“When the student is ready – the teacher appears…” - who knows

Coaching is absolutely one of the most important, fundamental concepts that is both can help you reach new heights of success in your business and life, and can help you crack the ‘secret code’ to unbelievable, massive growth and duplication in your team.  Funny enough, it’s probably the most ignored strategy in Network Marketing, both as a distributor trying to find that ‘secret sauce’, and a leader who’s wondering why he’s got a bunch of frustrated downline who don’t know how to build a business.

Absolutely, without question, this is the most important concept that you can ever learn in business:  If you want to be at the TOP of your game, you MUST be willing to be coached, and find the best person possible, who can help you clean up your game and take it to the next level.  I like to use Michael Jordan as an example, because even though he was arguably one of the top basketball players of all time, at the height of his success, when every move he made seemed magical, he was still a team player – and willing and ready to receive guidance and feedback.

Now, keep in mind that Jordan was BETTER at basketball, and had more success in his life than any of his basketball coaches, at any point in their life experienced – but still he was willing to take critical feedback, guidance, and correction at skills that he was arguably the best in the world at performing.

Now why is that?  I’ve heard people say things like ‘only listen to people who are getting better results than you in the area you’re seeking’, but then why did a $100,000,000 per year earner take advice from people that earned dramatically smaller incomes, played basketball less well, and were never as influential as he was?

Because a great coach isn’t there to be better at everything, he is there to always help keep you on track.  A great coach is good at identifying the strength of the players, and at helping people improve skill sets that they don’t even have themselves.  The most important thing that a coach can do, however, is to help you focus and keep on the right track, and hold you accountable to the things that you agree that you’ll do together.

I had a major breakthrough a few weeks back, when I had a guy come on one of my coaching calls who’s been one of the largest distributors in the Amway corporation for the last 20 years.  He shared some concepts that have totally transformed the way that I thought about life and business, and it put into perspective something that was missing in my business, and was one of the most important changes I’ve made to the way I approach building a team – and here’s what it was:

Putting in place a structured accountability and coaching program for anyone in my team who is willing to be accountable and follow instructions.  Now, keep in mind, I couldn’t possibly have the time in a week to coach every person in my organization, and that’s ok – because I don’t need to – because only people that are willing to be accountable will track their results, activity, and follow instructions – which is about 15% of my team, and I have my leaders coach their leaders, and so on.

One of the things that I realized after coaching back to back team members for 10 hours straight, the first day I implemented the program, was that the biggest roadblock that team members have is that they don’t know what to do next.  This is something that shocked me – because I intuitively seem to understand what comes next, and see Network Marketing as a simple, relationship recruiting based business model, and it seems natural what should always come next in building a group.

However, what I found is that most of my team, even after having great training, tools to buy, a great fast-start system, online marketing funnels, a warm market prospecting system, even if everything is in place – most people haven’t had my experience base in network marketing, and they have absolutely, no idea what to do next, AND, I found that by guiding them in one direction, not only were they more productive – but they are happier, work harder, understand better, and prospect more.  Plus, my organizational recruiting is more than a third higher, and I’m only 2 weeks in to the program.

Fascinating looking at it.  What I want to talk about now, though, is how to attract a good coach and keep them in your life.  I have a famous quote up at the top of this article that I’ve heard 1000 times and have no idea where it came from, and it still holds just as true.  If you want the attention of a great coach, be willing and ready to learn, be a sponge, and be willing to take action and be accountable.

Sometimes, as a coach to others, I start giving feedback and advice, only to be interrupted by a student who has absolutely no idea how to do something, giving me their opinions on ‘the way it is’.  If you want to attract and keep a great mentor – be willing to listen and correct your direction, even if you don’t completely agree – because chances are a great mentor can see things in you that you don’t yet see.

For example, I pay a few professional coaches, and one of them made a couple of suggestions to me over the course of the last couple of weeks that were right ‘in my face’ suggestions about my personal life.  Funny enough, though, just one of those suggestions has now made me more money than I’ll pay for 2 months of coaching, just 2 weeks after hearing it.

Had I been an amateur, and had a huge ego, I’d be short about $2,000 short in the last 2 weeks, from no additional effort or energy than I would have expended otherwise.

You and I are simple beings, and we can be compared to a rocket headed to the moon – off course 98% of the time.  Just like NASA gives constant nudging, feedback, and guidance to a rocket, a coach will help you, off track 98% of the time still reach your destination on schedule.  So here are some ideas to help you:

1.  Track everything you actually do – for example, if you’re marketing, you could track how many articles you’re writing – how much you’re spending on PPC, how many leads your generating, your landing page conversions, etc.  If you’re warm market prospecting, you could track how many one on one presentations you’re doing, how many 3 way calls you’re doing, etc.  Always remember – WHATEVER you track you can improve, and whatever you don’t track, you can’t improve.

