Future Proofing

Does it take a long time to build a business where it is protected by future proofing?

How do you create a real residual income when people that you bring in don’t last, grow, and just simply complain?

Let’s take an inside look at how you can future proof your online business.

Why do people don’t last and not future proofing their business?

Learn from Lawrence, who started mlm in 2006 and went online in 2008.  He built a blog in 2009, and truly took SEO seriously in 2010. In 2011, built his business to 10k, and now can really share the concept of future proofing your business.

1. Why people don’t last?

Lack of cash flow. If your cash flow is low, and all you think about how much something cost, you are not going to last with your buying mentality. You have to understand that you have to test your return on investment. Think about those teachers you pay for. How much do you invest on the training you recieve from a specialty teacher? Say piano, voice, coaching?  You have to understand how much is involved to what you are going to get from it.

When you don’t have a self generated cash flow from job or other means, it is hard to start unless you have a funded proposal in place. A funded proposal is coming from the traffic, autoresponder, and the first product you offer people. You must take these steps to grow your prospects and grow your business. This is how you build a reputation if you have a follow system that you can create with your prospects. A lot of people drop off because they do not get their return on investment fast enough.

Once people are committed for 6 months building a list, you can see the difference of who is committed to change their future proofing in their online business.   Watch the thousands of dollars you spend on marketing your online business and the junk you accumulate that does not work. Or you can not apply correctly.

Then came along Empower Network. Lawrences goal was to make 12k per month, and has accomplished his goal. You need some sort of stable income of about $200 to $500 for 4 years where you can realistically make this goal. Compare this with a college education, of spending 15k per year for a college degree. This all goes back to your why on why people do not grow.

2. Don’t grow?

The lack of application over time. You are not doing testing, building or growing. You have to grow and test every marketing strategy. The programs and training in mlm is mainly learning a specific function for you to improve your business. There is a certain creditablity you get when you learn these strategies. Eventually you are paid what you are worth. Do you believe you are worth $50k a month.

Time is on your side. You must reproduce it by simply tell others (17 hours), blog daily (1 hour). How do you do it part time? Those are the ones that have some money that can pay for the tools to be profitable. Use Coops and buy traffic. Grow into your business.

3. Complaining?

You see it all the time. How can you make a full time living on building a list? How big does it need to be? On average, most people building a list make $1 per person. Lawrence has built his business funnel and can build one rep to building $1,000.

How do you crush complaining when future proofing?

You need to find your why. Why are you in business? You can complain with why your spouse is complaining on how much you are spending on marketing. You can complain on why you are up in the middle of the night figuring out your marketing strategy. Downlines love to complain. You have to break down and go back to their why and what is efficient for their time. You can drive people to success.

Build traffic, and use all your resources, offline and online.

If you are on building a list, bring them in Empower Network first, then MLM, then only 5% will do more online marketing with MLSP and really work an online marketing strategy. The confusion can be on how you really profit from the backend residual opportunity in mlm. Don’t get this barrier messed up. They will only sell you HOW to build an mlm. But they have crap downlines. They don’t know how to effectively build a team. A team that will duplicate using effective strategies. Mainly offline that will help those around them, friends, family, locally. Plus online that they can do more massive strategies beyond your network.

Back ending on a mlm product and your own product. Know how much of your income comes from each. You either buy time, or make money then make them call you and ask what you are doing. It’s a fine line and process.

Bridge the process of helping bridging your process of building a prospect online to offline. You must connect with them on the phone. Now if you are making more than $5k per month. You never have time to talk to prospects, only customers. The behavior of the phone with customers is duplicatible. The attention span is different. How fast you can do it depends on this factor. The tools offline is not as pricey as tools online can be. What are you doing today to build your business?

Are you building a list, a brand, and are you good with your time? Fundamental process. Understand that your money is going to come from people. Know how to grow, keep retention and build drive to future proofing your online business.

The first place to learn the inside strategies and connect offline to online is to attend events. The first event in Empower Network is in Atlanta, GA. Learn how you can get in on the round table strategies that take place at an intimate setting to truly take people’s business on the next level in order to keep future proofing your online business.

Global Views of The Business

Posted by on April 27, 2012 10 comments

This webinar on April 19th talking about Global Views of your business.

When you look at the global views for your business, it forces you to look at a bigger picture of where you need to take your business. With the technology of the internet now, we can really expand our market beyond the local market and the “who you know list” that many thrive on.

