Today I’d like to share a personal experience in my early days in network marketing.

Looking back 20+ years at the time when I first met up with MLM in Austria and was thrilled with what I saw I can only wonder.

In those day “positive thinking” and personal development as we know it today were only in baby shoes in this area.

Since at the time I joined MLM I had been a successful entrepreneur in my study field for some 15 years I was sure that network marketing would not present a problem provided the work was done diligently. I started out and did a thorough job and achieved …….. no progress……Hm….

Meeting with other folks at weekly meetings I of course wanted to find out what was still missing in my work schedule and to my big chagrin all that was being discussed were personal development issues. Things like “dream your vision and work on it, you attract what you send out and more – all those things which are being discussed on a large scale nowadays, which are being investigated and propagated in considerable detail in books like “The Secret”.

In those days I could not understand at all, but fact was, those who obviously were into those matters succeeded in building their business and I didn’t.

Eventually, years later “I got it” and once that happened my business grew miraculously.

Therefore you can conclude that personal development, attitude, and willingness to work on these issues are the big secret for success in network marketing today just as much as it was in those days.

Don’t hesitate to step on this path – the time is well spend and the rewards will be incredible.

Being the master of your life is a conscious choice.

It is a choice that also resonates with building a network marketing business today. Let me explain:

It is never the big things in life which leave you stranded, which stop you from doing your daily slight edge activities.

It is the small, trivial little things that eat up your time – may it be phone calls or mishaps or perhaps having a low day altogether, there are so many “reasons” why the important things don’t get done in a nicely structured way. This shows up in your daily life when you consider it clearly.

Backlogs in daily household things like washing the dishes, doing odd cleaning jobs, or in your work environment perhaps a backlog in filing papers or some book keeping work that is over due; perhaps you have on the back of your mind that your car should finally be washed and cleaned up, yet there does not seem to be time to do any of the listed chores.

Unless you make a conscious choice that you do what you need to do “NOW” nothing will change.

It is this conscious choice that will change your life!

All of the above also reflects on building a network marketing business today. All the issues in your life which are hanging around “undone” will prevent you also from doing the small regular activities which are required in building such a business successfully.

While in your daily life it  may very likely be enough that you make your personal choice to get on with things, it may be a good idea that you have a coach and mentor for business to help and support you so that you stay on track.

However – your conscious choice is the foundation for your success as much as your WHY that represents the driving force to keep you going even at times when things get tight.

Network Marketing offers a huge potential for growth on  many levels.

Normally when you speak of business, growth is limited to numbers, however, I feel that even there the numbers are the result of what was accomplished on many levels.

Let us now check the growth potential in network marketing:

• Personal development
• Business training
• Product knowledge
• Step from employee to business owner
• International business activities
• Financial Independence

This is a very rudimentary list to give a gross overview.

As you see personal development is  the first point. This is important as it is personal development. growth as a person, that will make all the other points possible.

The biggest step you have to take right at the beginning is from being “employee minded” to being “entrepreneur minded” and this is a huge step to take.

Very often people do not see network marketing as a business, they see it more like a side-line job and this is exactly one of the main challenges. You cannot expect a business to grow to an extent that it will give you financial independence eventually if you look at it as a “side-line job”.

The awareness of what you want to achieve and where you want to go is THE critical difference between success and failure.

Second you see business training.  Unfortunately too many people think they can do network marketing anyways and that is part of the big failure numbers in this industry.

Network marketing today is an industry with a lot of   operational knowledge. It is required to know what you are doing. Of course it is strange as all of us have been doing network marketing  from as early as kindergarten onwards  and we do it all the time – promoting a film we have seen, a restaurant, a shop, a holiday or what have you.

Only the moment we start a network marketing business this relaxed approach of “doing it anyways” leaves most of us and we start doing all sorts of things we before never ever considered. Things like pitching people until they evade us to give but one example.

Accordingly a major part of the business training in network marketing today is  laid out that you learn and understand the simple mechanisms behind natural promotion. Of course we require also skills, like working online and general marketing but that is the easier part of it.

Product knowledge is an easy one again, as most people fall in love with a product anyway and consequently want to know all about it.

The transition from being an employee to being a business owner is easy in network marketing. You need not take a risk and leave your job as you would have to with most other businesses – you simply walk away from your job when you have replaced your income and more.

Since travelling is normal in our times the option of having an international business makes sense. Isn’t it nice to be able to “travel on business” rather that to travel after you have already paid your taxes?

Financial independence is the foundation for a nice and easy life style and unless you are doing a business that gives you “time to live” once you have reached your income level, you will not be able to really enjoy the fruit of your labor.

This gives you a rough idea why more and more people want to get into network marketing today. Network marketing today is considered a life-style business and I think this is the key topic altogether.

You want to start the process? Get yourself the free e-book from the side bar and don’t waste another day of your life guessing and wondering as to how you might be able to get going in this wonderful industry.
