“Your coffee is on me.”

I did not see that coming.

I had stopped at a truck stop in Limon, Colorado with my mom. We were headed home from Denver and still had an hour and a half drive left. We needed a break and I needed caffeine to stay alert.

As I fixed our drinks, an employee was restocking cups. I asked if it had been as busy as it currently was.

She said she didn’t know because she had just started.

“When do you get off,” I asked. She told me midnight.

I asked if she liked to work that late.

“Oh, I don’t mind; it gives me time for my appointments.”

I was curious and asked if she had another job.

“No,” she said, “I am taking some DV classes because I messed up.”

She was very open about it and then her face lit up as she told me that she was registered to begin taking classes because she wanted to pursue a career in criminal justice.

I smiled and congratulated her with a “Good job!”

I could have been talking to myself because in the past I would have been trying to turn the conversation to talking about my business and what a great opportunity it would be for her.

But this time I was focused on her and what she needed; and she needed someone to congratulate and encourage her.

I continued getting our drinks and headed to the counter to pay. There was the same employee who surprised me with a free coffee.

There is such freedom in practicing attraction marketing.

I no longer need my “cold market” which I used to track relentlessly because they were my only hope after my “warm market” turned me down – repeatedly.

But once I knew how to attract prospects online, I could treat the people I met as human beings with their own set of wants and desires . . .

and I could care about them.

I love who Attraction Marketing allows me to be.

Curious how that works?

It is easier than you might think. So, I am pleased to introduce my guest blogger.

Tyson Zahner, introduced me to Attraction Marketing many months ago. And today he is introducing you.

I am excited for you.

How would you like to be more attractive?

Now, by attractive I don’t necessarily mean “good-looking” attractive.

Because let’s face it, there are lots of things that make someone attractive, beyond just their looks.

Instead, I’m talking magnetic quality of attraction that naturally makes folks want to flock to you, desire to be in your presence, and hang on your every word.

This is the kind of attraction great leaders exhibit, the kind of attraction that not only makes you more effective in life but more importantly, makes you significantly more effective in business.

Below you’ll learn five secrets every attractive person instinctively knows (but probably couldn’t articulate).

Ready to dig in?

Alright, here we go!

First up, attractive people are more interested in listening to the other person than they are in hearing themselves speak.

Have you ever dated somebody who talked about themselves the whole time?

“Me, me, me, me…me! But enough about me – what do YOU think of me?”

(I think there’s actually a country song that says something like, “I want to talk about me.”)

We are our absolute, number one favorite topic

And guess what?

Your prospects are the same way.

Thus, if you are more interested in getting to know them than you are in talking about yourself, you will instantly become more attractive.

Unfortunately, especially in business, most people immediately “throw up” all over their prospects about their product, service, or opportunity.

That turns people off!

If you do that, it will instantly make you unattractive.

If you’ve never heard of Jay Abraham, you should definitely study some of his stuff.

He’s a great marketer.

Once, after a marketing event where he was a keynote speaker…

He sat dead tired at the bar

The last thing he wanted to do was to strike up conversations with strangers after a long day.

As he was sitting there, a guy started talking to him.

Jay thought to himself…

“Oh man, I don’t know if I can muster up the energy to carry on a conversation.”

So he just asked the guy a question…

“What do you do for a living?”

And then he just shut up and listened, genuinely interested in what the guy had to say.

He didn’t talk about himself at all.

When the guy finished answering, Jay would just ask another question.

And the guy would go on for another ten minutes.

After 45 minutes, Jay finally said…

“You know, I need to head up to my room and get some sleep, because I have another full day tomorrow.”

The guy said…

“I have met a lot of people in my travels, but you are one of the most interesting people I have ever met.”

Jay Abraham thought…

“What is he talking about? I didn’t say anything about myself at all.”

And then it dawned on him…

“I had this light bulb moment—that being interesting and being attractive is not about trying to prove how interesting you are; it’s about being interested in the other person.”

Next, attractive people are not needy, clingy, or desperate.

