David Baum  I am a 64 year old man from Bushey in Hertfordshire. I have been married to my best friend Melanie for 38 years. We have two sons Philip & Oliver and an amazing daughter in law called Kirsty, who is the mother of our beautiful granddaughter Chloe.  I grew up in a typical North West London Jewish household where food was often used as a bargaining chip. Generally eat up and you'll get a treat (when a young child) and then told to eat up as there are starving children who will be very happy to eat anything. At 9 it was discovered I was overweight and was sent to the dietician at The Royal Free who put me on a 1,600 calorie a day diet and so started my YoYo life as a dieter. Until I was in my mid 40's I would gain and then lose weight trying all types of diets including Slim Fast & Herbal Life, all worked well but the moment I stopped any weight I lost went back on, mind you, it didn't help that I enjoyed cake and chocolates. I did enjoy playing badminton and cycling. Around this time I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, caused in part by the Slimfast/Herbal Life diets. Eventually I knew things had to change as I was "eating" the so called healthy diet of 5 a day plus all the "required" wheat and rice etc. I was fortunate to be introduced to Professor Brostoff, a leading immunologist who recommended I stop following the recognised  "healthy" diet as it wasn't healthy for me and introduced me to the Dukan diet, which was a revelation. I found by becoming gluten free and on a relatively low carb diet my weight improved as did my blood sugars and cholesterol.  However, as with all lifestyle changes after a while I started to introduce other "Gluten Free" foods which meant my weight went up as I had no idea of the hidden carbs.  Life continued until one magical day I was introduced to a keto lifestyle and it was like a light bulb went off in my head. These days I am able to keep up an intense level of exercise including running 10k's, 10 milers, half marathons and in October a full marathon. I find that by following a keto lifestyle I never feel hungry and the selection of foods available is now first class.  The fact that I can do the level of exercise means that I can be featured most days on/in our daily social media posts for The Move For Wellness.

Today I'm joined with Jodie (@jodieseangrant), a London based 24 year old who studied a masters in nutrition at Leeds University.Jodie opens up about her personal journey of disordered eating, how the harmful influences of diet culture lead her to a life consuming addiction to restriction and how social media's unrealistic and unattainable perception of ‘healthy' only fuelled this unavoidable desire to restrict. We also discuss the long and tedious process of having to rewire, relearn and discard of the obsessive mentality towards her body and food, which became so habitual to her.We discuss the unfortunate reality of how D-list ‘celebrities' utilize their huge platforms to promote severe deficits, glorifying unsustainable weight loss, only wanting to shrink their bodied and thus, negatively influencing their audience…. solely for financial gain and a ‘#ad' caption on an overedited Instagram post.Additionally, we rant about the exhausting and somewhat controversial topic of pyramid schemes (Herbal Life & Airbonne specifically), where the focus, again is on profit and revenue…. rather than promoting healthy sustainable lifestyles.

MLM, network marketing and direct sales, which is best for you? People say that the Internet has changed everything! I say that some things never change. For instance, whether you’re selling online or face-to-face; people do business with other people. Your customers are people you are selling to people even if you are using the Internet as the platform. Recently we talked about ways to make money on the side while still keeping your regular job and some of you have asked for examples of how to do this. Apart from getting a part-time job; we keep hearing that there are all these job vacancies that can only be filled by EU recruitment. I’ve mentioned plenty of online money-making ideas, such as Amazon and Ebay, so I wanted to give you a few offline ideas for those of you who prefer more traditional face-to-face sales. Over the last 50 or 60 years one of the most popular ways of earning extra money is to join a network marketing or direct sales company where you sell products and recruit people on a self-employed basis. One of the main advantages of joining such an organisation is that you don’t have to do any of the R&D, product development marketing and set up in order to get started. You can basically sign up and get started. It’s a bit like a franchise where much of the work has been done for you. In general, you have more chance of surviving under a good franchise system than you do starting-up your own business from scratch. There are, of course, disadvantages like the fact that you have no control over the business. I know people have made millions from network marketing. Jim Rohn made his first fortune working in Amway, the largest network marketing company which started in America in the 1950s. But I also know hundreds of people who have made nothing or have lost quite a lot of money. I still remember the look on the face of a restaurant owner in Swiss Cottage, when a lorry turned up to deliver a large consignment of water filters.   So what’s the difference between MLM, network marketing and direct sales? The main difference is that network marketing involves recruiting and building a team whereby you earn commission from your downline. This should not be confused with the illegal pyramid schemes where the sole purpose is to recruit people and get their money from people who then recruit more people to get more money. Direct Sales simply involves selling products for a commission.   Direct selling There are hundreds of companies that sell low-cost products through a network of self-employed agents. Long established companies which come to mind include Betterware and Ann Summers. Ann Summers have been going strong years and have thousands of female agents or “ambassadors” who make part-time living selling their products through party plan systems(similar to the old Tupperware parties). They run a staggering 7.000 parties every week in the UK and Ireland and have made the old-fashioned sleazy sex shops more palatable to the High Street. It has worked very well and the company is very successful. Ann Summers started in 1970 with a shop in the west end of London. It was acquired by Ralph and David Gold (some of you may know him as the joint chairman of West Ham FC) in 1981. David Gold’s daughter Jacqueline Gold, the current Chief Executive, started the party plan concept. I have met Jacqueline on a number of occasions and she is a fascinating lady. The story goes that she was originally introduced to the company on a work experience basis and paid just £45 a week. She says that the experience of working in one of her father’s sex shop was not very pleasant due to the male-dominated atmosphere and the way the shops were perceived at that time. She was invited to attend a Tupperware party and immediately saw the potential of selling sexy lingerie and sexed toys to women in the privacy of their own homes. Her genius idea took off and changed everything for the company. The company now has 144 retail outlets across the UK Ireland, the Channel Islands and Spain. Jacqueline Gold is repeatedly worth £500 million.   