2.  Have a clear intention with your coaching sessions, of a specific, tangible, measurable goal that you would like to achieve in your life. It’s easier to steer a moving ship – and if you know exactly where you’re headed, your coach will be more able to guide you.

3.  Don’t whine to your mentor – they don’t need to hear your whining to guide you, they need to see what you’re doing, not doing, and the result that you either got or didn’t get, so they can help create specific course corrections in your business.

4.  Be willing to follow through and complete ALL of the assignments that your mentor gives you, no matter what it takes.

If you’re open, ready, and willing, sometimes a great coach that will transform your life is just a phone call away – sometimes you need to pay, and you should be open and willing to doing so.  Here’s my final thought for you, though:

When someone shows up in your life who is willing to take their time, knowledge, energy, and effort and POUR their heart and soul into you – thank your lucky stars, God, or whoever it is for you and be willing to go to the ends of the earth – because NOTHING will help you more in your business life than someone who is willing to take the time, no matter what it takes – to help you reach your goals.  And if you want to transform your results in your business – be willing to coach your team, and take things to a whole new level…

Just thinking out loud   Thoughts?

-David Wood

P.S. Sometimes in Network Marketing, you can get access to the best minds in the entire world, free of charge – but I want you to remember something.  If you have a mentor in Network Marketing who is incredibly gifted at helping you break through to a new level, and they are doing it for free – it is not free.

They are doing it because in helping you reach your dreams and goals, they reach their dreams – so if you are someone who is lucky enough to have an upline mentor who will guide you, step by step, be willing to put yourself out there on a massive scale, earn their trust, and be loyal, because you’ll never find a better coach, ever, than in this industry.  We have the best of the best – and remember - we HAVE a better way.

3. Important Announcement – Attend Our LIVE Streaming Network Marketing Training This Saturday

Five O’Clock AM….

The phone rings, and there’s EXCITEMENT in the receiver…

It’s one of my best friends, I’ll call her ‘Mrs. New Deal‘, and she had just came out of a negative experience in the MLM industry when we had gotten together the night before for a reunion dinner with some old veterans from a company that had just fell apart for both of us.

I had listened to her drown on about how much she’s glad that God ‘delivered‘ her from the MLM industry and how thankful she is that she’s no longer focused on money, and how much better she feels now that’s she’s free to be poor.

A little bit of background here: We had spent nearly 2 years together building a large organization in a company, done weekly meetings and home meetings together, collectively recruited nearly 1000 people, and been through A LOT of fun times and struggles in the MLM industry.

So here I am massively succeeding in my company, earning checks of… (A LOT)… and I’m holding my tongue and listening to a 2 hour drunkalogue about how much the MLM profession sucks.

(isn’t that what we do… Listen?)

Well, I’m fine with people thinking what they want, because at the end of the day I’ve got a better lifestyle than 100% of any of the people I grew up with, I have more time freedom than any professional person I know AND I make more money than I’ve ever made, but nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced at 5 AM the next day…

“David, oh my gosh, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!” says ‘Mrs. New Deal‘ “I’m in this new exciting DEAL, where you earn an extra 2% on the fifth level, and YOU ONLY HAVE TO GET 3 PEOPLE and you’re rich”…

Well, excuse me if I want to puke… but is there any honest network marketing business where ANYONE has legitimately sponsored only 3 people and gotten rich?

No.

She continued… “Not only that… but it’s NOT MLM!  All you have to do is get 3 people, and THEY get 3 people… and THEY get 3 people…and YOU’RE RICH almost overnight!”

So excuse me for wanting to puke… but what kind of business is it when 3 people get 3, who get 3?  Hmmm… I didn’t think it was ‘MLM’ either…

Well, to make a long story short, I didn’t join her deal.

Now, it’s business time… You may be wondering why I didn’t join that deal, and why I won’t join yours, either.  FIVE or more times a day, I get an email that looks something like this:

“David, this is Mr. Big and Famous Hotshot.  I know we’ve never met, but I’m building an organization in a Pre-Launch Super-Deal that’s going to be the next Amway (but better, of course)…  I’ve got a spot reserved for you at the top of the comp plan with GUARANTEED income, and all you have to do is join and bring over your organization.  Not only will you make a fortune, but you can get in at the top… blah blah blah… Click here to signup and buy X product to get rich…”

You know, there’s this funny phenomenon in Network Marketing, where people assume that you’ll for some reason join their program from their spam email, canned scripts, and because the company is “New” and you can “get in at the top“

Here’s the funny thing… You know the hot-shots that we always talk about who are ACTUALLY pulling in six figure monthly checks from a LEGITIMATE MLM company?

Guess what 100% of them all have in common…

(are you ready)

They are absolutely UNMOVABLE in their resolve to prosper in Network Marketing, and they LOVE their company with a passion.  They can’t be bought, sold, moved, and they won’t quit and whore away to your deal because you send them unrequested SPAM.

There was a funny statistic I learned from Mark Yarnell, and I think this is a funny industry.   You see, more than 95% of ACTIVE distributors who STICK with one company for 10 years or more are six figure earners.  That is a HUGE statistic my friends.

