My Free MLM Help

It is a sad day in Network Marketing as we mourn for the Distributors of XEL8 the suppliers of Bazi and functional beverage, who have lost their livelihood. Yesterday XEL8 sent at letter to all its Distributors informing them that they Board of Directors have elected to change the business model & that they would no longer be in need of their Distributors services. In other words they told them they no longer had a business or means to generate money effective February 28th & that no new distributors are allowed to join the company, effective immediately! (A copy of the letter sent can be read here on Rod Cook’s MLM Watchdog)

WOW! Wouldn’t you hate to get a letter like that? Not sure what happened but there are numerous lessons to be learned here as well as indicators it was coming.

Perhaps the ticker tells the tale.

Being a publicly held company (XELR) on the OTC BB, the company truly has a conflict of interest to all Distributors. The primary goal of all publicly traded companies is to pay the shareholders first and foremost. So where does that leave the Distributors? Second in line? Well, no not really. The company also has a profit it must make as well as meeting its overhead, you know like paying its employees, owners, the electric bill, the mortgage on the building, cost of product to be manufactured all those expenditures. After all these are met then the distributors! Wow, depending upon the list of expenditures on the company ledger Distributors/Independent Contractors can be far down the list. LESSON ONE; THINK AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE PARTNERING WITH A PUBLICLY HELD COMPANY!

Were any of the distributors keeping an eye on the stock value?

This graft is from Yahoo finance and shows the activity of the company from late 2003 when at that time the stock was valued at $15 a large discrepancy from its value today at $0.15 and going down. Read the 8-K filed with the Security & Exchange Commission as required by SEC law.

I am not sure if 2003 is when they went public or merged or changed their name or what, but as you can see it has been a downward slide ever since. So is it really that surprising that the Board of Directors voted to restructure and fire the distributors? Any distributor who was watching this would surly knows the jeopardy their positions were in since the strength of the company was heading to an all time low.  SECOND LESSON; IF YOU ARE GOING TO PARTNER WITH A PUBLICLY HELD COMPANY YOU NEED TO KEEP APPRISED OF THE STOCK VALUE & TREND.

Thirdly, did anyone read the contract? There had to be provisions in the contract, also known as the Policies & Procedures, to allow the Board of Directors to do this; or they would have major lawsuits on their hands, which they obviously can’t afford! LESSON THREE; ALWAYS READ THE POLICIES & PROCEDURES! This document clearly shows the integrity as well as intent of the Owner & Management. In the future make sure the contract fairly protects the interest of not only the company but of you as a distributor!

What saddens me most? Most people in our industry today still don’t know how to evaluate a company. This all could have been avoided if the Distributors did their due diligence prior to partnering with XEL8 or at the very least keep an eye on the numbers. All they needed to do was read a little book, which would have pointed them in the direction of obtaining all the knowledge they needed to prevent them from being in this situation today.

(Or Here I Go Again - I’m Gonna Get A Lot of Crap For
This One!)

Time for some Green fun… But first, a million dollar
tip:

I am a Green. No, I’m not a follower of Al Gore’s
Church of Environmental Insanity. I’m talking about my
personality type.

A really long time ago Hippocrates identified the four
basic personality types - but he gave them some hard to
pronounce names based on some disgusting bodily
fluids*.

Jerry Clark decided to label them with Colors a few
years ago - much easier.

Anyways, we Greens make up 35% of the population. We
are the analytical, unemotional numbers crunchers and
philosophers. We drive salespeople nuts because we
cannot be sold. We need all the facts so we can analyze
them to death and take our time to decide. We are very
slow to take action. Star Trek’s Mr. Spock is our
poster boy.

Here’s the tip: Make Your presentation and give us lots
of stuff and website links to take home. Then leave us
the hell alone.

Without this pillar in place, there is no point in
looking any further at a company.

Read the contract between the company and its
distributors. Most people never read it because, if
they did, then many would become quite upset.

It is often hard to find all of the contract. Many
companies have a short “Terms & Conditions” page You
must check that You agree to during the joining
process. The Terms & Conditions may contain a phrase
such as, “You agree to be bound by the Company Policies
and Procedures, Compensation Plan, and Code of
Conduct.”

