Mamma Told Me Not To Go!
by Robert Blackman
It's
sad, but true.
We all went against our Mother's wishes at least ONCE in our lifetime.
If
your Mother were in charge of your MLM efforts like she was in charge
of you cleaning your room and brushing your teeth every day, what
would she say?
Would
she say:
"Now,
Robert you're already in one MLM, you don't need another--especially
before bedtime"?
Or,
would Mamma say,
"Robert,
you're not going to another one of those MLM meetings, Conference
Calls,or Web sites until you finish what you started!"?
If
Mamma would of only been there to keep me focused on my MLM program.
If
Mamma would of only been there to keep me from joining a hundred
"MLM deals" this last year!
Just
like "3-Dog Night" you and I know what's best for us--but
we do the wrong thing anyway at times.
Like
giving up on our MLM program before we've given it a "chance".
Hey,
remember my training from the 7-Day MLM Crash Course:
"All
MLM Programs Work--It's The People Who Don't Work Them"
Today's
lesson is simple.
FOLLOW
THROUGH.
We
all get excited and join a MLM and then quit.
Like
joining a MLM is all we have to do.
Wouldn't
that be nice?!
We
all get excited and join a MLM and then start looking for another
one the same week.
Why?
Joining
a MLM seems to solve our problems.
Joining
a MLM is just the first step.
Your
second step is "PLUGGING INTO" your uplines system.
Your
third step is "FOLLOWING THROUGH" with your uplines sytem.
I like
the 100 call rule.
Don't
go to another meeting or web site that doesn't have anything to
do with YOUR MLM until you've talked with 100 people about YOURS!
Get
100 "NO's" and you've gained my respect.
Duplication
starts with Following Through.
If
you're not following through, there's a 99% chance that neither
is anybody else in your upline
or downline.
That's
why it is so simple to make money in this business--there is little
competition.
Or,
I like to say:
"There
is little traffic on the extra mile"
Imagine
a highway where you're going 100 MPH and you see NO other traffic
on that highway.
That's
the highway I drive--
Route
MLM
It's
8 lanes wide and they're all mine!
I made
it on Route MLM because I followed through with my leads.
I made
it on Route MLM because I talked with at least 10 people before
my head hit the pillow every night.
I made
it on Route MLM because I created a system that everyone could use.
Whether
they used it or not wasn't my concern--I just handed out the road
maps--that was my job.
Without
a road map your downline will get lost!
And,
no, they won't stop and ask for directions either--especially if
they are of the male persuasion!!!
The
key to my success is that I answered the phone.
And
when I did answer the phone I gave directions to where my downline
wanted to go.
All
too often we get caught up in "finding the right deal"
when we're already in the right deal--if we'd just work it!
Stop
listening to your prospects and downline members about other MLM
programs.
FOCUS
for a change.
Try
it.
Try
it for the rest of the year.
You've
got about 2 1/2 months until January 1, 2001.
Do
you think you can focus on your MLM that long?
Do you think you can give it all you got for that long?
Do you think you could double your check in 2 1/2 months?
I do.
Be
a "Rand McNally" of MLM.
Be
a map salesperson.
Give directions.
Point people to where they want to go.
Do it cheerfully.
I get
paid to talk and write.
I'm
just a guy with a computer and a dream.
I "do"
MLM because I get a kick out of it.
I "do" MLM because I get a thrill out of it.
I "do" MLM because nothing else compares to it.
My
3-year old Son just came in my office and told me:
"Dad,
you're not going to my Birthday Party"
Yes,
he's 3 and yes his birthday is months away but he's mad at me for
not playing with him.
It's
my job to give my Son direction in life.
Sometimes
that means that I just sit in the floor and play with him.
Sometimes
that means spanking his little "bootie" now and then.
But,
more importantly, my Son is looking to me for direction.
I don't
necessarily like the way he asks for my attention and direction--but
I know he needs it.
So
does my downline.
Just
like my 3-year old, if I don't give my downline attention they'll
be saying:
"I'm
not going to be in your downline anymore!"
Yes,
I'm 38 and I swear at times I act 3!
We
all do.
Face
it.
We
live in a world of 3 year olds at times.
You
could call it "Organized Chaos"
MLM
is nothing more than giving a bunch of 3-year olds direction.
And,
I mean that in a postive way.
Stop
thinking that your downline is going to do all the work for you.
Get
off your rear and go into the other room and see what's going on.
If
you don't like what you see, get some more in your downline.
But,
if you ever want a "guaranteed check" in this business
you have to be like a Parent.
You
have to "SUCK IT UP" when you don't feel like.
"There
is little traffic on the extra mile".
There's
a reason for that.
Go
the extra mile.
Burn
the midnight oil.
Your
days are numbered just like mine.
Make
an impact today, tomorrow, and the rest of the year.
Stop
complaining and whining when you don't get your way.
Mamma
told you to clean up your room--just do it!
Sincerely,
Robert Blackman
