6 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE JOINING THE NETWORK MARKETING INDUSTRY.




6 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE JOINING THE NETWORK MARKETING INDUSTRY.



These 6 things are not the only things I wish I knew before joining the network marketing industry, there are many of them but these 6 things are related to me. 


My network marketing journey has been a great and successful adventure.


Network Marketing Industry has not only been a source of income for me but it's been a vehicle for living a good life.


I can boldly say that I'm a better person now than I was before joining the industry.


I now treat people well and with much empathy. I have more good qualities now than before. 

All these come as a result of participating in the network marketing industry.

I don't know how my life would have been without this industry.

No, I haven't arrived yet... I'm still a work in progress but looking back at where I was some years ago I know for sure that it's a long throw.


Today's article is about a few things I wish I knew before joining this industry. If I had known them maybe I might have been far ahead than where I am today... 


Nevertheless, I'm still grateful that I am where I am now. 

If you are new to this industry, understanding these ideas will Position you for faster success.

Let's proceed...



#1) KNOW YOUR NETWORK MARKETING STRENGTH:


If you have been reading my articles regularly you may have read severally about networking strengths.


I have written several articles on it and I have recorded a paid training on how to identify your network marketing strength.


One reason why I like talking about network marketing strength is that it prevented me from making a great start during my early days in the network marketing profession.


I didn't know my network marketing strength and because of this, I struggled miserably during the first 8 months in the profession.


If I had known that network marketing strength is key to succeeding in this industry I wouldn't have wasted 8 months operating on my area of weakness.


Every successful networker has consciously or unconsciously discovered their Network Marketing strength and relied on it.

You won't excel in this industry if you are not operating in your area of network marketing strength. 

Some networkers plug into their strength from the start while Most networkers unconsciously stumble on theirs. 

Irrespective of where you belong, you must understand that to succeed in this industry you must discover your network marketing strength.



#2) YOU ARE LIKELY TO DO IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I didn't know that I was about to join a lifetime profession. 

This is the truth that many network marketing professionals will not tell you. 

The more you understand Network Marketing Industry, the more difficult it is to leave. 

The industry is fascinating. It exposes you to a different world of endless possibilities.


 It doesn't only open your eyes but it also opens your mind to your unlimited potential.

Many network marketing professionals have been professionals in other fields but after getting involved in the network marketing business they couldn't leave again.

If I had known before joining this industry that I was joining a lifetime profession, I would have taken it as such from day one and I believe it would have made a difference.


#3) ONLY PROFESSIONALS EARN RESIDUAL MONEY

One good thing about this industry is that it's so forgiving, unlike other professions you will have to gain all the required knowledge before earning a dime. 

In a network marketing business, you can start earning money from day one even without knowing anything about the industry.

You can even be earning some money while learning about the profession.


But here's the truth.

If you want to keep on earning consistently, you must decide to become a professional.


If you are new, you may hear and see leaders earning residual income and may think that you will equally earn as an amateur but that isn't true. 

To earn residual income here you must become a professional.


Becoming a professional in the network marketing Industry is the same as other professions.


You must be willing to read everything you can about the industry, you must be willing to improve your mindset and skillset. 

You must be willing to be a student of the profession.


If I had known this from day one of joining this industry, I wouldn't have wasted my time as an amateur for years I would have moved straight to doing what professionals were doing.


#4) IT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE TIME TO SUCCEED:

A wise man once said that you can't get a newborn baby in a month by impregnating 9 women. 


This simply means that some things take time.


Irrespective of how smart, intelligent or wise you are, there are some things that you will not just Understand during your first year in the network marketing industry.


Don't be in a hurry to make money stay calm and collected. Know that anything of value takes time.

Once you understand that every business takes time to grow, you won't be in a hurry to earn millions within a few months in your network marketing business.

During my early days, I was emotionally attached to earning money as fast as possible and I ignored some of the business ethics I knew.


You could say I was needy. 

Any time I saw a Prospect it was as if I was seeing my referral Commission.


Zig Ziglar once said that if you do not think you deserve what you want, you will automatically do things that will prevent you from getting it.

Since I was so attached to the benefits, I unconsciously sabotage the whole process.


Don't be in a hurry to get the money. 

Relax and Understand that it will come provided you are committed to your business.



#5) IT'S MORE OF THE MINDSET THAN SKILLSET/ STRATEGIES: 

Network Marketing business is more of the mindset than the skillset.  

Many networkers think that they need more skills for them to succeed in their business but here's the truth... you don't.

You only need a few skills. 

Skills are great but the mindset is the 80% determining factor.

You already have all that it takes to recruit people into your team. 

You don't need more skills to do it.

I'm saying this based on experience.


Let me tell you a short story about my journey.

During my second year in this industry after I left my first Company, I joined another company, and with just my WhatsApp group, I was able to recruit 22 People within a week. 

This was even before I understood anything about blogging and Facebook Marketing.


Looking back now I'll say it was the mindset I had. It wasn't the skill. 


I didn't do anything more exceptional than what other people were doing. 

The only thing I did was to be committed to chatting with Prospects every day.

Mindset is the most determining factor, Skills are only to complement your motivation and you don't need much of them.

If you think that one more skillful training is all you need to skyrocket your business then you have to perish such thought because it isn't what you need. You need mostly the motivation to succeed.

Once the motivation is there, you will use any available skill at your disposal to succeed.

That was what happened to me when I recruited 22 People into my team within a week by just chatting with Prospects on WhatsApp.

That was the only skill I had but because I had a success mindset, I still obtained my results.

Irrespective of your skills; if you don't have the proper mindset, your great skills will be buried under your wrong mindset.



#6) IT'S EQUALLY A BUSINESS

During my early days in this industry, I did not see it as a business. 

I saw it as a charity organization... I believe it was based on how the business was presented to me that first time.

We were always informed during the seminar that we were lucky to be in that company because the founder was one of the richest people in his country and he started the company to help people like us.


While these types of information may be understood by business-minded people to be normal copies for a presentation, new Prospects are likely to take such information literally.

I took it literally which made me think that the company will do everything for me since they were there to help us.


I wasn't willing to purchase flyers for my business promotion.

I was waiting for the company to dash us personal development books.

I waited for the company to transport us to the company's yearly event.

I wasn't willing to sacrifice anything because I didn't see it as my business.


Here's the reality...


Your network marketing business is a business just like every other business. 

You will need to bring money from other sources and invest in it.

Also, you must understand that your Registration fee alone won't build your business. 

You will invest more in buying other materials like shirts, books, opening a seminar center, transportation, etc.

When you understand all these things from the start, it Positions you properly for success. 



These are some of the things I wish I knew before joining the network marketing profession. 


If I had known them beforehand, I believe my success might have been faster. 

Nevertheless, I'm still grateful that I learned all these things through personal experiences and observation. 

I will never forget them.
