A Network (Internet) Marketing Tip
A Network (Internet) Marketing Tip
If you have been doing network marketing for awhile on or offline I know you would have come to a point where it all seemed way to much to handle.
You would of wanted to throw in the towel and give up. All of us have reached this point before.
This feeling is not just a one off thing. It will happen again and again and every time it does the urge to give up becomes greater and greater.
In this post I am going to give you my network marketing / internet marketing tip which will ease the stresses away.
But first let me assure you the tip will not work unless you have a positive mental attitude.
Why Do You Want To Give Up?
There can be many reasons why you may want to give up
1. Information overload
2. Lack of results
3. Lack of knowledge
4. Lack of resources (time and money)…..etc
I know at one point or another I suffed from all of these reasons, usually all at the same time and I am sure you have suffered from at least one of these. (Feel free to add you own reasons in the comment area).
For some giving up is the right solution.
Network marketing isn’t for everyone. For most the JOB is what they should be doing, it is where they excel.
Their mind-set is not geared up for the network marketing industry and that is fine.
There is nothing wrong with giving up if this truly is not for you…
Network Marketing / Internet Marketing Tip
…but if marketing is for you, you will do well to remember and use this tip.
When all seems to be to much or the results are not coming in, go right back to basics.
The structure of what you wanted to achieve has not changed. You got into business to create a different lifestyle for yourself.
The reality of that is still very possible.
The formula is still the exact same:
1. Build List
2. Build Relationship With List
3. Market To List
If things have become to much for you it is what you have done between your WHY and where you are at now that has changed.
So go back to the basics.
Keep It Simple.
There is a solution for you. The way to make the formula work for you is waiting for you to discover it, but you will not find it if your mind is clouded by the stresses of your business not working out and negative thoughts.
When you go back to basics you have the same clean slate that you had when you first started. The difference now is you have more knowledge of how not to do things or how things should be done.
My simple network marketing tip for when things get to be to much.
Going back to basics and keeping it simple will keep you in the game.

Hi Dwayne,
Excellent advice for every network marketer because we've all hit the doldrums at one point or another.
Down times are testing periods. Those who can deal with them get the prize of reaching their goals. Those who can't usually live unfulfilled lives.
Luv your mention of the WHY. This is the driver, the reason why you became a network marketer in the first place.
Thanks for sharing

I think the more that people realise that the road to success is not going to be easy to traverse, the more they'll accept that fact and get on with the tasks at hand – if they are determined enough that is.
Those 4 things that you mentioned can take a big toll, but hey, if there are no challenges, this business would not be worth building. Humans love to overcome challenges!
Hi Dwayne,
What you describe is part and parcel of the journey as a network marketer. We should be prepared for it as you say by working on having a positive mental attitude and not giving up. Keeping to the basics as you suggest is a great a tip.

Hey Dwayne,
Oh yeah, I've felt overwhelmed and all of those things you listed, at one point or another. I'm just too darn stubborn to quit.
Most of the time I'm loving it, but in those down times, well quitting goes against everything in me…
I like your suggestion. Go back to the basics. That is some sound advice.

Hey Dwayne,

Chat with you later…

Hey Dwayne,
Great tip, because society in general get really caught up in too much info. This is especially a bigger problem for home business owners because they are the ones that are responsible.
Have a great day buddy,

Hey Dwayne,
Great points here. It's inevitalbe, if you're in network marketing…you're going to get discouraged at some point. It's all about the commitment. Are you in or are you out?? It could even be compared to marriage (lol)…it's not always sunshine and roses, but if you hang in there…it sure can become amazing!!
Have a great weekend,
Tragena
Hi Dwayne,
Very good advice! I can totally relate as I got a bit overwhelmed with everything going on in business (as well as life) so that's exactly what I did … going back to the basics. When you really think about it, this business is so simple. It's us who make it difficult.
Have a great weekend!

Hey Dwayne,
Becoming overloaded and getting behind on your tasks is a fact of life for most of us at some point. The thing I've realized, with the help of my wife, is that we got into this for time freedom, and financial freedom. Sometimes I have to back down the focus, and just get out and spend some time with my family to get my mind clear.
In the end, the hard work will always pay off, but like my business partner, Eric McMillan always says, “If you're working to hard, it's because you're not working too smart”. lol
Hey Ryan
Thank you.
Taking it back to basics and focusing on your why will always pull your through?
Hey Wayne
Very true. The challenge is what creates the value of the tasks. If they are to easy they will have a low value and wont be worth doing. Good point and a positive way to view it all.
Hey Marcus
Thank you.
Accepting that it is all part of the journey really helps
Hey Susanna
Thank you.
Your stubbornness has served you well!
Hey Josh
Stick to the 3 steps and all will be yours!
Hey Jerome.
Thanks brother
Hey Tragena
The people who see it through reap the benefits, the ones who don't, don't.
Even a rosebush has thorns.
The tasks are meant to be challenging so we really value them.
(nice link to marriage)
Hey Ilka
Living proof that the back to basics idea works.
Even big companies who are going through difficult times go back to basics.
Thank you for passing by
Great quote from Eric.
That is great that you take time out to spend with the family. The more relaxed we are the more we allow or minds to be more creative.
Creativity is where all good ideas come from.
Back to basics at work in its finest form
