The Importance of Being a 'Student' of the Industry by Todd Falcone

I really appreciate you taking the time to read my article. It shows that you are eager to engulf information to better yourself... both in life and in your Network Marketing career. The information I hope to provide is going to cover the psychology of SUCCESS. Victories rather than defeats, wins rather than losses, abundance rather than lack.

Here's my simple definition of success:

"Success is the voluntary act of seeing something that you desire through to completion."

Finish the race... and you win! But, you must first get to the starting line.

One of my mentors taught me that if I wanted to be successful, I had to study success. In other words, "find someone who has what you want and do what they do". Wow! You mean success is that easy?? Not exactly, but it is certainly a great place to start!

Doesn't that make perfect sense? Think about it. If you want to be good at something, no matter what it is, doesn't it make sense to simply follow other people who are already successful doing whatever it is that you want to get good at? Remember the old phrase, "You become like those you hang around"? How true it is!

Hang around broke, unmotivated boring, unhappy people, and guess what? You become a broke, unmotivated, unhappy person. Doesn't sound appealing, does it?

On the other hand, spend your time with excited, motivated, happy, successful, inspired people who live life with passion and conviction in everything they do... and guess what? You get the picture! That's right... it rubs off on you.

Which would YOU rather have?

Every person that I know who has achieved extremely high levels of success, whether in relationships, business, or life in general, STUDIES THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS.

Over the years, many people have asked me about my favorite book, tape, or specific mentor that has led me to success. Unfortunately, I don't have one. I have many. That is what being a student is about.

Since so many people have asked me, I finally took the time to take a roster of my library.

Here is a sampling of some of the books and tapes I have read, listened to and continue to review:

3. Your Achievement Tips -
When Your Dream is Big Enough…You’re Rich! By Jerry "DRhino" Clark

What will keep you charging in your Network Marketing business when you have a bad day? Think about it. People in traditional businesses have two primary advantages over us Networkers:

#1) They have a lot of money invested; therefore, when they have a bad day, they are not likely to throw in the towel and quit. Sure they may think about it, but they will also think about the mortgage they have on their home, and the money they borrowed from friends and family members. This usually will keep them in their business even when someone returns the only product that they sold for the day or when they have to use their Visa to pay off MasterCard.

#2) They don’t have a job. That’s right, people who own their own traditional business usually don’t have a job to fall back on. They usually don’t say, “Well, I’m sick and tired of this stuff. I’m glad I got a job that is paying me $1,000 per week to fall back on.” Instead, they are out on a limb in an effort to make it happen. By the way, I once heard that on the limb is where the fruit is.

So what about you? You probably invested less than what it would cost for a nice pair of shoes to get started in your Network Marketing company. And you probably still have a job, right? And if you don't have a job, most of your distributors do, right? So what leverage can you have to help keep you charging full steam ahead when it seems like everything is going wrong?

Your Dream! That’s right, if your dream is big enough then the fear, rejection, embarrassment, and lack of Network Marketing know-how will not stop you. Instead, you will be empowered to keep charging ahead in the jungle so you can make it to the land of paradise. So find out what your Dream is and keep it in front of you when the going gets tough. You can use this technique to help keep your distributors going too. When you’re sitting on the beaches of the world… You’ll be glad you did.

Until next time
