What NOT To Do In Your Business

1) Waiting For Your Enroller To Call You And Offer Help.

It is crucial to call your enroller if you need help. Your enroller is running the business and helping several different people get started, finish training as well as running their business. Your enroller is not your boss, you enrolled in this business to have time and freedom, your enroller doesn't know how you are working your business, so it is your obligation to reach out to them if you need help or have a question. Never feel like you are bothering them!! We are here to help!

2) Not Being Prepared For Dream Stealers.

Usually friends and family are the ones telling you this wont work, you cant do that, you should get a real job... and so on. The people who are telling you this, they don't know about the business, they don't know what it all entails. A lot of the time new IBO's will reach out to the friends and family before they know the ins and Outs of the business, before they know how to present the business and that can cause those comments to be said. Wait until you are trained on how to explain the business. Some people also like to wait until they get a few checks before they share the business opportunity with family or friends.Ask yourself who are you going to listen to? The person who doesn't know the business and isn't a part of the business OR the person who enrolled you and is working the business just as you are and the people working the business along side you.....

3) Spending Too Much Time On Busy Work

Starting a new business is exciting, you can set up your home office, create a business plan, get business cards set up, run to office depot and get all kinds of stuff to decorate your home office! You must remember that the MOST important thing is to get your initial enrollment back and build up your business so you don't have to worry about the overhead each month! Spend 15% of your time doing "busy work" and 85% on actively marketing and talking with prospects.

4) Having Unrealistic Expectations With Income

AmeriPlan is a legitimate and well respected real business, Not a "get rich quick business". Easy Fix: A real legitimate business takes time to build. Should take 1-3 months minimum, you can also make $1,000 your first 30 days. If you work your business 2-4 years working 15-30 hours a week you will earn a lifetime residual income! You won't get that by working a J.O.B for 2-4 years...

5) Having Unrealistic Expectations On Advertising And Results

BE CONSISTENT in your advertising. Post 3-5 times a day, post new ads each week on multiple advertising and marketing sites! You won't get results by posting 1-2 forms of advertising and waiting for the phone to ring. It Won't Happen! It takes consistent ongoing effort.  Master 5 forms of marketing & advertising a week. Once you master marketing, you master your business. BE CONSISTENT!

6) Not Completing Your Training or Skipping Steps

A lot of people get super excited and skip over steps of training and try to master the business. When your team asks questions, always ask and make sure they completed their training.  Do your training in order, it's there because you need it and it works! It's like trying to multiply before you learn to add.

7) Failing To Participate in 2-5 calls per week

These calls are your ongoing training! The 30 day training is just the foundation, the training calls will help you build your business on that foundation. There are about 20 calls per week you can join in and listen to and get great tips from. If you aren't able to listen to the live calls you can always listen to the recordings of the calls.

8) Quitting Before The Blessings

This business takes time to grow and be successful! Don't quit before your blessing come, stay determined and commit to this for a year, and you will see growth in your business. As you grow your team you see that in your income. If you work your business consistently and stay strong and committed, your goals and dreams for the business will come to life! You being here is the first success and time will come second. Train yourself to have a business mindset and NOT a job mentality. For example: If you are 300lbs overweight and your doctor told you to take a pill for 12 weeks and you will see amazing results. You take the pill for 5 weeks and don't see any results, are you going to stop taking the pill? No, because the doctor just told you it will take 12 weeks to see any result! Don't quit right before you're about to strike gold!

9) Overlooking the Importance of Setting a Schedule and Goals

You really need to set a schedule for yourself! Create a schedule and stick to it. If you miss hours - make it up somewhere else in the week. If you work Monday -  Friday from 8am -3pm and one day you have something come up that takes away from your work time, make it up later during the week or on a weekend. Treat your business like a job outside the home. If you are late to work, unreliable, not getting things done, you will get fired from that job, well here you won't get fired, however, you won't get paid. Respect your business and treat it like the business you want it to be and know it can be and NOT where you are today! Set goals for yourself and keep track of where you are in your business. Set goals for how many pieces of business you want to add each week and month, how many Ads you want to create per week and month and how many people you want to talk to each day, week and month. (3-5 conversations a day). Hold yourself accountable! Be honest with yourself.

10) Not Understanding The Management Trap and Not Understanding Volume Equals Results

many times people go into management mode, they get a team built and focus a lot of their time on helping the team, manage the team, do everything for the team and forget about their business. You have to always have new people to talk to. Help your team but also cut out time in your day to add to your business and success. The more people you add to your team, the more your team with grow and the more money you will generate. Same goes for your team, the more they build their team, the more money they receive. Lead By Example!! 

11) Getting Emotionally Attached To Your Prospects

Example: You have a great conversation with a prospect and they ask you to call them back on Friday at 1:00pm. You give them a call on Friday at 1:00pm and are super excited to get them enrolled and have them start building their dreams. You call and they don't answer and they don't follow back up with you. Instead of getting upset or down and loose your momentum, have the attitude like, You gave them great information about an amazing opportunity that is their loss and you need to call you next prospect.  Sometime people don't have the courage to tell you no over the phone and when they tell you they want a call back, they have already decided in their minds they aren't going to do this. Have the attitude that if you talk to them and they enroll, GREAT! If not, move on and help someone else join. Always Focus Forwards and Not Backwards! Focus on talking to new people!
