I have always believed that to ever want to succeed in
life, all you can do is to work on yourself more. To me
it's a lot like understanding the importance of personal
development.
Everyday I am a student. Constantly learning, improving and
always yearning for growth - whether personally,
spiritually or in business.
So what does this have to do with network marketing, you
ask?
Everything! It's what makes the top earners in the industry
be where they are today. Anyone has the ability to achieve
success in network marketing. And by you reading this, I
know you have what it takes! What that means is your
commitment and persistence and you acquiring the right
tools.
So what are the tools and personal skills to make one's
goals and dreams a reality?
The personal skills necessary include people skills, time
management, goal setting, positive attitude and the
practice of being a student of success. All of which are
really the heart of a decent network marketing company.
The most profound thing I learned from an mlm coach was
that 'People drastically overestimate what they can
accomplish in 90 days but drastically underestimate what
they can accomplish in 5 years.'
That's when I understood that the path to success,
something we all strive for, doesn't happen over night, in
a week, a month or in one year!
Jim Rohn told it like this, 'You can have EVERYTHING you
want in any six year period, IF you commit to a plan of
personal development.'
It's the discipline to give up one hour of the idiot box
and reading timeless inspirational books from great leaders
and teachers of our time. Such include Napoleon Hill, Dale
Carnegie, Wallace D. Wattles, Robert Kyosaki, Brian Tracy,
Anthony Robbins, Robert G. Allen and Les Brown just to name
a few.
A characteristic that you will notice that of top earners
is that they will spend much more time and money improving
on themselves than the average person. For example one top
earner spent $70 on Brian Tracy's 'The Psychology of
Selling' audio tapes and listened to them as he drove.
Results showed that he had increased his income by $70,000
that year - a return of 1,000 times - by putting Tracy's
ideas to work.
As you develop a daily habit of reading and listening to
mind-expanding ideas from successful people, you will never
fail to learn a new thought, strategy or technique. You
will also find it a great joy, as it does for me, to
squeeze in moments to read a few pages of a book a day or
20mins of good audio.
To help you on creating your Personal Development Plan,
here are practical steps for you to get started today.
1. Read at least 10 pages every day of a personal
development book.
2. Listen to at least 20 minutes a day to a personal
development audio.
3. Attend a personal growth live seminar and professional
courses at least quarterly.
Consider this to be just as vital to your success as the
air you breathe. It will start to pay off as you watch the
change that start to come over time and you begin to notice
certain things, and feel subtle hunches that point you in
the right direction. The reason for this is because your
subconscious mind is working over time sending signals to
your conscious mind in helping you reach your goal.
So let me ask you. Where would you be three to four years
from now if you DIDN'T commit to these habits?
It's true. We are where we are right now because of the
choices we have made over the last few years. Just doing
small simple things everyday through reading and learning -
you're already separating yourself from the masses. Quote
from Brian Tracy: 'The more you do of what you're doing,
the more you'll get of what you're getting.' This is the
stuff that makes champions and the reason why only a small
percentage of the population ever BECOME successful.
While others flounder around, searching for some external
factor to change in their lives, I remember this one quote
that I've taken on as an affirmation, 'Your level of income
will never rise above the level of your personal
development.'
