My colleague Tom Friedman thinks we're screwed.That's the first thing he told me when recounting his recent trip to China. It's not just because of the trade war that President Trump is escalating right now. Friedman believes the whole Washington consensus on China — that the country is a hostile adversary — is dangerous and based on an outdated understanding of what China now is. He saw how China's manufacturing and technology have advanced so far that in many ways it now surpasses the United States'.In this conversation, Friedman walks me through the advancements he saw in some of the most critical fields of the coming decades — including A.I., E.V.s and clean energy. We discuss why he sees the current consensus as dangerous, what a different path might look like and what the United States should do to develop its domestic manufacturing so that we don't “get steamrolled.”This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“I Just Saw the Future.

I'm back on social media! Let me tell you what God showed me about myself while I was away. It WAS NOT pretty! Lol but God restores! I get a scripture wrong in the episode but I was trying to quite Hebrews 4:12 - pray for my mom brain

This is the coolest way to get more people coming to YOU, than you can handle...   BOOM! What's going on everyone? Today I'm going to teach you how to get paid to prospect.   I joined my first MLM about four years ago. I was recruiting people straight off Main Street. It worked. I got people to join my downline. But it was challenging because I had NO IDEA what to tell them to do afterwards!   To my DISGUST I told them, "Just make a list of your friends and family. Get out there and start talking to people."   I realized I was part of the same BROKEN system.   VISUALIZE YOUR GOALS     When I first joined MLM, I had my pride on the line. I told my now wife, "Babe, this will be the thing. This is what's going to pay for our kid."   We had just found out our first kid was on the way. I was super excited. "This could pay all the bills for the medical costs."   It’s important to visualize your goals. You should see yourself as a winner. The person whose conquered the world!   My first month in MLM, I recruited 13 people - which isn't bad, right?   The average person recruits two to three people in their entire life - EVER!   It was enough to get attention of several people in my upline, "Holy crap who's this guy? That's amazing."   My downline didn't do much because I didn't know how to train them. It was 100% my fault.   This whole recruiting process was embarrassing. It was hard work. People started thinking I was using our relationship to get money. I was becoming that guy for family reunions. I had done well to recruit all these people, but at the expense of my family and friends. I wasn’t willing to keep doing that.     THE IDEA TO ATTRACT PEOPLE   A few months later I had an idea, "What if I could create something that would attract people?"   Something that’s so attractive and enticing that they paid for it. THEN I could take that money and I could dump it into ads. I wouldn't make any money on it AT ALL.   SAY WHAT!?   This strategy would let people vote with their wallets - not their mouths.   It took a lot of time to come up with the perfect product that would attract people. People who were going to be interested in my opportunity.   IT WORKED! People started buying the product. This put a little cash in my pocket which I could dump into ads.   Once people had their hands on the product and saw what I was doing they were like, "Dang. This is the kind of stuff that you do Stephen? Let me join your downline."   WHAT IS PAID PROSPECTING?     Over the course of a year, 350 people bought the product that I created to attract people. It wasn't an MLMs product, I made it. It was an info product. It was one of my first times really creating something.   These 350 people that had a taste of my product were reaching out to me saying, "Dude, whatever you're in, I want in."   I hadn’t even told them about the opportunity yet! People where queueing up and fighting for the change to join my downline.   The concept of creating something that my MLM doesn't own was life changing.   My MLM doesn't own it so I have control over driving traffic to it. Anyone who buys the products is a serious MLM-er. How do I know that? Because they’ve had to take out their credit card to get their hands on it. I don't have to have stupid conversations with people who don’t get MLM. "Is this a pyramid scheme?" and garbage like that. I don't do any of those conversations.   I know it sounds too good to be true. That's why I'm doing this freaking blog post!   This is the kind of stuff that Secret MLM Hacks will teach you to do.   