9 Ways To Build Belief In Yourself and the Network Marketing Industry
To be a successful, full time network marketer it is crucial that you build belief. You want the freedom that lifestyle can bring. That amount of success will never come if you don’t believe. You need belief not only in yourself and your ability to get there but you also must believe in the network marketing industry.
Here are a few ways to build belief:
1. Using the Products – You must believe in the products or services you are offering otherwise, you’ll never be able to have belief in the industry or your ability to build a business.
Let me tell you, a great product experience can work wonders in building belief in your ability to sell it. My product experience is the reason I am in the network marketing industry today. Use the products. You’ll have great stories to tell and STORIES SELL!
2. Attend Events – You should be attending as many events as you possibly can. Whenever you can get together with other distributors you can learn from each other. Not only learning but energizing each other.
3. Listen to audios and videos – There are loads of audios and videos put out by your company, your upline and other network marketing trainers. Serious network marketers are listening to these trainings as much as possible. The more you listen, the more you will be able to speak up about things that will help other people.
4. Attend Conference Calls – Listening to and even participating in conference calls is another awesome way to build belief in yourself and the network marketing industry. Conference calls are a great way to learn more and polish up your skills.
There are a lot of conference calls you can access, especially if you are using any of the training on the internet. It is impossible to be on all of them. Usually these conference calls are recorded so you can listen anytime.
5. Read Books – I know, you already know reading books is important but I am always amazed how few books people actually read. That is one reason why I put my reading list online a while back. It’s not even the full list. I just went through books I have in my office and ones I could remember.
6. Subscribe to Newsletters & Blogs – There are loads of blogs and newsletters that you can benefit from. It is particularly important to subscribe to all upline newsletters you can find.
Also subscribe to newsletters and blogs on marketing, personal development and things related to your company. I also recommend subscribing to industry journals like Network Marketing Times Magazine.
7. Talk to someone who has done it – Find someone in your upline who has achieved what you are wanting to achieve. Talk to them. Learn what they did to be successful. Not only what they did but notice their mindset.
8. Affirmations – I have been a firm believer in affirmations for a long time. The words you use have power. You raise or lower your energy and belief by the words you use. You can even program yourself and your habits. You can change things you don’t like.
Affirmations can be effective in helping reprogram success habits. Add EFT to your affirmations and watch the changes you can make. I never do affirmations without adding some EFT. It’s powerful. Give it a try.
9. Visualization – See yourself and feel what it feels like to achieve success in network marketing. Spend a little time each day visualizing and getting comfortable with various aspects of your business.
These are just a few things you can do to build belief. I’m sure there are others I haven’t mentioned.

Believe in your product and believe in your ability to be successful. That is exactly the bottomline for a good marketing strategy and the success of the business. I really like the no.5 belief – Read books. There is still more to reading books that just purely relying on the net.
Hi Melodie,
The importance of building belief in yourself and the network marketing industry cannot be understated. Belief in yourself is one thing, but I also think a lot of people are held back because deep down they fear that someone will think they are involved in one of those “pyramid things”. Belief in network marketing as a viable business model is essential.

I agree Eldon. I had a bit of a problem myself in the beginning about the network marketing industry. Some people have a negative opinion of it and I was afraid of being judged. I have definitely moved way past that.
Believing in yourself, your product, and overall business is a big deal in any type of business. I am not a network marketer. However, I am a business owner as a web designer and developer.
Learning the business, keeping up to date in it, connecting and engaging, are all as important in my niche as well.
One of the big things I never see in lists like you mentioned… asking others in your niche. Best way to make a friend, and learn at the same time.

It is also best to surround yourself with successful people in order to be influence with their characteristics and not to mention learn techniques and workarounds from these successful people.
Melodie,
These are the foundation of success and anyone seeking to build their networking business to any level of success should follow them.
Great ideas and great post!
Best,
James

Terrific tips Melodie. I especially like your advice to talk to someone who’s done it. Too often companys provide videos featuring the ‘super stars’ and as nice as it is to know there are some, I think most people find that intimidating and maybe even too much of a stretch to imagine. At least in the beginning. I would love to see stories of real people who are still growing their business but who’ve achieved smaller but realistic successes that newcomers can better relate to.

