These days Mike offers lots of products to show you how to successfully build a network marketing business, but boil all that down and what do you suppose he actually did to be so successful? There had to be a time when he didn't know what to do either; when he was trying to figure it all out and he developed his leadership skills in the same way we all have to.
He started in the same place we have all been.
But then he cracked the nut and figured out a plan to change his level of success.
Here are the six steps he followed right from the horse's mouth:

1. He started treating it like a real business, not a hobby.
   He got committed.
   In other words, you have to do it every single day.
   Sporadic doesn't cut it in the world of network marketing.
   
2. He increased his value to others by buying products and training courses on marketing and personal development.
   He used what he learned to turn around and give value to his downline and followers by sharing his knowledge.
   
3. He started selling himself and his other leaders, not his opportunity, which generated attraction.
   Then he marketed and sold his system to his prospects.
   
4. He led with this funded proposal in the cold market which targeted other network marketers and generated endless free leads of people attracted to a successful system.
   
5. He promoted his company's product in his warm market which built a sizable customer base.
   
6. He developed an awareness for finding leaders in his downline's warm market.
   

To me, this clarifies a distinction between the way a marketer should treat their warm and cold markets.
He used his warm market to sell his products and the cold market to sell a marketing system that would increase their (and his) lead-flow and cashflow.
These steps also show the evolution we all can follow to increase the size of our own businesses.
When we first begin, we must concentrate on increasing our value to others by learning everything we can about marketing and personal development.
Then as we market our knowledge and our marketing system, we will grow a fan base of our own through which we can make upfront cash through the sales of the system, affiliate products, and ultimately our primary network marketing company.
Introducing our company to our family and friends just through a product-style approach removes the rejection and can increase our customer base while we sift through people they may know for people looking to make a change.
Mike placed the highest value on number three, which follows the general rule of thumb in business which is that the fastest way to get rich is to solve other people's problems.
I challenge you to commit to this 6-step plan and watch your business take off in the next 90 days.
