As a network marketer, an IT trainer and an outdoor events organizer, I have to ensure that I’m able to manage the time well to execute all the tasks accordingly. Being able to manage your time is not enough. You need to have the passion. You must love what you are doing. If you want to succeed in whatever you do, you must know the art of self-motivation.

On my previous blog, I shared with you an article written by the founder of the Leaders Club, Andre Vatke on the importance of motivation if you are a network marketer. In the article, he stated the reasons to be self-motivated if you want to succeed in the industry.

How do you motivate yourself? It may sound difficult, but actually if you know how to do it, motivating yourself towards success, is achievable. It may easier said than done. But, deep in my heart I know that you can do it.

Needs and confidence equalled actions and motivation. Motivation comes from many angles. As a network marketer, the system provides you with the positive environment, teaching you all the know-how, giving you all the tools you need to succeed in the business. However, the most important aspect in keeping you focus in the business is none other than your own self-motivation in believing that you can succeed in the business.

How you keep yourself motivated will determine how positive and serious you are in managing your business franchise. One of the method to keep you self-motivated is to have daily habits or tasks that will keep you focus and positively charged. I called this the daily habits of a Network Marketer.

Listen to tapes related to the industry. Read books to increase your knowledge and if you have to opportunity to built a mini library, then do it. Try to attend all meetings organized by the system and your direct selling company. You must use all your products that you are marketing.  This will give you the confident to share with others by knowing the characteristics of the products. Have regular contacts with your working uplines. Try to be a good student yourself. Don’t forget to build your organization by doing some retailing of the products and share with others the business ooportunity.

If you continue to do this very often, I bet that you will be motivated yourself. You strengthen the believe, you will not be easily distracted by things not concern to your business, and you will definitely put aside all rejections and focussing on taking actions to succeed.

There are other methods available but the above is one of the core that must be done so that your desire won’t be ‘killed’ by the negative surroundings.

An article worth sharing by Andre Vatke, Founder of the Leaders Club….

I’m probably stating the obvious when I say that you can’t succeed in business without motivation.

Still, one popular network marketing guru says that’s a lie – you are already motivated enough – so you don’t need to think about motivation. The statistics don’t back that up.

Over 80% of the people involved in network marketing today don’t EVER promote their business. They don’t talk to a single prospect, place a single ad or take even the smallest step beyond joining their company.

Are we to assume these people are motivated?

Motivation by definition is all about the inner strivings of individuals that direct behavior. It’s our unsatisfied desires that create within us the motivation to act with purposeful behavior to achieve our goal.

Lack of action is evidence of a lack of motivation. Period.

The key to network marketing success lies not only in our own motivation but also in our ability to motivate others.

Maybe that’s what’s missing from the popular training formula – the focus beyond ‘why’ something isn’t working and on to ‘how’ we can make it work.

Lee Iacocca said, “Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.”

Network marketing is a business that hinges on duplication. And no matter what your own level of success and action is, it will duplicate through your organization. Your activity (and attitude) will duplicate into an active downline. Your inactivity (and attitude) will duplicate into an inactive downline.

One thing to remember is that duplication is never exact. Once in a while you will find someone who will outshine your level of action, but this is rare. Generally your downline organization will do less than you do. This means that if you want to increase the average level of action, you must increase your own level of action even more.

If you’re trying to get your downline into action, start by looking at the motivation cycle:

First: Are you motivated to build this business and achieve your goals? If you are having trouble getting into action it’s probably not actually due to external influences like lack of time, health issues or financial struggles. You might think that it is but it’s not. After all, if you need an excuse not to make a phone call, listen to a training session or build your skills, you will always find one.

Rather than make excuses about your inactivity, look for ways to motivate yourself to greater action. Discover a reason that will make you do what you don’t want to do right now. Look for ways to stop procrastinating. Also look at what may happen if you do not take action today. If you’re happy with what your life will look like in three years, chances are you’ll continue to procrastinate and make excuses.

Second: Once you have yourself motivated it’s time to start motivating your downline. Notice that I said ‘after’ – you cannot motive people if you are not motivated!

Help downline find a reason in their own life that’s big enough to get them into action. This could be as simple as a pain they have right now they don’t want. Knowing the reason they joined your business is your number one tool in communicating with them. Revisit it often.

Third: Once your downline members have learned how to motivate themselves, teach them how to motivate their own people.

Becoming motivationally fit is much like becoming physically fit. Start with 10 to 15 minutes of positive thought a day. Listen or read something that is uplifting and makes you feel good about yourself and your future. The point isn’t to become fit overnight, but to build a habit and make a lifestyle change. Over time you’ll find your outlook becoming increasingly more positive. The result will be that you not only feel in charge of your own future, but you’ll also have the power to actually take charge.

Isn’t this a good article?

In network marketing, the biggest wealth is generated through our network of people’s organization. That’s why you need to be able to lead and manage your team in order to achieve your desired goals. You must know the business concept and do it fast. Remember, speed is crucial in the industry. Though attaining the highest pin title is marvelous, but if you cannot lead your organization, it will be hard as it defeats the purpose of leveraging people in multi-level marketing. You might as well concentrate in selling products rather than developing your organization.

Having a solid and effective network marketing system is good, but the groundwork must be well-planned and easily executed. You need to know how to maximize your energy and potential. In other words, it is important to have the ‘force’ or believe to strive to the next level, taking it one at a time, in a win-win situation.

A positive attitude is always sought in any businesses, but, when you are a network marketer, your attitude should not be less than 99% preferably, and only 1% skill. A must-win attitude should always be ‘planted’ in you as you are dealing in the people’s business. Do you think it’s easy to manage people? You should know better. It’s very hard to please everyone, but it’s easy to hurt or make them happy. People have feelings and you are not able to know what’s going to happen next and you can’t read their mind – unless you are a special breed of people who claims to know what’s going to happen next. The fact is you cannot control people, you can only give hope, care and show them the opportunity to lead a better life.

Your working uplines are also part of the system. You can seek their help as long as it is related to the business. They will give you all the support you need and will be ever-ready to help you. However, they are still human. They have feelings and they too have to succeed in life. Your sponsor will only help you if they are into the business. Remember, your working uplines can be your sponsor, but your direct sponsor, may not be your working uplines.

You need to have a clear business plan. It should works hand-in-hand with the system. There are many methods on how to make your plan moving forwards. Make full use of the system tools; company’s information, R&D, support, products and tools to grow; create friendly competition within your organization; have an “illusionist enemy” to inspire you to move forward. You only have to work hard once, and enjoy the fruits later.

Focus and do it! Success is within your reach, either you want to do it fast or otherwise. Do not retreat! Challenge yourself to a greater height! If you really want it, you will achieve it!
