Everyone and his brother (and sister)
keeps inviting me to join this site.
None of them realize I am ALREADY a
member of it. Well, maybe you aren't
aware of it yet. If so, go see --

(It's an excellent complementary training tool for professionals, business owners, representatives, network / Internet marketers, etc. -- and for people who are just fed up of negative and poor quality content of regular television which just maintains the slave cycle they are in instead of enticing them to positive personal development.)

Article 1: NETWORK MARKETING.........IS IT WORTH IT?

Dale Calvert, founder of WCL

Twenty-one years ago I was dragged to a meeting by my best friend at the time, David Collins. I walked in skeptical, when I walked out my life would never be the same again.

Is network marketing worth it?

Personally, and emotionally.....YES!

Financially? Only if you MAKE IT!


Let me explain. The last twenty years have been an unbelievable adventure for my family, and myself. Network marketing allows you to live a life of significance. Other than the ministry I can think of no occupation, or profession that allows you the emotional, psychological, personal fulfillment of network marketing. We all have the opportunity to make a tremendous difference in the lives of many people, because of Network Marketing.

I have said many times, the two biggest benefits of the business are without question:

#1 THE PERSON YOU BECOME, through the personal development aspects of this business.

#2 THE FRIENDSHIPS YOU DEVELOP


MLM FRIENDSHIPS

I was sharing with my friend and longtime business associate Roger Wagers a couple of weeks ago. One of our distributors is going through a major battle with his health. He is a tremendous human being who we both love and respect very much.

When he and his family suffer, we suffer. If it weren't for this industry, we wouldn't have the pleasure of knowing this gentleman and his family. However we also wouldn't have to endure the heartache that we feel as he battles his personal health problems.

What exactly am I trying to say? This industry neutralizes itself from a friendship standpoint. Yes, you will experience many more meaningful times with your fellow men and women because of this business. On the flip side, their will be those you love who will turn their back on you and let you down, there will be personal and family crisis that you will live through with many of the families within your organizations.

I guess the bottom line is, when your people suffer, you will suffer. When your people rejoice, you will rejoice. You must learn to appreciate and savor the good times, and during the tough times understand, that you can't have one, without the other.


MLM PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

I wrote an article in January of 2000 that was recently published in the April 2001 issue of Cutting Edge Magazine. The title of the article was "How to Guarantee Your MLM Success" but it was all about mentorship and the personal growth aspects of our business.

This is were you all have the opportunity to come out way ahead. As I stated earlier I believe the number one benefit of this business is THE PERSON YOU BECOME.

In the above mentioned article I talk about how it is possible for many people to become financially well off in our industry and still miss the number one benefit. Unfortunately, some people do the business WITH THE SKILLS AND ATTITUDES THEY CAME INTO THE INDUSTRY WITH, they never develop new skills and attitudes and thus never EXPERIENCE the number one benefit of the business.

Do you want to absolutely, positively guarantee that your MLM experience will be worth it? Then take advantage of all the personal development training this industry offers.

How do you know if you are growing? How do you know if you are maximizing your personal development potential? I am going to give you a GOLDEN NUGGET here that will absolutely positively tell you if you and members of your downline are maxing out your personal development potential.


PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT GOLDEN NUGGET

I have watched literally hundreds and hundreds of people go through this process. ALL and I mean ALL self made Network Marketing Super Stars make a habit of listening to cassette tapes daily! Most have also developed a love of books and reading, key word being DEVELOPED.

Those that miss the greatest benefit of this business, those who do it with the skills and attitudes they came into the business with, seldom read books, or listen to cassettes, unless of course they are the one speaking on the cassette.

Listen to tapes, even if you don't enjoy them...UNTIL YOU DEVELOP A TRUE HUNGER to listen to audio tapes! I have watched this process occur in individuals hundreds and hundreds of times. YOU MUST DEVELOP THE HUNGER for audio tapes.

When the HUNGER has been developed you or your downline member, will be maximizing your personal development and growth potential in this business. Until the hunger is developed you are not operating at even 20% of your true potential. I know this, I believe this, I have experienced this for 20 years!

In 1998 I did a Training Program called "Programming Your Mind for Success." I have received more cards, letters, and personal phone calls regarding this series, than any I have ever done. It truly is life altering if you are ready for the information. The program consist of an hour and a half video, three audio cassettes, "The Greatest Secret in the World" book by Og Mandino and other charts, graphs, and daily worksheets. If you are committed to taking your personal development program to an entirely different level, this program will do it. It is unlike any program on the market.

I share with you the exact steps I took to PURPOSELY program my mind for Success! Not only do I tell you how, I also GIVE YOU THE TOOLS to do it yourself. This program is responsible for helping hundreds of distributors go from MLM Mediocrity to MLM Success. This program was originally designed and put together for New Image Distributors only, and has never been available to the general public. I have a limited number of these sets available. Sitting here on the beach, right now I have just decided that I should make them available to the faithful readers of this newsletter.

If you are ready for this set email Stephan here to check if some are still available. Tell him you want the Programming Your Mind for Success Set.  This set originally sold for I think, $59.95. Anyway those of you who would like this program I will send it to you for $25.00 and I will pay the postage. This offer is only good while supplies last, and Stephan will give you instructions to order it if this is still possible.

