When we begin our network marketing business we have a picture in mind of where we want to go. For some it is a little extra money to cover the cost of the products or supplement their income. For others, the picture is one of freedom: Freedom of time or freedom financially.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we begin our network marketing business we have a picture in mind of where we want to go. For some it is a little extra money to cover the cost of the products or supplement their income. For others, the picture is one of freedom: Freedom of time or freedom financially.<br />
<P><br />
<img src="http://melodiekantner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/begging.jpg" alt="Network Marketing with Posture" title="begging" width="107" height="193" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-841" />Our excitement over the possibilities can make us a little too eager to convince people to join us. We want them to get inspired like we are. The problem, if we are not careful is that, <strong>in our excitement, we can appear like a beggar</strong>. To our prospect, it may sound like, &#8220;<strong>Please, Please, Please join my company with me</strong>.&#8221;<br />
<P><br />
That is not the message we want to give off in our communication with people. We want to <strong>talk to people from a position of confidence and posture</strong>.<br />
<P><br />
Let go of the stress about the outcome. Approach conversations about your business or product as though you don&#8217;t care whether they join you or not. Remember, <strong>Some will, Some Won&#8217;t, So What! NEXT! </strong><br />
<P><br />
This is a very important principal in the Law of Attraction. When you are stressed about the outcome and needing people to join and buy products, you actually repel the business you want to attract. You want to project an image people are attracted to. People follow success and strength, not failure and weakness. Communicate from an energy of strength and confidence.<br />
<P><br />
When you seem to play a little hard to get, it can actually <strong>cause curiosity and cause people to ask more questions</strong>. Here is one particular example that really sticks in my mind:<br />
<P><br />
I was on a shuttle at the Columbus Ohio airport heading from the parking lot toward the place where you check in luggage. I used to be extremely fearful of flying. By the way, I used EFT to remove that fear and actually enjoy flying now.<br />
<P><br />
At the time I was so fearful of flying, all I could focus on was my fear. I had a &#8220;Don&#8217;t even talk to me&#8221; attitude. This guy on the shuttle asked where we were going. I responded in a short no info response, &#8220;To a business convention.&#8221; He asked what kind of business. I briefly said it was a convention for distributors of therapeutic grade essential oils. The guy started asking questions about essential oils. I answered his questions very briefly, the whole time wishing he would stop talking to me.<br />
<P><br />
Over the years I have noticed a pattern. When I drop a few comments and run, I often have people chasing me with more questions.  When I was desperately wanting someone to see why they should join with me, they rarely joined.<br />
<P><br />
<strong>There is something that happens to your posture when you aren&#8217;t feeling desperate for people to join</strong>. It doesn&#8217;t matter. Some will and some won&#8217;t.<br />
<P><br />
One way to help develop confidence and posture is to build self-esteem. <strong>Personal development is of prime importance to professional network marketers. Building your confidence and leadership skills contribute to having a good posture. </strong><br />
<P><br />
Listening to audios and webinars, reading books, attending company events are some ways to build your skills and posture. A great place to start is to <strong>be on <a href="http://melodiekantner.weeklymarketingwebinars.com">MyLeadSystemPro&#8217;s weekly webinars</a></strong>. They have them every Wednesday night at 9:00 PM EST and they are jam packed with posture building training.<br />
<P><br />
Hanging out with and learning from people who have built a successful network marketing business is the best way to build confidence and posture.<br />
<P><br />
As you are doing the personal development and learning skills that increase posture and confidence, why not do some EFT sessions to enhance the process. Try the EFT session below.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem a little harsh but I'm telling you now, if you don't love what you do, you don't have much chance for success in network marketing. The failure rate is pretty high in this industry but you CAN increase your odds for success. 
<P>
Well, first thing is, let's lose that word ODDS. It's not about odds. It's about YOU and what you do, but one thing that is a major help in your success is liking what you do. 
<P>
Those who are really successful in network marketing really love what they are doing. Not only do they like the network marketing industry and the company they are with but they also love marketing and promoting their business. 
