Is this one of those Pyramid Schemes?

Ever heard that? Or feared hearing it?

Why do people say this, and even more important, why do we fear it?

Run from it? Tolerate it?

Do you know what the best response is to that question? There are two, really.

The first is to simply ASK - what do you mean by a pyramid scheme?

Then shut up. I mean it - close your mouth and wait, as long as it takes, for an answer.

If the response is something negative, here are two responses -

First, you could say - do you really think I would get involved with something like that, and then share it with others?

And, again, just listen.

Or, you can SAY - wow, that is way too smart for me to put something like that together.

And, again, wait and see what comes next.

The most important thing you can do is keep your posture. Stay strong and in control.

Pretty soon you’ll find you never hear that question anymore. I never do. Funny how when you build your belief, it stops showing up!

Failure.

It’s a word, that usually has a thought or two with it.

What comes to mind for you?

That you’ve failed? It’s done? Over? No chance for redemption?

Are there other emotions that come up with that word?

What if we simply reframe the way we see and think about that word.

Common analogy - when a baby learns to walk, or starts to learn, we don’t give up on her when she tries those first steps and falls to her knees. No, we cheer for her, pick her back up and immediately encourage her to try again.

Why is it different in your network marketing business? With a prospect? Someone who says no?

It’s not. You are just choosing to make it mean far more than what it is -

Simply a chance to learn, grow and get better.

You’ve probably heard - Fail your way to success.

You’ve probably heard that from some people who have done just that.

That is why they say it. They know it’s true.

Will you shift your belief about failure to that?

Fears, we all have them.

What if we could make friends with and release our fears, in our network marketing business and in life.

Fear is not something we ever eliminate completely from our lives. We simply learn to expect it.

It’s normal.

Accept it. We can’t change it.

And push through those fears.

To push through fears, we must first realize a few key things. Most fear is not real; at least not at this moment; it has no power over us, unless we choose for it to; and it is possible to work with it in our minds to reduce it dramatically.

This guided visualization will provide a tool for you to do this with any fear you have.

Haters Shamers and Trolls - bullies, in other words. They’ve always been there, we’ve all had them, and Social Media just gave them enough space to hide, and a space to be loud and proud, and a coward.

My mom used to say - be worried when people aren’t talking about you. I try to fall back ion that during those times I am feeling a bit of comparanoia or self doubt about putting myself on Social Media.

Is my hair ok? Is that a new wrinkle? Are those bags under my eyes? Does this shirt make me look washed out?

I also remind myself that if you ran into me in the store, this is how I would look.

You’ll attract your tribe with your vibe, and they do not want you to be perfect. In fact, far from it. They want to be reminded that you are just like them. And, this means they can do it too.

Remember this - the critics are never the ones doing more than you. They are doing less. Far less. They just have a big mouth, and thoughtless fingers!

To establish a better understanding and more professional business approach to network marketing, try being intentional with the language that you use to introduce and share your network marketing products and the business opportunity.

Words and phrases like "join my business" "join my team" How do I "get" people into my business; I'm “Involved in” network marketing; she "does" XYZ company.

Yikes. No wonder people don't really understand the concept of network marketing.

Listen in as I chat with Dr. Marie Benoit on how business people evaluate business options and how some of these phrases might not only confuse people, but might also turn them off.

Is it wrong to put a positive expectation on a prospect?

I’m Jackie Ulmer and today’s Monday Motivation Minute is brought to you by StreetSmartWealth.com

My Street Smart Wealth Academy Client, Kidada, from Nigeria asks -

Is it wrong to put a positive expectations on a prospect? Most times when they say no indirectly by avoiding me that's what causes my disappointments

There is no "right or wrong" - there are only learning opportunities. EVERYTHING we experience is an opportunity for growth and learning.

It can create major frustration to put an expectation on a prospect of them saying YES, to the product or opportunity, or any of "their" actions.

We can "make up stories" about other people - why they say no; they they ignore us, and so on. But, we don't REALLY know why, unless they tell us.

So, no expectations, and no assumptions.

And, no disappointments (for very long) about another's actions or inactions.

Set an expectation on YOU - what YOU will do, consistently.

How YOU will show up. How YOU will grow, learn and improve.

We only control ourselves. No one else. Be the best YOU that you can be, and the rest will fall into place.

Bless and release those who avoid you. It's more about them, than you. And, don't be afraid to say - hey, it's okay of you say no, this is not for me.

Give them permission and honor their decision and space, for now. Over time, you may be amazed at how many people will circle back around and be a YES, when they time is right for them!

We all have 2 things - limitations and possibilities.

It’s a given, no sense trying to change it.

Here is what we can change though, and must if we want to move forward…to succeed….to master our goals.

We have to look deeper into both words and sort them out in our own lives, and within our own skill sets.

I hear things like this all of the time:

I’m stuck.

I don’t understand technology.

It’s like a foreign language.

I don’t know how.

I can’t.

Here’s something to ponder -

Whatever it is that has you feeling stuck - do you know anyone anywhere who may have felt this way and then got unstuck?

Anyone anywhere who didn’t understand technology but then figured it out?

Anyone anywhere who learned a foreign language?

Found the answer to “I don’t know?”

Stopped saying I can’t and figured out how they could?

Think of every baby ever born - including you.

They are born completely helpless with no knowledge or experience at doing anything.

Does it stop them…permanently?

OR do they - figure out how to roll over, sit up, feed themselves, walk, run, skip, ride a bike?

So, what is your problem then?

Are you going to continue to argue for your limitations, or start arguing for your possibilities?

I hope you choose the possibilities. That is so much more rewarding, better and in service to yourself and the world.
