5 Steps to Destroy Fear & Build Confidence in Your Life

Recently while reading through "The Magic of Thinking Big", I found these five little steps anyone could do to gain more confidence in their life and destroy fear. It was so powerful, and yet so simple!

We all face time that more confidence would make the difference between having what you want and not having it. It may show up for you as fear, or simple lack of action. Its that thing you know you should do but are stopped for some reason.

Here are 5 Steps and Practices that will work for you -

1. Action cures fear. Isolate your fear and then take constructive action. Inaction--doing nothing about a situation strengthens fear and destroys confidence. Pick one thing you are putting off or avoiding, where you know fear has a grip and take at least one action today.

2. Make a supreme effort to put only positive thoughts in your memory bank. Don't let negative, self deprecatory thoughts grow into mental monsters. Simply refuse to recall unpleasant events or situations. Pick a positive experience from your life (search for it if you have to), one where you felt good. Stop and think about it, relive it in your mind, recall every detail….dwell in it.

3. Put people in proper perspective. Remember people are more alike, much more alike than they are different. Get a balanced view of the other fellow. He is just another human being. And develop an understanding attitude. Many people will bark but it's a rare one who bites.

4. Practice doing what your conscience tells you is right. This prevents a poisonous guilt complex from developing. Doing what's right is a very practical rule for success.

5. Make everything about you say, I'm confident really confident. Practice these little techniques in your day to day activities. Try them and see they make a difference for you.

a. Be a front seater – in church, school or next meeting

b. Make eye contact – look people in the eye.

c. Walk 24 percent faster – you may be supprised.

d. Speak up – make it a point to say something constructive or ask a question.

e. Smile big - it makes a difference.

Make a commitment to put these steps into practice. Please let me know how it goes. (remember 5-d above!!)

Internet Success is A Marathon Not A Sprint

Listening to one of my favorite audios in the car earlier this week, he reminded me of a very important business fact. It applies doubly to online business and internet success.

What he said was that success is a marathon and not a sprint.

We all know this, but sometimes it's important to remind ourselves and really take it to heart. In today’s fast paced world of instant gratification and immediate feedback.

We want everything right now. Just look at video games, movies "on demand", and online anything. Instant gratification is the name of the game and the marketers know it. With the internet, they'll even deliver anything they can instantly. (ebooks, movies, and special access areas.)

We are bombarded by messages that tell use that this or that is the instant solution to whatever problem we need solved. Why? IT WORKS!!! We are called to action, and we take it with our plastic card or paypal account.

As sellers, we can use this to our advantage, but when buying we must realize that no matter what we're being told their will be WORK involved.

I've bought and tried just about anything and everything online that promises to help me make money quickly and guess what? Mostly it's good information, but none of it has lead to instant wealth in my life. The experiences gained while trying all these different things has given me a hard earned education. Actually it is this experience over time along with the information that turns into revenue.

We all know if you treat your business like a sprint and jump into every business opportunity thinking that if you just get in early and push hard that money will fall in your lap, you'll fail every single time. Rather real success online or with network marketing comes from consistent and persistent focused effort aimed towards your ONE goal! A goal that is different for each of us.

For instance, Internet network marketing is my chosen niche for a reason. I love the speed of results that can be created in an online world, but I equally love the security and financial freedom that a strong and thriving network marketing organization affords.

I know that if I can master both internet and network marketing that I will be able to grow a large thriving network marketing organization FASTER than if I do it solely offline. (I've done the off line thing for a long time.)

Even at this, I know that it's a marathon and not a sprint.

So stop and ask yourself right now . . . Are you committed enough to your business and your future that you would devote the next 3 to 5 years of your life to it to see big results? To achieve internet success.

Network marketing can give you more freedom in your life than you can ever imagine if you just approach it as a marathon and not a sprint. The dream is true and its there if you want it. You have to give your time and your passion to your business and your organization.

Rome was not built in a day and neither will your network marketing financially free lifestyle no matter what THEY say! Remember it is a marathon not a sprint.

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR NEW RECRUIT!

Portions of one of my recent articles:

Retention is one of the keys to Internet Marketing Success or the success of most any business for that matter. It takes the most time and effort to attract and recruit members into your group....let's make sure we keep as many as we can.

Here is a common question asked of most sponsors:

"I've got a new sign up in my business, now what do I do? How do I make sure I keep them?"
This always makes me smile. Smile because of my excitement for them but also in part because this question reveals how green this new team member is.

Pay close attention to what I'm about to say. Some of what I am about to reveal may shock you and some of
it will prove to be just common sense.

