When Are You Going To Stop Cheating Yourself?

As a network marketer, are you cheating yourself? I mean, do you have your throttle on full power or not? The reason I ask these questions, is because I wasn’t giving it everything I had for a very long time and I suspect the majority of people engaged in the network marketing profession weren’t or aren’t either.

You see there must comes a time when really gets it and starts to play full out. At the end of the day there are a thousand excuses that a lot of us seem to use and master, but there are very few excuses that are valid, hold any water or stand up to prolonged scrutiny.

So What Are You Actually Cheating Yourself Of?

Maybe you are cheating yourself of the real chance of maximizing the opportunity that you have been offered, such as the time freedom you have been seeking. Being able to work what hours you want, when you want. Having no boss, manager or supervisor telling you when you can have lunch or leave for the day. That in itself is a very powerful incentive to make it all work.

It could be that you are denying yourself that extra $1000 a month, that could mean the difference between losing your house or paying off that mortgage years earlier.

You see people are sold on the dream of the six or seven figure income and believe me it is there, but some people close their eyes to even the prospect of gaining that extra $500 plus a month. Now that could make all the difference in the world to each individual and their family.

Network Marketers Are Wasting Valuable Time.

When you bring a new person into your organization, you want them to succeed. Would that be a true statement? Yes, of course it is. Then why do the masses fail to spend time with their new person and guide them within the first 24 hours.

You, me and the rest of the network marketing profession, can stop cheating today, by just taking care of new people coming in and ensuring that they are introduced to a progressive leader within the first 24 hours. Also they mentored within the same time frame with their first simple getting started training.

What happens on a lot of occasions is that because the sponsor is highly motivated, they expect their new person to be as highly motivated. Now that may well be the case, but at that stage they are looking for leadership, coaching and some guidance, so sponsors should not fail them at this stage.

So What Is The Answer To This Challenge?

Obviously network marketers should be guided by their up line on this matter of getting started quickly and properly, but understand this. If you leave people alone for any length of time at the beginning, they could well be history. The longer you leave them, the harder it is for them to get going.

So network marketers are cheating themselves by not following simple getting started check lists, that the network marketing company supplies. The new person will not make money or enjoy the benefits of their program, such as time freedom and money freedom, if they do not take caste of the most basic things, like making a list and fully committing.

Network Marketers are also wasting valuable time by not listening and implementing simple procedures at the beginning of their business life. Their lack of early and precise action may well have a tremendous knock on effect on their new venture and on the people they bring into their opportunity.

Believe me this industry is normally very simple and time is wasted on many occasions. This can have a devastating effect on the end outcome for everyone involved.

In Summary

Accelerate at warp speed or as fast as you possibly can. Play full out and don’t reinvent the wheel, because there are people earning massive incomes, in your company, who know how to build fast. Listen and follow what they say, to the letter if needs be. Trust your up line team (the ones with great success) and keep it duplicable and simple.

By following the laid down ways, you will eliminate time wastage and you will avoid cheating yourself and your new team members of the best chance you have or they have of becoming a shining success.

The Statement, “It Means Your Dead.” Refers To The Your Activity.

The full heading should read, “If there are no ups and downs in your life, it means you are dead.” I think it means that we all go through the good times and the bad times.

Life would appear quite boring if everything was a bowl of cherries. Life would become repetitive and tedious if there were no rises and falls. If predictability became the norm or the order of the day, people would start to yawn and fall asleep.

It is much better to be spontaneous and innovative on occasions and create some excitement. Life should be a collection of certainty and uncertainty. We all have to take the rough with the smooth.

The low times are when we find out exactly who we are and what we are made of. The high times should be celebrated, enjoyed and welcomed. Both the high and low times should be expected and understood. We need to be able to handle both the nicely memorable events and those dark times when all seems lost.

Winning And Losing Make Up The Full Circle

In sports, business and other adventures, we must be equipped go through turmoil and the inevitable defeats and losses, to be able to improve, grow and progress. Then the wins, successes and achievements will mean so much more when they happen.

