Let’s get something clear right from the beginning: Successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do. If success were easy; everyone would be sitting on a beach sipping on their favorite beverage!
Network marketers, in general, have a common flaw. The flaw is when things get tough they quit. When things get hard; they look for greener grass. Few realize that network marketing requires work, persistence, and commitment. Don’t swallow the lie that network marketing is easy; that money just appears in your bank account while you sleep. Yes, someday that will happen, but not in the beginning.
How do the successful get that way? Successful network marketers started with a big “why.” In other words, their reason for getting into the business was so huge that it overshadowed any adversity that came their way. Their dream(s) far outweighed the disappointments and hardships along their path to success. You see, the path to success is riddled with all kinds of obstacles and trapping. You may even see a few “dead bodies” along the way. What I mean by that is you will run into many who have given up and let their dreams die within them. This is a tragedy!
Network marketing is not a hobby-it’s a business. Every business, in the beginning, is tough. Chances are that you don’t know what you are doing and you will need to learn how to market your product. That is what your sponsor and upline are there to do. If you do not have a supportive upline, there are other people who will help you, including me. You can find them on many of the MLM community websites such MLMJive.com or HomeBasedBusiness.ning.com. There are great folks out there who will offer sound advice when you are in need.
You will need to have a view of investing at least 2 years into building up a solid Network Marketing business. What I mean by that is that you need to invest at least 7 hours a week, part time to reach, what I call, cruising altitude. A 747 expends most of its fuel on take off and reaching its designated cruising altitude. Once reached, the pilot can throttle back. He may throttle back, but the engines are still expending energy…just not as much. That is pretty much what you can expect with your network marketing business. It is in this phase that money will flow into your bank account while you sleep!
Don’t fall for all the hype on the internet. The internet is great, but for the gullible, it can be a nightmare. Anyone that tells you that their system is automatic and requires no phone calls, meetings, selling and has no legitimate products to distribute; I would recommend quickly moving on. The best business is one that has consumable products that are in demand. The health and nutrition field is huge and would be one that I highly recommend.
Here are the facts: You will get discouraged. You will feel like giving up. You will get embarrassed when people ask you how your business is doing and you don’t want to tell them that it’s tough. Yes, network marketing can be tough, but it’s worth it. You will have to struggle in the beginning, but take heart; it gets easier and you will succeed if you press on.
I have mentioned Thomas Edison in many of my articles. The reason why is because his persistence in discovering the secret to making the incandescent light bulb work amazes me. How could someone keep trying day by day-over 10,000 times and still keep going? Everyone thought he was crazy but he kept on going. Why? Thomas Edison had a dream, a big “why,” and the belief that he would find the answer. With all of this in place he could not fail. I would say the same for you. If you have a dream, a big enough reason why you are in network marketing, and believe in yourself; nothing can deter you either. Just don’t give up.
History is riddled with people that gave up too soon. There’s the gold miner that got discouraged and gave up when he was only a foot away from the biggest vein of gold ever discovered (the guy who bought his mine discovered this). Then there was man who searched for diamonds everywhere but in his own backyard, gave up and committed suicide. Later it was discovered that his farm had one of the biggest diamond mines ever unearthed. There are probably hundreds of people everyday that give up just one hour, one day, or one month short of reaching their dreams. Don’t let that be you.
How did successful network marketers get that way? They became successful because of a dream, a burning desire, a huge “why,” and absolute belief that they could achieve their dreams. Now it is your turn to join the successful. Do what the successful do and you will become a success yourself. You CAN do it!
