Becoming a Top Earner

By Brian Murray

Becoming a top earner is what everyone dreams about when joining a network marketing company. Well, if that’s true, then how come so few make it there? I believe that if someone is a natural leader, they have a good chance of figuring out how to become one of those top earners. Well, what about everyone else? Not everybody is a natural leader. The answer is really simple.

You need to become one!

How, you might ask. You have probably heard of Vince Lombardi, the famous coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the 1960’s. Here’s what he had to say:

"Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile."
Vince Lombardi

Pretty inspiring stuff, if you ask me. The fact is – you can become a leader, and I am going to explain some of the things that you may need to change about yourself to get there.

• Be Positive. Sounds simple. How will you react when one of your prospects says no to your opportunity? What will your thoughts be when someone says, “Oh no, you didn’t get involved with one of those pyramids, did you?” Throughout your struggle to achieve your goals, you will undoubtedly come across situations like this countless times. How you respond to these situations will be key to your success. You must remain positive and believe in yourself and your opportunity. Learn from your mistakes, and move on.

• Have a Plan. You cannot achieve goals, if you do not set them. You should create both short-term and long-term goals for your business. For example, if your short-term goal is to make $2,000 per month with this business, then sit down and see how much team volume your downline needs to generate in order to achieve that. Setting a date when you will achieve a certain rank is another good way to set short-term goals.

• Be Persistent and Consistent. Simply creating a plan won’t do you any good if you don’t follow it. This is just like with an exercise program. If you have a great program like P90X and it’s sitting on your shelf, not being used – you will obviously not see any results. You will need to be disciplined and stick to your plan.

• Educate Yourself. There are some great resources out there that can teach you some innovative ways to grow your business. They can range from free to costing hundreds of dollars. Sometimes, you get what you pay for – and sometimes you don’t. There is a program that I use that is reasonably priced. You can find it here: http://networkexploder.com
