One of the things I love so much about network marketing is the people. As you listen to this training, pretend we’re sitting in your kitchen — or your living room, or your office — and we’re having a conversation about starting your network marketing business. Or maybe you’re restarting your network marketing business. Maybe you started once before, stumbled a little bit, and need to restart. It’s OK. I want to help you build new muscles in this profession. In this program, I’m going to share with you everything I wish someone had shared with me when I first got started in network marketing. If you start right, you can save yourself so much challenge, anguish, and grief. You don’t need to suffer through the school of hard knocks. I’d like to save you from that pain. That’s the purpose of this course. I want you to believe in yourself. The vehicle is there. All you have to do is get in and drive. I want to personally walk through the process with you. This is less of a “how-to” training program and more of a conversation on how we can work together to help you achieve your goals in Network Marketing, and do it fast.“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” – Henry David Thoreau The simple act of walking can be a tremendous boost to your focus, productivity, clarity of mind, not to mention your health and waistline. Recently a fellow blogger wrote to me talking about how many pounds she lost on vacation because she walked all day long — something many of us have experienced. She ended by saying, “If only I could find the time to walk 6 hours a day.” That got me to ask — why not? Why can’t we work out a routine where we walk all day long? What follows are a couple of radical but incredibly fulfilling and productive changes from most people’s daily routine. I think they’re worthy of consideration if you: » have any control over your schedule; » can work from different locations; » want to get more active and trim your waistline; and » need to find new ways to focus and get important things done. I recently tried both these routines and loved them, and am working them into my life in different ways. 103 1. The Walking Vacation Working Routine I love going on vacation, not only for the food and sights and history and culture and people, but for the walking. You get in amazing shape by walking around all day, exploring, taking frequent breaks but staying on your feet for at least half the day. Why should we reserve this fantastic routine to vacations? Just because we need to get work done? Consider a routine that consists of alternating short walks with work: 1. Walk for 20-30 minutes to a location: coffee shop, library, park, beach, cafe or bistro, peaceful rest spot, etc. Don’t use mobile devices as you walk – remain disconnected. 2. Work or read for 30-40 minutes: write, take notes, read, respond to emails, design, meet with a colleague or client, make calls, whatever. You can also have coffee, some water, fruits, a small meal, and so on. 3. Repeat as many times as you can. This is a bit of a nomadic work schedule, roaming from one place to another, but it has numerous benefits: 1. When you walk, you can think, which is something that’s hard to do when you’re sitting and distracted all day. When you get to your destination, write down all the notes from your walking contemplation. 2. When you walk, you can also clear your head, meditate, or just enjoy your surroundings and relieve stress. 3. You get into tremendous shape by walking so much. 4. Your work will also be more focused, because you have less time to work. Use the 30-40 minute bursts of work for important tasks that you think about as you walk. 104 5. Some stops can be in spots without a wireless connection, which means you’ll get more work done without the distraction of the Internet. 2. The Disconnect and Connect Working Routine A number of people have announced vacations from the Internet, when they go a few days or a week or even a month without any connection — on purpose. This serves as a way for them to reconnect with life, to find focus and get important things done, and to enjoy the peace of disconnection. But why make it an occasional “cleanse”? Why not build it into your routine? Consider a routine such as the following: 1. Disconnect for a day (or two). No Internet connection — perhaps no computer at all if using your computer is too much of a temptation to connect. Use an actual paper notepad and pen, writing and brainstorming and making pages of notes or sketches. Make phone calls instead of connecting via email or IM. Meet with people in real life, and get outside. Get a ton of important work done. No mobile devices except for actual phone calls. 2. Then connect for a day (or two). Take all the notes and work you did during your disconnect, and type them up and email them and post them online and so forth. Answer emails and get other routine tasks done, and then prepare for your next day of disconnect. 3. Repeat. You can vary the number of days you’re disconnected or connected, finding the balance that works for you. While some may feel this will limit the work they can do, I think it’ll actually do the opposite: you’ll get more done, or at least more important tasks done, because you won’t be distracted. 105 You’ll also find it a calming change from the always-connected. It’s a peaceful routine. Conclusions The purpose of these two routines isn’t to tell you how to work, because we must each find the style and routine that works for our particular job. It’s to show you that change is possible, and that if you think outside the usual, you can find some exciting possibilities. You don’t need to do these things exactly the way I’ve outlined above, but you can find a blend that works best for you. Perhaps a hybrid routine that uses both concepts, or a once-a-week walking or disconnect period. Integrating walking into your work routine can do wonders for your fitness and for your focus. That’s something you can’t find if you’re sitting all day. Integrating disconnection into your work routine will allow you to get even more done, and to find peace of mind. I urge you to consider both, and see how they can make your life better.
