HD Key 6: Create your mlm business tool kit early so that you enjoy life on top of your business and do not get buried in it.
Looking for the right mlm business tool for the right mlm job? Take a look through my tool kit and see what you can utilize. Remember the importance of having systems and tools is so that you do not create yourself a 24/7 home based JOB! If you have not read Michael Gerber’s E-Myth then this may be a great place to start. Michael teaches the importance of implementing systems in your business so that you can work ON your business instead of IN your business. And that is vitally important for MLM / Network Marketing home based businesses also; because the goal is financial FREEDOM isn’t it?
These are the systems and tools I use myself so if you have any questions about anything I mention here, please feel free to
ask me (Re: MLM Business Tool Kit).
Below I have listed my top 10 must haves for my own MLM Business Tool Kit.
1) Success Mindset
Your own mindset (attitude) will make or break your success. I can not imagine how life would be if I had not studied the mind and attitudinal concepts long ago. I have spent many years and a small fortune in the study of personal development (That small fortune continually comes back multiplied). I think of life before self realization as walking around with a sack over my head and not even being aware that my vision and life experience was so blocked. Now you may not want to be as 'all consumed' with success mindset training as I was, but here are one or two key products that will catapult you towards developing a mindset that empowers, excites and deepens your life experiences and success.
Be sure to establish a monthly marketing budget, to promote your MLM opportunity, other than word of mouth. And I learned early that it was a good idea to have a way of FUNDING my marketing budget. Having a 'multiple streams of income' mindset is the key. Affiliate marketing is the doorway.
Skype for Economic Telephony is my #1 most used mlm business tool. - Most local phone companies offer unlimited calling plans. I found companies range from $20-25 per month for unlimited calling. If you call internationally, check for discounts with certain plans (An example would be $2.95 per month and then 11 cents a minute, without the plan, you could pay approx $4 per minute). Another option would be VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) - a lot of people like the free Skype service. Personally, I prefer to use a Skype Unlimited World subscription - With Skype ‘Unlimited World’, you can make calls any time of day, any day of the week to landlines in 34 countries worldwide without the need for a long term contract. All subscriptions contain online numbers that let your friends, family or business contacts reach you directly on Skype.

Oh dear… BE VERY CAREFUL if you must opt for the quick fix and you decide to buy leads. I've run some test marketing campaigns to many different lead supply sources and have had dismal results.

Here is the supplier I've had the best results with.
