Why Network Marketing

Robert Kiyosaki says "If you don't have a home based business you're out of business!"
There's no such thing as Job security anymore!
The economy is NOT getting better, more and more lay-offs are happening RIGHT NOW!
More and more people are turning to home based businesses to create the financial security that they once looked for in their job. Over 100,000 people a week are joining home based businesses. Some are predicting that by the end of this decade 46% of the worlds population will be working from home.
The three classes of people we are used to is becoming a thing of the past. We are rapidly becoming a two classed society. What I mean by that is we once had the upper class, middle class and lower class.
But now the lower class are becoming homeless. The middle class are broke and on the verge of financial disaster due to higher cost of living and less income.
So we have dropped down to the lower class and the upper class seem to get richer. leaving us with lower and upper class
Only those who have or develop an Entrepreneur's attitude will gain the ticket to total freedom.
So why Network Marketing?
This Industry has generated more financially stable families than any other Industry and produced more millionaires than any other industry in the world
Why is it that people like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet and Robert Kiyosaki promote the network marketing industry? Because they understand that's its the last chance for the average person to get rich, It's the only industry that allows you to make an investment of a few hundred dollars and create a huge residual income, financial security and peace of mind using leverage.
Here is something we must understand, being rich is simply a mind set......Unfortunately so is being poor
Just ask Donald Trump, he lost billions but also gained billions right back. How was he able to do it? He had the right mind set.
Being broke is a temporary position but being poor is a permanent situation. Its all in the mind set.
Regardless of the stock market or the 700 billion dollar bailout, regardless of the value of the dollar dropping 90% since it originated and 80% in the past 10 years the rich seem to get richer and the poor get eaten alive!
Why is that? Because the rich look for and take advantage of opportunity and the poor look for "JOB'S"
The rich leverage their time and money to produce more time and money while the poor continues to trade hours for dollars, do the rich trade hours for dollars? NO, they leverage other peoples hours for their dollars (kind of sounds like network marketing to me) and then they leverage their money by making it work for them.
Why is Network marketing so affective? Because it uses the power of leverage. You leverage other peoples time and efforts...who leverage other peoples time and efforts... who leverage other peoples time and efforts...you see where I'm going with this right?
J Paul Getty (a billionaire in the oil Industry) said " I'd rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts.", you think he understood the power of leverage?
It's time to take back control of our lives. It's time to take back the control and create the life we deserve. The peace of mind we all want, the financial freedom we all long for. The power to do so is in our hands and the opportunity is right in front of us.

5 Traits of the Successful Network Marketer - Trait 1

What causes one to fail in Network Marketing while others enjoy huge success?

What is it that 10 out of 10 successful network marketers agree is the number one thing you must have in order to succeed in network marketing?

What is it that most lack and it causes them to fail in network marketing?

Why is it that two people can be involved with the same company, have access to the same tools but only one is successful?

The answer is really very simple.......... Discipline !!

You have to be disciplined with your work schedule, it doesn't matter if you are full time or part time with out discipline you will never get into the money or keep the money.

With my personal team we use the "binder system" and the first page in the binder is the work schedule, The most important page of the system, it is extremely important that this page be filled out every week and the reason is the psychology behind it, When you put something in writing instead of just "intending" to do it you actually enter into a covenant with yourself, you are making a promise to yourself that you are going to do something and are 80% more likely to do what you said you would do once it becomes a written goal/task

After your "work schedule is written out what's next?   SHOW UP TO WORK!!!

Most people that start a network marketing business start out on a part time basis due to a current full time job, How may times could you not show up to work or not work once you "showed up" and still keep your job? not very many times before you would no longer be employed by that company.
Its the exact same with you business, If you don't show up to work you wont have a business but a hobby instead.....Hobbies cost money but do not money.

What does "showing up" entail?  Performing the money making activities.

For example, if you have Monday from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM scheduled to work you business but you spend that time watching training video's in your back office or studying the compensation plan Etc. then you really aren't working, you're just busy doing the non money making activities.

I agree that knowing and understanding you product/business/comp plan is very important but that IS NOT making you any money therefore don't spend you scheduled work time on these types of activities, spend your work time working, making exposures, follow up calls and 3-way calls, these are the money making activities.

So lets say you are lacking discipline when it comes to "working" your business and you really want to change that and become more disciplined, how do you go about it? Where do you start?

1. Write out your work schedule

2. Write out all the benefits of becoming more disciplined in this particular area
   
 Example: if you become more disciplined when it comes to "showing up" to work your network
    marketing business at the scheduled times you will make more exposures, more exposures means
    more serious looks, more serious looks means more sign ups, more sign-ups means more money,
    more money means........ you get the point right?

3. Find an accountability partner, someone that you can share your work schedule and goals with and they will hold you accountable, don't become accountable to someone that has the same lack of discipline issues or you will both end up buying into each others excuses, a good place to look for an accountability partner is your up-line.

The good news is it only takes 21 days to form a new habit, stick it out and before you know it you'll be showing up to work without giving it a second thought and your business will start to grow as well.