Arvind upadhyay on Network marketing
Network marketing or Multi-level Network Marketing (MLM) is a method of marketing that makes use of independent sales reps as a way to reach a wider range of networks, where conventional methods such as traditional online or offline advertising wouldn’t work. It is a very popular business opportunity for people looking to work part-time doing flexible jobs. Hundreds of companies utilize this method, including some well-known brands such as Avon, Tupperware and Mary Kay Cosmetics: these companies and their respective associates hire a ‘sales force’, much like insurance companies have been doing for years, and they use these individuals to reach networks such as friends and family. Ever come across an ad on TV using the term “Independent Insurance Agent”, or something similar? These individuals are not really employees of the company; they operate independently by purchasing a product sample starter kit, which usually costs a few hundred dollars, and with that they get an opportunity to sell the product line to their own contacts, friends, family, etc. These types of programs rely on an individual’s ability to influence their network and sell products; and when properly executed, both parties benefit. Many network marketing programs require participants to recruit more sales reps, and as a participant adds to their own “downline”, sales made by the new recruits generates income for those above them. 4 Compensation cannot be made exclusively on the basis of recruitment: instead, it should be based on the ability to sell company services and/or products. If a network marketing program generates revenue almost entirely from these recruitments then it may be illegal, and by definition would be a pyramid scheme. A network marketing program is usually exempt from traditional business regulation and state and federal laws don’t define it as franchises under franchise law, so you may need to do some research before putting in any money.
. What do you want out of your network marketing career? Most people who begin in network marketing want to get their investment back, have some success, make some profit, and see what happens. As you get started, your reasons will drive everything. Your reasons will push you through the pain. They will cause you to act, maybe even to face your fears. Strong reasons are strong drivers. Weak reasons sometimes aren’t enough to drive you to success. Get a clear picture in your mind. Why are you doing this? If money was not an object, what would you want to do with your life? Maybe you want a nicer house, nicer car, or a better school for your kids. What is it?
2. What are you willing to give up to get it? Time Think about how much time you can carve out of your current day to build your future in network marketing. How much time can you invest? If your reasons are strong, you’ll figure out the time. Do you spend a lot of time on sports or other recreation that you can put aside, and focus on what you need to do to get your business started right? Money It will also cost you some money to get started. You will need to invest some money into your business. You will need to buy some books, attend some trainings, travel to events in order to learn necessary skills. You might need to put some hobbies on hold while you create a new income stream. Habits A lot of people have habits that they can change. Many people put in the minimum effort at work and then come home and turn off completly. Or they use all of their leisure time to hang out with friends and waste hours, days, weeks. Others procrastinate, blame others, or sit back and wait for someone to tell them what to do instead of taking initiative. Exercise: How much time can you carve out of each day to build your future? How much money are you willing to invest in to your business to build it right? What do you need to give up or put aside while you do this?

What are the secrets to building an ultra-successful network marketing business? If you were to ask 30 top distributors and industry leaders, you’d get 30 different answers with many areas of commonality. Each would also possess some totally unique insights into what it
takes derived from their own field experiences that would not necessarily be shared by the others.
For more than 50 years, throughout the great profession of network marketing, the gift of a life-changing income, the opportunity to take part in fun and fulfilling work, and the chance to forever impact the lives of countless others has been shared by many top leaders and expert trainers in their own ways. Each of these extraordinary individuals has been successful in conveying the essential principles that have allowed their students (downline) to go out and touch the lives of countless others, creating wealth and with it, personal freedom in the process.
