Is Your MLM Business Making You Crazy?

Let me guess you are probably like any of the other masses of people who were sold on MLM because of how easy it is. You were told it was easy to go out and get three people who automatically did the same thing immediately. You liked the idea of having it easy and making tons of cash!

The reality has probably sunk in for you by now that it is not an easy business to build. Your thoughts about this realization are probably on the verge of making you crazy. It does take time, effort, and skills to be successful in MLM just like it does in any business. If you have come to this realization, congratulations, you have made great progress. It means you have kept your head above water for longer than the other 95% who have already dropped out.

The next thing you must master in not going crazy while you are building your MLM business is monitoring what you say to yourself. It is critical that you become aware of your self-talk. How many times have you planned to go out to talk to someone about your products or business and by the time you reach that person you have talked yourself out of it. The truth is you never talked to anyone but in your brain you have already been rejected!

Beware of your thoughts. They can either bring you up or tear you down. The good news is that you do have control of them. Napoleon Hill says it well, "Success comes to those who become success conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious." Read that sentence over and over until it sinks into your thick skull. Then make it a habit to dwell on your successes no matter how small they may be!

When you were told that building a MLM business was easy you probably felt some comfortable feelings. Do not get used to being comfortable. It is a true indicator that you are making progress if you feel uncomfortable. What! Who wants to be uncomfortable? It is a simple reality that must occur for those who long to change their current situation. When you are comfortable you are not changing. If you are not changing you are not moving toward your destination. You are most likely moving further away.

Do not let yourself be controlled by fear of being uncomfortable!

Now you know that much of building a MLM business is learning how to control your mental thoughts. Remember that anything worth having takes a massive amount of energy. If you are married or have children you know what I am talking about. Get control of your mental game and be committed to continuous learning and you will watch your business grow beyond your wildest dreams!

Work From Home MLM Business

Today many people are looking for a work from home MLM business. It is a popular trend today as many people are sick and tired of the rat race. They are looking for a way out of their J.O.B. status (just over broke). Others are simply being forced to look for something else because of corporate downsizing and jobs being sent to other countries.

When people want to work from home in a MLM business most can only afford to do it part-time while they still work at their job. That is truly one of the greatest benefits of MLM. You can start only part-time and do most of your work from home.

The internet has become a great tool to help people do more work from home. It is important to remember that the internet is only a tool. The MLM business is about building relationships. The internet can make the relationship building process easier through blogs, email and auto-responders. But the truth is people still like real contact. This contact can be via the phone, snail mail, or meeting in person. Keep this in mind when using the internet and you will build stronger relationships faster. This will result in faster growth for your business.

The choices for a work from home MLM business are endless. There are many products available that you can do home parties or demonstrations. In these types of businesses you have to go out to put on the party but most of the work can be done from the comfort of your own home.

Many MLM companies are products that are consumable or that you use regularly around the house. With this type of business most of the time you will get customers that will get a monthly order. As long as they love the products and you keep in touch they will provide you business month after month.

The key to any MLM is to find team members who want to build a business as well. This is where the incredible leverage opportunity of this business model gets exciting. Do not be fooled customers are very important to your business but you want to continuously be building relationships with potential business builders. It is when you have a team of business builders that financial freedom and time freedom become a reality.

It is important to remember that your business will produce what you put into it. A real challenge to working at home is to stay on track or keeping to your schedule. This is critical in any field. Most of the time we have a boss, teacher, or supervisor that makes sure we get all our duties done. You do not have that at home. It is very important to get an accountability partner that will help you stay on task.

It is very exciting to be able to work from home in a MLM business. It is a dream that many people have but few are willing to pay the price to experience. Make the choice today that you will live the life of your dreams without the stress of a boss or commute!

Are You Taking Baby Steps?

Interesting title as my third child is due to be born in about six weeks. It is amazing how fast time is flying!

Why am I talking about baby steps? It is important that you take a baby step in your MLM business each day in the right direction. You may not notice much difference in a week or even a month but you will be surprised at what it will look like in a year in your business.

We all know the story of the tortoise and the hare. The hare appeared to be much faster but in the end who won?

It is important to focus on all your victories and use them as motivation to keep you moving forward!

Live Great!