Betterware started in east London in the 1920’s and still sells basic hardware and useful gadgets and household goods. Typically, their army of over 7000 agents would distribute a brochure and order form door-to-door in their area and ask customers to leave the brochure with any order form for good they wish to purchase. They then go back on a designated day to collect the forms. Orders are then hand-delivered by the agent who earns a commission.  Years ago, my partner had a Betterware round. She did okay and sold lots of small priced products.   Network Marketing   Network marketing, also called multi-level marketing (MLM) and referral marketing, is a marketing strategy for the sale of products or services through a network of self-employed agents where part of the revenue is distributed to agents and up/downlines through a pyramid-style binary compensation plan. Whilst individual company compensation plans differ, the basic principle is that you can earn money from two sources, one through selling products and to earning commissions based upon the wholesale purchases of distributors you have recruited in your network or downline. In theory, because the company does not have any retail outlets and far fewer staff and overheads than a traditional company, the majority of the profits should be distributed to its agents. Many Vitamins companies such as Herbal Life have made billions off of selling supplements via MLM. A company I have been using sells quality supplements through MLM and are still around after 20 years. I get a discount on the products as an agent but do not actively recruit other agents. One of the early MLM or direct sales companies is Avon, which has been around for donkey's years selling cosmetics through the network of mostly female agents. I personally know many people have made modest but decent living part-time on selling Avon and similar products.   Things to look at if you are going to join a network marketing or direct sales company.   Is the company financially stable? Is the company you’re signing up with financially stable and likely to be around for the longer term? Do your due diligence before parting with your money and getting all your friends involved, as I have seen many companies come and go. I’ve been there in a big hotel room at Heathrow Airport with 2000 people or eager to sign up with a company from America that had a “ground floor” opportunity. Unfortunately for me, most of them never got off the ground and some went bust taking my money with them.   Is it a reputable company and a member of any Direct Sales Association or similar body in your country? Look up the company and find out how long they have been going. Most are private so it is difficult to get any detailed financial information. Other things to look for is the viability of the product range, whether or not they make any wild claims about how much money you can make and whether they require you to purchase large amount of stock or expensive starter kits.   Repeatability of the products Do they sell a product which is ‘repeatable’ and likely to be bought on a regular basis. For instance, if the company selling vitamin supplements or utilities then there’s a good chance that customers will come back to buy more and stay with you for many years.   Does the company have a fair and understandable compensation plan? Make sure you understand the compensation plan, as some can be extremely complex. I found that even existing agents don’t fully understand their plan. Make sure it is not a pseudo-pyramid scheme.    Are the products any good? You can’t make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear, as the saying goes. People are so eager to get rich quick often overlook the actual product and even sign up to schemes it don’t even have a real product. Network marketing companies which have stood the test of time all have a good consumer product range with a reasonably priced entry level. You have to make your own decision based on your research. There are thousands of companies out there selling all kinds of products and services. Find the one that suits you best. You can also sign up as an agent to purchase specialised products for yourself at a discount. Remember, you can only go so far by cutting back and saving money. You have to generate extra income to build wealth, just as a business needs sales and customers. I would add that I am not promoting these schemes and you should take legal and accountancy advice before entering into any business transaction. I’m just giving you information here. However, if you’d like to know more about how you can earn a bit of extra money on the side, please feel free to drop me a line at charles@charleskelly.net.   See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Hey, hey, what's going on, everyone? This is Steve Larsen, and you're listening to another episode of Secret MLM Hacks Radio. Here's the real mystery. How do real MLMers like us who didn't cheat and only bug family members and friends, who want to grow a profitable home business, how do we recruit A players into our downlines and create extra incomes yet still have plenty of time for the rest of our lives? That's the blaring question, and this podcast will give you the answer. My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Secret MLM Hacks Radio.   Hey, guys, this is a bit of a different episode. What I did is I went out and I found a guy who is a honestly spectacular individual. He is rare, meaning, he's gone out and he has made seven figures in traditional business, and then he made another seven figures inside of MLM. What's kind of cool is he's going to go through and teach. I asked him to come on this podcast and teach some of the strategies that he's been using. Does that make sense?   So he's going to go through and he's going to show, number one, some of the strategies that he's been using inside of MLM to grow a downline that honestly it's run like an actual business. He doesn't recruit people personally anymore. All he does is teach his other people how to do that. Does that make sense? He has embraced this idea of duplication. He's embraced this idea of recruiting people the right way without ...   Let's say you are talking to family members and friends. How do you do it in a respectful way? So he's going to go through some of those things with you as well as one of the most powerful recruiting strategies I've ever heard. So anyway, kind of sit back. Relax a little bit with this. It is a little bit of a longer episode, but I think this interview is going to be powerful, and I think it'll be ... This is technically the first interview of this podcast, and I plan to do a whole bunch more. I have in my other show, but, anyway, this'll be a good one, and excited for him. His name is Jon Penkert, and he has actually pulled in through his downline over half a billion in revenue, and he's done this kind of stuff several times.   