Here's a good question: What kind of mindset do we need to have if we are trying to grow an MLM or network marketing business?
Does mindset even matter? Does it make any difference at all?
The Answer: You bet it makes a difference. Mindset is huge, and it plays a key roll in the success or failure of any business, including and MLM or networking business.
Here's the thing: when your company sends your "Get Started" pack when you sign on as a distributor, they nearly always include a spot for you to include your big "reason Why". Your "Why" is your motivation behind what you are doing in your business. It's the reason you pulled the trigger and got involved with a home-based business in the first place.
Your reason "Why" has to be huge. It has to be strong enough to propel you through all the days when you could care less about your business, and when your business could seemingly care less about you.
No matter what you do, if it's worthwhile, won't be easy. In MLM and networking, it's a business, just like any other business. It requires attention, effort, planning, and most importantly, action to make it work.
If you read through this blog, you understand that I'm not a fan of the traditional network marketing techniques like bugging friends, family, neighbors, etc. There are certainly easier and more efficient (not to mention more logical) ways to build a business. But even if you're doing everything 100% right, it still requires hard work, diligence, and creativity to make it pay you money.
Instead of focusing on money, think about helping. Ask yourself: how many people am I going to help today? Tomorrow? This week? This month? How many problems am I going to solve? What one thing can I do today to grow my business? These are the types of questions that lead to planning. After you plan, then do. Following through on that plan. Keep your commitment to yourself and your business.
To sum up, keep your mind focused on exactly what you want to do, and then use your mind to make everything below your neck perform the necessary action to get what you want.
