Winning Mindset Concepts for Network Marketers

Success in network marketing (and in all aspects of your life) can be predicted based on your subconscious beliefs or what I call mindset. In order for others to believe they can win with you it is critical that you possess the firm belief that you are a winner and that you will win and that you can help others win, especially within your warm market. I acknowledge that we all may be starting from a different place when evaluating our mindset; know this, what you do not have today you can develop and become more. Life has a way of rewarding you based on what you become, not based upon what you start with.

Regardless of your present state rich or broke, happy or sad, fit or unfit, is entirely up to you and your present mindset. Once you really harness the power of this concept you will become empowered to create change. Come to a place of understanding that you are “worth it” and vote yourself in. Learn to like yourself and learn how to become a more authentic you. Many are operating somewhat apart from our full potential based on learned beliefs and behaviors that are often limiting as a result of past failures or beliefs instilled in us from childhood. Once you lean (or relearn) that having a positive self image or ego is a good thing, you will become empowered to positively impact others.

Basic Mindset Concepts:

1. Everyone is self-made, not just successful people. The only equality that you and I share with other people is opportunity, not Power.
2. Never leave your life to chance. Bury the words, "I will just have to see what happens" from your consciousness
3. Become a “Yes-Yes” person. Is your reflex response to opportunity to say yes or to say no?
4. Do you believe you deserve to be successful?
5. Shift from a scarcity mindset to a prosperity mindset.

Recognize this simple law:

“To the extent that man resists HIMSELF and his Alpha Nature is to the extent and proportion that he is ruled by OTHER people. Period.”

What you argue for you always get to keep.

Are You Cause or Effect?

Based on what you have learned, what actions are you willing to take to create the life you want and deserve?

Do you believe you are a co-creator of your life?

Four Hours, Three Titans and Tremendous Training

On Monday evening I attended the Abundance 2008 Tour for Agel Enterprises, which featured their filed leaders Eric Worre, Randy Gage and Randy Schroeder. These three titans of the network marketing industry represent more than sixty years of collective experience in the industry and in excess of forty million dollars in earnings. During this four hour training program for leaders in Agel, the presenters opened their minds and there hearts, educated and inspired everyone in attendance.

Following are a few golden nuggets I gleaned from the conference:

I. Being a Network Marketing Professional

1. Keep your full time job: Being a professional in the MLM industry does not mean that you have quit your primary job and are now "full time" in the network marketing industry. Being a professional in the industry simply means that you conduct yourself in a manner consistent with certain characteristics.
By remaining employed you continue to be in circulation, exposed to new people on a continual basis.

Becoming full time in MLM prematurely can result in negative financial pressure and a loss of posture.

You want to demonstrate leverage in your income, which can best be done by multiplying your current income, not by merely replacing your full time income.

2. Spend 10-15 hours each week engaged in "rain maker" activities. Growth occurs when you enroll a new member or duplication occurs within your team. Focus your efforts on making presentations to new candidates for your business.

3. Time Block your day in order to remain focused on rainmaker activities as follows:

4. Maintain a candidate list

5. Step back to allow your candidates to see your opportunity and not you

6. Learn to invite in a manner that utilizes third party tools

7. Validate your message through three way calls or another tool

Tip - Journal your time for a few weeks and discover how your time is spend and make adjustments accordingly

II. Five Essential Skill Sets

1. Learn to meet people "network" to build and refresh your candidates list daily

2. Learn to invite prospects to view third party tools or to attend an event effectively

3. Learn to present your opportunity effectively

4. Learn to follow up effectively and be disciplined to follow up with consistency

5. Develop yourself as a leader. From the moment you sponsor your first person be a leader

III. Road Map to Becoming a Pro

1. Acquire knowledge and the skills you need to become more, so that you will earn more this is Learned Knowledge

2. Acquire skills learned by taking action, this is Activity Knowledge

3. Find someone who is successful doing what you seek to do and model what they do, this is Modeling Knowledge

4. You always learn more through the process of teaching, this is Teaching Knowledge

IV. Three Emotional Stages

Understand that there are three emotional stages you can access and use as a foundation from which you can launch your MLM business to higher levels of satisfaction, wealth and significance:

1. Faith - See it before the rest of the world sees it by imagining the outcome so clearly that it becomes real

2. Hope - Crystallizes your imagination

3. Belief - The secret is to do everything possible to exude belief even if you haven't fully gotten there yet. You have a huge responsibility when we meet with a candidate or lead your team

Comfortable People May Be Doomed

Comfortable people may be doomed. These are harsh words yet they are true and I believe I can prove this to you if you if spend a few minutes reading this post.

Comfortable people don't feel badly enough to question their station in life. The rub is that because they are comfortable they are interrupting their bliss and their fortune and therefore are doomed to live a life that is less abundant than it could be.

Comfort breeds complacency and complacency stops the natural evolutionary process of all living things. If you were a successful buggy whip manufacturer who grew complacent and chose not the react to the evolution of the automobile industry in the early part of the 20th century you would surely have allowed innovation to rob you of your bliss and fortune as the horse draw carriage gave way to the motor powered automobile. No less is this universal truth applicable to all human life.

Discomfort is the direct opposite of comfort and will motivate you to take action in your daily life. If you are cold you put on a coat, if you are hungry you eat, if you are tired you sleep; these simple truths are evidence that discomfort breeds action and comfort being the opposite causes a lack of action and as a result there is no positive change.

Comfort is a seductive liar. The comfort we may presently be feeling in our lives may breed within our sub-conscious the feeling that we are set for life. Let us seek out truth as it applies to the three core aspects for every living person.

