A MUST HAVE ATTITUDE in Network Marketing

BE ENTHUSIASTIC: Nothing but nothing takes the place of enthusiasm. Not even a college education at Yale University.

BE POSITIVE: Don’t let negative friends or relatives discourage you. They will try to take your dream (“What makes you think you can do that?” or “Those things never work.”) but what will they give you in return? Will they offer to send your children to college for you? Will they send you on a cruise

around the world?

BE COMMITTED: People today don’t seem to know what that word means.

BE PERSISTENT: Don’t waste time with people that are totally negative but don’t take them off your list either. Call back every few weeks and let them know how well things are going for you.

BE CONSISTENT: When you get your game plan together, if you do the same thing over and over, you can’t fail. Remember the old saying “Winners

never quit and quitters never win.”

BE PATIENT: It takes several months of consistent effort before you can

really tell how much you have accomplished. Think of yourself as a farmer.

When a farmer plants his seeds he doesn’t get up the next morning expecting

a garden. Even with the best sun, the best rain, the best weather conditions,

the best soil, and lots of care, some of those seeds will sprout in a week,

some in a month and some will never come up. Only time will tell with your

people also. Some of your friends are just waiting to see how you do (we call

them the “wait-and-see-ers”). If you stick around long enough, some of them

will eventually join you.

TRY NOT TO PREJUDGE: Well, he makes a lot of money. He won’t be interested.  

He’s a sales type. She wouldn’t look at this, etc. A mistake like that can cost you tens of

thousands of dollars down the road. So, don’t prejudge, just get down the names.

This was the one thing that all leaders, with all different approaches, had in common.

This was something we could model, and the people could duplicate.

I learned that if there really were any secret to the business, it was this: If you want to reach a certain status, or certain goal, “You have to become the kind of person who would reach that status or that goal”. The talents are hidden within you, waiting to be unleashed. What you have to do is let them come forth. You must eliminate all the negative and lack programming you’ve been exposed to, almost since birth, and get back to your natural essence. The doubts, fears, and uncertainties you have were learned. Now you must unlearn them.

Do you believe in universal laws?

If you’re like most people, you do. You’ve come to believe that things are controlled by cause and effect, and you understand that gravity, centrifugal force, and other such laws are governed by immutable, unshakable principles. If you hit a baseball, it will project forward. If you throw an object in the air, it will fall back to earth. You must plant a seed and nurture it to grow a plant. Next question...

Do you believe the same universal laws govern your own life and business?

Now here’s where it gets interesting. Most people believe these laws govern the

entire universe, but things that happen in their own life are coincidence, chance, and luck.

Fascinating.

When they see someone else get hit by a car, they think, “Why didn’t that dummy look where he was going?” Yet if they fail to look before they step into the road and get hit by a car, they attribute it to “bad luck.” They believe the moon, stars, planet rotation, climates, nature, evolution, mathematics, and physics are all controlled by universal laws. But when they get fired, have dysfunctional relationships, develop addictions, or suffer bad business results, these things get explained as bad luck, coincidence, tough breaks, and other rationalizations—all of which denote them as an innocent victim.

Just how often are you a victim? And just how innocent are you, really?

It’s a fascinating subject. The lament I hear most from people in the business is “I wish I could find more people like me.” Unfortunately, their problem is actually quite the opposite. They have attracted people exactly like them.

Network Marketing works on the principle of delayed gratification. Invest in yourself for a year or two to four years, and then reap the rewards for a lifetime.

To Your Success!