He knows what he's talking about. So anyways, very, very honored to have him on the show, and let's dive right in. We have a very unique opportunity to hear from honestly one of the most brilliant people I've ever met. I actually only met him probably only a month or two ago, but right off the bat I could tell something was different. I have on the call with me Mr. Jon Penkert, who alone inside of the MLM industry, he's one of the top income earners. He's one of those rare guys that has done both seven figures in regular business but also seven figures in the network marketing business.   One of the things he's taught me is that most people only recruit two and a half, one, two to three people into their MLM business ever, and to say that he's done, which is true, over 500 million in his own downline is absolutely amazing. So anyway, I'm excited to have Mr. Jon Penkert here with me. How are you doing, man?   Hey. Good morning, Steven. Thanks for having me on the call. It's a privilege to be speaking with you.   I'm really excited that you're here. This is a very unique take. Most of the time when you hear the word "MLM," I'm sure you were the exact same, you kind of tend to run the other way. Most people do, anyway, and I know that you've have figured out, though, the way that this whole thing works. But before we jump into that, I actually wanted to ask, how did you get into MLM?   I was an entrepreneur out of college and moved to Southern California. I wanted to take advantage of the business opportunities there and leverage my skills and my degree. When I arrived, in California, it's kind of the mecca for network marketing. I never really heard of MLM, and so a friend of mine invited me to a meeting, and I was very skeptical. It just seemed too good to be true.   Sure.   I couldn't believe all the money they were making, and so I was like, "Man, I got to check this out. And it's funny. You say that people run from MLM. What happened is I started getting involved in network marketing, and then people started running from me.   Exactly.   So I learned very quickly that this MLM business, it's rife with problems, and you end up losing a lot of your friends in the beginning because you don't understand what's required to be successful. You don't understand the key ingredients to network marketing that make successful champions are no different than any other facet of life, whether it's business or music or sports. There's a formula to success, and once you figure that out and you embrace the formula, then guess what? You begin to have the success that you long for.   Did you know what that formula was when you first started?   No. As a matter of fact, I have about 10 years of pain, which means failure. I learned that success is built on the back of failure, and I certainly, I used to tell people, "I'm the biggest loser in network marketing because I tried everything and did it wrong." So I got about 10 years of pain before I figured out, you know what, there's got to be a smarter way to do this.   That's amazing. So when you first joined, though, I guess, what happened? Where was all that kind of failure? Most people don't talk about the failure parts, but I think we can all relate to it.   Well, I don't fail small; I fail big. I joined a company. Back in the '80s people in California were making $30,000 a month in network marketing, and there was a company called Fund America. You can research it. It actually is the case ... all the case law studies. It changed the industry because back then, you paid a lot of money for your membership fees. It was high membership fee to get involved in these clubs, these MLM clubs.   And the federal government shut them down for illegal Ponzi scheme, and so the big boys like Herbal Life and Amway, they all went to school on that, and they changed how they come to a market. So all the case law for network marketing was really centered around that Fund America. You can do the research on the lawsuit. It turned out they came out on the other side nine months later innocent and not being convicted of a Ponzi scheme because it wasn't, but it ruined the business opportunity, and all the downline had dissipated.   So all of us had got involved and began to build saw the rug literally pulled out from under us and what we thought was the biggest opportunity of our life, and we're all going to become millionaires, and the truth is you realize, you know what, if you don't have experienced leaders that have set a foundation to do it right, you're going to get taken out, and there's a lot of examples of that today, but the case law began with that Fund America opportunity that I was knee-deep in and got the rug pulled out from under me.   So you came in while that was all going on, then?   Yeah. Actually I had the misfortune of coming in at the end. I got all my guys in, and we started running right as they closed the doors.   Oh, man. Oh my gosh. So did you pick up and go obviously to somewhere else, then, I'm sure?   Yeah. Then I got into a couple other companies. I tried to travel industry is big in network marketing, and I tried supplements. That's also big in network marketing. The number one product in network marketing is weight loss. We live in a culture that suffers from obesity. And everybody wants the quick fix. So there's a formula to losing weight, but everybody wants to take a pill, often times in network marketing companies begin with weight loss. It's very common.   The problem with weight loss, for those of you who are in weight loss know that 90 to 120 days into the journey, people do one of two things: They lose the weight and get off your product, or they don't lose the weight, and they blame your product. And you lose your residual income oftentimes in weight loss because people don't stay loyal to the product. So weight loss is a tough way to create residual income.   Interesting. I mean, so that is fascinating, then. So did you deliberately steer away from that? I mean, obviously you're asking questions that most people who are brand new in MLM like never ask. Those are an awareness of the economy, and the market, and what's selling and what isn't. It's through the roof. It probably wasn't like that at the beginning, though, I'm sure, was it?   Well, it's not. I mean, when you look at an opportunity, most people get involved in an opportunity because it's based on hype, right? "My really good friend found the product they love, and now I love it, and we're going to get rich together, and we're going to do network marketing." Those are not good reasons to join a network marketing company. Unfortunately, that's how most people get involved in network marketing, and then when they don't make the money, then they're like, "Oh, what happen?"   