Jordan Adler Critical Review

Mister Jodan Adler is a seriously motivating & a exceedingly successful home based business builder. With out a doubt there is unquestionably a lot you can learn from him.

Mr. Adler is a uppermost pay earner in network marketing as well as the source of a best selling home based business paperback beach money.

While I have by no means built a business with this legend in a multi level marketing corporation I have had the opportunity to speak with Jordan Adler on a few special occasions & what I discovered in our talks absolutely aided me to become successful in this industry.

There was a ton of extremely impressive secrets that I learned from Jordan, that I used and implemented in to my own business sponsoring activities that definitely allowed me to create some significant gains. A large amount of them I read in his paperback…

Jordan Alder wrote a hardback entitled Beach Money, if you crave some genuine multi level marketing tips… I’d positively urge you get yourself a copy. A lot of excellent down line building content to discover within.

He unquestionably builds his home based business via what would be described as old school marketing activities, or in simple terms off line strategies… he is not into online network marketing at all.

Furthermore it definitly worked for him. He’s a king of increasing what I entitle an perpetually growing candidate or prospect list… which is only a ornamental method of saying he excells at meeting new persons… all the time having new leads to share his organization with.

However how he does it is incredibly exceptional… he undeniably doesn’t run after people to enlist into his down line, instead he has a way of meeting these leads in such a method that they look at him like he is a authority instead of some get rich quick goof ball desperate to have them join his downline.

His leads pick up a respect for him, and he’s the master of keeping in touch with them, using means he gives to us in his beach money paperback.

In contrast to most home based business builders he is the best, when a prospect says no to him, he understands that really does not mean no, it merely means not at the present… things transform in leads life… people go through ups and downs… clearly because your multi level marketing business isn’t suitable for someone at the present does not indicate it will not be suitable for them later on… this is one of the corner stones of Jordan’s down line exploding strategies.

Jordan knows the right way to come across the proper leads for his multi level marketing business… he understands how to form a connection with them… and he knows how and when to talk to the prospect about his organization… and he understands superior then all other home based business top earner I have ever met how to stay in contact with them.

So… sure despite of if you build your network marketing opportunity using old school methods or are into internet network marketing You’ll learn some great strategies for victory from Jordan Adler.

Looking For A Home Based Business 5 Questions You Must Ask

When looking for a Home Based Business there are 5 very important questions you must ask.

They are:

Question #1: What is the product or service being sold?

If you cannot clearly identify a specific product or service being offered for sale through the Home Based Business, it may be a Pyramid Scheme or a similar type of Scam.

Here’s the reasoning behind it:

If there’s no product or service being offered to the public for sale, how can the company promoting the Home Based Business generate a profit? Where’s the money coming from to pay you a commission or a bonus?

If they’re not making a profit from sale to the end consumer then they’ve got to generate that income from you and other members like you just recruiting other people who are usually asked to pay some outrageous Application/ Registration Fee, even if they call it by a fancy name.

This is nothing more than a Pyramid Scheme and NOT a legitimate Home-Based Business. A popular example is Gifting Programs, there are no Goods or Services being sold, it’s just people exchanging money with other people. Sooner or later somebody is bound to get hurt!

Question #2: How stable is the company?

Why is this important?

Well suppose you found what seemed like a really great company and started building a Home-Based Business with them only to find out 2 to 3 years later that the FTC swooped down on them for illegal practices and shut them down for good?

This actually happened with one company I was working with many years ago.

People became millionaires with this company in a matter of months. It was the fastest money I’d ever made in Network Marketing up to that time, but within months of joining the company it all came crashing down because of problems with the structure of the company and certain practices that displeased the FTC.

I learnt my lesson.

In checking out the company you’ll want to find out how long they’ve been in business and where their headquarters is located. You’ll want to ask about any other Companies they’re affiliated with, like their Parent Company, Sister Companies or Subsidiaries if there are any.

There’s an old adage that goes; “Show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are.”

That applies here.

You can tell something about a company by the company it keeps (pun intended).

In looking at how long a Company’s been in business be careful not to throw away the good with the bad, for instance, a particular program might be brand new but the Parent Company backing that program might have been in business for many years, giving it the stability you’re looking for. Look deep and don’t be afraid to check behind the curtains.

Question #3: What is the quality of the company’s leadership?

Dr John C. Maxwell, international Speaker, Motivator and Best-selling Author says, “Everything rises or falls on leadership.”

