One Of The Biggest Mistakes In Network Marketing
Hey this is Steve Fisher and today I have one of the most important topics I’ve ever shared. It is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in your network marketing business, or any business for that matter.
I want to share something with you that I shared last week when I was in New York and I got a tremendous response from it. It’s a mistake that’s made in network marketing that really should not be made. I always say network marketing can be compared to politics and religion in the sense of if you’re cutting off family members and relationships because of it, you’re making a mistake, you’re missing the boat. So, in network marketing, you may have seen this happen before or know someone who has done this, or maybe you’ve done it, but you see people who are so passionate about their network marketing business that they get upset with family or friends that don’t choose to do business with them for whatever reason… Either they don’t want to buy their product or they don’t want to get in the business. They get so upset that they literally break off the relationship. Guys, you don’t want to do that with your network marketing business.
First of all, I think it’s critical that you remember that you don’t need any one person. I shared this in New York when I was up there… I have friends today that have never joined me in my network marketing business and they’re still great friends today. They come over to my house for cookouts and we still get along great. The reason for that is because I value their friendship more than I need them in my business. I certainly share my business with them and I let them know that I want them on my team, but I also let them know that no matter what their decision is, it will not affect our relationship. Here’s what you have to understand, a lot of my best friends didn’t get in my business when I was getting started, they got in my business years down the road after I had already promoted to the top position in the company. So, NO doesn’t always mean NO. Sometimes it means not right now and in most cases it means they’re going to make you more money later. So don’t ever burn bridges or cut off relationships over your network marketing business. It’s not worth it. It’s not how you do business. They’ll respect you if you treat them like a friend, treat them like family and say, “Hey, it doesn’t matter, I just care that you get 100% of the information so you can make an educated decision.” Then you go on about the business of building your business! Understand, it’s not your family or your friend’s responsibility to make sure that you’re successful in your network marketing business. That’s YOUR responsibility. So you have to be the one that shows the way. You have to be the one that goes out there and makes it happen with or without any of your friends or family and start building a business, start doing what you have to do to build a team. Those who want to come with you will come with you and those who don’t won’t, but don’t let that affect your relationship.
I hope that helped you today. Have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon.
