Network marketing is a great business model to get involved with and a great way to make a living.  You get to build a business on your terms, work with the people you want to work with, grow it however big you want to, and help other people to do the same.  I don’t know of any other model in the world that allows you to do all of those things at the same time.  However, I’ve discovered something about people that fail to achieve network marketing success:

No one ever really fails at network marketing, they just give up right before the walls break down and their lives change for the better.

When I think about all the people that have quit network marketing and I know how close they were to really getting the momentum going that they need to be successful, it makes me shudder.  Yes, it takes time to get your business off the ground.  It takes work.  Don’t let anyone tell you other wise.  There are lots of different ways to build this business, but they all require work.

But, so many people have fears that they can’t overcome and they quit just before they find true network marketing success.  Here are what I believe are the top 5 fears and what you can do to overcome them and move forward in your business.

Lack – So many of us, myself included, focus on what we don’t have.  We are constantly thinking about what we don’t have in our business.  Thinking about lack just breeds more lack.  The more you think about what you don’t have, the more stuff you won’t have.  It’s a simple principle that has carried through the ages.

How to overcome – Focus on what you have right now, no matter how insignificant you think it may be.  Start with where you are right now, not tomorrow, not 5 minutes from now.  This can’t wait, you’ve got to change your outlook now to make tomorrow a better day.

Rejection – So many of us are so afraid of being rejected by people.  We get so scared of hearing the word “no” that we won’t talk to anyone about our business.  And this produces no forward motion, frustrating us and causing us to quit.

How to overcome – Don’t worry about hearing “no”.  It’s just a word and it can’t hurt you, no matter how much you think it can.  Get past it and move forward.

Criticism – You’re going to have a lot of people criticizing you for what you’re doing.  They’re going to say you’re crazy and that you’re just wasting your time.  This can cause a lot of people to quit very early on in their business.

How to overcome – If you are surrounded by people that won’t encourage you, get away from them.  As a matter of fact, screw them!  They haven’t done what you’re doing and they certainly haven’t had any success.  If they had, they’d be rooting for you, not trying to bring you down.  Move forward and find some people that will support what you’re doing.

Failure – What can I say?  So many of us are so afraid to fail that we quit trying.

How to overcome – Failure is just another step in the learning process.  You haven’t failed, you just found another way not to get to your goals.  Try again.  And when it feels like you can’t try any more, try one more time.

Success – I know this one sounds crazy, but there are a lot of networkers that are afraid of being successful.  They feel like they won’t be able to handle the limelight, the attention, the money that success will bring them in this business.  They are afraid of becoming a leader.

How to overcome – Believe in yourself.  You were made to be a champion, to be a leader.  You were made to change your world.  Get out there and do it.

If you’ve experienced any of these fears, I’d love to hear how you were able to overcome in the comments below.  And if there’s anything here I haven’t covered, feel free to add it.

PS: For a chance to join my inner circle team and be surrounded by a group of people that WILL NOT LET YOU FAIL and see the exact tactics and strategies we’re using to build our businesses on the Internet, Click Right Here and let’s get started!

We’re all looking for good quality people to join our business and help get things moving to another level.  You know the type of people I’m talking about.

You, and everyone else involved in a home based business opportunity, are looking for the self-motivated go-getters that won’t be calling you every day to get a jolt of encouragement and motivational pep talk.

These are the people that will call you only when they need help closing someone into the business, or to give you an update on some fantastic recruiting news, or just to chat and share in the awesomeness that you and your team are building.

Those are the kind of people we all want.  Unfortunately, not everyone we recruit is going to be like that.  In fact, most people aren’t.  Not that people that you recruit can’t become like that, many can.  But they’re not going to come to you as a true leader when they’re starting out.

That is, unless you go looking for them.

You can impact the results of your business pretty dramatically if you plan your prospecting the right way.  If you want to recruit leaders into your business, and you should, you’ve got to go looking for leaders.

So, what type of people are you looking for?  You’re looking for people that exhibit the same types of skills that you need to be a leader in network marketing, but that are involved in some other line of work right now.

