Dave Gorby asks...Are you starving in your home based business opportunity?

For many people the answer to this is a definite yes. And for most that answer goes against everything that they have been trained to admit.

People have been fashioned to believe they must tell people that they are doing better than they really are in order to achieve the level of success that they are striving for.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

This is the exact mentality that prevents most people from ever achieving true success!

Why? Because it is dishonest. What most people don't realize is that if they are not currently to the point of success that they are striving for (and most aren't) it is probably not their fault.

Most people in this industry have simply either been taught the wrong things, or never taught the right.

Think about it. Do you want to do business with someone that is dishonest? Of course not. So why would anyone else? When you attempt to appear more successful than you are, it shows. That is definitely not the first impression to make!

If you are new, tell people that when they ask. Just make sure to know your product, service, etc. That is where your true professionalism will show! Even if you are not making the $150,000 a month that you would like to tell people, when you are informed, knowledgeable, and passionate about what you are doing, that is a true sign of professionalism! And let's face it..professional is the impression that you want to make!

This is only a very small part of the beginning of a major thought reprogramming that most need to accomplish in order to get where they are trying to go in the world of Internet marketing!

Dave Gorby is Back in the Internet Marketing saddle!

Hello everyone! 

Sorry it has taken me so long to post. Those of you that know me know that I had some very serious personal issues last year that forced me to take a temporary leave of absence.

Good news is that things are better!

Better news is that...I AM BACK!

While off I was blessed to assist my wife in her dream of having her own premium, home made, dog treat business. You can check that out at www.AbbysPantry.com

The site is still being updated so for those of you that are critical...please be patient.

Now that Abby's Pantry is open, and going well, it is time for me to get back to what I love.

Helping people!

Let's face it...the U.S. Economy is going to Hell in a hand basket!

It is only going to get worse before even thinking about getting better!

While this is very painful news...it has created a flood on the Internet of people looking for alternative methods of generating an income.

That is GREAT news to us in this industry!

Now so, more than EVER, it is vital that you are offering something of value to the "newbie" looking for a business opportunity.

The Internet Marketing Industry has been poluted for far too long as it is!

With the current situation it is vital that you know what you are doing, or not only are you going to fail...but you will take others down with you! I am hoping that is not anyones intentions, yet I still see it happen far to often!

While the industry has changed dramatically over the last year, the problem within the industry hasn't.

LACK OF ACCURATE INFORMATION!

There are 10 million sites promising to teach you how to make money, or offer you an automated self building business opportunity (which does NOT exist so don't fall for it!), or promising you hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, etc. etc.

DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Your online business is just like an offline business. It requires work, dedication, and MORALS.

Word of mouth and referrals are going to be the difference between your successful business, and all of the millions of splash pages out there that are not helping anyone, and hurting most.

I will be blogging again regularly, and am looking forward to it!

If you have stumbled upon my blog (no pun intended for those of us that use stumble upon) and have questions about a business opportunity that you are promoting, or considering, feel free to contact me on skype. My username is dave.gorby

If you don't have skype it is free and I use it daily!

Until next time world...

Hello all…

I just wanted to take a minute and talk to you about what is going on in the world of Internet Marketing and Web 2.0.

Anyone attempting that has ever played their hand at a home based business, online or off, can tell you that there is a lot more work to make it than the average person would believe.
ESPECIALLY if you choose to become involved with an MLM (Multi Level Marketing) buiness opportunity.

There is a huge misconception out there that MLM’s are “Self building business opportunities”.

Truth be told, the only thing that builds itself is failure!

I am about to let an industry cat out of the bag.

There is no such thing as an automated business! Businesses do not build themselves! MLM or otherwise.

One of the biggest reasons for the false belief that you can make money without effort is due to people of a less than scrupulous nature spreading the virus that their “Turn key business opportunity” is fully automated, just pay the fees to get involved and you will get rich. I am here to tell you that the only key being turned by these so called “business people” is the key to start the ignition of failure, debt, depression, and addiction.

You read that right…addiction! See what happens is that people have a vision of financial independance. They put their misplaced hope and faith in the false promises being made, and when they don’t receive it in the business opportunity that they just put money into, that they probably didn’t have to spend in the first place, finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow becomes an obsession.

Even more money is spent on useless software, dead end leads, and the never ending latest greatest business opportunity.

