THE SECRETS OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL NETWORK MARKETER

THE SECRETS OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL NETWORK MARKETER

As I think back over the years I've been in this industry,
and evaluate the reasons for my set backs and success,
one thing becomes very apparent:

Success came when the emotion left.

Let me explain...

When most people first get involved in this industry,
they usually do it out of excitement or out of bieng "BALIW"

It's an emotional decision.

Unfortunately, this is an industry of business ownership pursued by
people who have never been business owners.

For the most part, the disciplines and skills necessary for success in
network marketing are completely foreign to them.

So here they go...

Spending money, investing time, and pushing outside their comfort-zone
for the very first time out of a very strong and emotional desire to achieve,
coupled with an equally strong fear of failure.

They feel like they've been dropped into a fishbowl and have to sink or swim.

- Each prospect called is a call of a lifetime.
- Each friend prospect holds the key to their futures.
- Each meeting attended contains the secret to success.
- Each follow-up call answered by a prospect is a shot to the gut.
- Every peso spent on invites is a gamble.
- Each call to the upline that's not answered is personal.

The sky starts falling to the ground with "NO".

There is no abundance mentality present.
It's all run on emotion because of that.

And this is why they quit.

This is how I felt in my years in this industry.
It was a complete roller coaster,
which always ended in a frustrated,
exhausted, and saddened rider.

And I see it every day with new networkers.

Honestly, nothing scares me more than the complete jubilation and
level 10 enthusiasms of a new rep who can't wait to share the opportunity
with anything with a pulse.

"Ok ka lang erdy(me)? Yung ganon tao nga ang gusto kong maging downline eh!"

Well, that's quite possible =)
But here's the reason for my fear:

Everything that goes up must come down,
and when it comes to emotions surrounding a business,
it's a recipe for disaster.

Emotion in this industry are typically generated due to a fear-of-loss or poverty mindset.

Building a business from the ground up for the very first time is hard.
You will experience failure (LEARNING) daily.

And if you are emotionally involved with these learning experiences,
it will cause you pain and you will stop doing the things which cause that pain,
(like uncomfortably approaching total strangers at mrt stations).
And bam... You're done unless your "reason why" is big enough
and strong enough to push you onward through the pain.

True professionals feel no differently about success and failure.
They are just part of everyday business and treated as such
because they live in a mind-state of ABUNDANCE.

Today, everyday is just another day at the office. It's fun.
I love what I do, but the emotional highs and lows are gone.

In short, I've grown up and into a professional.

Even if mawalan pa ako ng no.1 producer ko in my team...

So what???

I won't even waste my time wondering why. I won't even take it personal.

And mostly, I will never chase & convince him to get back.

He has his own decision, and I will respect that.

There are an endless number of people out there just like him that I will definitely Find.

That's ABUNDANCE MENTALITY! =)

The decision was made, so the emotional roller coaster came to an end.

Now it was time to just go to work every day,
and treat the good and the bad for what they really are...
just a part of doing business.

- The no-shows invites?
Just another day at the office.

- The new guy who talks big and then never does?
Just another day at the office.

- The new distributor joining 100 sign ups from his old company?
Just another day at the office.

Keep your emotions out of your day-to-day building. There will be highs and lows.

Just Don't Let Them Affect You! =)