We all know about needy, clingy, desperate people—you know, the ones who text you, and three seconds later text you again with…

“Why didn’t you text me back?”

Unfortunately, we see a lot of them in this business.

These people are so addicted to having that one prospect or person say “yes.”

That neediness, clinginess, and desperation make them very unattractive.

Nobody likes those people.

To be more attractive…

You have to learn to “take or leave it” when it comes to asking for the business

That’s not to say that you should act flippant or not care about people.

You should absolutely care about them.

Instead, you need to develop a little aloofness.

You need to come from a posture of “divine indifference.”

“I need people for my business, but I don’t need this particular person for my business.”

When you adopt that kind of an attitude, you won’t come off as needy, clingy, or desperate to your prospects, which makes you more attractive.

There’s a saying that goes something like this:

“He who cares the least holds the most power.”

It’s not about being flippant or uncaring, though.

Rather it’s about being realistic.

“If this person doesn’t join, I know there are lots of other fish in the ocean. I’m not addicted to this one person’s decision. If they say ‘no,’ my world won’t end. My life will go on. I won’t weep and moan and follow up with them forever. I refuse to position myself as needy and clingy.”

Next up, and importantly, attractive people don’t operate with a hidden agenda.

We probably all know somebody in our lives with a hidden agenda.

Every time they do something nice for you, they expect reciprocation.

They’re not doing the nice thing just because it’s nice.

They’re doing it because they want – and expect – something in return.

They might give you a gift, but they’re hoping you’ll post pictures and thank them on social media and say…

“Oh, you’re so wonderful. Thank you for this awesome present.”

…giving them public recognition so they look good.

Hidden agendas make people highly unattractive

When you just do something nice for someone else, without expecting something nice in return, that instantly makes you more attractive.

Doing something nice can be as simple as sharing valuable content on the Internet, or helping someone solve a problem.

Unfortunately, in the home business industry, we see this all the time.

Some people will contact “long lost” prospects on social media and say…

“Hey, what are you doing, John? I haven’t seen you since high school. How’s it going?”

The ask questions that make it seem like they really, genuinely want to connect.

Then just a few seconds into the conversation, they abruptly switch to…

“Oh hey, by the way, I’ve got this deal you should look at.”

It’s an act. A false front.

It smells like a hidden agenda.

The person they’re talking to knows it.

“He wasn’t interested in talking to me at all. He just had an obvious hidden agenda. He just wanted to sell me his thing.”

Go into any relationship genuinely wanting to help the other person solve a problem.

That will instantly make you more attractive, and make people want to help you in return.

Next, attractive people are confident.

…and confident people are attractive.

It’s interesting that two people, especially in home business, can follow exactly the same script (and get different results).

This is why scripts are in large part nonsense – even though they give you a good framework to have a conversation.

Even so, I’ve heard some top earners say…

“Here’s my script, it’s exactly what I say.”

All the fanboys and girls react by saying…

“Oh God, I got to write down exactly what he said.”

They try to use the exact same script, and it doesn’t work

Why not?

One reason might be, just as Eric Worre says, that…

“Your success in this business has to do with WHO you were before you joined this business.”

If you had great relationships with people, who perceive you as a successful person, and you’re talking to people about creating financial success, then that will have more bearing on whether you are successfully using a script.

But another reason is confidence.

Two people might say exactly the same thing, but because one person says it with no confidence it won’t work.

The successful person comes from a “take it or leave it” attitude.

“I understand that you need what I’ve got more than I need you to join me or buy from me.”

That person has confidence in their offer and their ability to help other people so the script will work much better.

No matter what “script” they use, they’ll still perform better, and therefore they’re more attractive.

Some people say to me…

“Well, Tyson, that’s real easy for you to say. You’re a top earner. Of course it’s easy for you to be confident.”

So how can you have confidence when you’re brand new, or haven’t produced many results yet?

If you haven’t read Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, by T. Harv Eker, I strongly recommend it.

