Believe! Become bullet proof and promote the successes
This is the 4th in a series of postings, and accompanying videos, taken from the Chris Matthews article in the November 7, 2011 edition of Time Magazine. The article went on to explain “Five Things JFK Could Teach Obama” and I have loosely interpreted how those “Five Things” could apply to the direct marketing industry.
As Kennedy said in a speech at American University in June 1963, “Our problems are man-made and therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. …” it was this belief in the capacity of mankind that John Kennedy sold and the American people bought. Lo and behold it worked. America strove forward in the sixties like no other nation before. People were put on the moon, civil rights for all became the norm. There was a belief that anything was possible.
In network marketing you can be as big as you want it all depends on your belief level. To paraphrase Henry Ford, If you believe you can, you can, if you believe you can’t, you can’t. So many do not make it because they don’t have the right belief level. It is called attitude, with it you can conquer your greatest fears and stand on top of your company/industry.
There are various ways to get your belief to the right level needed for success in this industry. Results, Results, Results. Major production will give you results putting money in your pocket. Boy can you.get an attitude when a regular giant-sized cheque/check is coming into your mailbox every week. Maybe one out of a thousand can get these results from the giddy-up due to a natural inherent ability to influence theirs. Sadly for the rest of us it will take a set of skills we have to learn and hone as Tom “Big Al” Schreiter will happily inform us. The good news is that there are no shortage of teachers. Obviously this blog is a testament to that last snippet of information.
Along with skills you want to work on your personal development. In no other industry is this a greater asset than in direct marketing. Read the books, watch the DVDs, attend the seminars and through osmosis you will develop a belief level sending your business through the roof. A bonus to all this personal development is that it spills over into the rest of your life making you a better husband, wife, son, daughter, friend and neighbour. Sweet.
Skills and personal development aside the biggest builder of belief is events. The bigger the event the bigger the belief level will grow. They make you bullet proof and no naysaying “I-have-an-uncle-who-went-to-jail-for-one-of-those-things” crumpet will deter you from your vision. For instance this weekend I am off to San Diego for a 20k plus convention with my primary company. I”ll come out the other side with a renewed belief and a fired-up attitude. So if you are in a company get out to the events whether they are the local weekly Business Opportunity Meetings (BOM), a regional or national event. If you are not in a company, then hey why not join mine. Put one good comment why not in the box below.
So if you don’t have belief go get it.
