How many times have you been sick and no matter what type of medicine you take over the counter, it just doesn't work? So, what's the next best thing to do? Get yourself to a doctor or clinic and have them take a look at you!
Going to a doctor or visiting a specialist, reassures us that if anyone can get us better, they could.
If we were to run our business like we take care of a common cold, perhaps maybe our business would not need a cure. But, let's face it, sometimes no matter what we do, we are desperately seeking a cure. The cure that will correct our major issues encountered in a business. Let's discover what some of the MLM cures can do for your business.
The Multi-Level Marketing Cure to Your Sick Business
Don't you wish you could go to your local business store and right there on the top shelf is, "Marketing Cure - Advanced Formula"? Ok, I know that sounds a little crazy. But, let's face it, suffering small businesses are not willing to resolve problems by themselves. They are looking for someone else to fix their problems, which brings me to the top the seven MLM cures for your sick business...
Cure #1
Get an expert to help (seek advice from someone that has experienced your problem) - Using leverage has been one of the top secrets, millionaires have been using for over 100 years. So, why not do the same. When you're having trouble in one particular area of your business, find an expert that has the experience in getting results. Then, offer to share services with this person or compensate them if they are not interested in sharing services. You'll be amazed by what this approach will do for you.
Cure #2
Analyze your current situation (what's working, what's not) - Do more of what's working and stop what's not working. The best method of knowing what's working and what's not, is to keep track. Keep track of everything you do. Especially when it comes to marketing and advertising your business, especially the quality of the customer service you provide. It's important that you are always in an analyzing state, all successful business people do this.
Cure #3
Educate your expectations (look at your marketing plan and determine if you what you have is achievable) - Are your goals SMART goals? If they aren't, consider either toning down your goals or do what successful business people do, "Seek out an expert in a particular area you are weak at and have them be a part of your team." That's a true win-win situation.
Cure #4
Change your approach (come up with an ingenious way of promoting your product and your business). While you are running your business, you may discover some areas or approaches are not working for you, in that case it's time to change it up. Just because you first started with that method doesn't mean you are bound to that. You must be evolving. In fact, there are many forms of marketing your business to running business. But, what's important is that you find a model that works for you and allows you to be successful.
Cure #5
Advertise the business like you're the CEO of the company (this will help you get out of the frame of mind as treating this as your JOB) - It's your business that needs help, no one else! So, start acting like a CEO and get your business under control. You can do that by following some of these cures we are covering here in the post. But, by no means does it mean to stop there. Always search for ways to improve. Improving and evolving is what entrepreneurs do. While you are improving, start off with thinking with good intentions like, you'll be receiving bundles and bundles of endless business. Now that sounds like a CEO!
Cure #6
Build a sustainable network of business partners (teach your current and future team members how they can plug into a system they can easily duplicate) - Everyday while working and not working, you should be searching for your perfect business partner. When you find that person, you mentor them and guide them through the process of being successful so that they can do the samething one day. This way it will be a win-win, but can potentially be an infinite win. Can you imagine that?
Cure #7
Become a leader (when you rise up as leader, you put yourself in a state of attraction where 'like attracts like') - This one, as you know, is paramont for any business. Having troubles with your business? It's time to step up and be the leader. Being a leader is someone who sets an examples for how the business should be ran and turning current and future business partners into leaders as well.

Great advice! Those will really 'cure' the business. I liked cure number 7. If you ask me, I'd put that as the first (though it would be a bit odd) but then that's what people tend to forget. That they need to take charge. I know of a couple who ventured into a business, put some money and never took charge. They ended up owing more than they put in. I really think being a leader is VERY IMPORTANT. That way, there's also nobody else to blame!
Thanks Marcy. Cure #7 happens to be my favorite as well. Although it's not something that will come along easily, a little persistence and applying the leadership characteristics will allow ANYONE (who wants to) to become "The Leader".