Eker talks about the difference—a paradigm shift from…

“Have, do, be.”

to

“Be, do, have.”

What most people think is this:

“When I HAVE the things that successful and confident people have, then I can DO the things that successful people do, and then I’ll BE confident and successful.”

T. Harv Ecker says they’re approaching it the wrong way.

Successful people understand that it’s “be, do, have.”

They say…

“I’m going to BE confident; I’m going to go out there and be the way that a successful person would be. I’m going to think the way a successful person would think. That will then cause me to DO the things that confident people do. And when I start doing those things, I’ll HAVE the results successful and confident people have.”

So look at your own thinking.

If you’re coming from “have, do, be,” you need to flip the script!

Come from “be, do, have” instead.

Go out and be confident, and results will come to you.

The more you…

• Practice, the more confident you will become.
• Get results, the more confident you will become.
• Help people, the more confident you will become.
• Invest in your knowledge, skills, and education, the more confident you will become.

Here’s a personal example:

When I first started doing video, people said to me, “Tyson, you’re so natural on video.”

Believe me, I wasn’t natural—at all.

I had a script taped to the bottom of my phone or camera, and I’d kind of glance up and down it seemed like 50,000 times during a single video.

I didn’t look very confident. I didn’t feel very confident.

A lot of my lack of confidence was because I didn’t have as much knowledge and experience as I have today.

Once you just get out there and fall down a few times, you’re going to get better.

The more you invest in your knowledge and become one of the most well educated in your field, the more confident you’ll become.

Because you’ll realize…

“Man, I know more about X, Y, Z topic than almost anybody else!”

That kind of confidence will instantly make you more attractive.

Finally, attractive people have highly-developed skills.

Let me go back to the dating world for an example.

I’m not exactly the best-looking guy in the world, but I have a hot wife.

She’s damn good-looking!

We started dating a long time ago, back when I was even funkier looking.

I had a mullet and a mustache.

In my defense, that was back in the ’90s, when mullets were a thing.

We’re still married almost 20 years later

She found me attractive because of some of my skills.

I was a musician. And I made her laugh.

Can you think of a musician who wouldn’t seem as attractive if you didn’t see him playing on stage and think…

“Man, that guy’s got confidence, he’s got skills, he’s got some ability, and he’s talented.”

That skill and confidence makes those musicians a lot more attractive than they might otherwise seem.

You look at how physically weird looking some of them are, and you might wonder…

“Holy crap, how in the world is he getting those girls throwing themselves at him?”

Well, looks aren’t everything.

Even in our business.

When you have developed a skillset and can confidently say…

“Look, I can help you succeed in your business because I know how to X, Y, and Z.”

You instantly become more attractive!

You are now more desirable to join than everybody else in your company who just says…

“I’ve got a great comp plan, a great product, and a ground floor opportunity.”

When you tell prospects…

“I’ve built a system to help you succeed.”

Or…

“I’m going to give you personal coaching based on my knowledge of recruiting, closing, building systems for duplication, or whatever.”

…You instantly become more attractive.

Just like that!

Okay, so here’s a quick recap of the five secrets all attractive people know…

1. Be more interested in the other person than you are in yourself
2. Don’t be clingy, needy, or desperate for the sale
3. Don’t operate from a hidden agenda—just help people without expecting anything in return.
4. Be confident and remember: “be, do, have,” …not “have, do, be.”
5. Develop your skills.

I hope you’ll put these tips to work today.

So if you haven’t been investing in your education and developing your skills…

Now’s the time to start!

Knowledge and skills will…

• Help you listen to others to discover how you can help them
• Enable you to realize there are plenty of people who are already interested in what you have to offer
• Give you the confidence to deal with all kinds of prospects – even the ones who say “no”
• Make you instantly more attractive to your prospects

The best way to work on those skills?

Allow me to suggest you take advantage of Elite Marketing Pro’s 10-Day Attraction Marketing Bootcamp.

You’ll discover proven ways to use the Internet to generate leads, separate the “hot” prospects from the “suspects,” and get people who already want what you have to call YOU about your business.

