Boy its warm.
Third and final post for today. While I'm sitting in the garden this evening.
My new business cards came today that I ordered, now normally the cards that a lot of distributors order, are pig shaped cards.
But what I'm now finding in the business is they are becoming common, so some people I will give a card, and they will say "oh how cute."
But one guy I actually have a card to today actually said "oh not another one of these." And instantly discarded it, did he mean business cards in general I wonder?
Tomorrow is very exciting its a team huddle in newton aycliffe with a very special guest. A good friend of mine aswell called maureen, she is a senior group leader in her own right. And she is coming over to share some hints and tips, with all of us to help is with our business.
So I'm off to bake a pineapple upside down cake like I promised.
And will be sure to post about it on my return, ok this is deffo my last post for today.
If you can't help those closest to you, who can you help.
As you already know I started to update my list, the top of it was my brother. One of the things that I was told is don't exclude anyone, it doesn't matter what they think of you.
So right at the top of my list was my brother who I speak to from time to time.
So I picked up the phone to call him, and found that he was going through a bit of a bad time. With no job and a one in the future becoming unlikely.
I mentioned the business before to him but he just shrugged it off, saying that it was not really for him.
The interesting thing was he said the only thing he could think of.doing was a job where he had to speak to people. And that he felt more than comfortable doing it.
So I mentioned the opportunity again to him but this time I felt that he really listened to what I was saying.
I told him where I predicted where my business was taking me, the fun that I was having the people I was meeting, and how slowly slowly it was making a change in my life.
So he started to ask some questions and the more answers I gave him the more interested he became. So he has decided to move over here close by, and join with the company and build his own business. This makes me happy for a number of reasons, I feel that I have someone close by to work with. I'm helping my brother get his life back on track. And we are both going to be on the road to success. So I guess the moral to this is where you identify situations to generally help people, and your sincere and trusted, you will find the answers your looking for.

Career opportunity presentations
Does your network marketing do Career opportunity presentations, this would be a local monthly meeting where you can take someone along to see the opportunity for themselves. I went to my local one last night, I confess that I havent been to one in a while.
But it was worth every minute for the little nuggets of information, that I get from them. And also it rekindles your fire and desire to carry on with the business.
I was fortunate enough to be in a small class with one of the top earners in the company, who was more than happy to give us some information on how he built his business.
He has over 20000 group customers and climbing, yet if you met him he would not boast or brag about it, infact he is very humble and has a genuine attitude towards helping others.
All the information he gave my head never lifted up from my notebook, as there was so much information he had to give about where to find people, who may want to earn a extra income or become customers.
What I learned is that list building in this business is key, your list is your business plan. And with no list you have no business, it is the key thing that your business revolves around.
Not just for your business but when you introduce people into your business, you will want them to duplicate what you do. So I am glad that I have a list which is in a hard back book that I can count on. But the interesting and brilliant thing that I found out last night, is that there is no limit to the list.
Its people who know people, and I learned a way to do this. Please find a short example below.
Lets take the name Ted for example, lets call him Ted Imaginary.
Ted Imaginary,
Who are his parents?
Phil and Sue Imaginary,
Where does Ted Work?
Imaginarium elementry school.
Who Else works there that you know.
Mary Jones.
What sport does Ted Play
Tennis
Who does he play with?
Phil Smith.
Now from that one name you had on your list, you more than trebled the amount of names from that one person. Now how many names do you have on that list there are other questions you can ask like, who else has the same surname as Ted? Or what charity does Ten support? Who do you know that supports the same charity? Who is his Brother? Who is his sister? Do you see readers your list is endless and therefore we can update it every day with new names of people. So if you have read this post and you have time do this one thing and do it now go out there, get a hard back book and start to make a list of everyone you know I bet using these techniques and methods you will fill pages before you know it.
Have a great weekend.

To steam clean or rather not you end up black, and I got a coldsore coming on.
Hello Readers,
I've done my prospecting for today, I have added on my list of things I want a cleaner.
After doing my prospecting I got home and steam cleaned the kitchen. I am now covered in filth with an aching back.
Which got me thinking, if I am to build the ultimate lifestyle, I need to live it so I need to work harder, because I just decided to hire a cleaner as soon as possible.
I am not cut out for steam cleaning a oven its nearly killed me.
But at least its done so I'm off to spend time with the puppies.

