How to Detect a Bad MLM Business

Avoid saying "Wow, if only I had known"

Based on what you have seen (not what I say), see if this rings true. It's worth reading every word!!!

Possible Bad Business Choices:

1. Caution: No credit card acceptance, only some 3rd party electronic "service". Their own bank is not standing behind them to set up a Merchant Account. They're viewed as a high liability risk.

2A. This one is rampant, compensation plans that would confuse Einstein! Watch out for a convoluted labyrinth of hurtles erected so very few can ever maximize the pay out.

It's likely many can't figure how they get paid let alone explain it to someone. It appears like you can earn a lot, yet it's could actually be designed to pay as little as possible.

2B. This one really bugs me. Some plans are designed with "breakage" in mind. That means the pay plan is geared to have a big chunk of the money roll up to the company.

3. Pre-Launch, Start Up? Hot buzz words but 95% of them fail.

4. More Smoke And Mirrors. (also see #2 A & B) It's been said the magician's best deception is one that's in plain sight. Companies usually fully disclose how commissions are calculated. It's in plain sight.

But often you don't really know the significance of what they just told you. They did nothing wrong, you and Einstein just didn't know their math.

For example, the literature says "we pay X percent total to field" let's say it's 70% which “sounds” generous and beats XYZ company. But, it goes on to say things like "on BV or CV" etc. Seems more like pay "ME, ME". BV and CV are how much of the product cost they will “actually” pay commissions on.

In this example you're thinking 70% of that $100 item. However, the BV or CV (Business Volume etc.) is lets say $65. They just took money (they pocketed $35) off the table first. The field (total reps paid) get 70% of what's left and the company keeps “another” 30% of what's on the table too. Surprised?

Fully disclosed, yes. In the example they are paying 70% to the field, that's the number your mind locks in on. But, as you can see it's NOT being paid on the real total of revenue the field is generating!

Self-Made M L M Millionaire Dale Calvert’s New Book

I just purchased a brand new ebook by self-made MLM Millionaire Dale Calvert titled
MLM 2008 and available at:

http://mlmtoday.biz/?e=memgatekeeper@yahoo.com

Many MLM Heavy Hitters consult with Dale on a regular basis and feel that he has
always had an uncanny insight into the Network Marketing Industry. If you want to know
the most effective ways to build within any marketing environment, the experts say Dale
is the guy to ask. His 27 year track record of success in the network marketing industry
speaks for itself.
His new book is full of principals, ideas, and concepts that I believe will help us make
more money and build our organizations quicker and faster.
You can get all the details on this awesome new book at

http://mlmtoday.biz/?e=memgatekeeper@yahoo.com

I recommend that you download it and read it now.

I Honor You

Make "real" money online in 33 days or less...

Yes, you really can make money online!


You see, making money online without a proven plan is a
lot like trying to bake a cake without a recipe...you'll
only end up making lots of mistakes, a big mess and wasting
a bunch of money.


Seems pretty easy, right? But the truth is, I've found
more people confused, perplexed, puzzled and just plain
baffled about Internet marketing. And who wouldn't be?
There are more self-proclaimed gurus and 'wannabe' gurus
out there than you can shake a stick at.


The problem is who can you believe online?


2 People I trust are Yanik Silver and Jim Edwards...


Here are a few quick highlights from Yanik's proven
Internet track record:


* His first site is responsible for bringing in a hefty six-figure
income. Just last month it raked in $21,663.27. (Not bad
considering it takes Yanik a couple hours a week to look after
and he runs the whole thing out of the corner of his living room.)


* A simple 2-week project created a massive profit windfall of
$9,842.00 in just 4 days and the next project he released
netted $15,561.49 in just 5 days.

* He's regularly invited to speak at $1,000.00 to $5,000.00/per
person Internet seminars. (You better believe Yanik wouldn't be
invited back if I didn't deliver real information.)


And his co-author, Jim Edwards is no slacker either...


Jim writes a weekly newspaper column on Internet marketing.
He's published and sold several best selling books online
including, "Selling Your Home Alone", "The TEN Dirty Little
Secrets of Mortgage Financing".


And he's the co-author of the new blockbuster - "How to Write
and Publish your own eBook in as little as 7Days". Plus,
another electronic information product Jim recently co-created
did over $91,460 in sales in less than 5 months!


As you can see, they both "walk our talk" - something that isn't
all that common online.


That's why Jim and Yanik have teamed up to give you a simple
plan that almost anybody can follow to start making
real money online. They're calling it "33 days to Online Profits"
but you'll come to think of it as your "cookbook" to Internet
profits.


You simply follow the step-by-step, day-by-day instructions
for 33 days and we guarantee you'll turbo charge your online
sales.


They've taken all the guesswork out of it and it doesn't matter
what product or service you're selling (as long as people
actually want it).


