How To Choose A Good Network Marketing Mentor

In this post I discuss How To Choose A Good Network Marketing Mentor

First, what is a Network Marketing Mentor and do I need one?

A Network Marketing Mentor’s job is to make your Network Marketing journey as quick and as painless as possible.

The first step in choosing a good Network Marketing Mentor is to know what your business goals are.

Second, you need to reflect and identify your current situation. These questions might help:

  • Where are you now in terms of achievement?
  • Is it where you want to be (see goals above)?
  • What resources are available to you that you can actively work with?

Resources may be time, money, manpower, knowledge, experience etc. In other words, what are you going to use to get to where you want.

Third, you need to identify a path that will take you from where you currently are to where you want to be. In other words, how are you going to get there?

Fourth, what might you need specific help with?

Here are the initial REFLECTION steps:

  1. What is my goal?
  2. What am I going to do to get there?
  3. How am I going to get there?
  4. What do I need specific help with?

You may already have some or all of the answers to these questions. If you don’t you may need a Mentor to help you find the answers.

Another way to think of this is as if it was a journey. You are going to start at point ‘A’ and travel through ‘B’ to get to point ‘C’.

Your Mentor’s job is to help you clarify points A and C and identify a clear path B.

So now you can see that a Mentors job is to make your journey as quick and as painless as possible.

What are the qualities to look for  in a good Mentor?

A good Mentor must have experience in Network Marketing.

A good Mentor must know your goals.

They must know your resources and capabilities.

They must know how you plan to achieve your goals.

They must assess your progress regularly.

A good Mentor gives regular feedback: They are both honest and direct.

They must be both encouraging and supportive.

An effective mentor sets good examples. They are willing to show how it’s done.

What else do I need to know about good Mentors?

Note that sometimes good effective mentors may be active in a different company to yours or they may be active in an entirely different industry altogether.

Many people view experts in their field as Mentors in the absence of an actual personal relationship. For example, Network Marketing Trainers and Authors may be seen by many as good Mentors.

Remember that your Network Marketing Sponsor is also a very good candidate too.

How To Build Your Network Marketing Business Without Fear

In this post I will discuss How To Build Your Network Marketing Business Without Fear.

Well done. You are reading this because you have ACCEPTED that you have some fears in your network marketing business.

And quite likely, you are worried that these fears may hold you back and limit the ability of your network marketing business to grow.

If you were in denial that you had any FEARS, I’m afraid that it would mean that you have a very, very long way to go in order to OVERCOME YOUR FEARS.

However, KNOWING and then ACCEPTING that you have a fear is called having INSIGHT. Having insight means the prognosis is good, very good indeed.

What are some of your fears in building your network marketing business?

Let’s look at some common fears that you may have whilst building your network marketing business. Note that having a fear can lead to even more fear. Don’t get caught in a fearsome vicious circle.

Fear of rejection leads to fear

Fear of failure leads to fear

Fear of success leads to fear

Lack of confidence leads to fear

Lack of technical knowledge (knowledge about the company, knowledge of the compensation plan, knowledge of the products, lack of any technical knowledge) leads to fear

I too have fears whilst building my network marketing business.

Ugo’s Top Tip: What I have found is that the easiest way to overcome my fears is to SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING.

If things are complex or confusing, fear and doubt inject themselves into our minds. And then things begin to spiral out of control. We begin to procrastinate. We avoid our daily tasks. Our productivity slides. We stop promoting. We stop finding new customers. We stop finding new distributors. We stop being successful.

Overthinking

Overthinking things is an easy way to change a simple idea into a complex one.

Overthinking things is an easy way to change a simple task into a complex one.

Ugo’s Top Tip: Stop overthinking things.

Network marketing is a simple business. We are not creating the next Amazon or the next Tesla or the next Space X or the next Microsoft. We are not sending a man to Mars. Not yet anyway.

We are simply doing 3 things:

  1. Talking to people.
  2. Listening to them for any problem issue or painful problem they may have.
  3. Offering them a possible solution.

That’s all we do. All day, every day.

Focus, focus, focus on these 3 simple things and you will never be bothered by fear in your network marketing business.

  1. Talking to people.
  2. Listening to them for any problem issue or painful problem they may have.
  3. Offering them a possible solution.
