The One Belief You Must Have
February 22, 2009
There is one belief that is central to your ability to effectively build your network marketing business and ultimately achieve a long-term residual income.
It isn’t just a belief in network marketing, your company, your products, and yourself. You probably have an intellectual belief in all of these things. It really is a combination of all your beliefs rolled into one.
Here is a test – imagine talking to two different people. Picture yourself meeting a stranger, and a friend from school you haven’t seen in a few years.
Imagine that this person asks you the following question:
“So, what do you do for a living?”
Since you are probably serious about building your business, you’ll want to lead off with that, right?
“I’m an entrepreneur and success coach with XYZ MLM Company. I help people who want to achieve financial independence working from home”.
Imagine yourself saying that. How do you feel when you say it? Do you feel…
- awkward?
- hesitant?
- afraid to say it?
- silly?
If anything like that crosses your mind, you do have some issues with what you’re doing, and why. You see, if you really want to achieve success with a network marketing business, you have to be completely sold on what you’re doing. You have to believe that you’re on the right track doing the right thing.
Unfortunately, many people new to MLM and network marketing have just a surface (intellectual) belief in their business and purpose, without the deep emotional belief that is necessary to drive success.
If you see yourself here, and really want to have success with your business, take time to examine your beliefs about your opportunity and why you’re involved. I strongly suggest you go upline and find successful leaders and ask for their help.
Success in network marketing requires a certain mindset – and it can be achieved by anyone who really wants it.
Thank you for writing this. It is an awesome article and so truthful. I think a lot of people feel ashamed to say that they are in network marketing. But it is a business just like any other. I don’t believe there is anything wrong with wanting to better your future. I hope this helps others to believe in themselves and what they are doing. You are right anyone who wants it can have the right mindset to achieve it!
I enjoyed reading this, thanks again.

What people are looking for in this economy is a sense of community and a chance to get ahead. I advise my clients and friends to check out network marketing. It is an opportunity that can be very rewarding for those that are willing to work and earn their money. For those that are lazy, it is just an easy way to waste time and money.
Rhonda, I appreciate the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the post!
Michael, you hit a good point – people are looking for a sense of community. Not only to make money, but to be a part of something greater. Thanks for sharing!
