produk. 

Mimpi ini adalah palsu untuk majoriti peserta dan cuma benar kepada segelintir peserta yang berjaya memastikan kemasukan ramai ahli baru ke dalam rangkaiannya bagi menampung pendapatan lumayan yang dijanjikan di dalam skim tersebut. 

Itupun, ia merupakan kekayaan yang sementara kerana skim sebegini bakal runtuh sebaik sahaja bilangan kemasukan peserta baru tidak cukup atau tidak cukup praktikal bagi menampung bayaran yang dijanjikan kepada para peserta sedia ada. Ketidakcukupan ini pasti berlaku kerana kekayaan didasarkan kepada kemasukan ahli baru semata-mata. 

Cukuplah kalau kita ambil perkembangan 4 x 4, iaitu setiap peserta cuma perlu mencari empat peserta baru dan memastikan duplikasi berlaku iaitu setiap dari empat peserta baru tadi juga melakukan aktiviti yang sama, iaitu mencari empat peserta baru. Lakukan penggandaan itu sebanyak 12 kali, bermakna untuk sistem ini "viable" secara relatif berpanjangan, seseorang peserta perlu mempunyai 67,108,864 peserta di dalam rangkaiannya! 

Mungkin angka-angka ini agak kurang jelas, biar kita spell out the numbers: apabila duplikasi seorang peserta berlaku secara perfect sebanyak duabelas kali duplikasi menurut strategi seorang peserta cari empat peserta, maka peserta tersebut memerlukan ENAM PULOH TUJUH JUTA, SERATUS LAPAN RIBU DAN LAPAN RATUS ENAM PULOH EMPAT orang peserta di dalam rangkaiannya. Secara lebih ringkas dan tidak begitu terpeinci, jumlah peserta di dalam rangkaian SEORANG peserta tadi setelah perfect duplication berlaku adalah sekitar 67.1 juta orang. 

Sekiranya skim ini dijalankan di Malaysia, bermakna peserta tadi memerlukan lebih dari dua kali ganda jumlah KESELURUHAN penduduk Malaysia! Ya, mungkin didebatkan oleh sesetengah orang bahawa a perfect duplication sebegini tidak akan berlaku dan oleh itu tidak akan berlaku jumlah bilangan peserta yang begitu ramai, impossibly too many. 

Namun hakikatnya kekal bahawa skim yang mempromosikan kekayaan dan keuntungan melalui kemasukan ahli baru semata-mata tanpa menekankan pemasaran dan penjualan produk berkualiti sebenarnya adalah suatu penipuan kerana majoriti peserta akan mendapati bahawa kekayaan yang dijanjikan adalah milik penganjur skim dan segelintir peserta sahaja sedangkan majoriti cuma menjadi penyumbang dana atau alat ke arah itu. 

It is a clearly flawed concept dan memang berdepan dengan mathematical impossibility yang diterangkan di atas.

Why the Environment Around You is So Important?

Life as an entrepreneur can at times be very stressful and frustrating. There are many times you feel like giving up and just throwing in the towel, because of a problem you cannot solve. This gets worse when you are alone. The wrong thoughts come into your mind, swaying you to give up on all your work and to take the easy route out. This is when you need friends and the right community that will share and keep you on the right path.

You need people with the same motives and aspirations, who have faced similar problems, around you. To guide you and to be there for you. This is why many companies have been started just to cater to entrepreneurs. Incubators, workspaces, clubs have all begun to get the community together, working around each other to provide the support for others, that would help entrepreneurs to move on.

It’s at many of these events that entrepreneurs mingle and discuss the issues they face. Many people get the help and guidance they need, many people find new partnerships and business opportunities that turn out to be the next big thing.


As an entrepreneur, especially a new one, it is important not to shut yourself out, instead it is important to surround yourself with the right people, who will guide you right and will be your support to nudge you on, to achieve your goals.


Many workspaces organize events and networking sessions to bring entrepreneurs together. Take the time to attend these events and to meet others. Make friends with people from the community, learn from what they have to say and share the knowledge you have. Sometimes by helping others, you could open doors that would help you further in the future.


Remember, helping each other does not need to be a zero sum game – everyone can benefit.

This actually gives you much time to think of interesting topics and builds the feeling of anticipation on the part of your readers or subscribers.

Once you master the techniques of drawing visitors to your site, then you must also learn how to make them stick around and become your followers. If you become a master of the two techniques, then you can congratulate yourself as a successful internet marketer by using the above simple tips for increasing your blog traffic.

Passion

You cannot be half-hearted about your involvement, you have to face the slaughterhouse and give yourself to the cause you are after. 