You’re looking for people that aren’t afraid to pick up the phone, that don’t shy away from meeting and connecting with new people.  You’re looking for someone that makes their own schedule and manages their time well.  You’re looking for someone that is self-motivated and doesn’t have to have someone looking over their shoulder to make sure things are getting done.

You’re looking for the movers and shakers, people that are “getting it done” right now and have the potential to make a real impact in a network marketing business.

Here’s the problem:  Most of us when we’re getting started in network marketing may NOT be one of these individuals.  I wasn’t.  I had to grow into it.  But, I understand the importance of having someone like this in my business.

But I didn’t know how to talk to them and I was scared to death to even try.  And I’m sure that many of you feel exactly the same way.  You have many of the same fears that I did.

How do you talk to these people?  Where do you find them?  What do you say once you find them?

If you’re serious about getting some real firepower and leadership in your business, you’ll watch this FREE 71 minute webinar where a 20-year network marketing veteran reveals the proven, time-tested strategy he’s used to recruit quality leaders into his business and create a multiple six-figure income, and he’ll show you how you can do it too!

If you’re ready to take things to another level and start recruiting leaders, get this presentation NOW!

If you haven’t figure it out yet, learning how to recruit in your MLM business is the key to your success. You can make money and build your business through retail sales of your products, but unless you are actively recruiting and growing your business, your momentum will disappear, and so will your check.

But, too many times new MLM business people are not getting the right kind of support and training from their upline team and maybe even their company.

In a lot of companies, new reps are told that you just have to find a few people yourself and then start helping them build their teams. Although you do want to help people build their teams, I’m of the opinion that you don’t need to do this starting out.

When you first get started in your network marketing business, your one goal should be to recruit as many people as you possible can personally. If you’re going to become a full-time network marketer, you’ve got to produce the numbers yourself and not rely on the work of others at the beginning.

When you’re really focused on recruiting, you will get some good people into your business that will start growing their own teams without you having to do a lot of hand-holding to get them on their way.

The problem that a lot of network marketers have is that they believe that they have to go out and find those few “superstars” that will explode their business and simply ignore everyone else.

If you’re doing this, you’re asking for trouble and you’ll be getting some small checks for a long time.

Industry legend Mark Yarnell stated that you need to expose 30 people every day to your business if you want to create a six-figure income in your network marketing business.

If you’re searching for the “superstar”, you’re not going to be able to talk to 30 people a day, probably not even 30 people a month. The superstar marketers are few and far between, but you will find them if you are actively recruiting and building your downline.

So, what do you do to increase your downline? Simple. You recruit.

You don’t prejudge anyone, because you have no idea which people will be the superstars and which ones will join your business and then never recruit anyone. And sometimes the people that you think will be the absolute best will be the people that you never hear from again once they join up.

When you’re getting started in your network marketing business and looking to increase your downline, you just have to go out and recruit. Once you’ve been able to create a full-time income from your own work, then you can start helping other people build their business to a full-time income and watch your own checks grow exponentially.

Now, if you remember I said earlier that you really need to talk to 30 people a day to create a six-figure income with your network marketing business. But I know that many of you reading this don’t have a clue how to find 3 people a day to talk to, much less 30.

So, I’ve got something that I’d love for you to check out that is really going to get your business rocking starting today! I’ve arranged for you to get FREE access to a powerful webinar put on recently by a true “superstar” that will show you how you can generate 513 laser-targeted prospects for your business over and over again.

If you’re really serious about becoming a full-time network marketer and living the dream lifestyle, you’ll claim your access to this webinar TODAY at http://www.MLMPowerLeadsNow.com

Don’t waste any more time, go there now!

I’m willing to bet that I know what you’re most afraid of.  And I’m pretty sure it’s not spiders, shark attacks, the Boogeyman, heights, or even public speaking.  There’s a deep rooted fear that practically strangles everyone in business, not just network marketing.

And that’s the fear of that stinkin’ little technological wonder we call the PHONE.