Let me start by saying if I knew the definitive answer to this question I'd be a billionaire right now.

I think one of the biggest mistakes that we all make as human beings in our daily lives is that we try to take responsibility for things that are truly out of our control and when they don't turn out how we expect we blame ourselves. If we could each just rid ourselves of this unneeded burden I think we'd all live a much happier and fuller life.

I've fallen victim to this thought pattern myself and I receive emails from people that fall victim everyday.

We all do it.

In my case, in my last network marketing experience, I put out a whole lot of effort and cash out and didn't receive the reward I expected. I blamed myself. I thought that it was ALL my fault when in reality my success or failure in this situation only partially had to do with ME. I'm not saying you aren't responsible for your own success.

I assumed that I just wasn't good enough. I was putting out all this effort so I thought how come IT wasn't working?
It must be me. Well, the truth is it takes two to tango as they say. My leads weren't biting not only because of me, but also because the business opportunity that I was leading them to was confusing and didn't appeal to them. (Which I didn't see at the time.)

Some of the blame should have been placed on the shoulders of the company and the way that I was taught to interact
with my leads, but while in the situation the natural assumption is to blame yourself. I'll tell you right now if you're not having the sort of success that you want to have it's NOT all your fault, so let that weight on your shoulders go.

I know your thinking. . . what does this have to with retention in your network marketing business? Well it speaks exactly to the question of retention. Whether or not your new team member stays or goes it's NOT your fault. (Unless you actively make efforts to drive them away)

Think about it like this . . .Every decision you or I make is OUR decision and no other person can change our mind once that decision is final. If you choose to leave your current business is there anything that your upline could do to keep you once your decision is final?

Well it works the same way with your recruits. Ultimately they make the decision of whether or not to stay or go. There is no magic formula to retaining your entire team. And although ultimately you can't control who stays or leaves your network marketing team there are some things that you can do increase your retention.

While there are no guarantees, if you do these things and people still leave your team it's NOT your fault and there
is nothing more that you could have done to retain them.

So how do you increase your team's retention rate?

1. Get people moving right from the beginning

As soon as someone new comes into your team give them something to do. Get them active in their business. This is important because it keeps them interested and starts their momentum. The first thing that I tell all of my team members to do is download a copy of our team marketing guide. Read it. Mark it up with questions. Get aquainted with the product. Right out some questions that they may have and then get back to their sponsor to set up a game plan.

This is a good route to take because it makes each person accountable for their own success and it will quickly show
you who's serious and who's not. (The people that get back in touch with their sponsor are SERIOUS.)

2. Be there.
The next thing that you can do for your team to keep them active is just be there. Give them your contact info and let them know when it's acceptable for them to call you with questions and for advice and then be there during that time frame.

3. Hold yourself accountable

If you make a mistake or you don't hold to a time commitment own up to your mistake, make good on it and apologize. We're all human and we all make mistakes. This will also show your team how to behave when they make a mistake. Its not about blaming yourself, or someone else. Its about growing and getting better.

4. Motivate

One of the most powerful ways to keep your team is to help motivate them. There are several ways to do this, but here
are a few.

If I have a success or if I try something new and it works well I make sure to let the whole team know. For instance,
when I first started when I would run a successful ad campaign I gave my team all the details of what I did, how I
did it, and how they could do it to.

If I have a team member that has success I try to let the whole team know. If anyone on the team is doing great I make
sure to send an email out with a case study. I know I like it someone highlights me as a success so it's good to pay it
forward as much as possible. It motivates the team member with the success and lets the others know they can do it too.

You don't have to have all the answers or be perfect, but as long as you let your team know that you are there and you
are doing all that you can to help them be more successful you will start to create a community of like minded individuals.

Send your team emails that give them your thoughts, your ideas for success, and your passion and they will see that your
cause is more than just money.
5. Create a community

The most important thing that you can do to help maintain and increase your team's retention rate is to foster a sense of community. Once you create a community around you both above and below, you realize that you have much more than a business - you have a thriving community of individuals that are all striving for the same goal. And know that many people have a strong need to belong to something.

As a team we do weekly team online conferences where we all can all interact personally. One of my team leaders even
started a forum! Anything you can do to foster a sense of community will pay for itself in spades over the life of your business.

So when I am asked the question . . .

" I just got a new sign up how do I make sure they stay?"

I reply . . .

Support them and share anything you can to help them to be successful and if you've done this you can't worry about whether or not they stay or go.

The people that should end up on your team do and that's the magic of it all.