The joy of winning is unbelievable, but it must be tempered by the sorrow of losing on occasions. Even the very best will lose on occasions and that is really okay and a part of life’s rich tapestry and pattern.

Celebrate All Wins Regardless Of Their Size

All wins are vitally important to you and your journey. It doesn’t matter whether they are big or small, your first win or your last. They are all of equal significance or importance and each individual one plays a major part in the whole game.

Toasting a good performance or a fantastic result is the right way to go, but make sure that the reward is in alignment with the goal achieved. In other words, if you have a small success, I wouldn’t book a world trip to. By all means celebrate, but get right back on track very quickly, so you don’t goof off for long periods of time and let your business fall by the wayside.

In Summary

When I mentioned previously, “It means your dead.” I was referring to life in general. Expect some reverse or defeat occasionally. If we didn’t have any challenge we would be flatlining, wouldn’t we?

There will be serious blows, tremendous disappointments, upsets and misfortunes, but I promise you that there will be more nice surprises, major triumphs, great results and outstanding successes just around the corner if you fight for your business and persist.

Network Marketers Can Always Start Over Again

Sometimes things can go awry, you lose momentum and in the worse case scenario you walk away. Hey, it happens to us all, but what can you do about it? Well maybe quitting is not the best option for you.

Why? Because there is a good reason why you started that business or opportunity in the first place, isn’t there? Also it costs time and money that you have already invested.

You can and should step aside momentarily, assess the situation then you can start over again, fresh as a daisy. In fact you should consider starting over again every day, every week and every month. You celebrate your wins big and small, learn from your failures and don’t make the same mistakes again.

Why Don’t You Wipe the slate clean?

When I was at school in the sixties (careful now, no insults) and at the end of each lesson the teacher would erase all the writing on the chalkboard. Yes, I know that you all use dry wipe boards now, but the point is that you can wipe your particular slate clean any time you want.

You are not controlled by your past errors or mistakes and you can start over again at will. It is your choice, not anyone else’s, when you do this.

Now obviously be guided by your own tuition and the experience of leadership. You don’t have to wipe everything out, just the things that appear negative, distracting and will not assist your cause.

You should keep good records of what you have done previously, so that you can use the data or information when planning the next phase of your strategy or business. A good mentor, coach or leader can guide you in the right direction.

The Key To Improvement Is To Press The Reset Button

Never get stuck in that proverbial rut for long. Always be prepared to press that reset button when and if it is required. It keeps things fresh and exciting, instead of staid and boring.

Pressing the reset button does not have to mean a total wipeout of everything that has happened in days gone by, just the ineffective or inefficient parts of the game plan.

You should avoid dwelling on those things that have not worked for you at all costs, other than to learn from and to make sure that there is no repetition.

We have all heard the quote, Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Did you know that some people, obviously not you and me, keep hitting their head against a brick wall, get absolutely nowhere and end up with a splitting headache.

Now hopefully you are becoming a more experienced person within the network marketing profession and wouldn’t keep following the same paths that haven’t worked for you previously?

In Summary

Try and avoid finding yourself in that network marketing coffin, you know, that rut with the ends knocked out, bit like a trench really.

Keep things alive and kicking. Find out what works for you and others and implement those strategies. You are going to make mistakes, but that is ok, we all do. Just be prepared to tweak and change things to progress further.

Why Is Important That Network Marketers Are Authentic?

If anybody wants to build a large group or organization in network marketing then they must ensure that they are totally authentic in every way. This would be about being original and not counterfeit, therefore worthy of trust, reliance, or belief.

One misleading, negative or incorrect statement made or action carried out, can destroy all of the good work a leader in network marketing has put in previously.

A leaders authenticity will be seriously undermined if they are caught in a lie or similar. It all means that a leader should tell it like it is and from the heart, not sugar coating anything or becoming indifferent to the outcome of what they say or do. 

Being authentic for a network marketer is caring that people receive accurate information. training and coaching, not false assistance or the promise that never materializes.

Being authentic is about people knowing who they are and not trying to be someone else.

So are you worthy of acceptance in your world? You cannot be who you are not, because your true colours will shine through eventually. As an example, if you don’t know something, then you must say that you don’t know. But then tell that person, that you will find the answer and get back to them as soon as you can.

