One of the keys to success in business and in life is to build a powerful network. The poor look for work while the rich build networks. However, it can be more difficult to build a powerful network than it may seem. Many people go to networking events for a time and then complain that they do not work. Here are five steps you can take to build a powerful network that works for you.

1. Identify who are the ideal people that you need in your network. You can start by indicating the personality qualities as well as the professions and other important aspects of these people. Write these down and determine anything else that these people need to have in order to be considered a part of the core of your network.

2. Set goals for your powerful network. What will it do for you? Will it make it so that if you ever lost your job, you would be able to find a new one really quickly? Will it bring you new business for your own business on a regular basis? Will it allow you to give back to others?

3. Add to your network every week. Set a goal for a number of new people that you need to meet and connect with each week. Always be adding to your network. Determine where there are any gaps or holes and develop a plan for meeting new people who can fill in these gaps.

4. Stay in contact with your network. Use cards, email, the phone, in person meetings and any other method you can come up with to keep your warm contacts warm. Strive to offer value to as many of them as possible and to be memorable.

5. Don’t be afraid to ask for referrals but make sure that you give as many referrals to others as possible. Your relationship must be mutual and you must also give in order to receive.

When searching for a home business, you will no doubt come across network marketing and party plan businesses. However, how do you decide whether or not you want to get involved with network marketing or a party plan business. It can be difficult to decide which one to choose and since there are many similarities it can complicate your decision even further. Here are some things to consider:

1. If you join a network marketing company can you do parties with your product line? Even if they are not a party plan, it helps if your products can be used to hold parties since parties are a very effective method of building a business and many people are attracted by the idea of being able to do parties.

2. If you join a party plan business how many parties will you be required to do per month? Can you skip a month and still earn your commissions? If not, you may want to think twice about joining that company since you may get sick or have something happen and you may not be able to do parties for a while. What will you do if this happens?

3. Network Marketing companies usually require a monthly autoship, where as in party plan companies you usually buy a kit for a certain amount and sometimes you can even earn your kit with parties, and then you have to sell a given amount of product every 3 or 4 months. While selling the product might seem better instead of an autoship, it can end up being more of a pain since you have to sell that amount even if you are a sick, have a death in the family or you go on vacation.

4. Do you really love to party? If not, then you really should think twice about joining a party plan business. There are so many network marketing businesses nowadays that it should be easy to find one that is a fit for you. However, if you really love parties then a party plan business may end up being a better fit.

5. Do you really enjoy retailing and do you want to earn most of your income from selling a product? Even though both business models offer residual income through team building most network marketing models offer better compensation for team building and less profit from retailing although there are some that differ from this.

In short, both business models work and are successful, you just need to find the one that is the right fit for you.

Do you have a vision for your network marketing business? Do you know exactly who you plan to help with your business and what you will do to make a large successful organization a reality for you? All Olympic athletes have an enormous drive and vision for their success. They see themselves receiving their medals before they actually get them. They picture in their minds eye, the moment when their perfect performance has been completed and they are standing on the medals plaza.

Taking time to plan and map out your vision for your network marketing business is crucial to your success. Write down your goals on a regular basis. Write down a team vision for your network marketing leaders and team and share it with your business partners. Realize that you will need to make adjustments to your goals and vision and that is perfectly okay. Olympic athletes have setbacks and everything does not always go perfectly according to plan. They get hurt, competitors perform better than they expected, competitors drop out, changes occur with coaches, routines and facilities and other things happen that influence their performances. However, the top athletes maintain their clear vision of winning the gold medal no matter what.

Just like they have a perfect vision, you too need to have one in order to achieve maximum success with your network marketing business.

It also helps to have a backup plan in case you have to change course. Such is the case with Valerie Flemming who has an injury which is going to keep her out of the Vancouver Olympics. However, she is still staying optimistic in case someone else drops out and she may be able to get back on the team.

Do you have a backup plan for your vision with your network marketing business? If not, you need to include this as a crucial part of your business. Life happens and you may have to make some major course corrections.

Rachel Flatt waves after receiving her medal after winning the ladies free skate at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Spokane, Wash., Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

The Winter 2010 Olympics will begin in Vancouver, Canada in less than 3 weeks. Being an Olympic athlete is not easy. In fact, it is very difficult and challenging. I was watching the women’s figure skating finals that would determine who takes the two spots for the US team on Saturday night and while all of the ladies were amazing, there are some great lessons to be learned as well.

Sasha Cohen who has already skated in previous Olympics fell during her long program and placed 4th as well. The main thing that caused her poor performance was the fact that she had taken a break from skating and this was her first public performance in a few years.

Are you being consistent with your network marketing business? Do you prospect, train, and follow up every day? Do you work your business even when you don’t feel like it. While Sasha probably had good reasons why she did not perform publicly for awhile and then she decided to come back and try for the Olympics, so do many network marketers. They make up excuses why they are not doing what needs to be done and then they wonder why they are not seeing the kind of success that they
want.

By contrast Rachel Flatt at the young age of 16 has been dedicated the whole time and has not stopped practicing and appearing in public ice contests. As it says in this article about her preparations for the Vancouver Olympics, Rachel hasn’t even read a book that she has been wanted to read because she has been so focused on getting into the Olympics.

As we found out on Saturday night, her hard work and commitment paid off when she took first place.
Are you accepting excuses as reasons why you are not at the level in your network marketing business where you want to be?

When choosing a MLM business it is wise to take a look at the compensation plan since that is what determines how you get paid for your team building efforts. MLM compensation plans can be a real pain to understand and they come in all different kinds so here are some questions to ask yourself and to think about before choosing a MLM company.

1. How much product will I have to purchase on a monthly basis? This is important because if the number is high it will make it harder for you as well as the people you sponsor to be able to afford it. This is especially true in the beginning when they are not making any money yet.

2. Will the amount of product you have to purchase each month increase as your income increases? This is important because you want to make sure that you will not ever be required to buy or sell more than you can reasonably expect to consume in one month even if you are sick or have something come up that makes running your business difficult or impossible.

3. How hard is it for a part time person to make a decent income? Various compensation plans make it easier or harder for the average part timer to make a decent income.

4. How much of the plan is based on bonuses and other extras that do not make up the standard compensation plan? If the amount is too large of a percentage then you need to be very careful because this can be a sign of an illegal pyramid instead of a valid MLM company.

5. Does the comp plan strongly encourage everyone to have customers and not just distributors? This is one of the requirements for a legitimate company and you will make a lot more money if you are able to retail and make a profit instead of only enrolling distributors.

6. Will you be able to keep your income if you cannot work for a period of time? With many companies the comp plan makes this impossible or difficult.

In summary you really need to make sure that you understand the comp plan for any MLM opportunity that you either are already with or that you are considering joining.
