Are you in the a COMMON QUITTER?

Have you reached all of your goals in business and networking?


Are you getting the type of prospects YOU want, or are you settling? Is your financial life as good as you fantasized it would be when you were starting out?


If you've got it handled - or even if you haven't but you're on the right track and you know you'll get there someday - great. Skip the rest of this article and check out my next articles. Now you would probably know that to be able to build your multimillion group, you need to BECOME A SPEAKER, A TRAINER and a LEADER right? Are you there yet?


Or is there some REASON why you will never have everything you want?

If you think there is, we have to talk.

In about 30 seconds, I will go through the most common reasons why people think they are limited in becoming a networker

• "I'm too short"
• "I'm too old"
• "I'm not good-looking enough"
• "I don't have enough money"
• "I don't think this business is for me (after becoming frustrated)"
• I don't have time

 let's talk about what's REALLY going on - at least for 99% of the you who have these "reasons:"

You're protecting your ego.

Saying you're too short or too old or whatever comes from the same place as when a guy says, "I didn't want him/her in my group anyway," or "she's just a bitch" when he gets rejected by a prospect.

Your ego does not like it if there is something you want, something you should be able to do, and you aren't able to do it.

Last week I was playing mixed martial arts with some friends. I had a bad game and got my ass kicked. It pissed me off. I wanted to make those shots and grappling locks and I should be able to. Then we went for a beer afterwards and played some pool. I absolutely suck at pool, so it didn't bother me or affect my ego.

So the guy who convinces himself that "I didn't want him/her in my business anyway," after she rejected him, is redefining the situation. Whether or not he could have had the prospect, he didn't want her. No big deal, no damage to the ego.

That's shortsighted, of course, because this guy is denying himself the opportunity to improve - to actually be able to get what he wants instead of making excuses about it. If you admit that you wanted his prospect but didn't have the right technique, then you can fix the technique. And next time it will be your buddies who are trying to convince themselves that they wouldn't have wanted that "Great Entrepreneur Leader" anyway, before he/she signs up.

Saying you CAN'T get your prospect, instead of just that you DIDN'T WANT HIM/HER, is even more self-destructive.

Now you've given yourself permission to compromise yourself and permission to fail. Like I said, I'm really bad at pool. So I don't mind a bad game and I can take some pleasure in the occasional good shot. That's fine for a bar game I play maybe one a year. It's not fine for life.

You've only got one chance at this "life" thing, so for anything important - and financial success and relationships definitely count as important - you're not here to give up. Giving up is the easier choice for sure - Networking for Idiots is not an easy skill to develop. Being able to pick up leaders in your business wherever you go takes time and work.

But it's worth it.

"Alright Clark," I'm sure some people are saying, "that sounds very inspiring and all, but the fact is that I actually AM short/old/ugly/poor/whatever, what then?"

OF COURSE these things matter. I don't know where anyone got the idea that they don't, but they do.

But lots of things matter. A nice deep voice matters.

There are thousands of things you can do to improve your success with your networking business. You don't have to do them all. No man in history has ever done them all. You just have to do enough of them. 

Network Marketing Lessons

Ayt, now let me tell you all about the upline-downline relationship lessons

Smart Upline - Smart Downline = New Leader
Smart Upline - Dumb Downline = Probable Leader
Dumb Upline - Smart Downline = New Leader (takes a longer time)
Dumb Upline - Dumb Downline = 2 dropouts

IDIOT Analyzes: What Do Manny Pacquiao and Great Network Marketers have in common?

The most popular filipino today is no doubt Manny Pacquiao, he is also among the wealthiest (that is, if he knows how to spend his money well). He is idolized, praised, endorsed and given much respect which is also similar to what great network marketers get.

Y'know what? Comparing them is so easy that I conclude the attitude you need to be successful in this business can be learned and applied at any field you want to excel yourself to. I'm not saying Manny has been a network marketer (although he was involved in a pyramid scam that has cost him more than 2 million pesos about 7 years ago), all I'm saying is that the things that make someone successful is global. 

Similarly, MLM legend multimillionaire Tom 'Big Al' Schreiter is a highly respected network marketer. He is recognized as one of the most effective trainers and marketers of all time. He has sponsored multiple co-trainers who have become millionaires and who have referred to him as a legend. 

Both are multimillionaires and both are well recognized in their fields.

So these are the characteristics MANNY PACQUIAO and Big-time Network Marketers like MLM legend TOM 'BIG AL' SCHREITER  have in common:

MLM legend Tom 'Big Al' Schreiter

Boxing Legend Manny Pacquiao

1. A great story to tell.

People already know the rags-to-riches of Pacquiao, everyone relates to him but not much is known about the life story of 'Big Al'. However, both have a humble background. They started with literally nothing and eventually one thing came up with another until they made their way to the top of their fields.

2. Great Work Ethic

Pacquiao can be a lot of things outside the ring. He is a family man, a congressman, a product endorser and a philanthropist.  However, whenever he trains for a fight everybody can feel the intensity as he trains 4 hours each day.

Schreiter runs a business that doesn't sleep. He dedicated himself full time into training and network marketing. His funny wit and seriousness during training is intense according to network marketers. However, he is a great guy to be around during his 'off' days.

3. Humility resonates

Pacquiao once told HBO: "I started with nothing, now i have something". That's why everyone loves him. He could have said 'everything' and no one would have argued but people love him because despite his achievements, he is humble and is always thanking God for the blessings he has received.

Schreiter, despite his popularity and demand, would never let his downlines bring out their wallets whenever he is around. He could be ordering them around and nobody would argue but he wouldn't. If you want to be trained, he'll train you. If you want your downlines trained, he'll train all of them.

