Those of us who join network marketing companies or any home based businesses, join with good intentions. Intellectually, we think it’s a great way to get out of the 9-5 rut. But it doesn’t always go the way we expect. In the past 6 years of struggling I’ve learned what not to do in network marketing. Well, there are several things but I’ll talk about one: procrastination.
We play games with ourselves and say “I’ll do it later.” It feels safe that way. You don’t have to do anything right now. But really that’s just a cover, or a protection, for I’m afraid, or I don’t have the confidence, or some other deeper, underlying reason (excuse) for not taking action right away. Our emotions prevent us from changing.
I realized that I was the biggest obstacle to my own success, so I decided to take action now. I mean, how many times can a person say to himself: “I’ll do it later?” That can go on for years. I continually read self-improvement books and that’s helpful, but I needed something more.
After some introspection and examining why I was procrastinating, I decided to get a coach to help me out and give direction and hold me accountable for my actions so I can’t just put them off anymore. In most cases, when you hold yourself accountable it’s too easy to just put it off for later. Being accountable to another person changes the whole dynamic.
That’s why I would suggest getting plugged into a system that’s dedicated to training people for success, for marketing, and for mindset and helping them to get over the kinds of things that held me back for so long. Click on the link right below and start moving ahead now.