Multi-level marketingMLM is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is
compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales ofthe othersalespeople thatthey recruit.This recruitedsales force isreferred to asthe participant's"downline", andcan providemultiple levels ofcompensation. Other terms usedfor MLMinclude pyramid
selling, networkmarketingCompanies that use MLM models for compensation have been a frequent subject ofcriticism and lawsuits. Criticism has focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid
schemes, cult-like behaviour, price fixing of products, high initial entry costs (for
marketing kit and first products), emphasis on recruitment of others over actualsales, encouraging if not requiring members to purchase and use the company'sproducts, exploitation of personal relationships as both sales and recruitingtargets, complex and sometimes exaggerated compensation schemes, the companymaking major money off its training events and materials, and cult-like techniqueswhich some groups use to enhance their members' enthusiasm and devotion.
Most network marketing companies operate as some form of multi-level marketing plan, where the company provides a product or service and assigns agents to sell it. This setup gives the sales reps an opportunity to earn a commission by selling products, and recruiting new reps and growing their own little network. Direct marketing works in a similar fashion, where a product line is launched to the market, and the company invests in a range of marketing materials including training and tools to help the new investors become successful. Commission largely depends on the number of items sold over a period of time and if there is an existing market to tap into, products can sell out in large volumes. Individuals seeking out a more family-friendly type of network marketing could try out party plans, which are popular with parents who want an additional revenue stream. Party plan systems require an initial investment to create websites, buy product demons and relevant marketing materials, but their flexible scheduling makes them ideal for anyone splitting their time between the company and other responsibilities. Technology allows sales representatives to expand existing networks and tap into new ones in order to establish a wider revenue stream. As their 7 down-line expands, so does the commission and with a big-enough downline your leg work reduces and you start earning from the new reps. But before you get to this point, you have to select the right type of system and have a plan of action. The different types of networks Here are the different structures available in network marketing: 1. Unilevel Structure This system allows you to earn from your frontline and it doesn’t limit the number of people you can sign. It’s a pretty old system and it’s certainly not the most lucrative but it does promote cross-line competition, which means a higher chance of expansion. 2. Stair Step Breakaway Plan Perfect for the aggressive marketer, this plan is excellent if you have plenty of time to dedicate to sales. The higher you go up the steps, the more you break up from your own up-line, and in the end you’ll only have people on your down-line, which means people will stop earning from you. If for instance you’re supposed to breakaway at step 7, your up-line won’t earn from you anymore, and you will get all commissions from anyone below you. 3. The Binary System 8 This system has been popularized by Questnet and it takes significant dedication to earn from. You only get two down-lines with this plan and new sign-ins are automatically under your down-line. In order to make money you have to earn from both down-lines; so when picking out this type of plan, try to get one where you can carry over extra points from the less active binary side. 4. Forced Matrix Plan This system aims to promote teamwork and it allows newcomers to earn high commissions by combining forces with fellow members. Because it has a defined frontline, the system allows members to focus on signing more people in order to earn on higher levels.
To really succeed in this industry you need to use a network marketingstrategy that is proven to bring results. Save yourself years of trialand error by using proven methods that have been pioneered by theindustry‟s top earners.Most people new to network marketing don‟t even thing about a network marketing strategy when they first open their business. Aftersigning on the dotted line, purchasing some product and a distributorkit, they plunge ahead without any training, planning or goal setting.Almost all the time, the person fails and then blames the networkmarketing industry, when it is really not the fault of networkmarketing.I notice that many people do not treat network marketing like a realbusiness. Any real business that you would open in your own communitywould have a business plan, and a marketing plan. Your networkmarketing business is the same.An effective network marketing strategy requires that you think long,hard and seriously about what it actually takes to succeed in thebusiness. No matter what company you are in, your strategy will alwaysinclude these three components
Leverage
Simplicity
Duplication
Many people are scared away from network marketing, also known as multi-level marketing (MLM), because of all the myths and misunderstanding about this type of business. Part of negativity comes from reported low MLM success rates.1 However, a multi-level marketing business isn't destined to fail any more than any other business. Regardless of the home business, you start, success comes from doing the work to build it.
For some reason, many people don't view their MLM business as a business, like they would if they opened a franchise or started a business from scratch. One of the most important things you can do to ensure your success is to treat your MLM venture as the business it is.
