Network Marketing Success –
Motivators, Part 2
We will now discuss the positive motivating factors, and I am going to assume that you have read my previous article (‘Part 1′), which discusses the negative motivating factors. The positive factors ‘pull towards’, while the negative factors ‘repel’. If we can get them to act in the same direction, it’s an ideal situation!
Lou Tice, founder of the Pacific Institute, once told the story of how he had to help a world-class Kenyan athlete to overcome a physical problem. Although this guy was Olympic material, he often developed a physical pain so bad that he had to quit the race. After listening to the athlete’s story, Tice’s advice was to quit running altogether. You see, it transpired that the athlete could support his family with the proceeds from his wins, and that was his main motivator. According to Tice it was simply not a good enough motivation for such a lofty goal.
There is no such thing as a person who gets good at anything overnight. I think the media are guilty of creating the wrong impression here. They present an incorrect timeline by (inadvertently) showing the transition from loser to winner, from obscurity to stardom, in a few episodes on TV or within the duration of a single movie.
In the real world the ‘overnight success’ is usually preceded by years, even decades, of practice, hardships and disappointments. This applies equally well to marketers, musicians, artists and sports stars. So, on your way to becoming that marketing ’superhero’, you are going to meet with numerous distractions and obstacles. There will be days when you wonder if it’s worth all the effort, and you will want to quit on many occasions.
So it is only logical that your reasons for pursuing a specific course of action should be so good that they outweigh any opposing forces. To be really good at anything, be that athletics, painting, singing, or network marketing, you have to hang in there for as long as it takes to be successful. And for that you require an intense level of motivation, preferably of the positive kind! How do you acquire this?
The pieces of the puzzle will come together if you can get yourself to a position of ‘must’ have. You must have no option but to achieve that goal. And you create this situation by having enough magnificent ‘why’s. The better the ‘why’s you have, and the more they pull you in the same direction, the better. What I mean by magnificence is that the end result must really resonate within you at a gut level. It must be able evoke an intense emotional response. Sweaty skin. Increased pulse rate. Pupils dilated.
Now I cannot tell you what your motivators are; you will have to do a lot of soul-searching. Draw up a ‘wish list’, and order the items with the most desirable one at the top. Analyze the ones at the top. If they evoke that magic euphoric response, if you must achieve them whatever the cost, come hell or high water, despite all odds, you are on the right track. Only 9/10? Hmm – not so good.
I would like to offer a word of advice here. In this series of articles I am focusing on issues that pertain directly or indirectly to money. Money is VERY important. But so is health, friendship and peace of mind, for example. The bottom line is this: you cannot have anything if it is not important to you. So if someone tries to tell you money is not important, don’t believe him – he’s broke.
Network marketing success and the money associated with it is not the ultimate goal. It is some of the magnificent things you can do with that money. So when (not ‘if’) you become that marketing superstar, and you do break through the million-dollar-a-year ceiling – what will your life look like? Your lifestyle? The people that you hang out with? Your toys? Your appearance? The hospital in Africa you will be sponsoring? Now you need to become super-creative!
Join me in my next article where I’ll show you how you can program your subconscious mind to pursue your goals. And no, it’s not the boring goal setting nonsense.
