			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1045 alignright" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="5 Things" src="http://www.petruse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/5-hand-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" />Before joining a network marketing business there are few things you should consider. In this article I&#8217;m going to break down to you 5 things you should look at and put into consideration before you spend your hard earned money. So let&#8217;s get to it.</p>
<p>5 Things To Consider Before Joining A Network Marketing Business</p>
<p>1. <strong>The Company</strong>: Before joining a network marketing business the first and foremost thing you want to look at is the company. You want to know what this company is all about. Does the company seem legit? Lets face it, there are some bad companies out there. You know, the true pyramid scheme organizations. These are the companies you want to stay clear of.</p>
<p>You also want to know who the leaders are and what is their experience. Not only do you want a leader who is experienced in the MLM industry but in the product as well. Are the leaders qualified to run such a business? Are they loyal and trustworthy? You don&#8217;t want to get yourself in a situation where the leaders are dishonest and/or flaking on the business.</p>
<p>Another important factor to look at before joining a network marketing business is the company&#8217;s debt. Are they in debt? Do they have enough money to assure that they will stay in business? These things are important to consider because you don&#8217;t want to join a company who doesn&#8217;t have enough capital to not only pay their reps but to stay alive in the industry.</p>
<p>2. <strong>The Product</strong>: Why is the product important to consider before joining a network marketing business? Well, to be quite frank, I don&#8217;t think its that relevant. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, yes you want a good product that you can sell to your consumers, but it doesn&#8217;t rank at the top of the list to me. The reason I say this is because a business can do great with a horrible product because ultimately, people buy into you, not your product.</p>
<p>With that being said, yes products may not be at the top of my priority list, but its important enough for you to determine if you want to join a business or not. Look at the product and ask yourself &#8220;Will I use this product if someone offered it to me?&#8221; If you can answer yes then the company should be something for you would possibly consider. If your answer is no, then move on. Don&#8217;t waste your time nor effort on joining.</p>
<p>3. <strong>The Need</strong>: After you know what the product is do you see a need for it? Yes I feel that the product isn&#8217;t that important but at the same time you want to make sure you&#8217;re selling something that is being used. After all, most company&#8217;s comp plans are designed where this is where your residual income come from. You don&#8217;t want a product that no one wants nor need. You want something that is appealing not only for selling purposes but for recruiting purposes as well.</p>
<p>4. <strong>The Compensation Plan</strong>: Binary, Matrix, Uni-level, Stairstep Breakaway, just to name a few may seem like foreign language to most people. And the concept of how you will get paid is sometimes confusing. I mean, we all join these companies for financial freedom right? So why not take the time to study the comp plan before joining a network marketing business.</p>
<p>The reason I say this is because all comp plans aren&#8217;t the same. You don&#8217;t want to be putting in too much of your time into a business that isn&#8217;t going to pay you for your effort. Study the compensation package carefully to see if its worth you joining.</p>
<p>5. <strong>The Timing</strong>: We all hear that timing and positioning is everything. Well this concept most certainly applies to this industry. The fact of the matter is that the most money is made it the beginning stages of the company. Are you the 1,005 person to sign up, or the 1,000,005 person? I don&#8217;t know about you, but I want to make sure I&#8217;m in front of the wave and not behind. So make sure you put the timing into consideration before joining a network marketing business. When did they launch? How long have they been around? This concept also applies to the product.</p>
<p>Before Joining A Network Marketing Business&#8230;</p>
<p>make sure you put all of the following into careful consideration. Make sure you truly evaluate what you&#8217;re about to embark on and make sure its for you. Do it because you want to do it, not because someone is dragging you to do it. Because lets face it, network marketing isn&#8217;t for every one. Most people aren&#8217;t cut out for this hence the fact that 97% of people fail at it. But if you&#8217;re truly a strong person that wants your time back along with financial freedom, then go for it. But first remember the 5 things you should consider before joining a network marketing business</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1023 alignright" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Make Great Facebook Fan Page" src="http://www.petruse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Make-Great-Facebook-Fan-Page.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="292" />Facebook isn&#8217;t just a platform for you to keep in touch with old friends; it is far more powerful than that! As the busiest website in the world, Facebook offers marketing opportunities that you just can&#8217;t get anywhere else. After all, your Facebook fan page could potentially be seen by millions of unique visitors every day!</p>
