You must have the eye of the tiger

Remember, when it comes to network marketing, you don't want to take it lightly.

As a new business partner in this industry, you don't want to let the game of chance play with your future!

You want to make solid progress and you want to make sure you accomplish your goals on a daily basis.

To do this, it's going to take something more than the average person has.

It takes a strong desire to accomplish your goals no matter what. If that means making do with what you got, then so be it.

Don't get caught in the trap of telling yourself you're going to wait until the conditions are just right. In fact, the conditions may never be as good again as they are right now.

Become a professional at what you do.

Study and train, quickly, passionately. Read books by the best marketers, copy and emulate the exact words that they say and the things that they do.

Listen to and copy, word for word, the exact wording and phrasing being used by leaders in our industry and become a professional actor, a professional duplicator, a professional provider of information and an active mover, shaker and closer.

This means that you must talk to a vast number of people quickly. You must start each day with a super powerful motivation and eagerness to live the life of your dreams.

Don't expect network marketing to be easy. Don't expect it to just start happening and for things to change without you making changes.

This means getting down to the nitty-gritty. Getting down to business. All B.S. aside. It's time to get on the phone. If for no more than at least the very minimum of 1 hour at a time to start.

This will warm you up and allow you to get the marbles out of your mouth. It will allow you a baby step. It is better to practice crawling before we try to walk, because otherwise we take a hard fall and get discouraged.

Also, we may not have a bunch of leads to start with. We not have a fresh list of interested people to call. After all, if this was easy, do you think it would be such a great opportunity? No, however it is simple. You can learn it...anyone can, however, it's kind of like starting a fire with 2 sticks. Unless you are taught a proven technique by someone who already knows what they are doing, it may be a long time if you ever figure out how to make fire by yourself.

And just like starting a fire with sticks, starting a network marketing business takes some serious determination and a focus on technique, however if you read and studied a proven method and you learned and duplicated every little nuance and then applied it consistently, wouldn't that drastically increase the odds that you would start a large, raging fire or, for that matter, a furious and raging business....if that makes sense?!

So, read the masters of sales and enjoy the things you learn and the mastery you will gain by plugging in and learning from the masters of our industry such as Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Tom Hopkins, Mark Yarnell and many others.

Remember, you are the underdog and in order to win, you better be prepared, you better have your plan laid out. 99% of successful people have WRITTEN GOALS.

So then, doesn't it make sense to write down our goals? Doesn't it make sense to keep track of some basic statistics?
