Brig Hart – The Secret to His Success

Brig Hart is one of the biggest names in the Network Marketing industry today. According to nearly all reports of the top earners in the industry Brig Hart and his wife Lita are THE top earners in the industry pulling in almost a million a month. But how did he get there? Where did he start, and can anyone else do the same?

Brig Hart’s History

Brig Hart really is an entrepreneur at heart. In the early 70′s he started his own surf shop because he really enjoyed surfing. He was successful for several years and then in an economic decline his business suffered and everything he worked for suddenly disappeared.

Brig Hart got involved in network marketing in 1978 when he joined Amway. He joined because he knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur and networking just made sense to him. He understand and lived by Jean Paul Getty’s quote:

I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

Network marketing gave him the opportunity to do this. He built his organization in a traditional manner through cold calling and word of mouth, etc. He was very principalled and dedicated because he knew that to be a success you have to follow a system diligently and work on it every single day until you achieve success. He also taught his downline to do the same, thus building a huge organization.

The Secret to Brig Hart’s Success

The more interesting side of things is how Brig Hart built his MonaVie business, which is now his primary source of income.

There is some controversy around how and why he left Amway. There is a lot of talk about him being kicked out, but here’s the main point. When you have established yourself as a leader it doesn’t matter what your company does. You have loyal followers who will join with you in any business. So when Brig Hart set up a MonaVie business he was able to break virtually every company record nearly overnight by bringing over his loyal following of people who had always worked with him.

So why did these people follow Brig Hart? Because of his leadership. Because he believed overall that you have to truly help others to be a success. His idea of helping others and being as valuable as possible to achieve success is really the essence of attraction marketing. It doesn’t really matter how he got his leads or grew his original business. He became an amazing success story because he followed the idea that he had to teach others how to do it to, and in teaching others he created an army of fans and followers that would probably continue to follow him no matter what business he was in. And get this: He provided help for others and came from the perspective of being valuable BEFORE he achieved his initial success. You really don’t need to have a fabulous income to get people to follow you, you simply need a system to give them and the desire to see THEM become successful before even yourself.

If you want to achieve massive success in this industry, just like Brig Hart, you need to start becoming valuable NOW. You need to learn a solid system for success, follow it, and show others how to do the same. You need to visit The Network Marketing Training Center and learn how to finally be an absolute success!

MonaVie created quite a buzz with their launch of the Monavie RVL (or Monavie Reveal) at the end of 2010. It claims to be the premiere weighloss product on the market, but what is the truth behind MonaVie RVL? Can it do everything the distributors are claiming? Here is a review from a non distributor.

MonaVie RVL is a weight management shake. This is itself is not a new concept. Weight loss shakes have been on the market for years! They are primarily designed to curb your hunger, usually by delivering high protein and low calories. They are supposed to stop you from taking in too many calories through overeating. So what makes MonaVie RVL different?

This shake is designed to give you overall health as well as weight loss, so that you are losing weight in the healthiest possible way. As with the other MonaVie products it has acai berry as a primary ingredient, and other ingredients that are designed to keep your body toxin free as you shed the pounds. This is supposed to help you to keep the “glow” in your skin and make sure that you look and feel well as you lose weight.

MonaVie RVL is also a more complete weight management program than some others you see out there. It is not just the shake, but also snack bars and nutritional supplements. This gives you a little variety, and variety will make you far more likely to actually stick to the program. Since the launch they have come out with single-serve packets that make it easy to bring RVL on the go. Basically, MonaVie has made it easy to stick to the program, but you have to bring the willpower to make it work!

So does it work? Well, the secret is that all weight management programs work as long as the person using them has some dedication and willpower to use them as directed. Weight management is really all about the person making a decision to change some of their habits, and then using a tool like MonaVie RVL to assist them in making it happen. One thing that MonaVie RVL has that other weight management shakes don’t is the backing of true belief from the distributors. The power of really believing in a product can make that product much more likely to actually give the results desired as the person using it will use it faithfully and actually change their habits.