To stay safe from pyramid schemes and MLM scams, arm yourself with knowledge. Learn about the direct sales industry as a whole, research MLM companies carefully, and determine if you're a good match with your sponsor. The truth is, while you can get rich in MLM, statistics show that less than one out of 100 MLM representatives actually achieve MLM success or make any money.1 However, that's not necessarily the MLM business' fault. Most athletes never make it to the Olympics, but that's not sport's or the Olympics' fault.
Any great feat requires knowledge and action.
Find a Company With a Product You Love
Too many people get caught up in the hype of potential big income from MLM, that they don't pay enough attention to what the company is asking you to sell. You can’t sell something or share your business if you don’t genuinely have pride in what you are representing. Do your MLM research and partner with a company that has a product you can get excited about. Don't forget to look into the company's compensation plan before you join and make sure it is favorable to you.2
Be Genuine and Ethical
One reason that direct selling gets a bad rap is that many representatives use hype and sometimes deception to lure in new recruits.3 This leads many to believe that the MLM companies themselves encourage this behavior when in truth, they don't.
Legitimate MLM companies want you to be honest in your dealings with customers and potential recruits. If you love your product, your enthusiasm is enough to promote it. Just make sure you're not over-the-top or making exaggerated or false claims.
Nothing will annoy your family and cost you and friends, more than constantly pestering them about your business. There's nothing wrong with letting them know what you're doing and seeing if they have an interest, but if the answer is "no," let it go.
Many companies suggest making a list of 100 people you know, and while that's not wrong, you should consider that most successful MLMers have very few people from their original list of 100 people in their business.In most cases, friends and family who are in the business often come AFTER seeing the MLMer's success. Success in MLM comes from treating it like any other business in which you focus on the people who want what you have to offer. That means deciding who the target market is for your productsservices, as well as the business opportunity.
One of the biggest mistakes new MLMers make is looking at everyone (including friends and family as a potential customer or recruit.This is one area where the MLM industry gets it wrong. Like any other business, you're going to have greater success and efficiency if you identify your target market and focus your marketing efforts at them.
Many MLM sponsors will have you focus on recruiting new business builders; however, your income, in legitimate MLM, comes from the sales of products or services (whether through you or your recruits).5 Further, customers who love the products or services can more easily be converted into new business builders.
Just like any other business (home-based or otherwise), getting the word out about your product or service can benefit your target market is the key to generating new customers and recruits. Some ideas include sharing a product sample, inviting a neighbor to host a product party, or starting a website or social media account.
Know Your Target Market Very Well
To be great in what you want to do, you must know your well and gauge how best suited they are for small business opportunities. Be sure to keep in touch with their innermost desires and their needs. You need to understand what drives your audience in life and how they wish to improve their lifestyle.
You need to look at your audience as not only spectators but as people who have different needs and interests. One thing that can help you do this is to always keep an eye out for the monitoring dashboard.
If you know the people interested in leading a different and more satisfying life, this knowledge will rapidly enhance your network marketing.
Make Sure You Have Your “Why” Established
It is very important to acknowledge why you decided to become a network marketer. This WHY is your major driving force and the reason you have chosen this field.
The reason for choosing this field could be anything. It can be your family, your need to gain financial freedom, or have some free time in your hand. Make sure your reason is very strong. You can write down your list of reasons on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place. You can take a look at it on the days when you feel low or face speed bumps in every corner.
You have to make sure your ‘Why’ is big enough to drive you until the end. If that’s not the case, you don’t have much scope in succeeding in this field.
Do Not Chase Your Family or Friends
Not many know this tactic, but one of the first things that network marketing companies ask you to do is prepare a list that includes all your friends and family members. This list will help you reach out to your near ones with your home-bound business goals. This list of your close ones is called the warm market segment.
The worst thing that can happen here your personal life and friendships would make your future meetings awkward.
It is best if you leave your friends and family away for a little while. Just keep them tucked away until you are able to understand prospects regarding network marketing and recruiting.
If you are lucky enough to support an experienced network marketer, then don’t think twice and just go for it.
Let’s make this very clear right from the start. When you are dealing with any member from the warm market segment, you don’t ever have to chase, beg, guilt or attempt to convince anyone to be part of your opportunity.
As per your discretion, and when the time is right warranting your approach, you can check to see if your family or friends are willing to try out your small business home-based opportunity.
