Empowering Lifestyle

As I continue on my Network Marketing Education journey, there are times it feels very, very much like a roller coaster ride.

I have moments where I feel the total rush and thrill of the ride and am loving every moment of it. Then there are the times when I ask myself “What the heck am I doing?”

What helps to keep my network marketing education journey away from the extreme highs and extreme lows is a method I have learned from reading the book The Slight Edge: Secret to a Successful Life. The Slight Edge is a simple philosophy that believes success comes from doing small activities EVERYDAY that move you toward growth in your business.

As a Network Marketing Professional, your job description is to get people to make a decision. A decision to either join you as a business partner or buy your product. I personally only work with the volunteers. So NO is a decision. Know that has also helped me to say off the roller coaster.

I personally have found that there are 2 main reasons why I end up on the roller coaster.

1. I tie emotions to the outcome – remembering that NO is a decision really, really helps me with not tie my emotions to the outcome.
2. I have free will – I can either do the activities I know are working for others, or I can not do the activities.

Here are ways that have helped keep me off the roller coaster and in action:

1. Having a clear written plan of what 3 – 5 activities I want to do each day
2. Following the proven system that others have used, not reinventing my own
3. Using the “reverse calendar” and blocking off specific times in my day to work my home business
4. Giving myself credit for what I have done, not beating myself up for what I have not done
5. Finding a “tribe” that supports and encourages me

• The reverse calendar is a backwards schedule of the task ahead, broken down into manageable little steps, “units that you can see yourself accomplishing.

Reach out to others who have had success with what you are working on. Ask questions, compare what you have done to what they are going. Maybe you just need to change one little thing.

Remember, there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. You will find that strength to get back up. Here is a video that might help you with this:  Nick Vujicic – (motivational speaker)