4. Teachable

Pacquiao wouldn't be at his top today without the help of Freddie Roach's trainings and teachings. He is very open to changes in his game plan and he has great brotherly respect for his mentor.

Schreiter always emphasizes the importance of being trained by your upline sponsor. He explains that it was his uplines that made him one of the best trainors and mentors of mlm.

5. Working for others is a priority

You would always hear Pacquiao dedicate his fight to the Filipino people. 

Schreiter would always say: "Fulfill the dreams of the person whom you sponsored- THEIR dreams not YOURS, because if their dreams are fulfilled then you wouldn't have a problem with your dream."

6. Influence

Both have the power to influence and lead. This is the trait that propelled the acceleration of these two to the top of their fields.

IDIOT Strategies: Prospecting - Storytelling - Duplicating

The idea of prospecting-storytelling-duplicating runs deep roots if you apply this fundamentals in your network marketing.

His words are gold.

IDIOT's Guide: How one Little story can change your life

You know what real network marketing Idiot's do? They come up with stories. Now this is one of those damn stories:

Imagine you’re at work one day, and your boss comes to you and says,

“Bad news, we’re going to have to fire you. Business is bad. And the economy stinks.”

You feel depressed. No more career. No more regular paychecks.

And then the boss says,

“You know what? If you were to work just one extra hour overtime every day for free, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, we’ll let you keep your job and you can continue collecting your same paycheck.”

Now, what would you do?

Well, most people would say,

“Well, I will work the extra hour of overtime just to keep my job. I know I will be working the extra hour for free, but it is important to keep my present job.”

And then the boss says,

“Well, I know it’s kind of bad news for you but there is some good news. If you work an hour of overtime, Monday through Friday for no pay, just one extra hour a day . . . at the end of two years, we’ll let you retire at full pay.”

All of a sudden, how do you feel?

You feel like saying,

“Wow! Excellent! What an opportunity! Just work one hour overtime for free, Monday through Friday, and two years from now . . . I retire at full pay!”

So what would happen?

You’re working overtime and six months later one of your friends says,

“Hey, why don’t you quit doing that? You’re working an hour overtime and not getting paid for it.”

You say to your friend,

“No way! I only have 18 more months to go and then I’m going to retire!”

A year from now, maybe your spouse says,

“You know what, dear? You’ve been working that free hour of overtime for the past 12 months. Why don’t you spend more time here at home instead of working that hour overtime?”

You say,

“No, no, no! Just one more year and I can retire at full pay.”

And you would be at work faithfully, Monday through Friday, working that overtime so you could retire.

And you would be excited about the opportunity.

Well, we have the same opportunity to retire with our network marketing business.

We ask people to spend one hour a day, Monday through Friday building a network marketing business. And all you have to do is talk to some people.

And you don’t have to worry too much about what you say or how good you are, because you know what? You’ll get better. The longer you do network marketing, the more you’ll learn.

So maybe after the first month you say,

“Gee, I really don’t know what to say.”

The second month you get a little better and say,

“Well, I know the name of the company is the Wonderful Company.”

The third month you get better at this and say,

“I think this is a neat business. You might want to look at it.”

And the fourth month you get better and better.

Just invest an hour a day. And at the end of two years you might be pleasantly surprised and say,

“You know what? I can replace my full-time income and retire for the rest of my life.”

So – would you take advantage of that opportunity?

If you are like most people, you will want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. But, you won’t do it.

Here is why you won’t do it.

A little voice inside of your head is saying,

“But what if it doesn’t work? What if I waste an hour a day over those two years? What if I’m not good at this? I don’t know anyone who has retired in network marketing. I only know people who retired with a pension from a job. This might not be a sure thing.”

Yes, you’re going to have some doubt. You will have a belief problem. And that’s pretty natural.

So here is what we are going to do to help you with your belief.

To encourage you along the way, every so often we’re going to send you a check in the mail — just to keep your spirits up as you build your two-year business.

When you get these occasional checks, you will say,

“I know it works! I’ve got these checks to prove it.”

And that is why you want to start your business today.

IDIOTs would still think of it as a pyramid scheme

Most of the time people you talk to are Idiots thinking about pyramid scheme and the like.. just watch ^^

IDIOT's Guide on increasing Loyalty, Retention Rate

Alright let's face it. If you have already done network marketing you are going to relate with what I say. We know that in M-L-M, like any other business, most people aren't going to make it. Most people are going to leave. Most people are going to quit BEFORE they are successful. Most people don't commit themselves. Most people don't value spending time training themselves. Most people won't put in the time necessary to actually work their business.

After spending months of recruiting in my network marketing company and sponsoring hundreds of people I noticed that I was the only active player and the only person that was doing the works. My upline quit, my upline's upline quit and my upline upline's upline quit. Sure I was devastated at first but after studying the situation I understood the reason why and these are the common IDIOT reasons of quitting:

You can learn how to spot these greedy uplines
in one of my posts

1. There was a ton of greed and ego in the company

2. There was no upline support

3. There SEEMS to be a better company to join

If you ask me, everything was on the line for me to quit. However, a thought came to my head: All were reasons for the 'AVERAGE' person to quit. 

Though I couldn't deny that my uplines were snobs and are ony thinking about how much money they can make (one of them has even manipulated the money of his group and left off with it), my upline support is fading and a new company has just emerged and has tempted me to join in. I stepped back and decided to think of these factors as an OPPORTUNITY.

I reversed those factors and make it work for me. In fact I was glad that there was a 'clearing' of these junkies that will pave way for me to move to the top. The market for MY prospects has dramatically increased!

It is about time to HELP and TRAIN my downlines and monopolize the market with my core group. If you train your downlines, your retention rate goes through the roof. Their loyalty goes to you and will follow you wherever company you will go. 

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DOWNLINES will soon be posted. ^^
