I know people that buy new golf clubs every year, expecting the newest, most expensive set will make them a better golfer.

Is that how you run your MLM life?

But… is it the club?

Or is it the golfer that scores well?

Unfortunately, it’s wrong to expect that something external can cause significant changes when the same swing will get the same result!

This is the same affliction I have heard of countless times in network marketing.  People are quick to decide that all they need for success is something new.

Their old MLM company is – for some reason – not getting them what they are after.  The comp plan isn’t good enough.  The product is out dated.  There’s too many competing products.  There’s always an excuse.

The general theme of chaning business is this…

People are looking for an external cause of their failures!

Thus, they change the meaningless external influences to try to improve rather than change their own internal issues.

However, it’s internal tools and implementation – practice using them – that leads to success.

I’m absolutely certain that if I had the worlds best clubs, and gave Tiger Woods my grandfather’s 1970’s vintage clubs, he would still crush me!

What I’m getting at here – if you haven’t already guessed – is that the tools of success are not external.  Tiger has a better set of internal tools than any other golfer he plays against.   Those tools have made him successful.

That’s why there are people in MLM’s that are successful, regardless of the product or company. They have learned, practiced and implemented an internal set of tools that work.

It’s not the product or the comp plan that makes those top earners successful.  MLM top 3% earners have an internal set of tools that 97% of the industry does not, and THEY PRACTICE THEM DAILY!

And theyconstantly search for what can improve them even more!
They have done the same as you and I, failed or struggled with their business.   But they didn’t jump from one business to the next when they ran into hard times.

Can you imagine Tiger losing a couple tournaments when he was a junior and deciding to play baseball instead?  Losing a few games there, deciding to play football?  Take a couple hard hits and start playing tennis?

Not a chance!  He took the hard times and defeats and made them learning experiences upon which he grew and became stronger.

Even when Tiger was already the best in the world, it was not enough, and he re-tooled his swing and came back  even more dominant.  This is what a leader does!

Failure does not make a leader give up.  Any guess how many times Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy?  And he’s rich…again?

Leaders are created, but they are not created by external factors.  Leaders look inside and build themselves by finding resources from which to learn, including their experiences.

They don’t improve by blaming others…  they let the blame land on them and find a way to prevent the same thing happening again.

They accept their mistakes and move on.  They find coaches,  seek out people that have what they want to learn from.

It’s not the opportunity… it’s the internal system that makes the external lead system work!

How many books do you have on your shelf about network marketing?  How many CD’s from successful networkers?

If your shelves have more dust than content, it’s no wonder you’re in the 97% group.
Seek the knowledge that improves you, learn it, practice and apply it until it becomes second nature.
