4 Simple Steps to Success in Network Marketing (And Anything Else in Life

What does it take to become a network marketing success story? What does it take to be successful in anything in life? This is the 20 million dollar question to which everyone is seeking the answer. I have been successful in many things during my 51 years of life, and unsuccessful at probably just as many. Through it all, I have learned one thing: There are no tricks. There are no shortcuts to success. This is true with anything that is worth accomplishing in life, and it is particularly true in network marketing.
I often speak with people who are looking to start a home-based network marketing business. I generally take this opportunity to have a very frank and honest conversation with them about what it takes to be successful in this industry. More times than not, they are looking for something easy, quick, and free and it's the last time I hear from them.
No, there are no shortcuts to success in network marketing, but I have found that there is a simple 4-step process that, when used correctly can greatly increase your chances at becoming a network marketing success story and, for that matter just about anything in life. It's an easy to understand formula that must be followed sequentially to be effective.
Step One: Acquire Knowledge. You cannot do anything in life without knowledge, and this is particularly true in marketing. Most people do not come into network marketing with prior prospecting and marketing experience, and there are many new things to learn. The first step in the process is KNOWLEDGE, to learn something new that will help you grow your business, something that will help you get more prospects, drive more traffic to your website, or help you learn to relate to these prospects more effectively.
Step Two: Implement What You Have Learned. The second step is to take your newfound knowledge and take action. If you studied a new marketing method, set up a new marketing campaign implementing what you have learned. If you have been studying skills on prospecting, begin utilizing these new skills when talking to prospects and observe the results. The key in Step Two is to TAKE ACTION.
Step 3: Analyze Your Efforts. This is the KEY step in the process that many network marketers miss (or avoid). Analyzing your results from Step 2 will help you understand what worked and what didn't. But even more importantly, it will give you a solid direction on where to make improvements in the future. Without this step, you will have no direction on which to base future attempts. Rather, like many marketers you will simply be "shooting in the dark" and even worse, spending money without direction. When this happens, failure is imminent.
Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3. Based on what you've learned from your previous attempts, it's quite possible you'll need to learn more in order to be successful. Go back to Step 1 and learn what's needed. Incorporate that into a revised marketing strategy (Step 2) and analyze the results of this new effort (Step 3). Continue doing this until you have mastered this marketing or prospecting strategy.
Many if not most network marketers fall off the wagon at Steps 1 or 2. Most are willing to learn something new and are excited about starting. Some will never get past the first step, as learning something new becomes tedious and boring to them. Others will learn and even take action, implementing what they've learned. But once they see that their results were not what they expected, they fail to analyze their efforts and learn from their failures. Their efforts end at Step 2.
Only the people who continue