Don’t get me wrong. This is not meant to be negative toward MLM companies. In fact…I believe that Multi Level Marketing can be one of the best forms of compensation possible. The problem is the means of promoting many of the business opportunities out there.

If you are told that a business opportunity is:

a. 100% Automated

b. Completely duplicatable

c. Going to be built for you

Then you probably are not going to want anything to do with it.

I teach people the power of delegation, not the hype of duplication. To duplicate something would be to make a carbon copy of it. We are all individual! I cannot duplicate what my friend Wes Wyatt does. I can take what he does and personalize it to my personality…but if I duplicate it (remember, carbon copy) and attempt to put that exact replica over top of my personality…it is not going to fit! It is not honest! It is attempting to give the appearance of something that you are not.

If you are struggling, overwhelmed, confused, or can’t help but feel that you are not being given “The whole story”, then you owe it to yourself to seek out people like myself, Rex Harris, Val Smyth, and Wes Wyatt.

We have students from MANY different business opportunities so our intent is to see you succeed REGARDLESS of the business that you are in!

Beilieve it or not success is a choice, not chance or luck.

If success is a choice, then failure is as well!

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to read my 2 cents. I wish the best to everyone reading this, and if you need something please do not hesitate to get a hold of me!

Dave Gorby asks “Are you suffering from a broke ass mentality?”

It absolutely blows my mind the mindset that most people I encounter posses! You probably know by now that I am a high profile Internet Marketer, which means, I spend a lot of time on the Internet.

Because I believe in actually being a part of what I do and NOT attempt to create an auto-pilot money machine, I interact with many other so called Internet Marketers daily.

This wonderful industry of mine, that I love, is being polluted and diluted daily with an abundance of people with a mindset ridden with failure!

It would seem that most people couldn’t be rich if you gave them $10 Million!

When I am talking to my friend Val Smyth, and he is telling me about making $85,000 a week, I don’t get scared and say “Oh…I could never make that” or “Come on Val…you couldn’t have made $85,000 in one week!”

NO! I say “I understand Val, that is why I love working with you!”

Or when I am talking to my friend Wes Wyatt and he is telling me about his latest trip to Cancun. I don’t say “Now Wes…you were really on a Cancun based ride at Disney Land right?” or “I could never spend that kind of money on a vacation!”

NO! I say “Sounds like a great time! I am looking forward to the next trip!”

I have never doubted my success. Since as far back as I can remember my success was inevitable. It was just finding the vehicle(s) to obtain the wealth that I always knew was waiting.

I was sharing with my dad recently my daydreams at about 5 years old, sitting in a penthouse office suite on the top floor of a high rise that I owned! I didn’t know what I did for a living, all I knew was that I was in a very nice suit, in an incredible office, and I WAS the boss…not reporting to one!

He got a chuckle out of our conversation.

I don’t only teach people the mechanical operations of building their businesses online, but the necessary mindset for their organization to be successful.

What I have come to realize, much to my disappointment, is that I can only teach mindset to those capable of grasping it.

Which brings a very crucial question to mind. WHY DID THEY GET INVOLVED WITH THEIR BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE???

The fact that they paid money to become an “Independent Representative” of their MLM, or what ever opportunity that they are promoting, should stand to reason that they are making at least an attempt at success. But that seems to be the exception instead of the rule.

Daily I hear “as long as I don’t have to spend any money” or “That sounds great, but I don’t have any money”

I understand the truth behind not being able to afford something, but successful people find ways to get what they want or need.

When my friend Rex Harris and I were first approached with Val’s Prosperity Cast Network “PCN”, neither of us screamed “$2,000! Are you crazy?!?!” No. We said, ok…what do we each need to do to put up the money?

I guess or mindset for success just enables us to think differently than most. I don’t know.

I teach people from all aspects of businesses, and the #1 objection they say they encounter is that people just don’t have the money. We are talking about price tags a low as $33 a month!

If someone cannot see themselves putting up, or finding $33 to be in business, which they insist they want to be in…than that is someone that I wouldn’t want on my team to begin with!

This is longer than most of my rants, I know, but damn! What is going on in the heads of so called “Professionals”?

If you find yourself struggling in your current business opportunity I urge you to ask yourself above all else…ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM A BROKE ASS MENTALITY?

How to start a home based business using the Internet

How to be successful online

When looking into the option of becoming self employed there is a lot to be considered.

What industry are you going to go into?

