Network Marketing Success Tips, Your Success Does Not Depend Upon A Guru

Everywhere you turn it seems that there is another self proclaimed guru telling you they have what you need to make you successful in your life and in your network marketing business. If you just follow their system exactly, success will find you, but if you deviate at all, success will elude you. And with the prevalence of such advertising on the Internet and in the media, it’s easy to believe that you must find a guru to follow and that only by following a guru will you be successful. It’s all a load of baloney.

The truth is that no one else can ever make you successful — your success is ultimately up to you.

You must be willing to become your own guru.

There’s a saying that goes something like this: “In order to learn how to dance, you have to dance”. The only way for you to get good at something is to actually do it and to keep doing it repeatedly. There is no other way to gain the experience and to craft your own unique style that ultimately works for you. Success is a personal thing.

There is nothing wrong with finding a mentor or a coach to help guide you, but beware of the one who claims he has the magic dust you need in order to make you successful. More importantly, beware of the tendency to sucker yourself into believing your success depends upon anyone else and what they may claim to know. Your success only comes down to you and your own willingness to get out there and start dancing.

In network marketing, the most successful people are rarely if ever the so called gurus. The gurus may do a great job selling you their training systems, but they are not normally the ones with large, successful and enduring organizations. They’re too busy teaching their “system” which almost without exception adds extra complexity to what is inherently a simple business. And by adding complexity, it reduces the duplication within your team.

If you find yourself having little or no duplication in your business, or little success in terms of your own results, the bottom line is that you are guilty of a couple of things. You are making it too complicated which turns people away from wanting to get started with you. And you are spending too much time intellectualizing how to dance rather than actually dancing.

I need look no further than my own results to see that this is true. I’ve always had the tendency to want to enhance my credibility and to hold people by the hand to walk them through their start up and training. Yet time and time again, I discover that the more I focus my energy in that direction, the fewer results I see and the less people are proactive to just go out and “do it” for themselves.

The people who duplicate success on our team are always the ones who just “get out on the dance floor” and start dancing. They are the ones who don’t attempt to intellectualize everything and instead just get out there and figure it out. Our strongest personal successes come have always come the same way – where we’ve just gotten out on the floor, started dancing, and figured it out.
