Hi friends,
I have found this on the website. Please go and check it out now.
I wonder if you know the hardships and struggles that so many children are going through around the world right now. It’s a sad fact, but over 10,000 children die every single day due to starvation and preventable illnesses.
It made me think of my involvement with Success University, which is in partnership with Feed The Children that allows every student that signs up with Success University to be part of this contribution program. I am inspired to be in an organization with so many leaders committed to Success University’s vision of creating a positive shift in the world.
Every enrollment in Success University allows us to donate enough to feed a child for a week. In the past four years, our small contributions have been enough to feed tens of thousands of children. Today, your little contribution of US$2 can made a huge difference to these underprivileged children! On top of that, Success University is giving you worthy personal development resources for FREE as a way of saying “Thank You!”.
You can donate through this page here now..
If you haven’t seen the Feed The Children overview video, please take a look and forward to those who can help us make an even greater impact in the world…

Many of us have become involved with buying leads, using Internet Marketing systems, sending out postcards, flyers, etc. because we didn’t want to talk to our family and friends. We understand those are all fantastic ways to build your business, but here’s the thing … we have so many products and services to offer the people we care about that can change their lives … regardless of if they’re interested in building a business or not. We owe it to them to share what we have and what we know with them. We should feel obligated to do so because we care about them.
So, where do we start? We start with what is called the “warm list”. A “warm list” is a group of individuals that you are acquainted with from your past and present. These are people who would recognize your name if you picked up the phone and gave them a call.
Now, let’s talk a little about the value of a warm list. First of all, we all have one. No matter how large or small you think your circle of influence is, we ALL have a warm list of people to talk to. A lot of us market on the Internet and I think sometimes we get caught up in the massive “numbers” game of Internet Marketing and forget that network marketing is “relationship marketing”. What better place to build your business than with people you have already established relationships with. Here’s another benefit of the “warm market” list. Your warm list is what sets you apart from everyone else in this business. It’s YOUR list that is not shared with anyone else. It’s your edge for success.
OK, so how do we create a large warm list? That’s’ the first question. Many of us think we don’t know anyone. By age thirty, the average person literally knows 2,000 people on a first name basis. So, one of the first steps is to begin making a 2,000 person list of people that you know personally. I’m not kidding here. People always think we’re crazy and don’t understand why they need to build such a large list. Here it is, if we ask you to come up with a list of 200 people, most of you will come up with 60 or 70 names and feel really good about it. But, if you start working on a list of 2000, you will come up with at least several hundred. It’s just the way we are. Use telephone books, old high-school yearbooks, etc., to create a list of hundreds if not thousands of people.
Now, I will tell you that most people will or can come up with a dozen reasons why they don’t know 2,000 prospects and why they can’t possibly go to friends and family. There are so many arguments out there and none of them are valid. So let’s review some of the rationalizations and excuses used by distributors:
Rationalization #1: Lack of Conviction
If you truly believe in your company , this wonderful industry of ours and it’s ability to change lives, then you should want to shout it out to the world. I know I lose sleep at night just thinking about the potential of the industry. Sometimes I can hardly wait to tell people about what I do. Now, if you don’t have this level of conviction, it is difficult to go out there and share your business with others. It’s a catch-22. If you wait for the belief level to come, it may be too late. If you try to go forward without it, people will know you have reservations. So, first do what is necessary to get rid of the demons that are holding you back. Talk to your sponsor and team leaders. Move past your issues and start building your business.
Rationalization #2: Lack of Self-Esteem
So many people avoid talking to friends and family because they have no belief in themselves. This is a touchy issue and should be handled with care. Many people think their warm market will just laugh at them for taking a risk and becoming an entrepreneur.
If one of your team members is feeling this way, sit down and talk with them. Tell them the biggest challenge they will face after success comes is everyone they didn’t show the business to being mad. Maybe you have some friends you don’t want to talk to about your business. But how will they feel, after you’re earning $30,000/mo and they’re still working their tails off 60 hours a week you never even told them about the business? Why would they be upset with you? They may feel that you didn’t think enough of them to show them this business. So, tell them that when you invite them to look at what you’re doing.
Rationalization #3: Fear of losing credibility
Many times we fear losing credibility with people that we know … especially if we are high profile in our community or our profession.
