Finally.. Pillar 5 of the Success Elements

Well here we are again, back with another of the success pillars. Thank you for taking your time to read them. I hope you find them informative and enlightening. We are nearing the end of our journey on this topic.

There are 5 key elements that a home based business can be built on. Let me point out that, these elements are crucial in all industries not just the home-based market. We call them the 5 pillars of success. Of those 5 pillars you are only in control of 2. Plus, there is one other ingredient that you must add to the mix to make it all work. I will tell you about that detail later.

The Pillars are; Timing, Trends, Company, Compensation and Product.

Pillar #5. Product. It's gotta have Pizzaz!

This is the second element that you can control. Remember, there are only two. The first was the Company you choose. The Product you pick, will decide your believe level. Your new found passion and will spell out the amount of success you will have.

In this industry if your product is not remarkable, you are invisible.

Think of yourself as a wholesaler of unique and interesting products that the masses must come to you to get. Would you want to be in a network marketing business selling candy bars or vinyl records? I can walk in to my local convenience shop and buy candy bars. Although it may be a great product it is not very exciting and would be difficult to build a business with.

You need a product people will buy even with no compensation plan. You need a system for your people to retail product to the consumer. Wal-Mart is the world's largest retail corporation. How big would their parking lot need to be if they only sold to their employees? In network marketing you have to retail a product or service to make a profit.

It all comes down to the product. Now I am not here to knock any one else's products.

Success Tip - You must get excited about the product you take. You must have enough passion to tell others about it? Always try the product for yourself before you commit to buying huge quantities of stock for your garage or basement. We used to call that Garage Educated.



"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions." - Alfred, Lord Tennyson


This is a referral business, contrary to what some of the internet marketing companies tell you. In network marketing you get paid by selling a product, either through a downline or retailing, someone has to buy something along the way. When you go to a good movie, you tell people about it. When you go to a good restaurant, you tell people about it. When you take a great product that gives you a result, you are going to tell people about it.

The problem with the old way of network marketing was. No exciting products. That's it! You won't sell what you don't believe in. If you won't take it, why would anyone else? Some of the older companies just kept loading more and more products onto their distributors. None of them were very special and the ones that were special, got lost in the backpages of the web catalogue. FOCUS on what you like.

Here is another key. There must be a product. It is the law. The government has done a very good job of protecting us, but if someone is asking you to join a company where you lay out $100, $200, $400 - $1500.00 and you don't get a product in return for it, run away, it is just not right.

So what is HOT right now? Keep 'em looking and feeling younger. Those old baby-boomers want to die young as late as possible. Products, that will give physical results to the person taking it. It should give energy, pain relief, softer skin, or slows aging. Would you buy products like that? Of course you would.

These are basic principles to be successful. If a business is not easy to do, simple to understand, people won't do it.

Have a Great and Wonderful Day
