In Step 3 of The Secret Code of Success: 7 Hidden Steps to More Wealth and Happiness, Noah St John suggests we need to install five essential systems of support in our lives and businesses.

Just as your body is made up of systems and all of these need to be working optimally for you to experience physical well-being, so your business is also made up of systems.

When these are all working together, you will experience ease in this area of your life too.

Noah talks about the following five systems in his book – People, Activities, Environment, Introspection, and Simplify.

I want to focus on the People system in this post which he also says is the most important, because if this is not working, nothing else matters.

Once again I believe that what he covers on this topic is of specific relevance to network marketers, especially since our success depends completely on other people.

However installing your people system applies to your lives in general and all business.

Here are his five steps for installing your people system and how I believe these apply to network marketing.

Step 1 – ACKNOWLEDGE People

The reason this  is crucial is because human beings are starving for attention, appreciation, recognition, and acknowledgement.

The problem as Noah St John points out is that we’re all wearing an invisible sign that says, “Please make me feel important.”

The BIG question is are you willing to make someone else feel important first or are you so starved for this yourself that you’re waiting for someone else to do it for you first?

If you want to stand out, and you should, then you have to be prepared to do it first. This is part of your leadership role.

Make it your mission to acknowledge your team, your sponsor, your peers, blogging buddies… and especially your prospects.

You don’t have to ‘gush’ in any insincere way. Respect them by listening to them FIRST and you’ll be showing that you acknowledge them.

Step 2 – ASK People

This critical step will need all of your attention for a little while because most people find this a challenging step to master in network marketing.

How easy do you find asking others to look at what you have to offer?

If you don’t, the reason for this is more than likely a fear of rejection.

It’s the fear that the other person might say no or the fear that someone might laugh at you or make fun of you.

This usually comes from your having been rejected previously at various times during your formative years and beyond.

The truth is very successful people are not afraid to ask.

You may have even said that you don’t want to hound people like a pushy salesman.

There is a difference however between being pushy and asking someone to look at something that would truly benefit them.

When you understand and believe that you are bringing value to others, then you will not be afraid to ask because you will be convinced that you have something that can help them.

As Noah St John says,

“Present your value to others, Ask if they’re interested, and if they say no . . . so what? You’re no worse off than you were before you asked. You already didn’t have the thing, right? So you haven’t lost anything, have you?”

If you keep on presenting your value to others, eventually you will find enough people who recognize what you have to offer.

Step 3 – ACCEPT What you Have Asked for

Did you know that ironically this is more important than being able to ask?

If you can’t accept what you have asked for then there’s no point in asking is there?

Now you might be thinking that this sounds daft. Surely if you’ve asked for something you’ll accept it?

Not so. The reason for this is that you may be unaware that you are not accepting what you have asked for. This happens at a subconscious level. It happens because you have a subconscious belief that you don’t deserve to receive what you have asked for.

The first step in changing this is realizing that it might be a hidden block for you.

Step 4 – Be ACCOUNTABLE to Others

While you want your business to bring you financial gain, if you’re honest with yourself, what you want more is to feel significant to others. This is what gives what you do a meaningful purpose.

You want to contribute to making a difference in other people’s lives.

Network marketing is the ideal business to realize this.

When you take on new team members make yourself accountable to them.  It is a partnership and they have a definite role to play but it’s up to you to step up and be the leader. This is how they will learn to do the same for their people.

Think how you will feel when you know that you have made a difference to someone’s life on the scale that is possible with network marketing?

Step 5 - AFFORMATIONS

This is the process of asking empowering questions that can change your life, as invented by Noah St John.

You can read more about this in a previous post of mine, Affirmations Don’t Work or do They?

Examples are:

Why do I attract so many successful people into my life?

Why are leaders so magnetized to me?

Why do I attract the best prospects every day to my business?

Why do I find it easy to ask people to look at what I have to offer them?

Why is it natural for me to accept what I have asked for?

Why do I deserve everything I have asked for?

Why do I love making a difference to my associates lives?

I look forward to reading your comments!

Be Happy!
