To succeed in any business, you first need your 'WHY'.
Ask yourself why you want to be successful. Whether it's because you want to earn what you feel you are worth, want an early retirement, be able to decide what time and day you work, support your family, buy a nice car or house, be your own boss, etc.
Once you find your 'WHY', you need to ask yourself how important it is to you and what you're willing to do and how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve what you want.
Once you have your 'why', the next thing is your mindset, because this is the difference in success or failure. With a big enough 'WHY' and the right mindset, people can achieve anything they desire.
What it Means to Have the Right Mindset
Here are a few tips on how to have the proper mindset and success habits to be successful in network marketing.
The BIGGEST problem I had faced when I first started … which caused me to be a pathetic failure and earn no money in my first 2 months was because I was NOT CONSISTENT.
I had no boss to tell me what to do… if I was “lazy” for 1 day, I did not get fired.
I would do the business a few days a week but I was NEVER consistent.
I would do it on a Monday… then take Tuesdays off… then do it on Wednesday… then take Thurs through Saturday off (cause no one works on weekends I thought) and then on Sunday I would dread going to work the next day and work network marketing on Sunday… that was my schedule… and let me tell you… that type of commitment simply DOES NOT WORK!
You have to be consistent
Once I got sick and tired of not making money and made the decision to do the business CONSISTENTLY AND EVERYDAY, then things magically happened and I earned my first check and then second check and the rest is history!
You must be consistent!!!
Here are some other tips on having the proper mindset:
Difference Between an Entrepreneur and an Employee
Understand that you are an entrepreneur and the difference between an entrepreneur is that entrepreneurs are underpaid in the beginning but then overpaid for the rest of their life… while employees are overpaid in the beginning but underpaid for the rest of their lives.
To clarify this…
WHEN YOU FIRST START A JOB, YOU ARE VERY OVERPAID.
You don’t know what you are doing and you need training but your company is still paying you a full salary.
However, once you get your job down and are fully cranking, you are producing much more value to your company than the company pays you.
You are overpaid in the beginning but underpaid for the rest of your life at that company.
As an entrepreneur such as in network marketing, you may not make much money in the beginning…
you are underpaid but once your business picks up momentum, you will overpaid for the rest of your life and enjoy a lifestyle that will make your friends jealous.
Ask, “How Can It Work?”
When things don’t go well, don’t explain why it did not work. And don’t lose faith in the business because network marketing works!
It just did not work for you.
But that does mean it does not work.
So instead of wasting time to explain why it did not work, instead ask yourself HOW CAN YOU MAKE IT WORK?
How can you make it work next time?
This will give you an attitude that it CAN be done but you just have to figure it out.
The Power of Self Development
Learn the unleash the power of self development.
anyone can be successful in multi-level marketing if you have an attitude to learn.
I believe that God blessed each one of us with unlimited potential and everyone can be successful.
But we must give it time for our potential to develop.
Commit yourself to at least 30 minutes a day to read or listen to audios and if you do this over time, you will achieve the success you want!
Having the desire to learn is a huge ingredient to success, as you already know, all the millionaires and billionaires in the world were not born ready for success. Many of them failed countless times, but through they learn through the negative experiences and overcome obstacles in order to reach their ultimate goal. You do not need to have a degree to be successful, you just need to acquire the right kind of skills in order to be good at what you do.
It is important that to know that depending on what business you're involved in, if your business is an MLM type business that requires teamwork, it is crucial that your team share the same passion and drive to succeed as you do. Once of the key skills is leadership, to have a great team, you must become a leader and seek and create leaders within your team to carry the momentum which explodes your business.
