The Most Important Step



Success. What a great word, what a great goal. But what is it? In my next few posts I'm going to go into my definition of success, how to achieve it in Network Marketing and Multi-level-Marketing.

When I got involved in network marketing I know I fell into every trap this industry had devised, I bought everything, hook-line-sinker; I bought the hype first, then in rapid succession I bought outragously expensive leads, domains, I made cold calls to terrible leads, I chased and chased and hounded people until they wouldn't pick up the phone anymore. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I actually thought it was me (and partially it was 'cause I really was a pest, but I wanted to get rich so . . .) until the point where I couldnt pick up the phone, and I couldn't believe in the product that I had chained my future to.

I think most people get into this industry with good intentions (I'm not talking about the ones that pay for a distributorship and then fall off the face of the earth), but the industry quicky gobbles them up with all the different money leechers most uplines advise their downlines to pursue (expensive leads, ad campaigns) or breaks them with rejection. With my own downline I almost want to keep them in a deprivation chamber until we have their MINDSET down pat and they understand the purpose behind what we're trying to accomplish. And I think that is truly the difference between success and failure in this industry. Sure there are talented people out there: the natural closers, the retired business execs, lawyers, Doctors, etc. but really when you break it down their success comes from their mindset--most people haven't been battle tested like this industry will test you when you get into it, the skills come with time and experience, but the mindset is harder to come by. It can be developed over time, but more than time it takes mentorship, and the individual's belief in themself that they can succeed in business.

One of the best resources I have found for Mindset Training is the Mentors on A Mission course. It has so much information on mindset, learnig how to get over the rejection pains this industry will throw at the uninitiated. Go to Mentors on a Mission here. The great thing about this course is it's free with your purchase of a Predator Marketing System This course and this marketing system, when applied to your existing business will absolutly put you on the fast track toward success.

As a free resource for you to use and distrubute in your own downline, please read this Free Ebook Masters of Marketing

Happy Marketing All
