I read something the other day that really struck me about the business of network marketing. This is a business of belief. No matter how excited and enthusiastic you may be when you begin your business venture, you most likely won’t be successful unless you have certain beliefs. You have to have a belief in yourself, a belief in others, a belief in your company and its product/service, and a belief in the industry. If you don’t have a strong belief in all of these areas, then you will get knocked down too easily when the going gets rough. You will want to throw in the towel if you experience rejection or have bad days.Your enthusiasm may start off at a 10, but with a couple of rejections, your excitement starts to wane, and you begin to wonder if this is right for you.
So it is crucial to build this belief in order to have a thriving, successful business that will lead you to your dreams of financial freedom. Anything you can do to build that belief is going to increase your chance of success and will keep you in for one more day, until you start making money.
How do you build belief? Use your company’s products! Nothing is stronger than your own story and testimonial. Be a product of the product, and be excited about it (that is, if you are)! People will be attracted to your sincerity and genuine passion for the service or product.
Listen to audiotapes every time you get in your car – have a mobile university at your fingertips. Use that time driving to and from your J.O.B. to enhance your skills, learn from the masters, and gain valuable information about the industry. Read personal development books – I highly recommend “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olson. Attract what you want in your life by becoming better at what you do and who you are.
Be on your company’s conference calls! Plug into the company’s system that is there to help you be successful. With Send Out Cards, get on Jordan’s Monday night calls, or listen to the recordings if you miss it. There is extremely valuable information that will help you get started the right way. Don’t try to recreate the wheel – he has done it and is a huge success, so listen to what he tells you to do! Plug into the corporate SOC TV every other Thursday night to learn what is new with the company, and to be kept in the loop on system enhancements. Most importantly, go to the events! Send Out Cards has regional and national events, local meetings, Treat ‘Em Right seminars, etc that allow you the opportunity to learn the company’s mission, be a part of their culture, and meet the top leaders who are achieving huge financial success. If you want to know about upcoming events, contact me.
Build your belief in the industry by subscribing to Networking Times, reading books on network marketing, and talking to others in and outside of your company that have obtained financial freedom through the vehicle of network marketing. I recommend getting started learning about the industry with “The Business of the 21st Century” by Robert Kiyosaki. Learn how a skeptic to the industry now believes in this incredible business model to achieve wealth. If you aren’t already in network marketing, you may want to be after you read this book!
Building your belief by doing these things is KEY to making it in this business. No matter what happens in the course of your day, if you have strong beliefs in yourself, those you lead, the industry you are involved in, and your company’s product/service, then nothing will stop you from making it to the top!
