We look at our business and say "my business isn't growing". The question you must ask youself is what action steps am I using EVERYDAY to win in my business?
If it isn't working do I continue? Or do I look at my daily action steps and see what is it I need to change.
Think about this for a moment, an airline pilot when he or she MAPS their flight plan they know where they are going to get to the next location. Did you know that most times during the flight the pilot may veer off course? But because they have a plan of action to get to the next stop they don't quit. They take necessary action to get back on course.
Our business is the same way.
In it's simplest form the BASICS are personal development DAILY, finding a business coach or mentor (THAT HAS DONE WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE), prospecting at least 3 people per day creating a conversation to open up a long term business relationship with them.
DON'T QUIT!!!!
Lastly, leading with the business and YOUR WHY for doing the business (tell your story for being in the industry of mlm.) Over time you will reach your goals and dreams. (GIVE YOURSELF 60 MONTHS TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS CORRECTLY.)
There you have it.... the truth!!!!
It takes time to grow a business, and it's the little things you do each day that make a difference. Usually if a business does not appear to be growing, if you look at those daily actions you'll find you are not doing the things it takes to make it grow.
Cleaning the office does not count as working, only thing that counts is getting new customers or new business builders.
I realized a long time ago that there are no get rich quick schemes. If you want your business to really prosper, don't take unnecessary chances. Just stick to what you know works well, and works well in the long run, and continue to chop at it until you get the income that you desire. That's what I've been doing, and it has worked wonders for me and my business. There are so many scams out there, but if you want to strike it rich, you have to eventually come to the realization that MLM is just like any other business. It takes hard work, dedication, and responsibility. Those are some of the real keys to being successful.
This is an area in our industry that has really been twisted in recent years. People fail to realize that when they start a home based business (network marketing, direct sales, etc), they are starting a BUSINESS and must treat it as such. Businesses require start up captial (you cannot realistically expect to create $10,000 per month with a $10 'investment'), advertising and marketing expenses, time, energy, creativity, passion, etc. You get the idea. The thing that drives me absolutely crazy is when people tell me that they're unwilling to spend more than $50 in their home business.....for ANYTHING.
They've seen so many ads on the Internet claiming you can turn $50 into $500,000 that they believe it. Sorry to burst that bubble folks, but it's absolutely not true. That particular breed of 'tire kicker' is probably the most frustrating. They claim to want to create a better life for themselves, but are completely unwilling to do the heavy lifting to get there.
It's not difficult to make $10,000 a month, but you have to be willing to commit to earn it.
I'm sure you'll find differing opinions on this, but from my perspective, you should stick with your advertising until you are able to determine whether it is successful or not. Now, that may seem like a pretty ambiguous statement, so let me explain a little bit.
There are some very well-established forms of advertising that are known to produce successful results (many examples shared here in Best MLM Resources)....but only if you are using them correctly. Let's use Google Adwords as an example. I have had people tell me that they have done 'everything' they could think of and just weren't getting the results they wanted. They then went on to tell me that no, they never got around to reading Perry Marshall's book, they never got around to testing their headlines and ad copy, they never looked up alternative key words, etc, etc, etc. Basically, 'everything' encompassed placing a few of the canned company ads on the BIG and popular Google searches. Well no wonder they didn't see results.....
Do you see what I mean here? So when I say that you should choose 2 forms of advertising and master them before moving on to something else, I mean just that. Master them. Don't half-heartedly place a few ads and throw your hands in the air with frustration when you don't see results. The other thing that goes into that is carefully choosing those advertising mediums you want to work with. There are so many, you should easily be able to choose a few that fits your likes (writing articles, conversation, ad copy, lead capture pages, etc) and skill sets.
Truth is, most of of us are blinded by the sun moon and stars that are promised for almost zero effort.
It takes : ....consistent, repetetive action - ....using PROVEN methods ....and a Powerful Mind Makeover
to climb out of the poverty mind set and into your true, wealthy self.
The moral of the story is this.....
It's not about how much time you put in...it's what you do with it. In other words...quality not quantity. Be as efficient as possible and HAVE A LIFE. A place for everything and everything in it's place. Family should be first. Afterall....they are your true "why" anyway. Or should be. This means your frame of mind will be better (happier) which will show thru in everything you do.....a layman's Law of Attraction sort of.
So now you have it....the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the real truth.