So let’s look at this from a different perspective. If MonaVie RVL is a part of a lifestyle change, and you are going to have to make different choices, eat less, exercise more, how is it any different to any other tool? True it does have more antioxidants and has more of a focus on overall wellness as you lose the weight, but this is a minor difference when looking at the mammoth weight loss industry. For a lot of people the answer is that it’s part of an income opportunity. They use the product and dedicate themselves to it and get the results because they have made a decision to market the MonaVie products and they need to believe in them themselves. They try it out because they want to have that excellent product testimonial to share with their prospects. This doesn’t discount that it does work for them, but it is often the added motivation that gets people to stick to it and make it work. They start out believing in it because they believe in MonaVie.

There is no doubt that MonaVie RVL has actually helped a lot of people to lose weight, and the passion of the distributors for the product can only help it to grow in the marketplace. It can be challenging to sell this type of product in the weight loss industry as it is already overcrowded with similar products.

The key to real success with Monavie is to grow a large team of distributors who are equally excited about MonaVie RVL and the other products.

Easier said than done right? Wrong. Success in Monavie or any network marketing business can be easy if you know HOW to market, where to get high-quality passionate leads, and how to train people to become a success.

MonaVie Testimonials – The Truth Behind the Company

If you’re looking for MonaVie testimonials you are really looking to know the truth behind that company.  Is this a company you can trust? Are people actually making decent money with the opportunity? Are the products good? Can you be a success with MonaVie?  Well as a third-party non-distributor I can show you the truth behind MonaVie and help you answer these questions.

 

Monavie Testimonials – The Products

There is no doubt that People in MonaVie absolutely LOVE the products.  They swear by both the taste and the health benefits.  So let’s get more specific.  What has MonaVie actually done for people.  Here’s just a couple Monavie testimonials on the health benefits:

“I have been diagnosed with Chron’s Disease for about 13 years. I have had surgery and had several not so fun trips to the hospital. I have been on prednisone numerous times. I had to cut alot out my diet just to stay out of the hospital. Several months ago, my brother told me about Monavie. He said it got him off blood pressure medications. I was very skeptical and put him off for months. Desperate to get off Prednisone, I tried a bottle of Monavie. I must admit I felt better right away, but considered it coincidental. I am a nurse and have always been a firm believer in medications and hard a hard time believing a juice could me. Needless to say, I had no flare ups while drinking Monavie. I went out of town for three days and forgot my juice. I got really sick. I thought I would have to go to the hospital. When I got home I drank a 8 oz. of Monavie and two hours later felt better. That was enough to make me a believer. It didn’t “cure” as many better have claimed, but it really helps my body control my Chron’s Disease. I have been able to eat stuff that I haven’t eaten in years…no problems. I even was able to go vegetarian, Finally!! This juice has given me normalcy in my life!” – Julie on IBS Help

“My sister-in-law has been a nurse for 40 years in NY, never believes in anything other than drugs, works at the ICU in Brookdale Hospital , Brooklyn NYC. I sent her 2 bottles of the ‘Acai Active Blend’ for her birthday–against the will of my wife (who said she would never take it). She did not try the juice for about a week, so I begged her to begin drinking it, and after a few days she called me and RAVED about her energy level. About 10 days into the regimen, she called and ordered 24 bottles for her fellow nurses, friends and son. This blew my mind. Someone whom I never expected to show any interest is now my biggest promoter.” – Leslie Florida

So people clearly rave about the products and many people have had success with it.  You do always wonder was it a placebo effect or really the effects of the juice, but there are hundreds of MonaVie testimonials on the health benefits around the web if you look. So what about the opportunity?  Are people actually making money with MonaVie?

MonaVie Testimonials – The Opportunity

MonaVie testimonials on the actual opportunity are much, much harder to find online.  This is because income claims can be a legal grey area.  They must also be accompanied by a disclaimer that some people may make no money at all, etc.  So the best way to get an idea of how much money CAN be made with Monavie it’s best to look at their income disclosure statement on their website.  This will give you a good idea of the spread of income within the company

You will probably notice that 70% of distributors are on the bottom rank making almost no money at all.  So what does that say about MonaVie?  Well not much at all, the truth is that most people who start any home based business fail within their first 90 days.  Why?  Because they don’t know how to market a business, so they run out of cashflow when they waste their money on bad advertising and they never get enough leads to get off the ground.  MonaVie recommends getting people to simply taste the product and they will join you, but in the modern world and with the power of the internet if you rely on tasting parties to grow a business you are unlikely to get anywhere.