This is the same system Ferny Ceballos, Chief Marketing Office EMP, used to grow a 6-figure network marketing business before he was 28 years old, and still uses to this day to passively generate 300–500 leads per day, 30–50 customers per day, and onboard 70–100 new serious business builders each month.

So if you’re ready to get started…

Sincerely,

Super Affiliate & #4 All-Time Income Earner

I have noticed how some people move up in a network marketing company faster than others.

It’s the same in the affiliate company that I partner with for the training and coaching and mentorship that I get to grow my network marketing business.

There are people who have been involved for less time than I have and yet they are doing way better than I am.

And I am okay with that. I know that people are different and especially in this area of endeavor there are so many different ways of approaching what we do.

Thankfully I didn’t give up in spite of this disparity in success. Because now I think I know at least part of the reason.

Of course, I had to get through the tech stuff that baffled me.

But I had something else I simply had to do before I could do anything else.

I had to get a new mindset.

My mindset was not going to get me anywhere, let alone where I wanted to be.

Fortunately, God brought a group of people into my life who are caring – they believed in me before I did – and demanding – they insisted that I go for all that I am capable of. They would not settle for less and they would not let me settle for less.

Today I know that there are four crucial mindsets vital for success.

But before I give them to you I am going to get really transparent.

I want to demonstrate how far my mindset has come with the story in the following video.

I do this knowing that some who watch this will roll their eyes and even quit watching. I am not doing this video for them. I am doing it for the one who knows exactly what I am talking about.

And in case you want to skip the video here is a quick version (minus the bird mess in my hair, if you want to hear that you have to watch the video).

Several years ago I was having lunch with a friend. It was a beautiful spring day. The birds were singing and my friend and I were enjoying a great conversation when out of the blue she asked me, “Connie, do you like yourself?”

The question was unusual for sure but it crushed me. I had no answer. It ruined what had been a beautiful day.

And it revealed something incredible. I didn’t like myself.

There was no reason for that.

I had experienced success in many ways over my lifetime.

I was currently the executive director of a nonprofit ministry. I was highly regarded in the community.

I should have been able to say, “yes, I like myself.” But I couldn’t.

You still here with me? Thank you!

You are either a great team leader with compassion and understanding.

Or someone who is ready to hear how to transform their life and business.

Maybe you are both!

Back to the question, Connie do you like yourself.

Over the following years, I would wonder at how that question crushed me.

I continued directing the nonprofit ministry.

Then the day came that I realized that my mom needed more time from me and I decided that it was time for me to leave the ministry.

The very same week my daughter called and said, “Mom, there is a video you should watch.”

I watched it and you guessed it. All of a sudden, I was a network marketer.

Can you imagine?

I couldn’t answer a simple question, Connie, do you like yourself, and now I was a network marketer where poise and confidence are critical.

Amazingly, I was a network marketer . . . And it was the best place for me to build poise and confidence.

I started networking with no useful mindset.

Today, I can answer my friend’s question, Connie do you like yourself?

Yes, I like myself. I love what I am doing and I love who I have become.

It is a great thing to be Connie Suarez. And so . . .

Here is my list of the Four Crucial Mindsets Vital for Success.

Mind Set #1 – I Am Awesome!

I am the only person with the unique experiences, knowledge, and understanding that I possess in the World!

There is no one else like me!

I am exactly what my team need.

I am exactly what my family and friends need although my business may not be.

My mistakes and weaknesses are part of the package. My team needs to see me exactly as I am – warts and all.

There is such freedom in those statements don’t you think. It gives us permission to publicly fail. That is vital since we will fail. It is even more vital for our team to see us fail because they will also experience failure.

What is important is that they see us keep going; as they see us learn from our mistakes.

You need to believe that you are unique and awesome so you can help them believe they are awesome and unique.

It is by far the most important mindset.

How do you achieve this mindset?

Simple. Live your life. Grow your business. And . . .

