Beyond The Hype: How To Really Succeed With Network Marketing
www.Internet-Marketing-Income.com
I have been in the network marketing industry for 4 years now and looking back at all the experiences I have had I can honestly say that I have been led down the wrong path on more than one occasion. I don't think my mentor purposely set me up for failure; I just think they didn't know any better.
Things Became Better Once I Broke Away From My Mentor...
I hate to say it but it's true. Here's what the problem was...my personality and how I relate with people was totally different from how my mentor related with people. We got along great and I did learn about about the network marketing industry from him, but how I actually worked my business was very different from how he worked his business.
There came a point when I said that I learned pretty much all I could from him and had to go out on my own. During the time he was mentoring me I was also learning about other ways to market my network marketing business. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to implement those techniques because the company I was with at the time had strict guidelines on how to market their company.
When I felt like I had enough education and experience to be on my own I decided to bow out of the current network maketing company that I was with and search for another one where I could use my new found marketing skills. After a lot of due diligence I found a company that has great products and uses "outside the box" marketing techniques.
Once I got my barrings with the company I developed a system that fit my personality and how I do business. When I put my system to work I was able see much more success then what I was previously experiencing when I was under my mentor in the other network marketing company.
After having success with my system I have decided to write a book about how I did network marketing in the past and how I do it now, and how you can learn from my experiences and implement my system into your marketing efforts to help you get more resutls.
This system can be used with almost any network marketing company out there! All you need to do is learn the system and take the time to set it up.

Business Systems and Leadership
Going back to the leaders in the industry, you'll notice that these leaders got to the right information, but they also developed a system allowed them to make money. Robert Kiyosaki, best selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Cash Flow Quadrant does an excellent job explaining business systems that leaders use to make money. Watch this to see what I mean....
Basically the left side of that quadrant the Employees don't get paid what they are worth or they don't believe they are worth more than they are, and you have a boss breathing down your neck the whole time. The Self Employed put hours upon hours into their business and have the headache of wearing many different hats in their own company never really getting the chance to get free from their business because they are always working, managing, doing the bills, advertising, etc. The right side is the "1st Class Seating" side because these people make the most money by two things...Leveraging Money (the Investor), or Leveraging Time (the Business Systems Owner). So if you think you are worth more than you make at your current job and don't want the headache of being Self Employed, then you need to jump to the "Right Side."
You might be saying, "Well, I can't be an investor because I have no money to invest!" That's OK because you now know that you are best suited for a Business System owner. But in order for you to capitalize on business systems you have to have the right kind of thinking and mindset. You have to learn to think like a leader and start acting like a leader. Check out the video below of Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady talking about the importance of a mentor, and how to apply the concept of leadership to your life.
More Important Words...
Define .. Learn .. Do Just as Information .. Action .. Results are important to your outcome in life, Define .. Learn .. Do are just as equally important. This is what happens to 95% of the people in this world...You go to school, get good grades, and when you are done with school you get a job. Now your boss at your job tells you what you are worth and pays you a salary accordingly.
This is totally backwards thinking, and what really happens is that you first LEARN (your job), then you DO (your job), and because your job only pays you a specific amount of money, that salary DEFINES your lifestyle. So no wonder people are in debt out the wazoo! They want better lifestyles that they can't afford so they "finance" their lifestyle which brings them further in debt.
Leaders, the 5% thinkers in this world, do it the right way. First they DEFINE what they want, then they LEARN the proper steps they need to take in order to get what they want, and finally they go and DO what it takes to get to what they want.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about...You want to make more money to pay off some of your debt and live more comfortably (DEFINE) and you heard that the internet is one of the biggest trends out there that is currently making people money. So how are you going to ride this trend and benefit from it? You are going to study everything you can about Leadership, Internet Marketing, Web 2.0, and other tactics that I have spent hours upon hours studying to do the exact same (LEARN), and finally you go out and act upon your new found knowledge and actually start making some money (DO).
Keep this in mind, we are all the same from the neck down. It is from our neck up that makes us different. It is the knowledge that we put in our brains that empower us to live lifestyles that we have always dreamed of living. I encourage you to put some of that knowledge in your brain so you can be empowered to Define, Learn, and Do!
I know that this kind of thinking may be new to some of you, so you can always read up more on these leadership principles on my website at:

OK, So Who Is Mike Feil Anyway??
Well, I was born, raised, and still living in Wilmington, DE. I am married to my beautiful wife Christina and we have two beautiful girls. Christina is into scrap booking, fitness, and volleyball, and I do Jiu-Jitsu, rock climbing, and white water rafting. On nice days I like to get on my dirt bike and ride the trails or open it up in a field. When I am not doing crazy stuff I love to spend time with my family. Nothing is better than playing Barbies and Princesses with my 2 daughters! You think I'm joking? I'm not! If you have young kids you will know that they live and breathe for your attention, and the best gift you can give your kids is your time and attention. So, yeah, I'll play Barbies with my girls! Now if I was just playing Barbies alone in some corner then we'd have a problem and I would probably be on some kind of medication. :) Another thing I love to do is spend time with my wife Christina. We have been married for 10 years now and she is an awesome woman!
As far as business goes, I have always worked in the health care field and have always enjoyed it because it's a people field. Yeah, I enjoy helping people. It makes me feel good knowing that I was able to help someone through the information I have given them, or the actions that I took to improve their situation. That is why I love doing what I am doing now...Helping people improve their lives in the areas of finances, relationships, and business skills through leadership principles.
In the past 4 years I have done a lot to improve my life. It took a lot of studying and researching on leadership principles, marketing, internet trends, etc., but in the long run it was worth it because I have something to show from my hard work which is success. Yeah, I have made a lot of mistakes financially and through business ventures in the past, but those mistakes were steps in my learning process. What I have learned I can now share with other people so they don't have to make the same mistakes that I have made, and hopefully they can become successful faster than it took me.
