Lie #6 – You just don’t have enough belief!
Ughh!! Aren’t you sick of this one? Of all the lies in network marketing are there any that are more annoying than this one? The evil lie of motivation and belief has got to be one of the greatest shams in the history of sales (not just network marketing). Millions of distributors everywhere are told that the reason they aren’t successful yet is because they just don’t have enough belief. Or they don’t have a big enough “why.” Don’t you just want to lose your lunch when some big shot in front of the room tells you that? The heavy hitters in your company would have you believe that you just need to get to that “breaking point” where you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired and then…nothing will be able to get in your way!
So what do you do? You listen to inspirational CDs. You cut out pictures of the car you want to buy and the places you want to go. You put those pictures everywhere – your fridge, your dashboard, your cupboard doors, your computer monitor – so you’re constantly reminded of what you’re working so hard for. You think positive. You go to every meeting you possibly can to energize your battery and “pump” yourself up for the week. You go to the annual national rally because you know that just seeing all those massively-successful stars up on stage will be enough to kick you into overdrive. You’ll be so overwhelmed and inspired that you’ll be unstoppable! You’ll reach that magical turning point where everything starts working and your bank account is filled with cash! Stop and think about it for a minute. Really think about it. Is that how it works? Is fanatical motivation really the missing ingredient to success?
Last time I checked, you don’t need to have a huge “why” and a dream board just to make an average $30,000 income with a job. So why do we need all that stuff in network marketing? I mean, wouldn’t it make sense that if you were doing what you’re supposed to be doing, you’d at least be able to make a comparable income with your business? Now I know what you’re going to say. Yes, of course owning your own business is different. It’s harder than working a job. You don’t make money immediately. It’s called delayed gratification. You have to lay the foundation first before you get paid. We all understand that concept.
However, network marketing doesn’t have to be as hard as it is for most people. The point is, if you’re truly building your business correctly, you’ll start seeing positive results, small as they may be at first.

If you’ve been hard at it for over 3 years and you still aren’t cash-flowing…something is seriously wrong! And I can guarantee you it’s not your motivation.
Think of it this way:
If You’re Using A Shovel To Dig The Foundation For A House – When You Could Be Using A Bulldozer – Then yes, You’re Going To Need A Lot Of Motivation To Get The Job Done.
Make sense? The more inefficient your system is and the more ineffective your tools are, the harder you’re going to have to work to get results. And because of that, you have to make up for it big time with motivation. When you’re using the right tools for the job…you’re seeing steady, consistent progress and things are trucking along smoothly…motivation becomes almost an afterthought. Let me ask you: If you had highly-qualified prospects to talk to every day that understood what you do, expressed an interest in learning more and were eagerly awaiting your response, do you think that motivation would be a problem for you?
No!
But motivation becomes a major issue when you have to force yourself to pick up that 10,000 lb. phone to call your son’s soccer coach who you know doesn’t give a rip about your business! That’s when you need to whip out your handy-dandy goal statement and remind yourself exactly why it is you’re annoying the heck out of people. That’s what I did. I willed myself to harass everyone on my names list 5 times over until eventually people just stopped talking with me. Lost a few friends in the process.
You know what though? I finally did reach that “magical” turning point in my business where all of a sudden everything started working. I went from barely signing up 1 person every 5 months…to sponsoring 10 people every month like clockwork. I went from trying to set up appointments with Perkins waitresses…to having success coaches calling me to ask if they can do what I do.
What happened?
I stopped worrying about belief and started concerning myself with the real nuts and bolts of how to market a business. Which is this: Find the people who’re looking for what you have, use an effective marketing system to automatically sell to them for you, and then spend your time working with the best ones.