What Does ‘Being Authentic’ Mean?

‘Authentic’ is a descriptive and powerful word, deserving the space to breathe. So here I feel to shine a little light on the subject by sharing a perspective on what being authentic really means, perhaps even dispelling a few myths in the process.

‘Authentic’ means from the source or origin. Being authentic in a spiritual sense means ‘as expressed directly from the source’, through the soul. It is the raw, naked, unhindered expression of beingness of the soul. Authenticity is a quality of being. That’s why we say ‘being authentic’ not ‘doing authentic’

http://wakeup-world.com/2013/04/12/what-being-authentic-means-and-what-gets-in-the-way/

You Know You Have Developed Authenticity When You Are Undoubted And Unquestioned

It is vital that others do not find flaws in your character and in what you say. They must feel comfortable around you as a leader and never doubt or question your words. This requires you as a leader to speak the truth and teach the right stuff.

It Pays To Be An Authentic Leader

Being authentic has a knock on effect on your both your pay packet and reputation. Your true self is your true self and you cannot shy away from that. Inauthenticity will drive people away from you, whereas authentic magnetism will draw people towards you. So do your utmost to become that authentic professional.

Always Aim For Authentic Happiness

Your self image, attitude and your smile must be genuine and not false, because people will see straight through insincerity. You should display authentic happiness and not some canned happy grin, which people will dismiss very quickly and be repelled by you and not attracted to you. Remember happiness has to be the way to build a network marketing business. Be business like by all means but not stern along with it.

In Summary

Any leader in our profession must be bona fide, the real deal and pukka, or as the Aussie’s say fair dinkum. Because people smell a rat and will not want to associate with you. So don’t try to be who you are not. Know your business and never disguise your lack of success, activity or knowledge.

You know how to be authentic and there is never any excuse for anything other than true authenticity. A lack of authenticity will deplete your followers or numbers quite rapidly. In fact you may well find yourself very much alone in the future, if you not become the authentic leader that will all know you can become. Never take short cuts on your way to the top.

Why Must Network Marketers Employ Lasting Endurance?

Endurance is one of the most important traits to embrace on your journey as a network marketer. Being an enduring kind of person does not only apply to the network marketing profession. It applies to virtually everything that is worthwhile or significant in the field of achievement.

You are not going to conquer Mount Kilamanjaro or take part in a triathlon unless you make endurance your companion. But in our profession it is vital that each individual that seeks to be the very best at what they do, understand that bearing pain hardship and learning endurance are crucial elements of any highly successful achiever.

Are You Ready For Rejection?

The power of enduring in network marketing is not based on physical pain, but is based on the numbers game, the percentages, and putting up with rejection and disappointment. You must learn how to withstand stress and unexpected twists and turns.

Endurance is all about staying the course and not letting anything shake your dedication and belief on the journey. Most network marketers do not have endurance, not because they are incapable, but because they lack the stamina, strength of character and persistence required in order to make it.

Are You Strong Enough?

Do you have the strength and ability to continue or last to reach the right outcome, for you? Welcome adversity as your buddy, the real test of your faith will be represented by your longevity and commitment to the task at hand. Because when you are confronted with prolonged stressful effort and activity, you will either wilt or get stronger. It will all be worth it in the end, if you remain on track, totally focused and gain more momentum as you move forward progressively. I promise you that.

Endurance is the act, quality or power of withstanding hardship or stress.

There are going to be a lot of trials and tribulations on your unique journey. Are you ready to for the bucking bronco or will you shy away from the hurdles, obstacles and adverse conditions you come across? 

So when the fatigue starts to seep into your mind and body, what will you do? Give up, grind to a halt or buckle with the strain?

This is one of the main reasons why only the best people make it, because the ones who dig in and are prepared to deal with anything that they are confronted with, will endure until the end.

In Summary

So, which type of person are you going to become? A tenacious bulldog that hangs on or a timid and scared rabbit who goes off to nibble a carrot and turns his back on the fray. I hope you are the bulldog who gets his teeth into this profession and gets the job finished.
