When you start something new is hard to know ahead of time what tools and knowledge you’re going to need. Combine this with a natural resistance towards spending money on an unknown venture and you’ll likely wind up lacking something that’s essential to your business.
The funny part is when I was a traditional entrepreneur, I spent thousands and thousands of dollars a month on rent, employees, marketing and so much more BUT when I began a home based business…..I got cheap!
Well, not totally true but there is a tendency to “hold back” and not spend money and I can understand being careful but the reality is you need to make right decisions for your business and this often means spending in the right areas when it comes to tools, services, marketing and lead generation AND the right business model.
Let me give you an example. My first attempt developing an online business utilized cheap domain names (.biz, .info) and web hosting which impeded my ability to have a professional looking web site. The truth is I felt overwhelmed entering a new industry and market. There was simply too much to know and I didn’t know where to get the right information to make my business a success. When things looked liked they weren’t working I often times switched gears or abandoned that idea but this meant a loss of time and money. It took some time but I began to turn the corner.
Knowing When And Where To Ask For Help… This is the key and you need to find the person(s) that will help you get where you want to get WITHOUT all the HYPE and GURU stuff as this tends to only empty your pockets and has little to do with putting money into your bank account.
Simply take a step back and look at your business with “objective” eyes. Does the model make sense and what is your expected outcome? If you’re building an M.LM do not over think it but realize you may need to apply yourself for 3-5 years in order to build a sizeable organization that pays well.
If you’re into affiliate marketing and have a gross commission of $30 per sale; analyze that and realize you will need to sell 100 of them in order to earn $3,000 monthly (less marketing expenses). The above is not good or bad; simply look at this from a business point of view as I did for many years in my traditional and offline businesses.
Okay, great advice but what does this have to do with tools, your mindset and making money?
Your mindset can be destroyed if you see failure and after failure and weeks, months and even years go by without the success you are dreaming about. So, look at your business and decide if it’s the right “vehicle” to get you where you want to go. If it is, great! If not, pick another “horse” and ride it.
Next, seek a coach or mentor to advise you on the tools or services that are “must have” to help you succeed and avoid the $3k Guru programs for now and just get practical advice. This doesn’t have to be expensive.
Finally, develop you inner game, your mindset. Who are you talking to, who are you connecting with and what books are you reading?
Just to let you know, hanging out on Facebook is not the secret to getting rich…great social media but you need to take action and implement. More on this later….
Stay Strong!

I’m asked all the time about how to make money and to be honest with you I hardly knew the answer for a long time. You see I am not much different than you and others that simply want to make some money from home but get caught up in all the fancy systems and techniques; then another one and then another one…
I was blessed with abundance because of the real estate and mortgages for many years but when the market fell apart I looked at making money from home and chased all the product launches and gurus with this idea and that and finally realized that the answer is not all that complicated.
You might be building a network marketing company, direct sales or simply looking for a way to make $1,000 to $4,000 weekly and want something turnkey without all the hype and craziness.
I’m not here to pitch you on ANY MLM but do want to provide you some insight as to what can work for you as it has for many.
What’s the bottom line? Well, you need prospects for your business, you need targeted prospects and you need a steady flow of them. Does that make sense?
Of course, that’s only half the story…. Imagine that your goal was not to pitch your business but to focus on building a list of people that you could eventually connect with and then some of them join your business and then imagine making money from the list along the way.
This sound familiar to you but I’m not talking about PPC, SEO or fancy smancy (and costly) ways to try and build your list. The biggest concern people have is that they get confused in “implementing’ this process and marketing funnel.
Here’s what you need:
1) A way to find tons of targeted network markets and people that want to make money from home.
2) A system that will contact all of these people without you making one cold call to any of them.
3) Getting through large numbers to identify those that have an interest and those that don’t (sifting and sorting).
4) A turnkey system that presents your business to people in a professional and ongoing manner.
5) A follow up system that is literally “set and forget” and continues to remind and lead people back to you and your business.
6) A system that can do all this and do it for a nominal expense such as doing all of the above for about $20 bucks per 1,000 network marketers.