Which means, 33 days from today your friends won't be laughing
at your 'silly' ideas about making money online


Do yourself a favor and check out the full story at:

Take care,

Hardin Monie






P.S. Here are a few comments from experts who've had a
sneak peek at this ebook:


"Jim Edwards and Yanik Silver hit the Internet nail right
on the head in their brilliant and realistic '33 Days to
Online Profits.' They actually lead you by the hand from
total online innocence to mastery of profits on the Net.
I highly recommend that you follow their roadmap to your
success."
- Jay Conrad Levinson
Author, "Guerrilla Marketing" series of books


* * *


"Wow! Finally, a take-me-by-the-hand-til-I'm-making-money
blueprint for earning big bucks on the Internet!"


"Congratulations Yanik and Jim, SO many would-be entrepreneurs,
and even those already along the way, desperately need not
only what you teach, but how you teach it!"

How Do You Spell Love To A Women?

Can you answer that question?
Do you know how to spell love to a women?

Getting up on Monday morning to go work. Well it's not a major
health problem, but headaches and heart attacks happens on
Monday morning by people who hate going to a J.O.B.
**********************Just Over Broke**********************
Work plays a powerful role in people's lives and exerts an
important influence on their well-being. Since the 1960s, paid
work has occupied an increasing proportion of most people's
lives. Although employment can be an exciting challenge for many
individuals, it can also be a tremendous source of stress.
Consequently, as work makes more and more demands on time and
energy, individuals are increasingly exposed to both the
positive and negative aspects of employment. The relationship
between work and mental and physical health may also contribute
to career adjustment as well as to the productivity.

Once upon a time, you spent $25,000 to $100,000 and went to
college to learn and to be trained on how to be employed. Then
you signed on the dotted line, slung the chain with your ID card
pinched to it around your neck, your new employer trained you,
nurtured you, paid for your car and your babies being born and
they then showed you a ladder leaning up
against the wall and shouted at you, "go climb!"

Circa 1953 to 1977

As long as you didn't drop the ball and make too many mistakes,
you were safe and you could retire in glory. You didn't have to
worry about your career and the notion of having numerous
transitional career changes, back then---would have sounded like
a bad joke.
But again, this was the last century and over twenty-five years
ago. Your father remembers those old days.
Ask Your Parents About This
Back in the day, the company would take care of you, justice
and hard work would prevail and loyalty----going both
ways---were the highest of corporate values.
Think about this. In this day and time you spend $100,000 for
college only to get a job paying $45,000.

*********************First of The Month*********************

How often do you find yourself feeling as though everyday is the
first of the month.
Seem like you can never get ahead. Even your bills got bills.
For some people caller ID is a gift from God. Phone
ring....don't answer, it's a bill collector.

*****************Your Home Away From Home*******************

Ok, you know you got to make more money. More money, less
stress, happier home.

How many hours though? 60-70-80 or more. Are you spending more
time at work than home. Do you know more about your co-worker's spouse
life than your's?
Your choice of work DICTATES your lifestyle:
WHERE you work dictates how long your commute is.
Where you work dictates how much time you give your kids
WHERE you work dictates, are you tolerated or celebrated?
Where you work dictates much of your self-esteem.

How Do you spell love to a women?

TIME

Thats right, Time, you have to spend time with her.

Work smart not hard is the old saying. It's still true. Right
now you trade your time for money. Why not do something one time
and get paid again and again?

Residual income (also called passive, or recurring income) is
income that continues to be generated after the initial effort
has been expended. Compare this to what most people focus on
earning: linear income, which is "one-shot" compensation or
payment in the form of a fee, wage, commission or salary.

Linear income is directly proportional to the number of hours
invested in it (40 hrs. of pay for 40 hrs. of work), but one of
the great advantages of residual income is that once things are
set in motion, you continue making money from your initial
efforts, while gaining time to devote to other things... such as
generating more streams of residual income!

There are a variety of ways residual income can be earned.
Following are some examples.

1) Transfer the rights to a book you wrote, a software program
you created, a gadget you invented, or a song you recorded, to a
company that agrees to pay you a percentage of each copy of your
work sold in the future.

2) Become an actor and draw residual income from each of your
movies, TV shows, or commercials, each time they run.

3) Let an oil company drill a well on your property in exchange
for a percentage of the revenue.

4) Purchase an office building or other real estate that earns
you recurring income through lease or rental payments.

The above ways of earning residual income generally aren't that
easy to implement. Following is a more attainable way for the
average person:

5) Join associate programs.


Call them what you will: referral, reseller, affiliate, bounty
or associate programs, they are very popular on the Internet.
Some of them offer similar opportunities for earning residual
income. Companies arrange such programs to compensate reps,
resellers, dealers, associates, affiliates (or whatever the
designation used) over and over again for promoting their
products and services.

"For as a man thinketh in his heart... so is he..."

The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

As a man thinketh in his heart so is he, may I add, as he continues to think so he remain.

A negative mind will never produce a positive life.

A negative mind will never produce a positive life.

A negative mind will never produce a positive life.

A negative mind will never produce a positive life.

A negative mind will never produce a positive life.

Negative thinking....will always produce a negative, unsuccessful life, as well as network marketing business.

If you have a problem with this, please see The Manufacturer, as He made The Rules.

Not me.

Defects are guaranteed to be fixed -- through His Son... satisfaction guaranteed.

