When the Universe Winks At You

by 4 Comments

At certain times in my life I have been able to activate a very interesting phenomenon where I go through a period of time where a whole bunch of “co-incidences” or as Deepak Chopra calls them “Synchronicities” seem to show up in my life in a very profound way.

The first time I went through this phenomenon was back in 2001 / 2002 when a good friend of mine and I really got heavily into studying the Law of Attraction.

We immersed ourselves in everything related to the Law of Attraction, reading books, listening to audios, meditating and manifesting all kinds of weird stuff.

There was one book, however, that seemed to greatly accelerate and unlock this process where seemingly on a daily basis we were manifesting anywhere from one to ten different events that were just TOO WEIRD to be a co-incidence.

You know when you have one of those moments where you think of someone you haven’t thought about for a really long time, and in that exact moment they phone you?

Or when you think of a song you haven’t heard in a really long time and a few moments later it starts playing on the radio?

Well when that type of thing happens to someone ONCE in like a month or a year, people think it’s a co-incidence and dismiss it as nothing more than chance.

But imagine if you were able to activate a phenomenon where this type of thing was happening to you EVERY DAY, multiple times per day!

That is exactly what happened to my friend and I.

Really weird stuff started to happen over and over again, and it got to the point where we were even starting to scare the people around us. 🙂

We would go for lunch with a small group of people and in a one hour time-span a whole bunch of weird stuff like that would happen and the people we were with were starting to get scared by it – LOL.

It got to the point where my friend and I ended up manifesting a physical object in front of us that didn’t belong where we saw it, and it happened under such weird circumstances that it honestly scared the crap out of me.

It’s one thing to play around with the Law of Attraction to help you manifest some extra money, or a new job or a new relationship, but when weird objects start to show up in your reality, it can get a bit scary.

At one point we got to a point where things just got TOO weird and we got a bit scared that we would totally peel away The Matrix so we stopped playing with it!

Fast forward to today, and in the past few weeks I have once again picked up this one book that was the catalyst to all these weird things way back in 2002, and once again WEIRD STUFF is starting to happen.

Since I started reading this book, every single day I am experiencing really weird synchronicities that just keep showing up.

This time around I’m not as scared though, so I’m just allowing more and more of it to flow into my life and it’s a lot of fun to see what the Universe decides to show up in my life that day.

When these weird events happen, I see them as the Universe “winking” at me, showing me just how malleable our reality really is.

In the last few weeks, it’s been “winking” at me every day, multiple times a day and it’s a LOT of fun to experience these weird things.

At some point I might actually shoot some videos or even maybe put together a quick course where I share some of the strategies that I have found to work in my life that seem to accelerate more and more of these “winks” showing up in your life in a greater frequency.

If this is something you’d like to learn how to do, leave a comment below and I’ll put together some videos where I reveal my strategies for activating this phenomenon in your life as well as the title of the book which significantly boosted the number of “winks” I started receiving from the Universe all of a sudden, almost as if by magic!

 

Why Your MLM Business Needs a Blog in 2015 and Beyond

by Leave a Comment

I joined my very first MLM company way back in mid 1990’s.

I followed the typical “plan” of putting together a 25 – 100 name list, and contacting everyone I knew to try to either sit down with them and my sponsor in person, or inviting them to a meeting.

I was excited, and determined to make it work, so I did everything my sponsors told me and starting pitching every family member, friend and relative I could get a hold of – some of whom I hadn’t even seen or spoken to for years prior to contacting them.

At first I saw some short-term success, being able to sponsor a few of my friends and sell some product purely based on my enthusiasm and relentless follow-up.

But there was one major FLAW with what I was doing.

The flaw was that I DID NOT enjoy trying to hard-sell my friends and relatives on products and a business opportunity they didn’t really have any interest in.

Those that did come to meetings and who bought products mostly did so out of a sense of obligation and a sense of doing me a favor.

I did NOT like how that felt at all, but I still did it because that is what my sponsors told me “the plan” was.

I learned all I could about the products I was promoting, I attended virtually every meeting, and I even quit my job to pursue my MLM business full time.

The challenge was that even when I DID see some short-term success by singing up people, there was NO DUPLICATION in my business because nobody wanted to do what I was doing.

The last thing anyone wants to do is to pick up the phone and try to call their friends and relatives to try to pitch them on a business opportunity.

So after two years of struggle, and on the verge of bankruptcy I quit my MLM business and went back to working a regular job.

I don’t regret those two years though as I learned so much about business and personal development and I later used that education to make a six-figure income running my own business.

Because of this I have a very deep “love / hate” relationship with the MLM industry.

I love the culture, I love the people, I love the meetings, I love the personal development training and so many other things.

The only thing that I don’t like about the traditional MLM industry is the outdated marketing system that relies solely on “attacking” your 25 name list or 100 name list, or in today’s updated version your Facebook friend list and spamming everyone you know with yet another “business opportunity”.

If you’ve ever been in an MLM or are currently in an MLM, you know as well as I do that THAT marketing plan doesn’t work.

Why?