Find a mentor or coach who you trust and who understands the importance of mindset.

My first mentors were in the network marketing company I joined. One was my sponsor – my wise daughter. She taught (is teaching) me much. The other was her sponsor. She is on a similar journey.

They prepared me for the next phase of my journey. They were perhaps too close to me to take me further. But without the foundation that they laid I would never have been able to embrace the challenge of learning to “like” me.

The mindset of believing in me was tested when I was encouraged to brand Connie Suarez.

To set up a “fan” page.

To ask people to “like” me.

I am chuckling as I write this because it was a HUGE obstacle to growing my mindset.

Imagine, just a few years before I couldn’t say that liked myself and now I needed to ask people to like me or at least a page called Connie Suarez!

And now . . . well, I know how to attract the people who want to “like” me and want to have what I offer. And I am having fun doing it.

My mindset makes all the difference.

The next crucial mindset is . . .

Mindset #2 – I Will Never Quit No Matter What Happens No Matter How Long It Takes

Don’t you dare quit, says one MLM leader.

I love her spirit but she doesn’t go far enough. Here is why I say that.

I didn’t quit for 5 years but I didn’t have the mindset of doing whatever it took.

Part of that was because the strategy I was given was not what I wanted to do or be seen doing.

I did not quit for 5 years and was pulling up my resolve to call my database one more time.

But then my circumstances changed and I needed to find another way to prospect and recruit. To my delight, the internet introduced me to a team of coaches and mentors who worked on my mindset and gave me my strategy.

They also taught me to celebrate my victories. To honor my victories. To recognize my victories.

One of those victories is that I didn’t quit for five years even though I hated what I was doing and got few results. I did not quit. And I will celebrate that.

Today, I will not quit, ever. And, just as importantly, I will do whatever it takes for however long it takes.

But what enables me to keep going is mindset #3, which is . . .

Mindset #3 – I Have a Strategy for Success

“If you could have clarity about how to succeed or if you could have certainty that you would succeed, which would you choose?”

That question was posed to me and fifty other fortunate attendees at an elite training back in January.

I knew the right answer must be clarity. But why wouldn’t it be certainty?

Because certainty is a mirage.

I want certainty. I am drawn to offers of certainty.

But deep down I know that the claim of certainty is promising more than is humanly possible.

Yesterday, a Facebook sponsored post caught my eye. It claimed to offer a way to make money that was “fast and passive.”

Of course, it caught my eye. That is what the ad copy intended. But is fast and passive possible?

It turns out he was offering a book and probably training to provide a service for businesses that would give monthly income.

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. But my thought always is why are you earning income doing something different from what you are selling me?

The truth is there is no such thing as a sure thing. And if that is true those who promise certainty are offering a lie. That is pretty blunt but it’s true, wouldn’t you agree?

So I much prefer, however reluctantly, to have clarity on how to succeed rather than certainty that I will succeed.

And that is what I have now.

There are no guarantees.

There are no magic secrets.

But I have clarity and with clarity, I have a moderation of certainty.

And that’s enough for me. I know this strategy has worked for others with great success. I know this strategy is working for me.

The clarity of knowing what my strategy will do for me has made it possible to engage with folks online and offline with no pressure for them to be my next “business partner rock star.”

I am free to help them decide if my strategy is right for them. Because . . .

Mindset #4 – My Strategy May Work for You or It May Not and I’m Okay With That

That is true. It sounds so mean when I read the words.

But it isn’t mean. It is freeing to me and my prospects.

I am free to not be discouraged if they say no.

They are free to say no without guilt.

And it is realistic. Not everyone wants to be a network marketer.

And if they did network marketing companies wouldn’t need to pay for our services.

It’s true. When someone says no to me I often say, “that’s okay, it just makes me more valuable to my company.”

This mindset makes me a better recruiter.

When I really believe that my business isn’t right for everyone, I engage with prospects in a totally different way. I don’t feel any pressure to figure out how to convince them that they really do want to be an entrepreneur. They don’t feel any pressure to say yes.

