I’m posting a portion of an email exchange that I had with a
young lady last night. She’s been on my email list for quite
some time. But has yet to stand up and do anything online…

Her email below clearly states WHY.

Underneath her email, I posted my reply as well as a few
additional comments.

Hey Tim,

Well, I have been on your blog and read all of the information
and I must admit I am still really curious and I am fighting the urge.
What does this cash delivery system cost to get in or start and what
do I have to do to maintain. You know from talking to me all this time
that I have a lot on my plate with my girls, work, husband, ageing
parents, etc. Tell me as exactly as you can what I would need to
be doing, and how it all starts. If I can get comfortable and feel like
I can afford the price to start I will probably do it. I cannot believe
that this would be another one of those scams since I have spoken
with you over the phone and you seem like an honest person. Just
let me know.

Thanks a bunch!

Amy

Here’s one of my REPLIES to Amy:

=====================================

Amy:

You said a key phrase… “if I can get comfortable”.

Your words below tell me that you’re uncertain, a little
fearful even. Afraid to step outside of your comfort zone.
Perhaps afraid to spend any money, in the fear that you’ll
lose it.

You’re already on the wrong path before you even start.

You need to forge ahead with positive expectations, not
negative ones. You need to be able to risk a little without
the thought or worry of losing it. And you need to be able
to step outside of your comfort zone to learn a few things.

If you’re unwilling to do any one of those 3 things, you’re
doomed from Day 1.

Think it over. Then let me know.

Tim

=========================

OK…

I think she asked a great question. It’s one that is wandering
around in tens of thousands of peoples minds at this very minute.

Uncertainty, fear, hesitation… all are very powerful motivators that
stop people cold in their tracks. Most of the time, before they even
begin. A person needs to feel comfortable with the entire process,
from start to finish.

Lets dissect the 3 areas that I focused on in my reply:

First… was the positive v/s negative expectations. This is extremely
crucial. If you go into anything with the slightest expectancy that
something bad will happen ( for example… I cannot believe that this
would be another one of those scams ), guess what usually happens?

The very same negative thoughts we were thinking appear. And then
we say to ourselves… “I knew that was going to happen”. Is it a real
SHOCKER when it does?

Second… was the money issue. It goes far beyond investing in
yourself. It’s about being able to let go of what you have despite
the fear/chance that you will lose it.

There are no guarantees in the Financial Bank of Life. You must
be willing to forge ahead regardless of the potential obstacles. One
general rule of thumb that I’ve always applied to my own dealings is
never spend more than you can afford to lose. If you’re gambling with
the rent or mortgage money to join the latest and greatest “You can
make $77,000 in the next 7 days” type of program, too often things
don’t turn out as we would like. You could find yourself in a “pressure
cooker” situation very quickly.

So only play with money that you can afford to lose… if necessary.

Third… was the willingness to learn a few things.

Using autoresponders, blogs, domain names, etc… can be intimidating
for someone who is brand new. It’s like learning Japanese or Russian
for the first time. But the good news is that all of the basic tools for
marketing online are SOOOO user friendly!

Anyone can learn how to apply these tools to make their lives easier.
If you can send and receive email, use Notepad or MicrosoftWorks and
do basic navigation around the Internet, you can make money online.

I’ll leave you with this final thought.

One of my mentors told me this…

“Make deals with people… Not computers”.

Behind those monitors are real people.

You’re a real person. You’re motivated by the same things I am.

Human nature hasn’t changed in centuries, It’s not going to change now.

So start making as many of your prospects feel COMFORATBLE with you.

They’ll reward you for the effort by doing business with YOU.

Until next time, Tim

Walked into Barnes & Noble earlier today…

Guess who I ran into?

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.

Ok…

So it wasn’t in person that I saw them.

( I dream can’t I? )

They were both on the cover of their new book:

Why We Want You To Be Rich.

The book sat right on the Best Seller shelf as I walked in.

I was drawn to its black cover.

If you haven’t seen it, zip over to Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.

See the hardcover version for yourself.

Of course you don’t buy a book solely on its outside cover.

But this one… it was a no brainer for me.

I was headed to the check out line within seconds.

My girlfriend was like.. “Where are you going”?

