here are many characteristics that can be stated that you need to be successful in network marketing. These are the 4 characteristic I have learned to focus on and can be used to be successful in any home based business. The good news is even if you don’t currently have them you can develop and learn them as it’s all a learning process.
1. Never Give Up! When you give up you lose! Your desire for success must be so great that no matter what obstacles come between you and your desired outcomes you never stop! So many people who are successful almost quit just before they had the major breakthrough which pushed them over the top. Don’t stop 3 feet from gold like the Darby’s. (If you don’t know that story read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill) Keep pushing through obstacles and keep learning!
2. Invest in Yourself! Invest in your education. If you want to earn you must learn! Successful people continue to grow and learn. There is always someone out there who knows more than you do and can mentor you. Even the most successful people in the world have mentors and coaches. A mentor will help you achieve the next level in your business. Successful people invest in themselves and the people who struggle worry about the price or the cost of the education. It is understandable of course that in the beginning that you may not have the budget to invest in the larger resources of knowledge (I know this all too well!) but as you move forward and you begin to be profitable in your business, ALWAYS reinvest a good part of your profits back into you and your business. When you stop learning you stop growing!
3. Follow and Model the Leaders. If you want to be successful do what the leaders are doing, model them. Events can be an awesome place to rub elbows with some of the most successful network marketers out there. But for some of us, the financial ability to attend these events may not be readily disposable so what then? I have made it a daily practice to visit blogs, fan pages, YouTube, etc. to learn from not only the well-known names in the industry but also from others that are up and coming leaders that clearly show that they are watching, learning, and implementing what they see from others.
4. Take Action! Successful people learn something and then take action on it immediately. The best way to have a positive impact on your bank account is to learn something then carry out it! Speed of implementation is key. If there is an obstacle, look for ways to get it done. If you procrastinate and say things like “I will do it when…” and in most cases when that time comes they will come up with another “I’ll do it when…” Instead of looking for ways to get it done.
To your success!
