For the MLM business professional today, it is very important to start from with the proper foundation. I worked diligently to figure out what that was as I learned the network marketing business.

I ran across many things that were very important, but this is a little different than essential.

I would separate the two by saying that things which are important will not necessarily lead to success or failure if they are added or left out of your endeavor.

Essentials make what ever you are doing functional. Without the essentials in place, you can strive for a lifetime and still not move closer to what you are trying to achieve.

With respect to my MLM business, I realized that the essentials were almost a carbon copy of what has been essential to personal and business success for thousands of years.

Granted, there are always some actions or habits that are specific to what you are trying to achieve, but the basic principles ring true across different types of achievement and every industry.

The starting point is what we are going to discuss today. If you haven’t read the overview of this series you can read that here – MLM Business Professional

The first essential element or quality that you must develop or possess for MLM business success has been called by many different names. The most accurate descriptions, I believe, would be philosophy or beliefs. I will use the term beliefs.

Essential Beliefs

  1. Responsibility – All right beliefs start from the viewpoint that we are responsible. There is no blame, criticism or complaining. By taking reponsibility we claim complete command of our results.
  2. Learn the Simple Principles  - All achievement in any area is mostly based on learning a few simple disciplines that have been proven to work by others. This belief allows you to seek out the ones that have achieved the results you seek, find the simple disciplines they used, and make them habits.

 Accepting these beliefs as fact, and making them a philosophy of life allows you to tap into some essential principles that have remained constant for thousands of years or more.

The Law of Cause & Effect states that “Everything happens for a reason; for every effect there is a specific cause.” To achieve anything, you only to find the cause reponsible for that effect.

Remember that thoughts are causes and conditions are effects. The first thing you must look at is your belief.

Learning the simple principles is a perfect example. This has been proven true throughout time. Finding those simple principles for your area of achievement gives you the cause.

For MLM business success, you need only execute them daily and to the best of your ability, continually improving, so that they become habit. The effect will inevitably occur.

This takes advantage of the principle of exponential growth. Daily consistent actions repeated as habit, while the intitial changes are almost invisible, eventually lead to massive exponential growth.

For the quickest and surest path to access, accept these two beliefs and make them your philosophy.

Take responsibility for every result or condition in your life. Understand that your beliefs become thoughts become words become actions which repeated become habits.

Making habits of those simple principles that others have all used to achieve what you want to achieve is the starting point for achieving the desired effect.

Regardless of whether you are starting an MLM business or any other goal, this is your starting point.  

Tomorrow we will discuss the second essential quality or element…

To your unbounded success and happiness in 2010 and beyond,
