Network Marketing Today – when you  make the effort of learning this trade well is the solution for a life in freedom and abundance.

You hear it right – it is a trade that you have to learn and you have to learn it well. It requires a bunch of communication skills, but in today’s world also a bunch of internet skills.

AND – you are self employed in it, which is your benefit as much as it may be your curse.

To make the most of it you have to develop into the person you need to be: self loving, caring communicator who will listen at least twice as much as speak. It is the trusting relationship you create with people that will take you far.

In addition you have to provide your own working schedule and stick to it no matter what. There are many distractions in life at home that may take your time and since you are self employed you need to be careful that you are not carried away. Time is racing and the tasks you have missed out on are missed out on.

For me it is freedom to be able to work in the early mornings or at night so that I can make the most of being outside working in my garden which is my passion. However, it takes dedication to sit down at the pc for work after a long and tiring day out.

There is this cynical statement: “tomorrow I will do this or that” or “tomorrow I will start my diet” – that’s the kind of attitude that will get you nowhere. It will create nothing and you will not make a good role model for the people who are watching you.

Attention – people are watching you – your team will be watching you closely and unless you give them a good example what ever unproductive example you give them will spread in your group like wild fire.

This is what I mean when I say “curse”. 

The conclusion is: do your homework well, establish a lifestyle that you want to set up as a role model for your team and help them learn and grow and you will agree:

If Not Network Marketing – What?

Happiness in Network Marketing – Hm

When we are building a business we are spending a lot of time on it.

Either we are still in a 9 – 5 job and build the business in our free time, which is a challenge in itself, as it takes excellent time management and dedication to do what is required, or we are doing it full time. Doing network marketing full time it is all the more important that you are happy with what you are doing.

Even without speaking a single work your basic attitude is transmitted to the people you speak to. They will pick up  your mindset. Happy people have something special around them and as a rule they attract people like magnets. Everyone wants to brush off such a mindset and feel a bit of that happiness.

• Considering these basics it is not a big surprise that building a network marketing business today will be a lot easier when you are happy with what you are doing.
• The law of attraction will kick in and  your team will be reflecting your mindset.

Do you think this makes sense? Yes?

So make sure that you work on your mindset and join a mastermind group where the main focus is personal development and  cleansing of the mind from old patterns and programming which is of no more value to us.

As in all our training – there is no charge, yet it takes your effort and dedication to work through the provided material and to participate on an ongoing basis.

There is this big contrast between some people who seem to be having massive success in network marketing today and the others who keep struggling in spite of lots of effort.

The difference between them is attitude!

Just recently I made a YouTube on attitude where I sum up about it – you might want to check it out.

Attitude is a personal quality which  to a large extent is programmed by our environment from early childhood onwards. However, once we grow up we have it in our hands to replace those parts of our basic programming which we find do not serve our purpose in life.

Attitude can be “re-programmed” too. It is a process you cannot do it by pressing a button, but once you are alerted to the need of it and you actually want it you can do it.

The first step will be to spot the bits you want to change. Are you perhaps one of those people who in a conversation with others find it easy to agree on the surface by saying “yes, BUT”? I give you an example. I show you a way how to create leads in network marketing today. You listen carefully and then you reply: Yes, I perfectly understand where you are coming from, but don’t you think I could do it that and that way? Hm – as a matter if fact you have only humored me,  however, you  have said NO between the lines.

This kind of attitude is not very obvious and most people will consider it charming behaviour and  interaction, yet it is limiting. It limits your willingness of being coachable. Does this serve you? Certainly not!

Once you are alerted to the topic you will start noticing it when you are interacting. At first perhaps a little annoyed, then over time you will grin and know you have “caught yourself” once again in the old pattern. You will start noticing the same behaviour in many others and eventually you will stop it.

Wow – you have grown! Spot the next handicap in your programming and start working on it.

You may say this is hard – yes, may be it is, but it is very well worth your time.

If you are willing to accept support in this venture find yourself a mastermind group of like-minded people.Your progress will be a lot faster and it will be more fun to share and learn, as you won’t feel alone in the desert with a task which is a challenge.

The best thing, if you are stepping into this process because you want to have success at network marketing, would be to join a mastermind group of network marketers – that will cover two topics in one stroke. You will grow and you can improve other skills at the same time, no matter in which business you are.

Whatever we do in life, energy is at the bottom of it if we realise it or not.

- Having energy is the first rule of success. It is more important than any other aspect.

- Know how to concentrate energy. You must focus your energy on important matters. it is the only way to make sure you don’t disperse it!

Take a laser beam – it can be used for cutting, even for surgeries and many other highly specialised applications.

Accordingly nothing will add more power to your life than concentrating your energy on your goals.
To achieve success you need to create this laser focus of bundling all your energy directing it on your burning desire. This will let you achieve success.

