The Long Term Network Marketing Mindset by:John Sparry

Your Network Marketing Mindset can help you keep you eye on the prize when the going gets rough

. All too many people join Multi-Level Marketing companies (also known as Network Marketing or Social Marketing) expecting quick and easy money. Their mindset is completely wrong, which naturally leads to frustration when their dreams aren't realized in short order.

Plan on building your business for three, five or even ten years. Yes, there are people in this industry that become incredibly wealthy in months - not years, but they are the exceptions.

There is nothing wrong with striving for such quick progress, but don't lose heart if it doesn't happen.

Here's a little secret: Almost everyone who appears to have experienced overnight success - in any field - have paid their dues. As Malcolm Gladwell noted in his book The Outliers, the Beatles seemed to rocket to the top of the charts as soon they tried their collective hand at music, but nothing could be further from the truth. They played together for thousands and thousands of hours perfecting their craft - far far more than most commercially successful bands - before becoming rich and famous.

Similarly, you must also think long term. Accept that patience and stamina are the best characteristics you can develop.

I have seen people that jump from one Network Marketing company to another, looking for a magic bullet. They think that if they just find the right product or compensation plan or upline, then they will be successful. These things can all be very important, but your mindset eclipses them all. You have to supply the magic, which is made up of time, effort and an open mind.

Think long term and you're mindset will be ahead of 75% of everyone in the Multi-Level Marketing industry.