I am ready to consider what is best for my prospect. In my experience that sometimes means a not now.

My soon to be best team member had watched the video and sat through a three-way call and one morning she called me and said she was ready to sign up.

When I got to her house, she greeted me and regretfully said her husband wasn’t ready for her to join. I was bitterly disappointed but I assured her I supported her decision to not go ahead unless her husband was on board.

Several months went by and I invited them to a home meeting (I was still doing that sort of thing then). She and her husband came. During the meeting, she texted me that she wanted to sign up and would I come to her house after the meeting.

I texted back wondering what her husband thought. I never heard back from her so with much uncertainty I went to her house.

She welcomed me in and said it was time and her husband was on board. And he was on board in a big way. He helped her sign up many people she didn’t even know.

What if I had pressured her to sign back in the beginning?

Whenever I am tempted to pressure someone I remember my number one distributor.

Today, I know that for everyone who says no or not now there are hundreds more waiting for me to find them on the internet.

There is no pressure to pressure others.

So, let me close with the same invitation I gave in the video.

I invite you to join me in my network marketing business and I will share with you how to attract 5-15 new prospects online every day. You could attract more but that is what I can comfortably handle with follow up.

Bear in mind that it is still a numbers game. Many of those who I attract still say no or not yet. But they are people who like network marketing. They aren’t uncomfortable with what I am offering.

I am no longer bugging family and friends.

I tell them how my business is going much like they tell me how their job is going.

And every once in a while one of them asks about my products or business. How cool is that?

Or, you can join me in my affiliate company that provides the same training that has grown my mindset and provides me with side income. You will rub virtual shoulders with network and affiliate marketers who use the internet to find the perfect prospects for their business. You will learn a skill set that will enable you to choose exactly how you want to find your prospects. With the internet, there are soooo many ways to choose from!

You can message me – just go to my Facebook page and click on the Message Me button.

Or you can start by getting a free 10 Day Attraction Marketing Boot Camp featuring one of my coaches and mentors, Ferny Ceballos. He teaches the approach I am using so it’s a great place to start.

And I do not miss them!

All the people I invited who never came.

All those awkward silences when people who loved me didn’t want to tell me no but REALLY didn’t want to say yes.

So, when the Internet introduced me to Ferny Ceballos, it was the beginning of a whole new era in my business.

Have you met Ferny Ceballos yet?

I am so excited to introduce you to my mentor, coach, and friend, Ferny Ceballos who loves to challenge the status quo when it isn’t working for us.

And boy does he with this article – Why Home & Hotel Meetings Are Obsolete in Today’s Network Marketing World!

To put it bluntly…

It doesn’t matter if people are still successfully building their network marketing businesses using tired, old strategies like home parties and hotel meetings.

That simply isn’t a valid objection to online recruiting & building methods.

I’ll explain why in a moment…

And look, I’m not here to knock these old strategies or be unnecessarily critical; I’m just making a rational argument for moving into the future (…and by future, I honestly mean the PRESENT).

Today, I’m going to share some private conversations I’ve had with network marketing leaders (for & against going online) in the profession to make some important points.

But first, let’s back up a bit because a couple years ago…

I almost chose to completely leave the network marketing profession

…and I’m also going to tell you what prompted me to continue down this path.

A clue: it wasn’t for the money!

Here’s the thing…what we do at Elite Marketing Pro works.

In fact, it works for ANY business, though we design what we teach especially to help network marketers move into the 21st century and create more time-freedom and leverage (…on top of the benefits already provided by success in network marketing).

Anyway, like I mentioned, it wasn’t too long ago that I almost stopped serving the network marketing space.

Here’s my story…

I retired from traditional network marketing in 2012

…for the exact same reasons MANY other network marketing trainers did.

I didn’t make any big announcement or announce my retirement on a blog. I just stopped building my network marketing business and quietly stepped away to focus on building my training business online.

But, at that time, I also had a tough decision to make…

Should I continue helping network marketers discover the skills of online marketing and the skills of attraction marketing?

