WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SUCCEED AT  NETWORKING WHERE OTHERS DON’T? 

How about you?  Are You Successful at making money or unsuccessful?

I’ve talked to people and hear the same thing over and over.  “No matter what I do, nothing ever works for me.”  If you are involved in a business and you are not making money, there IS a reason for it.

HERE’S WHY YOU MAY NOT BE SIGNING UP ANYONE IN ANY BUSINESS YOU ARE IN!

1. LACK OF PERSISTENCE

Business-minded people who are successful tend to fall down and get back up.  They do that over and over until they get it right and even then they are always trying to improve even when something works for them.  Successful people persist even when things don’t initially work for them.

2. LACK OF PATIENCE

Business-minded people who are successful realize that Rome was not built in a day. They realize that building a business is a process and not an event.  It takes time to get a business started and it takes even longer to get a business working based on trying different methods and strategies.  I have a “P” word formula that goes like this:  Profits = Patience Plus Persistence

3. LACK OF FOCUS

Business-minded people who are successful focus heavily on their business until they get it so it is working for them.  They consume themselves in the business to get it started and working for them.

4. DOING THE WRONG THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS

Successful business-minded people understand that if their approach or business-building strategy isn’t working, they know to try a different strategy or approach.  What may work for one person may not work for another.  Successful people try enough different strategies until they find something that works for them.

5. LACK OF DESIRE TO LEARN

Successful business-minded people realize that building a business requires more than just “wanting” to build a business.  They know it requires learning and educating oneself about the business and the industry.

6. LACK OF BELIEF IN ONESELF

Successful business-minded people believe in themselves to the point they become determined to overcome any challenges along the way.  “I can” rather than “I wish”.

7. LACK OF BELIEF IN YOUR CHOSEN BUSINESS

Successful business-minded people have and keep a belief in their chosen company even when things may be slow or appear to not be working.

8. LACK OF A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Business-mined people who are successful have a positiv
e attitude with an attitude of “I can” even when times get tough.

9. NOT COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE THUS SHORT CUTTING THE BUSINESS-BUILDING PROCESS

Successful business-minded people know that short cutting the business-building process by not communicating with people is a sure way to fail at any business.  Businesses are about “people”.

 10. FALSE EXPECTATIONS

Successful business-minded people are able to separate business hype from business reality.  They are willing to learn what realistic expectations are and are able to realistically work their business based both on expectations and potential.

11. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

Successful business minded-people realize that knowledge is power.  They will read and research and get informed about the industry and anything else that will help them better understand their business.

12. LOSS OF MOTIVATION AND EXCITEMENT

Successful business-minded people realize it is normal to get down and even question what they are doing, however successful people will surround themselves with other positive like-minded people or listen to motivational speeches or read motivational books to keep them motivated or to re-motivate themselves. Excitement builds businesses.