Do you realize that a six figure income built right in a legitimate Network Marketing company takes less than 10 hours a week to maintain, and only about 20 hours a week to grow?

That means that the reason why most people who read this blog post are going to fail in Network Marketing isn’t because they don’t have the ability to succeed, because statistics PROVE otherwise, it’s because they’ll QUIT or jump to a new deal before they ever learn to prosper.

Do you know how many industries produce six figure earners from 95% of the people who stick around for 10 years or more?

There’s not a profession in the world that produces as many six figure residual earners in the SHEER amounts that are created in Network Marketing.  It is COMPLETELY unique as an industry.  So stick with your damn company and stop trying to recruit me into stupid deals.

Lol.

Seriously, people.

The TRUTH is that there are A LOT of good companies out there, so make a decision and figure out how to make your team in that company grow like crazy.

The reason that your company isn’t working isn’t because the comp plan is broken, or the tools aren’t good enough, or that it’s not a pre-launch.  The reason is because YOU need to learn some skills and figure it out.

Yes, take some time.  RESEARCH leadership. Connect with a real MENTOR and choose your company wisely.  Meet with some distributors who UNDERSTAND Network Marketing and find something that you BELIEVE in and is TRANSFORMATIONAL.

But for heavens sake, stop giving our industry a bad name by hopping from deal to deal looking for that ‘golden spoon‘.  I found an MLM the other day that sells a magic new age ‘healing rod’ and it pays out 99% of it’s volume.  It’s never been done before, and if you get five people to buy 3 magic crystals month, you permanently lock your spot in the force 5X5 matrix and you get to wear tie dies and sandals for the rest of your life…

Ha ha.

You CREATE your own destiny in Network Marketing, and it’s more who YOU are and your INTEGRITY than it is about the company (although the company DOES matter)…

I know people in Network Marketing that make more than $600,000 per month, and you know how many of them did it by hopping from deal to deal?

None.

Have a VISION.  Be a LEADER.  TAKEOVER your company, and above all, be consistent and be UNMOVABLE in your resolve to take it to the top.

I appreciate all of you, and I want you to prosper.

But it’s time for the TRUTH about this industry to come out.

The TRUTH is that what is going to TRANSFORM your destiny in this industry is YOU.

What are your thoughts? Be sure to share.  Heck, you can even tell us about your new deal that pays an extra 1% on the 15th level, so we can all laugh at you.  Is your deal even better than Amway?  Be sure to share, and let me know if you think I’m spot on.

In Prosperity,
David Wood

1. Exclusive, Private Interview With Cedrick Harris, MLM Lead System Pro’s Top Producer
2. Brian Fanale AND David Wood LIVE
3. Cedrick Harris and David Wood LIVE In LA

Recently, I had the honor of attending an exclusive event where I was able to meet with and interview some of the most influential leaders in online network marketing, including Brian Fanale, Norbert Orlewicz, and Todd Schlomer.  At this exclusive event, I got the chance to pick the brains of these online marketing geniuses and find out how they’ve been able to create some of their massive success.

I had a couple of personal conversations with Brian, and he pointed out some things that they’ve done with MLM Lead System Pro that other online systems have failed to do, and I noticed a couple of things as well about Brian as a network marketing leader.

The first thing that I learned from Brian Fanale is that it’s really important to make sure that your marketing system is more about your leaders than it is about you.  This is a critical element to any network marketing success, but is often ignored online.  Most online leaders are hesitant to give credit to other people in their organizations where credit is due, and as a result their leaders often leave them for greener pastures.  Brian Fanale has done an excellent job making sure that his marketing system is less about him and more about his team members.

The second thing that I picked up from my brief conversation with Brian is how important it is to recruit talented people to help you in your business.  I’m amazed at how many online entrepreneurs try to do everything themselves, to the detriment of their own long term success.  We all need help, and no one can keep doing the work of five people.  Often times, network marketers ignore outsourcing their training and technical aspects of their business and try to ‘do it all’.  Well, in this business you CAN’T do it all, you’ve got to surround yourself with talent if you want to succeed.

The third pointer that I got from watching Brian is how important it is to have recognition programs in place for your leaders.  This can go back to what we were discussing before with just acknowledging that your leaders are making a difference, but even more so real leaders need recognition, it’s a part of who they are and they crave it.  If you fail to give your leaders recognition you’ll be failing to create a sustainable, long term organization that continues to be profitable for the months and years ahead.

The fourth thing that I learned from Brian is how important it is to produce personally.  Brian Fanale isn’t one of those leaders that just expects everyone else to learn how to be a leader in the marketplace without doing it himself, he has produced consistent, massive results personally for a long period of time.

Overall, I have to give Brian Fanale a huge ‘KUDOS’ for doing what he’s done and paving the way on the internet.  We can all learn a lot from the simple success of this internet marketing rockstar.
