MLM Leads Generation And Life With Brent

I just got back from a great weekend in Nashville.  I attended the Zurvita Freedom Crusade.  The atmosphere, the announcements, everything….just made for an exciting weekend.

Coming out of this event Iam focused on reaching a goal and will do everything I can to reach it.

But looking at some things today, and some conversations I’ve had over the last couple of days, it got me to thinking:  Brent, what is it going to take to build a successful network marketing business?

I know a lot of people have the same question.  In fact, network marketing is promoted as the average person’s way of building an extrodinary business and financial stability for their family…all things that are correct.

I’ve observed the top leaders I have associated with over the last several years.  I have seen their characteristics and their ability to create an incredible network marketing success story, not only for themselves, but for others.

This is what I concluded it needed to build a successful network marketing business:

1.  Integrity

Above all, this is key.  The old saying is that the only thing you carry with you to the grave is your integrity.  I believe that if you operate your business with the highest level of integrity, eventually the right people will be attracted to you.

Likewise, if you operate your business without integrity, these type of people will follow you.  Business has a hard time growing and prospering when the orgnaization lacks integrity.

2.  Focus

I’m the first to admit that this is my weak point.  I have lacked focus.

Now, there are two types of focus:  The inability to stick it out with one company, and the inability to keep working consistently enough to see results.  The latter was my problem, but the former is dangerous as well.

So I now focus.  I have a goal and I’m not stopping work until I reach it.  If you focus and commit to be focused, I believe you can achieve great things.

3.  A Dream

Without a dream the people perish.  Such a powerful statement, but so true.  I do not believe in living to the status quo.  I do not believe that I have to be confined to life as is, but rather that through network marketing I can live an incredible life.

And I believe that nearly everyone can too, if they will stay focused on their dream and simply work.

Dreams are powerful.  They drive you, they make you determined, they give you hope.

Take it down now…..I’m going places in this industry.  I plan on building a team of people whose lives I touch, an army of people that I can help reach their dreams.  Knowing these three simply network marketing concepts I will go far, and you can go far too.

Network marketing has plenty of distractions that make people quit due to lack of success.  I’m not going to talk about common roadblocks such as rejection, fear, company blunders, or issues like this.  Instead, I’m going to focus on a few things I have learned and observed from watching both the successful and the not-so-successful.

First Major Roadblock – Focus

You know where most people fail in a home business or network marketing?

They simply do not focus!

I participate on a lot of forums.  I find forums entertaining, informative, as well as a good place to attract people.  There are certain people that I’ve observed for years.  I can guarantee that they will be in no less than 2-3 opportunities each year.

Now, I know better than to believe that they have built decent residual incomes in any of those businesses.  Its hard to establish momentum in 2 months, 3 months, and for most people, 6 to 12 months.

These people have been referred to as jumpers, hoppers, junkies, and various other phrases based on their actions.  But the bottom line is they are simply not focused and do not stay focused long enough to build success.  They might have a quick hit or two, but they cannot establish themselves as long-term leaders in any company because they do not stay with any company long-term.

Some of the most successful people I know in network marketing have stuck with the same company for 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, or 10 years.  These are people who had consistent six and seven figure incomes built from their focus on that one company.

So my advice?  Make your next company (or current company, if you do not plan on making a move) your focus for no less than 1 year, but preferably 2-3 years.

Lack Of Growth

There are two types of “lack of growth” that kill a network marketing business.

Lack of growth in the business itself is not what I’m referring to here (although it definitely kills a business).

No, what I’m referring is the lack of growth of the individual.  When we fail to make ourselves better, we fail at providing the type of leadership it takes to build a successful home business.  And if we fail to strive for more out of our own lives, we might as well hang it up.

The bottom line is, this is a leadership and development business.  We must learn to lead (by first following) and then we must learn to develop ourselves and then others into leaders.

I personally know people, both inside and outside of the industry, that simply do not care to better themselves.  They are good with just being who they are, treading water, and never wanting to make anything of themselves.  They approach improvement with apathy and simply have nothing strive for (or rather, nothing they want to strive for).

So if we learn to first have something we want to achieve, work towards it while bettering ourselves, our success in the industry grows.

If you are sitting there wondering why you do not seem to be making it anywhere in network marketing, take a look in the mirror and see if this applies to you.  Are focusing?  Are you developing?  If not, you are probably not succeeding.
