#2 Attend Your Company Meetings, personal development, business building, and master mind seminars. Get in person coaching. You've heard that saying that you are a direct result from the people you hang around. Hang around people earning 50,000 a month in this industry even if it’s just to breathe near them. Something will rub off on you. You may pick up pointers they say over dinner. Or, you may just get so pissed off that you're not influencing as many people as they are and you’ll finally start learning and doing the things you need to do in order to Become the Leader You Already Are. You may realize that there is nothing different between you and them except a skill set and resolve.
So you can’t afford it. Yes, there are some people with no credit, no income, and no one to borrow from, but most of you have the money for training. It’s the dress you bought but never wore. It’s a night out on the town with the boys. It’s in a starbucks register (I gave it up when I first started and You Can Too). It’s in the 11th picture frame you bought this month because it was cute. I’ve gone to seminars where I had no idea where I was getting the money with no credit card to finance it. I had an idea and got there. I also sponsored my first person ever after attending my first home based business seminar (it had never happened before). (Smile)

Stop Selling Your MLM Products!
First a little story...
When I was 22 (about 10 years ago, for a time line) I went to a psychic in Adam's Morgan a neighborhood in Washington, D.C. and even though I had my head set on being a rock star (that's how I introduced myself to anyone and everyone), this lady said I'd end up being a teacher. Now, I was really upset by this and said she was crazy. But I did ask her, "what about being a great singer/songwriter because well, I know that is what I'm supposed to do. It's what God put me here for! It comes naturally for me and I'm good at music!" She said, "I never said you weren't going to be that. I just said you'd end up being a teacher." This psychic lady was weird as far as I was concerned and oh my gosh is she crazy. Both of my parents were teachers and I didn't even like kids, when I was a kid nor did I want a profession with a salary cap! Classroom teachers, as far as I was concerned was for people who have a passion for teaching and love kids! Needless to say, I never went back to a psychic ever again. All I wanted her to tell me was when I was gonna be a famous singer--- Seriously.
It was not until two or three months ago that I thought about "my psychic visit." My Gosh, the lady was right! I've become a teacher (with no salary cap)....not in the classroom, but of marketing and business building. Yes, I have plenty to learn. That's why I buy books, watch videos, and take courses on marketing and personal development. I've spent entire weeks learning things that I have no idea how I will use the information, but that I will need it. It's not about waiting to do something till you know it all, can do it all right, and can afford everything; it's just about getting it going. There is a saying that goes….who learns more than the student, the teacher. You know more about attraction marketing by reading this blog than 95% of network marketers out there and they are looking for you!
When you were new to network marketing industry or a newbie at your job, didn't you look to someone for guidance? Didn't you ask someone for help? Weren't you looking for someone to "teach you?" Yes, you were. If you weren't then I'm sure you didn't last long in that company or at that job. The most prominent people in every profession have teachers, trainers, and mastermind groups to take them to the next level (even if they are considered the best in their fields).
You are a Teacher. You are an Information Provider. You are not a distributor for XYZ Company. Provide people with information that helps them solve whatever issue your MLM company's products provide. People will come running to the person (and their products) providing answers about their weight issues, digestion issues, travel needs, online marketing issues, etc and You get the picture Now.

#1 of 7 Tips for the Newbie Networker
Don't Quit. It is the only sure way you will fail. People will say no. Your family and friends may think you are stupid and crazy. You will sponsor people and never hear from them again. You will want to quit. You will think this is too hard. I hate to tell you that I let one of these things affect me for 6 months. Even though I was told stuff like this happens, I still got emotionally attached to people and my business. Just say NO! Get over it. Know why you decided to start in the industry go to work. Decide this is your chosen field then decide to put yourself through MLM University no matter what the cost. You, your dreams, your family are worth it. Remember, the Universe is watching and will grant you your wishes if she likes what she sees.
