Plan – Do – Review – Adjust was an approach which was discussed by Art Jonak at a seminar I attended this autumn. It sounds pretty simple when you see it, yet it has power – power to change your business to such an extent that you suddenly will find yourself on the road to success.

PLAN

Of course you need to plan! Most people who join a network marketing opportunity let it “flow”. As a result they find themselves in a position where they are only the observers of success. Folks – network marketing is a business not a game! there is no business which you can develop without a plan. It would be like building a house with out one. There is no way this leads to success!

DO

As the famous German poet Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe said – “It is not enough to know, you also need to apply it”!

There are so many people out there who gather information and more information, they list pros and cons and “know it all” yet they never ever make a move to pull all of it into life. Eventually some of them even claim “to have worked so much and yet they didn’t become successful” – well of course not – a house doesn’t get built by studying the plan!

REVIEW

There are of course those who plan, who do and yet realise at some stage that they are not getting to where they want to be – you need to give it some time to find out that you are actually stuck but if you do, take step 3 and start to REVIEW – list what has worked and what hasn’t ask those you co-operate with how they see certain things and then make a change

ADJUST

But be careful – make 1 change at a time only! WHY? Well if you change several things at the same time you have no chance of knowing which of the changes turned the ship around!

If you want to build your network marketing business in an entrepreneurial style you need to apply this process again and again. It is the shortest way to YOUR SUCCESS!

Have fun investigating this idea and DO it!

The other day I read a sentence  which struck me:

"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.

To Your Success

You for sure know the story of the old man who died in the floods. Here it is:

In an area rain caused the water of the river to rise. After a while the roads had turned into shallow rivers too. People were hurrying to get out into safety. A group bypassed an old man who was looking out on the road from the window of his house. They asked him to come along – they offered him their help. the old man said not to worry as he was sure  God would help him. A while later when the water level had increased in the roads some people passed bye in a boat and again wanted to take him along and again the old man refused their help. then finally when the situation in that area had become desperate and the old man was sitting on the flat roof of his house a helicopter passed bye and the crew wanted to pull the old man up, who in spite of the precarious situation refused yet again and kept waiting for God’s support. In the end he died in the floods. Coming up to heaven he met God and was very angry. He told God that he had been a firm believer all his life and that he felt his trust in him had been in vain. God replied: I sent you the walking people, the boat as well as the helicopter – what else do you think I should have done?

This story is very critical  for real life. There are so many people who by normal means are having a touch time making ends meet and yet they constantly refuse to step on the road to success. Some are offered:

• Various network marketing solutions. They often don’t even look at them and if they do they refuse.
• They are offered free network marketing coaching which would show them how to succeed in network marketing and again they refuse.

Many of them have at some stage in life met up with a weird network marketing definition and have closed their ears as a result not realising that they have been doing referral marketing all their lives.

Even as a child we know how to promote what we want and want to get friends join us at the playground, for an ice cream, a book, a TV program or what ever. Later in life we are hot when we tell our friends about a super bargain we have just found, a wonderful restaurant, a holiday location, where to buy the cheapest petrol and “umpteen” other things – the only snag about it – we never ever got paid for it.

All of a sudden, when this natural be haviour is brought to them by the name of a network marketing opportunity, as a solution to step on the road of success which may put them in a position to finally own their life, it is not being recognised.

Fortunately many people eventually  have an “aha” moment where they wake up, where they see the chance of having success in network marketing – although some never do. which group do you belong to?

This is the point where free network marketing training becomes attractive all of a sudden, they grab mlm on line training and finally get going on their road to success.

Feel free to be in touch if I have helped you to wake up – I’ll be honoured to point you to excellent mlm training material which is there for free – just to be picked up and used
