Today’s question is….

I’m really trying in my business, but how do I deal with an unsupportive spouse?

ANSWER

This can be a doozy, so some questions to ask yourself -

Does my spouse support me in most areas?

What other areas does he or she not support me?

In my gut, what do I feel this lack of support is based around?

Have I tried other “things” spent other “money” and not been successful? IF so, why was I not successful? Be honest. Did I really go all in, give it everything?

Have their been multiple things?

Does my spouse understand how my business works? Understand Network Marketing? Is it just a lack of education?

Have you asked to sit down and go through it with an open mind to at least understanding it?

Create a space where he/she can see beyond the hype and propaganda some reps put on MLM.

Robert Allen, John Gray, Brian Tracy, to name a few big names.

Make a decision, and I mean a REAL decision. Decide if you are all in, and then schedule a family meeting.

Sit down, and share your goals, your reasons, your heartfelt desires and let them know what you would most like from them, how they can support you, and what you would like to do, as a family and a “team” when you start making money.

No hype, no BS, just real, raw and committed. Then, listen. Answer questions and DO NOT get defensive.

Most often, the break down is in communicating effectively. He said/she said and everyone assumes. Lots of things.

Share what you intend to do, write out a business plan that’s based around your actions and activities. That’s all you can control. But, and here is the Big BUT - be ready to commit to that plan. Don’t be a talker. Talk is cheap. Be an action taker!

I do promise you this, when you can “show them the money” - things can begin to change. Not for everyone, because with some, it’s a much deeper issue. But for most, success, in the form of monetary compensation has a way of turning the biggest of skeptics into happy believers!

Good luck

Are you afraid of picking up the phone to call prospects about your Network Marketing business? Have you ever wondered about working with leads?

Today's podcast features my interview with Dialing For Dollars Gal Tracy Monteforte. Tracy was a school teacher looking for a way to be home with her newborn when her sister introduced her to Network Marketing.

She has had her share of ups and downs in MLM, including having a company close down in the US and being forced to move to another company. After joining a leads company, she began to master the art of working the phones, dialing for dollars and calling leads.

This show will teach you how to make friends with your phone!

From running a successful family business, to finding network marketing, to troubles with the federal govt, to court, to a shocking sentence, to prison, to success again, now a speaker and trainer on a worldwide stage.

You think you have challenges in your business?

When I first met Lisa, it was March, 2013 at the Association of Network Marketing Professionals event in Dallas, where we both spoke on the Social Media Panel. Somehow, I had missed her name in the MLM profession until about a year earlier.

Listening to an interview she did with Eric Worre, I became intrigued to meet and get to know this strong, yet gentle, ambitious, yet kind, seasoned and sweet person.

Today, the opportunity to interview her and draw out a little of her story brings me huge joy and a sense of satisfaction!

In 1988, she was introduced to Network Marketing. She had the good fortune to become part of a company that in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s was a starting point for where some of the greatest network marketing professionals of today began their careers. As she worked her way up through the compensation program in that first company, she was working hand in hand with the best of the best.

Today, we are going to cover the power in developing stories and becoming a good story teller. You’ve heard it before - Facts tell, stories sell. And, yet think how many times we are tempted to blurt out nothing but the facts and features of what we are offering. As you are building rapport with people and building on those relationships, the stories you share about your life and how they relate to your business.

You will learn how to create a solid story to share so you can handle that question - How is it working for you? Once you can handle this question, you are well on your way to what you want. You’ll learn the importance in what you say and how you say it, so you don’t come off as salesy or like a telemarketer, which can be our worst fear, right?

You must become a master communicator to be successful in your business and it all starts with telling stories.

Donnie Walker, who brings over 23 years of experience in our profession to the show today, is an inspiration with his "never quit" attitude!

He is a self proclaimed graduate of the MLM school of hard knocks, since 1991, and has reached the top of at least 3 companies, only to start over again when his values did not aligned with those of the company. He is strong on honesty and integrity.

His quote - "I love this industry for what it can do for the person, that doesn't think they can have more in life. Network Marketing can change lives forever."

Multiple times, Donnie has built groups of ten and twenty thousand, only to find himself starting over when things didn’t line up.

So, I asked him - how did you start over? Did you go back to your list; your old downline, or what?

He started back in the time with no cell phones, fax, internet and the per minute charge to Australia was $25 a MINUTE! He incurred thousand dollar phone bills.

While nothing beats the face to face encounter, Donnie was truly an early pioneer of the internet, back in the early 90s with Compuserve, and then AOL, and met lots of people in a chat room called MLM Live.

He can still name hundreds of people he is still friends with from that room.

Donnie is a true Network Marketing Master

Social Media - the word - didn’t exist, but he was “doing it!”

Instant Messenger was built by networkers and launched Social Media today, in Donnie’s opinion.
