Have you got what it takes?

Network Marketing is not a job in the strictest sense of the word, because the way it pays you is different from the normal. You get paid on your efforts and your results. So the opposite is therefore true, no effort no results, no pay. Lots of people in hourly paid work can get away with not doing a lot and still get paid. That doesn’t work with NM.

As I said in blog 3 what you are doing is “Creating a life for yourself where you take personal control and responsibility”

Can you do this business, seriously, can you?

This is the key to you being successful, because the one thing you have to have to do this business is belief in yourself. If you have this then you will achieve your goals for your life. Because when you believe you will focus on your goals. This is why so many people fail in this business. It is not the products or services necessarily it is their commitment.

Belief = Commitment + Focus

Another issue with NM is that people will do it part time, a “bolt on” to the day job and therefore it is very easy to get blown off course and also the compensation plan will not reward you in the early days, (remember it is an exponential curve). So in the early days you will not earn as much as you thought you would. This can be difficult to explain to the “other half” and is another major reason why people fall off. However having said that once the curve starts to really bend you will earn a lot more than you thought were going to earn. So what is five years in the scheme of things, if you believe in the company and you believe in its products and services?

Look at it like this, in the early years you are putting down a foundation built on rock, (we will come back to this later). You are not going to earn a life changing income for 2-3 years maybe, (some people will blitz it in 18 months but I am talking about most people here). But as long as you keep doing it you will be successful. I say to people do as many hours as you can, because the more hours you do the quicker you will achieve the goals you have set for yourself, (obviously) and I also say, never give up.

The problem for many people is that they are looking for quantum leaps, get rich quick schemes, they don't happen guys. I think five years in the course of your life is a pretty quick time period if you think about it. No plan, no success is also the reality, what is your plan B?

Network marketing is the ideal vehicle for people who seriously want to take charge of their lives and are ready to do it. If the “light goes on” you are there. There is nothing stopping you.