Draw from all your resources, use all your talents and faculties, boost your energy, focus all you know and can do on your objective.
We cannot walk up and down a hill in the same time – so when we really want to achieve, there is only one way – bundle your energy and focus.

This attitude is a necessity in life and business in general, but even more so in network marketing, where your success is a direct reply to who you are.

The Law of Attraction works.

For long term achievement in MLM you can’t beat hard work! In fact luck may be considered hard work too. To achieve it, it again takes hard work. You need to work on your attitude on your personal development, your professional background and education and a lot more and the resulting attraction will provide you with sustainability and growth. Needed not only in business but in any aspect of life.

It is hard work to achieve a goal and it has a lot to do with commitment and persistence. If you are “all in”, committed 100%, and you are truly dedicating yourself to your goal passionately, you are on the right track. However, if you have doubts or are not sure about your path and the directions to go, life might get a bit bumpy for you, lots of work feeling like hard labor.

Persistence and being able to face mistakes, even learning from them, as well as being able to handle rejection, and criticism will take you far. No matter how many people tell you “you can’t do it”, or “it will never work”; you carry on irrespective and move to the next steps.

Always consider and evaluate the lessons you have learned – there is no sense in making the same mistake over and over again!.

Working hard for a goal gives a lot of satisfaction and will keep a smile on your face, which again is a way to multiply your efforts.

All of a sudden luck will show up and things will fall into place: Be grateful and know “You Are There” – on the right path!

An ant hill, as  in the picture, is a very precisely organized society. Everything is in place, nothing is left to chance. Everything they do is organized and duplicable by all the ants who belong to this group. No wonder they are masters at survival as well as at accomplishment.

Jim Rohn:

Over the years, I have been teaching kids about a simple yet powerful concept: The Ant Philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy.

     1. Ants Never Quit

That’s a good maxim. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over and under, they’ll crawl around and they keep looking for another way – they don’t give up. What an awesome philosophy to never quit finding ways to reach where you want to go. A true role model!

     2. Ants think about “winter” all summer

What a circumspect attitude. It simply wouldn’t make sense to think summer will last forever. Ants collect their food for the winter all over summer.

Quotations like “don’t build your house on sand” are founded. A house needs a foundation to last and very much the same way we need to look ahead and need to do things in a well structured way as the ants – never deterred by averse “winds”.

      3. Ants think about “summer” all winter

This is so important. During the winter ants keep reminding themselves “This won’t last long – we’ll soon be out again” and on the first warm day, the ants come out of their winter domicile. They are flexible though – when it turns cold again, they dive back in.  however they sense the warmth and can’t wait to stay out doing their job.

     4. How much will an ant collect in summer to prepare for the winter

The answer is: All they possibly can. What an incredible “all-you-possibly-can” philosophy!

What do you think? The Ant Philosophy – what a great philosophy to have

• Never give up.
• Look ahead.
• Stay positive.
• Do All you can.

Leading by example, no bragging, no pitching – helping others on.

Life is  precious  – enjoy the ride!

"You cannot sit on the road to success for if you do, you will get runover"   Anonymous

This is so true, especially when it comes to MLM. You only need to go  and surf the internet and you will quickly realize that this industry is full of hype. Advertising business opportunities where you get not only something, but “all” for nothing – people claiming that they will build your downline if you only sign up. This is weird – just look at the law of attraction in this context – somebody just singing up expecting to have his downline built – doesn’t this equal “sitting on the road to success”?? It is the kind of situation where lazy bodies “road sitters” are attracted and they sit pretty fat if you ask me!

It seems hard to believe that there are people who actually buy into all these offers and of course as a result the internet is brimming full with people who never ever have success in their network marketing business. First they started it with the wrong attitude of expecting something for nothing and second nobody ever told them what to do instead – it really is a situation of “having been run over”.

It is about time that we wake up when surfing the internet. All the parameters have to be applied to an opportunity on the internet which we would no doubt apply when looking for a business offline in “the real world”.

Of course we will read the contract there so that we know what to expect. First we need to know what kind of work we are expected to perform, at which level, which qualifications are required, what the boss will expect from us so that he will keep us on.

And most certainly we will want to know what we will be paid for the work we are supposed to do.

Very likely if we don’t know the company  we will also make some inquiries if they are decent people so that we can expect a job without extra risk.

If only these 3 parameters would be taken into account when looking for a business on the internet far less trouble would arise. Yet on the internet and in particular when it is MLM which is the topic, most people seem to have a magic switch which stops them from thinking straight – what’s more, quite a number of people when questioned regarding these three points will be top lofty and consider you negative and that for the simple reason of suggesting they apply common sense! Isn’t it absurd?

When you have decided that you want to look for a network marketing business the best you can do is to get yourself educated well right from start. This will save you years of failure and frustration.

Everywhere you had to accept the people around you if you wanted to or not. Fortunately we do have some nice ones around in each stage of life, but we also have to cope with some who are really not to our taste. It gets even worse when the people you don’t like are your teachers, your boss or even members of the family. We never ever had a choice!

