You Don’t Produce More Milk By Squeezing Harder


Network marketing companies are like a dairy farm. If you needed more milk, would you squeeze harder, or would you get more dairy cows?

Companies call it “raising the bar.” Suddenly, distributors have to buy MORE product to qualify for commissions. So the company forces the distributors to pay for the new $28 Million Home Office. Or the 100 new operators in the Call Center.

Companies that charge reps $19.95 or $29.95 or $39.95 a month for the website to look at their downline genaeology … THAT stuff should be free.

That $20 or $30 or $40 a month is virtually 100% profit to the network marketing company. They want to increase their bottom line. But instead of getting more cows, they squeeze harder.

More Squeezing

Companies that change compensation plans are squeezing harder. They know their reps have built to maximize rep income from the current comp plan. So a totally different comp plan will ALWAYS throw a monkey wrench into the rep’s design and increase the income to the company.

Companies that want more milk start changing comp plans, they charge for more Back Office doohickeys, they force you to order more product to qualify for commissions.

Or they do the RIGHT thing, and get more cows.

Which way does YOUR company play it?

How to identify a SCAM


An Attorney General would ask these two questions:

1 - Would a logical thinking person pay this much money for the product or service if there was not a business opportunity involved?

2 - Does the income stop when the recruiting stops?

If the answer to the first question is "No" and/or the answer to the second question is "Yes",
then it is a scam.

Earl Nightingale inspirational Quotes for a Rainy Day

If Your Company Leadership Is Bad, You’re a Goner!


Before you join a network marketing company, be sure to check the background of the company leadership to make sure they have MLM experience, with integrity. A simple Google search will often surprise you.

Not doing this background check is a common mistake, often fatal to your business. When the management team has built a downline themselves, they respect you. Companies are nothing without us - the reps. If they could sell their products themselves, they’d just put some magical ad on the internet somewhere and people would come to buy in droves.

But it does not happen.

Why? Because it takes you and me to build the relationships with the prospects, so they buy from us.

And how do you know if your company leadership has integrity? Simple. Read their company Policies & Procedures. Then you will know.

99.9% of the people you talk to want to build a business and then retire and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

But these companies have come in the backdoor like snakes in the night. They’ve changed their Policies & Procedures, adding phrases like “ongoing sales”, “ongoing recruiting,” “continuous”, “regular meetings.” You cannot retire – even though they’ve promoted early retirement as one of the main benefits of their business! It’s amazing.

If you retire, they can legally terminate you!

Does that show any integrity? Does that show any respect for the reps who built the company, who brought the business to them? Absolutely not.

Your Policies & Procedures are THE contract between you & your company. They are written by the company lawyers. You’d better know for certain what YOUR P&Ps say.

Play the ''Find Your Excuse'' Game

Think and Grow Rich is one of the best books ever written.

I'll call this small part I'm sharing today:
'' 99% of excuses are well planned lies''
Please give this a read and you'll be surprised to see how many
of the excuses listed in this chapter you've used in your life and how often :


'' People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure, and have what they believe to be air-tight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement. Some of these alibis are clever, and a few of them are justifiable by the facts. But alibis cannot be used for money. The world wants to know only one thing----have you achieved success?
A character analyst compiled a list of the most commonly used alibis. As you read the list, examine yourself carefully, and determine how many of these alibis, if any, are your own property.
Remember, too, the ph
ilosophy presented in this book makes every one of these alibis obsolete.


IF I didn't have a wife and family... IF I had enough "pull"... IF I had money... IF I had a good education... IF I could get a job... IF I had good health... IF I only had time... IF times were better... IF other people understood me... IF conditions around me were only different... IF I could live my life over again... IF I did not fear what "they" would say... IF I had been given a chance... IF I now had a chance... IF other people didn't "have it in for me"... IF nothing happens to stop me... IF I were only younger... IF I could only do what I want... IF I had been born rich... IF I could meet "the right people"... IF I had the talent that some people have... IF I dared assert myself... IF I only had embraced past opportunities... IF people didn't get on my nerves... IF I didn't have to keep house and look after the children... IF I could save some money... IF the boss only appreciated me... IF I only had somebody to help me... IF my family understood me... IF I lived in a big city... IF I could just get started... IF I were only free... IF I had the personality of some people... IF I were not so fat... IF my talents were known... IF I could just get a "break"... IF I could only get out of debt... IF I hadn't failed... IF I only knew how... IF everybody didn't appose me... IF I didn't have so many worries.. IF I could marry the right person... IF people weren't so dumb... IF my family were not so extravagant... IF I were sure of myself... IF luck were not against me... IF I had not been born under the wrong star... IF it were not true that "what is to be will be"... IF I did not have to work so hard... IF I hadn't lost my money... IF I live
d in a different neighborhood... IF I didn't have a "past"... IF I only had a business of my own... IF other people would only listen to me...


IF***and this is the greatest one of them all...if I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it. Then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know there is something wrong with me, or I would now be where I would have been if I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.