Oh, in case you forgot:

A negative mind will never produce a positive life, nor a positive MLM Business!

MY THEORY FOR SUSTAINED MOMENTUM

In just a moment you are going to be introduced to my
sustained momentum formula and how I use it daily in my
business to get the most out of my efforts.

My theory variables:

Sustained Momentum = K/P+T+A+C(Knowledge+Time+Action+control)
Leverage = K/P+T+C(Knowledge+Time+Control)
Action = A(Action)
Control = C(Control)
Knowledge = K/P(Knowledge/Power)
Leverage = L(Leverage)
Power = P(Power)
Time = T(Time)
Sustained Momentum = L+A(Leverage+Action)

Sustained momentum application:

Many of the ones that were professing to help us in our
businesses have been actually hurting us monumentally. We
have been told that we can make thousands of dollars monthly,
weekly etc. (residually).

That may well be true, but they don't tell you how long it
is going to take and what we MUST do to earn it.

After we peeped under the curtain this is what we found. The
owners of the MLM companies were squeezing us like grapes.

Example: They build an elaborate website and entice us by
giving us that website (replicated) for free. They say,
“It’s FREE to join!” They also entice us with a RESIDUAL
profit plan, usually 2%-50% spread amongst several levels.

Oh, don’t forget that they are sooo benevolent that they are
not going to just sign you up and leave you to making
critical business errors selling their products/services
alone (oh no); so they provide you with training, marketing
tools and pre-written sales letters and leads (at a cost).

Let me backup a minute, as free affiliates your profit when
your prospects buy, is the 2% commission. In order for you
to accumulate the other higher percentages you MUST UPGRADE
your position in the company.

Those upgrades are usually a MONTHLY FEE to qualify you for
the higher commissions. With those upgrades you are also
afforded other benefits according to the company’s pay plan.

In the above example, that is the normal way that affiliate
business is done on the Internet. The truth of the matter
is that when we sign up to be affiliates, we become
SALESMEN (distributors) for the company.

You ARE NOT in business being an affiliate; you are a
DISTRIBUTOR of products/services. You have signed away your
Business Control at that point.

Being a distributor is not a bad thing, but people have been
MISLEAD to believing that they are in business while in fact,
they’re not. You are WORKING the business not OWNING it.
That's the critical distinction.

Think about this, when you send your prospects to the
replicated website and eventually buy, THEY become the
property of the MLM company not you. You should really read
the company’s terms of service (TOS) carefully to
understand the DISTINCTION.

In essence, your customer is added to the company’s lead
list database (AUTO RESPONDER). The company now sends it’s
promotional messages (sequentially sent) for OTHER
products/services THEY sell.

When a sale is made you DO NOT get a commission on those
sales. In fact you are not even notified a sale has been
made for those other products/services. Isn’t that a bit
sneaky? I thought so.

Here’s another one, the company will give you prewritten
sales letters, but ALL of the company’s affiliates are using
them too. How effective can that be?

The company has leads for sale. Here are the numbers; if you
purchase 100 leads 1% will join you. The cost of the best
leads hover around $4-5 (and up) per lead. Even before you
start pocketing your Residual Income, you are going to have
to bare those lead costs (among other things).

Not to mention that you are going to have to contact those
leads and entice them to join you. Unless you have been
living on another planet all your life, people HATE to be
sold; the worst part is that this is exactly what you MUST
do. SELL THEM

Look at this one. What are the other kinds of advertising
you plan to do, online, offline, free/paid or a combination?
Talk to any successful business owner and they will tell you
that they spend on average 70% of their overhead expense for
advertising and marketing.

When I got this KNOWLEDGE it infuriated me to the max. In
order to make money TODAY you MUST sell a RETAIL PRODUCT.
RESIDUAL profits come from BACK-END sales.

Your view of the sales process and your relationship to it
will help you better understand why you will never be self
sufficient in business in the short term. You parked your
self under the WRONG END of the sales process.

In order for you to start profiting RIGHTLY from the full
sales process, you must be in your own business, you must
retail a product to make TODAY money (cash flow), you must
be the owner of the cash register (the sales process),

you must own your own auto responder to manage your list
(customer follow-ups), you must be attractive to your
prospects (marketing), you must invest in your own
personal development (get a coach).

Hope I have shown how we actively seek knowledge, leverage
it to maintain a level of sustained momentum. Knowledge is
the cornerstone and indispensable part in our business,
and the most rewarding bar none.

Leadership From Geese

Lessons We Learn From Geese
Author Unknown

Fact 1: As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.

Lesson:
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.


Fact 2:
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.

Lesson:
If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.


Fact 3:
When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.


Lesson:
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.


Fact 4:
The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.


Lesson:
We need to make sure honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.


Fact 5: When a goose gets sick, wounded, or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.


Lesson:
If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

What you EXPAND attracts.

Most Networkers and people who are selling a work-at-home business who expand very little.

They place ads, hound people’s voice-mail (most aren’t home anyway) and they beg and plead with folks to hop onto one of their companies scripted low-energy no passion conference calls.

Tell me. Is this true or am I exaggerating.

Here is what I did to ATTRACT people to me.