There are tons of ways and strategies to make money online and this way is a little “old school” because it does not require you to be an internet genius and it’s a system that is already done for you. It’s called the Press 1 Marketing System and can be used to build any MLM, Network Marketing or Direct Sales business such as Top Tier and more. If you have ever studied awesome marketer Jay Abraham you would know that you need multiple marketing pillars to be successful in case one does not work as well as you would like; the others pull their weight.

There is so much confusion right now as to how to build a successful home based business. I can totally understand that as I too fell into all the GURU ideas and opted into list after list to find out the HOW of making money from home.
I woke up and decided to stop the insanity! I began with unsubscribing to tons of list as those emails were nothing but a distraction for me with a new idea, strategy or secret. I’m not saying to unsubscribe to all lists but the majority need to go.
Begin with the end id mind….have you heard this before? That is right. What’s your goal and what do you want to accomplish? Maybe it’s to make $250 a day or to have X number of people in your MLM or this or that. Let’s start real simple here…. Make sure you have something of value to offer to your prospects, make sure it is FREE and that they also perceive to be of great value and then drive people/traffic to this site.
You can send people to your company replicated MLM site BUT that doesn’t work very well when marketing and driving traffic. Some of the reasons are: its looks generic, amateur and if they aren’t interested in your business; then they are out of there.
After all…what do you do…? You need to build a marketing funnel that allows people to easily and freely check things out. Maybe you offer a report an audio or some other training to help then with THEIR business.
A good marketing funnel will offer a real value to your prospects, present your business and then those interested sign up and those that aren’t can see what offers you have for tools and services to continue to build their business.
The neat thing about that is you monetize your list and it helps pay for you marketing costs and then some while you build your primary business. Your prospects should continue to gain value by the information you send and you build a rapport with that person.
Remember people buy from those they know, like and trust…..
There are several marketing funnels in the marketplace or you can start from scratch. If this is fairly new to you, simply go with one of the services as there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
Here’s an example of one http://www.Join-The-Tribe.com
Decide what your outcome should be and then back into that and finally generate leads to “feed” into the funnel and let them go through the process to discover your future business partners and those that will simply take advantage of something you offer to help them build their business.

1. Connecting with People – We have all heard of know, like and trust BUT a huge mistake people make in prospecting, marketing and sales is that they will can not build a strong rapport or connection with their prospects before pitching them on their business; Nuriche or any other. This makes the business very difficult, no fun and full of rejection. Plus others see your business (the business you want them to join) for only “sales types” and just a pitch-fest. Simple remember to create the relationship first, the “friendship” and the rest will tend to fall in place. If you don’t have a good connection with your prospect, you’ll never know his/her real objection. It sounds corny, however people want you to be interested in them, to care about them and if the connections is there it opens it up to discuss their concerns, objections and desires for your business in a much more open and easy manner. This if often overlooked and if you place this into practice, people will trust you more, connect with you better and that will result in sponsoring more people.
2. Pre-qualifying – This is another common mistake and part of the process that is overlooked. Some of you may know that I spent years as a mortgage company owner and a very successful loan originator. Pre-qualifying a prospects come from years of experience in that prior profession to determine the best and highest use of my time. You see a prospect that could not buy a home (terrible credit, no job, high debts, low motivation, unrealistic expectations, etc) was not really a prospect and more like a suspect. Many loan officers did not understand it and I see tons and tons of people in network marketing that just don’t get this either. A prospect will have a genuine conversation with you and will ask questions but they make sense. A suspect wants to make $10,000 a month but has no money, doesn’t know anyone, wants to know why they can’t get in for no-cost, thinks network marketing doesn’t work or whatever else but you get the picture. You must develop a series of questions to ask prospects and/or a marketing funnel to filter through and separate the real prospects from the suspects for your Nuriche or other business. Develop a set of questions (or check out my next article or video) that will take a prospect through a few key questions to see if there is a basis to spend time talking about working together.
3. Find their WHY – What they are looking for and why? Take time to discover and find their need as it is different for each person. In fact, I made a huge mistake for many years and missed this step, sponsored people into my program anyway and then wondered why they never did anything (but complain or drift away). Fortunately, if people have come through your marketing funnel; chances are you’re not talking to someone unless they have a strong desire or WHY but you need to figure out what it is. Take people through this process and you will weed out the people that usually are you big time wasters and end up with better prospects for your business.