Passion!

The best thing to do is to get this clear from the start; if you are intending to become an entrepreneur and to work on your ideas with so much passion, then you have to know that there will be a tremendous amount of work coming your way. There will be sleepless nights and frustrating times. It is best to your ‘mind set’ now itself before we go any deeper. The amount of commitment required of you especially in the initial stages of execution may take you away from your friends, family and some of the pleasurable activities you enjoy.

If you want to build something great, commitment and focus is required. You need to sacrifice the time and energy from other activities and focus it on your startup. Compared to the Dot Com era, we have a lot more entrepreneurs giving up their day jobs to focus on their businesses. They understand that this is a full time career and that they need to be there to build it up; to do the hard work before they can reap the benefits.

There are many who still continue to keep their day jobs as well. You may need to feed your family or have some stability while getting things going. This is fair enough, but sacrifices will have to be made on other fronts. Do understand that if you intend to go on an entrepreneurial journey, you will have to forgo or put aside your other career ambitions. It will not be easy to work on two massive paths at the same time. They are bound to clash and you will be really exhausted to focus your energy completely on making either succeed.

If you intend to run a small cupcake business from your home to make some extra cash on the side, then you could manage to do it while holding your day job. But if you intend to make a bakery franchise, or a company that has a reach of millions, then when the time comes, you will have to make that jump.

One advice we would give is to begin your planning and research whilst you are working. See if the project is feasible and would it be sustainable. You could even start experimenting and selling on a small scale. But once you are ready to start, then it would be best to go in full time. Be at the helm of the ship so that you(the captain) can steer it through the stormy waters, to its final destination.

Unless you have the passion, and unless you spend all your time on your start-up, there will be little chance of success. Having one foot in and the other foot out the door and doing a part-time job as an entrepreneur rarely works in the real world; you have to get both feet in the door. I am not saying it is impossible, but it is rare that such an approach will yield good results. Perhaps one can do this at the very early stages of planning a start-up company, but when it comes to executing and starting the company, there is no other way but to be fully immersed into it and to become the ENTREPRENEUR that is fully committed to the final outcome.

Road to heaven

Well all of us have some fear of failing, but how much fear and whether the fear is enough to stop me in my tracks is what makes the difference. For me failure is not the end of the road; it’s just signal that I have to take a detour along the way. An entrepreneur’s career is very different from most peoples' careers. There is no ladder to climb. Instead you start off on the first day at the top. When you register a company you become its director immediately. Compared to your peers who choose to work for a company, they have to go through the ranks and rise up in the company and perhaps become directors one day. You start off at that point from day one.

This is where you need to be careful. Some people take those titles too egoistically and they assume that they are on top of the world from day one. But true entrepreneurs know that they may have the title, but they need to earn its value.

The thing is to truly earn that title, you really have to put in those hours and do things others may not even think of doing. You have to work on the ground, sweep the floor, make sure every thing is packed right, every detail is right, and then stay up late at night, working on strategies to take over the world. The CEO of a startup plays both the factory worker role and the role of the boss.

Now what has that got to do with failure? Remember, everything you do, every step you take, and every single person you meet is a learning event. This journey is all about learning and applying. Learn that lesson today and remember it well. Your journey does not end when the company is closed down, it does not end if you lose all your money - it only ends if you decide it ends.

It would seem very weird, but if you look at Silicon Valley, you will see that other startups and corporations are hiring many failed entrepreneurs. In the Valley, failing is an important qualification to be funded by VCs. Many of these entrepreneurs would have shown that even though they failed, they have gotten up again and picked up from where they left off. They have come up more mature and educated from their past experiences, ready to take on the next challenge ahead.

Unlike a corporate ladder, an entrepreneurial career has many different ups and downs. It is the entrepreneur who has to learn to face the challenges and come out a more mature person at the end of it. An entrepreneur’s education is in journey taken and the failures they overcame.

Strive to be a more capable person, do not be afraid of failing the small tests along the way, instead look at the bigger picture and strive to achieve your dreams.

Kick Ass, Break Glass – Take Massive Action

In home based business industry there is this fantasy pitched and sold too often: “join my system or my team and you will start making money instantly…” – as if you were about to buy instant noodles…


I’m afraid it does not work like that. I personally prefer to be pitched in a different way: “Come and join our 90 day program and we will help you grow necessary skills to drive traffic, generate leads and that will help you make money”.
I have bad news…. are you ready?
It will be more like going to the gym then going to cinema… as most people would love it to be.

Champions Cross Out or Pass Out

I have met and interviewed many high performers and top producers. There is one phrase that describes their work ethic – “cross out or pass out”. It is all about taking massive insane action.

