Secret's To Success In MLM, Network Marketing

Napoleon Hill invested 25 years of research in collaboration with the more than 500 distinguished people of great wealth. His powerful success philosophy as strong and insightful today as when it was first published in 1937 – Evolved from interviews with Henry Ford, George Eastman, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilbur Wright, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller and Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, to name a few.

The principles that Hill uncovered were all necessary to achieve great success. And like that of a recipe, all the ingredients need to be present to achieve the desired result with your Network Marketing Business.

Have you ever asked yourself what it is about some people that makes them so successful? What do they know that I don’t know? What is their recipe for success that has enabled them to rise above the crowd?

We all have natural talents, abilities, and other mental resources. We all know you must go the extra mile to get what we want. Some argue that top athletes or entrepreneurs have exceptional gifts. Perhaps some do, but most winners are people with ordinary talents who know how to apply them in extraordinary ways.

The successes of this world have simply incorporated the following key principals: Belief, Commitment, Contribution, Duplication, Goals, Knowledge, Leadership, Partnership, Personal Growth, Taking Action. If you ask a million dollar earner for just one key to true success, they normally will pick one of these principles.

The key to our success is our total belief and passion for the business we have chosen. If you have that, people can’t help but see that you really know what you’re talking about. Just seeing your confidence and excitement will interest them. The strength of your conviction will draw people to you. Remember, you will achieve only what you believe – no less, no more.

Commitment is our pledge to do whatever it takes to get the job done – no matter what! Commitment is the opposite of convenience. This business is 80 percent “why” and 20 percent “how”. If you can find out a strong enough “why” with a person they become self motivated. They can do the business for themselves and they’ll have a reason to find out “how”.

Contribution is the reason some people get into Network Marketing. And it is why many, many more stick around. The key to success is not what you want. It’s helping people get what they want. You have a responsibility to people to respect and nurture their dreams and goals in this business… Putting the other person first before yourself.

In Network Marketing, it is impossible to succeed all by yourself… Duplication is required for your success. Duplication is making an identical copy of an original. Reproduce and repeat over and over again down the line. In our business, mastery comes from duplication – sticking with a system and applying the fundamentals until you see the results you want.

Goals provide direction for your efforts and a measuring stick for our progress. With clear and compelling goals, you have something to strive for and a focus for your actions. You can never learn too much! You’ve probably heard it said ‘knowledge is power’, but is it really? How powerful is having knowledge of something and doing nothing with it. It’s very important to keep learning about our business, because this is a profession that continues to evolve.

It’s obvious that a leader is one who leads – but how? Leadership is front-wheel drive. To lead means to show the way by going ahead of someone else - - pulling instead of pushing. Leaders guide, direct and support their teams. Leaders understand their attention is not on themselves. It’s on the people in their organizations. A leader has integrity and a leader is congruent. Focus on developing leaders, because you never know who could become your next leader.

We say, “you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself”, because it’s impossible to succeed all alone in our business - - which is perhaps the most relationship dependent business on the planet. And at its highest level, relationship evolves into Partnership like the union you find in a fine marriage. Birds of a feather flock together because they are going in the same direction. That is the essence of partnership between the upline and the downline, the company and the field, there must be pro-active, equal partnerships for your business to succeed. Your partners are your allies. Colleagues are champions. They are associates and, at best, your friends.

The majority of top distributors agree that one thing is responsible for their achievements, Personal Growth and Development. In this person-to-person business, nothing is more fundamental than personal growth. Your business will only grow as much as you do. So your commitment to continuously engage in self-improvement for yourself and your people – is the cornerstone of all your future success. In order to grow yourself, you first have to know yourself. That’s where you start. Where does it end? It doesn’t. Personal growth is a life long learning process – one you practice every single day. Your success in Network Marketing will be a correlate function of the degree to which you’re willing to spend time on personal development.

Consistent, persistent activity is the key… Activity leads to productivity. We call it “little victories everyday”. Plan your work but more importantly, work your plan. Your DMO – Daily Method of Operation should include sharing the products and opportunity everyday… Taking Action is required to get anything accomplished. Your business opportunity is what you make it. Taking specific actions everyday and sticking to it no matter what is paramount to your success.

Everything begins with a powerful Vision. Vision is a mental picture of all the achievements you aspire to. If you get good at articulating your vision, out of that flows your enthusiasm and excitement. Understand that your success depends on your ability to clearly express yourself – by helping people learn to share the “Big Picture”, the future or vision for Max.

Good luck as you continue a record April!
