Your Virtual Upline Podcast

How many of you have watched SOOOO many people come and go from their network marketing business? And like myself, have you started to wonder WHY?

Why do so many people fail in network marketing?

The answer is quite simple -- these people treat network marketing as a HOBBY.

'The Hobbyist' is the overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid network marketer, trying to 'do it all,' but feeling totally confused, and not able to produce any real, consistent results.

The Hobbyist thinks, 'Let me give this a try and see if it works…'

The hobbyist is not willing to COMMIT to the process of building a business and put in the necessary time and effort in the right activity during the early stages.

Here are some of the main characteristics that describe The Hobbyist:

• Struggles with recruiting and building a team
• Fear and overwhelm are their 2 biggest enemies
• They possess a Sales Mindset in their business
• Focus most of their time on social media (think it IS their business)
• Held back by their past, no clear vision for their future
• Constantly dealing with self-doubt and comparitis
• Spends too much time consuming training and not enough time taking action

I bet that many of you can identify with AT LEAST 1 of these things. If so, there's a VERY GOOD chance you're stuck in the Hobbyist Role in your business.

How do you get out of The Hobbyist Role that's been keeping you stuck for so long?

You need to make the shift to being a REAL BUSINES OWNER.

And so I'm going to spend this entire episode talking how you can make that shift and finally start thinking and acting like a Real Business Owner.

And when you're done listening to this episode, take your very step towards becoming a REAL BUSINESS OWNER and register for our FREE 4-part LOVE SERVE GROW challenge, kicking off of September 24!

Do you have major issues managing your time?

You totally get that using your time efficiently and productively is necessary to grow your business, and you want to change, but, every single week, you are crash landing into Mondays.

And here's why – you have a wrong belief about time management.

Struggling with time is NEVER a time issue. It is ALWAYS a priority issue.

Here's the mindset shift that I want you to make when it comes to your schedule - rather than thinking of it as a time management issue, you need to begin thinking of it as a struggle with managing YOURSELF in relation to time.

In this week's Biz Tip Friday, I'll share with you my #1 strategy for increasing your productivity. I'll teach you exactly how you can create a structured plan for your week and how to set your priorities in your calendar.

If you can do this one thing, I promise you will be better at managing your time and feel like you have so much more time to build your business and do the things that you love.

This is the ONE thing that keeps network marketers from experiencing success…even though they're doing ALL the things.

You're doing everything that your upline taught you - doing the reach outs, using the scripts, working hard…but you're STILL NOT seeing any results!

There's one reason and one reason ONLY why this is happening – and it's the #1 thing that holds back so many people in this profession.

You lack BELIEF in yourself.

And when you lack belief – when you keep telling yourself those "red light stories" that you're not good enough, not smart enough, not brave enough …

You stay stuck.

Because here's the truth → negative stories produce negative results 100% of the time.

Now, take a second and think about someone in your company that you aspire to be one day…

I bet you'll notice one thing about them and every other successful person….

They exude CONFIDENCE and BELIEF in everything they do.

Understand that there's no amount of hustle, attraction marketing, or anything else for that matter that's ever going to bring in the results for you.

SUCCESS starts with BELIEF, not the other way around.

And that's exactly the missing ingredient in your business…

Today, I'll share with you how your lack of belief is holding you back in PROSPECTING and TEAM BUILDING, and what shifting your belief can do for your business.

If you have questions, text me at (215) 608-1454, and let me know what do you need help with, what issues are your struggling, and what topics you want me to cover in future episodes.

I've got a tricky question for you…

What do you do when somebody on your team becomes more successful than you?

Or, let's say one of your downlines hits a rank that you've never hit before?

Do you feel threatened? Or do you feel genuinely happy for them?

Unfortunately, I see that most leaders view this as a threat. A downline out-ranking you creates a red light story that you're not good enough as a leader or that you're an impostor.

In this Biz Tip Friday, I'll teach you how to shift your perspective to help you navigate this sensitive issue and lead your team from a space of LOVE.

Episode Quotes

"A good leader allows people to have the space to flourish and grow."

Does FEAR have you absolutely paralyzed in your business? I have the cure…

Look, if you're struggling right now to see the results you want ...

I can almost guarantee it's because you're thinking about your business in the wrong way – without even realizing it.

See, most network marketers are taught to approach network marketing with a sales mindset ...

So their entire focus is on simply getting as many customers and recruits as possible.

Sure, sales and recruitment are important, right? BUT ...

In my 20+ years in network marketing, I've witnessed a lot of success stories from my Legacy Leadership Academy students, and it's because of one thing…

They've shifted their mindset from a sales strategy to my Love, Serve, Grow philosophy to building your network marketing business.

Specifically when it comes to the area of prospecting!

I strongly believe that this is what every network marketer needs in their business.

Here's why…

The people who are ultra-successful in this industry do NOT look at what they do as sales.