The phone was a wonderful invention and has certainly changed the way that we communicate.  At this point, we’ve all had a phone for a very long time and most of us have multiple phones in our home if you’re counting landline and cell phones.

So, what’s the big deal?  Why is it so hard for so many people (including myself!) to just pick up the phone and call someone that may have some interest in our business?  Why does that hunk of plastic feel like it weighs 856 tons when we go to pick it up and make a call?

What’s the real reason that we all start to break out in a sweat, our heart starts racing and we start breathing like we’ve been running from the Wolfman for 3 hours if we decide that TODAY we’re actually going to make a phone call?

Everyone has a different reason.  Some of us aren’t confident presenting the business to people.  Some are afraid of rejection.  Some are afraid that they won’t know the right words to say.

And some of us are afraid that the person on the other end will actually say “Yes” and join the business.   Imagine that.

Now, I’m not sitting here telling you that I don’t have fears about picking up the phone.  That’s simply not the case.  I freak out every time I pick up the phone.

But here’s what I know: I know that every time I pick up the phone it gets easier.  I know that the more people that I talk to, the more likely I am to be successful in this business. The same is true for you.

You don’t have to be perfect on the phone when you’re getting started.  Trust me, you won’t be, so just get that in your brain right now.  Once you accept that, you’ll do much better.  You don’t have to be great, you just have to take action.

Taking action will do more to help you get over your phone fear than trying to figure out exactly the right words to say.  Pick up the phone and call that prospect and just ask them, “Would you be open to a side project that wouldn’t interfere with what you’re currently doing?”

If they say yes, great.  Send them some information or send them to an online presentation.  If they say no, that’s cool, too.  You’ve got more people to call and more money to make.

Get over your fear of the phone by using the phone.  Soon, you’ll be a phone-calling beast that recruits all the time.

As an internet network marketer, I’m sure you’ve heard all about attraction marketing at this point and how once you’ve started using it, you’ll never have to do “old school” MLM recruiting ever again and people will just be beating down your door to join your business and send you money.

I call shenanigans and hogwash.

When people first started talking about attraction marketing a few years ago, this was probably true. But, like every other tactic that’s ever been used online, after awhile, things don’t work as well as they used to.

The same goes for attraction marketing. if you really believe at this point that if you never pick up the phone and actually CALL your prospects that you’ll still be able to build a business using the Internet, you’re dreaming.

The chances that someone is going to join your business without first talking to you are slim to none. I’m not saying that it’s never going to happen, but I am saying that it’s not going to happen very much.

So, what do you do? You can still use the Internet to generate leads, but you’ve got to pick up the phone and actually call your prospects if you want them to take action.

Here’s 5 reasons why network marketers have to pick up the phone or get out of the business. I hope they help you focus and get moving in your business.

Reason #1 – Everyone can make a phone call

If you want to grow a big business, you’ve got to get your team to duplicate. Not everyone can blog, tweet, Facebook and all that other online jazz. But EVERYONE knows how to use a phone.

Reason #2 – You will build your confidence

If you can talk to people on the phone about your business, you’re one step closer to getting over your fears of talking to people in person about your business. Start dialing.

Reason #3 – You’re ready to do 3-way calls

Remember, if you’ve got a good team you’re not out there alone making calls. You should have some upline leadership ready to get on a call with you if your prospect has questions. Take advantage of that leverage. But you can only do that if you’re picking up the phone and dialing.

Reason #4 – You’ll move through more leads

Phone calls a great for sorting and sifting. You’ll know pretty much immediately if the person you’re talking to is worth your time or not.

Reason #5 – People want to get to know YOU

Remember, this is “network” marketing. You have to network with people if you want them to join your business.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be using the Internet to build your business. What I’m saying is that you have to make contact with people if you want to recruit and build your business. Most people will NOT have the time nor the inclination to try and learn how to market on the Internet, they’d rather build their business offline and you need to be ready to help them.

If you are using the Internet to build your business, you need to watch this presentation that will tell you exactly what you need to do to get the most “bang for your buck” with your efforts.  Find out how the internet is killing most network marketing businesses and how you can keep it from happening to you.
