The Trump Network is a new company that has burst onto the scene over the last couple of months. Most of the buzz about the company has centered around the company’s owner, celebrity and business mogul, Donald Trump. The company’s products revolve around nutrition and vitamin supplements, making it fall into the health and wellness category of network marketing companies. One thing that sets them apart is that they really customize each individual’s supplements by using patented tests. They also have a excellent compensation plot that offers upfront bonuses and back-end residual income. Before I go on, I want to tell that I’m not a Trump Network distributor, but after researching their products and business model, I can tell you that they are a solid business opportunity.With that said, having a excellent compensation plot and fantastic products alone doesn’t guarantee success. It’s critical to your success to have a simple system to recruit new distributors and enroll new customers or you will fail. Many people join The Trump Network and fail to build a business because they fail to bring a sufficient amount of distributors and customers. Make no mistake about it, if you want to succeed, you will have to sponsor a lot of distributors. Here’s some success tips to help you build your business by sponsoring more reps quick:1. Identify what you’re excellent at and how you want to build your business. Are you excellent at presenting to live groups? Are you better at presenting through webinars online? Are you effective at presenting information over the phone? Whatever you’re excellent should give you an thought of where to place your focus on.2. Once you identify what you’re excellent at and where you should place your focus on, stay with that method until it works for you. Too many distributors in The Trump Network are trying to do too many things. Their focus is scattered and they aren’t getting results. It’s vital to apply your total focus and commitment around the skillsets you identified in step 1.3. Stay focused on income-generating activities, like sponsoring new distributors and enrolling new customers. In your Trump Network business, there will be many moving parts, but if you want to build a business and make money, you have to stay focused on these two activities 99% of the time.4. Become an brilliant goal-setter. Goal setting requires you to make a plot to achieve your goal, but more importantly you need to set a deadline to achieve your goal. Set some real goals with your Trump Network business and stay focused on them until you achieve them.Achieving major success in your Trump Network business isn’t hard, assuming you implement the above four things. There’s really nothing hard about them, but success will be about you having the discipline to repeat a few simple things over and over again, over an extended period of time.

 

… they are quoted hundreds of times a day on Twitter.

For the record, I like a motivational quote as much as then next gal.  The targeted quote used to introduce an article or chapter can be informational and inspirational, but thousands of quotes a day on Twitter are just Internet fodder.

Successful social media aficionados have to post and tweet many times a day even if they have nothing of consequence to say.  Right?   No. You can reach your desired audience with fascinating and beneficial information while maintaining your decorum.  Got to use a quote here – “Less is more” Robert Browning

Etiquette in the virtual space has the same rules as in the physical space.  You would never spam someone at a dinner party and if you did you wouldn’t be invited again.  Before jumping into your sales pitch, you’d take time to get to know the person and establish rapport. Before sending endless correspondence, you’d question permission and if declined you would happily respect the request. 

Online doesn’t mean anonymous. In fact, your local online community is a just that – a community.  Although it’s larger, it still has the same expectation of etiquette, manners and acceptable behavior as any community. You are expected to be polite in person and online.

Facebook and other online social sites give us the opportunity to have more friends than ever before.  That’s because we can more easily keep up with the activities that make us friends.  It is estimated that before social media, we had an average of 150 friends.  With social media, that average is up around 700.    But we still expect kindness, politeness and courtesy from our friends.  I like Aliza Sherman’s 10 Golden Rules of Social Media as a guide to using the online communities. Regardless of the media, we are people communicating with people. 

As the social media and marketing experts (that’s all of us) choose what is an effective online strategy and as our expectations of social media as a marketing tool are redefined, we should remember what our mothers taught us –

“If you can’t say something that’s not spam, don’t say anything”

“There is no substitute for excellent manners”

“Silence is golden”

and “Don’t forget the Golden Rule.”

Until next time … shhhhh

The most successful entrepreneurs demonstrate particular skills and attributes. But are they born with these or are they developed over time? Have you got what it takes to become an entrepreneur or are you better suited to corporate life?