<p>But what exactly does creating a Facebook fan page do for you? Check out these 4 benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>It helps you develop a relationship with your customers </strong>. Your status updates, shared links, and tagged pictures make you &#8220;one of them&#8221;, instead of a huge corporate entity. With a Facebook fan page, customers get to see beyond the sales pitch.And, Facebook fan pages make it easy for customers to share information. If they like a new picture or a new product that you just posted about, they can tell you all about it. In fact, you can even use the page as an informal space for customer support!</li>
<li><strong>Every update you make is front and center </strong>. When you update your website, you can try to promote it &#8211; or you can simply hope that people will return and check it out. However, with Facebook fan pages, you don&#8217;t have to cross your fingers and wait. After all, any change you make &#8211; like announcing a new service or sharing a new link &#8211; goes right in your fans&#8217; news feeds. That way, your target audience can&#8217;t help but see them! Having that type of front and center visibility means customers will be more likely to think of you the next time they need something.</li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s free and easy </strong>. Creating a Facebook fan page is totally free, and it&#8217;s something that can be done in a couple of minutes. Unlike a traditional website, you don&#8217;t need to pay a professional designer to create it. With just a few clicks and uploads, you are good to go!</li>
<li><strong>It can make you go viral </strong>. When you get your Facebook fan page up and running, the first thing you should do is invite your friends to become fans. They will, inevitably, invite their friends, and so on. Before you know it, a link to your Facebook fan page is swirling all over the place!</li>
</ul>
<p>And, if you publish something really great, like a link to something really creative or an awesome picture that will be sure to have people talking, your fans will likely share it so that all of their friends can see it, meaning that you&#8217;ve just gone viral!  Click on the link below to get a FREE Training about making the best of Facebook to go Viral.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Programmed to Watch Others Develop that Success Mindset</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.petruse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/GotAnIdeaXSmall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-988" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Got An Idea" src="http://www.petruse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/GotAnIdeaXSmall-201x300.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="300" /></a>From the time we are small children, we see &#8220;successful&#8221; people everywhere, and not just on TV and Magazines, but even in our local communities, even in school, do you remember the kids that came top of the class? And how they were worshiped by the teachers? Well these people were programmed with what I like to dub a &#8220;Success Mindset&#8221;, and many would have grown up with this mentality from an early age.</p>
<p>This &#8220;Success Mindset&#8221; is what leads many of these people to go from strength to strength, almost as if they could never fail at anything.</p>
<p>Now, there is nothing wrong with people being successful at what they do, but the problem is that the vast majority of us were programmed to think that we could not have success like them, as if this Success Mindset is something that belongs to an elite.</p>
<p>And what happens as a result? There are many people out there in society who never came near to achieving what they could have achieved in life.</p>
<p><strong>And why?</strong></p>
<p>Because they were taught from an early age that life has to be that way for them, and that they must live according to someone else&#8217;s terms, because they can never be like those &#8220;successful people&#8221;. And the whole matter is rounded off with phrases like &#8220;life&#8217;s tough&#8221;, or &#8220;it&#8217;s a scary world out there&#8221; for those who dare question the status quo.</p>
<p>But it really doesn&#8217;t have to be like that&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Mediocre Mindset to Success Mindset</strong></p>
<p>Now, life is a challenge, and it has its tough moments no matter what choice you make, but why should that be reason enough to settle for mediocrity? After all, the mediocre route looks a lot tougher, more frustrating, with not a lot to show at the end.</p>
<p>So perhaps thinking outside the box, developing that &#8220;Success Mindset&#8221; may not be as tough as once perceived, it has its challenges, but can be achieved with persistence.</p>
<p>The First Step to developing that Success Mindset is to make the decision to go after those long desired goals, then the next stage is to be proactive, figure out how it’s going to be done, educate yourself with the right skills, and make a realistic plan.</p>
<p>And make sure you surround yourself with positive, realistic people who can help you reach your goals, and while there&#8217;s no room for negativity, we have to make sure that we keep our feet on the ground, so some &#8220;healthy pessimism&#8221; is permitted.</p>
<p>Remember, everything takes time and persistence, it never happens overnight. And when you encounter setbacks, be proactive and get good at solving problems, there will be plenty along the way.</p>
<p>Every problem resolved is a step to reprogramming the mind, undoing that Mediocre Mindset that has been ingrained into us, and replacing that with a Success Mindset, step by step.</p>
<p><strong>The Journey towards the Success Mindset</strong></p>
<p>I call it a journey because it takes time to change old thinking habits, and it only happens one stage at a time, but one thing I found was when I succeeded at the first step, I started succeeding at more steps, and I was able to take on more tasks, and achieve satisfactory results in other areas of my life.</p>
