But really it's not totally their fault. They were probably told it only takes a few hours a week to grow their business in order to become rich. The real truth is that it takes a lot of hard work and proper marketing education to grow a business.
If this were not true, then why is it that so many distributors seem to have schedules, business cards, and more fliers and brochures than they can distribute, but they still can't seem to get anything done? With all of the turn-key marketing techniques available, why is it that at the end of the day, nothing productive gets accomplished?
Unfortunately, most people have some sort of business plan or plan of attack, but they just don't have the proper marketing techniques to accomplish their goals successfully. If you aren't lazy but struggling with recruiting people into your business or building your downline, don't feel bad. A lot of people are in your exact shoes.
All the techniques people have been taught in Network Marketing over the years have simply been for the benefit of the company and not the distributor. They do the best with what they have in order to make sure they make enough of a profit to keep you in business. Teaching proper marketing techniques takes a lot of time and money, so they resort to methods which are great for the company but not for the average distributors. Since they are really only responsible for providing you with product and issuing you a check, it makes sense to look elsewhere for proper marketing education.
I finally found a program that provided me with a money back guarantee if their techniques didn't work. Not only did they work, I am now able to help people jump-start their businesses with the same education that helped me. Here are a few things that I learned:
You must define who your target audience is and put the right message in front of them. Ever wonder why your friends and family don't care to even try your products, let alone go into business with you? It's because they are not your target audience. They do not have a want, need or desire for what you have to offer. Some of them may buy a product from you just to be nice, but you won't grow a successful business because of it.
You must also be able to outline the benefits of your products and services. If I were a customer of yours, what can I expect as a result of consuming your product for a few months? You must know your target audience inside and out. What keeps them up at night? What specific problems do they need solutions for? You may think everyone on the planet should take your product, but not everyone wants to solve their problems.
Stop holding home parties, passing out flyers and handing out samples. All of these techniques are outdated and are not designed to help you find your target audience easily or quickly in TODAY'S MARKET. They are simply taught so that you will get the word out to the masses so your company will lock in a few satisfied customers who keep ordering long after you have quit.
Growing a business and creating a 5 figure monthly income (or more) for yourself also requires the mindset of a leader. If you don't have one, then you need to start doing the things in order to develop one. Stop calling your upline to do 3-way calls with them to help you sign up people. All this does is position your upline as a leader and not you. Leaders do it themselves. It is absolutely crucial to learn how to position yourself as a leader if you want your business to grow.
With the proper attitude and a strong enough reason for following your dreams, there's no reason why you should accept laziness as an excuse to never reach your dreams. You too can get things done just like anyone else. There's absolutely nothing holding you back from the success you desire. Every excuse boils down to laziness brought upon by a lack of understanding the reality of what it takes to succeed in a home based business and of making your dreams a reality.
Success is a journey, not a destination. Proper marketing education will guide you down the right road, but you can't be lazy just because you are on the right path either. It takes hard work and dedication to build a solid network marketing company. What you want is to stop being lazy with your business, and start being smart.
