The MLM ‘Head’ Game

As I sat down to write this article today, I didn’t know what direction I was going to go. That said, I started to think about a very significant life experience I had almost two years ago. It was the most devastating thing to happen in my life personally, but it has significantly changed my network marketing career. Huh? Read on and I’ll explain.

This story starts when I left my full-time job at a network marketing company. I began my MLM career thinking that will all that experience, I’d have no problems earning $100K in a matter months! Well, I was sorely mistaken. You see, I did my job of training & developing representatives by reading a lot about network marketing and then, simply teaching what I read. I didn’t truly implement what I learned because, at the end of the day, I was still a salaried employee and would get the same check at the end of the week. There was no motivation to practice these skills!

The great thing about this scenario was that I HAD been reading and self-developing for a while, so I was in a very good place mentally with this new profession, but just not skilled yet. When I’d face a challenge, I’d go looking for answers. I continued to also attend networking groups and joined recreational groups to expand my network. During one of these meetings, I met another network marketer that I hit it off with. One day, she invited me to San Diego to meet her business coach, Jeffrey Combs, and to attend a one-day seminar of his.

I wasn’t sure who Jeffrey Combs was, but if my friend Judith wanted me to meet him, I felt like I should. I drove to San Diego and that day was a defining moment in my life. I hired Jeffrey as my coach and part of my program was a 2 1/2 day seminar with Jeffrey entitled, ‘Breakthroughs to Success.’

This seminar will be a future article, altogether, but what I will say, is that is was absolutely life-changing in MANY ways! It was the first experience I have ever had with something being so life-changing. You see, I had had some very big hurdles hit me the prior year personally. They rocked my world and threw me into a tailspin. It was a HORRIBLE life experience that set in to motion some of the most positive things that have come to me in the last year.

How did I go from really bad experience to being in one of the best places I’ve ever been? When this particular challenge happened, I had to really take a look inside to see what led to it. I had to face some emotions and decisions that I had made to get me into that situation. I realized that I had made the situation, but what I realized, was that if I had the power to create a bad experience, I also had the power to create great experiences. I got my self there, I could get myself out and create only great things. I understood the power of our thoughts, our actions and our results!

I now understood how powerful the mind can be. I learned to forgive, to move forward and turn the rest of my life into MY life. I had the control on my thoughts, which then lead to my actions. I had an opportunity for a couple of years to move my family out West. I chose not to do it because of the people I’d hurt by leaving my town. Two months after coming to my realization, we packed up and moved West. We moved ultimately for the betterment of my family, but ultimately it was for ME. Six months later, I had decided to leave a job that was making me miserable. I made MAJOR decisions in order to get control back in my life. I no longer used the ‘What if…’ scenario…i.e. ‘What if I don’t like California,’ ‘What if I quit my job and I can’t make it work as a Network Marketer?’ ‘What if….’

The ‘What if’s’ had to go because what I realized was that when I controlled my actions, I controlled the outcomes. I believe that I will be a network marketing phenomenon, I believe that California is the place for me. There is no place for ‘What ifs.’ I will find the correct path no matter what.

I haven’t reached all my goals yet, but I’m working positively towards them. As I’ve taken this journey, I have me the people I needed to meet in order to move me forward in my career. When I’m experiencing a challenge, I always find the solution I need because I expect it. It has been so amazing to see how all this works and I wish EVERYONE was realize this. I know, however, most won’t. It’s a sad reality.

My life and my attitude are SO changed now. I see this incredible future that so few will ever experience because they will never get it. Their thoughts won’t let them. So, now, my thinking is to only attract people into my business that ‘get it.’ Because these are the ones that will do whatever it takes. They may not be instant producers or instant success stories, but they will stick with it because they have no doubts that they will be top producers. I want to work with only those who don’t dwell on the negatives and the challenges. They see the challenges as learning experiences and know that this journey wouldn’t be right without them! Those are the people I have attracted and will continue to attract because my head will allow nothing else! If you’ve stuck in long enough into this article and are still reading. Are YOU one of these? If so, let’s talk offline! NOT necessarily for me to recruit you into my business, however, that would be nice, but because YOU are someone I like to hold close and mastermind with. You never know where our friendship and our partnership in this true like-mindedness could take us! The sky is the limit!