It has been my experience that a Company usually takes on the characteristics of its leader(s) so, if you want to know what kind of business you’re about to join, look at the leadership.

Practically speaking, you’ll also want to check out the business acumen of the person or people in charge because they’re the ones making the decisions that’ll impact the future of the Company – Your Company.

Question #4: How good is the compensation plan?

I think The O’Jays said it best; Money, money, money, money… monney!!!

You’re going in business to make money not to look good in a business suit.

And if you have a real Home-Based Business then you won’t be wearing a business suit in the first place, Right?

There are so many different types of Compensation Plans; from the sublime to the laughable. There are 2-Ups, 1-Ups, Binaries, Unilevels, 5×7 Expanding Matrices. There are Spillovers, Powerlines, Breakaways and on, and on, and on.

Here’s what to focus on:

How much is being paid out in commissions?

Too little and it’s not worth your time, too much and the company might not retain enough profit to sustain its continued growth and expansion.

The experts say about 65% being paid out in commissions is the acceptable norm.

Understand the difference between Bonuses and Commissions.

Commissions usually form part of your ongoing residual income. Bonuses are usually temporary financial increases, paid on a specific action, performance or fulfilled quota and as such; do not form part of your regular ongoing income. Focus on good commissions as opposed to bonuses!

Look for passive, residual income.

This is the kind of income wise people seek after. It’s the type of income you keep getting long after you’ve stop working. An author writes a book once and keeps getting royalties from sales years after she stops writing.

The Harry Potter Series made J. K. Rowling a billionaire and now here comes Stephanie Meyer and the Twilight Series – Go sisters, go!

With a Home based Business the same thing is possible.

You can do the work once and keep getting paid forever once you’ve selected a stable Company with good Leadership and the right Compensation Plan with an easily Duplicatable System.

Question #5: Is it easily duplicatable?

Even if you’ve got everything else going for you that’s mentioned above, if the system CANNOT be easily duplicated it’s not going to work.

Your attempt at building a successful Home-Based Business will fail and here’s the reason why:

J. Paul Getty said, “I would rather earn 1% of the efforts of 100 people than earn 100% of my own efforts.”

This is the axiom upon which Network Marketing, MLM’s and Affiliate Programs are built. Zig Ziglar said it this way, “If you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want.”

Either way you look at it, it’s going to take a team. Teamwork makes the dream work. So, if the system you’re looking at cannot be easily duplicated by the average person who wants to start a Home-based Business how are you going to ever build a successful team?

There are over 475,000 people worldwide starting a Home-Based Business every week, 175,000 here in the USA alone. Most of them don’t know how to build a Home Based Business so if your system isn’t user friendly then, most likely, they’ll find another one that is.

Keep these tips in mind:

We live in the age of Video; this is the YouTube Generation so, if your program makes use of video to help sell the product or explain the benefits that’s a plus.

People have become very wary of ‘meetings’; that’s like a four-letter word to most so, if your business presentations can be done online that’s a plus.

We also live in the Digital Age; Digital Products are the fastest selling commodity on the Internet right now. If your business is involved with the sale or distribution of Digital Information Products that’s a plus because they’re instantly delivered and can cut overhead expenses by as much as 80% for the Company thus increasing the Profit Margin.

This simply means… More money for everyone!

There you have it; my 5 top questions you should ask before joining any Home-Based Business.

Oh, Yeah, Gourmet Applesauce.

Applesauce? Really?

Rudys Fruity Applesauce, an endeavor that caters to gift basket stores and gourmet niche foods, almost never happened. In an odd way, we had to thank a tanking stock market for our success.

Several years ago I had been working at mutual fund investment firm and the stock market was doing its typical volatility thing (anyone remember Y2K?) and things were looking fairly bleak for the investment industry. The dot com boom had just busted and many investors were literally frozen with fear about trying to make any more decisions as to where or how to invest their funds. Many had great losses (albeit on paper) and were sitting deathly still.

Now, an applesauce business was nowhere on my radar, but, I had managed to save a little bit of cash and discussed with my wife the idea of doing some type of business for ourselves. With a high probability of a layoff looming in the not too distant future we decided to start looking around as well as brainstorm for ideas. It was the fall season and here in New Hampshire that means many things, but, one especially: apple picking.

Making Applesauce

One day I had gone to a local orchard and bought some apples, took them home, found my favorite applesauce recipe and started churning out my favorite food. I had cooked enough of it that I was giving some of it away to relatives and my sister-in-law, who LOVES our homemade applesauce, joking said that we ought to consider selling our applesauce to local gourmet stores.

