Something very important in any business, but specifically in direct sales is to stay committed. I've proven to myself that when I've gone through phases where I let things go with my business I didn't do so well. The only way any business will work, but especially direct sales, is if you keep working it. Keep promoting your business. Keep getting your name out there. Keep networking. Meet new people, catch up with old people, etc. The only way this kind of business will work is if you set your goals, set a plan, and work work work until you become successful. Many direct sellers are very successful. The reason they are successful is they stay committed to reaching their goals. In order to be successful, you have to stay committed to your success by staying committed to your business and to reaching your goals.
Probably one of the most important things to remember as a network marketer is that you control your future. You make the choice to live your life as you do or run your business as you do. Life's ups and downs and circumstances do not control the overall success of your business and life. You do. Circumstances may cause hiccups, but you must learn to get around those hiccups and make the most of them and turn things around in order to be successful. There will be things that go wrong in your life, but the best practice is to take them with a grain of salt and to move past them, learn from them, and don't let anything or anyone hold you back from success. Keep your head held high.
As a network marketer, belief in your success is very important to your business. It is always a good trait to be optimistic and positive. In the network marketing business, it is important to believe in yourself, your company, and your products. This is vital to your success as a network marketer and entrepreneur. A great way to keep your thoughts positive and optimistic is to follow others that are that way and to read motivational literature and quotes. I've always been drawn towards powerful quotes, but recently they have helped me to stay positive, optimistic, and encouraged to go after what I want in life. There are a couple of Social Media pages dedicated to these sorts of quotes and literature as well as SUCCESS Magazine. A simple Google search for motivational and/or inspirational quotes and/or texts will bring up a lot of material. I actually stumbled across several things by accident. I also follow successful representatives that are in my home business. If they can do it, then so can I and so can you. Just remember "You can do this!" You're The Little Engine that Could--"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." Good luck to all! Stay Positive!
The best thing that anyone can do is to be yourself. Be yourself when it comes to getting customers and team members (if your business also has a leadership component). Be yourself when meeting new people period. People will see through you if you are not genuine. Sure feel free to take ideas from other people, especially other people in your same home business company. The idea is to take their idea and make it your own. I do this all of the time, but I usually tweak it to put my own twist to it. Bottom line don't do something a certain way just because you are told by others to do it that way. Do something a certain way because you like doing that way and because it works. You need to feel comfortable in what you are doing to promote your business.
