Step Seven: Take Responsibility
When I first got involved in network marketing, I had no MLM success strategy. I received in the mail a package from my new company which included: a couple of CDs, some brochures a breakdown of the compensation plan, a cost outline for the services I was marketing and the do’s and don’ts list. It all felt rather overwhelming initially and my first instinct was to quit before I even started. One of the coaches that I had in my business shared with me a simple mantra that I still repeat to myself 13 years later “If it’s to be, it’s up to me”. Having been employee for two decades I waited for a couple of days expecting somebody to tell me what to do. I probably could’ve waited several months but after two days of waiting, it occurred to me that I needed to figure this thing out myself and make a few calls as needed. Don’t wait for your phone to ring if there’s something you don’t know call someone and find out. Understand that this is your business and you’re responsible for your own success. If you bought a McDonald’s franchise you would not be phoning up Dairy Queen and ask them how to make the best hamburgers.