It was one of those “Sweet Baby Jesus!” moments. Thank goodness we had never owned a business before that time!! We began a very arduous, but, ultimately, rewarding process of trying to establish a home based business. It took us to places and people we never thought wed ever go or meet. The research alone was brutal. Government licenses, cooking processes, jars, recipe trials and errors, creating a logo, marketing, safety procedures, sales, internet presence, etc. The list now seems HUGE looking back.

The Applesauce Name

But, we were successful! The name for our gourmet applesauce business, Rudys Fruity Applesauce, is a homage to my father-in-law who passed away while we were in the early stages of establishing the business. The flavors came about through extensive family food tastings to see which combinations of fruit worked with our apples.

Some of our greatest times have come from the many trade shows and product samplings at stores that weve been able to do around New England. Weve been honored with doing a tasting/presentation at an inauguration for one of New Hampshires governors, at the State House! That was a hoot AND we were named as The Best of New Hampshire by New Hampshire magazine a few years ago.

Weve seen folks use our gourmet applesauces in cookies, oatmeal, bread, with granola and warmed up served on ice cream! Applesauce is loaded with fiber and nutrition so ranks as a top health food.

Were still a small business. Weve had a few set-backs. But, weve revamped our website, taken a few more deep breaths and continue to march forward. Ya gotta love this country!!

Tomorrow I’ll write about trying different fruit combinations. Kiwi/Pear? Coconut? Who knows!

Have an applesauce day!

Find the Probability of Success for Any Online Home Based Business Opportunity

Like baseball, if you miss all three, you are out.
You can not know what you do not know.
If it was indecision, there was something you could have done.
Peter Drucker defines opportunity this way:

“Opportunity in the market place is because of a process of convergence of forces that were previously not together.
The essential forces Peter Drucker did not individually identify as converging will be enumerated and discussed in this article.
This article will describe these five essential forces that must be in place for any online home based business opportunity to be successful.
They are universal, abstract, and independent of business type.

A simple analytical method to evaluate these essential elements and arrive at a numerical figure of merit will be presented.
You will arrive at a numerical rating for the relative strength for the Probability of Success (S) for any online home based business opportunity you care to evaluate.
This will remove emotion from the decision process.
All five forces must be present simultaneously.
They must all be in the right place at the right time to create a successful online home based business opportunity.
They are like the spokes in a wagon wheel.
Each factor dramatically affects the success of any online home based business opportunity.
If there is no convergence, there is nothing you can do to make the business a success.

Opportunity presents itself only when all these forces are in simultaneous alignment.
The order in which they are presented is no indication of their relative values.

This method is not buried in concrete.
When you finally establish a value, stick with it.
For example, if you decide leadership has a maximum value of 2 or 5, stick with it on any online home based business opportunity you wish to evaluate.
In this case, Leadership has been arbitrarily assigned a maximum value of 2.

1.
A viable online home based business opportunity must have very deep pockets or be owned by a company with very deep pockets, preferably a parent company that has already gone through the growth cycle and has the funds to support the new growth.
Products (D) (Maximum = 20)

Leading Edge Product Technology (Maximum = 5)

R&D

Proprietary (No other place to get it)

Competitive

Product Quality (Maximum = 5)

Quality, like Reliability, must be built into the design and process.

Product Fills a Recognizable Need (Maximum = 5)

There should be a clear need for your product or service.
There may be very little demand for 78 rpm vinyl records.

Trends (R) (Maximum = 20)

Demographic Trends (Maximum = 10)

As individuals, we can not create a demographic trend.
The “Baby Boomers” are the largest market in history.
When the first of these babies were born, a powerful demand for baby products materialized.
As these babies started shaving, Gillette started making huge profits.
As these babies began to have babies, the Mini-Van became desirable.

Economic Trends (Maximum = 10)

Individuals do not create an economic trend.
Real estate is sensitive to interest rates.
Cosmetics, on the other hand, are virtually immune to economic downtrends and would be assigned a high number.
If your online home based business opportunity is immune to economic trends assign a high number.
In an online home based business opportunity, the mantra is Timing, Timing, and Timing.
Timing, like trends, is also beyond your control.
There is nothing you can do to improve timing.
If timing is present assign a high number based upon the following criteria.
Formulation Phase: (Maximum = 20)

This is the phase where research and development are just completed.
This region is characterized by slow, deliberate growth.
It is defined as the region of the growth curve where income from sales is less than $50 million per year.
It requires forethought and knowledge.
It requires due diligence on your part to study the online home based business opportunity and arrive at your estimate of the strength of the five essential force ingredients of a successful online business venture.