So don’t worry about finding Monavie testimonials with income claims.  It doesn’t really matter what other people have made, it’s more about what you can do to make money in the business.  You can make money in this or any good home based business as long as you know how to market, how to get high-quality leads for your business, how to generate cashflow through multiple-streams of income, and how to teach the people below you to do the same.  Sound daunting? Make it easy by visiting the MonaVie Training Center, where you can learn step-by-step how to do all this and make any network marketing business a success!  Who knows, perhaps people will soon be reading your MonaVie Testimonials!

Monavie has, in its relatively short time on the market, created a bit of a stir in the health and wellness, network marketing industry. It is incredibly important when reading Monavie reviews that if you want the real picture and to understand if this company really could be what you are looking for, that you read a review from a third party. Distributors can be very passionate about their products, but they have a tendency to only talk about the good and leave out anything they think might not reflect well on their company.

MonaVie Reviews – The Company

Monavie was started in South Jordan Utah in 2005. They are an MLM company that primarily sells acai berry juice through a direct marketing model. They are active in more than 17 countries including Japan, New Zealand, Canada, the US, Singapore and Australia. Their focus is on health and nutrition and they try to assist people to living a more healthy lifestyle by drinking juices that contain both acai berry and other “super foods”. The company has grown very quickly compared to other network marketing companies in the health and wellness industry, and it has produced some very wealthy distributors. But let’s look more in depth into Monavie and see if they really are as good as they say they are.

Monavie Reviews – The Products

MonaVie’s products are primarily fruit juices and foods that contain a large amount of “super foods” that are supposed to keep you more healthy and work as antioxidants. Acai berries have been claimed to be both great for detoxing your body and also boosting metabolism. A boosted metabolism means your body will burn fat far more efficiently and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate would enable you to exercise more rigorously. If you join as a distributor you will probably want to go on an autoshipment of the juice to keep yourself qualified for the most compensation, so it’s best if you do enjoy the product! The bottom line is that the juices are no doubt at least somewhat beneficial to your health, and apparently do taste good. But as the juice bottles can cost around $40 per bottle it is a premium product. You can buy regular acai berry juice from any good health food shop, but MonaVie’s blend is claimed to have more superfoods than just acai berry. And your health food shop probably does not have an income opportunity attached for you!

Monavie Reviews – The Compensation Plan

So what about the money?? Monavie uses a start binary compensation plan. In these plans everyone has two slots underneath them where they can recruit others to be part of their team and sell the Monavie products together. The benefit of a binary comp plan is that it truly is a team effort. As you can only fill two spots directly underneath you when you recruit more people you have to place them under your team members, and people above you have to do this as well. So you benefit both from the work of the people below you and the people above you. You earn money based on the total volume of the team below you based on a points system, and your basic commissions only come from the “weaker” leg of your business, so you have to work to keep your teams balanced.

There are several ways to make money in the Monavie comp plan, and you get different bonuses and commissions as you build your team and reach new levels in your business. So you still do have the opportunity to make some upfront money from recruits no matter which side of the business you place them on. Basically, this kind of comp plan can be very lucrative if you like the product and get in others who are taking action and becoming leaders themselves. But it really cannot be a solo effort, you need to be sure you are joining a great leader and that the people you recruit are really going to go for it and become a success themselves.

Monavie Reviews – The Bad News

Selling juice is frankly a really competitive market, for something that is not actually that vital to people. Today people do care more and more about their health, but if they can get a similar product in the local health shop for less than half the price it can be hard to keep people on your team. Some people will join because they love the product, but the majority join for the money. You need to make sure that your team members are incredibly successful to keep them from leaving and cancelling their autoshipment. To do that you need to train them how to become a success quickly, easily, and cheaply.

The other downside to MonaVie is their training. They tell their distributors to just get people tasting the product. This means a lot of your really expensive product can be going to tastings, etc. Also, that does not allow you to leverage the power of the internet as you can only grow as big as your local reach.

Learning about Monavie and reading MonaVie reviews will only get you so far. You need to start looking at how to actually become a success in a network marketing business.

