One of the best known ways to get yourself to do something hard and stick with it is to find a buddy to do it with.
Getting up early to work out, cold calling leads, keeping those New Year’s resolutions – all is more likely to happen if you have someone to do it with.
2000 years ago, Jesus instructed his disciples to “go two by two” when spreading His Word. The Buddha, 500 years earlier, encouraged “Noble Friendships in the Holy life” to reinforce individual resolve to stick with it.
And now, research shows something even more intriguing: seems just the anticipation of help makes the load seem lighter than it actually is.
In one study, subjects were asked to estimate the weight of transparent boxes filled with different quantities of potatoes…
“If the subject believed that another participant was going to help lift the box, her weight estimates were actually lower than if she thought she would have to hoist it by herself.”
Alone makes a challenge seem harder that it really is…
“A hill appears steeper to a heavily laden hiker.”
But
“knowing help is on the way makes the [same] load seem lighter.” – N. Sebanz, Scientific American Mind (Dec. 2006, subscription)
Moral. If you are having a hard time getting started or sticking with doing the hard stuff for your business, make plans to get a buddy to do it with you. Merely anticipating a buddy will add to your resolve and reserves. Imagine when the buddy arrives!
They’re likely very eagerly awaiting you, too.
P.S. Cross-company buddies (A Mia Bella Candles rep teamed up with an Herbalife rep for example) have worked wonders for people in my classes, hundreds of whom have called leads together. Reduces upline-downline stress too. We’re setting up cross-company buddy teams now on Network Marketing Central for any member who wants a ’safe’ buddy to do networking things with. (safe: someone who won’t hit you up to join their business.)

NEW LIST.
The current Top 50 Network Marketing Companies represents the most highly trafficked companies online, as rated each day and updated each week by Alexa. To make it onto that list, companies must be 1) highest ranked (most visitors) AND 2) five years old or more as of the day of the update.
That leaves out all the start-ups – my personal favorites. So here is the
Top 40 Start-Ups list:
Network Marketing companies with 1) the highest internet traffic as ranked by Alexa, AND 2) that are LESS than five years old as of the date of the update. That data is also obtained from Alexa for each company. We are adding more companies to this list.
Alexa, while not perfect by any means, is the most widely used tracking service for website rankings since 1996. Alexa ranks millions of websites.
Rank 1 is the highest; Rank 10 million the lowest.
Remember: The lower the Alexa number (that means it’s closer to being #1), the higher the ranking.
This list will be updated each Monday. Next update: Monday, January 8, 2007.
NOTE: When you click on a company, you will usually get some live humans who are independent reps for that company. Those folks are all members of Network Marketing Central (NMC). For a company that has no NMC member yet, you will go directly to that company page.

Here’s a real world example of how some folks market their MLM business AND products/services:
Our area has an event called a “Homearama” annually every fall. For this event select builders in the area construct a number of houses at a pre-determined site (usually a new or nearly new development) for the purpose of “showing” new construction methods, designs, landscaping, interior decorating, trends, floor plans, gadgets, etc. They also showcase the homes for sale and also the area the homes are built in. There are about 5 cities which alternate hosting this event.
The Homearama is a huge event that all the surrounding communities look forward to every year…..and draws 1,000’s of visitors daily over about a 2 week time period. This is a great opportunity to “reach” the public with a targeted campaign if you plan well. Just imagine the networking possibilities.
For example I’ve seen the following:
1. The entrance to the area where the home tours start goes through a long series of “tents” lined with booths populated by various companies and products. You HAVE to walk through this area to get to the homes….and again when you leave. Can you say captive audience?
I’ve seen a couple groups set up booths in this area offering their products or services (signs, banners, brochures, business cards, videos, etc.). Gifties visitors can take with them go over well (product samples, magnetic stickers for your refrigerator, visors, cups, tote bags, phone pads, pens, etc.). They also have a raffle or contest where some lucky visitor can win free products or services. The typical fill out an entry form with contact info & drop it in a box….with the drawing held the last day (not required to be present).
What’s this do?
First it gains visibility…. munity branding. A few sales directly and lots of interested folks picking up “information” and/or samples. And of course lots of conversations to follow-up on.
Second, the contest/raffle creates a list of potential contacts for follow-up via the entry forms (name, address, phone number, email).
Note: for this to be successful you’d need to have a dedicated team of local distributors willing to man the booth and talk with folks during the events open hours. Also they should have a clear plan for following up with any contacts made.
2. Some folks have even been able to have their products displayed in the homes themselves through relationships or negotiated agreements with the builders, decorators, or event planners. For example how about Mia Bella candles attractively shown in the Master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or formal dining room? How about Noni on the kitchen counter…. or Melalueca on the bathroom vanity….or Earthlink on the computer screen….or Packet8 by the phone, or….well you get the idea.
Also, not just the products/services are shown. You also display a business card rack so interested visitors can “find out more”.
3. Here’s one that’s not so obvious….relationships with other vendors, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, concessionaires, and builders who participate in the event. Your potential contacts aren’t limited just to the “visiting” public. Network with the event organizers & participants too.
There’s a lot of possibilities with an event like this. In my area it’s called Homearama. In other areas it’s Showcase of Homes or something similar.
I suggest you look into it and see if you can take advantage of the possibilities yourself.