When your not busy.
Ok this also happens in network marketing, so we covered short term and placing urgency, if your following this and doing it hopefully you will be getting some pretty impressive results.
But let us remember why we are doing this business, for most its freedom and a great lifestyle to go with it, For others its a few hundred pounds a month extra to pay the bills.
Now what are your long term goals, what do you want in life that you will have be being consistent for the next 3,4,5...10 years.
That sounds like a long way off and a lot of work ahead, and ok yes it will be hard I know that it will be hard, but everyday I become more confident, more ideas are entering my head.
I also keep a book what I call the book of dreams, when I see a picture of something that I really want I cut it out and stick it into the book.
Then when I remind myself why I am doing this business I can reach for the book and remind myself again, that this is the reason why I am running my business.
Here is another great top tip when did you last ring your customers and ask them if they are happy with the products and services, they are taking you never know they may want to share it with other members of their family.
Why not give them a call today and have a chat with them.

Forgive us our trespasses and lead us not into thowing spanners in the works.
Well what a fabulous day it has been again today.
I officially believe that I have no problems with customer gathering, I went out today to walk the dogs and spoke to five people and dropped in the conversation, that I work part time but for full time pay.
I find it easy to relate to dog walkers mainly due to the fact that I instantly can build a good rapport over dogs.
Anyway so I gave them and business card and told them that it was my job to help people save money or make money.
All of them said "how do you do that??"
Which my perfect platinum answer was oh I cant go into it now, the puppies are getting restless my details are on the card give me a call if your interested, and I would love to meet you for coffee to have a chat about it.
Now I don't know if its just the sun shining and the fact its been a beautiful day, but everyone has seemed to be in such a brilliant mood. The weather certainly leaves and impression.
Ok so second thing I did was a follow up call to the minister that I was talking about the other day, I confirmed the appointment that I had with him, and made an agreement. Which I dont know who was more shocked, I said to him if he can refer people to me from his congregation to sign up as customers, I would donate my finders fee to the church.
He was immediately interested and I was quite shocked because I didn't think he would be that interested.
Which in turn he replied "I will be sure to get onto that straight away." I await my phone to start ringing.
Lastly had a plumber come to the house today, I am going to take a massive leap forward and get a combi boiler fitted, as the last two winters have been so bad, I didnt want to go through another freezing cold house.
The guy who came was really nice, self employed local business owner. He gave me a quote and started telling me about savings that I can make on gas.
"Im really glad you said that, because I do the cheapest utilities around." I said.
"Really how does that work." Said the plumber,
I then passed him a dvd and told him about a good little income earner, that was a brilliant bolt on to what he already did.
Heee Heeeee another follow up on friday.
Then after that I got talking to my neighbour up the road, she told me she had finally sold her house and she had to be out in 28 days, as she sold at auction. But had bought a house down the road but it was in need of much work. So I said to her....
"Right if thats the case you need all the money you can get, so I can help you save money or make money. what would you prefer."
Another appointment tomorrow. Is it me or is this business just too simple, its becoming as regular as me updating this blog actually.

Oh what a beautfiul morning.
Good Morning Campers Hi de Hi,
What a beautiful morning it is this morning sun is shining forecast a warm 23 degrees very unusual at this time of year.
This morning I went to my local networking event that I do every wednesday morning. Now if your in network marketing, the key thing that you have to do is this network. How can you have a business if you don't network with people and tell them about what you do. Some groups are costly and require far more commitment than others, but its a case of finding out where your local businesses congregate and getting to know them.
You are the spokesperson in your network marketing business, the director, salesman, accountant, distributor. So you represent your whole company, is it not important to make a good impression then when speaking to people.
Here is a tip I have learned though, if you plan on going to these network events you need to go in with a mindset of how to get business for them. The reason you have to do this is because if you go in with this mindset, fellow members will automatically give you business three fold. Statistically its proven aswell.
So what are my plans the rest of today, well I have some follow up calls to do, I have a guy coming to give me a quote on a new boiler. I am already wearing a recruiting hoody so hopefully I will pick up some conversation.
I didnt sleep well last night so because its a beautiful day I am going to take the dogs out for a walk and hopefully get talking to some dog walkers, that might be interested in a extra income.
I love this business, go on enjoy your day your an amazing person!!!!!!!

