Tip #1 Learn to network
The key to network marketing, is, of course, in the networking. The online dictionary defines a network as “an association of individuals having a common interest, formed to provide mutual assistance, helpful information, or the like.” So network marketing should include your association with others, interested in business, committed to helping one another through training, education, and support. There is a great book by Harvey Mackay called, “Dig your well before you’re thirsty; the only networking book you’ll ever need.” Read it. It is eye-opening.
Social networking is the happening thing right now. Everyone is tweeting and blogging and everyone has a Facebook. These are great avenues to meet people and begin learning how to network.

Tip #2 Education
To become an effective network marketer, you need to educate yourself. Never stop learning. There are countless courses out there to help you to better yourself. Top earners of major network marketing companies will tell you that they spend thousands of dollars every year buying books, courses, going to conferences and seminars. That is one of the keys to their success. Education is power, right? It is going to give you more confidence and attract people to you and not just to your business. Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is a great place to start.

Tip # 3 Duplication
Do what others are already doing. Find a system that is already working for other people, and do what they do. This, of course, is going to require you to do some research. There are a lot of opportunities out there. The internet is the happening place for network marketing.

Tip # 4 Be consistent
Once you get started, be consistent. Do a little every day. It does not do you any good to work really hard for 2 weeks and then not do anything for another 2 weeks. You are in it for the long haul, right? One bite at a time. It is easy to be all enthusiastic in the beginning and then be ready to quit when things aren’t happening fast enough. Network marketing does not mean get rich quick! You are going for a lifestyle change, and these things take time and effort.

Tip #5 Be positive
People are drawn to positive people. If things aren’t happening fast enough for you, work a little harder. Keep pushing forward. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. If you want to make network marketing a business, you need to work hard and keep the right attitude. And when you don’t feel like it, go to your mentors, your upline, people in your network who are there “to provide mutual assistance, helpful information, and the like.” You can do it!

I spent the day at Lake Tahoe with my granddaughter, my favorite
little person in the world. It doesn’t get any
better than this. I was able to spend time with her because
I traded in my 9-5 job for a business online that allows me to leverage my time so that I have the freedom to do the things that I
love.

What Did You Do Today?

I was on a conference call last evening, listening to frustrated members of my primary business vent their feelings of failure and disappointment that things were not going the way they had hoped. I was thinking about a little book I read a little while ago, and I would like to recommend it to all those defeated, frustrated people out there that want to quit when the going gets rough. It is called “The Dip” and it was written by a guy named Seth Godin who just writes these little gems about business that really stick with you.

The Dip is that place you come to in your business where things are slow, or not going quite the way you had planned. Godin says it is the long slog between starting and mastery, the difference between the beginning technique and the expert approach, the long stretch between beginner’s luck and real accomplishment.

My mama always told me that anything worth doing was going to be hard work. So why, when the work starts getting hard, do we want to give up? It is the dip, because the dip seems long and it seems to stretch to infinity.

I believe this is where the idea of the 3% leaders comes in. There’s only 3% left in the game because the other 97% hit the dip and decided to quit.  “The Dip is the secret to your success. The people who set out to make it through the Dip- the people who invest the time and the energy and the effort to power through the Dip- those are the ones who become the best in the world.”

If I could have told those people on the call anything tonight, I would have told them not to give up. Press through the dip, for there is hope on the other side, but it takes hard work to get there. I have been where they are, but I have learned that this is what makes or breaks leaders in business. There are those who will lean into it and master their game, and there are those who will go home with their tail between their legs. I, for one, am working for mastery, because I believe anyone who presses through can be successful.

Time, the great motivator,

always reminding us that it is fleeing quickly

from the time we are born, moving us on to grow and learn,

places to go, progress to be made,

stirring us to move ahead.

Time clocks and alarm clocks, always a reminder, driving us, inciting us,

motivating us

to move faster, drive faster,

work harder.

Deadlines and crunch time,

burdens and obligations,

all impelling us to go, and hurry

and get it done.

Infants can’t conceive it,

lovers can’t get enough of it,

youth waste it,

and the old just want a little more of it.

And when our lives wind down, like the sands in the sandglass,

you can’t stop it.

Time. It’s what sparks us, inspires us, provokes us, prompts us.

It excites us, induces us, leads us, persuades us.

It motivates us.

What motivates you?
