The enigma attached to network marketing is quite frustrating. The is especially true when you fully understand that a majority of successful multi- millionaires achieved their wealth with this venue!
Consider this:
Each and every person alive today networks continuously without even thinking about it. We breathe without thinking, blink our eyes without thinking, you get the idea. When it comes to applying this concept to a homebased business using network marketing all of a sudden there is this negative connotation that network marketers are sharks awaiting to make a kill.
When people network with friends and family with such ease it is because they are confident with themselves, fully understand the people they deal with, and have the ability to just be themselves. So why is it when we attach the words “business”, “homebased business”, or anything similar that there is an immediate change in behavior?
Several things come to mind:
* When in business we are suddenly out of our comfort zone.
* Lack of knowledge of the product or service
* Lack of “belief” in the product or service that was chosen
* Fear of Failure!
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to network marketing woes for the majority of those that make the attempt and fail. First of all, failure is going to happen whether you like it or not. But choosing the type of business that fits who you are will dramatically change that outcome. Choosing a business with a product or service that fits your personality and lifestyle will create more desire to apply network marketing with ease.
It will also give you the confidence to talk to friends and family because you have a product or service that will help them. You will come across as caring instead of being needy to make money. It is so much easier to apply network marketing in a business that you fully believe will help others with whatever their needs are.
Treat your network marketing business with the same enthusiasm that you extend to others about the latest movie you saw, that great restaurant that you went to or that deal at the flea market you got! That is just how easy this can be! When faced with the concept of “friend or foe”, network marketing is neither. It is only a matter of whether or not you have the desire to utilize what you already do on a daily basis and apply it to a homebased business.
This is a poem written by my Dad, Ruben Tover. He is a musician, artist, writer, father, husband and lover of nature.
I Liked Michael
I cried,
When Michael died.
You have your opinion,
I have mine.
MJ was electrifying,
One of the greatest entertainers
In my life time.
Listened, played and felt his music.
My daughter taught me to Moonwalk.
My son played keyboard to Billie Jean,
I played Bass, Michael was a dancing machine.
It appears to be a Global sadness,
Not unfounded, to his Badness.
Believe what you want
From Television, papers of News.
They all give me the Blues.
Put an MJ album on turntable,
What you hear and feel, is, what is real!
Originality and Freshness.
Not only an influence on me,
Also my Wife, Son, Daughter and family.
I liked Michael.
My very felt sorrow for his family.

Affluent internet entrepreneurs can earn unlimited amounts of passive income, but not all of them succeed.
What do all of the most successful online business owners have in common?
Well for starters they have vision. They see opportunity everywhere, and they are always looking for ways to do things better and more efficiently. Entrepreneurs do not look at problems as being problems, but rather they see them as opportunities to make a difference…. and a fortune.
The same opportunities are available to everyone, but it is only a small group of people who see them and utilize them. Many people do not think positively enough to spot opportunities. While most people are always coming up with reasons why they cannot succeed, wealthy internet entrepreneurs are always on the lookout for their next big break.
And the high earning internet entrepreneurs think big thoughts and set big goals for themselves. It is a simple fact that small thinking leads to small goals, and small goals lead to small results.
Big thinking however leads to big, bold goals, and when the bar is set high, the achievements will be grand. Those who set out to reach the pinnacle are the ones who are enjoying the highest levels of success both with their businesses as well as financially.
And lastly, successful net entrepreneurs have passion for what they do. They live it, they love it, they get enthusiastic and excited about it, and they derive endless supplies of energy from it.
Passion is the fuel that enables entrepreneurs to take risks, put forth continuous effort, and persist long enough to succeed. The more passion you have for your business, your goals, and your future vision, the more likely you will be to accomplish anything that you want. If you have passion for what you are doing, nothing will ever be able to stop you from reaching the finish line.
For real, if you can answer yes to these, begin to smile or you nod your head in agreement… then you know you are that entrepreneur that you were born to be…
- You’re constantly trying to think up new ways to be successful, or new business ideas to try out. You’re not happy just getting on with things; you aim for the top and won’t stop until you get there! You’re full of motivation and ambition, which is an essential quality for any entrepreneur to have.
- You find out how to do something if you don’t know straight away. You love being challenged and always want to learn new things, whether it’s through workshops, courses, or simply doing research in your own time. If you can learn new things to make you more successful, as well as more confident in business, then even better.
- You’re always trying to offer business “advice” to your friends and relatives, even if they don’t want to hear it. You just can’t stop talking about it! It’s on your mind 24/7. You’ll take heed from other entrepreneurs, and will often carry around a notepad and pen just in case you get that spark of inspiration.
- You approach risks with a sense of excitement rather than caution. You’re not adverse to risk in your business plan; you know that it’s often by undertaking the most risk that you can reap the most reward. An entrepreneur knows that risk means profit, so as long as you attack it correctly, you can be in line for a huge pay-off.
- You look at other businesses and think you could do better. It’s this type of confidence that means you probably will, and all entrepreneurs have to possess it.
- You’re always thinking of how you can secure your next investment. Your business plan is at the forefront of your mind, and you always want to tweak it to make it perfect. You know that a good business plan is the key to getting investment, and you want to make sure that you do.
- You don’t get upset if one of your ideas doesn’t work out, you pick yourself up and get on with the next one. You understand that business is difficult, and that not everyone makes it all the time, even the most successful of entrepreneurs. It just makes you even more determined to succeed with your next business venture. This type of persistence is essential.
- You’ve just read this, and all the points apply to you! LOL
So whats the verdict?!
Millions of people attempt to become internet entrepreneurs and home business owners each day, but only about 5% actually succeed. There are 3 things that all entrepreneurs need in order to succeed, and working online is no different.
Without exception, highly successful entrepreneurs have short and long term goals, a positive attitude of success, and an unwillingness to give up. These three things separate unsuccessful home business owners with those who succeed and reach all of their goals.
Having goals is the starting point of achievement. Long term goals are needed to set the mark. Unless you have clearly defined long term goals you will have a hard time planning your ventures.
Once you know where you want to end up, you can begin setting short term goals, weekly, monthly, etc, that will take you step by step to success. Short term goals keep entrepreneurs on track, gives them motivation and drive, and lets them know how they are progressing.
But having goals is not worth anything unless you have a positive attitude to back it. Optimism is a key trait of successful people. You must expect to succeed in order to succeed, and the more belief that you have in yourself, the smoother the ride will be.
And because starting a business or pursuing an opportunity often times involves risk, it takes courage. Courage comes naturally when you expect to succeed. People that do not pursue their goals most likely do not feel capable, and therefore they never give themselves a shot.
And lastly, internet entrepreneurs and home business owners must be able to persist. Quitting is a common reason why people fail to develop profitable businesses. It takes time, and the big incomes are reserved for those who are willing to continue forward without viewing quitting as an option.