Some like it hot, some dont.
I had an appointment with a potential distributor on the phone at 6.30pm for a follow up call.
She works through the day 8-4pm so I decided to text her to confirm and move it a little earlier, as I have an appointment with a life insurance guy (yet another prospect yes.)
She text back and advised that she had to go and see her mother in wales due to something unexpected.
Two things you learn from this.
Good job I confirmed otherwise I would have wasted my time.
Dont take ages to follow up. Statistics prove that every day your prospect loses around 25% interest. Now she could come back to me but, I will have to wait and see.
In the meantime I ordered my bathroom carpet, I was very impressed the owner remembered me, and we arranged the colour style for the bathroom etc.
Afterwards I said that I would be coming back to him for my stair carpet, but I had to arrange to get a combi boiler fitted. He immediatly recommended a firm over the road who did just the thing.
So I asked him if I could leave some information about my business and follow up with him on friday. And now I have yet another prospect on my list, that I believe we can do alot of business together in the future. So he is coming round tomorrow at 2 to give me a estimate for all the works. I just need to find the money, which means my urgency just went up and I have to work harder. So I need to prospect another ten businesses, I think I will pay some industrial estates a visit tomorrow perhaps.

Comments and opinions are greatly appreciated.
I believe that I have worked out how to publish video's on the net, its only taken me months!
And I thought it might be a good idea to publish some video's on the web, of my day to day activity but thus still updating my blog.
Please let me know what you think and any suggestions are welcome.

It's amazing how quickly things change.
I've been back on the wagon a little over three weeks now, doing the business and one thing that I am noticing, is that I'm finding tv, incredibly tedious. I have over 900 channels of sky and not one of them I am finding of any interest, literally it is decaying my mind. All different channels, shopping, religion, movies, entertainment. And what's more most of them are repeat after repeat after repeat, you know what I find worse is daytime ads. They are awful its all bingo and accident compensation. How can anyone watch this is a mystery to me I hate soaps, and talk shows. My partner loves a programme called come dine with me but never cooks a dish that was made. Then why watch it. So today my fellow readers I'm going to inspire myself, with books and cds, and fill my year with knowledge and not nonsense.
Further more readers if you find some words don't make sense is because I actually update this blog aswell while im on the road, on my mobile and it uses predictive text apologies.

An interesting day to say the least.
So as it goes in network marketing, the business solely relies upon word of mouth and customer referrals.
Last week my dad (who is one of my customers) called me up and asked me if I would ring a priest of a church who was in much need of saving money.
So I rang him and a appointment was arranged today at his church in Newcastle. For his home and the hope of signing the church up as well.
I went along to see him and was impressed it was a lovely old church based in the heart of Newcastle.
We almost immediately got down to business, I did my presentation with him and provided him with a quotation for his energy.
I really did not expect what happened next when what is normally a basic, easy sign up turned into complex questions about kilowatt hours and tariffs, everything that I normally avoid. Once I answered all of his questions I also mentioned last, that I could arrange two special offers for him one was a ten percent discount if he takes four services or more, or fixing his energy tariff for the next three years.
The meeting ended up with him advising that he wanted to look at the figures more closely. And although I felt a little of me died and a bit miserable, because I had traveled all that way to see him. I held my posture and made myself look busy (even though I wasn't and got out of there.)
I got in the car and marked in my diary for next week to arrange a follow up with him. When I went to drive I way I got a glimpse of him in my rear view mirror running after my car.
So I stopped and let him catch up. Thinking that I had forgotten something (which I nearly always do.) He came to the window and said that he looked at the figures quickly whilst I had walked out and realized that the amount he is saving is significant.
Now I could have gone straight back in and signed him up, but I appear desperate to no one so I have rearranged the appointment for later in the week. And whats more he is leaving virgin to join us, and wants to sign the church up for his business utilities.
So my readers here is the moral, show patience and understanding, and hold the posture your business deserves.
A good day had by all.

This evenings conference call.
Every week Utility Warehouse do a conference call on a sunday evening, it lasts around 20 minutes.
Now not being the most self disciplined people I confess that I was not listening to it for a while. When really twenty minutes on a sunday evening does not really take a great deal of time just to sit and listen on the phone.
So what have I learned, on a conference that I was at over a week ago the company advised that it had just introduced the best feed in tariffs for those in the uk. For those of you who are (FIT) virgins. Feed in tariffs are for those people who have solar panels on their roofs and energy providers pay them for the amount of energy produced a quarter.
Very interesting to know that a lady made £730 in a quarter without even thinking about it. And absolutely certain that its something that is not to be sniffed at.
So learning that we do the best (FIT) in the uk makes it very easy for me to say to any person, with solar panels how would you like to have more money than your already getting off your current supplier.
Awesomeness for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what's my urgency.

