Network marketing is unique in the business world in that it is the only business where your true success is visible to everyone around you. People in your downline know how many other people you have in your organization, and can guess, based on company privileges and sales volume awards, what kind of income you have. Those in your upline, are of course, knowledgeable of your status also.
If you try to recruit prospects by inflating your income, you will be found out. If you try to become something you are not, such as a sophisticated playboy, eventually you will be humiliated. Why risk it? Why go through the hassle? Be yourself. That is where your power is.
Be true to yourself, and grow through integrity, notThe true measure of success is doing and being what you want. Accept no imitations. We all have habits and business practices that could use revision and/or improvement, and that is where training from your sponsor and others above you is helpful. But, don’t change your values to fit the mold of someone in your upline.
Values are what make you an individual. They’re why your spouse stands beside you, and what you children look up to. Don’t compromise yourself for business. Be true to yourself, and succeed with your character and family intact.
What are your hobbies?
What do you enjoy doing more than anything else?
Is there a way to focus your business activities in the direction of your interests? For example, a neighbor of mine enjoys bodybuilding and spends a lot of time in the gym. What would be an ideal product for him to get involved with? Another neighbor reminds me early every morning that he enjoys big and loud motorcycles. Are their companies that sell products or services that match his interest in motorcycles? Is there a product or service sold through network marketing that fits well with your passion?
It is easier to succeed when you do the things you love. Trying to build a business in an industry you have zero passion for is like swimming against the current of a raging river. It may be theoretically possible, but the odds are against you.
What types of products or industries do you despise? Please realize that trying to make money in these fields may be difficult for you. Stick with what you love, and building this business will never seem like work.
