(00:02):
All right, get out to yournotebooks and your pen and write this down.
You're going to write down what yourwhy is. Why in the name
of God did you even remotely getinvolved with network marketing to begin with?
If you're an existing MLM person,existing network marketing professional, or if you're
somebody who's like man, my cousin, my best friend, somebody I haven't
(00:23):
talked to in ten years. Iwent to high school with slid in my
DMS and they wanted to recruit me. What is your why? I'm going
to keep this extremely simple. Whatwe do, and remember I'm part of
the problem. I came from theold school network marketing years ago, where
I did like everybody else, whichis all you have to do is get
two people on the phone with me, get two people in your team.
(00:45):
You're going to make a million dollarsin your first six months network marketing.
The key to being a great networkmarketer is influence. Influence, But we
leverage manipulation for some strange fucking reason. When you put integrity and character into
play. Manipulation doesn't even exist inyour world. Influence does. But sadly,
(01:06):
with the network marketing profession, whatwe do is we leverage people's whis
that emotional pain point like all salesdoes. And what we do is we
sit there and just paint the picture. You can retire your husband, you
can make a million dollars and youcan wind up sitting on the beach working
from your laptop. All this shitthat can happen, but it's not realistic
for the common person. So whatwe want to do is because one of
(01:30):
the biggest lies in network marketing isthat anyone can do it. Anybody could
do it, but they just don'tbecause you have to learn and educate yourself,
actually develop new skills like sales,pitching, closing, marketing, on
branding. Oh god, the amountof work that people don't do to be
successful in this business is the fundamentalreason why it has such a high failure
(01:53):
rate. And that failure rates isthe quitting rates. I'm going to get
ahead of myself. We'll talk aboutthat later. You got it right,
or you're existing in right now andyou're like, what's my why? If
you are a current MLM, orsit down, revisit your why because it
needs to be reflective of what's true. Right, I want this car,
(02:14):
I want this mansion, I wantthat you know, dann Well that if
you got that that monetary thing,that house, that car, you'd be
happy for about two weeks and befucking miserable again. What is your why
period for me? For me,I know the uphill battle that this industry
is. I'll be extremely blunt withyou. I want to be the absolute
(02:38):
best representative, representative, the bestambassador of this business. That's my why.
This bit making money is so mucheasier in other companies, other projects,
network marketing. It's simple. Itjust requires a lot of fucking work
that people aren't willing to do.But just because you're willing to do it,
when you wind up bringing other peoplein, it doesn't mean they're going
(03:00):
to do what you did, right. That's the duplication process. So my
why is I want to absolutely leavea fantastic mark on this industry knowing that
my work, my character, myintegrity impacted so many others, and we
could take the select the fucking wordsout of the ANTIMILM community's mouth of it's
a scam. It's all those peopleare just there. They're they're losers,
(03:21):
their quitters, God knows. Ifyou watch their content, you know they're
so full of shit that they're justfucking They're a waste of our time,
but they're essential because without them,they wouldn't have exposed a lot of this
crap we need to fix. Anyways, when you get in your why,
what's your why? Your why hasto be big, but it has to
be also purposeful, that is reflectiveof who you are. There's three areas
(03:44):
that I think that you need tolook down to right. You need to
look at what and I call themthe three c's. It's cash, commerce
and culture. What do you wantout of the network marketing space? When
I first got involved, it waspure cash. I gave a shit about
money and nothing else. I didn'tcare about selling, didn't care about the
products, didn't care about any ofthat stuff. And I assure shit,
(04:04):
didn't care about the product or theculture. I didn't go to the events,
the yearly annual rallies where everybody wasat all the conference. I didn't
go to those because I didn't wantto be a part of that culture.
For a lot of reasons, youknow, I didn't. I didn't associate
it very positive with how we representedthe industry. And here I'm trying to
(04:27):
fight against it and people are doingthe same damn shit making these TikTok reels
and Instagram reels that really misrepresent theshit. So over time there's a big
fluidity in these three. These thingstogether they're synergistic, right, then infinity
symbol they go together. The secondthat my business and my love for network
(04:48):
marketing kind of rekindled was when Iwent to the biggest source of aggravation and
pain for me, which was theculture, and I said, okay,
I have to sit there. Theyall the these three all work together non
stop. I love making money.Well, to love making money, you
absolutely have to love commerce, whichis the high volume of sales of something,
(05:11):
right, And I okay, Ilearned to embrace being a salesman.
Right. So in the first fewyears of my network marketing journey, it
was about money, and I didthe same thing everybody else did, which
was bring people to my upline andhave them talk to her, and she's
gonna do all the closing and thisand that. When I took some time
off for network marketing and got backin and I discovered, shit, I
(05:31):
have to get good at sales forme because of my background, I came
from the retail industry. Then Iwent into bartending, and then I became
a police officer. All three ofthose. If I was not good at
sales, my life was miserable.Clearly, the customer is always right in
retail. If you want a goodday, just make the customer happy.
