Is Personal Development Necessary For The MLM Professional? (Essentials #3)
Is personal development necessary for the MLM professional? We’ve discussed before that MLM success is elusive for most, and that 97% of those who start an MLM business never show a profit.
We also covered in the last two articles how the right beliefs and clarity of vision are essential to having real MLM success.
I mentioned that there is one action and a skill set that you require to have as daily habits in order to really have exceptional success. For some this is well known, and for others it is a well kept secret.
There have always been two businesses in network marketing. One involves your actual company or product, or network marketing. The other is the industry of personal development.
What is important to realize that continuous learning and personal development have always been inextricably linked to success in any field or endeavor, not just to being a successful MLM professional.
Brian Tracy and others have often talked of the many studies done of CEO’s, entrepreneurs, millionaires and billionaires, and what common themes are found in their success. Here is great Brian Tracy article on this for your reference -
Personal Development & Reading For Success
One of the most important commonalities is that leaders are readers. The average person in the USA reads less than 1 book per year and earns $20,000 per year, while the average CEO reads about 50 books per year and earns $1,000,000 per year.
Every top producing MLM professional I have heard speak or had on a call/webinar has agreed that those who have exceptional success, whether in six months or six years, have something in common.
They all invest a great deal of time, effort, money and energy into personal development and continuous learning.
A commitment to daily improvement in their skill sets and mindset is the one essential daily action that virtually every massive success at an MLM business has in common.
This action is not a new skill you require to learn, just something you must accept as a belief and then commit to make a daily habit through repetition.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, make a commitment to daily personal development and continuous learning to insure MLM success (or any type of achievement for that matter).
In fact, if you do not have the right beliefs, clarity of vision and a great self-image you may be well advised to begin work on your personal development even before you start your business.
My sponsor actually did years of intensive daily personal development before starting his current MLM business, and has blown the world of internet network marketing wide open, achieving a fantastic level of MLM success in just five months.
Many people work for five years or more at their MLM business, never achieving his level of success.
As for myself, I had been getting more and more committed to personal development for many years prior to getting in this industry.
I have a blog and website that consistently rank around the top 1% of websites for traffic globally, with no prior experience in internet network marketing and very little knowledge of network marketing, before I started.
I credit a huge portion of my MLM success thus far to personal development and continuous learning.
The access to, and commitment to, such fantastic personal development and continuous learning as I receive through my current MLM business has been integral in my success.
I have moved from corporate professional to MLM professional, and would never go back.
A lot of people don’t make it based on their mindset, and having habits of daily personal development really helps with that issue.
So far we have the two qualities or elements – right beliefs and clarity of vision. We also have the one daily action of personal develpoment - continuous learning.
Lastly, we have a skill set that is important to develop above all others, for any aspiring MLM professional. The action this skill set represents is the king of actions in your MLM business.
We’ll cover that one tomorrow…