In a recent White Paper on Competitiveness, the UK Government said “Entreprenuership and innovation are central to the creative processes in the economy, to promoting growth, increasing productivity and making jobs. Entrepreneurs sense opportunities and take risks in the face of uncertainty to open new markets, design new products and develop innovative processes. In today’s knowledge driven economy this is critical in large and small businesses alike.”

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a useful starting point would be to assess your own competencies. Question yourself: how do I measure up against the best entrepreneurs in the world?

A study of 17 successful entrepreneurs identified 9 competencies that can predict, with about 80% accuracy, which individuals have the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs of the future.

This study showed the entrepreneurs to be people who are driven and focused, with a huge capacity for work. They also demonstrated high levels of integrity and consistency when dealing with individuals and a particularly generous approach to sharing the rewards of success. They had an eye for developing a business that would stand the test of time and that would contribute to their local community.

What stands out amongst these individuals is the passion they have for what they are doing. That passion feeds their success and drives them forward.

Dr David McClelland, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, one of the world’s leading authorities on leadership and motivation, proved that entreprenueiral behaviours can be developed and that once these behaviours are developed, business performance improves.

If it is possible to develop these entrepreneurial behaviours, how do you do it?

Firstly, make sure your chosen field is something that really grabs you, something you believe in completely and can talk about confidently. Remember you will have to convince others it’s a excellent thought and there will be some risk-taking involved! Know your stuff, know your market, know your limitations, and then go beyond them.

Why I picked Donald Trump as an example is, that he has done an brilliant job in brand building. Basically we all home business entrepreneurs can do the same for our brands in our businesses.
1.The Brand In Home Business Sells More.
It is clear that people want to buy repeatedly from a well known site, which they have excellent experiences of. A familiar brand is a safe and simple choice for most of us. It means lower risks and quaranteed customer experience. The question of repeat buys is vital. Strong brands have more loyal customers. They own a place in the thoughts of the customers.
People tend to question for help from each other, when they are looking a place in the internet to buy something. It is simple to recommend a strong brand. Strong brand in home business means that the image, which the customer has, is of better quality and this means that the sites with strong image can sell with higher prices and people accept that and even wait for that. They see that then the quality/price ratio is in balance.
2. Build Home Business Brand With Trust!
One way to know brand building is to see brands as human beings. In many respects they are much alike. Brand building is like building relationships between people. Reckon about that. How many aspects is included in those relationships.
And how many phases there is. Introduction, get to know better, small disappointments, like and despise, breaks in the relationship and so on. Over time people change, so do the brands. But there is one fundamental difference, brands never grow ancient. They can always be up dated, to look young and sexy all the time.
But back to the comparison. The most vital issue in human relations is the trust between two people. Trust, what is it? It means that both parties have an understanding, why they like each other and as far as these issues are working well, there is no problem. But if another party feels that another one has broken one of these core trust issues, the trust starts to weaken. So it is very healthy to reckon often, what are the trust factors in my home business, those I have to keep.
You can build trust by giving, what you have promised. Do not overpromise and underdeliver. That means automatically disappointment, which people remember for a long time. A disappointed customer also talks to other customers in the market, for instance in forum posts, and the terrible image starts to grow. If this happens, an entrepreneur must straight away right the situation.
It is simpler to know the brand and trust, when you look your business with the eyes of the customer. Be creative and imagine, what you wait from your regular internet supplier. What feelings you have, when you visit his site, what would you change or do better.
3.What Is The Brand Made Of?
The brand is the image, which your target audience has about your home business website.
It is a package, which includes visual and copy style, products for sale, service the webmaster offers, the ability of the site to renew itself and the competing sites, with which the customers compare your site. There are alot of elements, which you have to adjust all the time.
1.The Brand Must Be Active!
Yes, active. Customers have to recognise that your home business site follows the trends and has enough changes. Even surprises. My experience from advertising agencies show that people like new things and are keen to try them. A leading brand in home business must simply lead the development and try new things first. If they do not work saleswise, they do excellent for the brand anyway.
The home business brand is the image, your target audience has about your site. The better image vs. your competitor the better. Reckon your home business with the eyes of your customer. Then some day you can say like Donald Trump that my site is the hottest brand in home business planet!

