Create the Quality of life you want

Welcome! My name is Todd Burrier. Over two decades ago I was blessed to have been laid off in the banking industry during a time of economic upheaval. This led me to search for a way to have more control over my own future. I wound up in the home business world. After seven hard years of lessons and personal growth, I found a way to build a highly successful business from home, using some very basic and simple human principles. I have since been able to mentor many people on the path to a better life through creating a home based income stream. This blog is dedicated to helping anyone in a networking style business succeed. I will be sharing proven concepts for growing and leading a successful business. Anyone who is nice, honest, and committed to succeeding can do what I teach. If there are any topics you specifically would like me to address as we go along, just let me know. To comment on any posting mouse over next to the time of the post.

Employ 8

The thing to do after making your approach calls depends on where you are in the growth cycle of your business. For people in your early stages of growing your business, the next natural place to go is follow-ups. Once you have put new people in your pipeline, now its time to go see where others are in the process.
Remember, that your business is about serving other's needs and not what you want...that comes from the serving part. This can be lost in the process sometimes because it is natural to think about what you want when you call someone. The beauty of doing follow ups after you have spoken to new prospects is that it helps you to be more settled.
There is a natural tendency to have scarcity mentality. This means that if a few people in a row tell you no, you can start to think that "no one is interested" and that there is "no one to talk to"
and all kinds of other limiting and mentally debilitating thoughts. The truth is the opposite. You live in an abundant world. There are over a billion people in the developed nations alone. 300 million in the U.S. and growing everyday. All of them have needs and many of them have needs which you can help with. Your mentality needs to be, that you have more people to talk to than you will ever be able to talk to...it is only a matter of time before you find the right ones!
When you have approached new people first you tend to diminish the scarcity mentality, because you ahve just put some new people in your pipeline. This allows you to have focused enthusiasm when you call AND be okay with whatever someone says!
If you have a larger organization, it is possible that the next thing you do would be touch base with some of your builders briefly to see if they need help with anything. This is not the time for a long conversation (because it is their prime process time also) but a time to see if they need help with anything from a productive right now standpoint. More later...
