Patience in Network Marketing

Author Todd Falcone | 26.04.2007 | Category Sponsoring Tips

I’ve been thinking lately about some of the other elements that separate big producers in this business from those that become statistics or simply produce nothing.

Obviously it takes consistent daily actions to create production. You’ve all heard me say that the only thing that really matters is prospecting. If you are consistently talking to new people every day about your business, you will produce results.

However, it happens at different paces for different individuals. And…if it isn’t happening as fast as you ‘thought’ it would or would like it to, then you may get frustrated, discouraged, think the business doesn’t work, think that you may not be right for the business, or even quit.

You have to understand something. To some extent, you are pre-programmed from birth to fail in network marketing. Yes…you heard me correctly. You see, over time we have learned to expect things to happen rather quickly. Microwave ovens, fast food, and lotteries create instant, or at least potentially instant gratification. The way we are programmed to earn wages is the same way. We work two-weeks, we get a check.

In network marketing, it simply doesn’t happen that way. We are fighting are instinctual programming from the moment we sign an application.

Learn to understand the Virtues of Patience. Patience is a good quality of human conduct and of moral excellence for a reason. Those who can exercise patience are generally rewarded handsomely.

Tips on Patience:

1. Don’t compare the speed of your success with others.

2. Understand (clearly) that success takes TIME.

3. Get in your mind that this is a business, not a job. It takes time to DEVELOP a business. Think about your employer. Did his or her business instantly appear as a success story, or did it take time? You see…if you are an employee in an EXISTING business, you didn’t see nor experience the time, commitment and patience it took to develop it. What you do see is your weekly check…aka instant gratification.

4. If it isn’t happening for you quickly enough, take it one or these two ways. Either fight your programming and stick in the game or be accepting in the reality that it takes time to develop a substantial business.

Over fourteen years ago I started building my first network marketing business. The first 18 months I produced almost nothing. For some unknown reason to me at the time, I stayed in the game. My patience has served me well…and I hope your does too!

A Man and His Tools

Author Todd Falcone | 19.04.2007 | Category Sponsoring Tips

I just bought a new piece of property today on the Cowlitz River…one of the best steelheading and salmon fishing rivers in the state.

So…I had to go out and buy myself a chainsaw and a gas weed whacker to get some trees out of my way and make room for my “trailer home.” I never thought I’d have a trailer, but since that’s all I can put on this property, it’ll have to do. This is what you call 5 Star camping.

While I was playing with my new tool (the chainsaw), I got to thinking…the only way for me to cut down my trees is to:

1. Have the right tool, and…
2. Make sure I keep it sharp.

The same thing goes for us in network marketing. You’ve got to use the tools that are available to you. They are there for a reason. So…if your company or upline leadership is providing you useful tools, USE THEM.

And secondly, be sure to keep on sharpening your skills. You can’t cut through a tree with a dull saw. And…you certainly can’t expect to master the game of network marketing if you don’t constantly refine your skills…aka “sharpening your saw.”

How Do I Sponsor Up?

Last year, I went to a Todd Falcone Sandal Camp and learned a lot about his Insider Secrets To Recruiting Professionals. Todd’s candid, no-hype training is one of the biggest reasons why I decided to come to work with him, but even before I came to work with Todd, I firmly believed that Todd’s program for recruiting professionals was the best kept secret in Network Marketing.

How many times have you heard people say, “sponsor up”, meaning sponsor up the socio-economic ladder or sponsor people at or above your current financial status?

The advice is really good, but there is a big problem. How and where do you find these people?

Good news. Todd Falcone created a program that allows you to recruit professionals, many of whom already have the skills it takes to build a profitable business in the Network Marketing industry. If you are ready to fill your pipeline with incredible potential business partners, check out Todd’s Insider Secrets to Recruiting Professionals. The program comes with 8 CDs and a downloadable workbook.
