Anyway, here’s the video of day 25 of my challenge, enjoy!

It’s really great advice, because I’m sure all of us are prone to one, two, or all three of these at some time in our online network marketing career.

I was reminded of this little saying recently when I was getting ready to speak at a Saturday training event for a network marketing company in Salt Lake City. As I was waiting for my turn to present, sitting in the back of the room, I watched as this peacock, excuse me, this guy, walked to the front of the room. I say peacock because of his gaudy clothes. To help you get the visual, his overly colorful french cuff shirt was carefully pulled up to expose his “in your face” rolex. Not that I’m against nice clothes or watches, but it was unsubtle way of flaunting it that turned my stomach.

It was obvious from the start that he wasn’t well prepared. He talked like a Jim Rohn wannabe, giving a few well worn personal development stories, quotes, etc, then ended with a half hour version of the turkey story. You know, the one where one turkey teaches all the others how to fly, they have a great day of flying, then all walk home. I just told it in a sentence, he took 30 minutes. It was hard to watch.

The point being, this guy, who was obviously talented enough to make some good cash, was cocky. It ruined the whole presentation. As I looked around the room, I could sense the separation between him and his audience. They didn’t connect with him. He just came across as too cocky, he talked and acted like he was better than them.

On the needy side, I remember well when I started learning online network marketing. I signed up for a course that included a training back office along with weekly live coaching. I remember scrolling through the back office, and feeling totally overwhelmed. I had no idea how to do anything, I just wanted somebody to help me.

So I finally got some live time with one of the trainers, and I really thought they could help me. He asked me a few questions, I answered the best I could, and he then told me exactly which videos to watch and articles to read in the back office. I was ticked! I wanted HIM to help me! Ha ha! I look back now and feel like a moron.

He WAS helping me! It was exactly what I needed. But did I do it? No! I somehow thought that it would be better if he just… I don’t know, did it for me or something. I don’t know what I wanted. All I know is that when he pointed me in the right direction, by myself, I didn’t do it.

The reason was simple: I was needy. It took me many more months to develop the intestinal fortitude to become a student, and stop looking for others to do stuff for me.

On the greedy side, I think the main challenge we have is greed turning to impatience. We don’t give our efforts time to compound. We pull the plug too early. We want money, and we want it NOW, darnit! But online network marketing doesn’t work that way. Well, unfortunately it does for a few people, so we hope it will work as well, and as quickly for us. But it usually doesn’t. And those people that rocket to the top rarely tell the “story behind the story.”

So take it for what it’s worth, but these three words, Cocky, Needy, and Greedy are online network marketing killers. Stay humble, be a student, and be patient, and you’ll conquer these monsters and have great success.

To your success!

Twitter Tools: Keyword Digest

In this case, I’m interested in what our affiliates are saying about the Edge Marketing System, and one of the affiliate links is edgetrial.com. So with the keyword digest, I get automatic up-dates, and can use what others are doing for inspiration for my own promotions, and vice versa.

So register with Social Oomph, and set up the keyword digest, and enter whatever keywords your little heart desires (your name would be a good one to have in there and voila! You’ll always know what’s going on int he twittersphere for that word!

To (Anonymous),

There are tons of competitors and always will be but, I have never seen one that delivers the results we are.

If you talk to some online marketers and really figure this out you will realize the system and training in the Edge Marketing System is the best value online period.

I have not seen any of our competitors show any real life examples of people doing great with their system and proving it with Alexa rankings, page rankings, seo etc… Let me show you one example: (URL hidden to protect the innocent!) this is a friend of mine, he paid over 5k for his blog and $500 a month for seo, he has had this up for over a year his Alexa Ranking is 815,000 and he thinks that is the best deal ever.

Now check out one of the Edge Marketers:

http://robertsecrest.com/

Bob is over 65 and had never done anything on the internet besides surf online and send emails, yet his Alexa is around 300,000 and he is generating sign ups from free traffic, David on the other hand considers himself a professional internet marketer and is generating basically no traffic on the blog he has spent well over 10k when you include the $500 a month he has paid for over a year.

I could show you 20-30 examples just like Bob’s, I just showed his because he is not a full time network marketer and never has been. Not only is he saving thousands a year but he is getting way better results in only months. I talk to people almost everyday that have spent thousands on internet marketing systems and programs and not one of them has been able to show me the results Dave has showed on his blog or what Dave teaches other Edge Marketers.

(Competitive System) could be a great company and great tools but I know our stuff works and is worth way more than the $50 per month. I have asked several people and no one has heard of them so I can not tell from experience how good there system is.  All I can tell you is we are bringing in huge leaders that are very excited about what we have and better than that they are bringing in people that are bringing in people.

Also if you have not checked it out yet go to www.30minutesaday.biz this is just one example of the real life training we are making available to our members.  There is a new 30 minute training video every day of exactly how you can use the Edge Marketing system to build your business in your spare time.  This training alone is worth a lot of money and you will be seeing a lot of stuff like this in the near future.  Even after looking through the (competitor) system I still think Edge is the best $50 anyone could ever spend to market their business.

end of quote.

Great stuff!

The fact is, I think that as you watch the simple, routine tasks and activities I do every day, you’ll realize that you can also create a six figure income online. And hey, what if by the end of the year you’re only making an extra 40 or 50 grand? Check it out!

But sometimes, you just want the stupid fish instantly and effortlessly (I’m sure we all have a lazy side!)

So I’m very excited to introduce you to the Edge Marketing System, where we just hand you the fish. (prospects, that is, 100 every single week, guaranteed.)