<p>But how did this happen? I didn&#8217;t suddenly become more intelligent, nothing magic happened. No, all that happened was my mind had started to program itself towards succeeding, that&#8217;s right, I could see the &#8220;Success Mindset&#8221; emerging in myself, and I was developing more confidence, and as I developed more confidence, my abilities developed, like a snowball effect.</p>
<p>And this reprogramming of the mind is not for some select few, it&#8217;s for anyone who chooses to do something better with their lives.</p>
<p>Changing from the Mediocre Mindset to the Success Mindset is not easy, but in the long run, it is more fulfilling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-942" title="failure" src="http://www.petruse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/failure-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<h2><strong>1. Wrong Expectations</strong></h2>
<p>Many watch a video, read a sales pitch in an email, or see some self proclaimed marketing guru on a late night television infomercial, telling them that in just a few short minutes, with just a &#8216;few clicks of the mouse&#8217;, for only &#8216;a few dollars&#8217; they too can be on their way from &#8216;rags to riches&#8217;. The heart starts pumping, the mind races with thoughts of fast cars and lavish vacations, and before they know it, their credit card is in hand and the promised &#8220;secret formula&#8221; is as good as theirs! But then what? It comes. It looks a lot like something they bought 6 months ago? They follow the directions but soon come to the realization, that there&#8217;s a whole lot more to it than they originally thought. Now the thoughts of &#8220;finally I&#8217;ll be making money from home&#8221; turn to &#8220;not this again, and what&#8217;s my wife going to say?&#8221;The frustration sets in and theirs no one to call to get help. And that &#8220;Money Back Guarantee&#8221;, how does that really work?Within a few days the excitement has turned to frustration and utter discouragement.</p>
<p>The problem: Wrong expectations. Starting, growing, and maintaining a successful Home Based Business of any kind never happens over night and seldom happens, at least to the degree promised, even in a few months. The saying &#8220;Good things come to those who wait&#8221; is applicable here, at least in part. If you work hard, stick with it, and follow a &#8216;proven plan&#8217; (more on that in a minute), chances are you will be successful. Expecting to get rich over night only works in Vegas, and this author is in no way for that method either.</p>
<h2><strong>2. Wrong System or Strategy</strong></h2>
<p>There is definitely no shortage of &#8216;Work From Home&#8221; business or &#8220;Get Rich Quick Secrets&#8221;. I&#8217;ll have to admit, even some of the programs out there that make the most sensational claims of making you quick money work some of the time for some of the people. But the real success comes from taking the time to learn whatever system you choose to go with and then working hard at perfecting it. Learning it well enough to tweak it yourself, not having to rely on someone who isn&#8217;t even there. Having the wrong system or business plan though is a no-win situation no matter how hard you work it.</p>
<h2><strong>3. No Support System</strong></h2>
<p>You can have all your ducks in a row, but if you have no one to turn to when you absolutely need help, forget it! You will fail. The simplest thing can stall your momentum, and the best way to keep things moving in the right direction is to have a knowledgeable resource, preferably someone you can actually talk to, as oppose to chat, tweet, or email. Some programs out there brag about &#8216;live conference call&#8217; support. But who really wants to ask what they might deem a stupid question with thousands of people on the line listening? In this industry, what is really priceless, is having a mentor willing and available to take your call and answer your questions. This asset will launch your business to new heights in record time. And let&#8217;s not forget the extreme importance of the support you&#8217;ll need to succeed that comes from your &#8216;significant other&#8217;! If you succeed at a Home Based Business without the support of your spouse, congratulations, you&#8217;re the first ever! Utilize each others talents, bounce ideas around together, dream together, and soon enough you&#8217;ll get to reap the rewards of hard work together.</p>
<p>Summing it all up: You need to maintain reasonable expectations. It most often takes longer than you&#8217;re told to establish a successful Home Based Business. Don&#8217;t be afraid to dream and have vision for your business, but balance that with a douse of reality every once in a while.</p>
<p>You need the right system. One that is moral and ethical in nature. Ask yourself this: &#8220;Do I want people I know to know what I&#8217;m doing or selling?&#8221; Is it something your proud to be a part of or promoting? Can you sleep at night? Or is the thought of selling 10 cases of vitamins to some poor old lady, just to meet the months quota, knowing she most likely won&#8217;t even live long enough to take them all keeping you awake?</p>
<p>The &#8216;Right System&#8217; should include the following at the least: Good product, good marketing plan that&#8217;s not too difficult to understand, and of course, it must have a good support system (training, trouble-shooting, moral support). Wow. Could there really be something like that out there?</p>
<p>There it is. It took me years to find it, but indeed, good things come to those who wait. If you&#8217;d like to see for yourself that there really is a morally and ethically grounded opportunity out there, that really does have your best interest in mind as they coach you step by step, then visit &#8220;<a href="http://www.johnpetruse.com/conquer" target="_blank">JohnPetruse Conquer</a>&#8220; to see where opportunity and education come together.</p>