Soul or Spirit: When we become comfortable (complacent) in our faith we have a tenancy to spend less time studying God's word and committing to daily devotional time. We may not be as diligent with our tithing and we may stray away from our God consciousness. In time depriving the soul of nurture and evolution will create stagnant faith and a feeling of disconnection from our Creator.

The Body Physical: When we neglect our health through lack of exercise and poor nutrition, the aging process is accelerated and the rate and degree to which our body will break down later in life will be effected. Proof of this fact is not hard to find. Seek out a man or women in their 80s who has practiced good nutrition and exercise in their lifetime and do the same with someone who has not. If they are both honest about their physical life you will note several distinctions in the quality of their lives.

The Mind: Do you know anyone who refuses to learn how to use a computer? Those who refuse to embrace innovation are left behind the changes that are inevitable. A person who refuses to embrace change will no less be impacted by the changes around them and those who adapt most effectively to change always thrive and live richer lives.

So what should you do to live beyond comfort? Bury the word "complacency," thereby removing it from your life. Here is a very simple exercise that you can use to symbolize your commitment to do so; write the word "complacency" on a clean white sheet of paper, then cross a line through the word, announce "I here by bury the word complacency and declare that complacency is no longer part of my life." Tear up that piece of paper and dis guard it. Now set out to live an abundant life by putting action behind your dreams.

Set Meaningful New Year Resolutions in 2008

Mindset Fact: Making a New Year's Resolution is not merely setting a time deadline to a "dream," it is making a promise to your higher self. The reason most people fail to achieve their resolutions is because their emotional commitment is not strong enough to sustain the effort required to succeed and achieve their objectives.

Seven Steps to Create Meaningful New Years Resolutions:

1. Start with the end in mind by envisioning your life at age 80. Where you will be, who will you be with, what is your lifestyle, do you have any regrets.

2. Resist fear of facing the facts as fear breeds non-action.

3. Refuse to accept complacency by becoming passionate about the change you want to manifest in your life.

4. Identify your vehicles for achievement. The people, systems, resources needed to achieve your objectives.

5. Commit to your vision of your higher self. Remember your higher self (and your true faith) exist in your subconscious mind.

6. Connect with those that can help you succeed and share your vision with them.

7. Establish and celebrate milestones.

The Key to Achievement is Your Subconscious Mind

I have been drawn to a mission that incorporates my business interest and my desire to sow increase into the lives of others. I created leverage by partnering with many of the most successful individuals and organizations in the fields human mindset, wealth creation and network marketing; the result is the creation of "The Optimum Wealth System," which is the platform for my vision. My mission is to help individuals achieve their objectives set for themselves within network marketing and beyond.

Mindset Fact: While people believe objectively that they can achieve a certain thing; often they subconsciously believe they cannot. If you didn't meet 25% (or more) of your goals for 2007, it is because your subconscious would not allow you to do so. Your subconscious beliefs are your deepest convictions of who you think you are - this is undeniable, the proof is in your life abundance or lack.

Three Reasons Why People Fail:

1. They make a conscious decision not to invest enough time.

2. They allow people or circumstances to steal their focus.

3. Their conscious mind is not in agreement with their sub-conscious mind.

Ten Quick Lessons From A Millionaire

If you read the stories of nearly anyone who has achieved success in life you will note a common theme; life comes down to decisions made in quiet moments and the actions that followed. I recently had an opportunity to spend some time with a GIANT in the network marketing industry. This is a man who has earns $100,000 per week and has built two down lines of one-million dollars. He failed at MLM on more that one occasion before he cracked the code and what he has and will continue teaching me, I am determined to share with you.

I want to share ten lessons that I learned from him and I believe if you really comprehend what is said here you will transform your business and indeed your life.

Lesson # 1.

The wealthy don’t get rich by doing certain things. The people on top get that way because they are doing certain things in a certain way, which is often invisible to the naked eye.

Lesson #2.

Somewhere in your line of work, somewhere, someone is doing what you do ten times easier and making four times what you are. The obvious conclusion then is to locate that person, ascertain what they are doing, lose your ego and quadruple your income. How? By doing exactly what they are.

Lesson #3.

When you’re ego gets ahead of your ambition and you always have to be right, at the expense of your income, you are pretty much a cooked goose. The game is over before it even actually ever begins.

Lesson #4.

It takes eight to ten hours a day to work yourself in a rutt or to work yourself into earning $10,000 per week. Same day, same clock, same elbow grease. It’s just a choice between smart work and being content.

Lesson #5.

It takes the same amount of energy to sell a $1,000 widget as it does a widget by another name that sells for $100. Same energy.

Lesson #6.

People who are embarrassed by money or too cool to ask for the big bucks are employed by those who are not.

Lesson #7.

The working poor stop earning income at 5 PM or whenever they stop working. The wealthy earn all day, everyday and when they are tired at the end of the day they still are earning money because they have other people making sales as well. That simple.

Lesson #8.

You’re allowed to have more than one job and it’s alright to earn $10,000 per week and to those that think what they started doing as work in their early twenties believe this is the only means of income they can make, I feel sorry for them.

Lesson #9.

People who ASK for little get little. People who ASK for much get allot. Your better is located in your best and your plenty is located in all you can do. Are you doing ALL you can?

Lesson #10.

You can get anyone to buy pretty much anything as long as you make it easy for them to get started.

I was spellbound and wanted to learn more. He sent me a small book called "The Mechanics of Wealth" along with permission to share the book with others. If you would like a free copy of the book simply contact me and I will send it to you. Remember that the key success is your mindset.
