When I first turned around, I can assure you that network marketing success wasn’t even in my brain cells. My first somersault was from a high dive at the Wilson, NC Recreation Center. Never forget the feeling of fear of goosebumps along with the daring and not-so-liked nature of a six-year-old. My goal: a backflip. Result: a slap in the belly when I hit the water after a not-quite-complete turn, and a chlorine-filled nose shot. That is not the investment principle I am referring to today.

Network marketing success may very well depend on your ability to turn around. Here you are… part of an industry that has the power to radically transform the lives of others. Now you are part of the solution to the economic crisis. You are in a winning industry. But you have to know how to flip.

Google the words economic recovery and you get 3,890,000 results full of words like loss, risk, recession, bank bailouts… you get the picture. Google Network Marketing and you get 130,000,000 visits. People are hungry for good news.

Don’t turn on the TV if you’re looking for good news. I can tell you with 100 percent confidence… it’s BAD (as the opposite of good). As one Senate candidate put it: “We have three financial scenarios in America today. Scary, scariest and apocalyptic.”

It is true that the news surrounding network marketing is not always positive; however, the balance is in their favor, for those in legitimate businesses.

What do we mean by FLIP? In this article, when we refer to flip, we mean:

FLIP… Focus on the hopeful side of difficult and sometimes painful circumstances.

Here is an example. What do most people think about when they have to go to the dentist or orthodontist? Most equate it with PAIN. Fear. Expensive procedures. Our friend Taylor Clark, who is excited to be at the

Dental industry…is able to FLIP. He recently stated: “I can change someone’s life today with a porcelain cosmetic makeover.”

I TURN… Be willing to TAKE THE LEAD to help yourself AND others Consider Mary Kay Ash. Mary Kay® products are sold in more than 35 markets around the world, and the company’s global independent sales force exceeds 2 million.

Mary Kay was asked many times, ‘How did you do it?’ The answer:

“ME he was middle-aged, had varicose veins, and had no time to mess around. He wasn’t that interested in the dollars and cents part of the business. My interest in founding Mary Kay Inc. was to offer women opportunities that did not exist anywhere else.”

FLIP… Be willing to do today what most people won’t do so you can have tomorrow what most people can’t.

FLIP… Ability to eliminate toxic “unbelief” in yourself AND inspire others to see beyond their “unbelief”. “Men often become what they think they are. If I think I can’t do something, it makes me unable to do it. But when I think I can, then I gain the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it to begin with.”Mahatma Gandhi

TURN FOR A MOMENT…

Have you considered that your network marketing opportunity has the power to transform lives?

• Layoffs and downsizing or outsourcing Not in network marketing.
• Lack of growing income or opportunities to advance? Not in network marketing. You can have a pay raise any time you want; it becomes effective as soon as it does.
• Horrible work environment or business partners? In network marketing, you control this.
• Concerns about retirement or future income? Once again, network marketing wins hands down.

You, as a network sales consultant, can make a proclamation to the world, changing them from “Oh no… Network Marketing… to “WOW!… I see what this can do. Not everyone will freak out with you. Many will watch critically from the sidelines. It’s okay.

However, you have to be a stellar example of the “Flip” before people want to follow you. You must believe in your network marketing company and in yourself. Then, and only then, will others beg you to teach them the “Flip” principle!

FLIP… A principle that, if followed and practiced, will make the world rejoice that you were born for such a time as this!

While looking for network marketing success; In the words of our friend Emil Turner: “We expect it to rain yearling bulls and hay to feed them.”
