How to Get Motivated When You Don’t Feel Like It
Why is it so important to stay motivated as a Network
Marketer?
When you are
motivated as a network marketer, your work seems so much easier. You can do a
lot in minimal time, unlike someone who is not really motivated. Prospecting,
recruiting, selling – everything appears easy to a motivated marketer. If you
are not motivated, you are just wasting time.
Do you find
yourself struggling for motivation as a network marketer? Here are some tips on
how to shake the blues off and get your confidence back.
Don’t let the negativity get you down…
Here’s what you
should ask yourself – why are you in the business? You’re probably in it to
earn a decent income for yourself, to make things easier for your family. You
love network marketing and appreciate what the business has to offer. Yes, it
is often painful to hear prospects saying negative things about your business.
It’s easy to get disheartened when your team members talk of quitting and
criticize the business. You will have to develop a thick skin here and focus on
your goals and what you wish to achieve. Shake off the negativity, and remember
why you are in the business in the first place.
What’s your vision?
Every marketer
should have a larger vision that is bigger than himself or herself. People get
into network marketing for selfish reasons, but eventually, as they spend time
on it, recruit their own teams, they become leaders who help other people do
well in the business. That can be a great motivation to have – to train other
people to succeed and make something of their lives.
Work hard on your personal development
You should invest
in yourself. Read popular self-help books, watch inspirational DVDs and listen
to great music. Make it a point to read at least a couple of books in a month.
Learn something new all the time.
Attend networking events
Attending
networking events is a great way to find new prospects for your business. They
also leave you excited, fully charged and raring to go. You will come out of
these events super motivated and ready to take your business to new heights.
Be realistic about your goals
It is very
important to be realistic about your goals. You shouldn’t set a goal of making
a six-figure income in your first year as a network marketer – that is simply
impossible. It takes years before people make that sort of money from an MLM
business. Setting unrealistic goals will only cause you to get disenchanted
with the business when you fail to achieve them. Set easily achievable small
goals that are well within your reach. Celebrate each milestone achieved with
your family. This will keep you motivated for the long term.
We hope the tips
given here are useful to you. We would love to know how you keep yourself
motivated when things don’t go too well with your MLM business. Do keep the