The art of sundays.
The art of a sunday is more or less the same in may parts of the world.
Christian folk believe it is the day of rest, as god rested on the 7th day. Thus Christians also rest on the 7th day. Customary traditions like making the Sunday roast for the family.
Doing things in the house that need doing, but what we tend to forget is that Sundays are indeed an art. Because the things we mean to do on a Sunday now are spread over a 7 day week. Because we find it easier to spread the time over a week than cram it into a day.
We lose focus of our intention as everything has to become a priority, taking the rubbish out. Cleaning the house, doing the washing, washing the car. And when we list all of these things onto a sheet of paper, it is without surprise that we are unable to cram all of these things into one day.
So Sundays in my conclusion is more a day for time, time to free yourself of the things you cram into a week, some folk believe that Sundays are boring, others find it is the best day of the week.
My sundays are a normal working day, today whilst decorating the bathroom, i thought it necessary to call along to my local carpet shop dealer to look for a new bathroom carpet. In nine years I have never ever called into my local carpet dealer, and thought it was high time that I should.
He presented me with a sample of very high quality bathroom carpet, and the price was impressive. Now I know I could go to my local diy store and buy a ready made one at less than half the price. But now in my life I believe in quality not quantanty.
Whilst speaking to the owner I dropped in about the discounted carpet shop that had opened over the road, and that I would be far more likely to shop here, than that of over the road. Because they bought in bulk and the quailty was not ask good.
Now remember that being in network marketing the key is forging relationships, I also happened to drop in that I was also a local business man, now the owner was interested. He felt more at ease talking to me as he could associate with me as a fellow business man. I happened to drop into the conversation that I could save him a significant amount of money on his utilities, we agreed on a price in the meantime on the carpet and I have to go and see him tomorrow to give him the measurements, I will also be able to leave him with some information and follow up, a new business to sign up in the making.
This is the pure art of my sundays.

So what happened to kick start it off.
When I was in my prime.in the business, I was in my prime. Customer gathering was not a problem, I could find customers anywhere, I was a high flyer doing one thing and getting good at.it. Now I'm going to say that again, doing one thing and getting good at it. Then getting fat ahead of myself I started recruiting people into my team and it all got out of hand. An unproductive team and a customer base that was drying up, because I was so hacked off with it all caused over a years worth of unproductivity. I was lazy, depressed and just could not be bothered.
I was still going to some of the events but to be truthful, my heart was not in it. So in July I was giving it some thought to get back involved with the business. When on a Sunday a few weeks ago I got a call off sharon, my group leader.
She said that she was on her way back from a conference with a guy called Tom Barrett, and it was so inspirational she had booked for next year straight away, she said that she felt it would be of benefit to me. . And asked if I would commit to.going on the same conference next year to going to the conference.
I agreed although my heart was still not in it but Sharon did end the conversation saying, that by that time I would at least be a level up and thus, it would be worth it.
The next day the business was stuck in my head, so I emailed Sharon, to ask for a one to one by Wednesday.
Wednesday came and so had the one to one, I poured my heart out and said it was such a struggle to do the business as I could see.my goals, but because I didn't need to work I didn't feel the need to do it straight away.
Sharon sat and listened and empathised and told me something, that hit me like a slap in the face.
She showed me that its ok to do the business but if I had no sense of urgency how would I succeed. She then asked me to think of something that I needed to put some urgency on, I thought and thought and my mind was blank. As far as I could see so had every thing I needed.
The only thing I could think of was I wanted my hallway decorating, and it would be nice if I could ear on the money to.do it.
Then all of a sudden BANG it hit me, I had a purpose to do this business all of a sudden. And together we devised a plan to help me get to my Target of 250 pounds.
Then all of a sudden things have changed I've been on the phone calling people,.speaking to new and existing businesses, getting appointments, and signing up new customers. My diary is again full and I've found my one thing I'm good at and the rest can take care of its self. Five appointments I've had this last week and a possible recruit for my team in nottingham I have neared my target. I can see that hallway being decorated soon, and I earned the money for it.
I will post photos soon.
I was still going to some of the events but to be truthful, my heart was not in it. So in July I was giving it some thought to get back involved with the business. When on a Sunday a few weeks ago I got a call off sharon, my group leader.
She said that she was on her way back from a conference with a guy called Tom Barrett, and it was so inspirational she had booked for next year straight away, she said that she felt it would be of benefit to me. . And asked if I would commit to.going on the same conference next year to going to the conference.
I agreed although my heart was still not in it but Sharon did end the conversation saying, that by that time I would at least be a level up and thus, it would be worth it.
The next day the business was stuck in my head, so I emailed Sharon, to ask for a one to one by Wednesday.
Wednesday came and so had the one to one, I poured my heart out and said it was such a struggle to do the business as I could see.my goals, but because I didn't need to work I didn't feel the need to do it straight away.
Sharon sat and listened and empathised and told me something, that hit me like a slap in the face.
She showed me that its ok to do the business but if I had no sense of urgency how would I succeed. She then asked me to think of something that I needed to put some urgency on, I thought and thought and my mind was blank. As far as I could see so had every thing I needed.
The only thing I could think of was I wanted my hallway decorating, and it would be nice if I could ear on the money to.do it.
Then all of a sudden BANG it hit me, I had a purpose to do this business all of a sudden. And together we devised a plan to help me get to my Target of 250 pounds.

