Before we dive into the list of “rules” that will help you reach success in network marketing faster…
Here is a little motivation and reality check:
Your dreams have a price tag on them.
It may cost you some old friendships and the occasional fear of being alone and not understood.
But the payoff will be absolutely worth it!
If you are committed to achieving your goals and involving yourself in the network marketing business…
Here are some rules that can help you get there easier and faster.
And remember, vision without execution is just a hallucination!
SPEND TIME WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Your life is too short for you to spend time with the people who suck the happiness out of you.
It does not matter who they are.
Most people have issues with their friends and family when they start their business journey.
Not only they are not getting support from them, but too often they are trying to bring them down.
Now in this case I am not saying cut the ties with them.
I am just saying to wisely manage your time and energy when around them.
And do not tell them your ideas and plans.
They are yours – so don’t let others bring them down!
Do not let small-minded people project their small-mindedness onto you.
Remember OQP – only quality people!
FACE YOUR PROBLEMS
If you want to be confident and achieve success faster, you will have to face your problems head-on.
And no, this won’t be easy.
But that is the whole purpose of life and business in a nutshell.
Face the problems.
Learn and adapt.
Then solve them, and after that, help other people solve them as well.
Most people who start their network marketing business journey have no communications skills whatsoever.
So they have trouble talking to other people.
They are afraid of what other people will say, think, or do when they present their business to them.
So if you, for example, have this problem as well – tackle it right away.
Learn some communication skills, take speaking classes, and role-play with people within your network…
There are a lot of ways you can face and overcome this problem.
Pick one and just go!
BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF
I am not telling you it’s okay to lie to anyone.
But still, you could lie to everyone else except yourself.
Your life and business will improve only if you work on them.
And to know what you need to work on, you need to be honest with yourself first.
Too often people feel they are working so hard but are not going anywhere.
And then blame network marketing for that.
But the harsh truth is that they are probably making themselves busy.
They are not doing the things that actually matter.
Like they will be going to every company event, but they will not talk to anyone about their business.
YOUR OWN NEEDS MATTER TOO
Yes, network marketing is a business where you help people around you.
But that does not mean helping others at the cost of not taking care of your own needs.
Network marketing business has a wonderful benefit.
You can pick the people you are going to work with.
And what I mean by that, is not everyone who wishes to join you is the right fit for you and your business.
Before you let a person into your business circle…
Make sure that is the person who you’d want to be a part of your business circle.
Imagine a lazy, negative person that wishes to join your team.
This person is hyped and is ready to do it now.
Would you take them just because you still don’t have enough people?
I wouldn’t.
Neither should you.
BE YOURSELF
You probably know the quote “Fake it till you make it”.
That is not completely true.
Yes, you should strive to be the best version of yourself.
And there is nothing wrong with imagining how will you act when you are successful.
But that does not mean you should try to change who you are just to have people join your business.
Because this way, you can lose yourself and then nothing else will matter.
Everybody knows that being yourself is for the long run.
So better focus on who you are and who you want to become, and then work on that.
You are unique for a reason!
FOCUS ON THE FUTURE
You cannot start the next chapter of the book called life if you are still re-reading the previous one.
Most people that start their network marketing journey are not able to move forward with it.
Bad business experiences they had in the past are still holding them down in some way.
The way I see it, you can either run from the past.
Which means you will be forever stuck in it.
Or you can learn from it and do better next time.
Everybody knows we need to make that choice.
But only a few do the right one!
MISTAKES ARE THE BEST TEACHERS
Don’t waste a good mistake… learn from it.
There is a saying “10 wrongs do not make right”.
But people often use it wrong and take it out of context.
Because in life, 10 wrongs can help you make things right.
Doing something 10 times and getting it wrong will often help you to make it right the next time.
Mistakes are nothing to be feared for.
They are necessary for you to learn and become successful.
Instead, do the opposite.
Have yourself each day to make a mistake or fail at something.
Then write it down and think about how can you make it better next time.