…the same way my mentors helped me?

OR should I go into other markets, which are more progressive, innovative and welcoming towards the latest online business-building methods?

My business partner was not too enthused about continuing in the network marketing space, so it strained our partnership.

Eventually, we had to part ways, because we had different visions for our business.

He didn’t want to deal with the constant negativity and small mindedness from the ‘old school’ crowd in network marketing.

And I can’t say I blamed him. To this day, we get a constant barrage of bad mouthing and even what I would legally classify as defamation from old-school leaders in network marketing to their teams, leaders, and colleagues.

They don’t like the fact that we’re still teaching attraction marketing to distributors in this profession

That’s been going on since the very beginning and I could tell you some incredible stories of underhanded things some old school leaders, (people you think have a level head), have said to my colleagues and mentors.

The irony is, a lot of these top leaders, and trainers who were critical and very public about their anti-attraction marketing stance, today use online marketing strategies to build their respective businesses – coaching, training, tools, systems and network marketing incomes.

Go figure.

So, in my opinion…

There was a level of blatant hypocrisy among top leaders then and today!

The bottom line is—it would have been easy for me to walk away from network marketing altogether.

It’s honestly the only industry/profession that pushes back against innovation and I say that with all due respect to everybody who’s in network marketing.

I have a lot of dear friends who are top earners and have created enormous success in the network marketing space – online & offline.

But it’s easy to walk away and say…

“I don’t need to deal with this BS. There’s plenty of other professions, entrepreneurs or businesses that I can build that don’t push back against innovation. In fact, they encourage it and they thrive on it.”

Because honestly…

The world is your oyster with online marketing skills!

Making money online, as an online marketer, is fun and, quite frankly, easy.

Once you learn the skills, you can work & build businesses in almost any arena and it can be more interesting getting into something new.

But I chose to stay and serve the network marketing space because I honestly don’t feel like our work with ‘attraction marketers’ is done.

I’m here to save people.

Just like my mentors, Mike Dillard and Tim Erway, saved me from the misery of building the old-school way, with an old-school company back in 2006.

They brought me into this new way of building and it gave me absolute freedom by using the skillsets that I know now.

That’s why I chose to stay.

It’s not for the money, trust me.

Out of the 1000+ new members we attract per month, we don’t earn a single dollar in profit from 95% of our clients. (If you’re a customer, EMP Insider, or VIP member—you’re essentially being served by the non-profit wing of our business!)

In fact, we recently acquired a company in the e-commerce space with a similar business model, yet the profit margins are MUCH BIGGER and we don’t have to deal with any of the backlash from leaders in that market.

But the reason I make Elite Marketing Pro my number one priority is because this is where my heart is and…

Our work is not done!

Case in point: I had a conversation with my friend, Steve, recently.

He mentioned that for a period of time after my mentor, Mike Dillard, decided to step away from the network marketing space, there was this “philosophical void” that existed in network marketing and the profession was moving backwards.

Mike, if you’re not familiar, was the guy who started this revolution of “attraction marketing”, and he stepped away for all the reasons I just stated—the negativity and the vitriol coming from the old-school camp.

Basically, he chose to step away, because he saw bigger opportunities without all the BS.

And as a result, he was able to multiply his net-worth many times over, using the skills and the mastery that he had in marketing, serving a different market.

Since Mike walked away few were focused on helping people use online strategies for building their network marketing business in a meaningful way and seeking more efficient, more progressive way of doing things.

Again…

Not to say that people doing it a different way are bad

Absolutely not.

If it works for you, great.

But like my mentors, I’m focused on bringing this industry into the 21st century.

Per Steve, it was the resurgence of Elite Marketing Pro and me joining the company in 2014, which resulted in that voice advocating for innovation again.

You can’t imagine how humbled I am to be able to carry on Mike Dillard’s legacy.

Now I’ve seen a resurgence and a new energy around ‘attraction marketing’, especially as it relates to social media.