<P>
That's the part I want to talk to you about today. Actually finding pleasure in marketing your business. I heard someone say once, "Find the work you love, and the compensation will follow."  That can be applied to the type of marketing you choose to promote your business. There are LOTS of ways to do that. 
<P>
When I first began my network marketing career 17 years ago I was in a company that was not right for me and I hated what I was doing. They had us doing hotel meetings, 3 way calls on friends and family and other things that just did NOT fit my style. I stuck with that first company for 2 years until I just could not continue. I really did not like what I was doing. I loved the idea of working from home and having time and financial freedom but it seemed like something unattainable. 
<P>
When another opportunity came along that felt like a better fit, I decided to give it another go. This time I would do things in a way that felt comfortable to me. That was 15 years ago and I am very glad I didn't give up on my dreams to work from home. 
<P>
The key for me was to learn ways to market my business that I could really enjoy. I needed to get people coming to me.  I had no intention of chasing after people. 
<P>
There are LOTS of ways to market your business and get leads coming to you. Find the ones that fit your style. Get your systems in place. Learn the skills and the mindset you need, then practice until you get better.     
<P>
The best training I have found that covers most everything a serious network marketer needs is <a href="http://mlsptestdrive.com">MyLeadSystemPro</a>. 
<P>
The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you.

		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever wake up feeling angry for no apparent reason? You just feel irritable and everything seems like a bother. You just feel like going back to bed. It's a mystery to me why some days we wake up singing and other days we just want to bite someone's head off. 
<P>
I woke up in one of those moods today and I admit, it took a couple hours of nastiness before I realized I need to work on myself so I got started doing some EFT.  I'm feeling much better now and I thought I'd share an EFT tapping session on releasing anger in case you have a need of it. You can come back here anytime and tap along. There will be days when we'll need it. ;)
<P>
It is important to have a good emotional energy when you are working on your business tasks as a network marketer. Especially prospecting and marketing your business. Law of Attraction is always at work. When we are in a negative emotional state, we actually repel the things we are wanting to attract. 
<P>
If we want the Law of Attraction to work in our favor, we need to be in a good mood when we are working on our business. This is especially important in the beginning when we are more likely to be easily discouraged.

		<description><![CDATA[WHOA!! Put on the brakes.  There is a big MINDSET problem that plagues a lot of network marketers. It is an <strong>Employee Mindset</strong> and it MUST be addressed. 
<P>
 <img alt="Employee Mindset" src="http://melodiekantner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/employee.jpg" class="alignleft" width="125" height="150" />If you are serious about building a successful network marketing business, you must <strong>get out of the Employee Mindset</strong> and start functioning like a business owner. 
<P>
As a independent distributor <strong>you are CEO of your own company</strong>. It's a serious business. 
<P>
If you want to earn a serious income, it is important that you stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an ENTREPRENEUR! Start every day with that in mind until it becomes second nature. <strong>Each day ask yourself, "What would the entrepreneur do today to grow his business?</strong>"
<P>
You MUST break free of Employee Mindset if you want to build a serious income. You also need to be able to <strong>recognize Employee Mindset so you can change any patterns that you may have developed</strong> that lean in that direction. 
<P>
Here are a few examples . . . 
<P>
Employee Mindset <strong>trades time for dollars and most do the minimum required</strong>. Some even delight at wasting time while the boss isn't looking. "Hey, they pay by the hour and nobody is watching, I'll sneak in a little Bejeweled or talk with co-workers about favorite TV shows."  
 <P>
The Entrepreneur Mindset knows that time is a most important asset and is not to be squandered.   He knows that the amount of income he earns depends on the daily actions he performs. He never just shows up and does a minimal amount of work.  
<P>
The Employee Mindset <strong>waits for someone to tell them what to do</strong>. They act on what the boss tells them what to do and they expect to get paid whether the project succeeds or fails. 
