Creating a list means making mistakes when you’re branching out on something new.
If Network Marketing is a field of business that interest you then making mistakes will become a close friend. There is no one out there in any field of work that hasn’t made a load of errors or mistakes.
The key thing to remember, the secret if you will, is that all success is a series of errors and mistakes.
Have you ever stopped and realized that a mistake is proof that you are doing something right. Take it one step further and realize that a string of mistakes leads you to successful leadership. Why is this true?
Have you ever been around when a small child is going from crawling to being able to walk. How many times has that child fallen on their behind or stumbled and hurt themselves? I guarantee more times than you can count and yet every child has been successful (given there is no disease or accident).
With this being said, you have the blue print for success, you already hold the key for moving toward what ever you want. There is a phrase that should be posted to your bathroom mirror -
Do It, Do It Now!
Creating a list of names of like minded people is a process of trial and error.
- You must decide what product or service you’re going to build around.
- Determine the demographics to target.
- Age group
- Income levels
- Hobbies/interest …
Now it’s time to determine how you will find these like minded people. I am sure you have heard of “your warm market”; those who are your friends, family, work associates, team members from sports and church members who you see regularly. These are the people you know.
I have determined there are two types of people. I call them
- PYK (People You Know)
- PYDK (People You Don’t Know)
These are also referred to as your circle of influence. You might guess you’ll have greater success with the first group at first however, the second group (PYDK) are your fields of dreams that will join and expand your (PYK) gold mine.
This trial and error process takes time and the amount of time is totally dependent on you.There are several elements that play part in your list building process. All of them co-exist in a fine balance that is continually attended too. You make mistakes, learn from them and take action again.
You will get to a point where you will have a level of success but it wont be where you want to be. This place is refer d to as a plateau or the invisible ceiling. What is happening at this point of your growth is you’re not able to notice the subtle changes that must take place.
You created the plateau, you are part of it and therefore can not see what needs to change or be put into place to rise to a newer level. These changes and/or actions are minuet and takes an external perception to perceive.
This is when a trainer or mentor is needed. A good trainer or mentor will not take you as an apprentice unless they see you are making mistakes.
If you’re not willing to make mistakes, who wants you on their team?
