Desire the fire that keeps you going when times are tough. Barnes didn’t know Edison yet his burning desire was to be in business with Edison. 5 years later he got his opportunity. We are tested to see how much we truly want our burning desire. It may take years of searching; it may take a while to learn those skills that are necessary to be a success.

Sometimes its being out there asking for help and realizing who is really willing to help You out and who isn’t. Who is going to stand there beside You with that goal or dream, even when You ask someone can I count on You for help. You learn to filter out who is truly willing to help You out. Yet desire means keeping on going until You achieve that goal. Whether its getting married, being a father and husband, traveling the world, climbing a mountain, being able to see again, being able to walk again, having better health, becoming tightened toned and firm, being able to provide for our family.

We have to keep that fire going as we are going to learn from faith and believe we can achieve that goal. Just keeping on working until we are at that place where we achieve that goal which we were working towards. Yet be careful who You express Your sweetest desires to or intentions to, the person You are speaking with about such may attempt to get fear to overtake Your goal or dream and it pushes You back. They may push their own desires onto you.

We must remain strong and steadfast with our own goals and dreams and say this is what I am wanting and I am going to achieve such. This is what I am going to do to achieve this goal and talk carefully with those who we know are in sympathy of what we are looking to achieve.

Thank you to everyone on this journey for everything you have ever done for me, in Your own way you have all taught lessons of which are worth a lifetime.

Have you stopped working towards a goal and quit when it got too rough or someone told you that you are unable to do such or even the You can’t do such. Although you know you can do such as we all know that anything we put our minds to becomes a reality. When a person use’s words saying that You are unable to do such it paints a picture of their reality. That person wants to control You and your own thoughts. They are telling You what to think and pushing their own thoughts onto You.

I am sure all of us can relate in some way to having that dream and hearing such from a loved one. We had someone give up on us as they stopped believing in us, we may have even given up on our own goal or dream. The person stood their supporting us for ages and then suddenly they just stopped or walked away. What happened as a rule a stronger reality got to the person. The person believed in someone else more and so they just walked away.

At times we can have a little dream which we just keep to ourselves and allow to grow, a thought impulse that comes from the universe and allows us to go on to win despite hearing all that opposition. Those who keep on going obtain the knowledge they can write their own check in life, even though they may have no idea how they are going to achieve such.

That idea may be as simple as a wanting to get married and going out there and keeping on going, learning along the way the rules of dating, learning relationships and to build beta relationships to become a beta communicator. Even though we may find those who are unable to believe with their own dream or vision its they keep on going saying I am going to do this.

It may well keep them up day and night how in the world I am going to do such, yet in the end despite their many failures they arrive at their dream goal. They arrive their as they kept on going despite their many failures and the power of their own thoughts as shown by Barnes when wanted to be in business with Eddision that he turned up believing he could be such and went to work as he was determined to do such. His thoughts said I am going to do this.

It may mean getting up early in the morning to attend conference calls or mentoring for free trainings yet when you believe Your going to be able to achieve that life you so desire then its easy for you getting up at 430 am just of a conference call. Its easy to attend the calls, its easy to go to the gym or to do what you need to do when you say this is what I am going to do and I am refusing to stop.

A brilliant lesson from own mentor Michael Dlouhy with getting your prospects on autoship. Such a powerful truth.

How To Get Your Network Marketing Prospects On Autoship

Key: How Your Company Business Model Drives The Behavior In The Field

A huge percentage of successful businesses, both online & offline, offer "autoship." Autoship - also known as "til forbid""- means your company automatically ships product every month on a credit card order, until they are told to stop.

I never talk to a prospect about our company compensation plan without telling them that they need to be on autoship. I start by telling them how Linda & I won the Diamond trip to Italy last year. A week before we left, our company President called me up and said, "Michael, I've got to ask you a question."

I said, "Sure. What is that?"

He said, "Last Thursday, we noticed in your group that you had a 94% autoship."

I chuckled and said. "Huh? It should be 100%!"

And he laughed and I laughed. I know that's extremely high. And he wanted to know, "Well, how do you do that?"

I told him, "Because we explain it."

Here Is What I Say To My Prospects

It's designed for my company situation, but you can model it for your company. Just think about these points, and how you can relate them to YOUR business.

Here is what I tell my prospects:

If you're going to join me in my business, you're going to want to be on autoship for 3 good reasons. Let me explain that to you.

The first reason you want to be on autoship is, you can now write that autoship amount off your taxes as overhead, just like your advertising budget, because you're going to use those products to give away as samples to somebody. That is an advertising expense. So you can write that off and get free product from the company.

Reason number 2: you do want to get free product from our company. We have X number of products, and if you're only using 3 or 4 of them, you might never ever experience our Super Duper Energy Formula. Last month, they gave that away to everyone on a $100 autoship. This month they gave away their weight-loss product.

Now, you might not need to lose weight, but maybe your sister does. If you had a free product, you'd probably give it to your sister.

Reason #3: If you join as an Instant Grand Space Commander, that's $499. You get $600 worth of product, and the $29 kit. You get the same websites, no monthly fees. And the company pays up to a $200 fast start bonus on that. So when you sponsor new Instant Grand Space Commanders, you have the potential to make $200 from every one of those sign-ups.

If you come in as an Instant Poobah at $189, you can get up to an $80 fast start bonus.

Now - there's also a $29 level, if you just want to be an associate. You don't get any product.

The main thing is, the autoship is the same for both the Instant Grand Space Commander & Instant Poobah. So if you come in at $499, you can leverage and earn a $200 fast-start on your recruits, and if you want to build income, that gives you your best value.

I Never Push Them One Way Or Another

I give them that information and let them make up their mind. And most come in as Instant Grand Space Commander.

Now here's the point. If a person almost understands what I just said about the business, and about how they can write it off their taxes and everything, is there any reason they wouldn't be on autoship?

There's only one time a guy told me, No, he couldn't afford it. And I asked him what he did for a living. He said he worked for Home Depot. So I told him that when he goes in to work on Monday, change his withholding from 1 dependent to 9 dependents. The government will never challenge it or check it. They'll take $50 to $70 a week less out of your check.

And you'll get $200-$300 a month more money in your pocket that you can build your business with. At the end of the year, when you file your taxes, all you have to do is claim your home-based business, and you can write off all the money your're spending on your business because of that. (I'm not a tax consultant, and you need to talk with your tax consultant to verify this.)

If you explain that, you'll get 90% or more on autoship. Why would they not be on autoship if they understand how this works?

Now here's the point. Maybe you build a group of 1000 reps. But if you only have 100 of them on autoship, what good did you do? So you'd better build from the top down, having your front-line leaders on autoship.

Make sense?

To Your Success,

Ben Drake
