It hardly seems fair.

My friend Paul had been a network marketer for years.  He attended all the meetings, used the products, and talked to people about his business.

He even started a blog and posted some videos.

Still, after 6 years in network marketing, he was barely able to cover his marketing expenses.  His wife still told him he was wasting his time.

And still, he plodded on.

Steve, on the other hand, never really thought about working a business from home.  He saw something online, however, that looked kind of interesting, so he filled out the form for more information.

In a couple days, Steve had joined a network marketing company.  In 12 weeks, he was able to quit his day job and work his business full time.

In 6 months, Steve moved to Fiji, and was working his business just an hour a day.

How can this be?

MLM Secret Number 1: Be Credible

Well, as in life, it’s survival of the fittest.  Fittest in our industry means the most credible.  Some people are just born with that level of credibility.  People flock to them like rock stars.

Most of us, however, have to work at it.

We buy courses, study them, then write and post videos about what we’ve learned.  We imitate the successes of our predecessors by following their instructions, and tell others what has and hasn’t worked for us.

Eventually, people start believing that we really know what we’re talking about.  This is especially so if they’ve tried a technique they learned from you and it worked for them.

MLM Secret Number 2: Be Consistent

In addition to being credible, it’s also essential that you’re consistent.  Again, just like with credibility, some of us are born with a natural urge to be consistent, and some of us have to focus intensely on not allowing distractions to consume us or take us off our chosen course.

Since I like to write, I do a lot of article writing.  If I only write when I feel like it, however, I probably wouldn’t see much results.  By consistently writing every single day, however, I can count on a certain amount of leads being generated every day.

Of all the marketers I’ve met, consistency is probably the single most common ingredient responsible for their lack of success.

MLM Secret Number 3: Get Your Head On Straight

Another trait we hear a lot about is mindset.  Honestly, this one goes hand in hand with the others.  It’s impossible to be consistent without the proper mindset, and it’s impossible to build credibility without consistency.

You obtain the proper mindset by surrounding yourself with people you want to imitate.

That being said, many of us find ourselves in cubicles, tolerating the worst mindsets known to mankind.  When we get home, we’re bombarded by even more negativity.

Does this mean our situations are hopeless?

If you find yourself immersed in negativity and you’re unable to hang with the likes of Bill Gates or Les Brown, you can still reap the rewards of their presence.  You do this by reading.

I find when I’m reading a Jim Rohn or Tony Robbins book, it’s like they’re talking directly to me.  I am surrounding myself with their influence.

This is especially helpful if you have audios or videos of people you want to be like.

If you have a successful upline, give him/her a call on a regular basis.  Make that person your friend.  Have them introduce you to others they know who are successful.

If you fill out the form on the right, you will learn how to attract prospects to you like crazy.
