Law of Attraction is not a Magic Wand from a Fairy Tale, it’s in a way Universal Physics

When you consider a “magic wand” of  performing magicians it can , however, be likened to the law of attraction.

To perform a magic show you need to  be the master of your “tricks” – know exactly what you do when and that you need to do it just right to keep you audience in awe.

And of course we all wish it was simple but making the law of attraction work for you is just as tricky. Physics work, so do universal physics, but we have to figure out to make it work for us so that we actually get what we want and where we want.

The question is not if you  believe in the law of attraction or not. If you do what is required  the law of attraction works anyways, very much like you can drive a card yet don’t know how to make it if you get it as a load of all the single parts of it. So let’s look at some basics.

• Start your day with positive thoughts,
  instead of thinking about having to get up once again so early  and all the stress of the new day which is waiting for you. Starting your day on negative thoughts is setting you up for failure. You are switching on the “magnetism of negative experience”. Make the effort of starting your day on positive thoughts.
• Visualize already at the end of the day  what your next day will be and how much you will get done and achieved. Such a positive picture will let you rest a lot better and it will provide the grounds for relaxed waking up as you have it all in place ahead of time.
• A good way not to get hooked on negative thoughts is to not  think at all or to think of minor, trivial things – nice ones, like the good joke you heard a couple of days back or whatever.
• Then stretch, take a deep breath and think of something you like, something that gives you joy or positive expectancy – may be an outing you have in mind, a person you love, your pet, there are so many options and everyone will choose different.
• Keep you mind away from negative thoughts. The best way to do it is to keep the mind occupied with what you are doing. This has a dual benefit – first you don’t fall into negative thoughts and second when you focus on what you  are doing your performance will be excellent and you have another positive input as a result.

I guess this sounds easy – it is, but it needs practice, it needs applying the Slight Edge Strategy:

All easy things can be done easily, but they can also easily not be done.

So don’t worry about more complicated approaches you might run across – do the simple thing but do it.

When you apply this slight edge strategy also to your success in network marketing today you will find, that there are many simple things which need to be done to get you successful and every single one can be done easily, but can also easily not be done. And for the sheer fact that it is all so easy, the long-term importance tends not to be seen and considered in the right way.

In network marketing today public speaking is unavoidable.

Provided you really do it as a business  you will be having a group after a while. You will have to speak up in front of others – may it be in a conference call or at a personal meeting somewhere locally or if you are really successful at building your network marketing business you will be asked to speak at the convention of your company.

Of course when you consider public speaking there may well be a fear element inside you, however, practice is the key.

I came across an interesting story about horses. Some horses graze on the side of the railroad tracks, seemingly not minding or fearful when trains rush bye them. And then there are horses who fear even their own shadows. How come?

Well, the horses who apparently graze near the railway track  obviously have adapted – they overcame their fear by habit. Seemingly the grass tastes better by the railroad tracks, so by practicing grazing in spite of the trains, they faced their fears and overcame it.

The magic wand is practice practice and practice again. Practice by saying a few words here and there on calls, by speaking up in small more familiar groups until this constant practice will turn into habit and remove any lingering fear you have of public speaking. At times someone suggests practicing in front of a mirror – well, may be until you know what you want to say that may help, but it is not the same as speaking in front of an audience, YOUR audience.

Let’s assume you stand up in front of your team for the first time -  you certainly will be having will have a supportive audience, eager to hear what you have to say. You are their role model – they know the will have to do it sooner or later.

By the time you receive the honour of being asked to speak at the annual convention of your network marketing company you will have acquired enough practice that you will be able to speak there without a fear problem.

Start at once – practice makes perfect and the more practice you get the better you will be. In the process also observe other speakers and make notes of what you like about them and what not and this will help you too.

As somebody who is roaming the internet on a quest of building a home business you for sure have seen plenty of programs for network marketers which promise you plenty of leads on auto-pilot – 20 per day and more.

Now help me think – and I am not going to debate if this is possible or not – let’s simply  assume it is possible – after all it is being propagated by so many.

You get your first 20 leads. To call them to start a relationship will take you a few minutes per person – let’s say only about 5 minutes – this, together with the notes you will have to make will take you roughly 2 hours. You will say – that’s easy. Now the next day you have another 20 leads, again about 2 hours work, the 3rd day and the remaining days of the week too – in all 14 hours a week. Wow you were good you actually pulled it through to spend 2 hours per day on your business. You are proud of yourself -  you have found the magic wand in network marketing!

However – see the second week – you have some follow up activities for about 140 people. It needs to be done as you are aware “one contact is no contact” – if you take it at steps it will mean about an hour a day for the various follow up activities, but now there are the next 20 leads per day too and altogether you end up with 3 hours per day. Wow this is starting to become real work – 21 hours a week.

Consider the third week – you have 280 people for the follow up activities half for the first round, half for the second round and you are good, you can do this in a couple of hours and of course the 2 hours for the new leads………..I hope you get me! You in fact start wondering how this can be duplicable in a profession where the major percentage of people are having their main job on top of it and of course lots of them have family ties and obligations too. Hm – and yet you keep telling them “you’ll be getting 20 leads per day on auto-pilot” – but strangely enough you are not relaxed any more when you propagate this…….

When you have to call so many people you automatically  have an agenda – your agenda will be time and your capacity to remember, don’t forget: notes don’t do all – your prospects become more and more aware that you are not actually listening to them but doing a kind of routine job – they sense that you are stressed out and in a hurry when all they want is being heard – heard for whatever they might need in their business. The feeling that they are kind of treated as numbers is cropping in and …

after a few more weeks time very likely you will wake up because you see that in spite of all the well organised and massive work you are doing for your MLM business people don’t stay on, don’t connect with you, but instead move on to find someone with whom they will be “a person with a problem” who is seeking a coach and mentor who will listen to them without an agenda and help them to overcome their difficulties, to develop the skills they need, to grow as a person as, to achieve more you have to become more.

This personal growth factor does not only apply to your new people and business relationships, but it applies very much so also to yourself. When you work with people in a heart felt and respectful way you grow yourself and after a while you will be an awesome leader – loved and respected not only by the own group but by everyone  around you.

So what do you think – do you want to be someone’s relationship on auto-pilot or do you much rather go the human way, building life-long relationships of friendship and trust?