Obviously before you start moving, it is good to know why you move, which direction to move and what are the best moves that most successful people do to get them there the fastest.

So, you need education. Yes, you need to grow, you need to expand your consciousness first. You need to study and model what other successful people have done, because you do not know what you do not know.
Learning might be cool, it will be absorbing, can be exciting but you have to take action.

Admit This – Knowledge Is not Power

If you really think that knowledge is power, why aren’t the richest and most powerful people, those who have PHDs, read loads of books and go to all possible seminars? We all know people who know a lot and do nothing about it.

Knowledge is only potential power, when you combine it with action.

Most people know that, but they don’t really get the meaning of it. Bad news is: Your life will stay the same if the only thing you do is you are only reading more. You will be an interesting person to converse with, but that does not bring results.

If you take massive action you will actually learn faster

People often ask: what is your secret? What tool do you use? A good answer most of the time is: “Just get off your butt and take massive but massive action!” Do not worry about making mistakes, about grammar and punctuation, just get it out there and learn from it.

The formula is:

“learn it, implement it, see what works, review it and do it better”

Kick ass break glass, take massive action.

When you take little or no action, you will receive mediocre results. This is the law of the universe, and there isn’t anything that you can do to change it

 

6 Tips how to take Massive Action

1. Admit that Knowledge Is not Power
2. Know your outcome – start with the end in mind
3. Start Moving – Pray and Walk
4. Set sub-goals and time limits.
5. Eliminate and outsource.
6. Block some time, get rid of distractions

Bonus Tip: The Secret Weapon
If you are still reluctant to take action: you need to know this secret and powerful concept: “5 Minutes Room Rescue” by the FlyLady. Go to your kitchen and set set your kitchen timer for 5 minutes. Then, rush to your most dirty room and clean it up. When the timer buzzes, stop and you can start working on what is important with a very clear conscience.

How To Get Rich – Attraction and Wealth Accumulation

Whenever I do a repetitive task, or “NET activity” (no extra time) I always play an audio in the background to expose myself to new ideas. But, some people speak slowly so to make the process faster I double the speed on the player (you can do it with most of the players). So you can listen to 1 hour of content in 30 or even 20 min. It’s actually an idea borrowed from my 13 years old brother who shortens his time to read school books, actually listen to books. The young generation seems to have the right ideas.

As with many of these things, you must have heard most of them at some point of time but it is always good to hear them again, especially from a new person in a slightly different way. Hopefully something will unlock for you and help you create new distinctions or brand new associations.

Money is not important:
I love this one. Heard it so many times. “Money is not important”. If you hear it from someone, follow up this statement with this simple question: “You are broke, right?” That’s sounds a bit rude but for some reason it is extremely accurate.

Think about it, if you told the same things to your friend, “you are not important” Do you think he would stick around for long?… So why do you think money will? The same rule applies.

Many people have money hang ups and most of them will deny it or try to justify with excuses but the sad truth is, if you have these beliefs imprinted, you will sabotage your wealth creation and you will never create one.

Tony Rush, shared this simple idea that is so profound:

“Wealthy people think that there is abundance in the world, poor people think that there is not enough to go around.”

By looking at actions of others (and your own) you should be able see the imprinted beliefs of the subconscious minds. The actions that we take is nothing else but a bold display and reflection of our subconscious mind.

Average Mindset
How many times have you seen a homeless guy by the side of the road holding a cardboard that says, “I will work for food?” Sure. Many times, right?

In fact, if you put yourself in the other person’s shoes, you might think, “ha, If you took all from me away (wallet, my cards) and put me on the road, I am sure I would get out of that situation in no time….“After all. I have some skills, I know people…” right?. If we take all way from you and leave you on a street corner….you wouldn’t have to stay there, right?

Are you ready? There is a paradigm shift – a punch line. Here it is:

“Has it ever occurred to you that very wealthy individuals look at “average” people the exact…..same……way?” Think about it.

If for some reason Richard Branson was in a position where he was “only” earning $150,000 per year…..
…he’d say, “Oh, I could easily get out of that situation in no time”.

In fact, there is one wealthy guy who said: “If you took everything from me and gave me a lawnmower, I’d be right back where I am right now in less than 2 years.” Think about it, Why is it possible?

Because wealthy people think differently than “average” people. He’s got the MINDSET OF A MILLIONAIRE

Ask yourself: What does it looks like?….What does it feels like?….and how you can start changing your life and your business? As T H Eker says: “Change your roots and you will change your fruits.”