So there's like five pillars of things that are important in network marketing. For those of your listeners that want to do the ... I was like, "Where do I find out about how to be successful?" Harvard Business Review actually has a study on MLMs and what it takes to be successful. Go read it. Google it and find out here's the key ingredients that you need to be successful in network marketing. It's out there. It's not a secret.   That's fascinating. That's fascinating. So you go into was it Fund America? And they go, and they kind of go under and go through all that big stuff. Then you transfer to another MLM. Were you successful, you'd say, in that one, or were you kind of still learning what it took to be successful with it?   Yeah. Well, I mean, I had I'm a Type A driver, and I'm very successful-oriented, so I'm a guy that I'm going to just try to make it work. And so I've done a lot of network marketing opportunities, but where I had the light bulb moment, the aha moment was when one of my friends, I said, "Hey, get involved in this one. We're making a lot of money, and we're driving the new cars, and we're doing all this stuff." He looked and me and he said, "Jon, you always get the car, but none of the rest of us do," and that was where I went, "Wait a minute."   Powerful.   "It's not about how much money I can make or what I can do. I want to find an opportunity where I can mentor people and help them drive the new car." So that was a paradigm shift in my thought process. I said, "You know what? I have to look for something. There's a word that is abused in network marketing. It's called 'duplicated.' I got news for you guys: Everything duplicates. Success duplicates and so does failure. So if you're using your influence to build your network marketing business, it's not duplicatable and ultimately will fail because your people don't have your influence."   But if you have a system that people can follow to make money, the system will duplicate, and then you have an opportunity in network marketing to create a sustainable residual income. So the system has to duplicate. You can't just use you influence. And that's when the light bulb went off for me. I said, "You know what? It's not good enough for me to be able to do it. I have to enroll people on the journey and will help them actually accomplish their goals."   That's huge. So from that point on, you went for it and just noticed it. I mean, it's got to be a system that's duplicatable rather than you being duplicatable. System-wise what did you go create? What was it that you knew you had to go do?   Well, the first thing that I do when I look at a network marketing company is I say, "Look, I need 90 days to see if the system duplicates," because once you begin ... Most people make the mistake of measuring their success on their sign-up bonuses: "I went out and got a few people to sign up, and they got some people to sign up, and in the first 30 days, I made $3,000." That's not a duplicatable system; that's a sales job. And so the money you make on the front end isn't as important as if I sign you up, Steven. How much money do I make on you four months from now when you're on autoship? That's the key because if I want to residual income, it's not your sign-up bonuses, but it's your monthly autoship that creates an income for me.   Now, if I have a product that doesn't have a monthly autoship component, you can't create residual income. So it's got to be something that you need or want every month. Most people will buy something for a couple of months. But is it sustainable? What does that mean? Is it something that as a consumer six months from now you're still going to buy, because if you're not going to buy it, then I don't have a residual income stream. So I always measure the opportunity not how much money do I make up front, but what kind of residual incomes am I making on an autoship function three, four, five months out? And then I look at the percentages of growth.   If my growth percentage is there, then I've got something, not the paycheck. If you look at your paycheck in the first two or three months of any opportunity and measure the long-term viability, you're making a mistake.   Fascinating. So 90 days to prove the system. Got to have the monthly autoship as a component, so the MLM let me choose. What other components should people look for when they are choosing one?   So there's a saying in business. Remember, I'm a ... One of the things that made me successful in network marketing is realizing that my entrepreneurship business skills in traditional business, they don't translate will to network marketing, and so when you try to bring you skill set from a traditional business model into network marketing, it doesn't work. It doesn't translate-   Like what? What do you mean?   ... until you h- ... Well, entrepreneurship requires a skill set where you have an ability to take risks, and make very quick decisions, and cut your losers fast, and leverage a skill set more than a system. And so you try to bring your skills into network marketing, it doesn't work because why? You're managing a volunteer army. Nobody works for you. It's like a sports team. Everyone's part of the team, and we want to win together, but since no one works for me, I can't hold them accountable. I have to motivate them, which is why network marketing oftentimes leverages self-help, right? Become a better version of yourself. Work on yourself because the stronger self you have, the more people you're going to lead.   Fascinating. So it's all about the motivation, then, for that. I didn't realize ... I mean, I knew that, I mean, MLM is kind of like biz op wrapped around ... with the personal development wrapped around it. But that's a fascinating way to describe that though. I've never thought of it that way.   So, let's look you said, "What's important? What do I look for?" Sports parallels business that parallels network marketing. What am I talking about? Leadership is the number one thing that has the biggest impact on your success. Why is that? Because the rate of the pack is determined by the speed of the leaders, and it doesn't matter if you look at successful sports teams or business or network marketing, you got to have good leadership.   So that's one of the things that I leverage going into an opportunity is are the leaders experienced? Are they just a bunch of guys that found a product that have never run a marketing company? Or are their leaders proficient at the global business model? Because, listen, you guys, today network marketing is the business model of the 21st century. There is no greater. And what you are going to get paid to do is monetize networks that you build globally, not networks locally in a local market, but your ability to sell products and services globally in a global marketplace, which means what? Language conversion, currency conversion, you monetize global networks, you want to be with a leader who's done that before, somebody who's opened up other countries, someone who understands logistically how to deliver products into those countries because you can have the greatest product in the world, but if you don't have a leadership team that can deliver, you're going to end up with a lot of unhappy customers.   