How Can Success In Network Marketing Be Achieved? by Joe Rispoli
Before you can have any success in Network Marketing, you first must define
what you really want. There are different definitions of financial freedom. Ask
thirty people what a lot of money is and you receive 30 different responses.
What you are looking for may not be financial. You measure success by what you
want. Okay, what is it? Do you have a plan in place?
See, you need a plan. A road map. Directions. People plan vacation, but not
their life. So, you need goals. Three per cent of the country has committed
their life plan to paper. They control ninety seven percent of the net worth.
They write them down, not think or dream them because until you do so, that is
what they are, thoughts and dreams. If you want the same things next year, just
keep on doing the same things you did last year. Want it to be different? Well,
you better put a plan in place for a change.
"There are two types of people in this world, those that think they can and
those who think they can not. They are both right".
Henry Ford
Network Marketing allows average people to earn above average incomes. It
allows common people to achieve uncommon results. It is a business of change, a
personal change for freedom and for a better lifestyle.
So often, the hardest thing are the nos, the rejection. If you got only yess,
you would not know how well a yes feels. Reprogram yourself. Divide your
monthly income you plan to earn or are earning in Network Marketing and divide
that by how many people you contact a month. Let us say that will be $30.00.
The next time you get a no, thank the person for letting you earn $30.00. Watch
how people react. Rejection will no longer bother you. By joining Network
Marketing, you are making a commitment to change. Invest on the inside of your
head, instead of the outside. Buy motivational books and tapes. Go to personal
growth seminars. People have a problem spending money on them, yet spend huge
sums of money on makeovers for the outsides of their heads. Learn to earn more
money than you ever did before. Learn to be a better person than you are today.
How do you do it? Hang out with people who have done it. And once you learn it,
teach it to others.
Most of all listen. People do not care how much you know until they know how
much you care. Learn their needs and help them achieve them. The degree of
success you will have with Network Marketing will depend on your attitude, your
willingness to be teachable and your ability to maintain focus along with your
ability to become consistent and persistent.
The Power Of Residual Income
In your everyday traditional work environment you trade time for money. The
employer in order to retain you generally pays you just enough to survive. That
cycle repeats itself weekly, monthly, and yearly. If you do not work, you do
not get paid.
In Network Marketing you work hard in the beginning to build your organization
and after a while the fruits of you labor begin to pay off. Network Marketing
is a whole bunch of people doing a little bit. If you speak to three people a
day and teach everyone else to do the same, you have built quite a large
organization well, and you do the figuring!
Modern Day Trends And Network Marketing Since Network Marketing has no
geographical boundaries, you can literally create a worldwide network of people
right from your home. Since you have no buildings, no big inventory, no tools
or big equipment, all you need to depend on is modern day technologies to help
you grow your business. More companies are sponsoring weekly conference calls
where you invite your prospects to listen in on a live business presentation.
Need to get information out fast? Printed information can be faxed rather
quickly. In fact, some companies even have fax on demand services, where a
complete information packet can and will be faxed in a matter of seconds. With
the advent of home offices a lot of individuals already own a fax machine, use
the one at work, or go to the corner store. Overnight mail? Second day air? No
problem. You may want to get that new company video or audiotape out to your
key people. or use your camcorder to tape that great training program.
Computers? Wow! They open a whole new avenue. Databases, desktop publishing
software, word processors and Email are very efficient ways to get your message
out to the public in minutes.
What is great about Network Marketing is that the above tools are available to
you. You do not have to use them to be successful. Going next door for a cup of
coffee and sharing your products and opportunity still works just fine.
An Overview
Network Marketing is a business of change. Not only for you, but also for the
way products are moved into the marketplace. The people, who see this first,
will be the first to prosper. Like any trend, those who get in early, win. For
example, Bill Gates, cofounder of Microsoft, the software developer. He saw
software, not hardware, as the route to go in the soon to explode personal
computer field. Only starting Microsoft in 1976, today he is the richest man in
the world.
Franchising was a misunderstood concept in the 1960s. The masses did not
understand it. Today, 600 billion dollars in sales move through franchise
outlet, which is almost one third of retail sales.
Well known companies, such as Reebok, The limited, Home Depot, and Federal
Express all started from ground zero. While experts were laughing at them,
those who were clever enough to invest in them saw returns of many tens of
folds.
Network Marketing allows the individual the freedom to manage a business in a
way he or she chooses. There is no purchase price, no franchise fee, no
employees, no leases, and hardly any start up costs. There is no guarantee, but
it sure does have an amazing record!
"I Would Rather Earn 1% From The Efforts Of 100 People Then 100% From The
Efforts Of Myself."
Andrew Carnegie
Patience Is A Virtue
Network Marketing is a business that most people start doing part time, while
continuing their current employment and growing their earnings to a point where
they have an option to go full time. Or they remain part time and use that
extra income for whatever they desire. It is critical you employ these two
methods for your long term success:
Network Marketing is a program of long term growth, like a farmer planting
seeds. He or she had to prepare the soil, water and feed the seedlings,
nurturing them to harvest.
Folks, it takes work! This is not some "get Rich Quick" scheme. Do not let
anybody tell you it is. But all you have to do is employ simple and easy
methods everyday. Consistency and persistence are two other key ingredients to
your success.
So often, we see people giving up in the very beginning because the power of
multiplication is just taking effect, not realizing the explosion is about to
occur. Yet these same people will stay in the same job for years, sometimes
earning little or no raises, and if they receive one it probably would be for
less than 5%.
The end result is that people stay in dead end jobs, just barely making ends
meets because they did not have the stamina to stay in and grow their way to
freedom!
The Snail And Network Marketing
Imagine you are standing in the middle of a forest in the dead of winter
watching a snail start to climb up a fruit tree. A rabbit comes hopping over
and proceeds to ask the snail what he is doing (you are probably wondering
yourself). The snail replies that he is going to get himself some fruit. With
that, the rabbit looks up and sees nothing but baron winter branches covered
with snow. As he looks down at the snail he starts to snicker, calling him
stupid and informing him of the obvious, there is no fruit up there. With that,
the snail replies that when he finishes getting to the top, there will be.
What if....
President Bush called and informed you that you were picked to go to Fort Knox
for five full days, and that you could take all the gold you possibly could.
They had an Act of Congress telling you that whatever amount you got, it was
yours to keep, Free and Clear.
You Would Be Set For Life
But, you had to be at Fort Knox 24 hours from now and pay your expenses to get
there. Plus you had to pay up front all your costs to haul your gold away.
A Few Questions
Would you be there? Could you find the money to do it? Would you sleep much?
Would you watch TV? Would you be focused on the project?
A Challenge:
Join a Network Marketing Company. Let your sponsor be the President of the
United States, let your company with it is fine products be Fort Knox, and let
the people you know and the people they know be your Gold.
Good Luck!