B.
This is the point which will determine ” When”.
From this point onward, the curve rises ever so steeply.
If you are not on board at this time, your online home based business opportunity will quickly leave you behind.

C.
If you have exercised your desire, ability, and motivation, you have already become a participant before your online home based business opportunity reaches momentum.
There is nothing you can do to stop the momentum which is now building beneath you.
It is like a giant wave that carries you to the pinnacle of success.
For example, you could buy Microsoft stock now, but the big opportunity is already over and it will never come back again.
If you find your online home based business opportunity near the top of the curve, near stabilization (defined below), assign timing a number closer to one.
Stabilization

This is the area where the exponential growth has died out.
Sales are good, but sales are not increasing exponentially.
The curve is relatively flat, and growth has slowed to a value similar to the development phase.
It is passed.
There is no online home based business opportunity.

Compensation (K) (Maximum = 20)

Leverage (Maximum = 10)

If you trade time for money, you will never get ahead by investing one increment of your time for one increment of income.
You will get by, but you will never get ahead.
That is done by leveraging yourself.
Paul Getty stated this clearly when he said:

“I had rather have one percent of a hundred people’s efforts than 100% of my own efforts”.
g.
If you can leverage yourself, assign a number closer to 10.

Override (1)

If you receive override compensation on the efforts of others, assign a value of 1, otherwise zero.

Residual (2)

If you can build your equity to the point that you have residual compensation from your previous efforts, assign a value of 2.

Define the Possibility for Success (P) as being totally dependent upon the sum of the five prime forces required for a successful business (above).
The only thing you will do is evaluate each ingredient and assign it a strength value.
Assign each one of the five ingredients a value from zero to 20 according to the instructions presented above.
) You have determined all the values for C, D, R, T, and K.

Add up all five of your separate evaluations.
Let M be limited to a number between zero and one with zero being the worst case and one being the best case.
Determine this multiplier number by self-evaluating your desire, ability, and motivation.
Too many people say “I don’t have the time.
Successful people do not have time—they make time.
But unto thine own self be true.
The probability for success is 100 percent.
It is no longer a question of “If”.

Use this procedure one each online home based business opportunity that you wish to evaluate and compare.

Food Storage And Emergency Preparedness Are Now In Mlm

Hundreds of different products are sold through the business of network marketing (MLM or multi-level marketing). Companies selling soap, cosmetics, vitamins, nutritional supplements, energy drinks, long distance services, water filters, gold, and almost everything imaginable have long used MLM as their method of distribution. Newcomers to the MLM business are often owners of companies which have been in existence for several years. They discover that the network marketing industry is a way for them to move more product and create more wealth.

Using MLM and the home party system, a new kid on the block in network marketing is in the area of food storage and emergency preparedness. Customers may buy the products on a monthly basis at affordable prices in order to develop family preparedness. MLM is a home based business concept which allows people to introduce others to the products and the opportunity. By signing up people under them to buy and sell the products, they may be able to earn money from their downline which consists of all those signed up under them to a certain level.

Each network marketing company sets its own compensation plan to pay their distributors. They decide what percentages can be earned and how many levels to go deep and how far to go wide. Width is usually determined by those personally enrolled as distributors under the person. Depth is how many levels on which they will pay.

It is generally well known and accepted that the products in MLM are higher priced than comparable products in retail stores. The companies need to be able to pay their distributors from their profits. The owners of the companies are often the people who become the richest as they earn money from all the distributors who buy the products but who never made a dime because they did not qualify for the payouts.

However, this industry remains one of the few ways that a person can start for a very small investment of cash and have the potential to become wealthy. MLM has been making millionaires for years by allowing people to leverage themselves. They sign up people once and can get paid on them for years as they continue to order. Additionally, they get paid on the efforts of many other people whom they never know. As long as people are buying products and the distributor is active in the pay plan by personally purchasing monthly, there will be money to be made.

With the many disasters around the world and the bad economy causing havoc in peoples life, it is plain to see that emergency preparedness and food storage are worthy endeavors for everyone. Being prepared can cause a sense of well being and security if and when problems arise. One never knows when a tragedy will hit.

People who are interested in food storage and emergency preparedness or who want to find a home based business might consider this new endeavor in network marketing. There are good possibilities, and there is money to be made in this area.