These tips are so useful to me Melodi, I’m happy to connect with you!
2 tips I loved the one is to use our products and share our experience with others, I have built a prosperity model which I use with my clients and have used few times with my own issues, I need to record my own examples and share them, the other tip I just realised I need to do is visualize my success.
Thank you this post is refreshing for all of us who are just starting with social networking and feel overwhelmed with so much information!
Being a business owner is not enough, creating momentum and happily growing out of our comfort zone is the juicy challenge!
Continuous learning, visualization, belief and trust are the important things to become successful in any businesses. Believing in your products, enjoy and love what you are doing will motivate you to keep on going!
Great Advice Melodie. I think it’s important for people to realize that in order to be successful you have to surround yourself with the tools and people who will help get you there. There is so much available to us we just need to reach out and ask.
Great post Melodie, This information is very valuable to everyone as they move forward in this world of technology. Warmest Regards Shirley

Melodie,
this was a wonderful presention with valid information to gain the lifestyle so few of us have accomplished with our supportive team members.
Your right on the spot! I must say that we all need to take a step back and really remember to complete due diligence on the company, the person presenting the information and what kind of support team is available. There must be communication twice a week by any method possible when there is no hidden agendas.
Your one of our great mentors in this industry and have unlimited resources for those who are honored to met you. I look forward in reading your next fantastic article soon.
Great list Melodie! Might I add also make sure and have an accountability partner. Sometimes that can be your upline or just another person in network marketing. Being accountable helps us stay on track!

Really good advice. I am not a network marketer but having been at least one network marketing meeting, I can attest for the sheer power these meetings have in terms of motivation.

I agree with your list, totally. However I believe that believing in oneself is ultimately the key.. .If you don’t believe you can do it and know it is possible for you, it won’t work! Yes, product is extremely important, but I think it comes down to belief in self!! Great post, Melodie!
Holly recently posted..Nobody Is As Busy As I Am!
Hi Melodie, belief is so important, I can’t imagine anyone becoming a successful network marketer without belief in themselves and the industry. I think the most important of the steps you discussed are visualisation and saying affirmations. Listening to affirmations and meditating are other good ways to get in touch with yourself and to build up your self confidence.

Hi Melodie,
This is a great post and you are giving awesome ways to build belief.I likE #3, #7 AND #8 the best because I practice those daily (well maybe not talking to someone who has done it) but I do visit successful people page and FB profile to read quotes from them and add the ones I like to my own affirmations… Thanks for sharing Melodie

Good tips, Melodie, not just for network marketing, but for internet marketing in general. I get stuck on all those newsletters and blogs, though. So much stuff out there, a lot of it good, but it takes time to sort through all of it to find exactly what is needed. Talking to someone who is successful is tremendously helpful. Sometimes that person can steer us to one little thing that saves us many hours — or months — to find out.

I know what you mean Sherry. I have been organizing blogs that I follow on Google Reader. That really helps. I have them in folders according to general subject matter. It helps me easily find things I want to revisit and spend more time learning about.
Hi Melodie!
Good tips. I especially agree on the speaking to someone who has done it. Thus you can see an example of what you’re striving for and that may give you additional belief in yourself. After all, he or she can share soome really goood tips with you.
Dear Melodie,
I love these To-Do checklists you do! I was also happy to see that I’m really doing everything on this success list of yours.
I have been doing some of Kevin Trudeau’s stuff. Your Wish Is Your Command is what I’ve been listening to a lot and he has a very similar list of To-Dos that if consistently done should help the user earn $10K+/month regardless of what business they’re in.
I think that this all works brilliantly when we truly apply ourselves!
Hope you have a great weekend!

I appreciate your nice post that helped me to understand the ways build belief in networking business. I found your information very useful. Thanks for sharing the post.
Excellent 9 tips Melodie. It’s natural when we use a product and found it’s good result then we are confident enough to sell it and our positive attitude attracts buyer.Listening to all marketing videos and audios sometimes take patience but it’s a very good approach to build belief in ourselves and network marketing industry.

Hi Melodie,
Building your belief system is huge. Takes a little reprogramming sometimes, but it is worth it. Personal development is a must as we gather customers and recruit prospects, but one major factor that will build the belief is “doing” the 2 simple things that will always need to be done in network marketing – gather customers and recruit others to gather customers.
The more we do this the more our confidence will rise.
thanks for the share!
