Leaders Read and Readers Lead - in Marketing, Business and in Life

"Yet, if I could give you a recommendation
as to finding a good organization to help you
get over to the right side of the Quadrant, the
key is not so much the product but the education
the organization offers."
- Robert Kiyosaki The CashFlow Quadrant

The truth is learning is the key to success, and I don't necessarily mean higher education. A self-directed learner – one highly motivated to learn - will often learn far more than someone just taken college classes to get the piece of paper. I know because I went through years of college earning a M.S. Degree but learned far more valuable lessons in network marketing than all the years of college courses.

“Leaders Read and Readers Lead” is so true. A leader is continually learning and growing or he is left behind - especially in the fast-paced, quickly changing Internet world of the 21st century.

Which is one of the reasons that BookWise caught my attention about a year ago. I love books and am an avid reader – particularly of business, self-development and inspirational books. At the time I thought it was a great concept for a business.... but dismissed it because I felt they didn't have enough selection of books at that point - and they were only just starting. I know from being in the industry for over 7 years, the growing pains a new company can go through and the high failure rate in the early stages. So I just put it on the back burner and went on building my other businesses.

Recently though, BookWise was brought to my attention again and I was informed that they had recently partnered with Baker and Taylor, the world's largest distributor of Entertainment, and are rapidly expanding the bookstores. So...I took another look and was impressed with what they have to offer.


Low Start-up cost - affordable to the average person, even
those on a limited budget
Product of value that people don't need to be 'sold' on
Continual tax education from renown tax expert Ronald Meuller
Website and Marketing tools included
Educational Resources in the virtual office for continual
learning
Generous Compensation plan
Portion of profits go to worthwhile children's charities
...and more


Plus BookWise has an impressive group of founders and leaders. Just to name two –

Richard Paul Evans - winner of the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award at age 31 and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of “The 5 Lessons A Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth”

Robert G. Allen – well-known financial advisor and bestselling author of: Multiple Streams of Income, One Minute Millionaire, and other best-sellers



For the educational value alone, BookWise would be a good additional resource to anyone in a business or wanting to start a business. So if you are looking for a business you may want to look at BookWise and.....

If you are already in a business, you may want to take a took at BookWise too - for its educational value and as a secondary income stream.

I have learned the hard way the importance of not having 'all your eggs in one basket' and strongly believe the best way to be truly independent in network marketing and direct sales is to develop multiple income streams.

For those who are serious about building a strong residual income and financial independence, our team has the training and resources to learn how to be a professional, independent marketer.

One important thing to note - on the Winning in the Margins
video at the end, Richard mentions face-to-face marketing. If
you LIKE face-to-face marketing, by all means you can build
that way, but if you are wanting to market online, rest
assured that we have the knowledge and resources to help you
buid a successful internet business too.

InterNETwork Marketing: Putting the NET into Network Marketing

If you missed the webinars with Ann Sieg and Ken Envoy a couple weeks ago you missed two information-packed sessions on how to put the NET into your Network Marketing business - but the good news is that is was recorded!

.....and I have included the links below, including the details on the InterNETmarketing Championship contest with over $20,000 prizes.

What is exciting to me about this information, is that it will help people move out of the "Dark Ages" of network marketing and become successful entrepreneurs. Having been in the industry for almost 7 years, I have seen first-hand ineffective marketing methods being taught, and the frustration is causes.

Having worked with Ann Sieg for a number of years now, both cross-line to her in the past and now as her sponsor in two network marketing companies, I have seen the passion she has for helping people to be successful and the impact she has already made.

Ken and Ann covered a wide range of topics in these two information-packed webinars, but one of the most important concepts discussed is "pre-selling". The people who make the most money online and the marketers who have the highest conversion rates are people who understand this concept very well. Ken said it was the biggest difference he saw between people with 0% converting websites and 20% converting websites.

As Ann said, "The frame in which someone views a message has more of an impact on their decision than the message itself." In other words, the biggest factor in whether or not your prospect says yes to your offer is NOT the actual message itself (a sales letter or a phone call for example)... it's all the things that that person saw, heard or read leading up TO that message.

By positioning yourself as a 'solution provider' you are able to do just that -and the Renegade System & SiteBuidIt! together are a powerful combination that will teach you how to do this very well!

In fact, that is one of the reasons I recently purchased a SiteBuildIt site, even though I already have three website up, with one up for years getting a nice amount of traffic and generating a healthy amount of leads and business. I saw downline members with no website building experience at all putting up websites and - this is most important....getting traffic to their site and generating business!

Anyone can put up a website these days fairly easily. There are simple website tools out there, replicating sites companies provide, and more. The problem is... having a website does you no good if no one is finding you!

How I learned to build a website and generate business is not very duplicatable since there is a huge learning curve involved. SiteBuildIt and the Renegade system gives the average person the tools and information they need to be successful enterpreneurs and teaches how to be truly
independent....instead of being dependent on the whims of a network marketing company's decision-makers.

To have true financial independence you need to have multiple streams of income and the Renegade-SBI combination will show you how. And once you understand it, this information could be used for any type of online business.

Now the best part is that until Dec. 25th, SiteBuildIt has a special offer - Buy one site, get another free! You and a friend can go in on this offer and get your site at half-price, you can buy a site and give one away as a gift, or buy your site and keep the 2nd site for yourself for later.

In addition, there is a special InterNETwork marketing championship. The financial incentives are very nice...

First place - $10,000
Second place - $5,000
Third place - $2,500
Most creative award - $2,500

but more important is that as a participant, we're going to personally take you by the hand and walk you through every single step of how to setup your own marketing system that churns out pre-qualified and pre-motivated prospects. Read through for the details and Ann's free coaching offer.