Create something so you get paid to prospect. Get people who are already in MLM to vote with their wallets. Package it so it’s sexy and attractive to those who are already in MLM. They vote with their wallets and put their money where their mouth is.   This is how we've had people recruit several hundreds into their downlines. This stuff works. This is what Secret MLM Hacks teaches you. The secret is Paid Prospecting.   People want to be in your downline. People want to build a real asset. You just need to figure out how to attract people who are predisposed to joining your downline.   Paid Prospecting will change your life and I want to show you how I do it. What we're doing is very cutting edge.   HOW TO PULL OFF PAID PROSPECTING     What if you’re part of an MLM that never wants you to say their name? There's still a way to attract people and recruit them into your downline.   One of the easiest ways to be successful in this game is to build your own business on top of theirs. Technically, you’re selling somebody else's business and product. You're licensing their products. It's like a glorified affiliate.   You don't have any assets. You’re using:   Their product Their script Their duplicated websites.   How are you supposed to be different? It doesn't work that way in other industries. Why do I expect it to work in the MLM industry?   You don't have any assets. AT ALL.   I develop assets in front of the MLM product that are self liquidating. I don't care if I make any money on them. They exist purely to attract people to me. What this does is, it lets me pitch WARM LEADS that should be in my downline. People that should be buying my products.   If your MLM doesn't want you to sell your products online, don't. You might have an awesome weight loss product but you can’t put it online. Not in a funnel or on Facebook ads. I bet you could create something in the front (completely unaffiliated with your MLM) attracts people to you.   Marketing pulls, prospecting pushes.   GET PAID TO PROSPECT     I know some very successful individuals who love getting on the phone with prospects and talking to people face-to-face. That’s great for them.   I don’t want to do that. It’s my worst nightmare!   I had to develop and market my own thing that would attract people to me. I have left MLM’s because they wouldn’t let me do what I do best - MARKETING   I don't care what MLM you're in. If you love it, awesome. If you want to use these marketing strategies, adapt them to suit your MLM.   DISCLAIMER! Every MLM is different. I don't know all the contingencies. I don't know all the compliance statements. I'm not going to act like I ever will. It's up to you to find that out. Make sure that you know what your MLM is okay with and not okay with.   The MLM Master's Pack was created to attract people to me. That's why I give it away for free. It brought the right people to me who wanted to be successful. They were looking for ways to market their MLM. They didn’t need any convincing.   After awhile I started to think, "I wonder if I can increase the speed of this?" I found an MLM that'll let me do whatever I want on the internet. The gloves came off.   Taking advantage of this crazy thing called the INTERNET.   Make these strategies work for your MLM so that you get paid to prospect. One MLM wouldn’t let us initiate the conversation about our product. If people asked, then we could talk about it. We got really good at asking the right questions that got people to ask about the product. Eventually, people are going to start asking, "What do you do?" Now you can talk about it.   If you have constraints, you have a huge advantage. Questions invite revelation.   Story Time:   I was at an event with some friends. They wanted to go buy this program. It WAS NOT cheap. They started trying to figure out, "How do I get a discount on this?”, “Maybe we could split the cost?"   When you ask the question, you get an answer. Questions invite revelation. Why not change the freaking question!?   Why don't you ask the question, "How to I afford the most expensive things in life?" Funny enough, solutions start to show themselves.   That mentality is life changing.   That’s the reason there's no payment plan on Secret MLM Hacks. When you pay $1,000, I know that you’re a problem solving kind of person. A person I want in the course.   PAID PROSPECTING STEP BY STEP   Make sure you know what you CAN and CANNOT do in your MLM Know the kind of people you want in your downline What do those people like, want or need? What is going to attract people to you? Create an offer or product to attract those people   Drive traffic to it   Get people to vote with their wallets Reinvest the money you make into ads to drive more traffic Keep the cycle going and get paid to prospect   That’s really all there is to it. Whatever MLM you’re in, adapt this strategy to fit. You’ll save so much time and absolutely crush it!