I expanded.
I sliced off pieces of MYSELF
That made me MULTIPLY.

I expanded, my message multiplied and people were attracted to the SIZE of what I was promoting.

That’s right, people differentiate information and opportunities, by measuring it’s merit against SIZE. People are MORE attracted to BIGGER cars, bigger houses, MORE money and bigger (expand) examples of what already exists.

That is WHY people like us with BIG “systems” always make MORE money. Simply because we are BIGGER people.

Only a BIGGER (mind) has the bigger belief where upon they would have the FAITH to [even] build a BIGGER “system.”

Make no mistake here.

Your PROSPECTS are measuring your biz-opp by calculating the SIZE of what you are showing them, versus the size or lack of SIZE the “other” people are showing them.

Example. Here is an example.

If one guy is showing you his opportunity with simply a conference call and a web-site, someone else, is understands how to be more ATTRACTIVE has expanded the same opportunity into

SIZE! SIZE! SIZE

What you EXPAND attracts MORE people.

One, because people measure and sort information by calculating success equal to its SIZE. Secondly because what is EXPANDED naturally (Universal law) attracts more of the same to multiply itself.
That is why MAN expands into a women to attract another person. This is why a tree EXPANDS (trees drops leaves) onto the ground, in order to ATTRACT it’s equal.

What you TEAR apart and PLANT grows another.

If you expand a smile, you multiply another in someone else’s face. If you offer someone a free Ebook or free CD you expand yourself and now you SIT inside of their computer and inside of their heads, as they listen to the cool CD over and over again.

I expanded myself by placing ads. That way Millions of people saw me, went through my automated system, called me and said, “Hey Mr. Monie, can you sponsor me?”

What expands attracts. Period.

This can not be ignored. It’s a fact.

What you give away you always get to keep.

MONEY MATTERS
How easily you give away (expand) money is to the extent of how quickly money will jump back into the palm of your hand.

If money EASILY leaves your hands money will easily hop right back into your hand.

The weak and the poor pay their debts late, they work for ONLY that which can barely pay their bills and yet they wonder why INCREASE and wealth avoid them.

It’s obvious. It’s Universal law.

What leaves your hands slowly can only come back to you even slower.

I extended myself.
I expanded myself

EXTENSIONS of myself on-line with web-sites
EXTENSIONS of myself using e-mail auto-responders.
I EXPANDED myself and multiplied by creating CD programs.

What expands attracts.

Paul said, “like attracts like?”

Isn’t that the same as what expands attracts?

More attracts more. More ads, more extensions of what you already sell will attract more leads and more people and more income. Period.

BIG DEBATE
The 97% of the people who argue against these LAWS work for the 3% who employ these laws to become wealthy rulers.

Question (?) If you could earn $1,000 for EVERY person you signed up into your program, wouldn’t you then invest at least $25 dollars in EVERY GREAT prospect that came into your funnel?

But people don’t do that.

But I would.

I would EXPAND myself by sending that GREAT prospect a book. I would EXTEND my personality by sending them a thank you card in the mail. I would EXTEND and EXPAND what I already have INTO that person.

Sometimes “great” qualified prospects are so qualified and such good candidates that they use DISCIPLINE and do not foolishly toss money into a business overnight.

They are successful BECAUSE they know that a fool and his money often separate.

Mark this down. GREAT PROSPECTS for your business take the longest time to enroll.

$14,000 Hardin Monie Tip:
Great prospects are waiting to see if you, their potential sponsor will follow-up with them AFTER they reject your initial offer.

GREAT prospects are looking to see if you are a PRO or someone new and doing this industry as a money hobby.

Learn (Use!) The Hardin Monie Mind-Set
I always looked to INCLUDE everyone. Not recruit them. I looked to include people into my WORLD.

How’s THAT for BIG thinking. My “own world.”

Therefore I looked to SERVE them.

I looked to serve them EVEN if they rejected me.

Did that make me mega-super-star pinch me this is cool
ATTRACTIVE to prospects. Yup.

You can’t create anything. Only God can.
You can ONLY add energy to what already exists.

I NEVER RECRUITED anyone.

But, 500+ people stepped into my energy.
God makes babies. Not me.
God brings me people. They step into my world.

They then step into my Mind.

YOU can’t make people do anything.
You do not recruit people.

MLM riff-raff try to recruit people.
Not you.

People ask YOU, “hey man, can I join your deal.”

Energy + invitation = they step into your world.

It’s about OBLIGATING energy back to you.

Hard work is for monkeys.
Hard work repulses me.
Hard work SCREWED me.

I worked HARD up until age 35. All that did was make me broke and feel like CRAP because I had to explain to my wife that her “man” was really a BOY and could not pay the bills on time.

Then, after studying the Bible and 1,000+ books on success, I uncovered the OBVIOUS.

That all (not some, but all) SUCCESS books are “code” for what is already inside the book designed by the Lord Himself.

Yes Sir. I learned to literally OBLIGATE success.
You bet I did.
I learned to make MINCE MEAT out of my SUBCONSCIOUS.
I learned to COMMAND my “crew” (subconscious)
I learned to create STRESS upon Universal law.

