The network marketing business-and the entire home business industry,
for that matter-offers the best potential for the most people to
achieve financial freedom in business, with relatively minimal risk
and investment required.
But this potential comes at a price.
Because you see...
Each and every successful network marketing business builder built his
or her business through sweat equity. That is, he or she worked for
it.
In my experience, the most successful marketers in this industry
followed a clear path to success. Here are the 7 steps, or productive
habits, of their success...
Productive Habit 1
The first productive habit you must acquire and practice is the habit
of defining your goals in terms of what must be done to achieve your
goal.
It's not enough to merely state that you will reach a thousand dollars
in monthly commissions by the New Year. Instead, you need to express
your goals in terms of daily activities... such as making at least 2
new contacts per day, or sharing product samples with 3 new customer
prospects per day.
Traditional goals are like pipedreams, and rarely generate results;
whereas, activity oriented goals are rooted in facts, and get results.
Productive Habit 2
A challenging goal almost invariably involves learning or applying a
new skill...
Which is why the next most important thing you can do to adopt
productive habits and achieve success in your network marketing
business, is to become a student of the business.
That is, make a daily, deliberate effort to learn about business
marketing, prospecting, training new team members, and leadership.
In another example, you may have chosen to use webinars to meet your
daily activity goals of prospecting and making new contacts. If this
were the case, you would obviously need to acquire the skills
necessary to organize, produce, and present webinars.
Productive and successful network marketers do not run from these
challenges-instead, they embrace challenges and take deliberate steps
to meet them head-on.
Productive Habit 3
All the planning in the world, and all the education and training in
the world, is useless-unless and until somebody takes action.
It is not enough to simply dream of success, or write activity goals.
Sadly, the world does not reward us for our thoughts.
Once you have defined your goals in terms of specific activities, and
you have acquired the skills and motivation required to accomplish
your daily activity goals-do it.
As the Nike guys so often say... Just do it.
Productive Habit 4
But don't just do it, and continue to beat your head against the wall
because your sponsor, or a helpful friend, said action was essential
to success.
There is a smarter way to meet your goals...
Yes, take massive action. But then take a step back and measure your
results. Is your activity generating results? If not, why?
Productive Habit 5
Measure your results constantly, and adjust fire to get better
results.
Remember, we are all human. We have brains, and the ability to adapt.
We're not like ants, who will die trying to climb over a mound of
sand, rather than simply walk around it.
In terms of your network marketing business, if prospecting your warm
market and hosting home parties is not working for you, you may need
to ask yourself...
Will working harder to get your warm market to attend your meetings
get the results you want, or is it time to learn new skills and adopt
a new strategy for prospecting?
Productive Habit 6
Once you have measured your results, and taken corrective action to
adjust or refine your applied strategies, you need to reapply
yourself.
Truthfully, it never ends.
You must always apply yourself and take daily action to achieve your
personal development goals, and your network marketing business goals.
Think of it like this...
Could you imagine a professional quarterback only showing up on game
day? Or, a concert pianist only sitting down at the piano when she has
an audience?
No. Professionals practice, and take daily action to improve their
skills-and in most cases they have devoted thousands of hours to
practicing and refining their skills.
Why should the network marketing business be any different?
If we expect to be paid like professionals, we must act like
professionals.
Productive Habit 7
Finally, the one productive habit that trumps everything-is the habit
of perseverance.
That means never quitting. And while the urge to quit may gnaw at you
daily, you have to fight this urge and reapply yourself daily.
Nothing less than constant perseverance-and the refusal to quit-
garners success in the network marketing business.
Bottom Line...
If you want to get things done, build your network marketing business,
and achieve your goals, take massive action, today.
Start with a clear definition of what you want to achieve, and then
raise the bar by acquiring the new skills necessary to complete the
daily activities required to achieve success.
In network marketing, the biggest payoff, and most productive habit
you can adopt is the habit of using attraction marketing to generate
leads and recruit new team members.