I can't sleep.
Ok I've previously tried to keep a blog and failed miserably. Down to sheer laziness.
The purpose of trying to keep this blog, is to do a year in the life of running a network marketing business. Why????
Because people say it doesn't work and I say I don't believe them.
So I can't guarantee that I will update it every day but I will try.
Why can't I update it every day, well due to the simple fact, that when you have a off day it can lead to a week or even a month.
On the other hand what I hope to do is look back on this blog, for the good moments, and hope that they will push it even further.
So about me, my name is Darren Johnson, I'm now 32 years old, up until July I worked a full time job. Which like a high percentage of population, I hated my job, and I really wanted to leave.
I had a bad months in June where I lost my dog Sam out adorable golden Labrador, who was nearly seven.
I got up at quarter to six to let him out, while I was making coffee, when within seconds he had a freak accident and broke his back. Having to get him put to sleep, was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. Enclosed is a photo of him.
After having lost Sam my world literally fell apart, you see I have no children and had Sam ever since he was a puppy. Dogs are a member of the family and are just as important. You see if you give a dog your heart, they will give you theirs.
So where am I going with this, as a surprise, the day before my birthday, I was given two adorable puppies, called paddy and max. See the photo attached, I figured that having two and working full time, I wouldn't feel as guilty leaving them.
I used to hate leaving Sam all alone in the house all day with no company, and still I feel guilty about it.
So for the first fortnight things were ok with paddy and max being on their own. But when they picked up a bug and were being sick all over.
The look on their faces told me they needed me, so I made a decision that something had to change right now.
I went into my job and quit, a bit crazy you might think, well not really as my other half has a good job so the loss in salary was not a huge deal. We can still get by but now we have to be more careful.
So where is all this leading????
Please be patient with me, as I have to bring my story up to date, before I can make my hopefully regular blog entries.
So realising that I could get by I also have a lettings business that I have with my father. Whilst working full time all that I could think about was leaving my job and going self employed.
For years I dreamed about being my own boss, that working for myself would give me a sense of achievement. And not being continuously ridiculed, about work not being up to scratch.
So I started in lettings and it was fine for a while, bit the problem was one of two things, I still had to leave the dogs, and I didn't enjoy the work the way I thought I would.
It's a true fact that you should never work with family, because you don't agree.on anything. Decisions are made without you and you feel awkward asking for money.
I knew it was time for a change, and here is where my story is beginning. I have been involved in a network marketing business for three years now, I have picked it up and put it down so many times.
But everything now is pointing in the direction, for me to build my network marketing business.
Now if you don't know what network marketing is readers, then Google it. If you found this blog then you can find Google.research it and come to your own conclusions. The company I work with is utility warehouse and probably does the most boring things you ever heard of gas, electric, phone, internet and mobile.
Not the most dazzling products, I know but they are the ultimate consumables, and people these days need these products to get by.
For every customer I sign up I get paid off them forever, so its simple the more work I do, the more I get paid.
So for the next installment of my story go to my next entry.