As a professional network marketer, you should never chase your family members or friends or even attempt to convince them to take interest in this opportunity.
Choose a Couple of Marketing Strategies to Master at a Time
The best way to understand network marketing strategies is by taking baby steps. Don’t push yourself to learn and accomplish several marketing projects at the same time. Just like other network marketing businesses, you have a learning curve to overcome here as well, so just be patient.
It is not uncommon for people to get discouraged when they don’t get what they had planned. With sheer patience and perseverance, you will overcome success and accomplish your business goals.
An easy way to go about this is to keep an eye on what other successful network marketing experts are doing. Observe their patterns and take your time to learn from how they have approached success. By doing this, you will soon be able to mimic the habits of a successful marketing professional. Soon enough, you, too, will begin to think and act like one. Doing this regularly can have a positive impact on your overall success rate.
Always remember that you are not alone in this. If you find yourself stuck in a roadblock along the way, don’t force yourself to deal with it all by yourself. Simply contact your upline for whatever help you need.
Don’t Ever Stop Learning or Educating Yourself
Each day, you have to put aside time so that you can work on yourself.
Did you know how top leaders and income earners in today’s network marketing reached where they are?
Apart from mastering basic skills, they never stopped educating themselves. They are also tagged as the world’s top earners.
All the popular network marketing professionals enjoy reading, and they follow a daily ritual to improve themselves. Just run a quick internet search on these readers and you will uncover that they all have a large bookshelf that makes them accomplished readers.
You can take the example of an expert you look up to. Lookup anyone who has money in this network marketing industry, and you will know how seriously they work on their personal development every day. You will also discover how they always have a library to keep their minds sharp, aware, and updated.
In conclusion, if you want to see visible improvement in your marketing efforts, make sure you are constantly improving your knowledge reservoirs. Always keep reading success books and ransack the internet for proven social media strategies. And while you are at it, don’t forget to update yourself on any other topics that can pave the way toward your success.
Make Social Media an Essential Part of Your Everyday Business Activities
Even in the 21st century, if you still feel skeptical about what wonders social media marketing can do, then you’ve truly not understood its power yet. Social media marketing can help you increase your business exposure. Several digital marketers can attest that social media marketing plays a key role in driving traffic to your website and that it is as important as SEO.
If your online business is not accompanied by a social media strategy, you are already running into loss. A good social media promotion can help in spreading the word about your business to far-fetched people.
Including social media strategy in your daily business activities can form a base for a good marketing strategy.

Consistency can help you reach great heights in all fields of life, including network marketing. All you need to do is create a plan and write it down on a to-do list to remain consistent. Try to be as consistent as possible in your actions because, without it, your business will fail.

Network Marketing Strategy That Works
Taking Responsibility Success is up to you. If you succeed in this business, it will be because you made a decision to make something happen. Failure is up to you. It’s not up to anyone else – it’s up to you. You alone will decide whether you succeed or fail. Your sponsor is simply your connection to the company. The truth is, that most of the top earners in network marketing didn’t have a very good upline. If you have an upline that does everything for you, then you don’t have to become much. Use your sponsor as a resource, but not as an excuse. Decide to become independent as quick as you can. It’s always helpful to have a “workout partner” in your business; a person you can relate to, somebody who motivates you and inspires you. It doesn’t matter where this person is in your company. They might be in an upline, a downline or even a crossline. The most important thing is you will keep each other accountable.
Expectations – Managing the Emotions Network marketing is a very emotional business. There will be ups and downs. Life will distract you, and throw things in your way to try to get you back into that daily grind. You’ll face rejection from ignorant people. Most people are completely ignorant to network marketing. They think they get it, but they don’t. They mostly have a misconception of network marketing. They think everyone at the top makes most of the money, that you have to alienate your family and friends and that you have to push inferior products. None of this is true. People will quit. Your group will be attacked. You will either fight and keep building, or quit the business yourself. Your past will punish or reward you at the beginning. If you’ve lived a good life, been a giver, been helpful to other people, a good friend to other people, those people are naturally going to look at what you have. If you’ve been a taker your whole life, people will hesitate to look at what you’re presenting. Early in my career, I was primarily a taker. People were skeptical when I suddenly had interest in their life. You can turn this around. You can start to be a giver.
