Seven Essential Tips to Your Success in Network Marketing

by: Barry Elliot

Several people join Network Marketing in search for financial freedom, a better quality of life, and the dream of getting out of the rat race. Each and every year thousands of people join and are out of the business within a year. Why do 75% of the people who join Network Marketing quit within their first year? Let me share with you Seven Essential Tips to Your Success in Network Marketing that will assist you in realizing your dreams:

1.Train yourself, teach others second.

Doctors go to medical school and lawyers go to law school. Why do most people who join a Network marketing company believe they are born with the skill sets that will earn them a six-figure income? Contrary to what some people may have told you, you must invest in yourself by listening to audios, reading self-development books, and attending training conferences. Don't make the mistake of not getting properly trained!!.

2.Treat it as a business, not a hobby!

According to Cambridge Dictionary, the definition of a Business is, the activity of buying and selling goods or services. Definition Hobby, an activity that someone does for pleasure when they are not working. Now, which definition is most suited for Network Marketing? I hope you chose Business. However, most people who join a Network Marketing company treat it as a hobby. They work the business when they feel like it, invest in training when they feel like it, and talk to prospects when they feel like it. And before you know it, they are out of the Business because the feel like it. Treat Network Marketing as a business.

3.Create a highly duplicable system

McDonalds is one of the largest and most successful hamburger franchises in history. Now most of us know that we could probably make a better hamburger than McDonald's. So what is the key to their success? A highly duplicable system. McDonald's has created a system that allows the average person to operate effectively. In Network Marketing, if you are not able to show others how to duplicate what you do, there is a good possibility that you will struggle.

4.Never Give Up

"No man is ever whipped, until he quits in is his own mind." Napoleon Hill. Do you recall the movie, Frankie and Johnny with Michelle Pieffer and Al Pacino. During this movie, Johnny was madly in love with Frankie (Michelle Pieffer). Unfortunately, these feelings were not mutual. To make a long story short, Johnny eventually won Frankie's heart through persistence and Never giving up! In the MLM industry, you have to be like Johnny. You have to keep moving on, even when you don't feel like it. Never give up!!

5.If you don't know where you are going any road will lead you there!

According to success tip # 2, this is a business, and you must treat it as so. As you are aware, any business normally has a business plan. This is no different in Network Marketing. Write down your goals, how many people you want to sponsor, how much income that you want to make, how many products that you want to sell, etc. The key is to establish a plan and stick to it. But be realistic in your goals and understand that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

6.Support your Downline

Lets face it, we are in this business to make money and the more training and support that you give to your downline, the better they will perform for you. Your job is to assist those you sponsor and help them recruit others so that there experience in Network Marketing is good and they make money. Just always remember, you can get anything in life you want, if you help others get what they want.

7.A Burning Desire

According to Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, the starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. I remember a 1998 playoff game with the Chicago Bulls vs. the Utah Jazz. Seconds left in the game and Michael Jordan is ill. He is so ill, that Scottie Pippen must assist him off the court during time outs. During this pivotal game, Michael Jordan ill with the flu, and can barely stand up, literally willed his team to victory with a last second heroic shot. Some may say lucky, and some may say skill, but I call it DESIRE! If you don't have it, get it.it could make the difference between Dollars and Cents!

The Boob Poem

For years and years they told me,
Be careful of your breasts.
Don't ever squeeze or bruise them,
And give them monthly tests.

So I heeded all their warnings,
And protected them by law.
Guarded them very carefully.
And I always wore my bra.

After 30 years of astute care,
My gyno, Dr. Pruitt,
Said I should get a mammogram.
" O.K." I said, "let's do it."

" Stand up here real close" she said,
{She got my boob in line},
"And tell me when it hurts," she said,
"Ah yes! Right there ,that's fine."

She stepped upon a pedal,
I could not believe my eyes!
A plastic plate came slamming down,
My hooter's in a vise!

My skin was stretched and mangled,
From underneath my chin.
My poor boob was being squashed,
To Swedish Pancake thin.

Excruciating pain I felt,
Within it's vise-like grip.
A prisoner in this vicious thing,
My poor defenseless tit!

