What it takes to succeed in network marketing
Let's start this out with an easy one.... What does it take to succeed in network marketing? This question has probably been asked more frequently than "are we there yet?" There are any number of answers, however, a common answer is that you must find your WHY? If you haven't heard this before, your Why loosely translates to why a particular person would strive so hard to succeed, i.e their goals and dreams.
I've been thinking about this for a while, I don't think that WHY is the Right word to describe what motivates someone to succeed. I could have just substituted the word "reason", but that would be too easy and normal. That's OK, I've never wanted to be "Normal." Life is too short to worry about what others think, or strive to fit in. I would rather think outside the box and be myself.
First of all, Why is a question. Questions call for answers, not action. When asked a question, we think until we come up with an answer. However, answers don't in and of themselves incite or inspire action.
I believe that a declarative statement is called for. But what word or words fit the bill. Well, lets play fill in the blank to find out. Let's examine this statement. "I'm going to succeed in network marketing ________": (and the fill in the blank choices are)
or else;
or die trying;
if it kills me.
No, none of those sound right.
My Outside the Box answer is the word "Because." Let's see how it fits. "I'm going to succeed in network marketing because_____." Thats it. It's more forceful and descriptive. It allows a person to declare why they must succeed.
So now that I've rambled on enough, let's get to the meat of this blog. In order to succeed at anything, especially multilevel marketing, you must set goals. It sounds lame, but you must write your goals down and review them frequently.
I know it sounds boring and it's not what you want to hear, but there's no magic pill for success in network marketing. It's like asking someone how they lost weight and they tell you "diet and exercise."
I can't stress enough that in order to succeed at MLM you have to focus on "Your Because". You must also set reasonable, short, medium and long term goals. It's been said before, but "you can't hit a target you can't see."
This is just one of the factors that will help you in your journey toward network marketing success. We'll discuss some others later, so stay tuned.
Also, I find it also helps to have photo's or pictures of the reason's your going to succeed. Essentially, your going to succeed, because you want (fill in the blank.) I have some pictures taped to my desks in my bedroom and my home office. Feel free to come up with whatever system works for you. Now that we've attacked the word why and put because in it's place, be sure to set your goals and focus on "your because." Why? Because I said so....."
