The Mindset You Need for Ultimate Success in Network Marketing and Running a Home-Based Business - This presentation will help you find your way in creating wealth and happiness in your life.
3. If you have been retrenched, lost your job, or
you are still struggling to find a new
employment opportunity, then you may
already know that home based businesses are
often better than jobs.
4. In the past a job meant job security
and a constant income; today, with
the struggling economy, it has
become obvious that jobs no
longer offer the security they used
to.
5. Starting your own home based business puts
your future financial destiny in your own hands.
Peter Drucker said it best when he said, “The
best way to predict the future is to create it.”
6. No job could pay you the salary
that you could earn by building
your own home business. Top
network marketers earn millions of
dollars in commissions each month.
7. Colonel Saunders, Bill Gates, Martha Stewart,
and countless others have followed their
dreams, pursued their passions, and turned
their home based businesses into multibillion-
dollar corporations, but what sets them apart
from the rest of us is their mindset.
8. Mindset is what makes certain individuals see
the possible even where others are sure it’s
impossible. It is the characteristic that seeks
solutions, rather than becoming bogged down
by the potential problems.
9. It is this trait that allows certain individuals to
fail five hundred times, and instead of giving
up, allows them to say, “I have not failed, I
have just discovered a thousand ways that
won’t work,” as Edison did.
10. It is attitudes that entrepreneurs
develop that allow them to
continue to strive to improve
themselves and their business.
11. Contrary to popular belief, mindset
is not an innate characteristic.
Mindset can be taught, learned,
and nurtured. That is why so many
successful entrepreneurs credit a
mentor with their success.
12. They learned to be successful. They learned the
skills they needed to succeed. They developed
the skills they needed and they continuously
strive to improve themselves. They invested
their most important resource–their time–into
learning the characteristics that helped them
succeed.
13. The biggest hurdle in developing a
mindset for success is accepting
that a leopard can indeed change
its spots and you can learn to
develop the skills and traits that
will help you to succeed.
14. If you are ready to accept that you
can develop the mindset and skills
necessary to be a successful
entrepreneur, then here are some
tips and traits you should be
developing to ensure your success.
15. The first step to developing a mindset of
success is developing the belief that you can
learn to be intelligent, creative, and confident.
Through articles, courses, and mentorship, you
can develop the skills you need.
16. You can learn be a leader and a successful
entrepreneur. You can learn to be a good
salesperson. You can learn to invest your
money wisely. You can learn the traits essential
to be a good leader and to build a good team
of people to help you.
17. Most of the skills you need to be a successful
businessperson are skills that can be acquired.
Acquiring those skills starts with the belief that
you have the ability to learn them. In a
fascinating study, children were divided into
two groups.
18. One group was only taught how the brain
worked and that they could learn to improve
their intelligence. The other group was taught
various study techniques but were not taught
that intelligence could be learnt.
19. The astounding result of the study was that the
children who really believed intelligence could
be taught, actually outperformed the children
who had been given the tools to study well.
Those children also continued to improve in
their grades.
20. Your belief and your thoughts determine your
action. Bruce Lee said, “As you think, so shall
you become.” This is true for you. If you
believe you can succeed you will do whatever
it takes to find your own path and to pursue
your passion.
21. You will begin to invest your time in reading
about successful people. You will begin to
make the investment in your own skills. You
will learn to spot the opportunities that will
change your life.
22. But before you rush off to change the world,
remember that many have walked this path
before you. It is vital to learn from your
mistakes but a good mentor can help you to
navigate some of the pitfalls you will face on
your journey.
23. There is a reason why multi-level
network marketing companies
spend billions of dollars on training
their teams. They know agents that
are well trained succeed, and when
their agents succeed, they succeed.
24. If you are new to running a business, then one
of the top multi-level marketing companies is a
great place to start, because success breeds
success. Take every opportunity you can to
learn.
25. Becoming a successful entrepreneur is a
journey, not a destination. Invest in training,
surround yourself with others who are further
along the road, and learn from every
opportunity that you get to improve your skills.
26. Entrepreneurs, by their very nature, are
learning new skills all the time. Do not be afraid
to realize and admit that you don’t know it all.
Find out what skills are necessary for success in
your chosen business and constantly strive to
learn more about them.
27. Edison registered over one thousand patents in
his lifetime. Keep striving to improve your
systems, your products, your services, and
most importantly, your own personal skills as
an entrepreneur.
28. Don’t’ ever give up. Vince Lombardi said,
“Winners never quit and quitters never win.” It
may sound like trite advice, but the bottom line
is that behind every successful inventor,
businessman, and entrepreneur is a string of
failures and some minor successes that were
the path to their success.
29. The personal transformation guru, Tony
Robbins, failed miserably, lost everything, but
he did not give up. He came back. Stronger
than before and has used his experience to
transform even more lives. An outcome,
whether successful or a failure, is merely a step
on your journey. Build on your victories and
learn from your mistakes.
30. Follow your passion. Passion is most likely one
of the most important ingredients in the recipe
to becoming a successful entrepreneur. A
home based business is not a nine to five job.
Yes, you can regulate your own hours, you can
spend more time with your family, but you will
be putting in more hours than a regular job.
31. The difference is that you will be doing what
you love. You will want to go the extra mile, to
provide the service, to nurture your business
as if it’s one of your babies, and you will be just
as proud to watch it grow and thrive.
32. Be courageous. Walt Disney said, “All our
dreams can come true, if we have the courage
to pursue them.” Running a home business
requires courage. The courage to swim against
the stream, to take responsibility for your own
destiny and often for the destiny of others.
33. Your courage will be handsomely rewarded in
the satisfaction of your customers, in the
smiles of your employees, and in the pride you
feel when you realize that you are changing the
world, one day at a time, one deal at a time.
34. Be creative. Albert Einstein said, “Logic will get
you from A to B. Imagination will take you
everywhere.” Before you say, “I can’t be
creative,” read the first few paragraphs of this
article again. Creativity is a skill that can be
learned and nurtured.
35. One of the most important aspects with
regards to creativity is that you cannot be a
perfectionist and be creative. The bottom line
is that creativity is a process and your product,
your business, and even your life, is a work in
progress.
36. According to Forbes magazine’s article on
Entrepreneurs sharing their top tips, “finished
beats perfect.” Take a small step towards your
destination each day and don’t sweat the
details if everything wasn’t perfect.
37. You learned, you will
improve, and you are
on the road to success.
38. Do not be afraid to start small. Larry Page, a
co-founder of Google, said, “You don’t need to
have a 100-person company to develop an
idea.” Bear in mind that most home businesses
began as a one-person show, with a passion to
serve.
39. You don’t need thousands of dollars to invest in
your business. Start small. Learn as you go and
keep striving to improve. And one day, when
you look back, remember to enjoy the journey.
40. Finally, listen to your head and your heart, and
occasionally to those around you. One of the
biggest challenges is to try to convince the
naysayers that surround you. Learn to listen to
criticism with a view to improving what you do
without allowing it to affect your passion.
41. If negative people surround you, change your
social structure. The entrepreneurs that
succeed are the ones who pursue the
impossible until it becomes a reality. Surround
yourself with people who see the potential,
the possibilities and the opportunities, rather
than the problems and potential pitfalls.