Where do you need to take your business from a global views stand point?

In the network marketing business model, systems are used primarily to get leads. This doesn’t mean you are going to make money, but that is where your money is gonig to come from. Understand the focus of using a system to generate leads so you know the quality and type of leads so you can get to convert them into sales and money on the back end.

Traffic is not the only solution to generate leads or sales, but you need to understand what kind of traffic is in order to get leads and sales.You can get sales without someone becoming a lead. But you miss out on a few key components:

1. When they become a lead, you can send them more information and learn more about your business. Through the different communication styles, you can do this through email, text messaging, videos, social media in fan pages, groups and much more.

2. When they find more about you and your business, they can see more social proof of people being successful or relating to the same problems you have. Social proof has been a powerful strategy that helps people make that buying decision much easier and less stressful.

Another reason why you should lead with getting a lead first, is to then show them more products or services you offer.  This is very key in the network marketing niche, as you would profit more from getting a lead first.  Then promote your network marketing opportunity.

Having global views of leads coming in your business, what do you lead with first?

Global views

You can capture leads with global views anywhere in the world.  Especially in paid pay per click marketing.  Like in Facebook or Twitter, you can really narrow down the location as well as niche keyword people are talking about.

Since there are companies located all around the world, it is important to know where you want to target people to get them converted into your business.  Using a system like Empower Network or My Lead System Pro, capture pages allows you to target anyone in different locations or niches.  This is why you should start with a system like these to aide in generating leads first.

Focus on attracting the right prospect in looking at global views and leads for your business.  Take a look at these traits and focus on attracting the right people, no matter what global views they have.

Trait #1. They are Self-starter. Self-starters are people of action.  They don’t just sit around, the simply go get r’ done! Self-starters make decision easily and fast.  They just have confidence in a way that even if there is failure, you know you will learn from it and move on.  As an example, you need to generate leads, but on a tight budget.  This may be limiting, but you stay focused in a way to continue to strive to focus on the next level.  As a self-starter, you would go to work about gathering information pertinent to your search. Your search could lead you to developing and designing your own website or a blog. Your primary objective is a system to promote your network marketing business opportunity.

Trait #2. Self-starters are Self-motivated:  The self-motivated MLM person has a lot of motivation and drive. This is because each one of us is a unique being. One person’s motivations may be different from everyone else’s. Hope’s motivation for starting an MLM business could be to earn $1,000 per month or more even $20,000 per month. Or it could be that she wants to home school her 2 kids. And that requires earning an income working from home. Your level of motivation is dependent upon your purpose and level of commitment. It all depends on your dream.  Vision it for your success in what you will create.

Trait #3. Self Starters are Creative. Creative Self Starters are those that naturally have extra ordinary ideas.  They often come up with good ideas and problem solving solutions. Self starters have a global views in place as they are solution oriented. Solutions become their middle name because they focus on finding solutions, rather than dwelling on the challenges. The gist here is this, if you have a limited advertising budget, you would get to work finding all the available free advertising medium instead of sitting back thinking over and over how limited your budget is. As you are being creative using the free methods, the motivation is to your creativity would result in expanding your MLM advertising program. You would also have the knowledge from research and this would lead to resolving the problem and creating an additional income in the process.

Trait #4. Self Starters are Self-disciplined. A self-disciplined network marketer is one who does not need someone standing over. They do not need someone to tell them what to do.  This comes back to the habits or mindset from when we grow up and are under our parents rule, or under another boss as an employee.  The self starters do not need anyone telling to get something done. They determine what needs to be done, then set aside time to do it. A network marketing business may fail, but a self-disciplined individual does not accept that they are a failure. They simply learn from their mistakes and use them as a tool to attain maximum success.

Do you have these traits as you look into the global views for business? 

Once you are able to attract these traits, stay consistent on your daily activities for success.

Daily Activities to Global Views in Your Business

1. Commit and spend more time focusing on “why” things happen rather than “how” they happen so that you unlock your creativity and make your own way of “how to”.
2. Blog Daily and continue with your blogging challenge.
3. Dedicate yourself to constant learning. Spend 1 hour a day listening to Inner Circle audios inside Empower Network.

4. Learn something new and then blog about it.

5. Watch the first 3 videos of the 15K Formula on the psychology of content marketing, social syndication and SEO basics.

As you continue your strategy, it takes the dedication and consistency to bring you results in your global views for your business.
