Here's one of my favorite quotes that inspires and reminds me to keep going when I feel like giving up (I hope it will do the same for you):

"Nothing can resist the human will  that
will stake even its existence on its stated  purpose"

- Benjamin Disraeli

Network marketing can take you to the greatest emotional highs imaginable, and in the next instant, can bring you to your knees.

If you don't have a strong resolve... if you haven't decided to make MLM work for you no matter what (I'm talking about the same determination that a baby  has to learn how to walk) then any obstacle - big or small -  will throw you off track!

So, how do you make up your mind to win at MLM? Well, the answer is simple: If you  have enough reasons why you are doing something, then everything else is easy. In other words, your power to succeed in MLM will never be found in the "how-to"... you'll find it in your "WHY-TO."

It's an odd paradox.

Take two similar appearing people, for example. Person "X" knows all the techniques perfectly and can parrot them back  flawlessly... while person "Y", brand new to MLM, knows nothing. If person "Y" has the passion, the desire, and has enough reasons why he/she has GOT to succeed, then  he/she will run circles around person "X" without any experience whatsoever.

Again, the difference is in the reasons why!

So, the secret to cultivating the iron-will and mental toughness needed to overcome any hurdle  between you and MLM riches lies within you and your reasons  for success.

Now, here's a little test to tell if you have enough reasons: Are you - right now - experiencing the  level of Network Marketing success you desire? If not, you need to cultivate more reasons why.

Here's how you can do that. Block out some time (an hour or two), sit down, and write out the answers to the following questions. Don't blow this off.  Spend some time with it. If you do this, you'll discover what really drives and motivates you. You'll start to figure out why you do (or don't do) the things you do (or know you should do).

So, enjoy the next few questions and really dig in here. Get inside your heart and see what it is that's driving you. You're going to find out some really amazing things about yourself that you never knew before. It can be quite an "eye-opener."

Now, there's the other thing that you need to know. It's important. Your network can only grow as much and as fast as you grow personally. So, if you're not making enough money, or you're not seeing the results that you want to see, it's usually an indication that some inner growth is necessary and these questions are the way to do that!

Here they are:

1. What great things would you do if you knew you could not fail? What would your life hold for the next 1 to 10 years if you were guaranteed you could have anything?  (What do you want to DO, to BE, to SEE, to HAVE, to GO, to SHARE?)
   
   
2. What motivates you? (Example: Recognition, feeling of winning, money, share wealth with others, learning,  etc...) Why do these things motivate you?
   
   
3. What talents are you going to share with your team and the new members of your team? What do you have to contribute?
   
   
4. What are your "nitty-gritty reasons" for building your Network Marketing business? (What do you never again want or will never again accept in your life?)
   
   
5. What does teamwork mean to you? How do you act in a team situation? Does empowerment and encouragement come naturally for you? If not, what could you do to make sure it does?
   
   
6. If there are any goals you've failed to reach in your networking business so far, what really stopped you?
   
   
7. What would you do if you HAD to be rich? What if you HAD to make your business pay off in the next 6 months?  What if your very life, or the lives of your loved ones, depended on it? What excuses would you be willing to give up? What would you do right now that you haven't been  doing?
   
   
8. If you had to describe yourself (not physically) in only three words, what would they be? Why?
   
   
9. What are your biggest challenges when communicating with others?
   
   
10. How much income do want from this business? $50,000 a  year? $100,000? $300,000? List a specific amount of money you would ultimately like and by when you are determined to have it by. For example, you might write: "One year  from today, I will have an extra $50,000 a year in  passive income." Whatever it is for you, write it down  now...
    
    
11. What are the intangible elements you want from your MLM business? For example: "I want to buy back my time and have the freedom to live my life on my terms."  Whatever it is for you, write it down now...

Now learn what pitfalls to avoid!
