Goal Setting: The Proactive Approach to Network Marketing

I'm gonna talk about goal setting- deciding what you want and beginning the process of getting it. As some would believe in mystery and magic of networking, I do too- but also I am a firm believer in taking a proactive approach in all areas of life. In truth, goal setting is every bit as valid in your personal life as in business dealings.

Many have experienced network marketing and ended in failure, or perhaps just in disappointment. And why did this happen? More than likely it was because they set out blindly, with no idea of what they truly wanted and needed. They didn't have goals; they just let things happen.

IT'S YOUR LIFE

You might not have thought about it, but you have already begun the process of setting goals.After all, you decided you want to refer people, right? That, in and of itself, is a goal. What have you done to achieve this goal? Well,  you went to my blog , that's a nice first step. You're already on your way to becoming a networker.

In your decision to become a networker, what you have really decided to do is to re-create yourself, which is not nearly as daunting as it may sound at first. After all, I'm not talking about turning yourself into something you're not. That would only be destructive, it would be impossible. Instead, I am talking about becoming aware of and refining your dreams about yourself, and through a focused, proactive effort, bringing those dreams to life.

Nobody else can do it for you, and it is going to take some effort on your part. The result, however, wil be well worth it. You can and will transform yourself into the great networker you can be, and the people around you will most certainly idolize you. To paraphrase a line from a book I've read: "If you build it, they will come"

MAYBE They're Born with It... But Probably Not

If you have attended some business orientations, the people talking in front just seem to be naturally persuasive, funny and alluring- just the right type of people in this business. You wouldn't believe that many people with different background have become millionaires regardless of social or financial status. The person who was talking in front, if you ask him did not have those skills when he/she first started. He/She was trained, usually through trial and error and went through all the pains of a networker would have.

Let me give you an example of a very successful networker:

The point is that things that make them so alluring and persuasive are virtually all things that they have learned learned, as opposed to naturally inborn qualities.

And Now, Back to Reality: What About You?

The people who were so phenomenally rich in networking started off as ordinary people. Yet, by acquiring skills and knowledge, which they applied to their lives, they transformed themselves into objects of NEAR WORSHIP.

It isn't stretching the truth at all to tell you that YOU, too are capable of transforming into a great networker. It takes some work, and it definitely takes a real commitment, but you can do it. You simple have to...

>Determine what you have to work with
>Compare what you are with what you would like to be
