Let's start by summarizing the network marketing tips so far:
1) A = Awareness - that network marketing is a legitimate business model that
can help you earn 'residual income'
2) B = Belief in the network marketing company (solid foundation), the products
or products/services AND, most importantly, your belief that YOU can do
network marketing right.
3) C = Clarity - you have a clear vision regarding what are you going to achieve
and when are you going to achieve it. (Note: I did not mention 'HOW' as
this is not as important as your WHY' (the reasons why you are in network
marketing in the first place.).
In the last blog, we talked about the importance in getting started. This means that you have to get started without first knowing HOW you are going to accomplish your goal.
Let's now take an honest look at what most people do. Yes, they have started, have A (Awareness), B (Belief) and C (Clarity). You yourself may be in this category or personally know someone in this category....AND... not suceeding! WHY?
Jerry 'DRhino' Clark, a network marketing expert who became a millionnaire in his late 20s summarizes well: In order to succeed in network marketing, you need to master your 'internal dialogue' so that you can go through the 3 simple steps and be successful:
1) Get started
2) Go in the process (taking action)
3) Don't quit
According to Jerry, many people who signed up in doing network marketing have not even gone through the process. Many have not mastered their own 'internal dialogue' and therefore not having the absolute conviction that they can succeed in this network marketing industry (simply by following the foot steps of successful network marketers). That is, people tend to give up far too easily.
In order that you will not give up too readily, you need to follow strictly what are required for success. In the system that I am using, we focus on identifying the deepest desire WHY someone would like to succeed in network marketing. We then focus on a special 30-day program to assist people with getting the 'internal dialogue' right. This means that they will then have a strong desire to succeed AND a right mental attitude to do the simple daily actions required.
The whole process is what we call 'Success is in the Process'!
I hope this information can assist you to take action in the right direction and save you years of unnecessary exploration or 'failure' in your network marketing journey.
The "WHY" factor. You are right Viola. We have to fully understand why we are involved in Network marketing; most people join because they've heard that "Tom" next door is making millions from it, and they decide to jump in and have a piece of the cake, "easily". Only to find out that it's not as easy as they'd expected, because they didn't ask themselves the question - "Why". So they quit, and start pointing fingers. If only they'd asked "Tom" how the process worked, and find out within themselves if it was the thing for them. Keep up the good work Viola.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are spot on about the 'WHY'.
ReplyDeleteWhatever we are doing, there are challenges along the way. It is only when we have an absolutely clear vision that we can be resilient and keep the focus on doing those things needed for success.