At the same time…

In a conversation with another network marketing trainer…

Who’d read some of my content and use of some pretty strong language to connect with networkers who are fed up with old-school recruiting…

He was telling me …

“I know these old ladies who are crushing it with home parties. How can you say that home parties or stuff like that is dead or dying? I know people making a killing doing this stuff.”

And I’m on the phone thinking …

“Who cares? I’m not an old lady selling candles or crystal. I don’t want to do home parties. The people I attract don’t want to do home parties either. They don’t want to have people at their house from 7-to-10 o’clock at night or beyond.”

The fact that home parties still work for some people has nothing to do with me or the people I train

My tribe doesn’t want to build that way.

I focus on attracting the people who are fed up with these old ways of doing things. To them, OLD SCHOOL is Dead!

Or sometimes they want to augment the things they’re already doing because they want to create more leverage.

Top earners, especially those under 35, approach me every day by Messenger, phone call, or email and say…

“I’m sick of old school! Can we talk?”

Their message is clear.

And sure, some are over 35, but especially the younger top earners, who put in the effort & reaping the income rewards with home meetings and hotel meetings, are maxed out with their time!

So even if they’re doing multiple-six figures, they have no time freedom!

…because they have TOO MANY F’ing meetings.

They’re sick of it.

They’re trying to find better ways to leverage their time so they can spend more time at home with their families while still building their businesses.

That’s who I want to attract.

So, are home meetings and hotel meetings dead?

Well, they’re dead for the people who know there’s a better way!

People who find the old way of building intolerable are looking for a different way.

I think home meetings and hotel meetings are as dead as the flip-phone.

This reminds me of something the CEO of Blockbuster Video said, when Netflix first launched…

He claimed that people liked to hold DVDs in their hands, so there was no need to worry.

Ummm…no and people don’t want to leave their house either!

They want to be able to instantly watch a movie, without getting out of bed.

That’s what people want.

So if you’re in the business of keeping it old-school, then you’re going to justify in your mind why that’s a good idea.

Video tapes, movie recorders, cassettes, landlines, and DVDs are all examples of once awesome technologies that are no longer relevant.

Now let’s talk about some things that are still being widely used, but will be becoming obsolete in the near future:

• Bills in the mail
• The use of paper
• Checkbooks
• Delivery people
• Cable TV

These things are still widely used, but the numbers are dwindling and the writing’s on the wall.

So my point is not old-school versus new-school

It’s about giving people the opportunity to progress and evolve and discover new skills that are going to be valuable to them in the future.

That’s why I fight so hard.

That’s why I remain committed to helping people learn attraction marketing and learn ways of building their marketing business through social media and online marketing.

Because it empowers them with skills that they can take anywhere, should the worst happen with their company, or should they decide to move on.

They’re empowered with skills so they can build any business they want.

A lot of us in the network marketing space got started not because we’re passionate about network marketing or even passionate about our product.

Network marketing was a means to an end.

We had a dream of some other kind of venture that could be funded by what we’re doing here in network marketing.

And guess what?

That dream business you have in mind?

It’s not going to be possible unless you learn online marketing and advertising skills!

That’s why, here at Elite Marketing Pro, we empower you with the skills you need to build ANY type of business online.

So if you’re ready to get started, you can learn more about online recruiting with this FREE 10-day online recruiting course, where we teach our entire system for building your business online.

Now, when we’re talking about using online strategies for building, we’re not talking about changing the fundamental skills of network marketing, we’re talking about changing the MEDIUM you use to communicate so you can become more efficient and effective.

And we’re willing to teach these strategies in an honest and direct way and have the type of conversations that no other trainer or leader in this industry is willing to have with you.

So look, if you like doing home parties or whatever, that’s awesome – keep doing ’em. You’re not who we are looking for.

But at some point, you’ll find that you and your team won’t want to spend time away from your families.

Moreover…

Younger millennials are not going to build old school.

Trust me; they’re not going to do business that way because they’re far too evolved from a technology standpoint in order to take a step back.
