Network Marketing Secret #1: Mindset DOES Come Before Skillsets
Today’s post is the first in a series called “Network Marketing Secrets”. Whether these are truly ’secrets’ or not is up to debate. However, they are secret to the extent that most people either don’t get them or choose to ignore them, mostly in the search for making money fast.
Network Marketing Secret #1 involves MINDSET.
“Mindset comes BEFORE skill sets”. That’s a great saying. And it’s one that most people ignore.
The fact is, mindset comes WAY before learning new skills. Don’t get me wrong — learning new skills will be an essential part of growing your network marketing business. But getting it right between your ears is your first order of business.
If you don’t, it won’t matter how skillful you are in network marketing… YOU WILL FAIL.
Guaranteed.
So how do you get your mindset right?
Get around other experienced entrepreneurs, preferably in person.
You’ll notice that your upline will heavily promote getting to live events (for reasons that will become evident in another post very soon), but it truly IS important for you to surround yourself with people who are successful at what you are attempting. A live event is a great way to accomplish this.
Join groups of other entrepreneurs on professional social networks
I recommend joining LinkedIn, a social network for professionals and entrepreneurs. It’s a terrific way to mastermind with other entrepreneurs. Join groups that interest you and participate in the discussion. Notice how they just seem to THINK differently than other people in your life. This is mindset, guys.
Another great site to join is BetterNetworker.com. Go through the articles and forum posts and see who you resonate with. Befriend them, maybe even contact them directly and LEARN from them. TIP: has a group of Instructors who present various training on the site. These are great people to learn from, because they are already successful in something that you are trying to understand and get you head around.
Both LinkedIn.com and BetterNetworker.com are free to join.
Read Books Related to Entrepreneurial Mindset
You can tell the level of success of a network marketer by the size of his library. I believe Mr. Jim Rohn said this first, and I am a firm believer in it’s accuracy. Leaders are readers, and to be successful you will need to do both.
I recommend that everyone on my entrepreneurial team start by reading a book called The Traveler’s Gift, by Andy Andrews. I consider it to be one of the best mindset books on the market, and can be applied to anything in your life. When you’re finished with that, pick up the sequel by the same author, called The Noticer.
These are easy to read, told in story form.
Better books are tough to come by. And they will provide the foundation on which you will begin developing your entrepreneurial mindset.
If you haven’t already done so, pick up a copy of The Traveler’s Gift at Amazon.com or at your local bookstore.
To your success!
