It’s been a busy past year and I’m proud to say that great things have happened for a lot of families all over the country as well as internationally.

I will be getting re-engaged in blogging and increasing my internet presence in 2010.  Watch for developments on this blog.

See you at the Top,

Holton and Earlene Buggs

We are here, as always, ready to serve the Network Marketing Community. You will continue to see posts and new information show up here on a regular basis (lately, it’s been semi-regular). No apologies for not being around more – but we have been BUSY! We will also be building a new 3kmg.com site soon. More good stuff and more extensive.

Busy is good and as you all should know we all need to be busy right now. We are in the best months for building Network Marketing Teams and getting great products in people’s hands.

Wrap that around the news of the day (I don’t follow it much – but wow people really want to talk about it) and we have an even better opportunity to allow people to earn extra income and for bargain basement prices.

Where can you go today and find a business that you can start from scratch for a nominal up front cost and make your initial outlay back in the first month + profit. Pretty much unheard of right now. But it can be done and that’s where you have a massive opportunity to help people.

When the economy is not where people really want it to be guess which industry EXPLODES?! That’s right Network Marketing, so if you’re getting started be excited to know that you are in the right place at the right time!

But how do I do it? Or what should I do next? – Go out and TALK TO PEOPLE. That is the only way they will ever find out that you have something that can solve their problems and in some cases quickly – Ladies and gentleman “Be a Solutions Provider”. Find out their “Needs” and “Provide a Solution”

Is that how you do it Holton? Yes that’s it. It’s Simple.

Football season has started! That’s great and I always get excited;however, I’m not watching football right now. I have a choice, like we all do, to watch people play the game of football and get paid millions and bring joy to others OR play IN the game of life and make millions and personally bring joy to many others!

Historically speaking September through November have always been major months for Network Marketing businesses. You notice I said businesses? That’s right, if you have a business (not a hobby), it’s a window of opportunity that will allow you to get some major momentum on your teams.

This is a great time to do a 90 day blitz or a special event launch. Get your team together and plan a launch that will keep engagement high for the next 30 days – 90 days.

Should it be continuous? It depends on what it is. But contests & other events generally shouldn’t run for more than 30 days. But if you have a well thought out launch plan for the 90 days that includes various elements of a contest for a period of time leading up to a team building event you can stretch it out.

I heard this said by a networker – “I have a WalMart mentality – I’m always open for business!” That being said ask yourself a question, if you owned a Walmart would you close it at 5:00 pm and take the weekends off?

Treat your Network Marketing Business like a business for the next 3 months and you will have a business that will pay you for a lifetime!

ARE YOU IN THE STANDS OR ON THE FIELD?

Make the Leap to the Event!

Network Marketing and MLM Events seem to always be a topic especially when an event is coming. And it absolutely should be the MAIN topic. Sometimes you may hear so much about events and the importance of them that you forget the TRUE IMPORTANCE of them.

Events are the lifeblood of any growing, thriving, momentum induced Network Marketing Business. Without events your business will flounder and die over time. The events are the glue that keep it all together and I want to cover Event psychology and why they work so well and get you over 100% return in your Network Marketing Business.

I’m sure at some point in your Network Marketing Career you have experienced event overload. That’s where you have heard so much about an event that you are tired of hearing about it! Well if that’s the case, it’s probably because you didn’t have the money to attend, your team wasn’t growing or you didn’t believe it could help your business. Well on all three points that thinking will destroy your Network Marketing business.

So what is the psychology behind an event and why do they propel people forward to accomplish more than they ever have? Events (not just Network Marketing Events) are designed to bring people together who are bound by a commonality. That common ground may be the product, the concept, the idea or in some cases just to have FUN! Whatever the reason is, it doesn’t matter – the purpose is to get people together to share the bond, the camaraderie, get new information and to know and understand that they have a unique opportunity to win at something through their own efforts rather than just be a part of something (a job).

There is one thing you never want to say to yourself when you are at an event (but unfortunately I hear it every time!)

“I Wish I would Have Tried Harder to Get More People to this EVENT!”

Do Not be the person who utters that quote. Ladies and Gentlemen – I have witnessed life changing decisions being made at events that have changed the financial, emotional and spiritual lives of the people who made them and allowed them to receive riches in all areas of their lives. For that reason alone I will be an aggressive promoter of events. They are too important to miss – too important to your business, your family and your lives.

We’ll see you all at Convention in St. Louis! Watch for the www.43DayDirector.com exclusive launch that will be available when convention starts on August 6th.

The Leadership Training in Sacramento California on Saturday June 21st brought together a roomful of the best Networkers in the Country.  Holton Buggs walked the group through advanced leadership pitfalls and challenges and how to move beyond the Dysfunctions a team can have and Focus on NEW BEGINNINGS.

This set everyone up for a Training on, Sunday June 22, that challenged the old beliefs of Network Marketing and moved the group of over 150 excited participants to New Levels of Action.  When the student is ready the teacher appears and the teachers were there in full force.

Holton Buggs, Edwin Haynes and Bill Fox trained from 10:00am until 9:00pm and the crowd still wanted more.  Network Marketing has been around for several decades but it has never seen the likes of these 3 leaders train in the same room at the same time with a massive level of IMPACT.  The briefings in the Sacramento and Oakland areas were evidence of the momentum created with large numbers in both markets for the Thursday Night Travel Briefings.

And as it is stated “Never miss a training you qualify for”  Thankfully the 150+ didn’t miss it!
