pink slippers sml Business Personal Development Can You Sell More Pink Fluffy Pig Slippers Than Me?What is the one overriding factor that will determine whether you sell more pink fluffy pig slippers than me? Is it being with the right MLM company or knowing how to market? Neither!

There is one truth I have come to know about network marketing without a doubt  and that is, it does not matter what business you’re in or what marketing methods you’re using, you WILL require what some refer to as the right mindset to be successful.

I don’t think the word, “mindset’ comes anywhere close to expressing what’s required. It’s more a case of  sheer mental toughness! Without this you will never make it through the challenges that are a necessary part of the journey to success.

Of course it would be in your best interests to have some mental toughness before you start in business but  chances are you will need to develop a whole lot more anyway. How do you do this? By undertaking to study personal development. Fortunately for me I’m  aligned with a primary income stream whose market is personal development so I’m able to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

But what do you do if you’re in a company that sells nutritional products, travel or anything else actually? It’s pretty simple, you must study personal development elsewhere. I might be daft but doesn’t this sound like a business double cost ? No I’m  not pitching my business to you, just trying to get you to think things through clearly.

The great thing about free enterprise is the word, FREE! If you want to sell pink fluffy pig slippers, all power to you and if you have the mental toughness required and know how to market, there’s every chance you could make a whole lot more money than me too.

Personal development is huge industry  of its own today. You could spend a fortune on your development in this field but what if you can’t afford to? Fortunately there are ‘no’ and ‘low’ cost options. Here are a few ideas to help you:

  • Type “Free Personal Development” into Google and as of today you’d get back 262,000 results! Surely you’d be able to find some useful material in amongst that lot?
  • Look out for celebrity promotions. An excellent one is Oprah Winfrey’s  Are you ready to be awakened? featuring the book,  A New Earth Business Personal Development Can You Sell More Pink Fluffy Pig Slippers Than Me? by Eckhart Tolle. The book will cost you $10 and Oprah provides absolutely free, a workbook and recorded webcasts to help you work through the material.What a bargain!
  • Some personal development speakers who conduct face to face events often provide a full weekend’s training for free. Of course they sell products at these functions but you don’t have to buy these.  You will definitely get some value from attending a full weekend conference. They can’t spend the whole time in infomercial mode!
  • Bloggers often offer free personal development bonuses on their sites. Two of my business partners, Jordan Schultz and Vitaliy Dubinin do  just this. Go and take a look.
  • Hopefully by now you have realized that it’s essential to use an effective generic marketing system outside of what your company offers to market your business. Some of these and most definitely the Attraction Marketing System I use, offer personal development as part of their webinar meetings and training library.
  • If you prefer face to face personal development programs then check out your local community college. These frequently offer excellent, low cost local courses on various subjects.

Remember this though….  you can learn about the equipment and rules to do with playing tennis as  much as you like but the only way you’ll know if you can play is if you get out there and do it. The same holds for business personal development. You can read as many books as you like and attend one seminar after another but none will provide you with a magic wand. You must get out there and with the help of what you have learned, face your fears and the challenges until you overcome them.

I’d love to hear what your thoughts are about personal development. Also please tell us about any  other low and no cost options you may have used.

Remember my goal is helping you achieve yours!
