Introduction

The idea of being mere passengers on a ship meant to sail to the farthest points does not appeal to people who like to put their destiny into their own hands.  They have the desire of maneuvering the ships themselves, of being able to be the ones to take it anywhere they want to.  Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination is something each and every one of them dreams of, and the knowledge that they have the capacity to steer it themselves is what makes them actually want to.

Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people are looking at one of the most popular businesses around – network marketing and combining it with a home based business.  It is because in this business,

No Boss, No Time Constraints, No Lay-off

there are no bosses to order the employees around.  There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter of work do to.  One only needs to be equipped with the tools needed to succeed in a business such as this, and he is bound to get what his heart ultimately desires.

Just what are the things needed to be able to succeed in network marketing?  What must one have within him/herself to be able to do well in this industry?  There is a lot of competition involved in network marketing, and to be able to rise above the norm, one must be equipped with just the right stuff necessary to propel him forward.

There are five things one must ultimately possess if he or she wants to achieve the glory he or she is yearning for in this business, and these five things are a must to possess to be able to stand out among the rest.  Success or failure is within us.  It is all about attitude and mind-set.  Have the proper attitude and mind set and anything is possible.

Number 1

The very first quality one must possess if they want to try their hand in network marketing is the willingness to learn and be trained.  Treading through unfamiliar territory is scary stuff if one is not properly equipped, and they might get lost amidst a jungle of the unknown.  Learning the tricks of the trade is also an important aspect of the game, and one’s willingness to know it all will give him far better advantages in the business than he could ever imagine.

Number 2

The second quality one must possess is the willingness to invest time and effort even if direct results do not seem at all apparent.  Although several months may pass without good news, it is important for one who has his foot in the industry to hold on and wait.  It is this quality which would save him from giving up after investing a lot of himself in the business.

Number 3

The third quality one must possess is self-determination.  If one wants to conquer the network marketing world, he/she must have the ability to push himself/herself ahead.  Never having to say die is a quality each and every network marketer should possess, and the ability to motivate oneself into scaling greater heights is an ability which would actually take an network marketer there.

Number 4

The fourth quality one must possess is discipline.  If one knows how to teach himself/herself to work everyday with all the energy he can muster, then he is close to achieving what he has set his heart to having in the first place.

Number 5

The fifth and last quality one must possess is optimism.  Negative attitudes and hearsays should not discourage a network marketer from pursuing what he has to in order to make life better for himself and for everyone concerned.  Neither should anyone influence his attitude toward the business, because once in it, it is a must for him to be the captain of his ship and the master of his soul.

While I have outlined “5 traits to succeed in network marketing”, one other very important ingredient is to know your target market.  One of the most misunderstood teachings in network marketing is that everyone is your target market.

Do Not Pitch or Push People Into Your Business Opportunity

This is a huge mistake and the one that causes the most frustration and ultimately failure.  Trying to “Push” your business opportunity on someone who has no interest will lead to frustration.  You want people who want what you have to offer.

For example, if you choose a MLM Company with a loose weight program, your target market is not the “skinny” neighbor.  You have a product that address the person who wears jewelry.  Your target market is not the truck driver.

Get the idea?  Identify who you what to market your product or business opportunity to and ignore all others.  This will give you the biggest chance to succeed in your home based business.

The ingredients to success in a business such as network marketing are diverse and manifold, but the most important thing one needs to be able to make it big lies in himself/herself alone.  It is he who has the capacity to do everything to be able to realize his prospects, and the desire which fuels his heart in doing so is the gasoline which should keep the engine going.

Network marketing is all about putting one’s fate into their own hands.  The right attitude is the key to being able to steer one’s ship into that part of the ocean where a certain kind of serenity can be found, one that permeates the atmosphere as the ship sails calmly on.

Can you make money in network marketing?  The answer is YES!  But as this article shows is you need to take into account the “5 Things You Must Have to Succeed in Network Marketing” and apply them.

Then identify your market.  Market to them.  Build your success slowly and with passion.
