Thanks to Network Marketing My Daughter and I Get to Take Exotic Vacations

If you want to start pursing your passion and not a paycheck, learn how to free your mind and grow your network marketing business.

One of the things I love about the Network Marketing profession is that it allows me to meet so many wonderful people from all walks of life.  However, I am often sadden by the number of people who once like me are selling themselves short of having financial and time freedom because of fear and false perceptions.  In this blog post, I share four mind freeing activities, that will help you grow your network marketing business.

1. Don’t Turn an Excuse into an Identity
We need to be careful of how we identify and label ourselves, for example, people often say to me “I can’t get involved in Network Marketing because I am not a salesperson” or “I don’t know a lot of people” or “I’m not good at presenting in front of people.” Usually we label or identity ourselves based on past experiences or insecurities. Many people are being controlled and held back from living up to their full potential because they have turned an excuse into an identity.

You can learn the skills needed to be a good salesperson, you can always meet more people and you can learn the skills needed to become a good presenter. All you need to do is say, “I have to decide how I want to be now going forward” and then take action.

2. Face your Fears   
Courage is not the absence of fear. If you were completely fearless, you’d be dead. People who take action to achieve their dreams are usually scared to the core – they just force themselves to take action. Some of the most successful Network Marketers are not college educated nor did they start off with a career in sales. Many didn’t even have business experience; they just made the choice to face their fears and took action to build a successful Network Marketing Business.

Taking action, even though you’re afraid, is how you become courageous — because courage, like fear, is a habit. The more you do it; you develop a habit of stepping up and taking action which will move you in the direction of achieving your goals.

3. Write Your List
Everyone has stages in their life when they have been courageous. It could be in a relationship or in a job. Write down a list of these moments, times when you acted braver than you thought you could. Some of these you may take for granted while others may surprise you. But once you look at them all together, there’s always a pattern.

I was once scared to death of public speaking. The day before I knew I had to speak in front of a group of people – I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep and I would have butterflies in my stomach. The first few times I spoke in front of a group, I was terrible but the more I did it and faced my fears the better I got and the anxiety went away.

There may have been a time when you were scared to death, but you got up and faced the situation. Making this list will help you realize, what motivates you and that you can be courageous again whenever you need to. Maybe you are afraid of rejection and this fear is preventing you from talking to people about your Network Marketing business.  Remembering the times in life when you faced your fears head on will help you overcome your fear of rejection.

4. Learn How to Stretch
If you want to live a life that’s courageous, you’ve got to stretch. To stretch means when you feel like you can’t do something, you inner voice says “I must do this!”  Every time you say, “I can’t do it,” immediately say, “I must do it.” If you find yourself saying I can’t do something, but you know in your heart of hearts that if you do it you’re going to grow, you’re going to be a better person, it’s going to contribute to your family or to something that matters, and you keep saying I can’t do it, there is no question —you must do it.

If you have a Network Marketing business you may be frightened of talking on the phone so learning how to stretch could mean you pick up the phone and start calling potential prospects or you decide to get in front of the room at the next business meeting. I once heard someone say, “If you want safety, go to prison. If you want a fulfilled life, you’ve got to step up.” Learn to step out of your comfort zone and stop playing it safe.
