Its July 4th – Happy Independence Day! This brings up a lot of topics I’d like to discuss, but I’m going to stick with Business Plans as the topic. Mavis Nong, another great influential blogging leader in the Network Marketing Industry inspired me by recently writing a post about Goal Setting … and she mentioned this one thing that got my attention:

July marks the 2nd half of the year!

Since this is a fact, shouldn’t we go over our business plans and make necessary adjustments. Its almost like a new year if you think of it in terms of July 4th to July 4th. WAIT! I just had an AHA Moment! If you want to think about it that way, then EVERYDAY IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW YEAR! AHA!

Let’s go over some of the things you should be thinking about in your head when your write your business plan down on paper (Curt Bizelli’s List)

• What does my business offer to my fanbase/audience, clients, customers, prospects and investors? Looking over the past 6 months, How well has my business provided these things to these people and How can we improve?
• How do I define my brand and how is that “similar” as well as “different” than how other people (my audience, clients, etc.) define my brand? What do I see my brand being like in 5 years? … and How am I going to get there? Improvements? Adjustments? Fine Tweaking?
• What is my financial status? What are my assets? What are my liabilities? … for more information check out RichDad.com … furthermore, What can I do to improve my financial status? Are there expenses I can eliminate and are there investments and/or opportunities I should jump on?

Of course, there are a lot more questions you could & should ask yourself, but I think this will get you started.

• Poker and Network Marketing – What’s the similarities?

Network Marketing is like a poker game in the fact that you combine two fundamentals.

See, with most there is a controversy over how things should or should not be done in both worlds: Both at the Poker Table and at the MLM Table.

For example (in poker):

One person firmly believes that the game all comes down to mathematical science. They don’t show the least bit of effort in “reading” their opponents or even taking into consideration factors that are outside the scope of “numbers” … These people are scientific, analytical thinkers. There’s a problem with this.

Another person firmly believes that the game all comes down to playing the “people” and not the “cards” thus stating in their strategy that poker is not just a game about science and numbers, that it may be a science but its also a science at “reading” people; about knowing people and taking into consideration factors that are outside the scope of “numbers” … These people have a huge benefit but there’s still a problem with this.

SEE, the truth is being a long time poker player that has shown down over three thousand opponents in multi-table tournaments, I don’t only believe but I know that the fact is: ITS A COMBINATION OF BOTH NUMBERS AND PEOPLE!

How does this relate to Network Marketing?

Well, you have the MentoringForFree aka Success in 10 Steps folk that say network marketing has NOTHING to do with SALES and its all about people rather than numbers. “You should not call a person a number”, they say. Ok, there’s some truth in the matter here but they are a “little off” and “missing something” just like the poker player that leaves out the math behind the play.

First of all, I’ve read Success in 10 Steps and I think its a great book, but there are some flaws in the strategy taught.

1. Network Marketing has A LOT TO DO WITH SALES and telling one that it doesn’t is simply lying to yourself and the person you’re telling it to.

2. Network Marketing, just like any other sales-related business field has A LOT TO DO WITH NUMBERS and telling one that it doesn’t is terribly missing a piece of the puzzle. As PEOPLE MAY NOT BE A NUMBER, the referral “IS” …

So, what can we conclude?
Well poker and network marketing, two of my favorite things have some stuff in common but better yet, neither one of these type of people are “right” … The truth is you need a combination of both people skills and sales skills which involve numbers …
