The Power of One
Kurt
When a new person becomes a business partner in a networking company,
they are at least initially intrigued by the amount of money available
with our plan.
It doesn't take long to see that with just a bit of effort, a very
sizable income is possible to those that are ready to really dig in
and get to work.
The challenge is that many people seem to give in to the 30 day
curse.
This is what happens when someone buys into the idea of making a huge
income within 30 days or the opportunity just "isn't working". These
folks typically end up just bouncing from one "opportunity" to the
next looking for that magic lottery ticket instead of actually
focusing on building a solid long-term successful business.
Amazingly... they spend years getting themselves into a financial
predicament and then expect to simply enroll, hang out for 30 days,
and watch their financial picture change overnight.
If you fit that particular profile, you are going to be sorely
disappointed but you have the power to change that.
A decent comp plan will reward diligence and a solid business
approach. It's not a lottery system or a "sign up and get rich"
system. By introducing other people to your program, you can build a
nice income for yourself.
Yes, there are people who seem to take off in a big way. Most of the
time, these are people that already had a list of their own from
previous marketing ventures and they are able to "kick start" their
business by tapping in to those lists. This is great and we love to
see that sort of success.
But the reality is that even the most basic beginner can make a
tremendous income with a good system if they do a few things
consistently:
1) Realize from the very beginning that it is an actual business and
is going to require some time and effort on your part.
2) Take at least a part-time approach instead of a spare time
approach. If you focus and dedicate 15 to 30 minutes a day, you can at
least begin learning this system and start building your income.
But you have to truly set that time aside. Wake up 30 minutes
earlier.... stay up 30 minutes later... skip a sitcom episode on TV.
The bottom line is that if you truly want to succeed, you will. But
you have to decide and commit to your own success.
3) Set goals based on reality... not pipe dreams and hype. Would we
all like to some how magically join that "right" opportunity and watch
our bank accounts spill over the top with new deposits? Sure. I'd take
that money and have a great time with it.
But here is the reality: Those "overnight success stories" we all are
so fond of reading about usually take years to develop. What we just
about never hear about is the story where today's millionaire was
close to bankruptcy just a couple of years ago. We don't read about
the number of nights they just didn't go to sleep but worked through
the night on various ideas, opportunities, business plans, etc....
Instead, once someone does realize the fruit of their efforts and
achieves some level of success, the media jump all over it and make it
sound like this guy was just sitting around one day and POOF! A great
idea knocked him out of his chair and he was rich the next day.
Believe me. It didn't happen that way.
You are here because you see the possibilities for yourself. You hear
what we're saying here and you said, "You know... this really makes
sense. I bet I can do this."
And at that moment you caught the vision. So let's take a moment or
two to find out how you can measure your progress and achieve your
goals.
Below are some numbers based on something that is very simple and very
powerful. It's called:
"The Power Of One" and it goes like this:
This concept is based on you getting just one new referral each month
and teaching that referral to do the same thing.
Understand that this will not cause you to become wealthy overnight.
In fact, for the first few months, it may seem like not much is
happening at all. But if you stick to the plan, the results can
absolutely amaze you.
Here's how the numbers play out over 12 months:
In your first month, you are learning the system. You are reading the
training articles and figuring out how things work. By following the
training and promoting your site, you are able to refer 1 new business
partner.
You work with them, showing them how and where to find the training
articles, how to promote, etc... and they refer 1 new person.
You now have 2 business partners in your organization and you have
earned some income. Depending on what you spent for advertising,
leads, etc... you probably didn't even break even.
This is where the whiners begin to say things like, "I am spending
more money than I'm making. This doesn't work."
And they quit.
But not you. You know that success is a matter of focusing on and
working toward your goal of financial independence. You know that if
you could make just a few hundred extra dollars per month, your
family's situation would change in a big way. So you continue pressing
toward your goals.
In Month 2, you continue working with and supporting your 2 other
business partners. You are showing them how to refer others and it is
working. They each get a new business partners. You refer a new
business partner yourself.
You now have a total of 5 business partners and you have earned even
more money.
In Month 3, you continue this same process. You show each of your
business partners how to personally refer 1 new business partner and
you refer another one yourself.
Your earnings are climbing now. You're not exactly rolling in the big
bucks yet but you are seeing progress.
In the meantime, business partners that have given up are sending you
ads about how they have found the latest and greatest thing and you
really should join them. This is probably their fourth or fifth "great
deal" in the past 3 months! You've been there before. You have the T-
shirts lining your closest, but this time you hang in there,
determined not to repeat that again. But you're not that sure, but
somehow, you plod on......
