MLM Success Checklist

Posted on 30. Jan, 2012 by Viola Tam in MLM Success Mindset

Welcome back!

MLM Success Checklist?

Why do we need the checklist?

Here is my answer – there are specific ingredients that you must have before you can reach for final goal. Missing any of these could mean total failure of your network marketing endeavour! For some less important ingredients, missing them could mean a slow and painful journey. For most people, that would ultimately mean quitting!

 

4  Success BELIEF Factors:

1. The RIGHT Industry

2. The RIGHT Company

3. The RIGHT Products/Services

4. “YOU”  Factor

While these are important BELIEF Factors, I found myself got trapped because of my lacking other PRACTICAL Factors!

You may be asking – what kind of practical factors?

I’d like you to hear what Brian Tracy talks about Successful People are Action-Oriented and appreciate the importance of “HOW” in Network Marketing.

Here is the short video clip:

 4 PRACTICAL Success Factors:

1.  Actions to REACH or MAINTAIN a 100% Success Mindset

2.  Skills for Communicating and Marketing Well

3.  System(s) for Generating Leads

4.  System(s) for Simple Duplication

I am going to elaborate on each of the above Practical Factors.

(1)  SUCCESS MINDSET:

Do we need to have a 100% Success Mindset to start with?

No, yet we definitely need to understand that without a Success Mindset, we can never reach our final goal! That is, we need to work towards having one if we are not there yet.

WHY?

Contradictory beliefs will ‘self-sabotage’ our Mission(to be Successful in MLM)!

The key is to appreciate the importance of a Success Mindset and commit to making it a GOAL to get to the 100% belief mark.

HOW?

Here are some proven methods that can help:

1. Associate with people who are supporting your goals and dreams

2. Research and gather a list of Successful Stories of MLM Gurus

3. Read Motivational Books and Success MLM Stories/ listen to the audio versions

4. Attend Personal Development Seminars and Workshops regularly

Here are some tips to help you identify if you have 100% in the Network Marketing Industry. Do you have any of these thoughts?

     (a) “I am concerned about doing something unethical if I join this MLM Company.”

     (b) “I do not want to take advantage of the relationships with my friends or relatives for

             my own financial gain.”

      (c) “I do not want to rip off my friends and families to pressure them to buy stuff that they

             do not want.”

 

For (a). we need to fully understand that Network Marketing is a LEGITIMATE marketing model. There may be unethical independent distributors but the industry itself is a legitimate one. It is HOW we are doing the business that matters!

Tim Sales has produced a wonderful video to clarify this mis-conception, bring inHarvestUniversity trained Professor Charles King into the scene. I will be featuring Tim in my blog in November.

 

For (b), we really need to ask ourselves why is it that we would like to keep the secrets to ourselves if we have discovered some fantastic products or services. Would it be considered selfish if we decide not to share?

In December this year, I will be featuring Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter in my blog. One of his famous lines is that “everybody is doing network marketing but they just did not get paid for it”. It is something that you may want to ponder….isn’t this thought interesting?

 

For (c), it is related very much to Tom’s idea. If we appreciate the value of a product or service and is happily spending money on those, what make us think that some other people would not like to do the same?

For example, I had had terrible pain at my left shoulder joint many years ago, I suffered for a while but had the pain TOTALLY GONE after taking some premier supplements recommended by my friend. Here is THE KEY QUESTION:

Did I feel being ripped off by my friend?

NO, of course! Not only that, I THANKED her for recommending such wonderful products to me. I have remained pain free ever since except for a very short period of time when I experienced minor shoulder pain again at my other shoulder. Guess what? The ‘magic’ pills that helped me before helped me again!

I am sure that people can relate to my story! I am blessed to be in a position that I can be of help to others. Stay tuned for my next blog which with cover  No. (2) – Communicating & Marketing Well.

    Hi Viola,

    I agree that the word HOW can be very powerful. However, most people rather attract obstacles by asking this question, don’t you think ? We shouldn’t ask it too soon in the process.

    In order evaluate an MLM business, you need check 5 simple question, 5 simple pillars that need to be in place. Miss one, and you’re doomed to fail.

    Thanks for sharing your insights.

    Be blessed

      Hi, Oliver,

      Great point about having some simple questions to guide us how to evaluate an MLM company.

      I agree that some people can attract negative thoughts because of the focus on the issue (eg. no money). It is through the use of “HOW” question that can help. For example, by saying “How am I going to have more money?” This is all about thinking pattern. When we are in the How-thinking mode, we focus on solutions spacer

      Of course, we can’t ask how without first identifying what the issue is. With a positive thinking pattern and the right attitude, positive things will be attracted to us as we go into a relaxed state of creativity.

      Thanks, Oliver, for your insights!

    Hi Viola,

    You are absolutely correct!

    I used to have that problem also. It was not until I immersed myself in the teachings of leaders of this industry that I became convinced that this industry is the way to go.

    Today I had someone tell me that she hates MLM, but ironically she is in a MLM company. When she told me that she is struggling I was not suprised. How could you possible convince another man of something you are not convinced about.

    We bring value to people and until we immerse ourselves in that.,we will keep beating ourselves up and not make impact.

    Thanks to the person who shared that wonderful product with you. I would never have met you. spacer

      Hi, Tosin,

      You are right. Those who are struggling probably because the mindset is ‘not there yet’. This is a BIG GAP that many network marketers would fail to cross as the self-doubt kicks in. Both you and I realize the importance of having a trusted mentor.
      With a strong enough ‘Why’ , a good mentor and a simple and easy to duplicate system, anyone can succeed in Network Marketing. You do not even need to have the best product. A ‘good-enough’ one is good enough spacer

      I am blessed to be in the same MLM as you. Meet you somewhere at the company event.

    Dear Viola,

    Wow, I love the new “look” and “feel” of your blog! What an excellent job you’ve done evolving this space. Kudos to you, sister!

    I especially enjoy your point #4 about the YOU FACTOR in one’s MLM Success.

    I bet if we all challenge ourselves enough to be deeply honest about it, we realize how very important this facet is to what we experience along the way.

    People join people! We must be authentic in how we present ourselves and also know that people are joining us (or not joining us) because of how they are impacted by who we are and how we represent ourselves as a piece of the MLM success equation.

    What a great thought-provoker here, Viola. Well done on the checklist!

      Hi, Cat,

      You are right. Honesty about OURSELVES is crucial for our success. As soon as we take 100% responsibility of our ACTIONS, we are already on the Success Path.

      People joining people is not a ‘secret’ any more. We ourselves are THE IMPORTANT piece of the ‘MLM Success equation’.

      Thank you for sharing your insights. I much appreciate you spacer