So what are you doing to train people below you to become leaders? Because that, like you said, really does seem where all that duplication is even possible.   Leadership, I have my own philosophy on leadership, and in the leadership circles, I've studied leadership, and there's a great argument in leadership, and it's are leaders created or are they born? They go back and forth on that question, and the truth is it's neither. Leaders aren't born. You're not a born leader, and you can't just choose someone and create a leader. I like to look at leadership one of two ways: You're either a cheerleader, which sits at the back of the room and encourages everybody to be the best they can be, and go out there and charge, and go do it; and then there's the servant leader that says, "You know what? I'm going first. I'm going to go, and go across the river, and swim across, and make sure it's not dangerous, and make sure it's attainable. Then I'm going to encourage my people to follow me."   So leaders are neither born nor created; leaders are chosen. And the masses will chose to follow you if you're cutting the path, and doing the right things, and having the success. Success attracts success. So as a leader moves forward quickly, there creates a vacuum that people will follow. So my definition of a leader first and foremost is the visionary who's following the path and setting the right example. And the people will follow.   That is definitely the best definition of leadership I've ever heard, okay, a cheerleader or a servant leader, and you're chosen by others based on you cutting the path and being an example. Wow, that's amazing. So you go out, and you're teaching others to do that obviously, and that's, you know, because you've chosen an MLM with the monthly autoship and you have to develop new skills, you now have the potential for actual residual income. What are you doing to actually find people?   It was fascinating, you told me when I first met you, man, what did you say, the average person recruits only like 2.3 people in their life ever? Is that what the stat was?   Yeah. Well, the industry standard, and, look, these are standards. Jim Rohn is a great leader and champion of network marketing, and you can't beat the system, and the system says the average person is going to recruit 2.5 people in their career. So what network marketing companies try to do is they try to attract the superstars recruiters that are going to recruit 200 people, but just do the math. Eventually if you have a system that requires the average person to recruit more than 2.5 people, for instance, well, you're going to set them up to fail because you can't beat basically the laws in network marketing.   Interesting. So one of the other pieces you taught me just floored me. I mean, I just was blown away by the strategy. Do you mind jumping into it? Now, I actually before was, before I did any marketing, I actually was going into CIT. I was going to be a programmer, and I was learning about these things called binaries, but you dropped that word, and it meant something totally different for the MLM world. Do you mind describing what it is that you were sharing with me?   Well, let's take a step back. The one thing that's consistent in life is change. Change is always going to happen. If you would've come to me 10 years ago and said, "Jon, I got an MLM, and it's a binary. Will you join?" I don't want to join that because an old-school definition of a binary, the way they set them up really hurt people, and so the fairest comp plan was the uni-level. There's matrix, and there's different comp plan styles, and different hybrids, but all of the legacy companies ran a uni-level platform. But the truth is in a uni-level, you got to bring your 20 friends into a room, get them signed up, push them out, and say, "Go get your own 20 friends." That's how I make residual income, but you got to go to work and get a job.   That really catered to the type A drivers who could recruit, but it doesn't help the average person. Why? Because the average person is only going to bring in a couple of people, and now you need a front line of 20. So it begins to unravel. Now, I say that; I made a lot of money in uni-levels, but today the hybrid binaries serve the masses the very best. Why do I say that? Because if you have a system where the average person is going to get 2.5 people recruited, and you have a three-legged system, four-legged system, five-legged system to be successful, you're setting yourself up to fail, but if you have a binary system, which is a two-legged system and you're building a team, and 100% of the people, as the recruiter, that you bring in either go into your left team or your right team, that means each person benefits from not only your ability to recruit, but I've set them up to succeed because their 2.5 people does what? It qualifies them, one left, one right, and now they have a least a half a person overflow into their downline.   So now every person is adding to the success of the system, and the system supports the 2.5 people they're going to get, if that makes sense. I know sometimes when you talk about numbers, people get a little foggy, but that's the reason the binaries today are the best leverage point to create residual income.   So, for example, and just so everyone understands on who's listening as well, my first month of MLM was a classic example of ultimate failure. I did a great job of recruiting people. I literally went down Main Street and I recruited 13 people in that first month, but I spread them so wide. They were out all over the place, and you're saying that's not what I should do, right?   Yeah. Let's look at it: I like analogies in life, and if you take a very large room and you have all of these light bulbs that are lighting the room, the light source defuses the light, and it lights the room. But that's not maximizing the energy. Laser beams maximize the energy, so if you took all the light and you focused it into a small beam, you could cut steal with it.   So when I'm running a team as a leader, I want to maximize their efficiency, so I don't want them focused on 10 legs on their front line. I want them to run this business with maximum leverage. So a two-legged systems does what? It focuses their time and energy in basically two streams. So you're not diffusing your energy; you're focusing your energy, and your teams can run faster.   So you're saying, just in case people don't understand also the lingo or jargon, you said only two-legged, meaning I'm only going to put two people directly below me, right, and then try and do that for the people below them also, right?   Yeah. In a binary system, I sign you up, Steven, and you go get two people, one left, one right. They get two people, one left, one right. Now when you get the third person in the business, it has to go under Team A or Team B. So now what's happened is those people that have joined you in the business opportunity, they take advantage of their upline, your ability to recruit to help them build their residual income. That's powerful. That's what J. Paul Getty said when he said, "Look, I'd rather have 1% of 100 people's energy than 100% of my own." Right.   