This approach will help you to become a problem solver, which is a skill that pays the most in any business.
And in life too!
Don’t see your mistakes as failures.
See them as new wisdom!
GIVE YOUR WAY TO HAPPINESS
There is a saying that goes:
“Money cannot buy happiness!”
And that is the truth and a lie at the same time…
It is a lie because it can buy happiness, you just have to give it away!
Having money enables you to help others, which is proven to make a person happy and fulfilled.
Money makes everyday life easier and helps you get from survival mode into a live-your-life mode.
It can also help you get the things you desire.
But at the same time, it is the truth since it cannot buy the things that really matter in life.
Ture love.
True friends.
Loving family.
Buy things, not people.
And don’t forget to share them with others.
FORGIVE YOURSELF FIRST
You are just as human as I am.
You probably hold grudges against other people.
I know I do.
But more often the grudges you hold against yourself are to blame.
They are the silent killer of your dreams.
Forgiveness is not saying “What I did to myself is okay.”
It is saying “I am not going to let what I did in the past ruin my happiness today.”
Forgiveness is the answer to a better future.
Let things go, find peace, and liberate yourself!
So forgive yourself, move on, and try to do better next time.
RISE UP
It is too often that I witness people allowing others to discourage them from going after their dreams.
Remember, you cannot share big dreams with small-minded people.
Not only they will not understand it, they will talk you out of pursuing it because it is impossible…
But what you need to understand, is that it is impossible – FOR THEM!
Sharing your vision and your dreams with small-minded people will only drown you.
Asking them for opinions or better yet, advice, could discourage even Superman.
Ask and accept advice only from people that have the things you want and live the life you wish to live.
Otherwise, you will be swallowed in the masses, yet again giving up on your dreams…
So refuse to lower your standards just to accommodate people around you who refuse to raise theirs.
Rise up to your dream life.
PRIORITIZE ACTIONS, NOT EXPLANATIONS
Your life is yours, and yours alone.
Decisions and actions you make chasing your dreams are no exception.
Improving your lifestyle for yourself and the people around you is not anyone’s business but yours.
There is a saying that goes:
“Be who you are and do what you feel.
Because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
In translation, your real friends will not need an explanation.
And everyone else won’t believe in it or in you anyways.
So, in the end, just do you!
CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY
Your success in life is proportionate to the amount of responsibility you take for it.
That means you have to take responsibility for the bad things that happen, as well as the good ones.
Yes, you may not be responsible for the things that happen to you.
But you are responsible for how you react to them.
And this is the responsibility I am talking about.
The ability to control your response to events in life.
Your dreams’ fulfillment relies on your responsibility for your actions.
When you blame others for what you are going through…
You actually give others power over that part of your life.
And when you are not in control, you sway from the right path!
FOCUS ONLY ON YOUR WANTS
I see a lot of people that are unhappy with their lives and a lot more lately that have given up their dreams.
Do you know what they have in common?
All they talk about is the things they don’t want!
And there is a perfect explanation for why they are so unhappy and desperate.
It goes:
“Whatever you focus on grows, multiplies.
If you focus on growth, you will grow.
If you focus on shit, it will grow! “
So focus on what you do want to happen.
But focus starts with the words you are saying to yourself.
And then actions you take based on those words.
So don’t self-reject…
Don’t think you deserve something?
Work for it anyway.
Don’t think your presentation is good enough?
Present it anyway.
Don’t think they’ll reply to your text?
Send it anyway.
Do that and watch yourself getting closer to achieving your dreams with each passing day.
BE GRATEFUL
This thing is the last on the list for a reason.
You may not believe in magic but it exists.
And being grateful is the biggest spell there is.
Only a grateful mind can recognize opportunities.
Only a grateful heart can help you take proper action.
Only a grateful person can have abundance in life.
So, no matter how good or bad you have it at the moment…
Wake up each day thankful for your life.
Think about all the things you have.
And the universe will multiply them for you!
