The 4 D’s of Network Marketing

There’s so much I have learned about the network marketing industry as I navigate my way through it. The network part of it involves dealing with people, connecting with them, while not being too attached to the outcome of your eventual pitch. The marketing part of it includes daily income producing activities (IPAs) that  must be done, even when you don’t see results right away… or simply don’t feel like doing them.  Here are what I call The Four D’s of Network Marketing:

DEDICATION – To be successful in this industry, you’ve got to stay committed. One major reason so many people fail at network marketing is because they do not put forth the time and effort required to succeed. People simply give up too soon before giving success a chance to take root.

DISCIPLINE – To achieve the success you desire, you need to consistently focus on what you want and take action towards achieving your goals. Success does not come overnight, but is instead the result of many small but positive steps in the right direction.

DETACHMENT – You have to learn how not to take things personally. Instead, practice detached observation. You’ve probably heard – much of this business is a numbers game. The more people you share your business with the more people you’ll sponsor to your team. It also means the more people you share your business with the more No’s you’ll get as well. Try to let go of your automatic defenses and don’t take the rejection personally – just move on to the next one.

DHARMA – This is an East Indian word that means “living your unique purpose.” How do you find fulfillment?  Do you find meaning in the business you’re building? Some aspect of your business should speak to your authentic self. This can be because you have a natural talent for sales, genuinely love marketing (like I do), or really enjoy connecting with people. It could also be that your company products are ones that you truly believe in and know can help people in ways that you’re passionate about.

Are you dedicated, disciplined practicing detachment, and living your purpose? Are one or more of the D’s a challenge for you right now? I personally have the hardest time with detachment (what can I say, I’m an emotional person), but I’m working on it.  Leave me a comment below and tell me what you think!
