Most people listen to their “inner critic”—their limiting beliefs, the pain of their past experiences.
“Why would anyone want to listen to me?”
They say things like…
“I’m not good at math; I’m not good at writing; I don’t have a natural talent for selling.”
“Why would anyone want to listen to me?” I don’t know enough about —- to teach anyone” “I don’t have anything to offer”
All that is junk!
But at the end of the day, that’s all it is—junk.
- Richard Branson is dyslexic.
- Jerry Seinfeld was booed off stage during his first gig.
- Henry Ford went broke 5 times before founding Ford Motors.
- Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
- Then there is: Steven King, Winston Churchill, Harrison Ford, Vincent Van Gogh, Albert Einstein, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Steven Spielberg was rejected by the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts multiple times
Etc., etc.
(I’m sure you’ve heard dozens of such stories before.)
So no—failing a few times does not excuse you from success. You are an entrepreneur! You are a business developer!
Once you’ve heard the Call, there’s no turning back from building a network marketing business.
Lets look at how important an entrepreneur is to the economy:
What is an Entrepreneur
What is an Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is an individual who, rather than working as an employee, runs a small business, assuming all the risks and rewards of the venture. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, services and business/or procedures.
In economist-speak, an entrepreneur acts as a coordinating agent in a capitalist economy. This coordination takes the form of resources being diverted toward new potential profit opportunities. The entrepreneur moves various resources, both tangible and intangible, promoting capital formation.
How Entrepreneurs Help Economies and Countries
Nurturing entrepreneurship can have a positive impact on an economy and a society in several ways. For starters, entrepreneurs create new business. They deliver goods and services, resulting in employment, and often create a ripple effect, resulting in more and more development.
Unlike traditional professions, where there is often a defined path to follow, the road to entrepreneurship is mystifying to most. What works for one entrepreneur might not work for the next and vice versa.
There are five general steps that most, if not all, successful entrepreneurs have followed:
1. Ensure Financial Stability: an aspiring entrepreneur, increasing his or her personal wealth and give him/her more time to work on building a successful business, rather than worrying about making quick money.
2. Build a Diverse Skill Set: Building a skill set can be achieved through learning and trying new tasks in real-world settings. Once a diverse skill set is built, it gives an entrepreneur a toolkit that he can rely on when he is faced with the inevitability of tough situations.
3. Consume Content Across Multiple Channels: As important as building a diverse skill set is, the need to consume a diverse array of content is equally so. This content can be in the form of podcasts, books, articles or lectures, blogs, Facebook. The important thing is giving him the ability to build a business around a specific media’
4. Identify a Problem to Solve: an aspiring entrepreneur is able to identify various problems to solve. One business adage dictates that a company’s product or service needs to solve a specific pain point – either for another business or for a consumer group. Through the identification of a problem, an aspiring entrepreneur is able to build a business around solving that problem.
5. Solve That Problem: Successful entrepreneurs solve a specific pain point for their customer or prospect. This is known as “adding value within the problem.” Only through adding value to a specific problem or pain point does an entrepreneur become successful.
Lot of people fail to successfully build a network marketing business
That’s no joke—most ventures (like 9-out-of-10) end up making NO money.
Why? Most think, “I can make money by simply sponsoring a couple people.” “I can watch TV or be a couch potato and make money.” Others just give it a “Try” never really making any commitment. Yet there are some who may not be suited to network marketing or entrepreneur. And then there are others who for some reason try to reinvent the wheel instead of following a proven guide. Finally, many lack the desire, focus, time and commitment.
Then they say that network marketing does not work, when it does work. They just didn’t do the work!
So is network marketing difficult? Yes it is! Is network marketing easy? Yes it is! Is network marketing fun? Yes it is. Can you make money with network marketing? Yes you can!
And even when you’re doing well…
Sooner or later everyone winds up in, an unknown, dangerous territory where anything can happen…
- Neo swallows the red pill and wakes up in the real world
- Frodo is captured in Shelob’s lair
- The Millennium Falcon is detained by the Death Star
- Harry and Dumbledore enter Tom Riddle’s cave
In entrepreneurial life…
It’s when you face the difficulties of building a network marketing business.
And yeah…
You WILL face them—ask anyone who’s achieved success.
- People will scoff at you…
- Some will reject you—brutally….
- You will receive a lot of NO’s….Personally I like the NO’s because it gives me a platform to answer their NO’s.
Even your friends and family will caution you, often with the best of intentions.
And even when you achieve success, the Journey’s far from over.
Now there’s going to be a target on your back.
People are going to want what’s rightfully yours.
That’s life.
Now while all this sounds all depressing, it’s not. You need to face really now than later. A lot of people do succeed, but they also relayed on a mentor or help.
Anyone who thinks they can “Go-It-A-Lone” is only fooling themselves. Here is where you can get that valuable help:
“Gee,” I can almost hear you ask…
“Can I skip all that with a mentor to guide me through!?”
Well, the answer is “yes and no.”
And that’s the way it should be!
Here’s why…
Yes, you DO need a mentor; having one is key to your success when building a network marketing business.
After all…
- Steve Jobs mentored Mark Zuckerberg.
- Maya Angelou mentored Oprah.
- Heck, even Mother Teresa was mentored by Father Michael van der Peet.
Who knows if all those people would be successful without their teachers?
Your mentor is your strategist and most honest critic.
But he or she is only there to guide you—to point the way, not to lead you through the Belly of the Whale.
Can you skip the mentor? Sure can. However, its going to take a lot longer to see any success. Your chance of failure also increases.
To succeed…
You must concentrate your desire to shine light into the pitch-black unknown that is your future.
Here at Elite Marketing Pro, we provide mentorship, it’s true.
But we cannot provide the desire, the WILL to follow-through and achieve your dreams.
That’s on YOU.
Is the reward worth the struggle?