To really understand how to really use the power of the internet to make your business go global, build a huge downline, and provide excellent training to help your team members achieve success visit The MonaVie Training Center.

MonaVie Scam or Not – The Truth Revealed

Too Lazy to read the full MonaVie Scam article ;) ?? Watch the video instead:

Monavie Scam or The Real Deal? That is the question!

Everytime someone looks at any home business opportunity the question that comes to the front of their mind is, is this a scam?  It’s very important to do your due diligence, get to know a bit about the company you are going to join and find some information that is NOT given out by the company or its loyal distributors.  While they do tend to display a lot of passion for the products and company, you have to wonder if the claims that some of the MonaVie distributors bandy about are real, or just them trying to sell their products.  So let’s look at this question: Monavie scam or not?

First off, what exactly constitutes a scam? According to Dictionary.com a scam is

“A dishonest scheme, or a fraud”

Monavie Scam? – The Claims

This would mean that to be a scam Monavie would have to be making fraudulent claims or somehow swindling their customers and distributors.  Now, it’s important to note that while all network marketing companies have very strict policies on what their distributors say or claim about the products they can never have complete control over every individual.  It is up to them to make sure their distributors are not putting out false claims and terminating any distributors who are.  So we have to look only at what the company is claiming.

They have a lot of claims about their juices supporting a healthy body, helping to increase “joint, heart and immune system.”  As their juices use acai berry as a key ingredient, this is no doubt true.  Independent research has proven that acai is a superfood.  The debate comes in when we ask, how is this juice better than the average acai drink you can get at the local health shop?  MonaVie itself really does not engage in this debate, so does not make any claims to being better.  They do discuss the science behind their health drinks and have resources to their independent studies on their website.  So we have to assume the basic claims of “supporting” health are true and verified.

Monavie Scam? – The Opportunity

Now there are a few golden rules to consider when investigating a home business to see if it’s potentially a scam.

1. Is product purchase REQUIRED to make money? A MonaVie scam would not allow you to EVER earn money without having purchased products yourself.

-You don’t HAVE to purchase products yourself to make money with MonaVie, but in order to qualify and stay qualified to earn money it is easiest to be on an autoshipment.  They do this through points-values.  You can either be on an autoshipment and earn points for yourself, or you have to qualify by getting several customers ordering from you. Most distributors do go on the autoship so they can easily qualify and stay qualified, and also as that way they are using the products themselves and can sample them to potential customers.

2. Do you make money off of just enrolling others? For there to be a MonaVie scam people would earn money directly from the initial fee to become a distributor.

-There is no income for simply enrolling someone in MonaVie.  You do get a bonus percentage on your new distributor or customer’s first order, however they do have to place an order for PRODUCTS for you to make any money.

3. Is there a readily available Income Disclosure Statement? A MonaVie Scam would have no income disclosure available.

-MonaVie’s income disclosure did not have a link on their front webpage, but it was easy to find through their site-map.  Their distribution is typical as about 70% of their distributors are on the bottom rank earning very little.  The interesting thing about their disclosure is it also includes average hours worked per week for each level.  The bottom rank of distributors only work 2 hours a week.  The income disclosure HAS to be there for a company to be covered legally, but I typically don’t worry too much about it as statistically 95% of network marketers fail because they treat their business like a hobby, not a business, and they don’t tend to put in consistent steady work until they achieve success.

Monavie Scam? – What They’re Not Telling Us

Monavie make it sound like it is incredibly easy to make BIG money using their opportunity and compensation plan.  It’s important to note that the health juice home business market is a little crowded, and it can be hard to make your product stand out against the others without it degenerating to a “my juice is better than yours” debate.  Monavie advocates simply getting people to try the juice, they will fall in love and want to sell it themselves, but in this day and age that tactic is simply outdated.

It is also clear that in order to be a success in this business, or indeed any business you will need to put in some work and many marketers run out of cashflow for their business as they invest in poor advertising, or they simply don’t know how to market and never can get enough leads and potential customers to make a go of it.

So MonaVie Scam? No, it’s definitely a legitimate company, but if you want to actually succeed in MonaVie or any home business you have to know how to market and leverage yourself by getting good training before you waste your time and resources on bad or outdated marketing techniques.
