Most of the training and consulting I've done with new Network Marketers has lead me to one conclusion. No one has a plan. Going at it this way is a recipe for disaster and the unfortunate reason more that 95% on Network Marketers are still failing miserably today.
The importance of having a plan can not be overemphasized. Many don't have a plan because they go into the business believing that their upline or sponsor will give them the direction they need to be successful. Others simply have no idea that a real business and marketing plan is needed to have success.
I've asked my trainees from time to time to show me their plan and I often hear that it's in their head. They have it memorized to some degree and that's what they build their businesses from, memory. If I had to rely on my memory I wold have been out of business a years ago. It's no wonder they are failing and can't seem to get any traction.
This may seem a little negative but it is true and the truth isn't always so pretty. It's only when we realize the gravity of where we are can we make the changes we need.
Let's look at a sports analogy for a minute. Let's just say a professional baseball team never wrote down their plays and practiced them consistently. They had talent or "potential" but they would never commit to practicing any set plays. What might their season look like?
Probably wouldn't be too strong a season right? Network Marketing is the exact same way and there are too many losing seasons to count when it comes to our industry.
Now I do realize that many Network Marketing companies have training and support to some degree, however, significant planning is really missing in most companies I've seen over the years. Many get skills that are never implemented because they were never added to the "Playbook". Most bounce from tactic to technique never really gaining any real momentum.
We all know from history that this approach never works in anything you do. It's like throwing something against a wall and hoping it sticks.
Here is what you need to do first to make sure you don't miss this critical step in your success. Grab a piece of paper and take the time to write or type up the things you want to accomplish and break it down in increments of one year, six months, three months and one month. Then write down the steps you will have to take daily to reach those goals. This is the only way you will actually stay the course and have long term success.
There are many other practicals that I go over in detail on my site that you may want to take a look at. This information could make the difference between success and failure as I know it has for me. - 16928
