The road to get to success is a lot more exciting than getting success

The road to get to success is a lot more exciting than getting success. Arriving is silly. The journey is GREAT!

Is Network Marketing for Everybody?

By all standards, NO. It is not for everybody! Even heaven is awesome but not for everybody. Not everyone qualifies to be a network marketer. Just like not everyone qualifies to run a business. Here below, I list some of the credentials for one who can do NWM.


Qualifications:

The qualifications in this business are the same as the qualifications for becoming a successful man or woman in life. That is why when you attend any of the presentations, you will always meet motivational speakers who train people on how to succeed in life and inspire the audience to go for it. Here you learn what is never taught in school. No wonder schooling is not a pre-requisite to success! Success here is used to mean living the life of abundance and attaining what is called financial freedom. Is there freedom that just come? So what does it take?


1:Attitude:

Network marketing, first and foremost, requires a very positive attitude in life. It does not require logics or certificates in anything. In the path to success, we say that "ATTITUDE AND NOT APTITUDE WILL DETERMINE YOUR ALTITUDE IN LIFE". This is true. It is a valid statement! Pride will deter even people who really need it from joining the business. PRIDE, that is said in the bible to come before fall, is the main obstacle in any journey to success because people want to sing the chorus which everyone is farmiliar with. Not the verses. People want to be doing what friends recommend or think is good. The friends themselves unsuccessful in life and struggling to make ends meet. Struggle to pay bills, live on hand and mounth and think small! This is the greatest jeopardy.


For one to succeed, some of the critical decisions you will need to go through include sacrificing anything that stops on your way to success! It does not matter for how long you have had it. This includes your own friends! They could be the reason you are where you are right now, anyway. Have new friends who think the same way. Friends who are not liabilities but assets. DO NOT FEAR REJECTION! You will NOT be popular at the beginning but once you start to succeed, everyone will want to hang out with you. They will come back. If it were to help you at all, you would already be successful. It is you to resolve to do it no matter the criticism or discouragement or challenges you will meet on the way. So if you are willing to succeed in life, one thing to check is your perspective in life. Are you a pessimist or an optimist? If optimist, Yes you will. Else, change! Again check the level of your pride. Better be proud of success than just seeing yourself on top of everything that never exists.


2: Dare to Dream Big.

Success if for dreamers. If you are able to dream BIG enough and imagine yourself living that your dream already, then you the right person to do NWM. People usually try to dream and then stop for fear or doubt. They usually say ' ..but that is not possible. I don't want to live in fantasy.' Now that is the mind of a failure in life. I always say that the first thing to do in order to realize your dream; the very first thing, is to wake up! You will have moved at least one step forward. The journey is now shorter. If you can Dream It, if you can Imagine It and you really Need It, YOU CAN GET IT! That is the good news if you did not know. That is a fundamental truth in life. Your NWM company, Team, Mentors and Sponsors should always guide you towards realizing all that you DREAM. By all means, I insist, Do NOT seek advice on how to succeed from a failure or simply from one who has not succeeded! If you want to swim, hang around with swimmers. If you want to buy a car, talk to people who own cars, not cyclists! It is that sereous. The basic problem with majority is to seek guidance from their close relatives, friends or fiancies who are themselves in the same class or even worse off and so negative in life! What Robert T. Kiosaki calls ' The blind guiding the blind.'


3:Have a BURNING DESIRE:

It is this which will fuel you to work toward your GOALS in life, that is DREAMS now put down in paper. It is this same desire that makes everyone succeed anywhere; in school, in sports, in politics and life in general. The burning Desire inside you to reach your goals; to have that car of your dream, to live in that nice home, to pass your tests, to win the marathon, to get that job is what will make you wake up early and work till late, to sacrifice your favorite TV programs or watching soccer in the name of working the dream and everything you will do. It is what will keep you going despite the challenges. You will be thirsty for success! You will be hungry for it! And once you are, NO one will STOP you. No one will stop on your way! You will have GUTS to defy odds and move on. You will NOT FEAR anything or anybody except GOD the Almighty in whom you will so much believe and from whom you will get so much support and strength. The BURNING DESIRE is a well known secret to success.


4:Faith:

You must have faith that whatever you are looking for, you can get! That if you want it, you can get it. You must live in faith in yourself that you are a winner, not a loser. You must believe that you have all it takes to succeed. Believe you can do it. You must believe in you God, who made you. If He did make you, then can it be IMPOSSIBE for him to make you succeed? In the bible, Jesus said, 'seek and you will find, ask and you will be given, knock and the door shall be opened for you.' Don't you think He could simply say ' seek and you will likely find, ask and somehow someone will possibly give you, knock and perhaps the door will be opened for you'?


5:Action:

Success has to do with two things here; Decision and Action. No Procrastination. Act Now. Not tomorrow or next year. Learn to appreciate the value of time.


Now in all the above, you can simply say anyone can do it. Which is true. But the reality in the ground is that not everyone is ready to qualify! Not everyone is ready to change his/her life and start learning from new friends or people they did not know. Not everyone is ready to sacrifice his favorite routines and junk friends who take them nowhere. At least reducing the airtime with them. Not everyone believes in himself or herself and besides over 90% are indocrinated to believe in Job only for income!


Chief M. Nangoli, in his book 'Why Have You Chosen to Be Poor when There is So Much Money In the World' says, 'You think small, plan small and achieve small.' Again it is said ' The size of your success will be determined by the Size of your DREAM, the strength of your DESIRE and how you handle the challenges you will meet on the way.'