There are many careers out there for an entrepreneur but only a few are proven to produce wealth and even fewer are recommended by Donald Trump and Warren Buffet. This industry is the Home-Based-Business industry, where careers are established daily for new and rising entrepreneurs. When questioned how they would remake their fortunes if they were to suddenly go bankrupt, both Donald Trump and Warren Buffet said they would start in the Network Marketing industry and rebuild their fortunes from there.The potential of this industry is no joke. There are six-figure earners being made everyday. But there exists an element of HYPE in the industry as well. Any seasoned network marketer will tell you that this is certainly NOT a get-rich quick industry. It often takes YEARS of hard work and persistence to make headway. But with the right strategies and training it is now possible to achieve financial wealth within 1-2 years if the entrepreneur has a solid work ethic and learns the most cutting edge principles of MARKETINGIt is well known in every business model that marketing is one of the most essential strategies to growing and building a business. Many entrepreneur careers are not catalyzed and slow-growing because of a lack of marketing. But with cutting-edge technologies to take advantage today, there is absolutely no reason that a home-based-business owner in this modern age should not use the internet to market their business.Another aspect of home-based-business companies that must be kept in mind are the products that are sold. Not only do you have to feel that the product is a right fit for you and your standard quality, it is also vital these products are High Ticket Items. High-Ticket Items are sold for higher monetary value (usually in the thousands) and as a result offer higher commissions. By earning these higher commissions, the entrepreneur only needs to make a few sales a week in order to reach their quota for financial freedom. They also only need a FRACTION of the number of downlines it would take in a regular MLM company to make the same amount of money. With Higher-ticket Items it is much simpler to reach your goals of financial freedom in this industry. Otherwise you would have to focus on moving MASS volumes of product just to make an average income, which is the case in MOST MLMs.

I just cannot believe the buzz out there about The Trump Network! Every where I turn to, I hear about how this business is going to change people’s lives and how it’s going to revolutionise the entire industry – wow! People believe that the industry has never seen anything like it before and many people are sucked into the hype hoping to become rich overnight.

Donald Trump has now launched his own company which promotes health and wellness products and like all the other network marketing companies, it also offers the business opportunity so that people can experience financial independence and have freedom. It’s no surprise because Trump does endorse the network marketing industry. He even said that if he was to start all over again, he would make millions in this industry.

Thousands of people are now flocking into this opportunity with very high expectations. People believe that this company is going to solve all the problems experienced by the network marketers. They seem to reckon that Trump is going to change how business is done and magically make it possible for them to get rich. Some people say that the business will be simple as they will plug into a fully automated system that will generate leads for them.

Is it really that simple in network marketing? Can you really achieve success without doing the work, putting time and effort? The truth is, network marketing is NOT simple and if it was, everyone would be doing it. There is nothing incorrect with joining The Trump Network, but don’t do it with high hopes that you will become rich instantly. People have to realise that it’s not the fantastic company, the incredible products and the fantastic compensation plot that will make them successful. Of course, that helps a bit.

The Trump Network is no different to the other network marketing companies out there. People need to know exactly what to do in order to increase their chances of success. A fact is, the buzz is going to disappear with time and people will start wondering why they are not making any money. And there would be a lot of disappointed and struggling distributors out there.

The excellent news is, that can be prevented if people take ACTION and place the right marketing strategies in place to build their Trump business. At the end of the day, it all boils down to HOW you market, not WHAT you market – very vital!

The network marketing industry has changed tremendously due to the power of the internet. You need to brand yourself and be well positioned in order to stand out in this competitive market place.You need to STOP pushing your business opportunity forward and get the right training on how to promote yourself instead.

