What do you believe you are worth?

Can you put a price tag on your head? Can you demand a certain wage from your employer? If not, why not?

Look at the amount of money you are making right now. That is exactly what you are worth. If you are making next to nothing and on the poverty scale in income, it is because that is all you are worth. If you were worth more, you would make more. There is no excuse.

You may say that you have more potential and should be making more money, but if you want more money, you will find a way to make it. If that is not how you operate, then you have a problem with your mindset and your self worth.

If I were your boss and I told you that I would give you $50,000 if you could generate 500 quality leads for my business in a month would you get it done? Of course you would. You would find a way to get someone to teach you how to do it so you can do it again and again and make $50,000 every month. If you would do that for an employer for the promise 0f $50,000 a month, why can you not do it for yourself?

The problem lies in your belief and motivation. Why would you be able to get the job done for an employer who has a deadline and is willing to pay you handsomely for it, but would not do it for yourself?

Is it the fear of being fired and losing your job? Or is it because your boss has more faith in you than you do in yourself?

So many entrepreneurs fall into this trap of not being able to get the job done for themselves. They may know what they have to do in order to make themselves successful, but struggle to get motivated to do it. The reason is they are not backed into acornerand being told what to do and have other people relying on them.

They are not willing to perform for themselves. They lack that self belief.

A common trait for many marketers is that crisis stage, where they realize they have no other option than doing what it takes to become successful. It is the place where there is no way out and it's either fail and quit or roll thesleeves up and do whatever it takes.

The mindset shift during this crisis stage is the shift needed to become successful. It is not an easy thing to have the discipline to have that mindset when you are living a comfortable life, which is why so many people fail in all businesses.

Having a community and mentor is crucial to success. Someone who is going to make you accountable and who has actually gone through the steps and the work to make themselves successful. One of the major problems with the network marketing/MLM models is your upline, who is supposed to be your mentor has no idea what they are doing either and they have not done what it takes to be successful. So, you one unsuccessful person trying to motivate a new recruit. It is a relationship that is destined to fail. Success breeds success and failure breeds failure. It has nothing to do with the product and the business model if you are following the practices of a failure. Only 3% of Network Marketers are successful and if you can manage to align yourself with one of those guys and do what they do, you have a good chance to succeed yourself, but the majority are following the other 97% and are doomed to failure.
