I have been doing multi level marketing off and on for over 15 years. About 8 months ago I got back in the business. I spent several months trying to grow my business the way that my upline taught me but just was not very successful with it. Well I guess that is an understatement. I never signed up a single person. I then discovered an online marketing system that really changed my whole way of thinking. Now the marketing system is great but that is not what I want to talk about. What I did not anticipate was that my biggest obstacle to success was my own mindset.
Part of this marketing system is education and teamwork. In that teamwork and training I came to realize that I was my own worst enemy. As I became more educated about marketing and the psychology of marketing, the psychology of asking and the art of closing, I realized that I was sabotaging my own work. Wow what a shocker that was to learn. Well as I have changed the way I think, there is one key thing I learned that I felt others could learn from so they did not go through the same struggles I have.
Negative thinking will only get you no’s and attract negative thinking people. Positive thinking will get you what you focus on and attract positive people. I have read so many books on this and listened to so many CD’s that it began to soak into my head what the power of positive thinking was all about. I am not a psychologist that can tell you how all this works but what I can say that I finally got it. I finally realized what so many had been saying. What you don’t realize is how we have all been programmed for years by the educational system, through TV, radio and the news. We are a negative thinking society. You have to reprogram your mind from years of bad thinking. It is just not an easy task and for some may takes years to attain.
When I look back I am not sure why it took me thousands of dollars of coaching, books and CD’s to finally get it. I also will not tell you that I am always positive but I have made huge strides in changing my mindset which is changing my wallet each day. If you have a negative mindset you are most likely only holding yourself back. Don’t do that to yourself. Make up your mind right now that you will change.
If this is you then let me recommend a few things that may get you started down the right path. A book by Echart Tolle called “The Power of Now”. A book by Bruce Lipton called “The Biology of Belief”. I also highly recommend Jeffery Combs and Cedrick Harris both of whom I hired as coaches in my walk to understanding this about myself.
Please let me know what you think about this content. I welcome all comments. I hope that it helps you to be able to attain what you want out of your business.
