1. Get Started
The first key to greatness is to make a decision and get started. I get a lot of inquiry from people wanting to run their own business in the direct selling industry, but only a few of them actually make it along to take a look at the company and it's products and out of that, just a hand full of them actually starts the business. To embark on your journey to success you must at least take your first step to go take a look. If you’re not there you can’t and won’t learn and make a decision.
2. Keep Showing Up
There are lots of distractions in life, and all too often after an initial burst of enthusiasm people find things getting in the way of their initial training and learning period. At this point you need to decide how much you really want it. If you want it enough you will find a way to put the distractions aside and carry on your path. You must also be very consistent in showing up for every event that your company will put up, from city level up unto the national level. Every person at the top of their game shows up in every event.
3. Put In The Hours
Research suggests that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master a skill. Certainly in my own experience I have observed in all areas of life that it is not necessarily those who initially seem to have a talent for something that achieve the greatest success, but those that stick with it and put the practice in year after year.
It will take you about 5 years if you spend 4 hours each day for 5 days in a week to put in 10,000 hours of practice into your own business and focusing on developing your selling, inter-personal and any other skills you may need to build a great business for yourself. All of life is about sales and all sales is about influence, So must put in effort to develop by constant practice. If you decide to practice your business by exposing 2 people to your business each day, freedom will come your way.
4. Practice Brings Improvement
It is not just the quantity of practice that matters, but quality as well. When you practice, always try to be improving, not just going through the motions.
So always work with the law of averages in mind and try to improve upon your starting ratios, one way to see you are improving or developing is that, your business and activities must get easier overtime.
5. Keep Working On The Basics
A true master does not tire of doing the basics of their business, because they understand that they create the foundation for everything else that they do. As you keep practicing the simple basics you will find many subtle nuances that you were previously unaware of and that were beyond your understanding.
If you happen to be in a company that sells nutritional products and supplements like my company, then you are required to be a product of your products by using them everyday. Believe in them before trying to get someone on them.
Also, one key practice in this industry is to build an organization by getting others involved. So you must never stop talking to people and getting new members to join you as a basic routine.
6. Consult The Experts
Wherever possible, consult the experts to help you in learning and improving. You must not waste time trying to reinvent the wheel, once there are people who are doing better than you are and may have been around for sometime before you join the company tap into them and learn new and better ways of doing things in the business. You can do this in many ways, asking good questions and listening to the answers in meetings and trainings are good starting points.
7. Set Goals Along The Way
That target of 5 years can seem pretty daunting, so it helps to set intermediate goals along the way. This is why we have a system of ranks or levels on the marketing plan in every company (but if your company doesn't have it i suggest you must look for a better company), it helps us to see the progress we are making on our path to mastery and taking charge of our lives and building a financial wall around us and our families that nothing can get through.
You might want to set other goals as well, maybe specific sales and money you would like to earn on a weekly or monthly basis. Be sure that it must always grow. Then put in the work to achieve your goal, you’ll feel great when you do.
8. Don’t Let Setbacks Push You Off Your Path
Inevitably on your journey you will from time to time face setbacks. You may not achieve some of your goals as quickly as you had planned. You may have a job or other life commitments that needs to be attended to. This happens to EVERYONE, all too often people will let these setbacks stop them and move them off their path. Those that go on to greatness are the ones that treat these setbacks as delays and not as obstacles that can’t be overcome. As soon as they are able to, they get back on their path and carry on from where they left off.
9. Enjoy The Journey
A lot of these keys to greatness have been about hard work and perseverance, but it is important that you enjoy yourself along the way. One of the secrets to this is to learn to enjoy hard work! But as well as this, take time to have fun with what you are working on. In network marketing business this can be things like competitions and performances, taking advantage of promotions, extravaganzas, and the social events we have from time to time.
Here are a few videos of some of the fun times we’ve had along the way at my company.
10. Surround Yourself With Like-minded Individuals
This last one is really important. The road to mastery is a long one and its going to be a lot easier if you have support along the way. When you look at the great people in any area of expertise, you will often find that there is a group of them that developed a particular skill at the same time, often coming from the same community, the same social groups and so on. This is no coincidence; having friends and acquaintances who are pursuing the same goals you are is a huge help.
These friends can provide inspiration, motivation and competition that helps you to become the best you can be. They help you to stay focused on your goals and to have fun along the way. It is a lot easier to put those 4 hours into your business because every time you hang out with your friends you end up doing some more learning(prospecting and selling) because its what you enjoy doing together.
So make friends with the people you do business with. As well as seeing them at training and all events, take the opportunity to socialise with them as well. If you don’t have enough friends in network marketing, see if some of your other friends would like to start and help them begin their own journey to own and run their profitable business.
