Early in my network marketing career, I heard a successful networker say "the battle is for the mind".  She was a former IT person turned professional network marketer.  She and her husband were leading one of the largest teams in that company. 

You know the saying "network marketing is personal development with a compensation plan attached"  I have found that to be true, and the benefits can be extremely lucrative.  

Before you can have any measure of success in business, you need to work on your mindset.  It begins with your decision to be successful and be the leader people are looking for.  A positive mindset is critical to the success of your business.

As you embark on your network marketing journey, you must take full responsibility for your own results.  You cannot put your success in the hands of your upline, downline, or sideline, and then pass blame when things don’t turn out as you had expected.

The fact is network marketing is NOT easy and if it was, everyone would be doing it, right?  There is
no such thing as “overnight success” or “easy riches”.  Your success may take you months or even years – you never know when your breakthrough is going to come and things happen for you.

Moreover, your path to success will not be free of obstacles and challenges. In fact, there are bumps and setbacks in everyone’s life and career.  Successful people encounter challenges all the way to the top and they turn those challenges into opportunities.  It takes a winning mindset to overcome the challenge and see the potential of your business.

So, it’s important to develop mental toughness. When you come across obstacles and challenges, you will need extra motivation, full commitment, total determination, extra drive, patience and persistence to overcome them. 

Are you up for the battle?
