The X factor – the missing link to success in Network Marketing.
“So how do you really become successful? ………tell us your secrets”.
I often get this request when attending trainings around the world.
First of all – there is no ONE secret, but if there was one, it would be the “X factor”.
When I explain this to people, I can see in their faces that most of them are disappointed.
They thought I would give them the key to riches in a couple of sentences. Well actually I did, but they just didn’t get it.
Because let me tell you that the absolute biggest problem with people seeking success:
They are looking for the easy way out to achieve the extraordinary.
That my friend, is the recipe for failure.
I learned from one of my coaches that there are only two things and ONLY two things that will build your dreams. Would you care to know what they are? Ok here they are:
Choice and Commitment.
It’s only by making wise choices about our own actions and then committing to those actions.
that we can create a better future
Commitment is THE factor that will determine success or failure.
But what is a commitment? To me the definition of commitment is:
Something you will do no matter what, UNTIL……..it works.
Committed people are “dangerous”. You can recognize them by the way they walk, talk and hold themselves. There is nothing that can stop them and people respond differently to committed people than “normal” people.
Why do I say “normal” people instead of un-committed. Because I have found that about 95% of all people are not committed at all even though they say they are. So it’s pretty normal to be
un-committed.
So here is the crucial question: Are you in the 95% category ( normal ) or are you committed?
If you say you are committed, what price are you willing to pay to achieve your goals?
If you don’t know it or are unclear about it, chances are you will have a bumpy road ahead.
So I recommend that you sit down and write a list of all the challenges you may encounter
on the way to your dreams. And then; look at that list and commit to doing it even though
you may encounter all the things on that list.
What could such a list look like? Well here are just a few ideas:
>People will say no to you every day.
>People in your downline will give up and stop, just at the time you thought
they were going somewhere.
>Friends and family will think you are crazy AND announce it to the world.
>Your company may have bad press.
>YOU will feel like giving up.
Etc. etc. etc.
Looking at that list, are you still committed to continue working in the face of these challenges?
If not, you may as well just pack up your things right now and go home because you are not
going to make it. You may not like me for saying that, but I’m not in the business of making
friends, I am in the business of creating results.
We go into depth with this process in my coaching program and book
“Inevitable Success Formula” where together we create a roadmap and a vision
so clear that it is almost impossible not to reach your goals. But if you start doing
what I recommended above you will still be ahead of 80 % of the others in the industry.
The funny thing about commitment is that when you are willing to do almost anything to get
to your dreams – when you are willing to die for your dreams, then you start to get into the
flow and everything happens as it’s supposed to.
It is as if there are hidden powers that are put in place to stop uncommitted people from succeeding and help the people that have that level of unstoppable commitment.
When I made that decision of total commitment, my life changed literally overnight.
I started attracting people that wanted to partner with me and people that wanted to buy my products. It didn’t matter that I didn’t know everything about my products. I knew enough to believe 100 % that everybody deserved to hear about them.
So what is the X factor of success? It’s personal development, and of all the elements that have to
do with personal development, none is more important than being committed.
So to take the express train to success; GET committed STAY committed and NEVER quit.
And remember to always believe in your dreams and go for them every day.
