Thinking big isn't often the problem for entrepreneurs and small business owners. We like to dream and aspire and reach for higher heights. But with this strength, comes a consequential weakness.

The problem is turning our lofty goals into reality. Entrepreneurial people don't much like the detail, even though we know that our ideas only become reality when our head is in the clouds at the same time that our feet are planted on the ground.

To be successful in business, we need both the big picture and the detailed picture. So to give you a hand at getting through from the big picture to the detailed picture, and thus increasing your chances of success, here's a checklist to anchor your vision into daily action:

With each effort to improve communication to customers and prospects, marketers find themselves dependant on the sources and repository of their customer data and communication strategies. 

Advancing technology and additional channels for communication, both to and from customers, has made so much more marketing data available that the next imperative is making that data actionable.  Organization and easy access are the pillars for marketing success.

But databases are usually disparate.  Companies use them for fulfillment and attempt to add on marketing functionality.  These two entities live by very different business rules.  It’s important for marketing purposes to maintain as much credible information as possible, even if some of it is incomplete.  Mailing a catalog or direct mail piece to an address without knowing the phone number or suite number or even contact name is commonly accepted and, due to title inserts or pass alongs at a business, may even result in an order.  From a fulfillment perspective maintaining these elements is vital, especially if the cost of the goods shipped is considerable.

What is Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), or network marketing, as it is commonly known?

Some have heard of it, some have not. Why is it much feared by some and yet adored by others? This is because there are many misconceptions about it. The misconceptions arise mainly because the people who are involved in this business are a varied lot.

MLM is actually a profession, a very viable business and is a big industry. However, due to malpractices by some individuals (out of ignorance or greed), we hear unpleasant stories of people being conned to part with thousands of dollars buying worthless products and in order to recoup their losses, they in turn con their friends. This practice is definitely wrong.

Now that you have joined a MLM, direct selling company, network marketing company, now what?
Statistics show that unless you are making over $300 monthly, 90% will quit. Those making over $300 tend to stay in for life.

So obviously the goal is to at least recoup your initial investment and then pay for the products or services you need to stay qualified for your position. So why are so many quitting then bashing the business model?

In my experience it is due to 1. Poor leadership from your sponsor and upline, 2. unrealistic goals, 3. lack of training and knowledge, and certainly but not least 4. greed.
