Explode Your Downline – Do You Really Want To Do That?

by Wayne Wu on March 3, 2010

in Mindset & Personal Development

If you look at the physics of an explosion, a lot of heat is generated in a very short period of time, creating a shock wave that’s loud and travels outwards, blowing everything in its path to bits. Whatever is exploded ends up burnt and in thousands of tiny bits and pieces that can NEVER be put back together again.

Explosions cause irreversible damage. That’s a physical law of the universe. It’s also a law of the business world. Countless business have failed because their growth was unsustainable, fueled by greed and ego. And you can’t put it back together after it crashes and burns because your reputation has also “exploded”. You have to start all over again.

It’s unfortunate that many people come into network marketing expecting to get rich quick. This is a wonderful industry of personal development and cultivating leadership. But the way it is often promoted, it attracts desperate people who will inevitably fail. The last thing these people ever need is a business opportunity. [click to continue…]

Heavy Hitters versus Professional Network Marketers

by Wayne Wu on February 6, 2010

in News, Alerts, Warnings & Scams

I used to think being associated with a heavy hitter was a good thing, because I saw them as successful business builders. At least in the pictures they show you, they dress for success, they drive the best cars (usually a Mercedes or a BMW), they live in mega houses with luxury furniture. They walk around with their chest puffed out and they speak with an attitude.

I used to think being associated with heavy hitters was a good thing because I believed that some of the “success” that they displayed would rub off on me. Many other people I’ve met used to think that too. But let me tell you, it’s not a good thing, because a heavy hitter cannot help you become successful.

A heavy hitter does not care about legalities. A heavy hitter does not care about what’s right or wrong. All that a heavy hitter cares about is making money, and they don’t care how they make it. They have big, big egos. They can sell and they can close. But… the majority of people will not be able to do business their way. [click to continue…]

Why Most Network Marketers are Struggling!

by Wayne Wu on January 8, 2010

in Prospecting & Sponsoring

Most network marketers are struggling through absolutely no fault of their own. Many struggle for years without any success and as a result, feel inadequate, depressed and frustrated. They are struggling because they’ve been lied to.

They were told the two fundamental lies that killed any chance of their long term success…

  1. It’s sales business
  2. It’s a numbers game

And it was no fault of the upline that taught them these two lies, because their upline learned this from his or her upline and so forth. When you duplicate these fundamentally flawed philosophies, you are duplicating long term struggle and frustration.

The truth is, network marketing is a business built on strong, meaningful relationships. The more relationships (i.e. Networks) you build, the luckier you’ll get. Marketing is the channel through which build these relationships. There is no relationship building when you think it’s sales business and it’s a numbers game. [click to continue…]
