I got to thinking that the majority of this industry is like one big group that is consistently following and practically repeating the same thing that the same people are already saying within this group. They are just listing to the “Guru” Types and spitting out the exact same words hoping to get their piece of the pie.
So I got to thinking about how I could diversify my skill sets and “branch” out from the click and learn some strategies that are not on the “mainstream” of this tight group of people.
What I found was rather amazing…and the best part…..FREE.
Here is how it all go started.
My girlfriend and I were talking about training courses and how there were so many great one’s already available and new ones popping up everyday. Even though I am a student of some of the greatest minds that are building empires in this industry right now through a list of courses like
Magnetic Sponsoring
Black belt Recruiting
MLM Traffic Formula 2.0
The MLM Mastermind Course
MLM Mastermind System
MLM Lead System Pro
PPC Domination
Myspace Courses
Facebook Courses
Twitter Courses.
(which are great courses)
…and many other courses that I had picked up over the last 16-18 months (No, I don’t just grab every course hoping it is the next big thing. I just want to truly develop myself because I know where this industry is heading)
I really just wanted to jump outside the inner circle and have something to share that has not already been repeated an infinite amount of times by an infinite amount of people who don’t really understand it anyway.
**Solution**
The library. I took a few hours to go down to a local library and As I started searching I was amazed at what I was finding.
*BOOKS* (who would have thought at a library. huh)
Endless books on Prospecting, mindset, building attraction (online and offline), building relationships, building posture, copywriting, sales strategies, personal branding, targeting your market…the list goes on and on.
Some people would say that some of these books are outdated but the underlying concepts are the foundations at which we are marketing right now. The strategies have changed but the concepts are very real.
Just like attraction marketing.. Leaders like Mike Dillard, Jonathan Budd, Ryan Deisse, Norbert Orlewicz and numerous more have brought that to the mlm industry and created a great shift in peoples mindset, but those are all underlying concepts that have been around for hundreds of years.
In a era were every new guru is promoting the next big thousand dollar course that is “the game changer” for your business, the answer is really just a short trip down the road. Now I am not saying that those who are successful right now are not going to give you a clear blueprint of what it takes to accomplish certain tasks but the truth is that they have learned everything they know from implementing something that was taught to them, and adjusting to fit their needs and the needs of their market that they are currently targeting.
So my advice to you: Before you get wrapped up in the hype of every new product that comes into the industry (which I have been accused of doing a time or two) go down to your local library and read every book that you can get your hands on.
The more that you develop your mind, the more you to have to offer you customers or your potential business partners for the rest of time.