<P>
Entrepreneur has to do the thinking and knows that success or failure depends on what they DO. To make sure they are successful and thus GET PAID, they do the research, learn the skills they need, do the advertising. They <strong>find out what needs to be done and then they take ACTION</strong>. 
<P>
When they see something isn't working, they find out why and then make <strong>adjustments</strong> until it IS working. 
<P>
Employee Mindset usually has their money spent before it is in their hands. 
<strong>Entrepreneur knows that the time and money they spend is an investment in their future</strong>. They are willing to put in the time, knowing that it will be <strong>GROWING into something substantial</strong>. 
 <P>
Employee Mindset gets scared when the economy is down and retreats to the illusion of job security. <P>
<strong>Entrepreneur sees the opportunity</strong> is increasing since more people need what we have to offer.  
<P>
And . . . 
<P>
<strong>Since the ones with Employee Mindset fled the scene, there will be less competition</strong>. 
<P>
Each day, as you are doing the days tasks, <strong>keep the Entrepreneur Mindset before you</strong>. 
<P>
Now here is a little trick: As you are keeping in the Entrepreneur Mindset, remember ONE thing about being an employee. Have set times where you <strong>SHOW UP to do focused work</strong>. 
<P>
Sometimes working from home can be a curse if you don't have the discipline to get things done. For that, I recommend a daily plan of action or a "To Do List" and pretend you are an employee. The difference here is that you work for yourself!  ;)
<P>
On a side note: As you probably know I love to talk about self-esteem. Well, getting this Entrepreneur Mindset is great for your self-esteem. As you go through this process and build your business, your self-esteem grows. That in turn helps you get better at growing your business.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WHOA!! Put on the brakes.  There is a big MINDSET problem that plagues a lot of network marketers. It is an <strong>Employee Mindset</strong> and it MUST be addressed.<br />
<P><br />
 <img alt="Employee Mindset" src="http://melodiekantner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/employee.jpg" class="alignleft" width="125" height="150" />If you are serious about building a successful network marketing business, you must <strong>get out of the Employee Mindset</strong> and start functioning like a business owner.<br />
<P><br />
As a independent distributor <strong>you are CEO of your own company</strong>. It&#8217;s a serious business.<br />
<P><br />
If you want to earn a serious income, it is important that you stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an ENTREPRENEUR! Start every day with that in mind until it becomes second nature. <strong>Each day ask yourself, &#8220;What would the entrepreneur do today to grow his business?</strong>&#8221;<br />
<P><br />
You MUST break free of Employee Mindset if you want to build a serious income. You also need to be able to <strong>recognize Employee Mindset so you can change any patterns that you may have developed</strong> that lean in that direction.<br />
<P><br />
Here are a few examples . . .<br />

		<description><![CDATA[If you are serious about success in network marketing, you MUST <strong>take your personal development seriously</strong>. I can not stress that enough. 
<P>
<strong>Personal development is at the root of every successful full time network marketer</strong>. I would be willing to say it is the absolute most important ingredient for success. 
<P>
<img src="http://melodiekantner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/frog-reading.jpg" alt="" title="frog-reading" width="155" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-747" />Every bit of personal development you do will increase your skills, your confidence, your comfort level, your value in the market place, your ability to attract abundance.  
<P>
Personal development will not only improve your leadership skills, it will also help others take you seriously as a leader which in turn will attract people to you. 
<P>
Personal development also <strong>helps build your self-esteem</strong> which is another important ingredient for success in network marketing. 
<P>
<strong>Your business will only grow as much as you do</strong>. I recommend reading 10 pages of a book each day, subscribe to marketing newsletters and READ THEM, listen to training audios, attending webinars, attend any company events you can manage.   
<P>
If you are serious about your business, you will invest in marketing training that will help you learn marketing skills that really work. That is why I recommend <a href="http://mlsptestdrive.com">MyLeadSystemPro</a>. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the training and systems they have. 
<P>
<strong>As the economy gets worse, more and more people are looking for new income sources</strong> either to supplement or even replace the income they have. Now is the time to take your business seriously and start preparing to be the leader that will show them the way.
