How to Turn Your Network Marketing Internet Business Into an Apple
I’m not about to give you some old tired magician’s instructions, however turning your network marketing Internet business into the kind of apple I’m referring to would surely be magic worth knowing about.
I am of course talking about Apple as in Ipad, Imac, Iphone… No matter what you might think of Apple, enjoying success like theirs in your business would be very attractive not so?
So why are they so successful? Is it their innovation, superior products, marketing?
What if I was to tell you that it is as a result of something you have too and it won’t cost you a cent?
In a recent TED video, author Simon Sinek explained his powerful model for inspirational leadership, starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” “People don’t buy what you do but why you do it,” he says and he uses Apple as an example to explain this.
It makes for compelling viewing and if it doesn’t make you think about your business and how you communicate your message, then nothing will. This will be 18 minutes of your time very well spent.
So do you agree/disagree? What did you most like about the video? Do you think it will change the way your market your own network marketing Internet business? Please leave me a comment.
If you enjoyed this post please share it on your social networks.
My goal? Helping you achieve yours.

Wow Marcus,
What a great video. I must admit I hesitated to watch it because of the length, but I’m really glad I did.
I love it when people take a different approach and get us thinking from another angle. Totally awesome.
Thanks!

Hi Josh,
I know it’s a chunk out of one’s valuable time but I shared it because I think its message is not only significant but very applicable to our industry and often subtly missed despite everyone always saying it’s important. I hope you do watch it at some time Josh.

Hi Marcus,
If it were an hour and you strongly suggested this video I’d watch it.
I always say that what people want is invisible. It’s the feeling inside the thing. The “what” and even “how” are just vehicles for the invisible “why”, which is the real driver.
Super video, thanks for sharing with us,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Great to have your support my friend. I agree with you and most people would. It is a message one can only start to convey in marketing when one knows what that WHY is.

“People don’t buy what you do but why you do it,” – what a great idea, that’s quite a bit to think about. Why do I do what I do and why would somebody else what to do it?
Love the story, Marcus.

Hi Ana,
I am pleased to hear that you also think that it is quite a hefty question to answer. It is. I have watched the video a few times and it always challenges me to dig even deeper.

Marcus,
Thanks for sharing this video, what Apple does so well with their marketing is they really set a launch and buzz for their products. They aren’t the cheapest but create such a feeling and reaction from their users and create loyalty and those users give reviews, word of mouth, and community that spreads like wildfire to the public.

They certainly are masters at launches Chris. They know how to make people feel special too and that is what works so well for them. Thanks for you comment.

Thanks for sharing the awesome video. It is amazing how obvious some thing are when someone points it out.
I was disappointed that the video was only 18 minutes. I guess I have to go and buy his book.
