The Products are Important, The System is Important, The Mentoring is the Most Important

With any business, having quality products is a must. Without that, yes, you could maybe make a few sales, but what you will be lacking is a loyal customer base. Quality products and a variety of products are essential to any business- especially a network marketing business. It is so much easier to gain both IBOs and customers when your products are good AND when they are items that the customer or IBO would be buying elsewhere anyway. Selling products that people need is absolutely essential to having a successful business.

Secondly, the system is important. In many network marketing businesses, the system is that someone is asked to sell a certain type of product or a variety of items, then they will become an IBO and focus on selling. However, there are also some companies that focus more on the business-building aspect rather than the selling. This is where my business currently resides. Rather than going up to strangers or family and offering products to them that I will make money off of, I, instead, offer people an opportunity. This opportunity is for them to duplicate what I am doing and work on building an expanding a business where I do not need to sell every month to make a profit. By building a large enough network, I will create an ongoing stream of income where I can retire within 2-5 years and not have to worry about making enough sales, but I will only continue to offer this opportunity to others.

Finally, the MOST important part of any network marketing business is the mentorship. Anyone could have the best products in the world, and their partnering store has a system that works, but without someone to show them how to work their system, how will they succeed? Moreso, it can sometime be really difficult to keep motivated when working a network marketing system, but with mentors and coaches who have been in your place, they can easily keep you motivated in your business! When choosing which network marketing business to work with (or, if you’ve been approached and aren’t sure if you want to take the opportuniy or not), first do some research on what sort of guidance and coaching will be available to you. Will they have books to start you out with? Will they have frequent events that allow you to spend time with and ask questions to your upline? Will they allow you to contact them whenever you should need to? All of these are important things to consider. Personally, if I didn’t have the coaching available to me that I do or if I couldn’t reach my upline easily when I had a question, I may have left the business that I am in long before I even really got started. Thanks to my upline, however, I’ve been able to continue learning and moving forward with my business!

Why Think Positively?

When you think about business, going to school, or really anything that you do in life, one thing that you don’t typically associate with success is eternal positive thinking. But why not? Thinking positively can seriously impact your entire life! Not only does it help you succeed because you’ll be more motivated, but it will help you succeed because in the world, people like happy people.

Up until recently, I used to be the complete opposite. I was grumbling about how bad my day was gonna be long before my feet even hit the ground as OI stepped out of bed. Heck, my first thought when I got to work always mirrored that of my boss’s thoughts: “Is the day over yet?” But by doing this, I was literally setting myself up for failure. Of course my day will be bad if I start out thinking of it that way! By realizing this, I started taking the babiest-like steps in the right direction: I waited until I got out of bed to grumble to myself about the bad day I would have, I forced myself to find something to smile about in the mornings (cute puppy pictures online will do the trick if nothing else), and I would say to my boss at work “Well, I suppose this day will be good” (although the first time that I did this, he all but keeled over from shock).

The point is, though, I did it. I didn’t want to at first, but I did. I always thought positive thinking all of the time was for the resident lunatic hippies, but I’ve since changed my standpoint.

Ever since I made this shift in my mindset, the smaller problems that used to make my life a trainwreck don’t seem all so bad anymore. My workplace isn’t my favorite place to be, but by not thinking negatively about it, it has seemingly become a better place to be. And get this! It’s rubbed off on my coworkers! We all now have enough tolerance for our jobs that we can become normal friends instead of being friends that only have one common interest which is spending our time ranting about work.

To wrap up, I would like to challenge all of you morning grumblers to wait 30 minutes after waking up to complain about life, to smile first thing in the morning, and, if you’re really ambitious, make a goal each morning relating to one thing that you think negatively about currently and how you can turn it into a positive thing. Just taking small steps towards thinking positively can lead to a happier and more successful life.