Learn how to sell. As abartender, if I treated you like crap,
(05:56):
if I didn't properly sell and appeaseto my client, my customer,
my bar gust, I wasn't makingany money. And as a cop,
the easiest thing in the world wasto talk people in handcuffs. When I
learned how to talk people in handcuffsto make them think, the easiest and
best path of least resistance for meis to put my hands behind my back
without any resistance. I'm a greatI'm one of the greatest salesman on the
(06:19):
planets because I understand the value ofconveying information in a positive, influential way.
So I learned to love sales andcommerce and being the highest sellers of
the business. I love that.The culture was the biggest pain point for
me because it had it. ThenI had to admit that although my way
(06:39):
works fantastic, there are many otherways out there there. Surely are you
need to sit there and cherry pickfrom the very best people that you think,
and then you take it and formyour own stuff. You imitate before
you innovate. I did it,everybody does it. You need to do
it. But that's where your skillsets are going to be developed them.
So when it comes down to yourwhy, yeah, maybe you're going to
go, oh, it's you know, I want the house, I want
(07:00):
to retire my husband, I wantthis, I want that. Maybe you
need to take a more a basicstep and say what does the business represent.
The business represents me making money,me developing myself as a salesperson to
maybe I'm not really comfortable with salesjust yet, or maybe it's me part
being part of a community that ourculture is and then whatever you define that
(07:23):
as as a group. So thesethree things all live together synergistically. And
to be honest, when you embracethat and like this is this is my
passion, this is my strength,this is my pain point and weakness.
When I start letting this reflect bysaying Okay, in order to make more
(07:43):
money, I have to embrace theculture and I have to teach people more.
I have to get more involved withpeople. I am a high functioning
introverts. So I have to getmore well, I have to I have
to raise more people up, whichis going to make me a lot more
money. Okay, that's not sobad. Well, sales skills. I
had to learn sales skills and saythat if I could teach sales skills to
other people in the culture and thecommunity and have them not so afraid of
(08:05):
it and not see it as sucha slimy fucking business that it was going
to develop everybody. A rising tidelifts all boats, right, So when
it comes down to it, thefirst thing you need to do, when
it comes down to network marketing,either as a pre existing person in the
industry or somebody who's coming in,sit down and if the fucking person who's
trying to recruit you is all about, oh the money and you're going to
(08:28):
retire and you're going to do this, you're not. You're not if you
want to make the income that willreplace all other incomes that you're pulling in,
right now, give yourself four tofive years. Start right there.
You need to shut those people upwho are in your ear saying, oh
my god, you're going to dothis, blah blah blah, blah.
Treat this like a business just likeany other brick and mortar out there that's
(08:52):
going to fail in the first fiveyears. You want to take that five
year window, and if you fail, it was not because of your lack
of effort, it was whatever itelse is out there. Maybe you just
didn't progress as a salesperson, maybeyou didn't learn your skill sets. Maybe
your company did suck. I don'tknow. I'm not a fan of jumping
into these new network marketing companies andspew up like that, because they're around
(09:13):
for two, three, four orfive years and then they're gone. Personally,
if I was going to go intoa network marketing company, just my
suggestion, I would go to anestablished one. I would go into Amlay,
I would go into Herbal Life,I would go into some other company
that's been around for a long time, because who's ever telling you that shit
You got to get in while it'shot. You're doing nothing but perpetuating a
(09:35):
lie by dumping in people who haveno skill development and no people skills,
no personal development, no sales tactics, no pitching, no closing, no
marketing, nothing, and then you'regoing to be a scumbag because you got
in first, major money and leftif you want that. Plenty of people
on YouTube to teaching that shit.I think it says something for somebody to
can go into an established business justand fucking dominate with something that's already been
(09:58):
open. It's just how it works. Find out what your why is,
Sit down and talk to yourself andsay, all right, the money is
great, but what does the moneyrepresent. You really need to look at
all three and rank. Is thismy number one, that's my number two,
that's my number three? And watchover time. It's how they wind
up interacting with each other and developinga strength and weaknesses that are going to
(10:20):
feed off of one another to getyour business going. That's it. Short
content video on this. If you'rein network marketing, redefine your fucking why
if you're getting into it. Whyare you getting into it. If it's
to make fucking millions and this andthat shit, you're going to fucking fail.
If it's to make money and income. If it's to become skilled in
(10:41):
sales, marketing, pitching, closing, objection handling, presentations, that these
skills can be used in any otheravenue you ever go into. That's great.
If it's to develop or be apart of a culture. And you
mean you need to make sure thatculture is good, right. You need
to watch what they're doing. Youneed to watch whether or not your upline
that brings you in, if theyhave integrity, character all that. I
would vet everyone say I'm interested,but I want to see more about the
(11:05):
group. Anybody who pressures you now, you don't need that fucking shit.
Guys seven oh eight nine eight twozero ninety seven four seven o eight nine

me if you have any questions,I will more than happy uh converse with
you, talk with you, findout what you need, and see if
we can get a plan of actionfor you for your business. But I'm
(11:26):
going to try to recruit you frommine. You know that, all right.
