A Network Marketer's Dream

Of course, we all want to be successful at our life's goals and achievements in general. One of the biggest goals people strive for, is in the area of career and income. We desire to see positive progression when it means the quality of life can be better. The truth is that not every one involved in Direct Marketing and Network Marketing is successful.

First, I think it's important to define the word successful. Well, in the world of Network Marketing, the ultimate reward is to be able to have an income that replaces the income of that “day to day” mundane job working for someone else. Imagine never having to go to work for someone else again, just to make them rich, while you balance and budget from paycheck to paycheck. Oh what bliss!

So let's consider those Network Marketers who are struggling to be financially free.

There are several reasons why there is a struggle:

1) Lack of up-line support

2) Lack of training to know where to start, feel uncomfortable getting started

3) Lack of follow up with leads

4) Lack of social activity to create leads

5) Lack of “quality” time to implement biz practices.

6) Obstacles that make focus on the business difficult

7) Poor company marketing resources

8) There is no strong reason that motivates you to succeed

I'm sure that if you are one of those Network Marketers that are struggling to succeed then you might have more reasons to add to this list. You simply need to to ask yourself , “Are these circumstances out of my control?”

If you can find an answer to resolve your problem, either by consulting, or rather “confessing” to your up-line, what your obstacle or weakness is, then you can start to move forward.

From there, ask your up-line to support you and help you find innovative ways around and through your difficulties. Maybe you just need some coaching and maybe it's more than that.

However, if your up-line in the company that is already successful, can't find time to truly listen because they are always in a hurry for the next call or just between appointments, then find someone else in the company who is willing to listen and support you. Find a person in your up-line who is an example of where you would like to see yourself in the next 6 months or in a year from now.

And finally.... Maybe you\re that guy in the up-line that is frustrated with your down-line. Perhaps you feel that they don't seem to be pulling their weight or they are missing out on such a great opportunity or perhaps they're not doing their part to build their business. Then it's time to give them a pep talk and really get to the underlying problem as to why they are so held back from succeeding.

The answer might be simple. Your experience probably enables you with the power to help them overcome it or change their circumstances so that they can press forward. What seems like a little effort for you, might be too much for someone else in their circumstances. Each individual is different.

So whether you're the “successful up-line”guy or the “struggling down-line” guy, the question is.... what's your next move?