Hint: When you work from the INSIDE out (versus outside in) you are tapping into an ENERGY that other people find irresistible. This makes people line up, crawl through windows and hunt you down.


Never forget this Amigo. Jot this down.
“what you can not discipline will discipline you.”

Ponder and pull your chin on this.

Few people are working from an oscillation (swirling motion) of more than a put-put slow. When you are cycling energy TNT coming from FORCE and ENERGY people sense it—and they find you charismatic. Intoxicating.

YOU CAN.
YOU WILL.
YOU ARE.

Now use what you already have already.

Walk your talk versus thinking your about your steps.

What EXPANDS attracts. It has to.
It’s Universal law.

Tithing. When you give money to churches and ministries you are EXPANDING what you already have into other people.

That’s working from the INSIDE out.

Every time you give money or donate money INTO other people you are having a spiritual moment—-through faith.

Did you know that every time you do something GOOD for another person you are scheduling someone NICE to place some good back into your life?

Madonna , Elvis Presley,and Oprah
Did you ever notice that the REALLY high tier money earners in your program have magnetic personalities? Did you notice how the leaders in the program you work are all CHARASMATIC people.

Did you notice how their hearts EXPANDED into other people?
That their personalities attracted people.
That who they ARE transcends what they do?

That WHO they are is even more important that what they DO and that prospects can feel their POWER and “sign up” just to be with someone who is POWERFUL and charismatic?

Happens all the time.

Tip. Guys like me become guys like me because guys like me do not confuse what they do with WHO they are. (think about it)

Try it. People who EXPAND their personalities into OTHERS become so darn attractive that they can (yawn) always “sign up” people. Because people STEP INTO their downlines.

It’s more about creating an atmosphere that people want to be included into rather than trying to recruit and convince anyone to join your “convincing” business.

This is about living and working from the INSIDE out.

This is about EXPANDING what you have into other people.

I also use different analogies to teach the same thought.

“Thanks!”

People who live from the OUTSIDE in try to recruit people.

On the other side of the coin, people who live from the INSIDE out build people. That’s because when you build UP people those people will build the business for you.

I took the same opportunity that everyone in my company did.

However, I expanded that VISION onto newsletters, CD programs, web-sites, post-cards, videos, conference calls; etc, etc.

I EXPANDED everything.

To attracts MORE people.

What keeps the world spinning on its axis is FORCE and ENERGY. Without this, there would be no gravitational field to keep us down here on the grass.

That SAME energy is available to you to use to ATTRACT people and opportunities, just like that same energy is used to attract a tree out of an acorn.

It’s not new age.
It’s not rhetoric.

This is how the world works and builds more upon itself.

More multiplies itself.

Those (3) three words is all you need to remember.

More multiplies itself. (see Gen 1:11)

You have the choice to either struggle forever or groove into a more spiritual FLOW which in turn OBLIGATES success.

It sure beats working for a living!

Struggle, “I owe, I owe so off to work I go.”

Your lifetime friend

Getting Mauled in The Industry


Getting Mauled in Our Industry is Something The Naïve
Do Without Even Knowing They’re Getting Hosed!
Not because they are dumb. They just don’t know any better.
Smart, Educated Well Meaning Folks With Families and
Mortgages Don’t Wake Up Everyday and Consciously Say To
Themselves, "Can’t Wait! Today I am Going To Waste My
Life, Get Hosed, Be Made The Fool and Yeah for Me, Here’s
Another Two Years of My Life Going Down The Drain!"

So, you’ve decided that you need some additional income in your life and you’re looking at home businesses. Or maybe you’ve already started one. The crazy thing is you are doing this because YOU NEED MORE MONEY but at every turn someone is telling you to spend money to get going.


Let’s see, you need to sign up, that’s $300, you need a website…$400 bucks, 800 number voicemail…$20 bucks a month, autoresponder…$20 a month, business cards…$40, brochures, mailers, cds…another $100 bucks, separate phone line…$25 a month….leads…let’s not even discuss leads! The list goes on and on.


Are these home business people nuts??? How in the world are you supposed to make any money with all these expenses? Three months in and you’re in worse shape than when you started. So much for the new sports car. What a scam! This stuff only works for THOSE people. There is something wrong with this picture. I’ve seen it time and time again.


Let me share with you what all those big business boys FORGOT to tell you… Your equity is your list and your list is your equity. Let me say that again another way……… It is your network and the networks of those that you know that is the answer for guys like me(and you ladies too) who had NO MONEY…and I mean NO MONEY to spend on fancy web sites and 800 numbers. Working from home is a big dream for many. But fear holds us back. Below I have listed a few reasons why starting a home business is a great idea.


You Can Do What You Love. Most people have something that they really love to do. Getting paid for doing what you love is a dream come true.


You get to be the boss. No more working your fingers to the bone for someone else. You will be the boss and you will reap the rewards.


More Time with Your Family. No more missing out on weekends, family occasions or Holidays. You will be home for every special moment.


No More Wasting Time and Money Commuting. With the high price of fuel and the average 30 mile commute each way just think of the time and money you will save when you work from home!