What product or service are you going to offer?

Who are you going to market to?

How are you going to advertise?

From my ten plus years in sales and marketing I can help you answer these inevitable questions.

1. It is absolutely necessary that you choose and industry, product, and service that you yourself are passionate about! If you are not passionate about what you are doing, no one else will be either! Referrals are the BEST sale in the world no matter what your service or product is. A happy customer tells a friend. And when a friend tells you about something that they enjoy your natural instinct is to check it out for yourself. If someone you know and trust is telling you about it…it must be good!

So PASSION is the number 1 requirement for everyone!

2. You are going to want to market towards your target audience for your specific product or service. Notice I asked “Who are you going to market to?” and “How are you going to advertise?” as two seperate questions. That is because, despite popular belief, they are very different things and don’t allow anyone to tell you otherwise!

So after you have decided on industry, product, and service…it is crucial that you PROPERLY identify your target audience!

If you are selling radial tires you don’t want to focus on restaurant owners, or daycare centers.

While this example may seem extreme, it is very accurate, and I’m sure that you got the point!

3. As far as advertising, it is my experience, that nothing can compete with the Internet! However, this brings us back to number 2. The Internet has anyone and everyone on it. You do not want the majority of your traffic for your newest, greatest, energy drink coming from people that have heart conditions and caffeine allergies.

Once you have chosen industry, product, service, target audience, and lets say Internet as the advertising vehicle, the Internet has taken a serious turn on how people are using it, and you need to be aware of it! As well as trends to come.

Social marketing is a necessity in todays Internet marketing. As are SEO, and Web 2.0.

4. Above all else…SELF BRANDING IS A MUST!!! Regardless of the industry, product, service, audience, etc. People buy from people before they buy from stores, or websites.

For example, have you ever gone to a gas station where the prices were a cent or two higher, but you know the people there? You like them, they know and like you so you will by nature go to that gas station whenever possible. That principle is universal.

Odds are the employees there aren’t even aware of it, but they have branded themselves…not the corporation that owns the store where they are employed.

There are a multitude of so called “Guru’s” or “Mentorship” programs out there for the potential Home Based Business entrepreneur, but do your research! www.ibrandonline.com has an extensive ongoing training in all things marketing and sales.

Live trainings and support. A back office second to none!

While researching your options look at the quality of the website. The quality of material provided. Is this someone posting a quick copy and paste template to a free hosted go daddy domain? Or is it someone that has put their heart into what they are doing. Again..are THEY passionate about what they are doing?

Dave Gorby on having a true Internet Marketing Mentor and Web 2.0

Here is just my 2 (ok, maybe 4) cents on what is going on in the world of Internet Marketing.

For those of you that know me you already know that I am a high profile Internet Marketing Mentor and coach. For those of you that didn’t know…now you do. :-)

I am talking with a gentlemen online as I write this blog and it is just BLOWING MY MIND!

Not only did he have no idea that myspace and social networks are the “promised land” of prospecting, but even after I told him so, his exact words were “I like using myspace for meeting people and stuff”

AAAAaahhhhhhh….THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!!!!

Meeting people! Yes, and stuff.

So here was my explanation to him:

Me: If I could show you a restaraunt where there were thousands of people eating lunch every day waiting for someone to tell them about how they could use capsules to reduce their cost of gasoline, would you just go there and eat or would you share your FFI product with them?
Him: I’ll share the product
Me: exactly
Me: myspace is that restaraunt my friend

The problem most people are experiencing online is that no one takes the time to break it down like this for them.

Why would I tell some one what to do, when I can EXPLAIN to them why we are doing it?

I don’t know about you, but I work with entirely too many people to hold their hand forever. Plus I am doing them a serious injustice by doing so.

I teach my people how to be self sufficient, so they can stand on their own two feet, then show their people how to do the same.

Let’s face facts. I am blessed! I have been blessed with mentors that taught me the things that we are talking about right now. If not, I would probably be reading this saying to myself “That makes sense!” instead of writing it saying “Why aren’t people teaching this?”

Web 2.0 is simply the second wave of the Internet people, and it is not on it’s way…IT IS HERE!

People use the Internet differently than they did even last year. Nor do they respond to the same techniques as last year.

If you don’t have someone showing you right from wrong…you will never know the difference!

My e-mail is gift4me2retire@gmail.com if you would like to chat!

Until next time…