Follow these three easy but powerful steps to gain maximum leverage on your Nuriche business and align with better partners to go on and build a successful business.

It’s kind of funny to see the MLM guys in one corner and the Top Tier guy in another as to what is best. I have to tell you the truth; marketing is marketing and you just have to find something you like and then apply yourself.
I want to explain in detail a system called the Press 1 Marketing System and you can see the pros and cons and see if it is applicable to your business and style. I’ll be blunt and direct and on the surface it may seem like just a voice broadcasting service and it may stir up the emotions of that being old school or “I always hang up on those things” and you would be partially correct, but…. The Press 1 Marketing System has gone well beyond a simple calling service as they have incorporated sizzle calls, which is old school but believe it or not work very well to get people to take another step forward.
At the end is just simple, they combined a few tools and bundled it in such a way that it’s a turnkey marketing system for any business. One tool using a simple to use system whereby plugging in a keyword you search for active network marketers online by company name, niche and you can even search by geographical area and more. You can have 100 or thousands of prospects.
The net tool extracts leads of active people in a home based business and/or MLM off of Craigslist and it is so easy to use that a 10 year old can do it.
Now you have fresh leads of network marketers; now what? Well, you use the system to contact them (about $20 US for 1,000 network marketer connects) and the system presents via a landing page, sizzle call and a webinar presentation in a completely turnkey manner. That means, no more cold calling, no more chasing friends and no more buying old and stale lists of “opportunity seekers”.
Finally, the system takes all these leads into the built in auto-responder with all the messages loaded to bring those people back to you. I want to address the “I hang up on all those messages” argument because I thought the same.
Two things:
1) It targets people already active and in the business and the professionally recorded calls are, awesome and meant to attract their attention.
2) As all things in sales; it’s a numbers game. How long would it take you to call 1,000 people? Let’s say you really committed and called 50 people a day and did this 5 days a week…it would take an entire month as opposed to doing this for about $20 to call those same 1,000 network marketers. The best thing is no negative people, no rejection, no leaving tons and tons of voicemails and it calls them in less than 15 minutes!
At the end not everyone will join your business but all of them want a way to make more money in THEIR business and the strong and automated affiliate aspect to the program monetizes your efforts along the way. Hey you won’t get rich but this alone can add $1,000 a week to your bottom line and maybe more.
This is bigger picture thinking; but imagine if you had just 5 or 10 people on your team (whatever MLM) to do the same and you all called 1,000 people a day or a week?
AMAZING!, that is something that not only duplicates but even if 10 people sent out just 1,000 messages each and only 3 times a week would mean over 100,000 exposures on your team monthly.
My last comments is that on the negative side it will take about an 60-90 minutes to set up the system and you will need a little bit of marketing dollars after you have paid and signed up for the program. On the positive side it is “done for you” with no special knowledge or expertise needed, you don’t have to be a superstar salesperson and in addition to the great training calls and webinars; it’s just a turnkey system to either build your present business or go full bore marketing the Press 1 Marketing System as the affiliate and overrides are very good.

A lot of people is anxious to make money in MLM but few know what effective strategies they need to deploy once they have talked to their friends and family. This Press 1 Marketing System review, is meant to provide an overview of details (pros and cons) and to understand some of the key components to this system.
The problem is that most, if not all network marketers simply do not have enough leads and there is usually an unwillingness to get on the telephone and call, call, call. I’m not advocating that strategy but we all know that sales have a lot to do with numbers.
Therefore, when considering any system, tool, service or marketing method; all you need is more leads, more people that will see your business presentation and an effective way to contact them, sift, sort and once presented a great follow up system.
The Press 1 Marketing system is actually a few tools bundled in such a way that they work well together to turnkey as much of the “heavy lifting” in your business. Anyway, this system , it suits many network marketers because they don’t have to learn complicated online strategies, create landing pages and there really isn’t a learning curve.
Two of the tools target using keywords right off the internet for active network marketers and the other searches for people actively advertising in order to promote their business. This is AMAZING because these are people in the game now and someone can focus their efforts on people that already like network marketing and the approach is brilliant and quite simple.
Therefore, once you own the tools there are no monthly fees and you can access as many leads as you want from 100 people to literally thousands and thousands.