"Take a deep breath," she said to me,
Who does she think she's kidding?
My chest is mashed in her machine,
And woozy I am getting.

"There that's good," I heard her say,
{The room was slowly swaying.}
"Now, let's have a go at the other one."
Have mercy, I was praying.

It squeezes me fromboth up and down,
It squeezed me from both sides.
I'll bet SHE'S never had this done
To her tender little hide.

Next time that they make me do this,
I will request a blindfold.
I have no wish to see again,
My knockers getting steamrolled.

If I had no problem when I came in,
I surely have one now.
If there had been a cyst in there,
It would have gone "ker-pow!"

This machine was created by a man,
Of this I have no doubt.
I'd like to stick his balls in there,
And see how THEY come out!

Patience, right?

The Bamboo Tree

The Bamboo Tree

Here is a great metaphor from Senator Komadina (Herbalife Distributor/Presidents Team Member) of why it's so important to keep getting trained and so important to keep "watering" your business:

Have you ever seen a Bamboo Tree? I never have, but hope to someday. I've heard that it's an awesome sight to see, soaring over a hundred feet straight up. What's even more awesome about a Bamboo Tree, though, is how one grows.

First, you have to get a Bamboo stock, about 18 inches long. Dig a hole 3 feet deep, and bury the stock completely in the ground. For the next 5 years, that stock must be watered every single day, 365 days a year. If one day is missed the tree will never appear. But, if meticulous care is taken for those 5 years, it is said that on that 1,825th day, the ground will break open and the tree will appear out of the ground.

What happens next is the phenomenon of the Bamboo Tree. The tree will soar to over 90 feet in a matter of 6 weeks! It grows at a rate of three feet every 24 hours. You could practically sit back and watch it grow. Some people say it takes 6 weeks for a Bamboo Tree to grow, while others say it takes 5 years and 6 weeks to grow. I guess it depends on if you were the one watering it for 5 years.

Imagine if you were to plant a Bamboo Tree in your back yard, and went out every day to water it, rain or shine. Suppose one of your neighbors sees you doing this for several days and asks, "Why are you watering the same spot of ground every day?" You reply, "I'm growing a Bamboo Tree. You water it every day for 5 years, then it grows to 90 feet in 6 weeks. You ought to try it." He ponders the idea, then replies, "No, I think I'll wait and see if yours works."

The next year, that same neighbor sees that you’re still watering the spot of ground. He asks, "Why are you still watering that spot and nothing happens?" You tell the man, "It takes time to grow a Bamboo Tree, but once it comes out of the ground, it is the most awesome sight to see. You ought to grow one too!" The neighbor just laughs and replies, "No, I'll just wait to see how yours turns out."

The third year, the neighbor isn't talking to you any more, doesn't want anything to do with you. The whole neighborhood has heard about the crazy person on the block that keeps watering this same spot in their yard, hoping to grow a Bamboo Tree.

The fourth year, they're sizing you up for a straight jacket, and none of the children are allowed to play near your home. But in that fifth year, the ground breaks open, and that stock that you had planted catches it's first rays of sunshine, and away it goes!

Six weeks later the neighbors are admiring this awesome sight that you now have, wishing they had a Bamboo Tree. But they would have to wait 5 years for theirs to grow! Boy, do they wish they had listened to you 5 years ago.

You have planted your stock in your Herbalife business.

It is much like a Bamboo Tree. It takes watering every day.

You don't see anything happen for some time, but you keep watering it. Many people will ask you, "How's your business going? Have you made your fortune yet? I'll wait to see how you do."

Then one day, your organization will open up, catch it's first rays of sunshine, and away it goes! You could practically sit back and watch it grow, faster and faster, higher and higher. While you're sitting on the top of your Bamboo Tree enjoying the view, others will be thinking, "I wish I had listened, and planted my stock."

For a very small number of people that are lucky, this could be within a few months. For the rest of us, we will work diligently for maybe 5 years (hopefully less) growing our Bamboo Tree. We will make mistakes, stupid decisions, use poor judgment, even be discouraged at times and think about quitting, but, if we keep doing it, be diligent in our watering every day, it will work!
