Network Marketing is a proven business model that can lead to a fulfilling career and retirement style income. Before jumping aboard, one must consider the following:

1. Your Own Mindset:

A positive, determine, and focused mindset is a must. This not only applies to network marketing, but anything worth achieving in life. Not everyone is willing to go the extra mile. Having passion and taking focused action will keep your eye on the mark.

2. Have an Attitude:

A good mindset and a positive attitude go hand in hand. We must learn from the results of our experiences and not blame others for what we cannot control. It is up to us to chart our own course and control our own destiny. Our mindset, attitude, and actions are ours to decide.

3. The Opportunity:

Search for a strong team and sponsor focused on the business arena you are interested in, before joining the team. A strong sponsor will teach you all the right skills necessary to be successful and achieve your goals. The business model should be built on the principle of duplication. However, keep in mind that many people join these companies, but not everyone ultimately follows the system.

4. Ease of Duplicating the System:

A Traditional Network Marketing System –

Traditional MLM systems involve the following components:

-Make a friends and people you know list and contact them.

-Share DVDs, CDs, and brochures with anyone nearby.

-Buy Leads and cold call routinely.

-Attend regular seminars and invite prospects to be sold on the Network Marketing business model.

• Host home meetings.

-Train yourself to be numb to rejection.

You may ask, do people really make BIG money following these MLM practices? The answer is yes. But there are also many who don't and struggle with the requirements of talking to prospects, bring family and friends to seminars and functions, and cold calling.

Internet Network Marketing –

• Has become a growing alternative to the traditional network marketing business model.

• Doesn’t require contacting lists of family and friends.

• No routine meetings to attend.

-No cold calling.

-It does require marketing and channeling leads on auto pilot, as well as guiding these prospects into duplicating the same success on the Internet.

Whether you decide to become a part of a traditional or internet network marketing opportunity, make sure it's a good fit for you and that you have the right mindset and attitude!
