Can
You Handle the Truth?
by Suzanne Miley
Be
honest. When you read the title of this article, you thought to
yourself, "of course I can handle the truth". I would
have thought that, too. I've always considered myself an honest,
hard working person that can pretty much handle anything.
I
even thought I could handle the truth when I got involved in network
marketing. But, alas, I was deluding myself. You see, the "truth"
about network marketing is BORING! It's boring because you have
to do some really monotonous, sometimes uncomfortable things to
succeed in MLM.
Successful
network marketers kept telling me the "truth". I really
believed I was listening. One of my mentors, Joe Schroeder, says
you must "master the mundane". I thought "no problem".
Mundane is easy, right?
Wrong!
Sometime in my late thirties, when I wasn't looking, I lost my
patience with menial, repetitive tasks. Somehow, I would always
find more interesting things to do than place ads or respond to
the same questions over and over.
And,
where do you think this was getting me? Nowhere! So, I had to
check my ego at the door and ask for help. I had to stop spending
time dreaming up "better" ways to grow my business and
start doing what all the successful people in my upline were doing.
What?
No creativity, no tweaking the systems, no originality? You got
it!
Let
me be blunt here. The only way I know to succeed in network marketing
is to find a successful upline and do what they do. End of story,
turn out the lights.
But,
what if you're the "creative" type and you have all
these great ideas to do it better? I say save them until you're
successful and then test them out. Don't waste your time and money
early in the game on unproven tactics. These
actions increase the chances of you getting frustrated at your
lack of success and quitting. And, if you quit, you'll NEVER succeed.
So,
let's recap the "boring" truth about MLM
--
You do what your successful upline does
--
You do it consistently for 3 to 5 years
--
You train your downline to do what you have done successfully
--
You become wealthy and have time to enjoy life
Now
THAT'S a truth I can handle!
