BEWARE OF THE 4 MISSILES

Following are a few of the realities of this amazing business we call Network Marketing. The intention here is to “armor” you in awareness and knowledge, so that you will find the success that you are looking for!

#1. Apathy ~ Beware those that roar in like a lion, for often they creep away like a lamb.

One key ingredient here is the human factor. Meaning, that we can’t control whether someone succeeds or not. Our job is to offer professional support and guidance, to be available for our new Associate.  Whether they take action or not, is beyond our ability.  Knowing the 80/20 rule may help as well, which states that 20% of the people will do 80% of the work.

#2. Attrition ~ A wonderful aspect of our business, is that, we can fail 90% of the time and become financially free!

We’re dealing with human nature and lack of the ability to dream or stick to building and creating something of value. People will come into our teams as customers and business partners, even get amazing results and “wallah” they’re gone. The magical part of our business plan is that it just takes a couple of passionate leaders to create momentum in our organization!

#3. Deception ~ Like it or not, people will deceive themselves and us in the process.

Often, people around us will come up with many reasons, besides the real one, why they don’t follow through on a commitment. Or, in many cases, their habits of not being accountable are so ingrained, it’s quite challenging to break through.  One key way to deal with this is, talk to enough people to sort and find the ones that have the core values and professionalism that we are looking for.

#4. Rejection ~ Remember, “We’re  looking for those who are looking for us”.

One of the opportunities for growth that we all have is learning that we are all talent scouts and only looking for positive, pro-active people. And that when people say no they are just saying, “at this moment in time, I don’t see the value in acting on our products and services”. It’s not about us at all, it’s just the individual and where they currently are mentally.  One fun way of looking at it, is that we are paid for every no, we get. It simply means that we are one step closer to the person who is looking and possibly praying for the Gift that we are sharing!