A couple of years ago I received a phone call from a person who had been part of my organization ten years earlier. He and his wife were faithful distributors for a couple of years, then due to some family challenges, they gradually faded away.

When I met this gentleman he was selling lumber to lumber yards. He had been doing this for nearly ten years and found himself at a dead end.

When he called he simply said "Dale, I have been wanting to call you for a couple of years. I just want to thank you for turning me on to the right books, tapes, and personal development programs. Because of the couple of years I spent with you, I now own my own lumber yard. I would have never taken this step, if not for the time we spent together."

Ladies and gentleman, over the years I have received many similar cards, letters and phone calls. In my opinion, this is the #1 benefit this industry offers. For many years I have told our organization. "Give us a year of your life, plug into our training systems and programs and even if you don't make a dime, your life will be positively effected forever. At the end of a year, you won't recognize yourself!"

DON'T NEGLECT this aspect of the Business, if you miss this you miss everything.


MLM FINANCIALLY


10 REALITIES OF MLM INCOME

#1 Most people come into the Industry for the Money. They stay for the personal growth, friendships, and in some cases, the products.

#2 Most MLM Compensation Plans don't make financial sense. Granted, Marketing Plans alone, don't make you successful. 100% of zero is zero. You must perform in order to get paid. However most people get involved in a network marketing program as a recommendation from a friend or family member, not because the numbers make sense.

#3 If most distributors would stop and figure out exactly what they have to do to earn a $300 check, a $500 check and a $1,000 check with most marketing plans, it would scare them to death.

#4 As human beings, distributors naturally want the greatest rewards with the littlest amount of effort possible.

#5 Don't be impressed with ANYONE earning $10,000 a month in this industry! "Even a blind hog, finds an acorn every now and then" Be impressed by the number of people they have helped earn a $10,000 monthly income.

#6 Emotional loyalty is greater than the desire for financial gain. (For a more detailed explanation: MLM Bomb Shell)

#7 Most people settle for their MLM program becoming a good tax right off and great positive social experience.

#8 Most people GIVE UP ON THEIR MLM DREAMS far too quickly.

#9 The only way anyone can earn $10,000 a month with an opportunity during their first 90 days is to bring a large organization of people with them or be involved in some type of money game or scam.

#10 If it looks to good to be true................


From a purely financial standpoint, MLM makes no sense unless you make it -- you don't have to necessarily make it big, you just have to make it.

Granted there is no better financial vehicle to create passive, over ride, royalty income than Network marketing! PERIOD!

I know some people that truly only WORK THEIR business about 5 -7 hours a week. They are earning about $1,000 a month and think they are a failure. How ridiculous is that? How much money would you have to have in the bank at 8% interest to draw a $1,000 a month in PASSIVE INCOME?

We all need to have a reality check from time to time. If you want to make more money in MLM the formula is real simple. BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE!

However, if you want to make an extra $200 -- $400, unless your company has a Hot product that can be easily retailed, there are a lot easier ways to create extra cash flow for your family. Sell tools at the flea market on weekends or something!

As most of you know, this industry has made me a millionaire, but my focus has never been the money. I simply believed that if you developed yourself first, and became the best leader you could be...the money would come.

The Industry is full of "Heavy Hitters" who hit it big once, and have spent the remainder of their career trying to do it a second time. If you have ever heard anything I have said hear this... if you miss the two greatest benefits of this industry... the personal development and friendships... you miss it all!

Is network marketing worth it? Absolutely! If you commit yourself to personal growth and development and understand, nothing worth having happens over night. If you are willing to persist until you succeed, and let nothing stand in the way of you and your dream....there is no better way to fulfill your dreams than network marketing.

If you are looking for a way to get rich quick...you might as well play the lottery! IS IT WORTH IT?..YES!..BUT YOU MUST GIVE IT 100%! 90% of your results come from the last 10% of your efforts. Stay Focused, Stay Committed, and GO FOR IT!

Article 2: DR. NUNLEY'S MARKETING TIP: Marketing Plan On A Napkin

Some of the greatest marketing plans of all time have started off on a napkin. Legend has it the entire Star Wars movie sequence was first jotted down on a napkin by George Lucas more than 25 years ago.

Your napkin-sized marketing plan may be all you need to get your business or career on a more successful track. Start with a sentence that tells the reason for your marketing. What is your overall goal?

The next line should tell how you intend to achieve this goal (advertising in newsletters, magazines, on cable).
Next, write down your target audience.

Make a note of the niche you are filling. If you can't appeal to everyone--and few of us can--which specific groups will you go for? What unfulfilled need are you satisfying?

Wrap your napkin marketing plan up with how much you intend to spend on marketing over time. You might pour 10% to 15% of sales back into marketing.

Proven, tested, and very successful! Get the All-Out Promotion Bundles our customers love. Lower prices, better service, bigger values to quickly market your business or project. Press releases, ezine ads, and more! Get these value deals now: http://drnunley.com/marketing_plan.htm

A short history of medicine:

I have an ear ache.

2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
