Network Marketing Success -- What's Stopping You?

By Rosie Cottis

I am sure that you have seen all those 'top guns' parading their network marketing success stories on the internet and at company events. You have seen the photos of sports cars and dream homes, luxury vacations and beautiful yachts. Are their stories true? And if they are, why are those people so much more successful than you?

Well, part of the answer could be the methods that you are being told to use. Hitting the big time with network marketing is more than just a question of self-motivation and belief in your company and its products.

There is a missing component that many network marketers overlook or simply dismiss. They assume that it is unnecessary to the growth of their business. In fact, it's just about the single most important ingredient to becoming successful in any network marketing business ... the investment that you make in YOU.

What do they teach you to focus on? Having a short term goal is a great start. Combining this with a long term goal is even better. Generating targeted leads, people who really want to hear what your offer is all about, completes another part of the network marketing puzzle. But the one piece many simply don't put enough time into is investing in themselves.

Investing In Myself? What Does That Mean?

Easy. It's just a matter of getting a daily dose of self improvement to exercise your success mindset. Without that, the climb to success is so steep and difficult that it's almost impossible. But if you tune in to a daily mindset boost, it's like taking the elevator up the mountain!

All you have to do is hang out with the successful people. You don't need to have access to them in person. That's why this is like a cheat. You can cover it by simply soaking up their ideas.

It is often said that we adopt the attitudes and expectations of the people that we spend most time with. If someone who considers himself a loser is suddenly catapulted into being surrounded by successful people all of the time, his mindset will change. He will begin to think, speak and act like them. All that is holding you back right now is your own expectations and prejudices about yourself and your abilities. A daily mindset boost can change those ideas completely.

Listening to mindset motivational material every day is incredibly powerful! It can completely change your outlook, especially regarding your own true worth. It can also help to rid you of the boundaries that limit you, boundaries that do not exist except in your mind.

All you need is material from a good motivational speaker who is truly successful. This could be a household name like Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield or Dan Millman, or a top network marketer from your own company.

It is amazing. Many people consider even 15 to 20 minutes of motivational material as timewasting or brainwashing. How wrong can they be! When you're building a network marketing business, the truth is, it's simply gold.

The quit rate in MLM and network marketing companies is staggering. Most distributors give up in the first couple of months. Around 90% quit within 6 months, almost always without making much money and often without even covering their costs. Often, these people will move on to another MLM opportunity. If you are in that position, it's time to change. Motivational self-improvement can turn your apparent failures into stepping stones to success.

It is simply a question of bringing the millionaire mindset into your daily life. I do mean daily - you need to be listening to success seven days a week if possible. Make sure it is always at least six. Pretty soon it will become part of your life, and almost without trying, you should find yourself moving toward network marketing success.
