MLM – Network Marketing Business – Top 10 Things I Wish I knew When I Started

[ad_1]

First of… I think Network Marketing is the best business anyone

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 still have an income coming in until you can take your

new business full-time. However, there are at least 10 things I wish I knew before

starting my network marketing, mlm, affiliate marketing, home based business,

what ever you want to call it business. Let me save you the many, many

years of searching, hundreds of hours of trainings, and thousands

upon thousands of dollars spent on flying to seminars, buying

audio tapes, CDs, DVDs, and books it took me to find these things

out. If you want to be successful in network marketing you must

keep these things in mind when first starting out.

#10 YOU MUST HAVE A SINCERE DESIRE TO MAKE BIG MONEY

If you do not have the desire to do what ever it takes -for as long as it

takes to make your business successful DON'T EVEN START. You will

only give yourself excuses of why you are not being successful

and end up not only quitting on yourself… but most likely blaming

your sponsor, your company, your cat and your dog… for your lack

of desire. Desire = NEVER QUIT Attitude!

#9 YOU MUST COMMIT TO DOING YOUR BUSINESS A MINIMUM OF 1 HR/DAY

In reality you would want to spend not less than 10-12 hours per

week. That does not include your training, reading personal

development books, or cleaning your office!

#8 YOU MUST SPEAK TO OTHER PEOPLE EVERYDAY

There are different thoughts on how many people you should to talk per day.

All the top leaders I have ever come across say a minimum of 10, but most

have talked to at least 30+. You have to decide how fast you want

your business to grow… the more people that hear your message per

day that faster your business will grow. And remember when

speaking with someone EXITEMENT is key!

#7 UNDERSTAND WEALTH

All wealth can be traced back to spending time with the “right” people.

The “right” people don't get stuck in getting started.

They see a vision of what could be and race 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 to only look spend time

with the right ones. THE RIGHT ones don't get suck in getting started,

have the time and money to start their business or find the time

and money. THE RIGHT ARE COACHABLE!

#5 DEFINE WHAT WILL CAUSE YOU TO STOP

Ask yourself what will cause you to quit. Define the things you are not

willing to do. This definition of what would stop you… must be done with the

attitude of “NEVER QUIT” in mind. Then in your road to success avoid doing

any of these things and go around the stumbling blocks some else puts in front of you.

#4 CREATE A GOAL BIGGER THAN YOURSELF

Put in front of you that what you are doing will help other people.

Set as your goal helping others and then set out to achieve it. When it is no

longer about you, but it's about helping others you will find

focus and this new found focus will carry you through the down

times.

# 3 YOU MUST BE COACHABLE

If you think you know everything… your wrong! What I have found out is

that no one person has all the answers. No matter how much experience

you might have you must remain “coachable”.

# 2 PICKING YOUR SPONSOR

You know the main reason most people fail in network marketing is that

they only receive training from their sponsor. Signing up with a sponsor

that doesn't lead you to the right training -can only lead your new business to disaster.

Sponsor to Rookie training is not a good thing. The industry has

always left it up to your sponsor to get you all the information

you might need as a newbie. Unfortunately, most sponsors are

“rookies” themselves! So make sure your sponsor has a personal

relationship with the leaders of the company. Make sure you get

their contact information. If you are already in a business make

sure you network with the leaders of the company at company

events. Learning from someone that has “been there, done that” is

the easiest way to succeed!

#1 MUST NEVER RUN OUT OF PEOPLE TO TALK TO

This is something you must know upfront. You can't count on becoming a super star by

only talking to five to ten friends. Number 8 sort of tells you

this, but if you make a list of 100 friends and business

associates… what are you going to do after the first week? There

are many ways to never run out of people to talk. Leaving a flyer

on a bunch of cars at Wal-Mart is not going to do it! You either

have a huge number of “resources” – that's biz talk for

‘people'…or you have to go out and find more resources. In my

next article I will let you know more about how to never run out

of potential business associates!
