Reading Is A Key To Success
Building a network marketing business is both easy and hard. I know that is a contradictory statement, but let me explain. Now when I say “building a network marketing business”, I’m referring to being a distributor for an existing company, not starting a brand new network marketing company from scratch, because that is extremely hard to do. I wanted to clarify that so there is no confusion.
Anyhow, building your business with a network marketing company is easy because it is something that anyone can learn to do. The skills it takes to be successful are all learnable skills. Some may argue this point, but I genuinely believe that with effort, anyone can be successful in the network marketing industry. As “newbies” we all suck and are clueless as to where to begin, but with consistent work, the skills needed to be successful will grow. The key words in the previous 2 sentences are “effort” and “consistent”. Anyone can give effort, which is really just another word for “try”. And being consistent takes discipine, which can be tough, but there are certain steps you can take in your daily life to insure you stay consistent in your efforts.
Do not sign up as a distributor for a network marketing company under the impression that is going to be “easy money”, because it won’t be. If you’re new to the industry, you will for sure struggle for your first year. This industry is just like anything else, it takes time to learn how to effectively do things. You will have to learn marketing, and how to talk to people. You don’t walk into any profession or job and are instantly an expert, why would network marketing be any different. Expect to struggle at first and expect to put in the time and effort needed to learn and acquire the skills necessary to be successful.
The formula for success is actually pretty simple. It comes down to taking the necessary steps and actions that will make you successful on a consistent daily basis, year after year. Every successful person, in any industry will tell you that it takes time to get to that point. People just don’t wake up one day at 45 years old and are successful. These people have taken the consistent daily actions needed to be successful. If you are spending 5 nights a week at the bar, or playing video games for 5 hours every night, you are not on a course to success. Those are the actions of unsuccessful people. You need to evaluate your everyday daily activities and if what you are doing is not helping you reach your goals in some way, give up that activity and trade it in for something else more productive.
So what are the activities of successful people?
If you are lost and have no idea of what types of things to do to put you on the path to success, I would first recommend reading a self help, or motivational book of some kind for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. This alone can have a great impact on your success and outlook on life. By reading reading just 30 minutes a day, 7 days a week, you will for sure finish 1 book a month. Over the course of a year you will have read 12 motivational books which will for sure have some impact on the way you decide to live your life. A good book to start with is The Slight Edge By Jeff Olson
It really doesn’t matter what industry or business you are in, surround yourself with successful people, and do what they do, and overtime, you’ll see the results they see.
The key is to stay consistent and realize you won’t see results overnight. Things take time to develop. It takes time to learn new things and how to best apply the things you have learned. Many people give up way too soon. There will come a point where you want to give up, but if you stick with, when the majority of others would give up, you will be happy that you did.