How To Get Involved in Your Business Commit yourself to doing this right. Your story of how you get involved is really important. Are you just trying it, or are you really serious? Did you sign up with the smallest or the highest package? Let me explain why it is important. You’re going to be telling the story of how you got started for the rest of your career. When people ask you how you started, will you be able to tell them you got started at the highest possible level? This isn’t like starting a traditional business. You don’t have to make a huge investment, design logos, hire lawyers, sign a lease, or anything traditional business owners need to do. If you start with the best possible package, that is the story you’ll tell for the rest of your network marketing career. It’s the one you want everyone in your group to have. It shows your commitment. You’re not just testing the water. Make a solid monthly commitment. Whether it’s a product or autoship, make sure it’s solid and duplicable. Introduce yourself to everyone. When I went to my first convention, I made a commitment to introduce myself to everyone there. I can’t tell you how much difference that made. It helped create circles of friends in the business that I could also go to for support in difficult times. Build a community, make friends and connections. These friends and connections are not tied to you financially, as your upline is. They will be tremendously helpful to you as you build your business.
Business Details
The tax benefits to starting your network marketing business are enormous! Talk to your tax professional. If you do this right, you will see tremendous benefits. To see the most benefit, track expenses and keep receipts. Keep good accounts, and consider having a separate account for your business. As a network marketing business-builder, you’re an independent contractor, so you’ll need to save for taxes. Your tax advisor can tell you how much of each check should be paid in for taxes. And one more piece of advice: If you have the ability, I’d encourage you to NOT spend your Network Marketing money. Have that be your future, your retirement, your retire your spouse fund – have it be something else. Let’s say you have enough to pay your bills with your “job.” Let the network marketing money become your financial freedom. Use this to create your future. The biggest status symbol today is being debt-free. If you just use your network marketing money to become debt-free, that would be amazing.
Let’s Get Your Business Going
One of the first things to do is to make your active candidate list. (Make sure you download the Ultimate Memory Jogger workbook.) Add as many people as you can to your list. I hope you’ll start today. If you haven’t downloaded the Memory Jogger, just start with the lines below and start writing. Go! Add at least 2 people every day. Adding people to your list is a muscle that is developed by successful network marketers.
Inviting Basics In my book Go Pro, you’ll find the basics on inviting people to your opportunity. And as part of this program, you’ll receive my basic script book. They will help you learn about the different markets you’ll face. You have a hot market (close friends and family), a warm market (people you “sort of ” know), and a cold market – people you don’t know at all. But please! Please, before you start, learn the “support and practice” approach. Don’t mention your new business to anyone before you learn these skills. You don’t want to “verbally vomit” on the people who are most likely to buy from you, even if you’re super excited for your chance for a future. It’s easy to go overboard. Learn the “support and practice” approach and use it, use it, use it! You’re free to make mistakes with the people who love you the most. It doesn’t have to be perfect. They can see the opportunity and if they aren’t interested, you can just ask for their support in becoming a customer or using the product. Learn invitation basics. There are direct, indirect, and super indirect approaches. Details are in the book, but here are the steps to a professional invitation. Step one: Be in a hurry. Step two: Compliment the prospect Step three: Make the invitation Step four: If I, would you? Step five: Confirmation #1 - get the time commitment Step six: Confirmation #2 - confirm the time commitment Step seven: Confirmation #3 - schedule the next call Step eight: Get off the phone.
The Launch Proclaim yourself. Go tell the world that you’re part of the company and you’re going to the top. It makes it a little more embarrassing for you to walk away. It’s really important. It’s like opening a restaurant. You’d be inviting your friends and family to check out your food, the ambiance and atmosphere, and you’d be asking them to tell their friends. The same thing is true with your network marketing business. Treat it like a race. You want to get going fast and build some buzz and momentum. You want them to help you launch your business properly.

Your Product Story
It will be important for you to get your product story fast. What did the product do for you? You need to get product sales and customers fast. This will help you get new distributors signed up fast. “I did this, and it created this result.” The more you tell your story, the more quickly your business will succeed.
