What separates the 3 percent from the 97 percent?

Fact, taking a look at the thousands of faces on Apsense today, 90% will make little or no money online.

Fact, 97% will achieve less then their goals and may never be able to leave their job to work 100% from home.

Sorry this is the reality of online marketing and home based business, but landing in the top 10% who at least earn a second income, and grabbing the top 3% who make it big is something that comes from recognition of certain factors and making a choice to grab your spot.

Before we go too far let me tell you I was a top 10%, with a business headed to the top 3% and failed due to a personal injury that sidelined me for 3 months, and not planning ahead and working with a team. When I went down there was nobody that could be me and keep my business growing and with me offline, my business eroded and I had to sell before it took our personal finances with it to someone who could work the business. I now have a growing team and have lost the go it alone mentality which is a vital step to success.

Take a Russel Brunson launch and look at the people who offer testimonials on every launch. Look at the team of programmers and support staff working with him each time he makes a move. His videos show a developed team that can continue even if he were personally gone tomorrow. Cory Rudl had that with Internet Marketing Center. When God called and Cory went on to greener pastures his legacy lived on in the work of his team.

Teamwork alone though will not save your business!

Fact is that a team is only as good as what it offers in terms of value. There are failing teams out there program hopping, there are teams built behind bad leaders, and bad battle plans. I see teams come and go, my first team went because without me there was no leader, no direction, and no motivation.

Fact is most marketers fail because instead of following money they follow people!

Look again at Russel or take a look at Mike Filsame and such. They have made their fortunes off people following them blindly, and most of the followers have made a very small fraction of what these leaders have earned, and often the only money they have earned is by recruiting new followers of that guru. They struggle, under perform, and fail, because they follow people instead of the money.

See the money is in the information and systems not the author. You buy a product such as an e-book and the system or information is bad, you don't follow it, don't read it, are just there for the quick buck of the launch, or God forbid, you do well but have nothing to follow it up with. These things keep you down in the 97% instead of tapping the 3% bracket and saying let me in.

Product choice shouldn't be about thing like the ad I saw the other day which said Tissa G was starting something new, we don't know what it is, but it's got to be great because it's Tissa, and look at what Tissa has done in GDI.

Hmmm yeah, I went for that one, didn't even know what the product would be.

Tissa is always among the leaders of GDI'd leader board but that can be as simple as being in at the top of a program such as PPGDI, a advertising Co-Op, or help from their upline etc.. Fact is it may have nothing to do with anything Tissa does directly. Tissa could have thrown a ton of money you don't have at GDI. Acme People Search, another Tissa launch is pure trash in my books, Tissa don't impress me enough to sell Jack based on his name alone, site unseen, product not known. Sorry Tissa i say the same about Obama, Mike Filsame, Russel Brunson etc..

The product is the money not the who is in it.

A good product needs to hold value greater then the cost. It needs to be consumable, work well, and be something you will use daily personally. E-book folks fail all the time by nailing a one hit wonder and having no follow up. You need to pre-plan how to bring the next must have to the market and it must expand on or continue what was started in the first big thing. Thus I tell people e-books need to be a sideline income not your sole business you must build a passive income.

Mike, Russel, Cory, Joel Comm, etc.. all have passive income. You look at their systems and they have memberships and advertising sales, offer other people's residual commission paying systems and tools etc.. They build them in on the back end. Joel does our number with PPC Advertising because not only can he ensure traffic which makes clicks an almost sure deal too but it's a consumable budget that must be replenished with new money constantly.

The 3% who earn real money online all follow the money and not people. They lead instead of follow. they build back end residual income, and they take less stock in the who and focus on the what while building a multiple stream income business using a team or Co-Op approach.