The other tool is a voice broadcasting system that is the cheapest cost in the industry that I have personally seen and bills in 6 second increments unlike others that have a 30 second minimum. This is very important because the majority of people will hang up and if you only pay 6 second billing all those hang ups will be a nominal expense. In testing, the average cost is $15 to $20 per 1,000 network marketers contacted. That’s worth reading again!
How long would it take you to call 1,000 people yourself? Honestly, this is assuming you were willing to go through the torture of calling the numbers, getting people to hang up on you, leaving message and wading through the busy and disconnected numbers. Well, if you called 50 people a day for 5 days a week, it would take an entire month to call 1,000 but with the Press 1 System you can do that in less than 15 minutes.
This Press 1 System also provides large affiliate income and up to 3 income streams and it doesn’t take much thought to see the benefit of earning $200-$800 referral fees and even overrides. This alone can pay for all your marketing and even be a solid income source without you having to create your own marketing funnel, mastering PPC or having to do ANY cold calls. Your primary focus here would be to acquire the system, set it up and then drive traffic to it via social media, classifieds, videos, list builders and of course voice broadcasting to name a few.
On the other side people say that they don’t like receiving message and I will agree that most will hang up. How many do you need to watch your presentation out of 1,000; would 10-20 be good?
On the positive side it is turnkey and the marketing funnel and more is done for you and it is literally “plug and play” for any business, you monetize your efforts along the way, avoid any cold calling or chasing friends and all prospects warm up to the idea via the automated follow up emails and then call you; that’s nice.
We know there isn’t ANY ONE system or tactic in order to succeed but this has merit and should be investigated further.
There really are more bells and whistles and nuances to this Press 1 System and you can go a head in click the link for greater details and marketing strategies: http://www.GetLeadsRightNow.com

P.S. Let’s connect on my blog at http://www.CoachAlRod.com
Want to find out more about mlmleads, then visit Coach Al Rod’s site on how to choose the best mlmtraining for your needs.
I don’t know about you but sometimes life gets us going in many directions and sometimes it’s good to STOP and focus for a few minutes. Do you remember your; WHY when you joined your MLM business?
Did you want wealth, health, happiness or…..? Whatever it is, take a few minutes and write down ALL the reasons why you joined your MLM business. There are no wrong answers as they are your reasons. Are these reasons compelling enough for you and are they causing you to take the daily action needed to succeed?
I don’t know who are you or your needs, But, I know people after having personally coached many for years and if we don’t have this WHY clarity, we tend to lose enthusiasm, question the opportunity or ourselves.
Today could be the day that you simply assess and decide where you go from here. I’m in no way saying to abandon your MLM business but even that could be an option for you.
Pretend today is the first day of your business and do the following:
1) Write down all the reasons WHY you are doing an MLM business?
2) Write down a simple action plan with dates and expected results.
3) Take immediate action.
4) Measure your results at least every 30-days.
Now this is meant to be a simplified action plan and will work for most people. This is meant to have you think about all of this and then take immediate action. If you want a generic place to get free motivation and training then go here: http://www.Join-The-Tribe.com
In addition, I suggest you connect with someone that can serve as a coach, mentor or at least partner in your opportunity. If you don’t have someone in yor present opportunity to partner with then either keep searching upline, decide on another company or pick up a good book today and begin to feed your mind with “good stuff” but…but…but more importantly take immediate and consistent action right now.
There are so many ways to build and succeed and you only need a few focused ideas to implement and succeed. Don’t buy into the GURU hype and their secret sauce formula; just keep it simple and implement daily. If you need ideas on how to generate leads or market then go here: http:///www.Join-The-Tribe.com Or simply do it!
The bottom line is, get clear, get into action and keep going as you adjust along the way.

After all my evaluations about how to build your MLM and Home Base bussiness, I want to share with you the series of Mindset articles to help you build your MLM, Direct Sales or Top Tier program. Before I go over the 6 steps there are three things you really, really need in business and they are:
A) You MUST have the right mindset. Now I know that you hear about all the personal development talk and some of you may wonder if it really matters or whether it’s all a waste of time. I can assure you this is the most important part of your success. If your mind is right, then the rest will get figured out.
B) You MUST have the real WHY. That’s right WHY do you do what you do? This needs to be an emotional, gut wrenching process that will get you into action and I can assure you it is not about the $10,000 a month. Your; WHY will get you through the tough times and sticking points in your life and business and this needs to be in writing and referred to on a regular basis.
