The right home business mindset is a must to succeed

By John Wallen

When growing a successful home business, it's essential to have the right mind-set. You need to learn how to think and act in order to not come across as needy and desperate to your prospects. Either you get this right or you will never become the leader you need to be in order to survive as a networker.

Here's the deal. As you master this mind-set, within a few months you will start to see your business grow. As your team becomes larger, it's inevitable you going to hear the voices start, and as your team continues to grow, so do the voices in both number, and volume.

The words of doubt like, "I'm not seeing the results I thought I would." "Why can't I sponsor anyone?" "I thought the system was suppose to do all the work for me?" They always start out like whimpers, and keep getting louder. This is called the doubter's virus, and will happen in every network business eventually.

If you want to keep being successful in your business just remember, you are not in anyway shape or form responsible for the success your distributor's may or may not have. It's not your problem. Stay focused and set the example of leading by building your business. Don't let them enter your world and spread their doubt.

You need to understand the majority of your team will not be successful, and there's nothing you can do about it. Once your team becomes larger and larger, eighty percent of your group will not succeed. It has nothing to do with you, that's just the law of averages at work.

Twenty percent will follow your lead and make something happen. So all you can do is prepare yourself to handle the emotions that will come from the others. If they continue to whine, be polite and let them know you will no longer work with them unless they change their attitude. Don't answer their calls or emails.

And I'm dead serious. This is not rude, don't let them plant the seeds of doubt and destroy your focus, and sabotage your success and dreams. Real leaders set the rules when it comes to the people and behavior they allow in their lives. Learn to protect yourself from the doubter's.

As leaders start to identify themselves on your team, have this talk with them, and let them know they will have to deal with this doubter's virus as well. There will always be competition. My suggestion is to get everyone on the same page with a marketing system that works, and is duplicatable. It will save you a ton of teaching time with your team. - 15790
