In this episode we will be talking about the role of LinkedIn in your network marketing business. Whether you have never tried using LinkedIn for network marketing or you are looking to increase your LinkedIn prospecting skills, this episode will help guide you to optimize your results.
People are on LinkedIn to network and find business opportunities. If you are looking to reach higher quality recruits, LinkedIn is the perfect place to be prospecting. In order to optimize results, it’s important to be strategic.
One of the biggest mistakes I see with prospecting on LinkedIn is people setting up their profiles in a way that raises resistance with prospects. You need to assume that people already have a negative perception of network marketing, so you need to sell yourself and demonstrate value. People don’t want to join companies, they want to join other people.
LinkedIn has so many incredible features that we can utilize to help us find our target market with just a few clicks. You can do advanced searches for people based on industry, area, company, position, and more. This will help you find connections and common ground with people to start a conversation with them.
In your initial message, don’t “pitch them” or send a link to whatever you have. Start a conversation and reference WHY you connected with them. I cannot stress enough how important is is to lead with the opportunity and NOT the product.
After you start messaging with someone, get them off of LinkedIn and on the phone. The goal when prospecting on any social media platform is to get them off of social media ASAP. It may be uncomfortable for some people, but it is necessary if you want to make real connections.

In this episode I’ll be mixing things up a little bit. I am sharing a recording of a training that I created way back when I first started working on Your Virtual Upline called the Four Mental Enemies of Success.
Understanding the philosophies of this business is critical for your success. Unless you change your mindset, there is no amount of “how to’s” that are going to offer a real solution for you.
Let’s face it: there are SO many obstacles in this business. However, dealing with these obstacles and roadblocks becomes so much easier once you have an awareness of the Four Mental Enemies of Success. Every leader in this industry deals with these enemies every single day, and you’re going to need to learn to include them as an eventual part of your success.
The first enemy is rejection. More people are going to tell you no than yes. We have expectations on what we think people are going to do and say, and that’s when we run into problems.
The second is deception. People are going to lie INCLUDING your friends and family. People will say they’re interested and ready to commit, but not everyone is ready to take the plunge and change their life. What you need to focus on is moving forward.
The third is apathy. This business starts as a numbers game and evolves into a people business where you develop relationships. It’s easy to sit back and come up with excuses for yourself, but you need to delve into what is difficult and push yourself to be the absolute best.
The fourth is attrition. Don’t expect to continuously hit grand slams, but focus on stringing together a bunch of singles.
Once you push through these enemies, your business will see the results. Success will prove to be a matter of just hanging on long after others have let go.

In this episode we’re going to talk about possibilities and how to make sure your life is going in direction that you desire. Entrepreneurial people, especially in the network marketing industry, can frequently lose direction and find themselves feeling helpless and hopeless.
With the recent arrival of Baby Greyson, I’ve been thinking and reflecting a lot more about the miracle of life. Many people spend their entire lives hoping to hit the lottery; what they don’t realize is that they’ve already won the biggest lottery of their life by just being here.
Yet, as wonderful as this is, many of us still struggle. We struggle to find our way and ourselves, and we feel totally stuck. I look at my newborn son in my arms and my greatest wish for him is that he never fall victim to this mentality. That he never trades his hopes and dreams for compromises or settles for what other people tell him he “should” be doing.
You can literally accomplish anything you want in life. If you’re willing to believe it’s possible and work long and hard for it, you can and WILL make it happen.
It’s never too late to start living the life that you deserve. Most people allow their lives to simply happen to them: they float along, wait, and react. That’s no way to live your life. You were born for a purpose; the potential for fulfilling your purpose is already inside you. You just have to take the time to discover your own unique purpose.
I promise you it won’t be easy, but I also promise you that it WILL be worth it.

In this episode we’re going to be talking about leadership; more specifically, accidental and intentional leadership. Whether you have a team of 1 of 1,000 you have a responsibility to lead. One of the biggest problems I see in network marketing is people falling into the role of an accidental leader. If you lack the necessary leadership skills and ability, your team will never continue to grow.
If you want to see your team grow and be successful, you need to start making the shift from being an “Accidental Leader” to practicing “Intentional Leadership”.
Intentional leadership is a very clearly defined, structured process that facilitates your own growth as a leader, as well as help you identify and develop other leaders on your team. Itʼs a hands on process and at times can feel like a lot of work, but itʼs whatʼs necessary for you to develop other strong leaders on your team.
To start providing them clear direction on what they should be doing, and helping them understand what it really means to be a leader. People need clear direction and support to thrive and grow. And if you donʼt provide that for them, theyʼll go find it somewhere else.
There are three main areas of focus for intentional leadership that we are discussing today: how to lead yourself, identifying the right people to work with on your team, and how to develop these people into independent leaders.
Start leading yourself better, find the right people to work with, and be INTENTIONAL about the way you lead them.