C) You need a system to get enough people to see your opportunity. A steady amount of people looking at what you have to offer is simply a numbers game. This holds true whether you are doing offline or online marketing or both. More on this later.
The next 6 steps are taken from my recent study (re-study) of Napoleon Hill and the book, Think and Grow Rich. In chapter 2 a short exercise is discussed to help you achieve anything you want and I have outlined it here for you. Write it down on a sheet a paper and do each step and make sure to review regularly:
1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient to say that you want plenty of money. Be definite in the amount. There is a psychological reason to be definite. When you study in a MasterMind group that teaches you to Think And Grow Rich it will become clear as to why this exercise is important. When you study in a MasterMind group that teaches you to Think And Grow Rich it will become clear as to why this exercise is important.
2. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. There is no such reality as something for nothing. The only way you can get massively rich is to contribute massively to society. It is the law.
3. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
4. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire. Begin at once, whether you are ready or not to put your plan into action. You can refine the details of your plan. It is important to not just think about the plan, but do something now. By taking action, you will have made that commitment to your subconscious mind.
5. Write out a clear and concise statement of the amount of money you intend to aquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
6. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring for the night and once after arising in the morning. As you read, see, feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
You may or may not have been familiar with this in either case TODAY is the day you can apply this in your life and business.

I don’t know about you but this has a lot to do with your mindset, your positive outlook on things and that equates to the success you have OR don’t have. Aspiring entrepreneurs need the support of their spouse or partner. Fortunately, my wife is 100% supportive.
I know some people, who sadly enough, will never succeed because their spouse runs around saying things like, “That’s a waste of time”. If your spouse or significant other is angry you’re spending time working on something other than your “real job” its going to be difficult to start a business and work around the negativity they feel.
If you have a supportive spouse, then that’s super important and keep going, take lots of action to action to inspire that continued trust and support. What if you’re not married or you don’t have a significant “other” in your life? Simply, find a person or persons that will be very supportive of what you’re doing. Focus on those that will cheer you on and make you feel 10 feet tall. However, this is not just some mind game you MUST take action, implement and be a leader in your business because if you don’t take it seriously…no one else will and then you are left with people that doubt you. You don’t want to go there….
Okay, what if you DO have a spouse but that person is not supportive? So, do they have reason to feel this way? Have you been a “let down” and are you acting responsibly?
You cannot turn back the hands of time BUT you can take action TODAY!
Decide you will succeed, set some new goals and take immediate action towards their attainment and keep going and going. In fact, decide if your business is really right for you and if you need to change your business model; then do it! In the meantime, find a coach that will provide some positive feedback as you develop this mindset muscle.
You start making money and your spouse will come around; so less talking, less excuses and more action and implementation each and every day!
You can do it! Coach Al Rod
For stuff on MINDSET AND SIMPLE MARKETING , and NEED A BIZ THAT PAYS BIG MONEY; RAMPS UP QUICK .
Early on, I realized to succeed required getting and developing the right “mindset” to be my own boss. This meant getting over self-defeating talk and convincing “me” that I could do it.
I sold myself on the idea of going into business for myself, but that didn’t take away the realistic fears and insecurities. I began as an independent mortgage broker with my sister as a receptionist in a tiny little office and I poured over Tony Robbin audios and listened to Les Brown tell “me” how I can do this or that no matter my circumstances or present situation.
I started the business without any paycheck, no set date when the money would arrive, and even worse I worried that the money might not show up at all.
This became my biggest fence to climb.
However, I kept going and eventually grew that operation to three offices with over 40 employees and even opened a Real Estate franchise some time later with over 40 people there as well.
This is not to impress you but to impress upon you that YES the obstacles will come but you must continually feed your mind with good books, great audios and even a coach or mentor to keep you going on those “not so good” days.
However, today I work from home and have no desire for that large overhead and responsibility but the same discipline and mindset tactics apply. In fact, they are even more important if you’re where at home due to a lack of a real social group.
Just take one step today towards a better you. No lip service, just do something you have been putting off, pick up that Think and Grow Rich book and simply make an improvement today.
You can do it! Coach Al Rodriguez
