FEAR is defined as an unpleasant emotion cause by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.
We all have a fear of something. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of the dark, fear of other’s leaving us and so on. We all have experienced fear at one time or another.
97% of the people who get into network marketing fail. Most of these people fail not because they have the wrong MLM company, poor up line support or even crappy leads. Most people fail in network marketing because they simply don’t have enough motivation to drive them to do the actions they need to do in order to succeed.
Fear of failure is a huge one for most people who are stepping out of their comfort zone to start-up in network marketing. How does one find the cause of the fear of “failure”? First we need to understand what it is that “failure” actually means.
Definition of FAILURE
1 a : omission of occurrence or performance; specifically : a failing to perform a duty or expected action
2 a : lack of success
b : a failing in business : bankruptcy
What is it that you are afraid of? Failing in your approach to other’s about your “opportunity” to make a residual income and change their lives for the better? Fear of not saying the right things to people? Fear of failing period!! One can only fail at what they are trying to do when they quit trying!
Debits, health, family and work environments can add to the stress we fell in our fears that lead us to failure. How can we overcome our fear of presenting our business opportunity to others?
- Practice in front of a mirror, see yourself actually talking to a person about your opportunity and be passionate, enthusiastic and smile. Learn to master your reaction to yourself in front of the mirror and speaking to others will become a natural habit.
- Exercise! Oh I know that is something most of us don’t really want to do. Exercise releases endorphin’s, endorphin’s make us happy. Happy people don’t go around fearing everything in life and worry about it too.
- Motivation is what keeps us moving forward towards the finish line. Like a racer who is at the starting line and see’s themselves at the finish winning the prize.
Fears are real and they can be overcome. Speak to your sponsor in your network marketing business, let them know what you’re afraid of. If they won’t help you realize your full potential then move onto someone who will!
There are people like myself willing to guide you and keep you motivated to move in the right direction of success.
As Always,
Gain The Advantage!
