<p>So, just what is this formula for a <a href="http://enlightenednetworker.com/1015/committed-network-marketing-business/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">successful network marketing business</span></a>?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been said, that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">our habits predict our future</span>. I believe that to be true. How about you?</p>
<p>Have you ever noticed that the more you do something the better you get at doing it? You can take anything in life and you will see that there is actually some truth to it.</p>
<p><strong>Remember when you first learned to ride a bike? </strong></p>
<p>You were wobbly. You knuckles turned white because you were holding on to those handle bars for dear life. You prayed that your dad (or mom, or whoever was holding on to the bike to keep you stable and give you support) wouldn&#8217;t let go.<span id="more-1095"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">You practiced every day and every day you got better</span>. And then came the day when you were practicing again, and you turned around and there was nobody holding on to you anymore. You were riding that bike all by yourself.</p>
<p>At first that scared you and may have caused you into &#8216;wobbling mode&#8217; for just a few seconds. But then you regained your confidence and you were enjoying the ride. A proud feeling of accomplishment came over you. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You did it!</span></p>
<p>Now when you get on a bike you don&#8217;t even think about what you are doing. It&#8217;s just automatic.</p>
<p><strong>It can be the same in your network marketing business. </strong></p>
<p>You may be totally overwhelmed, pulled into different directions. Everybody and their brother telling you what to do and how to do it. (<em>You’re in wobbling mode.)</em></p>
<p>But when you get really down to it, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">it&#8217;s quite simple</span>. Just like riding a bike. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Focus on the basics</span>.</p>
<p>There are certain tasks that you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">must</span> accomplish every day in order to reach your goal of running a <a href="http://enlightenednetworker.com/1015/committed-network-marketing-business/" target="_blank">successful network marketing business</a>. Some of them may be new to you and may require a certain amount of practice. But by practicing them every day, you will get better.</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.&#8221; ~ </em></strong><strong>Zig Ziglar<em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>So what&#8217;s the formula for a successful network marketing business?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Identify the tasks you absolutely have to do every day in order to move your business forward.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do them</span> in order of priority. (Life happens, so do the most important tasks first, just in case.)</li>
<li>Practice those tasks that need perfecting.</li>
<li>Rinse and repeat</li>
</ol>
<p>Stick to that formula no matter what. Put your blinders on if you have to in order to keep from getting distracted. I know there are many distractions out there. All I have to do is open my email inbox and there are tons of them&#8230;But&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Repeating important activities that move your business forward on a daily basis is the key to a successful network marketing business.</strong></p>
<p>They say it takes 21 days to form a habit.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how they came up with 21 days but it seems to work. So write down what you need to do every day. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do it for 21 days and see what happens</span>. <em>(Of course keep going after that.) </em>There is power in positive habits.<em><br />
</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Just keep your focus right on your target and you will get there</span>.</p>
<p>Bye for now, I&#8217;ve got to go do some rinsing and repeating.</p>
<p>To your successful network marketing business,</p>

<p>We all have certain tasks that we should be doing on a daily basis. But for some reason or another we don’t.</p>
<p>Deep down we know that doing these tasks would not only help us become a better network marketer but they would also greatly improve our business skills.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>There’s a great story about a young comic who met Jerry Seinfeld.</strong></p>
<p>He asked him if he had any tips on how to improve his jokes as he was still learning the ropes.</p>
<p>The answer Seinfeld gave him was genius, not for the fact that he told the young comic to write every day (which he already knew), but because he told him<span id="more-549"></span> to write every day, even if he didn’t feel like it.</p>
<p>Seinfeld then went on to reveal his own secret technique that he uses to stay motivated and pressure himself to write every day.</p>
<p>He told the young man to get a calendar that shows a whole year on one page and hang it on a wall where he can see it. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.</p>
<p>Then he told him that for each day he does his task of writing, he should put a big red X over that day.  After a view weeks he’d see a chain and that chain would grow longer and longer. He said, “you’ll like seeing that chain especially after you get a few weeks under your belt.  Your only job next is not to break that chain.”</p>
<p><strong>“Don’t break the chain.”</strong></p>
<p>What a great psychological motivator. It get’s you keep going because you start to like seeing that chain unbroken. And so, tasks that may be difficult for you (or boring)  but beneficial for your business will get much more exciting and the chances increase that you’ll actually do them.</p>
<p>I will try that out.   How about you? There are a few tasks I should be doing on a daily basis. But for some reason it&#8217;s more like a hit and miss.</p>
<p>Oh,  in case you are wondering why I titled this post “How To Become A Better Network Marketer  … In Less Than 30 Days.”  Because I don’t think you would like to break your chain of X’s after a couple of weeks, would you?<br />
(You can download a printable calendar. Just google <em>printable calendar</em>.)</p>
