I have been thinking of statistics of WOMEN in NETWORK MARKETING and recently came upon a blog from Mark Januszewski, aka Mark J. or the “Worlds Laziest Networker”, (http://worldslaziestnetworker.com) that I’d like to share parts of. Please feel free to share this blog as well as contact us. We’d love to hear your thoughts and insights. In quotations you’ll see Mark’s comments….with MY comments in blue. By the way, we met Mark J. through his incredible “Go 90 Grow” online course for network marketers several years ago.
(As you’ll see….Network Marketing IS in a WOMEN’s DNA!)
IT’S A PROBLEM
“For some reason guys and MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) companies just don’t get it.
83% of the checks in MLM are cashed by women, according to the DSA.
83%!! (OK so this visual to the left says 82% of women in the US who make $100,000 or more did it through this industry!)
Do guys feel intimidated? Threatened?
You see it with companies all the time…the “Founders” are introduced and with rare exception, four or five guys roll out on stage. (Have you been with a company where this happens on stage? I certainly have!)
The audience goes nuts. I remember sitting there thinking, really, how stupid can we be as a group?
83%!
The world is the same way…since men “took over” in the dark ages….which I could argue we are still in.
Prior to that women were revered above men….and any networker who thinks -instead of copies- figures this out quickly.
See, for 1000s of years, it was “mother earth” …the giver of life…men were the protectors and women were the foundation of life.
And isn’t that what you’re trying to do with your business?
Who is better at growing things than the primary caretaker?
Until some do-gooder group with nothing better to do got laws passed, [don’t ask me why], MLM applications had ‘Occupation” on the application.
# 1 success group? Teachers
# 2 success group? Moms
Let’s face it, between teachers and Moms…. and that’s a lot of women!
MLM is a teaching business and Moms are in the business of teaching their kids life skills on a daily basis.
And they are better at it than men. Period. [don’t sweat this; if I learned how, so can you. HINT: watch the women teach]
How can your new teammates successfully do what needs to be done if they don’t know how?
Differences between Men and Women in this industry! Notice how we differ in communication.
GUYS: This is going to be huge! Go talk to people so you don’t miss out!
GALS: Here’s what we need to do to get you started. [notice the word that is inclusive, “we”]
GUYS: Motivational speeches – do all guys think they are Napoleon Hill or Tony Robbins? LMAO
GALS: Hands on support, simple “show and tell”….just like they do with their kids. I’ll stop here, it’s an endless list….let me get to the meat of the discussion.
DEPTH BUILDS DEPTH
Women have intuitively deeper feelings, more depth…..while guys deny their feelings….. and everybody knows it’s a burning desire that forges authentic commitment, not predictions about the future.
So I always, given the choice, recruited and promoted women into key roles…women crushed the role, guys did not.
And then….just when I thought I had done enough to carry this so simple truth to the MLM community, I was taught yet another priceless lesson…by a woman, of course.
I promise the “Secret” Hill writes about….the key that has opened a life second to none….is stated over and over and over….many ways in this dynamic woman.
Here’s a second promise; until you get that key, no tools, speeches, efforts or seminars will make a difference.
So…yeah, I’m challenging you to view this interview below as many times as it takes….it’s right there, what you are seeking is easily spelled out.
25 minutes will change the lives of the open-minded…..while surfing the web for the magic solution to your business will keep your life the same.
Meet Kimmy Everett Brooke, a woman who Dave and I have actually worked with in the past. Hear what she has to share in her interview with Mark J. I agree with Mark, it really is worth the 25 minutes to view. (OK 27:02 to be exact) Enjoy.
Mark concludes with: It all begins with a burning desire. Feelings are what add the “burn” and without the burn fighting discouragement and small minds becomes the job.
With the burn? Game over. Burn baby, burn.”
(Thanks Mark, for this blog and interview posted several years ago!”) http://worldslaziestnetworker.com)
So here is my question to anyone reading this.
What is YOUR burning desire to create in this lifetime? What drives you? If you have never imagined yourself involved in Network Marketing would you be open to taking a look?
If you are already in the industry are you interested in taking a look with what we are doing/creating? We have everything in place to help the ‘newbie’ as well as the seasoned network marketer enjoy success.
