So Do You Need To Qualify For The Network Marketing Industry

The Five Things You "Do & Don't" Need To Be Successful.....

1. EDUCATION OR BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

Millions of people have been successful in this industry without university degrees.
As a matter of fact, many of the highest income earners in the industry never even finished school. Network Marketing is like no other business, the rules are different, and it is very possible to grow a large and profitable business without credentials or degrees.

2.NETWORK MARKETING EXPERIENCE

You do not need to have industry experience to succeed. Actually it is preferable if you come into this business without any preconceived ideas or bad habits. We do things a little differeent and so long as you are willing to learn and follow a system then industry experience is just not needed.

3.THE APPROVAL OF OTHERS

It is sad to say, but not everyone is ready for success. We all want it, but not all are ready to do what it takes. So many people are prepared to remain victims of their own lack of vision and lack of courage. Don't be surprised if your family and friends don't see the opportunity of Network Marketing at first. It is difficult for most people to open their minds. They have been preprogrammed to accept what life has given them. Unfortunately, the timing for these people is just not right. Don't take their rejection personally. They are not rejecting you, rather the idea of change and just how scary change can be. By succeeding yourself, you can help them see that there is more to life and like you, they too can achieve their dreams. Lead by example and show them the way. Don't let their initial reaction get you down. Not everyone will "get it" at first. But thats's OK. This is your business, and your dreams, don't let others take it away from you.

4.CHEAP ADVICE

Many times when a new member joins this business, they will receive advice from friends, family or other people who have never been in the industry or owned their own business. If you want to grow crops for food, you ask a farmer. If you want to learn to fly a plane, you ask a pilot. If you want to grow a successful network marketing business you ask somone who has done it. This is where your team can help and guide you along the way. Your team is made up of a group of highly successful and driven people whose own business success depends on your success.

5.PERFECTION

Don't make the mistake thinking that you have to know the business inside out, or have a high level of understanding about the industry. You can get started right away. Starting can be as simple as sending an email. Don't make the mistake of "Getting ready to get ready to start". Do this and you will never start. You must take action, because the faster you start, the faster your life starts changing for the better.

SO NOW WHAT DO YOU NEED?

1. MAKE AN EFFORT AND FIND THE TIME

To effectively grow your business and make a real contribution, you will need to put in extra time at least at the beginning until you find your feet. This is your chance to really get started with your business and generate some leverage early on. Remember that this is a business and the time and efort you put in now, will keep paying you back year after year.

Initially , it is not recommended that you quit your job. Instead, continue what you are doing and build your Network Marketing Business in addition to that. However, this is a business and no business can grow and be profitable if the owners do not do the necessary work. You will need to remain focused, be prepared for the ups and downs, and most importantly......be prepared to put the necessary effort in to secure your financial future.

2.A BURNING DESIRE

It's a fact of life that we are all busy. With only 24 hours in a day it almost seems impossible to take on more. To achieve success with your new business, you will need to find a minimum of 5-10 hours per week. you will need to find that time, 1-2 hours per day to work your business. In order to maintain your commitment to yourself, your family and your financial futrue, you will need to discover what it is that is driving you to succeed. What is your BURNING DESIRE? Once you know what this is, it will keep you working, driving you forward. You must never lose signt of your desire. Keep going until you achieve your goal. Everyone's desire is different. It may be earning an extra income, to help your household budget, or to fire your boss and work from home for yourself. Maybe it's all of these and more. Dare to dream big. Whatever your reason, you must work it out , become passionate- have a burning desire and go for it.

3.POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Getting your head right and being able to think in a clear and positive way can be so difficult for so many people. We are trained and conditioned to think a certain way, usually negative. It's a fact that we attract what we believe in. Like the person who is always saying how poor they are, he keeps getting bills or getting laid off work. Guess what, you create it with your thoughts. Being positive is something we all need to work constantly at, we need to re-train ourselves.

There are a lot of people out there just waiting to tell you your business will not work. They will tell you how you are mad, to give it up before you embarrass yourself. Don't let their negativity stop you from reaching your dreams. Rise above it higher and higher till you achieve what you want in life, not what others think you deserve.

Self development and working a little each day on maintaining a positive attitude will reward you in the long run. It will put you in a better mood and make the world seem like a better place. Try it for yourself, just walk around smiling for 1 hour and see what effect it has on you and those around you.

4.BE WILL TO LEARN AND BE COACHED

You will soon discover that many of the rules, methods and systems that work in other business and industries like sales, marketing, and the corporate world do not necessarily work in Network Marketing. As such, the vast majority of people coming into this industry need to learn and be prepared to try different things in order to succeed. We have so many proven leaders and people within our industry who have the knowledge and skills to succeed. All of this experience and learning is there for you, just take advantage of it, use it and watch the remarkable difference it will make.

5.TAKE ACTION

This is the most crucial point and has been proven to be the biggest reason why people fail in Network Marketing. So often people join a business and fail to take immediate action. They sit around "getting ready to get ready" and the next thing you know, they are sitting around making excuses why their business has failed. This is your business and it is up to you to make it work. The team concept you get in the Network Marketing Industry will provide all the information, tools, motivation and learning to make it a success, but at the end of the day, YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION. Are you prepared to do what it takes to secure our financial futrue and provide security for you and your family? THEN YOU QUALIFY!

How to Become an Ideal Leader

When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they’re supposed to be? You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn't unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let's define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective. He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group.

Contrary to what most people believe, leadership is not about power. It is not about harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.

First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?

People follow others when they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, don't follow me, I'm lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where you're headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all.

You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organization's goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.

Being a leader is not about what you make others do. It's about who you are, what you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what you're subordinates must be.

Studies have shown that one other bases of good leadership is the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization.

Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.

The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.

Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake.

Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people.

Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution.

It is this judgment that your subordinates will come to rely upon. Therefore, good decision-making is vital to the success of your organization.

Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone.

You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.

Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you.

So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be leader today.