I want to join a team of leaders that are recruiting because I'm going to bring my two people, and my people are going to bring their two people. But then you've got the overflow, you have an opportunity now to gain the advantage of your upline's recruiting ability, if that makes sense.   Yeah, it really does, actually. That's fascinating. When you were saying that all binaries are not created equally as well, I guess compared to what you just said right there, could you show what a bad binary would look like?   Well, I hesitate to step into that because there's a lot of people that make extraordinary incomes in uni-levels and extraordinary incomes at what I would consider a bad binary. There's good binaries and there's, let's say, better binaries, right?   Sure.   So I look for best in class, and there's a series of things that are qualifiers that will tell me, is this a good deal, or isn't it? You know, honestly, I'm going to step aside for a second, you guys. Look, you don't do this business by yourself, and part of when I lead people, I tell them, "Look, you're a sum total of the five people that most influence you. Who are the five people that surround you?"   My life is no different. I've got very good leaders around me that I consult with, and so when we look at a comp plan, I don't look at it by myself? I get my business partners to pick it apart as well because I'll only see certain deficiencies, but I've got guys that they break it down, and they go, "Look, here's why it'll succeed, and here's why it won't." So I don't just rely on my own ability to analyze. I've got strong partners around me, and each of you should do that. Who are your upline, your upline's leadership, and the downline, the people that you're attracting into your business? You have to surround yourself with strong people, and that's a business acumen issue that's not just MLM; it's good business.   Now, you've completely opened my eyes to more of these; the way you run the business, it's fascinating. Even the fact that you said, "I have a business card. Why don't you have your own business card to hand out to everyone?" You run it really cool, man. It's like so awesome.   I don't have a business card because I want my people to trust me. As a leader, if you lose trust, you lose everything. And so when I go into and speak, I'll speak in front of rooms of 20 people and 2,000 people, but what happens is people come up to me and they say, "Hey, John, I want to join your team. I want to be part of your deal," or, "Do you have a business card so I can contact you?" I'm not there to recruit my people's people. The only way you get ahold of me is really through one of my leaders. So I don't have a business card because I'm not looking to recruit anybody.   The other thing is what I've learned in the business as well is even if I come across a cold prospect on an airplane, if I give them my business card, I have a 100% chance of them never calling me. They just don't follow up. But if I say, "You know what? I don't have a card, but let me get your number, and I'll follow up with you," now I've taken control of the relationship. It's amazing how I always have a chance to follow up with them if I don't give them a business card.   So it's part of a business practice, but it's also a part of my leadership where I don't want people thinking I'm going to cross-recruit their people. I work for them, and when I'm in one of their business meetings, then you can always contact me through them. If they want to give out my phone number, they can, but I really ... That brings up kind of another subject that you ... I'm going to keep rambling here because-   No. I love it. Keep going.   ... what happens is as you build these teams, I've only recruited best effort between 30 and 40 people in any network marketing company I've ever been in because once you start building a team, I start working from my downline, so when I go into your home, I meet your 20 people. Guess what? There's two or three of them that want me to help them build their business, and I meet their 20 people.   So the masses that I've created, I've done one person at a time, partnering with them and building their business. So I don't have to recruit a lot of people personally. All I have to do is be a leader and work with my downline. And the masses will come if you do that.   Yeah, it's great. It's absolutely great, and so if you go out and you have that servant leader attitude obviously that we've been talking about, and ... Anyway, I'm taking huge notes right now, just so you know, and I'm drawing circles around all of the key pieces and putting it together because this is really awesome. I hope all you guys listening are doing that to. I do that for everyone of the people I interview, but this is really, really interesting.   So if I'm brand new in MLM, brand-spanking new, or, say, I just joined a new one, or whatever, what would you think, what are the first key pieces you'd have me do as a new person into an MLM? Let's say it's in the chosen one you like where there's a binary with it, there's autoship. All the pieces are in play. What would my roles be?   I would seek as fast as I can all of who's in my upline and who the leaders are, because the upline leaders are waiting for their phone to ring with their downline because they want to work with them and they want to help build the business. You might as well leverage their experience because I guarantee your two friends that you bring in, they don't know anything more about the company than you do. So the closer you can get to your upline leadership, the better that it is.   I'll tell you what I wish. Here's what I wish I would've done, and for all you guys that are new to the business, I wish when I was out of college I would've gone and looked in ... The DSA today, there's about 20 to 22 legacy companies do over $1 billion. We're in an industry that does $130 billion globally. There's about 20 companies that actually do over $1 billion, but I wish that I would've found a product that I really liked and believed in and then joined the legacy company, for a couple reasons: because then I would've learned the successful tactics and strategies of a network marketing company, and I would've got connected to leaders in the industry because if you think that five years from now somebody's not going to come up with the latest and greatest something and turn it into a network marketing company, you're wrong.   The relationships that you build will sustain you throughout your career. So I wish I would've just gotten involved in really good companies, and learned sound principles, and met amazing leaders because that's what network marketing is about; it's about connecting great leaders. So any of your listeners, go find a good company and get involved with them, not because you ... I hope that you spend the next 20 years with them, but you probably won't because the truth is when you're looking for a good network marketing opportunity, the one thing that I cannot teach or coach you is something called timing.   