Well, for a few reasons:

  1. Chances are, your friends and family are probably not interested in the products you’re selling.
  2. Chances are, your friends and family are probably not interested in the business opportunity you’re promoting.
  3. Even if your friends and family MIGHT be interested in either the products or business opportunity you’re promoting, chances are the TIMING might not be right.  Meaning they might eventually be interested, but maybe not for another 6 months or a year or 2 years etc.  For example, if your MLM promotes weight loss products and I’m currently not interested in losing weight than the timing is not right for me.

Now, before you start thinking that I’m just being negative or pessimistic, I’m not saying that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to grow your business in your warm market.

I’m just saying it’s NOT EASY and there is a MUCH better and easier way to promote your MLM business.

How?

Well, think about this…

What if instead of trying to pitch your friends and relatives – who are most likely not interested – what if you could find a way to connect to the THOUSANDS of people who are currently looking for the products your MLM is selling or who are looking for an MLM opportunity right now?

Let me give you a real life example from someone who just recently asked me the question of what would be the benefit of starting a Blog for someone building an MLM company.

The MLM company that they are building sells water filtration products which also ionize and alkalize tap water to make it healthier for you.

Now, someone in such an MLM *could* make a 25 name list of their friends and relatives and then try to hard-sell them on these water filters.

But chances are, you’ll just end up annoying your friends that way.

And even if you DO find one or two or three friends who may be interested in such a product, you can’t build a business on just a couple of customers.

So what’s a better alternative?

Why not connect with people who are already interested in your product instead!???!

Here, check out this quick report I did with Google.

It shows that every single month there are approximately 320 people searching for “alkaline water filters” and 6,600 people searching for “alkaline water machine” and 1,600 searching for “where to buy alkaline water”.

So let me ask you this…

Who do you think would be MORE interested in potentially buying your alkaline water filter product… someone who is currently RIGHT NOW searching for “alkaline water machine” inside Google, or your 70 year old aunt Judie who doesn’t even know what alkaline water is?

See, this is the main flaw with traditional MLM marketing that relies solely on warm market tactics and referrals.

It’s just too darn difficult to find the RIGHT people using those old antiquated methods.

And why would you want to anyways, when the Internet has now made it possible to connect with people who are looking for YOUR product right now!

Why not just sell to those people who are already looking to buy what you’re selling?

Now you might be asking “Okay, but how do you do that?  How do you find these people and get in front of them?”

The answer is that you need to start a Blog.

You start a blog and you start blogging about your niche market.  If your niche is alkaline water filters, then you start a blog which talks about alkaline water filters or the benefits of a pH balanced water or alkaline water or whatever else your product does.

You start to use technologies like Blogging and social media to grow a following of users who are interested in learning more about alkaline water and healthy water and SOME of those people who might be interested in buying a water filtration system might end up buying from you.

It doesn’t happen over night though.  You don’t just throw up a crappy Blog in 5 minutes and expect to make millions.

You have to have a long term vision for your Blog and a passion for whatever products you’re selling / promoting.

You start blogging about your passion and you build up a following of regular readers who will be interested in the products you’re selling.

Also, at the same time you’ll also be building up your own name, your own brand, which will also help you to attract the right people who might be interested in joining your business opportunity.

Now, there are two more very common questions that people usually have about this method of building an MLM.

#1 – “But Paul, my MLM company already gave me a replicated website…can’t I just use that?”

The answer is NO.

You see, the website that your company gave you is a replicated website that THOUSANDS of other reps in your company are all using.

Yes these websites are customized with your name, phone number and usually a picture and other contact info, but outside of those few pieces of information these websites all contain the same generic information that the company produced.

To a search engine like Google, these replicated websites are all seen as duplicate content.

What that basically means is that Google sees your replicated website as yet another copy of the company’s website and as a result they will NOT send any traffic to your site.

Why?  Because Google is interested in providing their searching audience a variety of information when searching for a specific keyword.  Google does NOT want someone to search for a keyword and then find that Google is showing 10,000 websites with all the same information.

This is why replicated websites from MLM companies will never work in that way.

They’re great for spamming  your friends and relatives on Facebook with the typical “Hey, I just started a new business, check out my website.” type message that most people send to their friends, but that marketing method just doesn’t work anymore in 2015.

People are tired of constantly being bombarded on Facebook with spam messages like that when they have no interest in a product.

Outside of that though, these replicated websites that an MLM company gives you will never produce any traffic or leads for you from Google search traffic because Google will NOT index and display these websites in their search listings.

So what WILL Google display?

What is the ONE type of website that Google has been PROVEN to LOVE and rank very highly in their search listings?

BLOGS!!!

Google loves Blogs and that is why if you want to capture some of that free traffic from people who are actually looking for your product you’re going to need to start a blog.

The second question that people ask is…

#2 – “But Paul, I don’t know anything about Blogging, or starting a Blog, or getting traffic to my Blog.  How would I even learn how to do this?”

This is a very good question.

If you’re going to start a Blog and do it properly so that your Blog actually works properly and actually gets you traffic, you’re going to need to invest in a blogging platform that actually produces results.

The platform I recommend is Kalatu.

Kalatu is built on the world standard WordPress platform but it eliminates all the technical challenges that non-techie people get stuck on when trying to setup WordPress.

