Here’s a network marketing tip that will not only keep you on track but help you choose  your next step towards the success you want.

Put simply the tip is this: treat becoming successful in your business as a journey. Furthermore, commit to the journey, never give up and from time to time assess where you are so you know what your next step should be.

It’s a bit like taking a road trip from one destination to another.  Every now and then you must stop to assess how far you have traveled, what distance remains and whether you are still on the right road. By doing this you ensure that you get to where you want to be. The same is true for your network marketing journey but how do you know what to look  for when making this assessment?

Recently I came across a teaching by Paul Martinelli, president of Life Success Consulting in which he speaks about using seven levels of awareness to understand where we are in relation to our goals. He suggests our results are a direct reflection of which level we are at. When we know where we are, we know what we need to do to reach the next level and ultimately move ourselves forward until we reach our desired outcome.  While he wasn’t speaking specifically about our industry, his levels form the perfect framework for the journey we find ourselves on so I have used this information and applied it below.

As you read through the following mini descriptions, be totally honest  about where you see yourself and then do what you need to do to move yourself on:

Level 1: Animal

This does not apply because you would not even think about having a business at this level.

Level 2: Mental:

You have a business because others have a business. You have no real understanding of what a business can do for you. You simply have one because you want to fit in, not because it’s what you really want. Your action will be dependent on following the crowd so you will never develop into the leader required. If this is you, go and do something else.

Level 3: Aspiration:

You have a conscious desire to be, do and have more and you believe that a business could provide this for you. However, you don’t take action because you are trapped in fear and you are concerned about what others will say if you fail. You are more in love with the idea of a business than actually taking the action required for success.  If this describes you then you will not be successful because you will never take enough action.  Either go and do something else or overcome your fears and shortcomings through personal development.

Level 4: Individual Expression:

You understand and believe you have the potential to change your life through your business. You are enthusiastic and willing to take action initially and you do.  This is often the true entry point for starting a business. If this describes you, continue taking action by learning how to market your business and how to become a strong person.

Level 5: Discipline:

You will come to be at this level by default if you take enough action at the previous level. As you do so you will be met with obstacles, challenges and failure. This happens very quickly and is usually where people quit.  To survive this you need to find the strength to  follow through with your plans by staying focused regardless of the problems and by staying true to what you want. This is the most challenging level because you need to have enough self belief  that you can achieve what you want before you have had any results. If this describes you then it’s time to seriously become the person you must become  to overcome your challenges. There is only one way – personal development.

Level 6: Experience:

You build up experience as a result of the feedback you get from taking action over time. The only way to get to this level is though applying discipline at the previous level. If this is where you find yourself then you are already experiencing some success. Now apply your experience to your business to modify and fine tune your results so that you can grow your business consistently.

Level 7: Master:

You are aware of your truest potential and you know what you are capable of. You are not controlled by any external factors and even if your business is taken away, you would be able to rebuild it again from scratch in no time at all. There is nothing more for you to do other than continue as you are.

Together with personal development you must also acquire the necessary marketing knowledge and skills. This is what will give you the practical tools to manage your business towards the success you desire. If you want to know how to access one of the  top business and personal development programs for entrepreneurs, as well as learn about a marketing system that will have leads flocking to work with you and teach you how you can  generate income even if your leads don’t join you in business then fill your details in on the form on the top right hand side of this page and I’ll teach you how you can do this.
