Eight Suggestions for Succeeding in Network Marketing

Here are Eight Suggestions for Succeeding. This was taken from the book "Wooden." It has direct application to success in the network marketing world. I have added comments to each suggestion to better serve you. Enjoy.



1. Fear no opponent. Respect every opponent. (Fear only creates lack. Respect and learn from others. There is more than enough to go around.)



2. Remember, it's the perfection of the smallest details that make big things happen. (I believe it is easier to work on the big things than the little "pain in the rear" things, but how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.)



3. Keep in mind that hustle makes up for many a mistake. (We all make mistakes; that's just human nature, but pick yourself up and get going and do your best to right what was wrong.)



4. Be more interested in character than reputation. (Love this one. Character is doing what is right while reputation is what others think of you. If you are doing what is right, you may at times be standing alone. Adherence to correct principles will always bring success.)



5. Be quick, but don't hurry. (Being quick takes conscious thought while hurrying takes no thought.)



6. Understand that the harder you work, the more luck you will have. (Another favorite. Get out of the "Quick Rich" mentality. If you are in a no work, overnight success business, you are in a scam. Here's a hint for you-Your target market is anyone on the welfare system. Ouch, I just said that.)



7. Know that valid self-analysis is crucial for improvement. (Don't fool yourself in thinking you are better than you are but on the same hand don't beat yourself up. Just get better. GET A MENTOR!)



8. Remember that there is no substitute for hard work and careful planning. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. (Need I say more?)



You really don't need to struggle in network marketing. There are so many tools and resources out there. The hardest part is trying to decipher which ones are worth your while. This much I do know, there is a ton of useful training out there for free. Quit spending your money on useless tools that are promoting other products.

Six Ways to Win Friends (and Build a downline that LASTS)

This is taken from the book "The Magic of Thinking Big." It applies directly to leadership and network marketing. Here are six ways to win friends by exercising just a little initiative:

1. Introduce yourself to others at every possible opportunity---at parties, meetings, on airplanes, at work, everywhere. [The key here is not to push a business opportunity. In fact, don't even talk about it, unless you like be shunned. Be genuinely interested in them. LISTEN-LISTEN-LISTEN]

2. Be sure the other person gets your name straight. [I always get called Brandon. My name is Brendan]

3. Be sure you can pronounce the other person's name the way he pronounces it. [Repeat it to yourself 7 times]

4. Write down the other person's name, and be mighty sure you have it spelled correctly; people have a fetish about the correct spelling of their own names! If possible, get his address and phone number, also. [I would at something positive that stood out to you and bring that up next time you speak with them.]

5. Drop a personal note or make a phone call to the new friends you feel you want to know better. This is an important point. Most successful people follow through on new friends with a letter or a phone call. [With the internet and technology our outreach of friends is growing. Check out Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, Bebo, Zenn Zuu, Tagged, etc. I'm on all of them and have developed some great friends of which most I have never met face to face.]

6. And last but not least, say pleasant things to strangers. It warms you up and gets you ready for the task ahead. [What goes around comes around. Your thoughts will lead to better actions. Go and read chapter 13 in the book Think and Grow Rich.]

Remember the key to building a business is not having the best product. Most companies have a great product. Great products don't equal great companies. This is a business of PEOPLE. Serve others and you will gain the greatest reward. Be a friend, be a mentor, be a leader, and be successful.

My favorite question to ask is, "What can I do to help YOU today?" If I help you become successful, somehow I am more successful. My 5 Pillar company grows and there's a good chance it won't include you. It's amazing how it always works out.

Train Your MLM “Coaching Eye”

When you’re networking, it’s important to see the picture from the other person’s viewpoint. If that person is to achieve their dreams, if they are to become a more effective networker themselves, then you need to help them get better … but don’t kill them in the process.

There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. Even though somebody else takes a totally different approach from yours, it may well be just as effective … or more so. You certainly want to encourage that.

On the other hand, it may not work at all. THEN what do you do? It’s important to get them going on the right track, but you can’t publicly embarrass them or put them down. That discourages them. So you must be able to see the situation through the other person’s eyes. You want them to see you as a coach they can learn from. Talk about what they are doing right, as well as what improvements they can make.

You’ve got to do 2 things at the same time - move the person off their “failure-path” AND build them up, so they can feel the joy and the belief. If a person has no belief and confidence, it doesn’t much matter what path they are on. They aren’t going anywhere. So when you coach a person, you must walk that fine line of BOTH bolstering their confidence AND changing their direction. It’s not easy. But that’s why network marketing pays so well.

Does It Have To Be Your Way Or The Highway?

We all have moments when our thinking is … well … suspect. You have a lot of confidence that your thinking is right. But on the other hand … maybe it isn’t. How do you tell the difference? Here’s an idea that has helped me in both personal relationships and in my MLM business, and maybe it will help you.

Ask yourself, “What is behind this line of thinking?” At times, you will discover a very stubborn opinion that may have originated in a single long-ago incident. Something like:

“It’s my way or the highway.”
“Prospects just don’t listen.”
“Women can’t stick to a budget.”
“Men are bull-headed.”
“Kids can’t be trusted.”

Obviously, the list could go on forever. Probably, no thought on this list rings true for you. But we all have similar types of stubborn ideas that have hung around forever, and which sabotage relationships and our MLM business-building today. The trick is to recognize and get rid of them. Can you think right now of 2 or 3 of those recurring, age-old thoughts that have dictated how you live your life?

You can certainly improve your results by gaining new skills and by adding new, achievement-oriented thinking in your life. But you can also improve your results by recognizing faulty thinking or misdirected actions … and then get rid of them. As you do, people will notice that you have become wiser and gentler, and it will be much easier for you to build the relationships that build your network marketing business.

The Strangest MLM Secret

Back in the 1950s, the radio commentator Earl Nightingale did a daily radio commentary. One of his presentations in particular was re-played and re-played, ultimately reaching an audience of millions of people … very unusual for that day and age.

The title of that commentary was, “The Strangest Secret.” And the “strangest secret” is, you become what you think about most of the time.

Most people can look at that thought today and say, “Well, sure, that’s pretty obvious.” And yet … so many of us still think of ourselves on a daily basis as very limited people, and we actually talk our limitations into existence.

An old saying goes, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.” Here’s the thing. If you think you can’t do it, if you think you aren’t worthy, if you think you can’t ever change, if you think you are always destined to be a loser, then … your mind figures, “Why even try? I can’t do it. I know that. So why even try?”

And even if you make an effort, it’s just for show. You do just enough to say, “Well, I tried.” And then you can comfortably fail again, just like you knew you would.

Success and achievement require a real effort. That will not happen if your mind is repeating, “I can’t do it.”

The only way to change that is to constantly be on the lookout. Listen for that little voice that says. “I can’t.” Anytime you hear it, just say, “That’s stupid. I’m a different person than I was last time. This is a whole different circumstance. Let’s just do it!”

When you clear your mind of the trash, you are much closer to success.

Your friends for life!