Many distributors cannot see these documents until
after they receive their kit, and most NEVER READ them!

Pardon me while I take a break from the
Five Pillars for Success. Time for a little
critical thinking. I’m not trying to stir up
debate, just to open Your mind. This a long one,
so please bear with me…

Dogmatic vs. Critical Thinking

Lies, Myths, Money and Power

…and The Four Pillars of Deceit

Tom “Big Al” Schreiter taught me Decisions are made by
the Subconscious Mind, although we’d like to think our
Conscious Minds are in control. He also taught me how
to employ this knowledge to influence the Subconscious
Minds of others directly.

Unfortunately Tom is not the only master manipulator of
the Subconscious. There are many today and there have
been legions of them throughout human history.

I believe Napoleon Hill teaches us in “Think and Grow
Rich” how to break the bonds of manipulation and take
Conscious control over our thoughts.

First we need to understand something about Truth.
TRUTH resonates deeply within us and we recognize it
when we encounter it.

A quick tip shared by Susan Hanshaw to raise Your vibration is when someone asks You
“how are You?” notice your response.  Do You typically answer “fine”, “ok”, “hanging in there”?  Or do You respond with a resounding “Awesome”, “Fantastic”, “Fabulous”?

When You notice the way You answer this simple question it can tell You a lot about where Your vibration or energy levels are, and in turn what You are creating and attracting!

Check it out.  Just say, “I’m fine.”

What’s Your energy feel like? How  does that make You feel inside emotionally, spiritually?  Do You get an uplifed and excited feeling or do You just feel fine?

Ok,  now try saying to Yourself,  “I am AWESOME!” Say it with FEELING and conviction. (Stand in front of a mirror and SEE Yourself expressing that higher vibration - nobody will know!)

How do You feel now?

Be honest, do You feel the same as Your previous response or has Your energy increased?

The entire Universe and everything in the universe is Energy, including the feeling behind the words we choose to think and speak.  The words You use have meaning to You.

In critically thinking would it be in Your best interest to be aware of what Your projecting and attracting?

The next time someone asks You “How are you?”  What are You going to say?

Staying in the “positive” means aligning Yourself with Positive people.  If Your struggling or a bit frustrated and not attracting abundance in Your life and business, make a Critical Choice for Change.  You can start with our Free Ebook, Success in 10 Steps; download it today and see if Your Vibration doesn’t positivly change!

Have an AMAZING DAY!

I read an interesting blog by Susan Hanshaw I want to share about Raising Your Vibration to Attract What You Want

To simplify, Your vibration is Your Energy, and I think we all know our energy levels fluctuate on a daily basis.  I’m not referring to the physical here, it’s the emotional and spiritual Vibration I’m addressing.

I’ve often noticed a smile begets a smile (mostly, or I see shock on a person’s face that someone actually noticed them and smiled a greeting of hello).

The other night I came home from work and brought my “high” vibration with me.  Together my daughter and husband and I made dinner, had a light, uplifting conversation, teasing each other about our day.  I noticed I was doing a bit of a jig when cleaning up the dishes and entertaining my family with little quips.  Although my daughter was rolling her eyes at me she was laughing and so was my husband.

I noticed I didn’t get the usual grumbling about a hard days work from my husband or the “I’m fine” polite conversation of “pass the condiments please.”

My Energy was attracting and lifting my families vibration!

The point is I’m raising my energy level or Vibration and staying within the positive emotions that in turn attract more of what I’m putting out there.

Want a tip on increasing Your Vibration?  Check out my next post.  Want help in attracting more into your life and business?  Download our Free ebook, Success in 10 Steps and positively increase Your Vibration !

Remember the apple pie?

The first key ingredient is a pie plate.

In MLM, the Five Pillars are what a company needs to
have in place for the distributors to succeed. Many
folks search for something like the “Top Ten MLM
Companies” when looking for something to join.

This is OK if You are looking to invest. But, if You
want to be a distributor, then You need to dig a bit
deeper. For example, the number one MLM did over six
billion dollars in sales last year, but most of their
distributors are starving.

