Mindset

Mindset training is a very important part of network marketing. Developing the entrepreneur’s mindset is about doing the right MLM activities consistently.

A lot of people that begin the journey, of building a successful network marketing business, don’t actually know the price that has to be paid.

The excitement from income earning potential would shoot way down, if you really knew what needed to be done to reach that pinnacle. This is also why only 2 to 3% of network marketers have any real success.

If it were easy, don’t you think more people would be succeeding at network marketing?

Mindset Training On Self-Discipline

One of the alluring aspects of being an online network marketer is that of not needing to do face-to-face prospecting.

It boils down to a decrease in rejection, while increasing exposure to your target market. Face-to-face prospecting has its advantages, but what you lose in personal contact is made up through the potential number of people that will be exposed to your business.

The main point around mindset training that needs to be focused on is self-discipline.

A great book on the subject of Self-Discipline is Take The Stairs, by Rory Vaden

You need to do what most people are unwilling to do. Once you have a blog or website up and running, you need to be diligent with keyword research, social media interaction, and content creation.

You will have to do a lot of work before you can realize any real income gains. This shouldn’t be discouraging, because this type of mindset gives you an advantage over other people that aren’t willing to put in the work.

I can imagine that this isn’t what you wanted to read about. You have to do real work! So what! Do the work, stay focused and don’t procrastinate.

The faster you can get the work out there on the Internet, the faster you will see the rewards.

There is a psychology of success in network marketing that hits at the heart of all successful top MLM earners. If you stay focused, success is yours.

There is a lot of excitement generated when like-minded people see the vision in the form of potential wealth, through the vehicle of network marketing.

I remember when I first caught the fire. The compensation plan was a little hard to understand, but I understood enough to see the potential in growing a very large organization.

Over time, a lot of us lose that fire. Reality kicks in, as we hear, one too many, individuals ask the dreaded question, “Is this a pyramid scheme?”

Psychology Of Success Principle #1: Building the Foundation

It can be a little disheartening to realize just how much work goes into becoming a successful network marketer. If you use an Internet marketing model, your journey isn’t necessarily easier; just different.

When you really think about it, you have to keep in mind that everyone that joins under you, for the most part, will feel some of the same emotions and insecurities about putting in the work.

Building the foundation is about putting in the time and effort to get content up and running. It doesn’t have to be great, but it has to be done.

The faster you build it, meaning your website or blog, the faster you will see results. This is the psychology of success in action. My advice is that you get busy writing blog posts, putting up videos, building your email list, and interacting with social media.

It’s up to you, just how fast you build your online presence.

Psychology Of Success Principle #2: Work the Numbers Game

There is really no way of telling just how many recruits you will need before you start to produce a true residual income. The reason for this is simple; not everyone you bring into the business will stick around, and not everyone is going to produce new recruits.

Attrition and non-performance are very common factors with network marketing.

My suggestion is to work recruits in blocks of 25. That’s a large enough number to begin seeing the ratio of your downline group performance.

A good goal is to work toward getting 75 to 100 recruits. It may not take that much, but why leave it to chance? Most top performers have enrolled around 100 recruits or more.

Be sure that you integrate content building with email marketing. The goal is to set up marketing funnels that allow you to collect names and e-mail addresses. The psychology of success dictates that you work the numbers.

The more valuable content that you put up, the more website visitors you will receive.

There are a few ratios that you will want to figure out:

• How many visitors come to your site before you collect an e-mail address?
• How many e-mail addresses do you obtain before someone signs up as a recruit?
• How many recruits do you need to sign up before you come across someone that’s willing to put in the work of building their online presence?

These are just a few things to consider, so that you don’t get discouraged about the fallacies of building a network marketing business.

There is a definite psychology of success, and you will begin to see a pattern, the more work you put into it.

Having an entrepreneur mindset propels you to success in your network marketing business. When you practice it diligently, you will become an MLM Champion.

If you’ve ever been sidetracked by all the forces that seem to slow you down, or you have a feeling of being totally lost about what to do with your MLM business, then this will serve as a guide for establishing an entrepreneur mindset.

Entrepreneur Mindset Trait # 1: Work Now, Get Paid Later!

Most people that are involved in the network marketing industry only have limited resources with which to build their business. They usually work 9-to-5 jobs, while holding onto a dream about building wealth through network marketing.

Whether they work a regular job or have any number of responsibilities that get in the way of building a business, the dilemma of figuring out what it takes to reach their dreams can take the wind out of their sails.

I have a general assumption about network marketers; it’s their dream to build their business as fast as possible. Well…a network marketing business can be built pretty fast, if all of the right variables are attended to.

Imagine for a second that you are working your network marketing business, and you are paid a salary to do it. How would this change how you work the business?

Continuing with the scenario of being paid a salary, what exactly would you do if you were given 60 days to build your business,  and you would not continue to get paid a salary when the time ran out?

Developing an entrepreneur mindset is about having  a vision, work habits and focus with building something before you can actually see the reward. It’s about allocating your time and resources, while engaging in activities that are not particularly enjoyable or interesting.

In short, you have to put in the work that the successful 2% of network marketers are doing. Get rid of the “I’ll believe it when I see it” mentality. The entrepreneur mindset is about working hard, before you ever see a dime.

Entrepreneur Mindset Trait # 2: Use Your Compass to Find the Right Activities!

The entrepreneur mindset for network marketing success is not just about working hard; it’s about moving on a straight line to find the shortest distance to success.

Do you know what skill sets are necessary to be successful in your business? Do you know your weaknesses that limit that success?

The answers to these questions are not a one-size-fits-all solution. The idea of a leader standing in front of a crowd, motivating them to take action, was the original picture I had in my head about who the successful network marketer was.

There are many successful network marketers that don’t fit this mold, but they did figure out the right activities that would allow them to see success.

Although you may not speak in front of crowds, I do believe that it is essential for you to have the ability to guide one person with the right activities of building their business. The reason I put an emphasis on one person, is that successful organizations are built one person at a time.

Narrowing it down to specifics, there are only two things that you need to know to build a successful network marketing business:

1. The products/services and compensation plan of your network marketing company.
2. A marketing system that you can explain to your recruits.

You don’t have to be a marketing expert, if the system you are using utilizes marketing training and automated marketing tools. It does, however, mean that you make full use of that training to promote yourself.

I put emphasis on promoting yourself, because the marketing system that you use should be a generic system that can be applied across many types of marketing niches.

Don’t expect your network marketing company to have this system in place; in fact, you shouldn’t really be selling your network marketing company. You should be selling your own personal brand, which goes beyond the company you are promoting.

As a general rule,  people don’t buy from companies. They buy from other people.

When you combine hard work with doing the right activities, you shorten the potential path to success with your business.