Alright, so I got a little excited.

You will too when you see it.

If you’re a Trump and Kiyosaki fan, this is a must have.

Until next time, Tim

* WARNING *

These words might sting a bit. If you’re prone to
taking things personally, then this isn’t for you.

Right now, I want to share with you the 5 habits that
cost us as Entreprenuers the most money.

# 1 Habit ) Practicing lousy follow-up:

All too often newbies to MLM ( or any home business for that
matter ) buy 100 or more leads from some INCREDIBLE source
that’s destined to make them thousands of dollars in a few
days time.

But guess what happens? After making the calls and sending the
follow-up emails, the AT&Ter / MLMer chooses to NOT follow-up.
That means they’ve contacted everyone at least once and then
that’s it.

BIG Mistake… HUGE even!

Why?

Because your prospects need to KNOW YOU… then they need to
LIKE YOU… then they need to TRUST YOU.

How does one establish all 3 in one phone call or one email?

Answer?

They don’t!

So… what IS the answer to this problem?

You follow-up…. then you follow-up again…
and then you follow-up again.

Most Networkers I know and work with follow-up indefinitely…
for years even.

Via email autoresponders, voice blasts, postcards, personal phone calls, etc..

It sounds like a lot of work I know but the real truth is is it’s easier to
take a semi-lukewarm prospect who at least knows you and convert
them into a paying customer or distributor over time v/s contacting
new leads over and over again without ever going back for a 2nd or
3rd time.

# 2 Habit ) Hanging out with Losers.

Remember… I warned you! Some of you might be a little sensitive and
think that calling people “losers” is too harsh. Well… splash some cold
water on your face and walk into reality with me… There are “losers”
in every program… People who complain, whine, moan AND quit within
their first week because ( I love this part )… “It doesn’t work”!

In virtually every program, opportunity, group, etc… 5% – 10% of
the people are making 80% or more of the money. If you’re hanging
around the 90%ers – 95%ers, you will get crumbs. Begin to associate
with other winners and leaders. People who have initiative, drive,
determination, ambition, tenacity and an incredible attitude. And
it helps if they already have whatever it is that you want. Be it money,
time, fame or just plain old fashioned FREEDOM!

Let the losers mingle with the other losers. You’re better than that.

# 3 Habit ) Wasting time.

This is a biggie!

We all procrastinate. Myself included. I am not immune to taking
a 2 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon or watching episodes of
MacGyver on DVD ( just got Season 6 yesterday.. Sweet! ) when I
know darn well I should be on the phone or running an ad somewhere.

But your success or lack thereof can be traced directly back to your
relationship with time. There’s no way around this one. You either
make time your slave or you’ll be a slave to time.

# 4 Habit ) Not creating systems

The guys and gals in any program ( that includes yours ) have
systems in place for lead generation and prospecting. They have
methods of attracting good, quality leads from multiple sources into
their marketing funnel on a daily basis.

You do not want to be a seat-of-the-pants type of individual. Creating
a simple series of systems will make your life a lot easier and far more
productive.

# 5 Habit ) Living with Poor Discipline.

This one can be tied into habit #3. Discipline and having respect to
your time go hand in hand. But it’s more than that.. it’s about being
organized, self-sufficient, accountable and pro-active. It’s about doing
the things you know that need to be done without pause and without regard.

One fellow in my group has a difficult time in staying consistent.
( That’s being disciplined in a NEGATIVE way ). He’ll work hard
and then hit the pause button… then he’ll come back… work hard
and then he hits the pause button again.. Back and forth he goes.
Never building any real momemtum because he’s always starting and
stopping.

So there’s being disciplined in a good way and there’s being
disciplined in a bad way. It’s the good way that counts… doing
the little things… the mundane things… each and every day.

Over and over and over again.

That’s how are fortunes are accrued.

* SIDE NOTE *

Now you’re aware. Aware of the habits that could be costing you a lot of money.

Being aware of the things that are potentially holding you back is
invaluable. Use your Awareness Radar to detect the activities,
thoughts and people that are not in alignment with your goals and
dreams. Eliminate them. Shift your focus to the activities, thoughts
and people that are in alignment with your goals and dreams. You’ll
be amazed at how quickly things can change for you.
