Setting your goals too high can be a recipe for frustration and disappointment. But hey, what about all those dream boards filled with pictures of beautiful mansions and exotic holidays?
We often tell newbies in network marketing to set big goals. You know the stuff about it being impossible to ask for too much. I’ve done it. I still do. That’s the big dreams and that’s fine. But how you get there is by working day to day on the small stuff.
So you want to earn 10K a month or even just 5K. But have you ever seen that kind of money? Do you know what it feels like? If you or your new team members are like most people, that’s like funny money – to begin with. [click to continue…]

Most of you reading this will be leaders or aspiring to be leaders. To be really successful in MLM and to build a huge residual income, you will have to become a leader. So how do you achieve this; why should you and what does it mean?
First you must have a mentor with real experience of network marketing; someone who has the battle scars to prove it. Too many so called gurus out there have little or no real experience in the trenches. You must always be accountable to someone and they may not be within your company – but find them.

To make my fortune of course! – I’m looking for financial freedom. – I want to own my life.
Sure – but that’s not enough. You will meet challenges on your journey and you must have a stronger, more specific reason for what you are doing.

Self-improvement is fundamental to success in life. Being financially successful is a part of true wealth and prosperity and that means that we must grow as people. Developing ourselves means becoming free of the chains of the past. We are products of our past but we do not have to remain victims of it – no matter how challenging our childhood experiences might have been
But I just want develop my business I hear you say. Abraham Lincoln said “If you give me an axe to cut down a tree, I will spend 4 hours sharpening the axe and two hours cutting down the tree”. You are the axe. There are some exceptions but almost all really successful men and women (in all fields of endeavour) are well developed people. [click to continue…]

I was looking at the fruit trees that I have in my garden just yesterday. The oranges are nearly finished but the nectarines are almost ready. That is what I noticed – almost and I cannot speed the process up even though I would really like to eat one now!
Network marketing is rather like a garden. It develops according to the natural cycle of planting, cultivating and harvesting. Yet the internet is filled with offers of explosive growth; get a hundred (or more) leads per day; secure your future with this pre-launch offer; etc, etc. It seems like so many people want the quantum leap from A to Z without the work in between.
