Network Marketing Success - The Reasons Why, Part 2
Network Marketing Success - The Reasons Why, Part 2
Lou Tice, founder of the Pacific Institute, once related the story of how he had to help a world-class African athlete overcome a physical problem. Although this guy was a candidate for the Olympic Games, he often developed a pain in his side so severe that he had to stop running. After listening to the athlete's story, Tice's advice was to quit running altogether. You see, he found that the athlete could support his family with the proceeds from his wins, and that was his main motivator. And that, according to Tice, was simply not a good enough motivation for such a lofty goal.
Nobody, but nobody on this planet has ever become good at something overnight. I think the media are guilty of creating misconceptions here. They present an incorrect timeline by (inadvertently) showing the transition from failure to success, from obscurity to stardom, in a few episodes on TV or in less than two hours in a movie.
In the real world the 'overnight success' is usually preceded by years, even decades, of practice, hardships and disappointments. This applies equally well to marketers, musicians, artists and sports stars. So, on your way to becoming that marketing 'superhero', you are going to meet with countless distractions and disappointments. You will often ask yourself if this was a good idea in the first place, and you will consider throwing in the towel.
So it is only logical that your reasons for pursuing a specific course of action should be so good that they outweigh any opposing forces. To be really good at anything, be that sports, art, singing, or network marketing, you have to be passionate about it. And you require an exceptionally high level of motivation, preferably of the positive kind! So how do you get this?
The pieces of the puzzle will come together if you can get yourself to a position of 'must' have. There simply must be no alternative to obtaining that goal. And you create this situation by having enough magnificent 'why's. The more and the better 'why's you have, and the more they pull you in the same direction, the better. What I mean by magnificence is that the end result must really resonate within you at a gut level. It must evoke an intense emotional response. Sweaty skin. Increased pulse rate. Pupils dilated.
Now I cannot tell you what your motivators are; you will have to do a fair amount of introspection. Take a piece of paper, write down your motivators, and order them in descending order of importance. Then look at the ones at the top. If they evoke a 10/10 feeling, if you must realize them at all cost, come hell or high water, despite all odds, you are on the right track. If they only get a nine-out-of-ten rating, you might have to re-consider.
Just a word of advice here. This series of articles deals mostly with money. Money is VERY important. So is life, health, love, family and friends: to name a few. The bottom lines is this: you cannot have anything if it is not important to you. So if someone tries to tell you money is not important, don't believe her - she's broke.
Network marketing success and the money associated with it is, however, not the ultimate goal. It is some of the magificent things we can do with that money. So when (not 'if') you become that marketing superstar, and you do break through the million-dollar-a-year ceiling - what will your life look like? Your physical surroundings? Your associates? Your boats and planes? Your appearance? The hospital in Uganda you are sponsoring? This is the time to get super-creative!
Join me in my next article where I'll show you how I re-program my own mind to pursue my goals. And no, it's not the re-hashed old 'goal setting and affirmation' story.

We will now discuss the positive motivating factors, and I am going to assume that you have read my previous article (refer to the link below), which discusses the negative motivating factors. The positive factors 'attract', while the negative factors 'repel'. If we can get them to act in unison, it's an ideal situation!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
