How do you build your belief in the MLM Industry? What is the real key to success? After nearly a decade in this industry, I think it boils down to this:
1. Enroll in Auto University: Whenever you are in your vehicle, driving to or from work or running errands, you should listen to audio programs about our industry, about success and about entrepreneurship. This includes training programs and motivational programs. The last time I checked, I never got paid to listen to music. But, you would be pleasantly surprised at how much more money you could earn if you listened to programs that taught you new skills. If you listened to one tape a day, four a period of four years, you would have the equivalent of a Bachelor’s Degree in Network Marketing. Think about how much you would learn, what your attitude would be like, and the skills you would learn in the process.
2. Association: Who you hang out with determines who you will become. If you spend all your time with people who have jobs, or negative naysayers, you are really holding yourself back. You need to spend time with people who are positive, who have goals, and know where they are going in life. You need to spend some time with successful network marketers, successful entrepreneurs and positive minded people. You can do this by reading, by listening to training tapes, by finding a mentor, and/or by hanging out with other positive, successful people. The books you read and the people you hang out with today will determine where you end up in five years. Never forget that.
3. Read: If I had to credit one thing to my success in life, and my belief in the MLM Industry, it is reading. For the past ten years, I have read at least one self-help or business related book a week. The information I have learned along the way has transformed my life. If you read a book a week for five years, on any given subject, you would be an expert in that subject. Think about that for a moment. Reading teaches you new ideas, gives you inspiration and improves your vocabulary. I suggest you BUILD YOUR OWN LIBRARY of good books. If you can’t afford to do that, get a library card and get busy. In either case, it will be time or money well spent.
4. Take Action: This step is often overlooked when it comes to building your belief in the MLM Industry. But, let me put in perspective. If you were trying to lose weight, and you went to the gym and ate right for a week, and lost 5 pounds, what would your belief be like? Probably pretty high, right? The same thing holds true in the MLM Industry. If you take consistent and persistent action, you will build your belief in the industry. You will start getting positive results. It’s inevitable. Just remember that there is a HUGE difference between theoretical knowledge and applied knowledge. You can study until the cows come home but until your roll up your sleeves and do the work, you won’t learn as much.
5. Attend Company Events: You should attend all company events, to include local events and the national convention. This is a great way to rub elbows with like minded people in your company, to learn new ideas, and to be inspired. There are also many good generic network marketing events you should attend. Whenever you get the chance to hang out with winners, do so! Nothing beats face-to-face interaction.
Final Thoughts
In summary, these are the five tips on how to build belief in the MLM Industry. These steps aren’t that difficult to do and don’t take much time or money either. It’s about doing a series of little things over a long period of time. That way you can form new habits, improve your mindset and attitude and form new beliefs about the MLM Industry. Please remember that everything you think right now, you were once taught. If you want to think differently, or learn something new, you need to form new beliefs. And you can do that by following the five ideas I mentioned above. Good luck!
