Network Marketing is a business. When you have joined a network marketing company, you are actually running your own business. Sure, you are using the resources/systems of your network marketing company, but you are still building YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

This is why it is important to have the MINDSET of a business builder (leader).

Your mindset is your thinking pattern, your perspective about something. Whatever profession you are in, it is important to develop the proper perspective that is SUITABLE for that particular profession.

This is also true for your network marketing business. If you have the right mindset about network marketing, you will stick with this business for the long term and take consistent action, and also you will not quit.

In this blog post, I will discuss 6 mindset tips (6 thinking patterns) that you need to develop to succeed with your network marketing company. Note that, these 6 tips are not everything. There are some more mindset tips you will come along, as you continue with your network marketing journey. However, I believe these mindset tips are amongst the top ones, that are really going to help you greatly in your network marketing business.

What is Network Marketing and Why Should You Consider Joining a Good Network Marketing Company?

Mindset Tip #1 : Join A Good Network Marketing Company

There are many network marketing companies out there. But not all companies are run by capable owners. Also, not all companies have the same compensation plan. Some companies have more carefully structured compensation plan, that really fosters duplication and downline growth. You always want to join such companies.

SFI is one such company. I am with this company for a few years now, and I really like this company. They have a great compensation plan that supports multiple streams of residual income, and they are constantly introducing various improvements and updates, that really support team building and duplication. They also have a great reward program, known as rewardical, that every affiliate who joins SFI can take part in everyday. Learn more about rewardicals from here:-

Mindset Tip #2 : Take Charge

As I have said before, after you have joined a good network marketing company, it is your own business that you are building, therefore you must think like a business owner (leader), and take charge.

You must continually remind yourself of the important activities of your business (the activities that help grow your business). Remember that no one cares about your business, unless you care.

You must think like this : “If It is to be, it is up to me”.

In fact, it is your own sense of responsibility and being proactive, that will make you more successful in network marketing than any other factors. You must think about what activities would help grow your downline and your business, and then make sure you get those activities done. Only action will bring results.

Therefore, make sure you are doing something, to grow your network marketing business everyday.

Mindset Tip ##3 : Focus on Building and Growing Your Downline

You must focus on building and growing your downline. In other words, you must focus on team building, which is creating a group of active people at different levels/generations below you.

Although you can promote the products of the company and earn commissions, remember that the main reason you have joined your network marketing company, so that you can earn from the activities of your downline members. This will free up your time, and in this way as your downline grows, you can earn leveraged and residual income from the activities of your downline members.

Study the compensation plan of your network marketing company carefully, and then think about what activities will help grow your downline.

Note that how fast your downline will grow, will depend on the type of training/support your downline members are getting. When they get properly trained, then they will be able to take proper action, which will ultimately help your downline grow into more below levels, with passage of time. This is called duplication.

Mindset Tip #4 : Spend More Time on Frontline Activities of Your Business

Like any other business, network marketing is a sifting and sorting business. This means you have to go through a lot of people, who don’t get it or who don’t want to do this business, to FIND a few people who want to do this business with YOU.

The more time you spend on the frontline activities of your business, the more chance you will find some people who want to do this business with you, and become a part of your downline.

Mindset Tip #5 : See the Big Picture and Keep that Big Picture in Mind

In network marketing, many people quit (and many quit too early), because they fail to see the big picture.

So, what is the big picture?

The big picture is the future potential or WHAT IS POSSIBLE, if you stick with your network marketing company for the long term (3 to 5 years or even more), and take consistent action in important business building activities.

What is possible if you have grown your downline into 4 levels? or even 6 levels or more? What is possible if you have found some good people at your first level?

Yes, it will take time. It will take a lot of hard work. And you will have to go through lots of rejections and inactive downline members (those who fail to see the big picture). But it is necessary to keep the big picture in mind, and keep taking action continually.

See the next mindset tip in this regard (remain positive and don’t quit).

Mindset Tip #6 : Remain Postive and Don’t Quit

When you are running a business, you are also playing the mind game all the time. It is all about how much positive and solution oriented you can remain whenever you are working on your network marketing business.

In other words, are you seeing the glass half full, or are you seeing it half empty?

Remember that no venture in this world runs smoothly, and this is true for your network marketing business also. You are going to face challenges and problems. It is all about how much positive and solution oriented you can remain during this time, and how quickly you can bounce back, and then continue to take action.

This also boils down to the previous mindset tip (see the big picture and keep that picture in mind). If you can keep the big picture in your mind, these hurdles and challenges will not seem like a big problems to you, and you will be more motivated to find a way to overcome them, and keep going.

Persistence is going to bring you to the finish line.

Therefore, if you are facing some problems or seeing no result in your network marketing business, remain positive and look for ways on how you can overcome these problems. For example, if you are finding it difficult to get active downline members, maybe you are not posting enough ads or maybe your promotion strategies are not effective. For any problem, if you look for a solution, you are always going to find it.