The timing it in those companies honestly was 20 years ago when they started, right? Now you're not going to create ... It would be a rare person, you know, somebody probably will prove me wrong, but the average person isn't probably going to get in there and create an extraordinary six-figure income become they've had their run. So I want to look for a company that's been around for a couple of years. They've got their groundwork underneath them. They're doing $40 to $50 million a year, and they haven't hit momentum. The key is pre-momentum, and you'll get that in the Harvard Business Study Review when you read it. You want a company pre-momentum so that you're the one that is building the legacy income.   When they do $1 billion, you help them grow from $50 million to $1 billion. So that's what you look for is timing. That's the one thing that you can't teach or coach is to be at the right place at the right time.   That's interesting. Do you have any tips for on how you find a company that's pre-momentum?   Very difficult it's you got to keep your ears open and be connected to a lot of people, which is why I said, you know, if I was ... A great opportunity for even college kids, I think every college kid, the skills that you learn in network marketing will carry you through the rest of your life, and so go out and find a good company that you believe in the product, and get involved, and learn how to create these residual incomes because it's those people that you meet that are going to introduce you to the next big run.   Yeah, and I appreciate it. That's the advice you said if I was brand new. First know the leaders. Know your upline. I never took time to do that my first round at it. Then I joined one seriously just because my buddy was in it. It's the exact opposite of what you just said I should do. Went into that four years ago. Pretty much every entrepreneur I know is out there, whether or not they'll admit it, has been part of an MLM. And it's such an awesome career. It's a great place to go to, but the problem why, the reason obviously why a lot of people have bad taste in their mouth is because some over-eager upline person turned around and badgered their family, and badgered the friends, and honestly hurt some relationships.   So how do you actually recruit, how do you get to getting leads in this industry without actually hurting those relationships. You know what I'm trying to ask? That was poorly worded, but ...   So what happens, oftentimes people get in these network marketing opportunities, they look at it as a get-rich-quick scheme, right, like, "How can I make money off of you and your friends?" Then they get disappointed because that mindset fails them. It's really not the servant leader model. So when I talk to people who have been hurt by network marketing, and we've all been in a marketing company, it didn't work out for lots of reasons. But I always tell them, Zig Ziglar I think said it best. He said, "Give enough people, or create enough people, or create enough opportunity for people and give them what they want, you'll end up getting what you want."   So what I've learned in network marketing, especially if I've dealt with someone with experience, I'll say, "What are the things that your upline didn't do for you?" I teach them to be the upline that they wish they had, and so people resonate with that. They realize, "You know what? If I do the things for my downline that I wish my upline had done for me, I'll create extraordinary success." Again, that's that leadership model of leading by example and not being a cheerleader.   I'm going to get in there and do the hard work with them because together we can do great things, so that's really what I try to get people to focus on when they have bad experiences in network marketing is, "Hey, lets you and I be the leadership team for your downline that you wish you had." So be the upline that you wish you had is my best practice.   I appreciate that answer. I actually very strongly do believe in an element of business karma, and if you go around, and you start trying to help people, and you put out legitimate value out there, it may not happen all at once. There's got to be this mentality of dropping your anchor and not moving forward for awhile. It's not a get-rich-quick thing. But eventually you do get what you'd like, and it'll come and almost be surprising overnight, just kind of show up. That's great.   What people don't realize, that you attract what you put out there, so if you don't like what you're getting, take a step back and look at what you're putting out.   I guess, do you have any last pieces of advice for someone who, let's say they are in one. They like the product. There's not really a whole lot moving along. What should someone be involved in daily, those tasks, those rituals that keep them engaged in the process?   The biggest thing that I can do for each one of your listeners is, you guys, take a deep breath and look in the mirror because the number one quality that drives my business overall is a belief in yourself. You have to believe in yourself. So find a company with integrity, with a great product and a good comp plan, but then look in the mirror and go, "You know what? You are at the right place at the right time. You were chosen for this opportunity," and go get it because I can't stop a person that 100% rock solid belief. They will go out and break every barrier out there if they just believe. As a leader, most often all I do is get people to see that they have everything that they need to succeed. They just have to believe and go do it.   Very enlightening, very fascinating. I appreciate that a lot. Now, you've obviously mentioned you don't have a business card, and you work with the people directly under you. If people wanted to reach out, or learn more about what it is you're doing, or some kind of action follow-up after this podcast, where should people go or what should people do?   Well, Steven, I totally appreciate and respect you, and I'm glad that you invited me to be on your broadcast. This, for me, was really a favor to you. It wasn't an opportunity for me to recruit. I don't think I'm that great anyway, but-   Lies.   ... I think that if you find out who I am and what I'm in, and you want to get involved, I would say embrace a local leader in your local market that's on my team. That's great. I'm not here to recruit people. I'm just here to support, so if they want to reach out to you, you know how to get ahold of me. So let's work it that way.   Sounds good. We'll do it that way. Awesome. Jon, thank you so much. I appreciate that. This has been fantastic.   It's my absolute pleasure, and I look forward to working with you in the future. I'll tell you something: In life, when you get two people, I love the mastermind principle, and you get two people, it creates a third more powerful mind, and you can change the world getting two people committed, and believing in themselves, and moving in the right direction. So I thank you, Steven, for what you bring to the table and your commitment to success.   Hey, thanks for listening. Please remember to subscribe and leave feedback.

