I was first introduced to Network Marketing about 12 years ago. I was in a company called New Image International; a health and nutrition company. There were many valuable lessons I learned. Dale Calvert was the director of the company and he was a marketing genius. That is also where I was introduced to the many motivational, inspiring and life changing books: Think and Grow Rich, The Magic of Thinking Big, Zig Zigler, Og Mandino, Burke Hedges and the list goes on and on…
Becoming the person that people want to follow is probably the number one lesson I learned. First you become a successful person and the money will follow. How true! Spending time and investing in yourself is NEVER a waste of time or resources. Continuing to grow and learn is what keeps life interesting and relationships alive. And after all, isn’t relationships what life is all about?
If you help enough people get where they want to be you WILL be successful. That’s Network Marketing in a nutshell. Not getting people in your downline so you can get rich. It’s people helping people that creates wealth within a Network Marketing company.
Positioning is everything. Timing, being at the right place at the right time is also HUGE. A prelaunching of a company is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity. That’s where I find myself today and I feel really blessed to be here.
Recruiting up will always be beneficial. To be a leader you must hang out with leaders. Hanging out with people who are where you want to go and the type of person you want to become is beyond big.
These lessons are just a few of many I learned in the first company I was in. I am confident that I will continue to learn more as I travel along this networking road. Life is a journey, and what an exciting journey it is! What lessons have you learned?
Life…just saying.
