Life is a Pyramid!

One of the most common rejections to joining a multi level marketing (MLM) company is, “that is one of those pyramid schemes.” My response is, “Life is a pyramid!”

Family is the first team you are born into and family becomes your first pyramid in life: Grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, siblings, etc. Religion is the next pyramid for many. For me it was going through baptism at our local catholic church. The community you live in is a pyramid for government within our country.

There is the food pyramid, and all kinds of systems put into pyramids. Start at this level and graduate to the next. After step X, then comes step Y, and Z. You start at the base level for Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and the bottom of the spiral dynamics spectrum when born. From birth we are adapting through all levels of many pyramids, not just psychological ones.

MLM companies are tools for individuals to use to earn cash flow. When joining MLM companies you are joining their team. Just like any group, Lions Club, Boy and Girl Scouts, or Fraternities, you are expected to recruit others to join with you. Things are always better when doing it together.

In order for the group to exist, it cost money. A way to make things cheaper is to recruit others to join. Organizations or companies grow and adapt as their sales force changes. The pyramid adapts as the organization grows or shrinks.

Each MLM company has a system. The question is, is the system right for you? Do you want to spend money with this company for the rest of your life? Is this a short time income opportunity or life time opportunity? Will you work hard for a little while and reap benefits for life?

The Internet is nothing more than a system and a pyramid. It is called the Mastermind Group. People coming together to work and grow the pyramid as a team.

Search Engines were created allowing a place for people to gather information. Depending on the search engine, you work as part of their team to ensure your website is optimally configured. This is known as SEO, search engine optimization.

Blogging is natural SEO. Search Engines like blogging sites because the sites are updated frequently and the site is being used. This creates the system for someone to create Blogging Websites such as Wordpress or Blogger.

Blogging is part of the emotional connection with you the reader. Is the person writing the blog adding value to your life? When blogging, any topic is possible, as long as there is a need for people to want the information!

Networks are created; being networked is a big part of business. It is not about what you know, but who you know, and how you apply it. Examples of these sites are: BetterNetworker, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

Each of these sites was developed by a person of the Mastermind that understood human psychology, and the sales process. Creating each of these sites makes the sales process easier. Belonging to these sites creates value for you using the tools of each site, no matter what the purpose.

All the tools used within each site were developed by a person of the Mastermind. Facebook, for example, uses lots of different software code: chat feature, PPC, SEO, Email, blogging.

In the beginning email sites were created to give each person a local address to be found on the internet. You have probably watched as Hotmail, Yahoo, and Google have adapted to the newer capabilities. Now, each site allows you an email, chat feature with updates like web cams, and the ability to belong to a network, just as a few examples of change.

Sales tools for communication are not only email or web cams.
Today’s world is web 2.0, auto responders, sites such as Skype, allowing business to be conducted from all parts of the world at one location online.

Part of adapting to the internet pyramid and the life pyramid is learning these different tools for your own system.

Will you be part of this process or miss the opportunity?
