Get Off To A Fast Start

Copyright © Rich Hazlett

After attending many events and listening to hours of training by my mentor, Denson Taylor, one of the things that he says consistently sticks out in mind,"It's the start that stops most people in this business."

The following information will help to ensure that you don't let your start stop you:

1. Don't suffer from analysis paralysis. In the beginning, spend a small amount of time learning the basics of your business, and the majority of your time doing business building activities. It's kind of like a TV-you don't have to know exactly how it works in order to enjoy it.

2. Take massive action in the beginning. Think of your business like a boulder you are pushing up a hill. At first your hard work may not seem like it is paying any dividends. Eventually, after you go over the top of the hill, that boulder will become a runaway object that you couldn't stop even if you wanted to.

3. Take personal responsibility for your actions. Remember, your opportunity is a business. You are the boss. Don't let yourself get into the habit of putting off your necessary business building activities because you are waiting on someone else to take action. A lot of people build a long "blame list" for why they aren't achieving the success they want. Don't fall prey to this mentality. You don't have to wait for your company to change their policy or your sponsor to return your call to take action. Your list should only include one name-you.

4. When you have the first taste of success, step on the gas pedal and GO! In sales, the best time to make a sales call is immediately after you have made a sale. The same principle is true in network marketing. The best time to talk to someone about your business is immediately after you have had a taste of success. Your genuine enthusiasm and excitement will be obvious to your prospect.

5. Have fun building your business! Network Marketing is all about creating a dream lifestyle for you and your family. Enjoy each step along the way. Remember, building your business is like a marathon, not a sprint.