THE ROOTS CREATE THE FRUITS

Picture a tree. On this tree there are fruits. In your business, FRUITS are RESULTS. If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots (thoughts, ideas, people, education, mentoring, etc). If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

NOTE: This is not about eating caviar off golden spoons or lighting cigars with $100 bills. Unless that’s your thing.

Maxwell Maltz’s says it this way, “Human beings cannot consistently outperform his or her own self image.” Read it twice – this is a powerful line, This is the reason why people are and stay poor – it is all about self image! So do something about it.

Low Cost Resources to Build Your Network Marketing Business!

When it comes to resources to build your business, how do you know what is available to you, and at what cost? I’m sure that is why you’re reading this page!
One of the most important concerns you should have is staying within a budget. We can spend a fortune on some of the marketing tools and systems, yet in reality we don’t have too.

Today, having a personal web site where you can present your message is paramount to your network marketing success, yet it is not the most critical thing in guaranteeing your success.

Recent statistics have shown most that most people in network marketing, have found blogs, social marketing, to be very ineffective in achieving their desired results. Generally only those that have been doing this for at least 3 or more years achieving any measurable level of success.

So why are more people not achieving success? This goes back to our basic wants, we want it now and we want to see instant results! I’ve personally mentored many individuals on building effective websites, yet 99% fail because of this one overriding issue “The Lack of Patience.”

Does this mean that you should not do it? Of course not, but you need to do it with proper expectations. Trust me it’s not going to happen, building a presence online takes time to come to fruition.

Probably the most overlooked item is that, online your only going to reach a portion of your target market. With that said we really need to put this all into the proper perspective, by implementing multiple methods of reaching our target market.
Where should you begin in your search for Low cost network marketing resources?

First we need to break it down to your skill level! And you really must focus on one course until successful. Even if your generating your own network marketing leads, you’ll still need great skills to convert them to sales. I know this for fact, just ask me!

Below you’ll find just the start of the Basics:
My goal here is to make every course being sold out there obsolete!

Beginner – Marketing Level:

When we take a look at what you as a beginner can hopefully accomplish, there are several factors we have to take into account.

Your computer knowledge: Basic skills are required, can you use a word processor?
Time: Can you commit at least one to two hours per week?
Desire: Will you have the patience to let things take their natural course.

The website tools I recommend for this level and their are a few. The first is the MyOrangeCD system.

Now the myorangeCd System is part of a leadersclub membership, so you get the best of both worlds training and a generic system designed to bring people into your business not prey on other network marketers like 99% of the other systems out there!

The Other option is to go it alone and build yourself a blog over at blogger.com. This is a good option many have done it yet the system is a little slow at times.

Intermediate – Marketing Level:

Your computer knowledge: Moderate skills are required, as you will be setting up databases?
Time: Can you commit at least 5 to 10 hours per week?
Desire: Don’t even start if your not serious about continuing with it for at least 4 to 5 years.

When it comes to the intermediate level, there are a multitude of options to get you started. You can start with a static website such as the one here at Network-Marketing-Works.com or you can build a blog site using WordPress or a few other open source software systems.

Static Site: For a static site you’ll need good reliable web hosting. Godaddy and
Yahoo offer solid reliable hosting service that won’t break the bank.

You will need some basic web authoring software. One that is Free and works very well is called Nvu you can find it here NVU the software rivals front page and Dreamweaver. As you’ll find out there will be a learning curve in this process.

I would start with a good quality template, based on CSS, you can find many good sources templates just by doing a search.

Blog Site: here are there are a few options as well. WordPress offers free hosting for wordpress blogs over at wordpress.com. Then you can also download WordPress and upload it to your web hosting provider, setup your mysql database.

Advanced – Marketing Level:

Your computer knowledge: Strong skills are required, as you will be setting up databases, modifing code etc.. to fit your needs?
Time: Can you commit at least 10 to 15 hours per week?
Desire: Don’t even start if your not serious about continuing with it for at least 4 to 5 years.

When it comes to the advanced level of websites, the sky is the limit. Yet you can still do this on a low cost budget. One of the most important things to remember is that almost all of the top sites in any search engine do not use generic templates.

They generally use templates that have been modified to their needs, not the other way around. As we move into the advanced level you can begin to build a semi static site that has both elements static html pages, blog pages and/or forums.

Another Option: is to use a CMS system like Drupal or B2evolution both requiring an advanced skill level and another learning curve.

So What’s Important?

When it comes to building any business, you have to keep your attention focused on what will actually make your business grow. If your going to skip the part about learning how to prospect, learning how to connect with people then no one can really help you. This business is about Sales!