You shake your head, invite them to come back and work with your team
and then focus on building your business.
In Month 4, you continue this process. By now, you are earning enough
in regular residual income that you are more than covering the monthly
subscription fee for your account.
You continue building because you are referring at least one new
business partner each month. Your earnings are now starting to really
go up because your organization is doing the same thing. Your team is
working together and things are starting to pick up.
In Month 5, this keeps going and because you are personally referring
new business partners. You are witnessing some pretty nice income now
and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In Month 6, you are starting to see things build up some solid
momentum. Your earnings took a nice jump and your bonus is building up
quite nicely.
By Month 7, you are really glad you stuck with the system. Your team
is working together very well. Your organization and your checks
continue to grow. This is starting to feel easy. (You and your team
are building momentum).
By Month 8, you're earning enough to cover a very nice car payment,
maybe pay off some credit card bills, or have a little getaway weekend
with your spouse or friends.
By Month 9, you are really getting excited. You are starting to see
several hundred dollars per month and you know that things are going
to keep building because you are more focused than ever. You are
probably referring more than one business partner per month now and
you've got some folks on your team that are really starting to take
off.
By month 10, you crossed over into that area where you are making over
$1,000 per month in regular earnings and you are now in the leadership
range! Congratulations!
You've stuck with your plan this far and it is really starting to pay
off.
By Month 11, you are starting to think about firing your boss! (Or at
least paying off some of those debts). Your income is high enough now
that most people would be able to consider quitting their regular jobs
and doing this full-time.
By Month 12, you're making the kind of income that most people just
dream about and you're doing it from home on your computer. By now,
friends and family are starting to ask, "What are you doing now?" and
things are so much easier than when you started.
Here is how the numbers really stack up with my "Power Of One"
approach:
Month 1: 2 business partners
Month 2: 5 business partners
Month 3: 11 business partners
Month 4: 23 business partners
Month 5: 47 business partners
Month 6: 95 business partners
Month 7: 191 business partners
Month 8: 383 business partners
Month 9: 767 business partners
Month 10: 1,535 business partners
Month 11: 3,071 business partners
Month 12: 6,142 business partners
Now you can see that your income is truly unlimited and you are doing
very very well. Life is good!
Now for the hard cold facts:
Most people in life give up before they ever get to see these kinds of
results. If you were to set out on a journey from New York City to Los
Angeles, you would cover well over 2,000 miles... closer to 3,000
miles before you even saw Los Angeles looming in the distance.
Imagine going 2,500 miles and then quitting. You didn't reach LA at
all. You might even go back to New York and tell people, "Los Angeles
doesn't exist. That whole thing is just a scam to get you to buy more
gas and drive a lot.". Of course, there are millions of people living
in Los Angeles. They know it exists. You just didn't finish the
journey. To reach the desination, you MUST COMPLETE THE JOURNEY!
Your results will vary from this chart. This chart assumes a perfect
mathematical world. As we all know and experience, the world is not a
perfect place and things do change.
I know business partners that are WAY ahead of schedule on this plan
and I know people who are a little behind schedule.
If your business is not growing at this rate, that's OK. You can catch
up, believe me. If your income level matches Month 3, Month 4, or
Month 1 (regardless of when you actually started) then commit today to
begin working from that point forward.
Say to yourself, "OK... I'm at Month X... I am going to start from
here and focus all the way through Month 12 and beyond."
Go back and review the Training Articles and your business partners.
Let it sink in just how simple this plan really is. We have been in
business since the year 1995 which is amazing in the world of Internet
marketing.
Thanks to some tremendous leaders, we are growing like never before.
People are starting to catch on to the power of picking and working
with a solid company with a proven track record instead of bouncing
from one hyped up offer to another.
When you see how powerful this system is, commit to doing three
things:
1) Buy and use your products
2) Share the plan consistently for at least a year.
3) Teach your organization how to do the same.
Some will stick with the plan, some won't, so what? This is a fact of
life. Some will stay right on course. Others will exceed your
expectations and this plan.
The point is to focus and stick with it to see the results you want.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Your upline is there to help you, so use them. When things aren't
looking too good, THAT is the time to contact them. The whole world
can be negative and will push you away from your goals. Sometimes
only your upline will tell you that you can do it, and when things are
tough, it's then that you especially need a word of encouragement, so
call your upline right then. It can make all the difference in
whether you're financially independent soon or back on your job, in
debt and defeated!
And, your fellow business partners are just a click away, too.
I want to see you succeed and I am looking forward to great things for
you!
