Beware the j.o.b. and it's not what you think . . .

This is NOT another message about what makes network
marketing so great. It's not about how the everyday
average ex bike courier with asthma can start a
business before going to work and a few years later be
financial independent due to network marketing and the
Internet.

You already know that. This message is about something
much more subtle and it's probably at work negatively
effecting your business right now and you don't even
know it.

It's this . . .

Most network marketers tend to take the j.o.b.
mentality to their business and it kills everything
dead.

You have a split second of thinking like an
entrepreneur, just long enough to join, and then you
slip back into the job comfort zone. You look for
someone to GIVE you a task to do that they say will
grow your business.

Dangerous at the least, but more than that it's lazy.

In the job you get paid for hours worked and so you
tend to log the amount of time you put into your
business correlating it to the amount you should be
earning which is wrong.

This is a lazy and a weak path of thinking when it
comes to your business because it's not about hours
logged it's about how effectively you use the time you
do work.

Why should you work 10 hours when 1 get's the job done?

To be busy for the sake of being busy is an old hold
over habit from the job. You can quickly fool yourself
into thinking you're getting somewhere in your business
by looking at the hours logged, when really you're
doing nothing but busy work for the sake of doing busy
work.

Not lazy in the sense of action, but lazy in the mind
is what I'm talking about here. To do things just to do
them because they make you FEEL like you're getting
somewhere is not going to get you anywhere.

I promise. I tried.

Businesses don't work like this, but before I labour
that point I want to tell you a misconception I had
about network marketing that I've never seen anyone
speak to or about.

A change in perspective that is priceless if
understood.

Most get into network marketing for the dream of money
and time freedom. They hold, and I held this belief as
well, that at some point they can just quit and retire.

That's why they got into the business anyways right?

Wrong!

Again another hold over mental habit from the job . . .

Retiring is a work related concept that is built on the
idea that you're spend most of your time doing
something you don't want to be doing and if you just
save up enough you'll be able to free yourself from
that boring and uninteresting existence.

Well, if you carry this idea over to your network
marketing business, and I did for a while, you start to
think about your network marketing business like a job
in the deepest sense.

Sure there are tasks to be done, but it ain't a job for
sure.

What's wrong with carrying this into your network
marketing business is that in holding this notion the
very essence of what your doing in your business is
aimed at trying to get OUT of the business eventually
because it's NOT what you want to be doing.

Do you both see how subtle and how destructive this can
be for you and the long-term survival of your business?

You thinking in a framework of going from a job you
don't want and want freedom from to a business you
don't necessarily want and want freedom from is not
solving the problem.

You're always trying to escape your current situation.

That's not where success lives. It lives in the place
where you love what you do and don't count down the
days until you can quit. It lives in the place where
you're your moving towards the thing you do, not
constantly trying to escape it.

This took me a while to see in myself and maybe it's a
thought enough for pause in you.

Do you see yourself in your business 10 years from now,
loving every minute of it because it doesn't hold you
back it breaths life into your days instead of taking
your breath away?

I do.

Why? My business takes very little active time, I can
go away for a while and relax, the money keeps flowing
regardless and every action I take in my business is
doing something I love to do and brings results without
limits (except my own of course).

Pull yourself away from doing drudging work and put
yourself into a situation where you love sitting right
in the thick of it and that my friend is where you will
find your greatest success, not only in business, but
in life.



The internet has been the most valuable tool to allow
me to sit in such a position, a position where money,
leads, and recruits flow in abundance, a position
filled with exciting, unlimited, and fun possibilities
for growth, and it can be yours to. Here's how:
