Oh my...how did we ever get the name 'human BEings' when we are so fabulous at just DOing...
Do you ever hear yourself or others almost bragging about all you DID that day..or all you have to DO today...? Why don't we hear ourselves bragging about BEing...?! That's funny!
Maybe we should be called human doings instead....OR we can embrace that BEing part of ourselves and allow all the abundance, joy and prosperity to flow into each of our lives on a daily basis!
Who is BEing out there..and how are you doing that? I have been a student of personal growth for 13 years...and I have learned and even applied LOTS...I GET the Law of Attraction...I intend to live by inspired actions and to ALLOW the flow in...but here's where I get stuck...it's in the BEing... and according to some..that..and that alone...is THE KEY to it all!
So..do tell...how does one "BE"?

A Million Dollar Education
A MILLION DOLLAR EDUCATION…
THE 12 CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING A NETWORKING BUSINESS:
WE ALL KNOW ANYTHING IS “POSSIBLE” BUT THE QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED IS WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF THIS VENTURE SUCCEEDING? SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE BASE THEIR DECISIONS ON PROBABILITY…NOT POSSIBILITY. WITH 12 YEARS IN THE HOME BASED BUSINESS INDUSTRY…I’VE LEARNED SOME LESSONS…ALLOW ME TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU AND HOPEFULLY, SAVE YOU SOME TIME AND MONEY BY MAKING A BUSINESS DECISION BASED ON CRITERIA, NOT AN EMOTIONAL DECISION BASED ON HYPE.
When a company meets all 12 of these criteria, it’s not a given (never is), but the PROBABILITY of you picking a winner shoots through the roof.
Use these to measure, compare and contrast the opportunities that you are considering:
COMPANY TRACK RECORD – start ups- greatest chance for failure hands down-very low probability of success. Look at a company’s domestic growth…consistent increase year to year. Industry’s long term companies are those where a lot of people are doing a little bit. Is the company geared for the 80%ers or the 20%ers? Most are geared for the 20%ers. If you want to build lasting, residual income, look for the companies that are geared for the 80%ers and the ones with staying power.
FINANCIALLY SOUND – Debt free, 5A rating with Dunn & Bradstreet, not publicly traded(recruitment goes parallel with stock changes)
MANAGEMENT – Look for companies hire “Best of Breed” – top 10% of Fortune and Inc. 500 companies, not the corporate guys who are mlm or the networkers with egos who go out and start their own gig.
UNIQUE, CONSUMABLE PRODUCTS – Look for products that are habitually used and unconsciously purchased so people are not making buying decisions…only shopping decisions. Look for product lines with unique elements, superior quality but familiar, consumables that people need and purchase on an ongoing basis. Your job becomes so much easier when you don’t have to convince. Look for companies that research, develop and manufacture their own products. Quality control is a big issue. Look for the GREAT companies who have the philosophy of never creating “just good” products, but always strive to create the greatest products on the market.
COMPETITIVELY PRICED – HUGE factor here. Many products in our industry are overpriced. That’s a fact. Look for the one’s that are fairly priced. How do they compare with Walmart etc. People want deals, plain and simple. We need to appeal to the masses.
HIGH REORDER RATE – For true residual income, this is a MUST. If the reorder rate is low, then you’re constantly starting over. Look at the numbers.(if you can get your hands on them). You’re looking for 90% or higher reorder rate, documented. Unfortunately, the industry standard is abysmal in this arena making companies with 35-40% reorder rate look great. Not exceptable for those looking for their last business, not their next one. Look hard here.
LOW PERSONAL PRODUCTION REQUIREMENT – Can your Grandma do this is she wants? Is there something in it for the little guy?
LOW ENTRY FEE - Appeal to the masses.
LOW ATTRITION - Looking for less than 10%. Want residual income? Look for a company with a low attrition rate. It matters.
TIMING – Biggest indicator of success here is the domestic sales graph. Look for consistent growth, no flat lining. Is hyper growth part of the picture? What about critical mass? Where does the company fall with those indicators?
NO BREAKAWAYS – Simply put, stay away from breakaways. Not acceptable.
NO RISK – 100% empty bottle, money back guarantee including membership. If the company meets all the criteria, they can afford to have a guarantee like that. Can people win if they want to, but not lose if they decide not to win? Big question.
PROBABILITY…not POSSIBILITY…and you just may have found your last one, and not your next one! GOOD LUCK!