Not only that but Kalatu also includes a proven training system which not only gives you the blogging tool (Kalatu) but also trains you on HOW to actually Blog and how to build an audience and how to get traffic to your Blog so that you can actually connect with those future clients of yours.

When you get access to Kalatu, you’re also joining a community of like-minded Bloggers who are each creating their own Blogs where they blog about their own passions, the products or services that they are selling or promoting and we all support each other.

6 Beliefs Only Top MLM Income Earners Believe

by Leave a Comment

There are 6 key beliefs that separate top income earners in network marketing / MLM from those who struggle in this business.

Here they are:

#1 – Belief in the MLM / Network Marketing Industry

The first belief that you must have to be successful in this industry is a high belief in the industry itself being a solid, realistic and effective way for ordinary people to make money and for companies to distribute their products.

If you have hangups, doubts and fears about the MLM industry itself, it will be difficult to promote your product and/or opportunity to others.

To be successful as an MLM / Network Marketer you have to always be building your belief in this industry.

Constantly be on the lookout for resources such as books, videos, reports, etc. which speak positively and highly of this industry and stay away from the naysayers and skeptics who are too ignorant to even understand the difference between a legitimate network marketing opportunity and a pyramid scheme.

#2 – Belief in the Company You’re In

If you’re going to succeed you need to have a high level of belief in the company that you’re a part of and what it stands for.

If you can’t get excited about the company you’re promoting it will be hard for you to succeed.

You must have a high belief in the mission and the culture of the company you’re promoting.

To build this belief attend live events, listen to update calls and watch training materials which share information about the company and it’s accomplishments.

#3 – Belief in the Leadership of the Company

The next thing you must have a high belief in is the leadership behind the company you’re a part of.

Try to get to know who the leadership in the company is, and get to know them a bit and WHY they are passionate about the company they are leading / running.

Again, you can learn a lot about your leadership by attending live events, online hangouts, update calls and by watching company produced training videos and materials.

#4 – Belief in the Product

You must also believe in the products or services you are selling.

I’ve been approached by many people with MLM opportunities that were pretty exciting, but I didn’t believe in their products and so I didn’t join.

Why?  Well, because if you can’t believe in the products you’re selling inside an MLM company, it will be virtually impossible to be ultra successful in the company.

And really the ONLY way to build your belief in the products is to firstly OWN the products you’re selling and to actually USE them in your life, and secondly to be constantly attending events and trainings where you are “sold” on the products that your company is promoting.

You MUST understand the benefits of your products, you must understand how your products are different and better than other similar products and what makes them unique.

Make it a point to always be getting better at understanding the products you’re promoting.

Also, studying testimonials from other people who have used the company’s products and have achieved success with them will help to build your belief.

#5 – Belief in the Compensation Plan

The next thing you have to believe in is your company’s compensation plan.

Most new MLM / Network Marketers make the mistake of not taking the time to understand their company’s compensation plan.

Their attitude is usually one of “Oh well, I don’t really care…I’ll figure it out once I’m making a lot of money…” and that is a mistake.

You MUST at least understand the basics of the compensation plan of your company and set aside time in your schedule to go through the company’s training resources which teach you how the compensation plan works.

Don’t assume you understand it just because you’ve seen something similar before.

Really take the time to understand it and understand the benefits of it.

Each compensation plan has it’s advantages and disadvantages, and if you understand how your company’s compensation pan works you can build and structure your business in such a way so as to maximize your profits and the growth of your business.

And finally, to be successful in the MLM industry you must also have a…

#6 – Belief in Yourself

Belief in yourself and your ability to succeed is probably THE most important of the 6 core beliefs you must have in this industry.

To build your belief in yourself get on a personal development program, reading the RIGHT books and listening to the RIGHT audios on a daily basis.

The world out there is NOT friendly to the entrepreneurial spirit.  People around you will most likely try to tear you down, scare you and instill fear into your plans.

They THINK that they are doing you a favor by protecting you from making some sort of mistake, but all that their negativity will do is lower you belief in yourself.

To counteract this negativity and fear you MUST plug into reading the right books and listening to the right audios.

If you don’t know which books to read, I would start with this list of books here.

If you want to know which audios to listen to I would highly recommend the Inner Circle audios which you can find here.

In today’s episode of “Driving With Paul” I explain how to go about starting a Blog on a topic that you have a passion for but for which you may not be an expert.

A lot of people get stuck trying to pick a Blog topic to Blog about because they have a limiting belief that they have to be an expert on something in order to Blog about it.

How to Manifest What You Want When Things Aren’t Going Your Way

by Leave a Comment

In today’s episode I share a manifesting tip for using the Law of Attraction to help you manifest what you want when things aren’t going your way.

During our trip to Whistler, BC, my wife and I checked into our hotel room to find that the air conditioning unit wasn’t working. Instead of freaking out, or going into victim mode, or starting to go into “what did I do wrong?” or “why am I manifesting this?” mode, I just focused on what we really wanted while keeping my vibration and attitude positive – and because of this we were able to manifest a free upgrade to an even nicer two bedroom suite! 🙂
