Make no mistake it takes a unique skill set to become a successful network marketer. I have developed a list of questions that someone interested in network marketing can ask themselves to see if they are up to the challenge.
Are you interested in having to deal with the headaches associated with managing employees to include hiring and firing? If so then perhaps network marketing isnt for you. What network marketing does give you is the freedom to be self reliant on your individual drive and determination and not the efforts of others in the early stages of your development into a successful network marketer.
Do you embrace the ability to choose when you want to work, where you want to work, how long you want to work, what you wear to work and how you work? If these decisions appeal to you then you have the great beginnings to be a top network marketer. Nothing beats being able to work full time hours one day and then scale back to part time hours the next based on you lifestyle. Freedom of choice can be a very exciting and powerful motivator to succeed as a network marketer.
Does the ability to start a home based or network marketing business with limited risk and for less then a few hundred dollars (in some cases for free) sound good? If so then network marketing will appeal to you in those areas. There are lots of exciting opportunities waiting for you to open their door in order to explore them. Dont forget the potential tax advantages that can come from owning and operating a home-based business.
Does the potential to earn extra income ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars a month raise your eyebrows and arouse your curiosity? Many successful people in network marketing have achieved this goal and you can be one of them as well. When you use your time to its fullest and start leveraging the efforts of other like minded individuals the payoffs can be enormous. Keep in mind the mentorship that can be provided by successful members in your upline. They will want you to succeed because it in turn will help add fuel to their ultimate success.
Does working with the Internet through the use of websites, emails, pay-per-click campaigns or other similar high tech, low overhead, minor maintenance programs frighten you? Unfortunately if the answer is yes then you may have a difficult time in network marketing. The successful network marketer embraces new technology and uses it to propel his or her business to new heights and earning potentials.
Finally, does the idea of an honest days work and I mean intensive labor make you squeamish? You see for all of the benefits that network marketing provides it still relies on one basic principle and that is the amount of effort you dedicate in order to succeed. The successful network marketer realizes that the hard work and energy expended in the beginning will eventually lead to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The only remaining question is - Do you have what it takes to find your pot of gold?
