After many months of talking to new internet marketers and aspiring network marketing entrepreneurs I have come to one forgone conclusion, no one takes the time to make a plan. Imagine that, going into the battle of business with no plan of action and no firm commitments to speak of. If you start you home business, like the majority do, on a wing and a prayer I will guarantee you will find yourself a casualty like more than 95% who fail in home business today.
I cannot stress this point enough! The plan is the basic foundation for success and far too many are expecting their sponsor or someone else to work out the details and it never happens. Others never really give it much thought which I've found even more astonishing.
In many cases, I've asked individuals if they have a plan of action and they quickly respond, "Oh yeah, I've got a plan of action!" Then I ask them to produce it for me. I tell them that I'd like to take a look at it and more often than not they tell me that it's in their head. Well here is what I'll say to that, If your plan is in your head, then more than likely your success will be in your head too!
Now I know you may think this sounds harsh or maybe it's not "politically correct" , however, it's true and sometimes the truth hurts.
Think of it this way, let's say a football team went into a game with no set plays or strategy to take on their competition. They hadn't watched any footage of the other teams strengths or weaknesses and were just flying by the seat of their pants on every play. How do you think they would do during the season with that approach?
Probably wouldn't be too strong a season right? Network Marketing is the exact same way and there are too many losing seasons to count when it comes to our industry.
Now I do realize that many Network Marketing companies have training and support to some degree, however, significant planning is really missing in most companies I've seen over the years. Many get skills that are never implemented because they were never added to the "Playbook". Most bounce from tactic to technique never really gaining any real momentum.
The problem is, and history tells us, that this approach very rarely works!
Here is what you need to do first to make sure you don't miss this critical step in your success. Grab a piece of paper and take the time to write or type up the things you want to accomplish and break it down in increments of one year, six months, three months and one month. Then write down the steps you will have to take daily to reach those goals. This is the only way you will actually stay the course and have long term success.
There are many other practicals that I go over in detail on my site that you may want to take a look at. This information could make the difference between success and failure as I know it has for me. - 15359