You also need to get a system that will provide you with the training on the effective marketing strategies that you can use to attract qualified leads into your business. Without leads, your business will crumble. And using the traditional methods of convincing people to join you, will just not cut it in this day and age.

All smart marketers have a way to make cashflow by collecting affiliate commissions to fund their business costs. This strategy also allows you make money off people who don’t join you. If you don’t use this smart strategy to build your Trump business, I promise you, you will go broke before you see any significant results.

These are some of the things that will help you towards reaching your business goals and increase your chances to becoming a top earner in your company. The question is, are you ready to take ACTION and apply the exact strategies that the top earners use to build their empires? Nothing will happen without YOU!

FORGET about “simple money” and “overnight success” and learn how to build your Trump business!

If you screen through all the financial disaster and crisis news you can find some people who are shinning light on solutions for people. In the past few weeks there has been quit a bit of people suggesting home based businesses as a solution – but you need to start NOW.

I was in the bookstore last week and happened to see the new issue of “Success” magazine with Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad books, and his wife on the cover. What really caught my attention was the pre-headline at the top of the magazine which read, “Robert Kiyosaki & Donald Trump: Why We Recommend Network Marketing”.

Donald Trump also gives his endorsement: “Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income.”

Anyone who has ever set foot in a bookstore, read a newspaper or watched television has heard of Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. Their names are associated with smart, honest ways of becoming rich. Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump set the record straight. Not only do they really validate the network marketing industry as a legitimate business opportunity but they say it’s one of the BEST models available! In both of their books they give fantastic points as to WHY it’s such a fantastic business model.

Also a few weeks ago a friend of ours, Loral Langemeier, was on the Dr. Phil’s show helping families recover and redirect their resources to overcome financial difficulties. As Dr. Phil went through his list of top five solutions he suggested starting a home based business.

So if you value their thoughts and opinions how do you get started in finding out what is best for you?

It is vital to research the type of business you start, the organization and the team you associate yourself with. This is critical and is the difference between success or failure. All businesses require a proficient team or group of people, a business with solid financing and leadership, and excellent products or services.

Some businesses and teams are more successful than others. There are some solid reasons for this. Reasons that are always noticed straight away, but found in the financial strength of the company, strength or lack or leadership, quality, human (team) relationships and the team’s attainment and cooperation of the their goals, missions, requirements, and delivery of the products or services. In business, as it is in sports, there are some clear-cut ways you could use to build a successful business and team. The generation of thoughts, the right attitudes and character, and solid leadership make a team successful, not merely adherence to some principles. Since business is based on teams and are composed of people, only solid leadership will ensure the quality and success of the team. So your success also depends on the TEAM you choose to work with.

A excellent match between you, the business opportunity and the team you choose to work with can improve your success rate whereas the incorrect choice can make the opportunity a terrible choice or experience. The following are some steps to help guide you in your journey of finding your solution in business and your team.

Step 1:Choose what you are looking for in a business and a team. Make a list of what you are looking for.

Step 2:Who are the main leaders? What are their backgrounds? How long have they been involved? What are their goals? What are they excellent at?

Step 3:Interview them! This is your business. Would you hire anyone without interviewing them? Who are they? What is their background? What are their goals? What is their history?

Step 4:What is the support system? Who will be helping you learn the ropes? Will I be getting most of my support from the corporation, the leaders, a system or the person I choose to partner with? What do they expect from you and what will you get from them? Some people build their business for long-term residual income so they want to do everything in their power to help you succeed. Some might just see it as a temporary infusion of cash. Make sure your goals match theirs, talk to their partner or interview another potential partner.

Step 5:What tools and support is available? Will the company and person you choose help you make a business plot? Do they have an simple to follow plot to help lead you to success?

Once you are sure you have found the right business and team for you, work with them to help launch your business. Remember… success is up to you so give your new business and team your absolute best!
