Who is responsible for your success? That’s the million dollar question that the majority of network marketers have the wrong answer to.
Some think success depends on the company – The company screwed up their product order or the compensation plan isn’t paying enough, Or XYZ company has a antioxidant juice with a higher ORAC score, so they are on to another company in the never ending quest for success.
Some think success depends on their upline – Many times distributors have wanted to switch to my downline because their upline wasn’t helping. Occasionally I get phone calls of people interviewing me to be their possible sponsor. One woman asked me what I was going to do for her and insisted that I place people under her. Ha Ha Ha! I told her I place distributors under people who prove themselves worthy. She hung up.
People that want success handed to them will never experience success and the freedom that this business can bring.
So, What’s the Secret to Success? Baby It’s YOU!!!
You are responsible for your own success the same way I am responsible for my success. It doesn’t mater what company or product you sell or if you have a crummy upline or a really supportive upline, your success depends on YOU.
There is always a learning curve in any business. I have been in this industry for 14 years and I am STILL learning.
What amazes me is the way some distributors get into a company and act like, “I’m here! Where’s the MONEY?” Nobody actually says it that way but that’s the impression they give off. It’s like they are expecting the business to grow itself by osmosis.
YOU must learn the business. Learn about the company, its products and compensation plan. You need to get plugged into your upline’s system of supporting distributors. Subscribe to their newsletters. I have 3 newsletters for my primary company. One is for educating and prospecting toward product users. The other two newsletters are for my downline only. One is for customers and the other is for business builders. A serious professional business person will be subscribed to all three. Not only that, they will track upline and request to be subscribed to ALL support systems in their upline.
YOU must learn prospecting and business building techniques. There are lots of people who have been successful in the business. Learn from them. Read books, subscribe to newsletters, listen to audios.
YOU must apply things you learn on a DAILY basis. Practice Practice Practice and get better at building your business.
YOU must persist. Never Never Never give up.
My all time favorite quote: “Those who want milk don’t just sit in a field and wait for a cow to back up to them.
Success is within your grasp. Will you grab hold of it?