Here is a Paradigm Shift For You: Asset Building is Far Richer Than Trying to Build [just] a Downline.


MLM is a liability for most people because it COSTS them money to participate.


** When you become a TRUE direct marketing wiz, your goal is to turn everything you touch into an asset.
** We connect people to a retail sale, then to another one and you can earn over and over on the same buyers.
** Mis-marketing is thinking anything short of a system that can induce 10,000 subscribers to join under you.
** In contrast, the "Networker" doesn’t have enough assets bundled together to make any serious income.
** What you sell, whatever you sell, is not your business. That’s what you sell. The business model is bigger.

The Day A Nobody Embrace The Arms Of Success And Didn't Let Her Go Until She Bless Him


Let me first begin this discourse by stating who I am writing to and who I am not. I am not writing this to the rich and famous, but to the poor and unknown. This is not for those living high on the hog but those that are in the muddy grub, eating tad poles and Polly wads. I am not writing to those that have nice fine cars with a GPS system living in 5 bedroom house with a white picket fence. I am writing to those who really don’t have a car and must trust the bus and don’t need a GPS system because the bus run the same schedule to their 2 bedroom apartment. I am not writing to those that have so much money that if they wrote a check the bank would bounce. I am writing to those that are so broke that their bills have bills.

I Am Writing To A Nobody

Actually, I wrote this to myself first because that’s how I once felt, like a nobody. Have you ever felt like a nobody? I mean you know that you are somebody. But due to your environment, events in your life, results and decision you‘ve made you felt like a nobody. I once fell prey to this type of feeling by negotiating an agreement with mediocrity, signing a mental contract with the average, and pledging a heart felt allegiance to the ordinary. I have felt so low that I probably could swing my legs sitting on a newspaper. Have you felt lonely standing in a crowd. I have. I once belong to the NFL- No Friends Left.

Soap Opera

Soap operas have been on television since 1952. Each and every weekday, millions of people from all over the world tune in to their favorite soap to follow the trials and tribulations of their favorite characters. Lives are portrayed with passion, courage, love; stories are told with a flair for the outrageous, or even a hint of danger. The term “soap opera” is deceiving, for it is not about soap, nor is it an opera! It is called this because soap companies were big sponsors of the radio shows back in the 1930s. The opera part comes from the fact that operas tell a story, just as the soaps do. What makes a soap opera unique is that the story never ends. That’s how I felt about my life that wasn’t going anywhere.

In the Days of Our Lives when I was Young and Restless following the wrong Guiding Light in Search for Tomorrow, I realize I was living in Another World. Due to my wrongful Passions I started living on the Edge of Night trying to be like the Bold and Beautiful. And surely As the World Turns I ran out of money, and started having trouble from my wife and All My Children. I eventually compromise my health trying to gain wealth, ending up in General Hospital, finding out I only had One Life To Live, and Ryan didn't have any Hope for me.

That may be a little far fetch but that’s how I felt. A nobody, just a nobody.

Born In The City And Raise In The Country

Your life’s diary start with your childhood. Mine of course wasn’t the best coming from a family that didn‘t have much. Born in the city and raise in the country I had an understanding of both worlds. I understood that in the city people walk on sidewalks, yet I step in mud. I understood that in the city there was running water from a faucet, yet in the country I was pulling it up from a well. I understood that in the city there were cable, yet in the country we only had able- any channel you were able to get.

I have shaken the hands of despair, hug the neck of misfortune, look fear in the eyes, and heard doubt whisper into my ears. I even climb the ladder of success only to get to the top and discover it was leaning against the wrong wall. A nobody, just a nobody.

A Setback Is Only A Setup For A Come Back

There are many people who would have by now giving up on life. Not I, no sir, no way. Just because my past may have been rough does not mean my future will be tough.
Though there were times when my… knees got weak, hands got tired, eyes got dim, priorities got confused, love got cold, and goals got lost yet I knew I had to keep going. It’s call stickablity. Life move so fast that sometimes you feel like you are standing still even though you are running top speed. When others are throwing the towel in and calling it quits, yet not I. Somehow, someway I knew I could turn this nobody into a somebody. Though the hill got steep and the path became rough, load became heavy, and the night got dark, I kept P.U.S.H.I.N.G (praying until something happens).

Life seems to always have setbacks. You know the feeling, soon you pay the last car payment the first maintenance payment starts. Setbacks, we all have them. I on the other hand didn’t just have them , I felt as though I was a setback. Instead of being a blessing I became a burden, a hindrance instead of a help, a despair instead of a delight, a liability instead of an asset, disappointment instead of being dependable, and all out greedy instead of generous.

As a Man Thinketh In His Heart So Is He; As He Continues To Think So He Remaineth.
The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those which are deliberately executed.

I realize that in order for me to be somebody I had to change my thoughts. I had to embrace the thought that I am somebody , others just didn’t know it. It is very difficult to picture what success will look like in your mind in any endeavor before you actually achieve it.