We don’t want to undermine the very fear that exists in starting a new venture. It’s a legitimate one. The thought is why burn bridges that currently support you, before you know whether the new bridge will hold up. The solution to this is “balanced risk-taking”. If you don’t let prospects (warm or cold) know how completely convinced you are about this industry and your company, you will fail. On the other hand, if you flaunt your business around the office, you could lose your job. So, somewhere in between is the answer. You may have to postpone sponsoring everyone in your immediate work environment. But there are always sideline associates, former co-workers and clients. With these people, don’t hold back. Prospects need to know that you are a believer.
Rationalization #4: Embarrassment from Prior MLM failure.
Another common reason people will use to justify not approaching warm market leads is embarrassment. They are mortified because they’ve already been in 6 MLM deals and can’t stand the thought of approaching people they know again. It’s actually a very legitimate concern but it’s not adequate justification. These people now have one of the best approaches possible. Here it is:
Let’s say you’re talking to your friend Bob. “ Bob, you and your wife know that I’ve been researching the field of Network marketing. In fact, in an effort to become extremely knowledgeable, over the last few years I have enrolled in several different companies in order to learn from different experts. Well, I am happy to say that all of my analysis finally paid off. I’ve been able to master enough about the industry to pick up a handful of companies that allow people to earn $30,000 to $50,000 a month in the shortest period of time. I’ve spent a lot of time, money, and energy doing my homework and now I’m so excited I seem to be losing sleep every night. I need to talk to you as soon as possible to see if you would be interested in doing what it takes to earn this kind of money.”
See, instead of portraying the past involvement as a liability, turn it into an asset. You are the expert. If this is your situation then be sure to use this strategy when talking to your warm market.
Rationalization #5 Qualifying the Leads
Do not, before ever talking to someone, decide who is qualified and who is not, who will be interested and who will not, who is approachable and who is not. If a person has a small paying job, don’t assume they cannot build a dynamic organization. On the other hand, don’t assume because someone is a high profile professional, network marketing would be beneath them. Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of qualifying your warm list before you approach them about the business. The presentation process that you use is what determines whether a person is serious and is qualified.
OK, Let’s assume now that you are convinced of the importance of calling the people on your warm list. How do we approach the people we know?
First of all, remember that attitude rather than ability leads to real success; your biggest asset is enthusiasm. It also helps to realize that you are an educator, not a salesperson or a recruiter. Your job is to teach as many people as possible that there’s a better way to live and earn residual income. When you initially contact your warm market, don’t give a bunch of information out or answer a lot of questions. Your only objective is to get them to seriously look at your opportunity. Share your story and enthusiasm and then get them the information on the business.
Next, when talking with people who know you, the initial contact should not be a 3-way call. This is somebody you’re on a first name basis with. You would more than likely alienate them if you had a 3rd party on the phone. The best time for 3-way calls is after a prospect has been exposed to the business in some fashion. Then either 3-way in your sponsor or set up a time to do so.
Remember this … Never try to sell or pressure people into this business. It will only backfire on you. Many of your friends might join that way, but then you’ll spend your time pressuring and pushing them to do the work. This could damage your relationship with them. Remember that we are only here to educate people so they can make decisions for themselves.
So, start on your warm list. Do it today! The larger your list the more solid your business will grow. Your list is yours and yours alone and it is what gives you the edge for success. Don’t give into the rationalizations that distributors use to avoid their warm markets. If you let your doubts stand in the way, you will fail, but if you go forward and persevere, you will succeed. Educate people with the tools and resources of the business. And the last thing … Attitude is more important than ability in network marketing. It is your belief level and enthusiasm that will take you to the top.

Success University has been advocating the importance of personal development and success education. On top of that, through a powerful partnership with Feed The Children, Success University helps feed a child while feeding your mind.
It’s no secret that Success University believes in making a difference. And thanks to a partnership with Feed The Children, they are making a difference in countries across the world.
Feed The Children is an international relief organization whose mission is to “deliver food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty or natural disaster.” Domestically and internationally, Feed The Children helps empower these impoverished communities to sustain themselves for their long-term needs.
Sharing this vision with Feed The Children, Success University supports the organization’s primary efforts in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. A donation is made to Feed The Children for every student who enrolls in Success University. With corporate support like Success Universitu’s. Feed The Children also offers vocational training in carpentry, sewing, tailoring, mechanics, computing and cosmetology.
The partnership also brings training workshops into impoverished communities on the citu’s outskirts, enabling women and mothers to participate who cannot leave their families to travel to the San Pedro Sula facility. And for men and women who cannot afford to leave their jobs to attend the training. Success University’s support allows Feed The Children to offer food rations for participating in the training program.