Definitely entertaining and very informative, not gonna lie though, your commercials can take forever haha. But I suppose they're a necessary evil. Anyway, I've been working out for a solid 2 years. I have my phases of falling out here and there for a few weeks due to school, but I'm working on getting my shit together and being serious all the time. My biggest problem, as with most people I'm sure, is nutrition. I don't eat bad at all, my problem is that I don't eat nearly enough. I usually eat quite clean but I definitely slack in the eating department. In my first year I put on that beginner muscle and went from 165-180 and I have always been quite lean. However I have not been able to really break 180. I'm a 6'2, high metabolism ectomorph and while weight doesn't necessarily matter, I'd like to put a few more inches of muscle on all around. It seems like 200-210 is the sweet spot I'm aiming for. So, since I've beat around the bush, it's time t o get on with my question, afterall, it's the quotation of the day, the damn statement of the day. How do you recommend going into a bulking diet? More specifically, should I ease into upping my caloric intake or is it okay to go from about 1000 calories or less a day to 3500 calories a day over night? I have read articles online but I'd love to hear your take. Thank you very much for reading my question fellas. I really appreciate hearing a response. Good luck with everything and keep up the great work!  ——————————————— Podcast Topic: 6 Mistakes to avoid when getting ripped for summer  -Not starting your diet early enough -Not having a plan -Not having an exit strategy -Setting unrealistic goals -Not having enough balance -Binging and trying to recover (yo-yo ing)  Head on over to www.newyorkmuscleradio.com/summershredded to sign up!   Ending Ok guys don’t forget to share this episode with all your friends -be sure to check out www.newyorkmuscleradio.com/getjakked    

In this short Episode I express my concerns with Herbal Life, because once again I am being asked to either sell it myself or if I think they should I sell it? C'mon! This is a safe place here, I am a Body Positive, Anti-diet, Health at Every Size activist! Talk to me: Nicola@feustelfit.co.uk

After shredding my body and destroying the gym I acquainted Craig that approached me with a contagious ambition to spread the benefits of physical conditioning. His vehicle of success is Herbal Life that allows him to continue to do what he loves to do, while teaching others the benefits of a healthy physique and keeping his entrepreneurial skills sharp!

  Ever had someone try to sell you Amway, or worse, try to recruit you to sell Amway?  Today we discuss pyramid schemes and how to protect yourself from them. Robert Fitzpatrick joins us to discuss money making schemes.  They pre-date the internet but have exploded in number since the advent of the net.  Find out how to spot and avoid them. There are two main types of these schemes.  One that is presented as a money making opportunity, as a career.  These are multi-level marketing schemes.  The other type is sold as a social opportunity and commonly known as a gifting circle. The three biggest MLM schemes are Amway, Herbal Life and Nu Skin.  Someone recruits you to sell products and get a portion of your sales and you recruit others and get a portion of their sales and the “endless chain” grows.  In a regular sales job there is none of this cultish recruiting.  It’s cut and dry.  You sell product X for $X and make a portion of that price.  In these MLM schemes, you are told the amount you can make is nearly limitless because you get a portion of the money those you recruited make and a portion of the money those they recruited make into infinity. Well, hell.  Making money into infinity sounds great.  What’s the problem?  Well, if you follow the model of you get five people, they get five and so on, you’ll reach a number that is bigger than the world’s population thirteen levels in.  So that’s a problem.  There is a limited number of people available but these scams don’t tell you that. Ask yourself if you could make a living just selling the product, not recruiting.  Have you ever seen anyone selling Herbal Life?  The money comes from enrolling people who then buy the products, they have to buy the products.  The bottom group will always lose out and represent the biggest portion of the entire group. Still not dissuaded?  Herbal Life is currently being investigated by the FTC, FBI, and SEC, all the acronyms!  Companies like this have not been taken down for so long because they have a lot of lawyers, lobbyists, and PR people working for them.  Many people who have been taken in by the scam are too ashamed to report it and so these companies have been unchecked for a long time. A gifting circle works much the same way.  It’s often disguised as a women’s networking group.  It costs $5000 to join and that money goes to the top recruiter.  There aren’t even any products in these stupid things.  You just laid down five grand to sit and the mean girls table, good job dummy. These things have broken up families and ruined marriages.  The person buying in has so much on the line that when someone close to them calls them out, they double down, making the problem worse and sometimes destroying the relationship with the person who pointed out this was a scam.  People have lost their homes because of their complete lack of incredulity. Come on guys.  If you are smart enough not to send your bank details to a Nigerian prince, you’re smart enough to avoid this stuff too.