Everybody wants success. Some people aim for it; others just talk about it. We all know what it looks like... when someone else has it. Often times it just seems like something too far out of reach. For many, the benefits of success are illusive. These people struggle, search and try year after year to create a life filled with financial security, nurturing relationships and a sense of purpose and meaning. Others appear to effortlessly achieve greatness, independence and happiness as they travel through the days of their lives.Some say that those who are successful because they have luck on their side. But luck is :L-laboring, U-under, C-correct, K-knowledge. I had to start thinking like a successful person.

The Voice Of Success

While sitting on the hill looking in the valley, in the power of a moment; the voice of success spoke.
The brain that gave thought to the idea of me being here said, ”You are my son , you are somebody. Remember your name and live it with success.”
My giver of life said, “ You are the first born, you have no choice but to be successful.
Then the voice of Les Brown utter the words, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars.” I kept hearing the words of Zig Ziglar say,” You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. “. Then there was Brian Tracy saying, “It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going. “

I must say that the loudest and clearest voice that I heard was from my creator .”For I am mindful of the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. You call upon me and come and pray to me, and I heed you. You seek Me and find Me: Now you seek Me with all your heart and I am at hand for you, says the Lord…”Jeremiah 29:11-14a; Matthew 7:7.

I Was Born In The Fire Therefore I Can’t Live In The Smoke

Success is closer than you think. It's just on the other side... you have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it. Once you have tasted the sweet flavor of success it’s hard to settle anything less. I have been burn by the flames of success and their marks constantly reminds me of who I really am. I will not for a New York second let my mind entertain a negative thought. I am the gatekeeper of my mind and I am very careful what comes and goes. Garbage in - Garbage out.
Though the world has it’s ways of conveying bad thoughts, yet I will deny each one. Tv, radio, books, and/or magazines and I must not leave out people are all possible tools that try to put out the fire and leave you smokeless. If you let them enter your mind, they will take over. That’s bubble gum to the brain. That’s being S.O.S. - Stuck On Stupid. Not me, I am an over achiever, a pioneer doer. When others are walking, I’m running. When others are sitting on their seats of do nothing and leaning back on their elbows of do less, I’m fine tuning what I’ve already done, pondering on what can I do next. People will walk a mile to see a man run with the fire of desire. If God can
…formed the earth
…cupped out the oceans…
…mold the mountains…
…position the stars…
…ignite the sun…
…establish the moon…
then surely a boy from Memphis, Tn. the home of the famous barbeque, a military veteran and believer of the afore mention God can impact his generation to a point that when he’s gone his children’s children will probably drive on streets name after him. If not me, then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where?

Hey friend, I’m from the school that believes if you are going to think, you might as well think BIG. My brain is XXL, I have super sized my train of thought.

I know where I’m going. I am on focus. I know what I want, I’m on target. I know when I’m going to get it, I’m on decision. I know how I’m going to get it, I am on FIRE.

Now the die is cast; I’ve stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of success. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present make sense and my future secure. I am finish with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame vision, mundane talking, chincy giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminent prosperity, position, promotion, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now have a bull dog grip on this thing call success. Others cannot pull or hold me back. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turn back, diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity, I won’t give up , shut up, let up, or burn up till I’ve push, prayed, paid, stored, and stayed up till I've been bless by success.

I am no longer in the valley, I’m just changing mountain tops. I’ve gone from cotton sacks to Cadillac’s. I’ve move from the hood to the hill. I’ve gone from the outhouse to the penthouse. I’ve realize being broke is a state of the wallet, being poor is a state of the mind. Everything I know at the top, I learn at the bottom.

I am a child of the King and his royal blood flows in my vain.

For all my true blue, blood wash, God fearing Christian friends - incase you didn’t know.

What God has for me is for me, because I am all that He said I am. I walk by faith and not by sight, my steps are order by the Lord. I am not leaning on my own understanding, but have in all my ways acknowledge Him. If God be for me tell me who can be against me?
Therefore I have no fear - F..false-E.evidence-A.appearing -R.real. Perfect love cast out fear. I have cast all my care upon Him for He careth for me.
For I know whom I have believe, and persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, and may I add, nor friends, family or foe, shall be able to separate me, Hardin Monie' from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A. S. K.

Somewhere in that great book it says to ask. In case you didn’t know it’s all in the A.S.K.ing
A…ask and it shall be given
How fast you get it out of your mouth determines how fast you will get it in your hands.
S…seek and it shall be open
You have to see it before you can see it
K…knock and it shall be open
The knock of desire will always proceed the knock of determination.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us….thou art the God that do wonders!

Your lifetime friend
Hardin

I am the Hardin of Monie'….

What Your Upline Forgot to Tell You.

I have spent the last 15 years making all of the mistakes that you are making right now. I, like you, saw the vision that my upline was trying to show me, believed everything that he and his upline said. I almost quit my job to do this full time, make millions and never have to work again. I did everything that my upline asked me to do, i.e., made a list, pitched my product to everyone I knew, everyone I ever met, and even went door to door, and then did it again and again.

I saw little bits of success. Small teams of people would sprout up, and I would work with them, train them, make calls with them, do presentations with them and proceed to work them to death the way my uplines were working me. Soon after I had exhausted all of my leads, alienated all my closest friends and family members, I too, like all the people on my team before me, decided that it was not working out... that I must not have what it takes.

