| Seven Truths by Thom Gruber |
A wise man once defined success as a refined study of the obvious.
How true. Most of what we need to know, say, and do to achieve mastery in Network
Marketing could be easily taught and understood by a 12 year old.
Why then are we making this business so difficult?
Let's agree to start teaching The Seven Truths of Network Marketing to those who
actually want to create their own destiny, and leave the rest of the world alone.
After all, we're involved in a great industry, with
wonderful people, offering unprecedented opportunity. And we should be proud to
speak the truth....
1) Network Marketing is a business, A REAL BUSINESS.
(Now over 60 YEARS OLD.)
Network marketing is a unique form of enterprise, and you've got to understand
the game you're playing. Therefore, mentally consume every page of your
distributor manual, online or the day it arrives. Listen to your audio training
programs again, and again, and again. Like a song on the radio, you master the
words by hearing the music one more time.
2) Freedom by the numbers.
Understand the numbers, and your compensation plan. Start by involving two, three
or five people-whatever number of legs and leaders your plan dictates-and go to
work. By your second year, the commissions paid on your invested efforts could
well equal a mid six-figure annual income. After that, the sky's the limit.
3) Attend (at least one a week) Internet/Conference call. (See Conference Call
Schedule)
The weekly presentation is part of the process. You need to be in attendance
every call-to hear the presentation again. Remember the music? You need the
association, and the environment to showcase your company for your
prospects. True, not everyone attending every meeting earns $10,000 a month.
However, everyone earning $10,000 a month attends every meeting. Now that's a
refined study of the obvious.
4) Work only one company!
Leaders understand this truth, because no man or woman can serve two masters. Don’
t be a "JACK of ALL TRADES
. . . MASTER of NONE!"
5) Have a compelling, written "Why?"
Success in Network Marketing is 20% how to, and 80% why to... The best part is,
if your reasons are strong enough you'll learn everything you need to know along
your journey.
6) Invest in yourself first.
Some people are trying to earn an exceptional wage, using an ordinary education.
It can't be done. If you want to earn more, you've got to learn more. Therefore,
read all the books, attend all the classes, and learn everything you possibly can.
7) Decide in writing and you'll be there a year from now.
Long-term written goals possess the power to pull you right to the top of your
company. Put your dreams for your future on paper, and begin building your life
of magnificence.
"If you want this thing to work, you've got to work this thing you want."
REMEMBER: "If it is TO BE! . . . IT’S UP TO ME!"
The Best minute you may ever SPEND, is the one you INVEST in SOMEONE ELSE!
GIVE a man a fish and you FEED him for A DAY! . . .
BUT, TEACH a man to fish and you FEED him for a LIFETIME!