Rather than being "sales people" they see themselves as paid PROBLEM SOLVERS. And even more crucially – instead of leading from their own needs ...

They lead with LOVE and SERVICE.

And what if I told you that I can help you and your whole team learn to make that same shift from "sales" to "service" mindset – so YOU can all have the same life-changing results as the ultra-successful?

Today, I am SO excited to announce a FREE 4-part live training that is going to do exactly that!

This incredible free training series is based on our LOVE SERVE GROW teambuilding philosophy, which is the unique mindset-based approach to building your business that we teach inside our certification program, Legacy Leadership Academy.

This is going to take your life and business to a level you never imagined possible!

Your LOVE SERVE GROW Training starts September 24 – and it's completely free, because I want every single person in this profession to experience this life-changing shift.

What is the most powerful tool that you as a leader can use to motivate your team?

RECOGNITION.

And here's why...

Believe it or not, but recognition is actually a stronger motivator than money for many people, especially when they're first starting out.

However, most leaders are only recognizing those people that hit the BIG GOALS, like rank advancements, big bonuses, or earning the big trip.

I'm not saying that you SHOULDN'T recognize leaders for these achievements; however, it's also important that you consider the 99% of your team that are struggling to even take action towards their goals.

You must learn to recognize people for not only their big accomplishments, but also recognize that are putting out the effort and taking action towards their goals.

In the process of creating a culture of recognition, you are also cultivating Success Stories that you can share with your prospects as well!

Tune in as I share with you how to create ideal success stories and how you can cultivate it to motivate your team.

If you're struggling to get results – chances are you have the WRONG idea about confidence…

One of the biggest mistakes (misconception) that people have about confidence is they believe that it's something that you're born with, that it's part of your DNA.

The truth is, it's NOT.

Confidence is nothing more than a belief. It is something that you generate through your thoughts and beliefs.

But, here's the mistake that we as network marketers often make →

We let our self-confidence depend on our past and present results.

As a leader, you must understand that your confidence in your business is not tied to your PAST or CURRENT RESULTS. It's about having that FAITH in times of challenges and adversities in your business.

Confidence is something you can actually create from inside yourself ANY MOMENT YOU CHOOSE.

Therefore, in order to have more confidence in your business you must learn how to master your mind and begin to intentionally change your story (belief).

Today, I'll give the 3 keys to help you become a more confident leader: Authenticity, Action, Adaptability. If you can focus on these three things, I promise you they will have a profound impact on your confidence…and your results!

Are you struggling to create any real momentum or growth on your network marketing team? Can your team members not seem to successfully duplicate the same success that you've experienced?

If this sounds familiar, I can almost guarantee you it's because there's a lack of clarity throughout your team in exactly HOW to deliver the details about your business opportunity.

Here is what's missing: a standardized opportunity presentation

Your team, especially new team members, does not have the confidence to lead with your product because they lack the set of tools (videos, PDF, PPT templates) that will deliver the message to their prospects.

In this week's Biz Tip Friday, I'll teach you how you can implement a standardized opportunity presentation in your business. I'll give you examples and best practices on how to design an effective prospecting system so that your team members have an easy presentation system that will create duplication and momentum in their businesses!

I'm curious – can you relate to this …? →

You have a great month in your business, and you're on top of the world.

Maybe this even happens for a few months in a row!

Then this happens…you have a TERRIBLE month.

No one signs up, your team volume starts to slip backwards, you even lose a qualification or drop back a rank.

As a result, red light stories start flying around in your mind. It causes you to stop showing up in your business, and you begin to feel like you're a failure.

You wake up one morning and admit to yourself that you've dug yourself into a horrendously deep rut.

Here's the reality, BAD months happen to everyone in this profession. In fact, it is just a part of building a successful business.

However, the key determining factor is how you choose to respond to a bad month.

In today's podcast, I want to teach you how to have a bad month and NOT have it destroy your confidence and belief in yourself as a leader.

Listen in right now, and you'll discover the ONE life-changing shift in perspective you need to make, to break the negative cycle of self-worth, and start crushing your big goals effortlessly.

I get this question A LOT: Should I be leading with my product or business opportunity?

In order to do this, I'll first break down two categories of people in your team.

1. BRAND NEW person – the people on your team that are just starting out and have been in the business 30 days or less
2. EVERYONE else - the people on your team that have been team members for MORE than 30 days

To answer the question, I want to say that you can honestly do EITHER and see success in this business.

However, it is easier for a new team member to launch their business by acquiring customers first vs team members. This gets them a few quick successes from the very start! As a team member grows in confidence and skill, then they can lead with the business opportunity.

In this week's Biz Tip Friday, I'll be giving you tips on how to have quick wins for your brand new people, how to lead with your product effectively, and strategies to approach your team in terms of prospecting and training.
