Network Marketers, this one is for you. I typically don't talk a whole lot about network marketing, at least not for a full podcast, I do talk about network marketing because it is another business. I don't care what anybody thinks about it. It's business, it's an income, and I wanted to talk today about some of the things that hold people back, maybe it holds people back from joining a network marketing company, maybe it holds people back in growing that business. But regardless, we're going to talk about why people, in network marketing, don't make it. And also some of those reasons of why people don't join. If you join network marketing and you think that it is a get-rich quick type of thing, you are going to find out really quick that that's not how it is, it is not that way. And there are people who are afraid to join a network marketing company because maybe they're afraid of what others might think, and I'm here to tell you that, first of all, don't let something like that hold you back from doing it because if I had done that, if I had walked away, I would not be in the position that I am in today. Network marketing, direct sales, whatever you want to call it, is something that completely changed my world. Learn more. Listen in...
• You are going to people with a solution, and I am really big about being a product of the product, I'm not going to go out and sell something to somebody and not know about it, I'm no going to sell something to somebody just to put some money in my pocket, and I'm not going to be a product of the product. I am going to share my story with someone, I'm going to share what this did for me. And in hopes of being able to solve an issue for that person, I'm hoping that this can do for them what it did for me, and that goes for the product and for the opportunity. (4:45)
• So these are the things I want you to ask yourself, did they look down on that person who they bought that Tupper Wear, Or that Pampered Chef item from... So what makes you think that they're going to look down on you? You're just trying to make something better. You are doing what it takes in order to better your financial position, you should be applauded. And someone who is not applauding you should be ignored, you should not put any merit to what they are saying. (9:12)
• No, not even talking about the financial aspect of it. I'm talking that I am friends with some of the best people on the planet, and I am blessed with their friendships. People all over the planet. I've got friends in England, I've got friends, one of my good friends is in Australia. I mean, people are all over the place, but most of all, it can give you freedom, it can give you so many different types of freedom, it can give you the time freedom... That is the biggest thing for me. Time freedom, where I am able to spend time with my kids. (16:19)
• My concentration was on my kids in my business, books, you're going to be wanting to read or listen to books... Whatever works for you. Whether you like the audible books, oh my gosh, there's so many of them. There are so many of them, you're going to want to be reaching out to people, you're going to be wanting to grow your network of contacts, you're going to be wanting to meet new people all the time. You've gotta be growing your network at all times, you're gonna probably be putting in more hours than what you expect. Because there are a lot of people who get into network marketing and they think that it's just going to happen, they think that they can be home with the babies and not have to do anything. You've got to put in the work. (18:56)
• There are going to be some obstacles you're ging to have to overcome, you're going to have to figure out the urgency with this, what is your why? How fast do you want to get your goals? What are your goals? Keep them in mind, keep them in the forefront of your mind all the time. And most of all, you're going to have to be coachable and you're going to have to learn a lot... I know, I did. I remember when I first started this, I thought I knew because I had been in other companies before, when I started with this one, I thought I knew everything, Oh my... was I wrong. So that really makes me laugh thinking about that, I'm like, Wow, yeah, I have come a long way in my knowledge, so it's going to take a lot, it's going to take dedication, but you absolutely deserve it.
