MLM – Network Marketing Business – Top 10 Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started
First of all… I think network marketing is the best business out there.
trying to get away from the “rat race” of being an employee could
ever find. It gives you a way to start your own business part:
time and continue to receive income until you can take your
new full time business. However, there are at least 10 things I wish I had known sooner.
starting my network marketing, mlm, affiliate marketing, home based business,
whatever you want to call it business. Let me save you the many, many
years of searching, hundreds of hours of training and thousands
over thousands of dollars spent flying to seminars, buying
audiotapes, CDs, DVDs and books, it took me finding these things
outside. If you want to be successful in network marketing, you must
keep these things in mind when you first start out.
#10 YOU MUST HAVE A SINCERE DESIRE TO EARN A LOT OF MONEY
If you don’t have the desire to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes
what it takes to make your business successful DON’T EVEN START. You’ll
just give yourself excuses for why you’re not succeeding
and end up not only giving up on yourself… but probably blaming yourself
your sponsor, your company, your cat and your dog… for your lack
of desire Desire = NEVER GIVE UP Attitude!
#9 YOU MUST COMMIT TO DOING YOUR BUSINESS A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR/DAY
Actually, you would like to spend no less than 10-12 hours per
Weekend. That does not include your training, personal reading
development books, or cleaning your office!
#8 YOU MUST TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE EVERY DAY
There are different thoughts on how many people you should talk to per day.
Every top leader I’ve come across says a minimum of 10, but most
I’ve talked to at least 30+. You have to decide how fast you want
your business grows… the more people who hear your message by
the day your business will grow faster. And remember when
talk to someone EMOTION is the key!
#7 UNDERSTAND WEALTH
All wealth can be traced back to spending time with the “right” people.
The “right” people don’t get stuck getting started.
They see a vision of what could be and they run towards it!
#6 YOU MUST UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE FAIL
If you understand that most people fail because they spend too much
time talking to the wrong people, you would know that just watching time go by
with the correct ones. THE RIGHT ONES don’t have a hard time getting started,
have the time and money to start their business or find the time
and money. RIGHTS ARE COACHABLE!
#5 DEFINE WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STOP
Ask yourself what will make you quit. Define the things you are not
Willing to do. This definition of what would stop you… must be done with the
“NEVER GIVE UP” attitude in mind. Then, on your way to success, avoid doing
any of these things and overcome the obstacles that others put you.
#4 CREATE A GOAL BIGGER THAN YOURSELF
Put in front of yourself that what you are doing will help other people.
Set yourself as your goal to help others and then set out to achieve it. when it’s not
more about you, but it’s about helping others you’ll find
focus and this new found focus will take you through the bottom
times.
#3 YOU MUST BE A COACH
If you think you know everything… you’re wrong! What I have discovered is
that no one person has all the answers. No matter how much experience
you may have to remain “trainable”.
#2 CHOOSE YOUR SPONSOR
You know the main reason most people fail in network marketing is that
they only receive training from their sponsor. Sign up with a sponsor
That doesn’t get you into proper training, it can only lead to disaster for your new business.
Sponsoring the rookie lineup is not a good thing. the industry has
he always left it up to his sponsor to get all the information
you might need as a newbie. Unfortunately, most sponsors are
“newbies” themselves! So make sure your sponsor has a
relationship with company leaders. make sure you get
your contact information. If you are already in business, do
be sure to network with company leaders in the company
events. Learning from someone who has “been there, done that” is
the easiest way to succeed!
#1 YOU SHOULD NEVER RUN OUT OF PEOPLE TO TALK TO
This is something you should know in advance. You can’t count on becoming a superstar by
just talking to five to ten friends. number 8 spell tells you
this, but if you make a list of 100 friends and businesses
associates… what are you going to do after the first week? There
There are many ways to never run out of people to talk to. leaving a flyer
in a lot of cars at Wal-Mart won’t do it! you neither
have a lot of “resources”: that’s business talk for
‘people’… or you have to go out and find more resources. In Myself
