To be successful in life, in Multi level marketing, or for that matter in any worthy virtuous adventure, it is vital that you become coachable, teachable, trainable, and willing to go the extra mile if you seek to produce success. Just a few weekends back I was at a Company training event for my primary Mlm business that was comprehensively terrific. The atmosphere at Company events is something that has to be experienced it's not something that can be described. If you've been at events you'll know what I mean, if you haven't been there, then be sure to attend your next big company convention. You'll want to get as many people on your team there as possible. You'll be excited once you have. The effect and results will astound you. Since that event the last several weeks have been spent designing new presentations, mastering new information gleaned from the event, and reflecting on all that I experienced. I've been trying to keep the experience as fresh as possible in mind and spirit. I wish that I wish I could duplicate the experience I had with the same zest and vigor, bottle it, and ship it out to everyone. I would make it immediately available for my own, and everyone else's teams. Sharing is the next best thing, and so what follows is just some of the insights and growth I've had from the event. These are some golden nuggets picked up from the event: "You have to work as hard, or even harder on yourself than your business in order to succeed in this industry." I was shocked when I heard this put so plain and purposefully. The truth just rolled right out there for a change. Most people, companies, Guru's, and trainers jump arround the subject, want you to sign up for their success club, buy their training, etc., but few ever come out and just tell you the truth plainly without something to sell you. "Your attitude is the nucleus of it all. If you don't master personal development you can have the greatest product/presentation/and company in the industry and still you will fail." "Remember people join people in this industry, not products, not pay plans, and not opportunities." "They join you." Having a foundation as a success mentor and author has always given me a little different perspective on MLM then perhaps many other "Gurus" and teachers out there. Most talk about systems, tools, and trainings, aimed at solving all your MLM troubles and leading you to stellar success as a result. All you have to do is follow the simple outline and plan, or so they say. And to a large degree that is true. It addresses and takes care of the outside oneself aspects of the success equation, also called the external action steps. The problem is most of the plans and outlines never provide a sound plan and reasonable expectations for the personal growth factor necessary in bringing up new network marketing recruits. These are the inside oneself aspects of the success equation, or the internal action steps required to succeed. Success is as much an inside job as it is an outside one. For some people it may be even more. It all depends where you are starting from.. To really succeed in this industry you will need both, mastery of self (an internal job) and mastery of process (an external job). No success is immediate. It is a cumulative effect of small daily disciplines, a slight edge. It is a slight deviation from the course of action that everyone else is on. Success in not something you pursue it is something you become. Most of it is an inside job and this is where people seem to fail dreadfully and then cite an abundance of outside reasons as the cause. Systems work and we don't need to re-invent the wheel of Network Marketing Success, what we need to start doing is re-inventing ourselves. To illustrate this point the following questions all represent inside aspects of the success equation necessary for success in MLM. Answer these questions honestly and evaluate the distance between where you stand now and where you need to stand to succeed in achieving your goals. It is my guess most of us will find we need to get our self-improvement plans in order immediately. Are you showing up regularly for success? " Are you consistently making those small improvements and taking the necessary baby steps each day that lead to the outcome you desire most in life? " Are you the kind of person you would join in business and do you have an outstanding attitude and infectious enthusiasm? " Both your business and your self will require development time. Are you in it then for the long haul? Are you committed every day? " Do you possess the necessary faith to take that first step before the way presents itself? " Are you firm in your purpose and clear about your reasons why? " Are you ablaze with a burning desire in your heart to achieve your dreams? " Do your actions and deeds radiate integrity? " Are you willing to pay the price and make the sacrifices your dreams and goals may require of you today? To be successful in this industry it is imperative you understand one simple cornerstone principle integral in achieving great success in this industry. People join People not companies, products, or pay plans. Among other things you must present an attractive character and you must convey value to your prospects. They won't join you without it. To be persuasive you need to be a person of quality and value. To do that you must convey primarily two things, Trust and Respect. Strive to be a quality person, a valuable person who radiates integrity, a positive enthusiastic addition to every environment you are in and you will become magnetic. A 3 part Success Foundation: 1.) One is to master awareness. Listen, Sense, and Intuit. Become constantly awake to the opportunities that surround you every moment of every day. Here's my question to people: how are you going to do this if you are constantly overcome with your own selfishness and the stinking thinking that accompanies it? How can you become attuned to the needs of others, seek them out, and present solutions if your head is focused on you and your "stuff". How can you do this if you are so worried about yourself, your circumstances, and your ego that the needs and concerns of others rarely enter your consciousness? You are in a business of helping people, of finding needs and filling them so show it. Make the shift internally.. People will notice and be attracted to the change in you. You'll become more successful as a result. 2.) Your Attitude. How is your attitude influencing the general environment and the people arround you?. Are you a positive addition to every environment you are in? Are people apt to feel like they have gained a new best friend after they meet you? Are you one of those people who can light up a room with your presence and charm, or are you one of those who sucks the air out of it? What would those who know you best say about you? What would they say about the attitude you display? Is your attitude causing you to be attractive to others or a repellant? If you were to choose new officers and a board of directors for your new business venture would you pick you? You cannot overestimate the value of a great attitude that comes right from your core. It's value isworth more than gold and it is incredibly attractive to others. If you don't possess a great attitude that radiates from within you already, then I suggest you start making immediate plans to achieve one. No one needs to be perfect here, but all these elemnts of self will directly impact your results in this industry. 3.) Your Actions. Do you regularly seize opportunities to assist others, or do you rarely notice them? Do you do your part each day to uncover the needs of others, provide solutions, and help people to achieve what they want most in life? Do you follow the crowd or lead the crowd? Do you follow through with what you say? Do you posess integrity? Do you wait for opportunity to find you, or are you out creating it every day? Consistent action is the bedrock upon which success is built. Are you building your business firmly upon granite, or are you setting up camp in the sand? What would others answer about you? Answers to these questions are a success barometer for the inner strategy aspects of your MLM Business. If you will be honest with yourself you can fairly grade your performance. Chances are we'll all find an opportunity for our personal development plans to grow. The slight edge difference we make every day to improve ourselves and our results overtime makes all the difference in the end. It is daily differences compounded over time that takes us to the lives and success we dream about. Tips for that Slight Edge: Getting my mornings started right involves putting my attitude in the right place and focusing my energy on the right things. To help me do this I created a motivational video for myself. It's just one way I'm doing things differently to improve my results. You are all welcome to try it out for yourselves as part of your daily regimens. It's just a part of my slight edge for the day. You can find the link to the video below which is available on my blog site under the Motivational Video Tab. This is just one small perspective and off shoot that grew from teachings and inspiration acquired at the company event I attended.. Get your team and yourself to your companies next great event. It should really be no surprise that all the leaders in your business will already be there. Get yourself and your team to the next event and watch your team, your income, and your personal growth plan start expanding.
