Like life, Network Marketing is an apprenticeship. You start out in awe of your product, compensation plan and the people who are successful in your organization.
So you align yourself with a high achiever to glean some of their knowledge. You try with all your heart to do what they do so you can duplicate their success. But just like the apprentice, you make mistakes. When this happens you hopefully learn a lesson; you stop that particular bad habit or unproductive routine and move on.
Unfortunately in this business, a budding Network Marketers career can be cut short by the strategies and tactics taught by our teacher (or upline). Just because they have the “gift of the gab” and can sell ice-cream to Eskimos doesn’t mean YOU can, even through your best efforts!
The great thing about Network Marketing is that when you find the right tools and methods that best suit YOUR style and personality, ANYONE CAN HAVE SUCCESS!…I spent a great deal of time trying to mimic the personalities of the high achievers that were in my company all the while feeling uneasy and unsure of myself because I wasn’t getting the same results as my teacher.
I would not be denied the success I knew was achievable in Network Marketing or the pursuit of my ultimate desire; financial freedom and self reliance. So I decided to gather all the valuable information from past lessons that I knew I could apply and found a System that I felt comfortable with and that gave me the desired results.
Today, as I write this testimony, I am living the dream of working from home doing something that I enjoy. I am safe in the knowledge that I will now achieve financial freedom because I made some changes to the way I did things.
I advise you to never stop learning!
The best method for you is just around the corner. Keep looking until you find it! When you do, apply consistent effort and you WILL succeed!
