No offense to those who enjoy recruiting via the old methods like, bugging family and friends, constantly hounding them to join your business. If it has worked for you, Congrats and you won't have to read one more word of this post.
However, if you're like some of us, then you've realized the antiquated techniques just don't work like they use to and it's TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!
For majority of my business, I was running under that model. I was the "I need to get this person signed up or I'll never make it" or "If I can just get one of my relatives to join me, I'll be set." Come on!!! It just wasn't working for me and I wasn't having fun. One good thing about this technique is I was pushing the envelope. I was going to a place I had never gone before and that was, "Family and friends, I desperately need your help." It was a good experience and that's all it was.
So, I began the journey of searching for ways to become a recruiting magnet and that's when I discovered Mike Dillard. Mike showed me that being a leader in this industry is rare and if you want to make it, you'll need to become a master leader.
I can honestly say, thank you Mike. It's helped me open my eyes to a whole new world. Ever since then, I've been working on increasing my value. I've read books upon books, practiced implementing the ones that worked and even created some of my own like my Building Your M.L.M Business System.
But, when it came to recruiting, I only had what my upline provided me, which I'm extremely grateful for. But, I realized I was missing something and I needed more.
Now, over time, I've tested numerous techniques, and some I still use today and for the others that weren't working I just said to hell with them.
That's when I realized I needed to look back to my friend Mike Dillard. At the time, he was developing Black Belt Recruiting with Mark Wieser, the master of MLM recruiting. Shortly after the release of the course, I snagged it up and couldn't believe how POWERFUL this course was. It reminded me that I needed to be the one in charge leading my prospects through the process and I was the one people would want to have as a leader. I was becoming MAGNETIC!!!
This course was certainly not focusing on the antiquated recruiting techniques, it teaches you how to position yourself as the leader. There were some awesome examples of what you are not supposed to do and they were the ones I was doing. Mike Dillard and Mark Wieser knew something. They knew how to handle recruiting the right way so that we can become a recruiting magnet and share that same philosophy with the people we recruited by using the power of leverage.
So, if you've realized that the antiquated recruiting techniques are no longer for you, then you OWE it to yourself to check out Black Belt Recruting. In fact, Mike Dillard and Mark Wieser where so generous to provide us with some killer FREE videos about recruiting, you'll not want to miss.
Do yourself favor, if you haven't already, learn to become a recruiting magnet.
Head on over to Black Belt Recruiting and pick up your FREE videos now by clicking here!
Until next time.

It Takes Two To Tangle
How many times have you heard...
"All you need is two people to join your business..."
But, what does that really mean. If I sign-up two people and they never perform, aren't we back to square one.
Yes, we are! So, what's the whole hoopla about getting two people if they just aren't performers?
I've learned that it should probably be worded something like this instead...
"All you need is the right two people to join your business..."
There is some validity to getting two people, but they have to be the right ones. They have to be go-getters! They have to be visionaries! They have to be optimistic! They have to be ready to embark down the journey of home business ownership!
If you were to look in the mirror can you honestly say that you are all of those characteristics? Or, can you say that you would join yourself in the business if you were someone else?
If you can't answer those questions with a resounding YES, then you're back to square one.
You're starting from scratch, and in that case it's time to work on your self-image, build your team, become a leader, become magnetic, and teach others how to do the same thing. And no, it doesn't matter that your business has gone anywhere. All that matters is that you step up to plate, take a few swings and make it to first base. Then you go for the next base, then the next base, then after a while, that's when you'll be swinging for the fences. (I bet you can tell which sport I like.)
But, the fact of the matter is, if you are intending on becoming someone successful (that homerun hitter) in this industry, then now is the time.
Now imagine, you find two people that are drawn to you and you mentor them, what do you think they will do with their business?
Uhhh! I don't think I need to answer here, but I will for those that aren't catching on. They will be leaders who are performers. Why? Because when you are attracting these people to you, they had liked what they had seen. Whatever it was, your ability to lead, to be confident, to be decisive, or your ability to take control, they could see themselves following you and learning from you.
Again, Why?
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU!
It absolutely, most definitely, takes two to tangle, but with the right two.
Are you attracting the right two?

How To Generate Traffic and Make Your Upline Jealous
Wouldn't you like to know what it would take to generate an endless stream of traffic to your business opportunity site?
What if I told you there was a way?
Would you be interested?
I would hope so, because I know I would be.
And, it all starts with one of the most powerful internet marketing tools. I think you've heard of them before, Google, Google Adwords.
No matter what anyone will tell you, Google Adwords will drive so much traffic to your website, if you know what you're doing. If you want immediate results, then this is the way for you.
Now the other methods work, like SEO, but they take time. They don't happen overnight.
So, if you don't have time and want quick results, Google Adwords is definitely the way to go.
Now, if you're like most entrepreneurs that get involved in Google Adwords without an ounce of know how, they will soon find themselves deep in debt.
There are two major components you need in order to avoid being classified into the failures of Google's Adwords.
1. Learn how to write good, quality ads that give you results. The best book to get you started is Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords (Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords) here at Amazon. It will teach you the dos and the don'ts of Google Adwords. This is critical to your success as the concepts shared in this book will get you the results you will be looking for rather than the old trial error routine.
2. Capitalize on your traffic. Intend to turn your traffic into either customers or business partners. And how you do that is by providing free upfront material for the person to review. Then it's hook, line, and sinker.
If you can follow these two components and by no means are they the only important pieces of information, but they are major pieces to the puzzle when it comes to doing it right, you'll be on the track to success.
You will be so far ahead of everyone else, they won't even see the smoke that follows behind you.
When you're generating traffic to your site and turning those people into customers or business partners, everyone, including your upline, will be wondering what you are doing and how they can get involved.
Now that's being magnetic!!!
If you haven't tried Google Adwords yet, don't until you have followed the two components mentioned in this article.

Is the Social Marketing Arena for You
With all of the social marketing sites out there today, how do you know which one is the best one to use?
Do you just try them all or do you only do one?
Yes and No. But more No than anything. Let me explain.
In your business, you want to be able to create some interest in you and your business. So, in order to do that you have to start building a name for yourself. One of the best ways to do that is using the social marketing arena. But, I do not recommend that you go and create 10 different accounts on various social marketing sites. Can you imagine how much effort it would require to maintain 10 different social marketing profiles? Forget it, it's not worth your time. And time is the most precious element in your business. So, don't go wasting it.
No thank you!
Because you want to provide quality, this is why you should only concentrate on a few. Use social marketing sites like Twitter.com where you can follow others and be followed. For my Twitter account, JeromeRatliff, I follow a lot of people. People I find interesting, want to hear more about them and what they are doing. But, what's more important is that people follow me. Why? Because I want my content to come to me.
There are two areas to my postings. I bring a lot of focus on my normal life (things everybody does everyday) and the things I do to grow my business.
When I do this, people are drawn in like a magnet. Kind of the same for the people that I follow.
When you draw the people in, then you can begin building rapport. Then after you build rapport, you establish a way people can either buy into your service or you and your business. Now, don't be pushy because no one likes a pushy salesperson. Just be yourself and let the power of attraction marketing take over.
So, is the social marketing arena for you? It should be. Start today by visiting me on Twitter, my profile name is JeromeRatliff and I will see you on the inside.
