Another success story on our team!!! It’s a real pleasure to work with Canada Native and Network Marketing PRO Marcus Cox.

Marcus has a passion for life that has taken him to extraordinary places and to many great successes—despite leaving high school at the age of 16.

From skiing to yoga and eventually settling in Silicon Valley as a software engineer for 25 years, this accomplished leader has lived an adventurous and inspiring life.

It wasn’t until his success at IBM that he stumbled across Network Marketing by shear accident. From the start he was hooked and went on to become a top income earner of more than one Network Marketing company with thousands in his organizations!

With his “don’t quit” attitude and more than 35 lbs slimmer (…thanks to our company’s “Secret Sauce”), this self-proclaimed “Computer Geek” has a passion for being active, the outdoors and celebrating life with his family and grand-kids. A true example that no matter where you start in life you can always end up on top if you dream big and never give up.

You definitely do not want to miss this call!

The typical MLM training is killing your business. Personal development is fundamental but it goes hand-in-hand with doing the proper things that bring results. And that’s where most people fail…

On November 11th I was hanging out with Tim Sales at his house in Park City…

A casting crew came in to shoot a video of Tim and his family.

I was watching the whole scene, taking pictures, sneaking behind the camera guy. I was axious to see the end product. Well… you will see it down here… but what’s most important for you is the message Tim is trying to communicate to you and the lack of success of most networkers. This could change your life forever like it did mine.

In my early days of building an organization, I’ve had my share of struggles. From inviting family members to an opportunity meeting, to harrassing strangers on street corners, to passing out flyers at the mall, to approaching sick patients at the doctor’s office, to buying leads and calling at all hours of the night, to building websites and doing social media. I couldn’t stand it when my friends would ask me how my “lucrative home-based business was doing”. I flew to seminars and workshops all over the country always thinking this time would be different.

While I was listening to Tim’s interview, I captured something that is not mentioned in this video… He said he had enough of this parade of people getting on the stage and saying “If I can do it, you can do it too!” He said the training has always been geared towards motivation.

You see, Tim has built an organization around the world and personally trained hundreds of thousands of distributors from many different companies, and after retiring for 13 years from building his own organization, he’s now back in the game.

He told me “Stephane, I never really felt so alive in the last 13 years. Now that I’m back building again, I don’t know why I had left for so long.”

After my initial 11 years of trials and errors, I decided to contact Tim and “recruit him as my sponsor”. From that day, everything began to change.

I can tell you from personal experience, Tim Sales train his team thoroughly. That’s the only way you can truly help your people succeed.

Tim used to be on the Navy bomb squad. He learned his best lessons in life through that experience. If he did not do the job properly, the consequences could be catastrophic. In network marketing things are not as drastic but if you don’t do your job properly, you are jeopardizing your business.

By providing the right training, the growth of your business becomes predictable. You can spot the next leader on your team and who needs more assistance to move to the next level.

I’ve had many mentors in the business and none provided me the kind of support and hands-on training to move towards my goals. I often times felt confused, not understanding why I seemd to be doing the right things but my commission check didn’t match with my efforts. But training and coaching helped me identify where my weaknesses were, correct them and achieve my goals.

It’s time consuming to train, but that’s the only way you create true leaders. Tim Sales will tell you that the best MLM training is designed to make you effective, not just designed to motivate you, after all “being effective at creating the results you want is what motivates you”.

As we try to achieve higher things in life and find mlm success, people around us will most likely try to keep us to their level. People don’t accept change easily.

The answer to that is to keep on going. Don’t spend time with people like that.

Start to spend time with people who realize that most of the things you try will not work the first time.

But the most important thing is that you launch. And that you keep moving, you keep learning, you keep getting experiences. And you constantly improve as you get new information.

So you have to deal with people who recognize this is the way the world works.

People say “Well I tried and it didn’t work”. Well how many times did you try? “Well I tried it once.” Hey!!! You gotta try 10 or 20 times!

MLM success stories are looked at as heroes. Are they really? Or are they just following on the same path you are? What if you knew you are one stage away from total success? From reaching all of your dreams, living the lifestyle and having all the money to do the things that are important in your life?

Last year I learned a valuable lesson in my network marketing career as I learned to surf behind a boat. But before I tell you about my experience, let me tell you where I got my understanding of the learning process. It comes from the “ Conscious Competence ” learning model.

It is not clear who originated the very first ‘conscious competence’ learning model. Various modern authors are named, but sources as old as Confucius and Socrates are cited as possible earliest originators. But the model clearly explains the 4 stages you go through in your business. Not understanding these stages is the fundamental reason for the failure of a lot of training and teaching in the network marketing industry.

Now back to my surfing experience…

Each summer I would go on the lake and watch people surf and do wakeboarding. It looked so easy. I was at the ‘Unconsciously Incompetent ‘ stage (this is the fantasy stage – ‘Oh, I can do this, I’ve done snowboarding, surfing doesn’t look too hard’).

Next thing you know, my brother calls me and says “Stephane, come over I just bought a surf, let’s go try it.” That second stage is called ‘Consciously Incompetent ,’ (This is the reality stage: ‘Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into – this is so much harder than I thought.’).