“Success University’s continued support allows the program to expand in new directions and serve more people.” says Larry Jones, president and co-founder of Feed The Children.
Success University executives researched a number of charities before deciding to support Feed The Children. While some charities use much of their donated funds for administrative and fund-raising costs, executives are impressed that 86% of Feed The Children’s donations go to program services such as child care, food, medical, disaster relief, education and community development.
“Feed The Children’s reputation, history and what they are doing around the world are what really impressed us,” says Tony Michael, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Success University. “What they are accomplishing makes them one of the most impactful charities in the world.”

Why bother with personal development courses?Albert Einstein was quoted with saying; “Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them”.
This statement is key in the understanding of the importance of personal development. We cannot change our lives or do anything differently, make different choices, take different actions, until we have a higher awareness. This basically means becoming conscious or aware of the beliefs behind what is motivating our current situation. Once we become aware of these beliefs, we can begin to do things differently, because we can CONSCIOUSLY make a different choice.
There are a number of different personal development courses available on the market today that will help us grow and move our lives to the next level.
The personal development courses that go the deepest, are the ones that don’t leave questions, or conflicts in the minds of the person taking the course. When there are mental conflicts, the person will stop absorbing what is being taught because they are focused on the conflict or question. Sometimes, it is necessary to repeat a section of the material over and over and over again until the conflict resolves itself or the question is answered before moving on. It may seem like it takes longer, however in the end, it saves you time. If you go through the course without lingering questions, you will allow yourself to receive the information at a deeper and sometimes subconscious level.
Changes at the subconscious level are exciting because things seem like they are suddenly changing in your life, such as the way you deal with people, or the fact that you don’t have to struggle as much to make ends meet. It almost seems like magic, when you take the type of personal development training that supports you and your way of learning the most.
So why is personal development so important?
Because the need for further growth and development is crucial for your well-being, physically, mentally and emotionally and includes all of our relationships. And it comes in a package of getting to know ourselves better, what makes us tick, and then deciding differently.
Some say that personal development is “the gradual evolution or growth of a particular person to bring out their potentialities or capabilities making one more aware of ones own inner feelings or thought.” I like to say it is coming back to ourselves. We already have all of our potential capabilities within us… That is why there is nothing to fix. It’s a matter of becoming unconditionally responsible for ourselves at our highest potential and determining what beliefs we have the keep us in the illusion that we are not at our highest potential. See? Isn’t this much easier that putting all of our energy into trying to fix something that really isn’t broken? Personal development is realizing we are in the illusion that we are broken and having the courage to step into the truth of who we really are.
Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a legitimate business which is base on the concept of direct sale of services or products to consumers and allowing them (the consumers) to distribute the products at the same time. Independent distributors succeed in network marketing by building an active organization using a proven system that recruits business partners and sell real products and services.
Is network marketing an illegal pyramid? Let us identity the difference between the two. Illegal pyramid are based on taking advantage of other people. For a person to actually make money in a pyramid scheme, someone has to lose money. Money is earned through recruiting people usually at a high entrance fee with low value products or even without any products at all. But in MLM, bonuses are earned through the sale of products or services. Each distributor can multiply his or her efforts, skills and talents by helping others to be successful. Network marketing has now became one of the largest distributions of products and services to the world.
Network marketing is not a get-rich scheme. It is a serious business for people who truly want to succeed and attain financial freedom in their life. It works on a proven system that successful pioneer distributors of the company have gone through and becomes a blue print for success. New distributors just need to follow the simple, proven and duplicable system that the company provides. Furthermore, the start up cost for a MLM business is considered very low compared to starting a traditional business.
The real key is this: Network marketing is all about leverage. You can leverage your time, your effort and ultimately, your income! By helping the people you personally sponsor to sponsor others, you duplicate yourself. As this process continues, you create compound growth that can lead to hundreds or thousands of people joining your business. It’s a win-win situation!
Late Paul J. Getty, who created one of the world’s greatest fortunes, said “I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my own efforts.” This very basic concept is the cornerstone of network marketing.
Being personally involved in network marketing for the past 8 years, I truly enjoy the power of leverage on my time, efforts and income. To me, success is not just about dollars & cents or status, it’s about having the love, passion, good health and time freedom to enjoy my successes! Stay tune to my secrets to MLM success…