A Five Pillar Company is one where the average person
can achieve above average results.

This week we’ll look at Pillar #1.

Pillar 1: Does the company management have personal
experience building their own networking organization?
Have they done it with Integrity?

• Search Google for the owners of the company.

• Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word ‘Scam’
to your search.

• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an
in-the-field Network Marketing background?

• Read your “Policies & Procedures” and “Terms &
Conditions”; both are part of your Legal Contract.

• Look for the word “Ongoing”.

• Look for policies that strike you as
“Unreasonable”. Like “Termination, with or without
cause”.

• Ask yourself “Does this contract protect me or the
company?” “Is it clear which way it leans?”

• Does the company charge you for training or a
company web site?

• Does the company charge you for each paycheck they
send you?

• Rules of Thumb:

• The longer the contract, the greater the
possibility that the policies important to you
are being hidden in “Legalese”!

• If it’s a “Cash Only” business…It’s a Scam!

• If you can buy a position at the top…It’s a
Scam!

• If you are offered a “Special Deal”…the
playing field isn’t level for all.

• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly
reduced price…Buy there instead.

• If a company is publicly traded, Financial
Decisions Will be made in Favor of the
Stockholders at the Expense of the
Distributors.

For further enlightenment,  get the free
e-book, “Success in 10 Steps” in the
upper left corner of this page.

Next time, Pillar #2.

I’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical lately mainly due to a simple question that penetrated deep to my very being.  What do I want?  What do I vision?

Simple, right?  Little did I know I’d sit back, take stock of my life as it is now and find this so difficult to answer!

What do I want?

For starters, I want freedom, of course, doesn‘t  everyone?  I want freedom from debt, stress, preconceived notions of who I should be; freedom to be with my family and be there as they discover their own true selves; freedom to choose how I live, where I live, what I do with the time afforded me on this earth.  Freedom to live to my highest potential, to unleash the person within and contribute meaning, service and hope to whomever I meet.

Well, heck, I reside in the land of liberty, so what is stopping me?  And, what does this have to do with being a critical thinker?

Everything, I’m discovering.

I’ve started and stopped myself many times on this particular journey.  Intellectually, I “get” everything I’ve been reading on personal development, focus, goal setting, desires, organized time;  it’s getting what I know from my head to my heart that’s giving me a bit of trouble.

Decisions, or choices are made every single day. I decide or choose to get up and out of bed, ahh, my first choice of the day.  I can then choose to dress, not dress, eat, not eat, go to work, not go to work, and so on.  Simple, everyday decisions that have a huge impact on my life as well as those in my life.

A Dream, Desire, or goal shouldn’t be a burden; rather it should motivate me into some type of action everyday.  It shouldn’t paralyze me into in-activity!  Is it residual from past experiences?  Have I allowed my vision to become a burden instead of a desire?

Set backs, resistance, support issues or approval all can dampen even the most enthusiastic of intentions.  It’s Your choice to allow Yourself to be influenced by them.

Today, I’ve decided it’s Easier Done than Said; I’m making one choice, one decision of action today towards my goal rather than gulping down the entire dream.

It is a Critical Choice to do something rather than sit back and let Your Dreams slip away.

Everyone knows You need five key ingredients to bake an apple pie:

1. A pie plate,
2. A pie crust,
3. Some apples,
4. Sugar and spices,
5. An oven.

What happens to Your apple pie if You take away any one of those five ingredients?

Everybody knows the answer.

The same thing applies to MLM companies.

You need five key pillars in place for You to succeed with a company. Take away any pillar, and You get the same result You would get with the apple pie.

Now, I’m not talking about what the company needs in place for IT to be successful.
I’m talking about what the company needs to have in place for YOU to succeed with it.

For example, the largest MLM in the world had over six billion dollars in sales last year,
but most of their distributors are starving because of a missing pillar

Most people don’t know what the five pillars are, and don’t know how to figure out whether an MLM company has them or not.

Over the next few weeks, we will share the Five Pillars with You.

If You are impatient and want to learn this stuff right away, then download “Success in 10 Steps” - the book in the
upper left corner of this page..

Meanwhile, we’ll discuss Pillar #1 next time.