Network marketing success is built in 15-minute increments. If you’re busy with your life, just carve out 15 minutes to make phone calls. Carve out 15 minutes to show someone the product or opportunity. This will help you create a daily method of operation that will give you results and income. “
Time Management
A lot of people feel they don’t have enough time to start a new business. They don’t think they have any additional time to build a business. Don’t treat this like a business. Treat it like a job where you have specific hours and you have to perform in those hours. When people join network marketing they sometimes treat it way too casually. Don’t let small things take you off your game. Network marketing success is built in 15-minute increments. If you’re busy with your life, just carve out 15 minutes to make phone calls. Carve out 15 minutes to show someone the product or opportunity. In real life, most people don’t put in 10 hours of real work at their office. A lot of the time in an office is spent doing things that are unproductive, time-wasting behaviors. Real work, total focus, can be done in forty 15-minute blocks. This will help you create a daily method of operation that will give you results, encouragement, income – all are created by your daily habits. All of us are slaves to our habits, good or bad. I encourage you to become a slave to good habits. Don’t let things steal your time, become a person who purposefully uses time. If you’re a slave to television, limit your television. Are you a slave to email or social media? Understand, you don’t have to constantly react to everyone’s agenda. Take charge. Treat it like a job. Work through the steps of what’s taking your time, and what will help you build a future. Decide what is important for you.
Personal Development
This is so important. In the end you only make what you are. You only earn what you become as a person. To have more you have to become more. Work on yourself harder than you work on your business. You are the only barrier to higher income. If you want to do more, you need to become more. Things that will help you: Your reading library. What are you reading? Take 15-30 minutes a day to read one thing that will help you be a better leader, motivator, teacher. Your reading library is super important. Leaders are readers. Your listening library. Listen to people like Jim Rohn, Les Brown, Denis Waitley. Listen to books on audio. Fill your mind with great ideas from people who have gone before you. Your viewing library. What are you watching? More people watch You Tube than watch television or read magazines. I put a lot of free videos up on Network Marketing Pro. There are some great inspirational people on some of these videos. Another great site is ted.com. Some of the greatest leaders of the world give talks on these videos. Attending events. These will help you grow your business and develop you personally. Events fill you up. Whether it’s a Network Marketing Pro event, a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins event, your company or regional events – these will fill you up. Have these be part of your personal development plan.
Focus & Consistency
Network Marketing is filled with distractions. Put the blinders on and commit. Take things one year at a time, not a day at a time. Commit to the next 12 months and make it happen. Evaluate. Commit to another 12 months. Evaluate. Make it happen. Stay on track. Focus where you are. Follow the people in your company who are having the biggest success. Do what they do. Look at what’s working and commit to getting better in that process.
The Importance of Events
Commit now to attending all major company events. It changed everything for me when I committed to never missing a company convention. It became about how resourceful I could be, to raise the money to get to that event. All of the life-changing experiences I have had in network marketing have occurred because I attended company events. Register for your company event now. Make that commitment. It will change everything. Make sure everybody on your team registers and attends company events. Explain to them why it’s so important. Work on the plan and help as many people as you can to attend the big event.
Stories Stories will help you build your business. Why did you decide to pursue network marketing? What in your background prepared you for a career in this profession? Be able to tell this story in a couple of minutes. You should also have a “getting started” story. What helped you get started? Did you attend some training? Eliminate distractions? Talking about your getting started process can be incredibly inspiring. Your product story is also very important. We touched on that a little earlier. When you used the product or service, what happened? How did that product or service benefit you? In telling your story, people will see how it will also benefit them. Have a “first 30-day” story. What happened in your first 30 days? It will inspire people to what they can do in their first 30 days. People remember stories way more than they remember the data or statistics. Stories carry impact. Pay attention to your stories, and work on them. Become a good storyteller.
Focus on Skills
This is my strongest recommendation! I finally decided to be a professional after spending three-and-a-half years in network marketing. Your skills will make a career for you. You’ll never have to worry about being lucky or waste time looking for shortcuts again. As a part of this program, Network marketing pro has offered you two additional tools that will help you so much with the skills: - Memory Jogger workbook - Script book Use these products to help you develop necessary skills. The “Go Pro” book is an amazing additional tool. If you didn’t read it yet, you have to read it. Hundreds of thousands of distributors around the world are using it with great success.
