These are some deadly mistakes which you should know if you want to get into Network Marketing:
Trying to understand everything
If you are new in your business and you sit down for days (some even take weeks before they make their first phone call) trying out the product, reading all the company brochures, understanding every single calculation about the compensation plan, memorizing all the names of the management in the company (I think we get the idea)…
This is a VERY SLOW way to get started in your business.
Your business is like riding a bike
You don’t learn to ride by reading the best manual on riding
You don’t learn until the moment you start peddling
You learn by falling down
You also learn how not to fall down after falling down the first time
Reading every single book in the industry
Most MLMs recommend a reading list and they are very helpful for new people especially if the information is factual and informative about the industry. Reading is also a very good habit to develop. But one of the major mistakes of new people is thinking that the more books they read, the more money they are going to make! Those books are mostly self-help books or network marketing self-improvement.
Most newbies spend too much time reading books for a number of reasons
Overwhelmed by ignorance. Once again, trying to understand everything before going out there
Overwhelmed by fear. The paralysis causes them to retreat to their books without meeting people
Overwhelmed by frustration. They assume that after reading their first book, if they don’t achieve enough success, they get disheartened and feel the need for self-help more! They try another book. If they fail again, they will blame themselves again. Always remember: Books are subjective. It may work for the author but differently for another.
