If you are spending time on Facebook, it could be killing your business. So, what can you do about it?
Who you will be 5 years from now depends on the books you read, the webinars you watch, and the people you hang around with. How you spend your time!
It's so important to do some self development everyday. Learning something everyday will help you find success in the business you believed in enough to commit to. It takes 20 days to make a new habit, and you want your new habits to be successful and professional.
Everyday I make time to listen to a training webinar, or read a book. This has helped me step out of my comfort zones and grow as a leader. I learned the words to use, and the mindset and attitude to reach higher levels in my business.
Some of you are whining right now. I can HEAR YOU! You don't have time you say, life is so busy!
Life is busy for everyone. It's an excuse. If you've got time to play games on Facebook, if you've got time to watch 2 hours of TV at night, you have time to build your business. Listen to a webinar while doing dishes. While surfing. Read in the bathtub. Read for 10 minutes before bed. Read on your lunch hour. If you really want to get to higher levels in your network marketing business, and reap all the benefits of that compensation plan, you have to make some serious decisions. Cut out a Facebook game or two.
I found that using Facebook for BUSINESS is FAR more satisfying than playing on Farmville. I'm getting results and residuals in REAL life. I'm really reaping what I sow!
Then, we come to the people you are hanging out with. We've touched before on how some people are going to be negative, and what you should do with their influence in your life. (in former blog postings.) The next thing you need to do is take a look around you. I want you to think about the people you look up to. In business, in life. It can be people you actually know, or people in the media, or people in your upline. Successful people. People who, because they are successful, might even intimidate you a little.
Now, for those 20 days of developing a habit, I want you to get used to the idea that YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. Why? Because in your business, if you want to be successful, you need to already exude leadership. You need to be comfortable with other leaders, and you need to become a leader.
(again, I hear a few of you groaning in protest.)
I'm not talking about being snobby, I'm not talking about looking "down" on people. Those things are probably your perception of people who have power or are successful. I'm talking about realizing that all those people you look up to in your network marketing business are JUST people, just like you. So, why shouldn't your team, and your potential team mates look to you that way, as a leader?
I invite you to look ME up at Facebook, and see how I'm using it to grow my business instead of kill it.
Surround yourself with the people you want to become in 5 years. Start to think this way, start to take yourself SERIOUSLY as a leader, and you will one day realize that you've absorbed so much training and have learned so much and have so much to TEACH others, that you have truly and wholly become that leader.
Do you want to be right where you are in 5 years? Sitting in front of Facebook only thinking of the success you could have? Or would you like to come on over here, make some time to get some business training in, and be successful in business on your own terms? Imagine your Facebook status' then, my friend!
Committing to self development in your business is committing to your business.
