YES IT IS TRUE ACTION IS REQUIRED
Action is the solution. Starving People are led to a potato field and there are spades and sacks there also but they sit there waiting for the potatoes to some how magically jump into there bag. Every thing is there for them but they don’t take the action needed to save themselves and dig the potatoes so they wont be hungry. Yet they sit there and wait
ACTION is needed.
That is my all time favorite quote. I first heard it over 12 years ago on a conference call. It cracked me up back then and it still makes me smile. The illustration is so ridiculous yet so appropriate.
If you want to eat you have to do something to get it. Action is required. These days you can go to the store so its pretty easy.
Sadly many people approach their business as though they were sitting in a field waiting for something to happen. I guess they are hoping osmosis will kick in and things will just happen.
They start their network marketing business with a glimmer in their eye. “One day I’ll retire from the drudgery of a job,” or “I will earn a thousand or so to supplement my income”, or “I’ll earn enough to cover a car payment.”
Remember that feeling? You learned about how network marketing worked and bought into the dream. The problem is, far too many sign up as distributors but they don’t take any action. They just wait for something to happen.
Network marketing is a business that you can fulfill your dreams. You can open up unimaginable freedom and lifestyle changes but . . .
. . . one thing is required. Well, actually a few things are required but they all require ACTION!!
Here are ways to help keep yourself motivated for action:
- 1. Know Your WHY -This is really important. Recently I heard someone say your why should be big enough to make you cry. Mine sure did. Even still I can get choked up when I tell my story of how I got started. It needs to be emotional and inspiring. Although others will benefit from your cause, it has to be about you.Example: My why was freedom: emotionally, financially and the ability to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it and have the recourses (money) to accomplish it with no worries – I was financially in trouble and the future was not looking good in fact it was looking worse that it already was if that was possible.
- Having been in network marketing already but not feeling a good fit, I realized that I needed a company that I was passionate about not just excited about, excitement wears off. Passion stays. The other thing I needed was a very active team with lots of support not one that signs you up and says good luck and you never see or hear from them again.
Pre-paid legal was the one that worked the passion for me. With the mess I was in I really needed it, and I knew many others just like me having an attorney at your beckon call at any time is awesome Unlimited use amazing. - Freedom from all that mess was my HUGE WHY!
- 2. Focus Daily on your WHY – When you are doing that, make sure you think deeply for a few minutes and let yourself access the emotion under it. This is VERY important. You’ll find motivation if you focus on this why EVERY SINGLE DAY. Start your day with it so you set the tone for the day. I ask myself who can I help today.
- 3. Take Daily Action – Read books, listen to audios and conference calls, work on personal development, use at least 3-5 ways to promote your business, etc. Learn what you need to do and do something daily. Write your goals very important. Make contact and talk with at least two people a day about your business
Even if you take small steps in the beginning, keep stepping forward and making progress. Visualize, set goals, work on personal development, learn to be a good marketer and leader. Stick to it. The night before write out three or four things that you are going to accomplish the next day and have a Daily Method of Operation Follow it.
If you stick to it and keep taking action, you won’t regret it.