I Guess There Must Have Been Something Wrong With Me!!!

So there I was, alone, broke, and worst of all, broken. I thought that there was something wrong with me. My upline had recruited me on the idea that this would be "SOOOO easy", "a piece of cake", and that he would "build my downline" for me. Now, I am not trying to say that my
initial failure was his fault. He taught me some very important things, helped me through my necessary growing and learning phases of the business.
The real problems were much bigger than him. The real problems are the reasons why statistically 99% of everyone who starts an MLM business will fail and quit. Why do you think that there are so many enemies to our business? Why do you think that most people think that MLM businesses are just "pyramid schemes"? The reason is that that is typically how it ends up working. There are a few at the top who know some secret about how this industry really works, and they do their best to teach and train the people that they bring in. But, ultimately, they are the only ones who end up making any of the "Big Money" that we were all lured in to this business to make. The real issue is that he was sombody's"uncle Bob", and he was too far down the upline chain from the people who knew the techniques. He was just doing what his upline had taught him, and he, too, ended up quitting and going back to looking for a "real job".
Don’t Fool Yourself…It Hasn’t Always Been Happy - Go - Lucky

Oh, I remember it so well, seems like yesterday. 15 years in this so call great pie in the sky call MLM. It should be call N.F.L.- No Friends Left. That’s were I was after 15 years of being a MLM junky. How many new deals, let me count the distributor kits. I max out every credit I had and sign every dotted line shove in my face. But where is all the money and the hundreds of reps that my sponsor promise me? Wait, the real question is where is my sponsor(s)? Never go MLM shopping hungry, you will buy every can of lies, bag of rip offs and bottles of liquid scam on the selves of “You Just Been Con” supermarket.
I once join the masses that walk through it’s doors only to walk out with an empty bag and no receipt of what I had done.

My Golden Calf Was Delivered By USPS

“Hey honey it’s the door bell, see who is“, was the words that roll off the tongue of my spouse. Running to the door like a kid who had been lock in his room, it didn’t take long to bring this long awaited miracle box in the house. There I was tearing open this thing like a addict looking for a fix. O boy my 19th distributor kit. I had to place it on the alter and began to bow down to this life saver, praying that it will answer all my financial worries. What was I thinking, I must have been S.O.S. - Stuck On Stupid. I had to wake up and come to my senses.

A Setback Is Only A Setup For A Come Back

There are many people who would have by now giving up on life. Not I, no sir, no way. Just because my past may have been rough does not mean my future will be tough.
Though there were times when my… knees got weak, hands got tired, eyes got dim, priorities got confused, love got cold, and goals got lost yet I knew I had to keep going. It’s call stickablity. Life move so fast that sometimes you feel like you are standing still even though you are running top speed. When others are throwing the towel in and calling it quits, yet not I. Somehow, someway I knew I could turn this nobody into a somebody. Though the hill got steep and the path became rough, load became heavy, and the night got dark, I kept P.U.S.H.I.N.G (praying until something happens).


Life seems to always have setbacks. You know the feeling, soon you pay the last car payment the first maintenance payment starts. Setbacks, we all have them. I on the other hand didn’t just have them , I felt as though I was a setback. Instead of being a blessing I became a burden, a hindrance instead of a help, a despair instead of a delight, a liability instead of an asset, disappointment instead of being dependable, and all out greedy instead of generous.

An Uncommon Mentor

In 2006 I came across a man named Joe Schroeder who taught me via his training courses how to market using his “Quick Link Theory”. Where in the world had this man been, and how come I never met him? He had been where he needed to be, but I was so blinded by looking at those let me lie and take your money again gurus, that I couldn’t see a honesty, tell it like it is friend right in my face. Once I learned his theory I built a tremendous business right out of my home. His system has allowed me to retire my wife 21 years early and given me the choice to either roll out or rollover when the sun comes up.


My goal in life is to have an impact on this generation so when I am gone it will leave an effect on the next generation! I have position my life so I can serve others.

"How may I serve you?" is my psychological trademark.

I have taken this mentality over into the world of Network Marketing. I believe in building people first because people are what builds business.
This business is not about companies or products. It's about people.

It’s about you. If you want to change a persons action change the thoughts on their mind.

Here is a little secret, change comes from the inside out. In order for things to change, you have to change.

"The Quality Of Your Life Will Never Exceed The Quality Of Your Thoughts."

If you are good at building people-I need you. If you are not good at building people-then you need the me.
Our motto is to “Share, Sow & Serve with a Smile.” It is our passion to impart our experience, ideas, tools and resources to improve the chance of ultimate success for everyone we touch.

Hello and welcome to The Mind Of Monie'.

It's here where you can also tap into my mind. See what I am thinking, feeling and sharing. I have three dimensions of thought. I am idealistic (I imagine a better world). I am also realistic (I see things as they are). And I am pragmatic ( I can adopt affective measures for moving toward my ideals).

The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those which are deliberately executed.


As a man thinketh in his heart so is he, may I add, as he continues to think so he remain.
Think About It!