It is fabulous in network marketing once you have understood that you do not need everybody you meet – in fact you need only a hand full of people and make sure you choose those where you can very well imagine to be on a long cruise together and enjoy and have fun! This is critically important – why? Well in a good network marketing business you will be partners for life – so you better make sure you like the people you chose.

This is a very clear concept, yet to be able to pull it through you also need a company that understands and gives you the right kind of support. A highly ethical attitude is what you need on all levels – company, upline and partners. You will perhaps ask how you are supposed to find out about the company. No problem there is free coaching at hand where you learn it all if you are coachable. There are clear criteria by which you can determine what is what.

As far as your upline is concerned – well simply request help and support – ethical people will gladly provide it and be happy to serve you. Make sure you trust the law of attraction, as when a big group of ethical people join to form a mastermind group it is automatic that it is like minded people who are attracted -  the others will not feel comfortable in such a team – too much challenge if you don’t serve from your heart!

All the best of luck with this challenge and feel free to be in touch for support.

You are invited to a special dinner – all is ready and you just need to sit down with relish. So what happens – does the waiter dump the entire dinner including aperitif, starter, soup, main course, desert, all the belonging drinks and wines as well as coffee in front of you and leaves?

I am sure you laugh – certainly not – you get it all nicely served in due course, they will ask you what you prefer and will ask you if all is ok and they give you nice breaks in between to enjoy and let it settle – otherwise you might be getting indigestion instead of  having had an enjoyable evening.

Now let’s consider the steep learning curve in comparison. Every person will enter a course at the personal level of knowledge – not two persons are equal as far as knowledge and background is concerned.

When you look round you will find plenty of courses where you are simply dumped with a heap of resources and that’s it. Yet like with a delicious meal if you really want to make the most of it you need to get your information – first adapted to “where you are” and second in portions which you can digest and you need someone with whom to discuss the material, who will point you here and there to facilitate the training.

Especially in an industry as network marketing where a comprehensive education is not state of the art and lots of people seem to think they can do it anyways – well this situation as well as attitude is reflected in long-term numbers: 97% of all network marketers never make it, it is vital to make people increasingly aware of this situation.

Good coaching and mentoring is a necessity!

It is the easiest and one of the best ways of learning to lean “a bit” then put it into practical use and then learn again. This way you become proficient step by step, you learn the “trade” as an apprentice and after a year or two you are a network marketing professional who will be on the road to success, building a team based on relationships and trust, you will be able to give your team the same kind of training you received and you have a mastermind group at hand – the people who trained you – what an enjoyable ride. Success is the direct result of this approach and you will love it.

People who become rich always become the center of gossip. You will hear all sorts of comments like – well “she has had the right background, the right education, incredible luck,…” and a lot more along these lines. There is no doubt in people’s heads that  these are the dominant criteria for having achieved success, “luck” . Statements like these scream “ENVY” even though nobody will own up it! Attitude is a word never considered by the man in the street who spends his time in spreading gossip.

Let us investigate into this topic. What needs to be done to achieve extraordinary success:

• You need to have the mindset for success
• A written goal and dream
• A definite plan – and
• You need to take massive action

Mindset

What’s mindset to do with success? Unless your thought centers around success nothing will happen. It is our subconscious mind which has a major part in what we manifest. Yet as Napoleon Hill says, the subconscious is dumb it accepts whatever is fed to it, no matter if positive, sad, negative or whatever. It is surprising! Mostly when people meet up with negative stuff they get heated and emotional about it and it is emotion which conditions thoughts that they are readily accepted by the subconscious. No wonder that so few people manifest wealth.

To be able to manifest wealth you have to program the subconscious with  thoughts about wealth and they have to be charged with emotion to make the subconscious understand. In a world where negativity prevails this wealth programming of the subconscious is a task which has to be performed on a regular basis with the necessary emotion and faith attached to it. Only perseverance in this topic will create the required results.

Written Goal and Dream

To be able to program the subconscious well,  a written goal and dream is essential support. It keeps you focused on the regular task of programming the subconscious. Manifestation takes time so this focus is a needed tool.

Definite Plan

When we keep working with our subconscious the means how we can achieve our goal and dream will pop up and we need to implement it into our definite plan. If you don’t pay attention to the input of your “gut feeling” you may miss out on information given to you by the infinite intelligence and your manifestation may not happen or happen at a later stage after you have mastered this step.

Massive Action

It is a well know truth – it is not enough to know we need to do it – to implement what we have learned!

Most people are totally unawares of these mental laws which explains why they don’t succeed or only on a moderate scale yet some have understood these laws and succeed at an astounding rate.

In every single business you will benefit greatly when you take this to heart and particularly if you want to build  a successful MLM business.  It is a necessity! Connect with people who understand these principles and help you apply them. I want to extend my gratitude to Michael Dlouhy who teaches these principles in an excellent way.
