Now that you know your “why” for being in business make it real by knowing what your future business-self has accomplished. Let yourself experience the accomplishment and all its rewards. Then the next step is clearly seeing HOW.

Go to where you feel the full attainment of your goal and work it backwards.

Develop your plan by thinking about what you had to do to reach your goals. Break the goal into smaller manageable actions. Your mindset is that you are analyzing the history of your success. You are crystalizing in your mind the steps you took to get there.

Here is the “why” of writing the plan: When your future business-self returns to the present and retraces the steps to success, your plan will help you monitor your progress so you can make changes when changes are indicated.

You are the CEO of your business. To be successful in your business you have to accept responsibility for everything that happens. If you try something that your sponsor or upline suggests and it doesn't work for you don’t get into the blame game. What happens in your business is the result of your decisions.

It is normal to feel disappointed if things don’t work out. You will hear a lot of quiet propaganda and some blatant hype in this industry. On paper it is easy to say that success is recruiting two people who recruit two seems easy. But not so in real life. The two you recruit rarely recruit two.

Another “easy-to-do-plan” that I hear a lot is, “all you need is one heavy-hitter.” Sorry, but that is turning your success over to someone else.

If you are not clear about exactly what you have to do, don't panic.

Think about who you know, or where you can go to get clarity. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don’t stop just because one person in the company doesn't know the answer, keep looking to connect with people until you get answers that fit you.

Do I have the persistence to keep going during the tough times and learn the things that will get me to my goals?

I recently talked with a business owner who had been working his business for more than 10 years, investing his time and money with no real success.

But this time I heard something different in his voice, the conviction that he was going to find the pathway to his success. He was done trying and now was going to make it happen. He said he was going to do whatever was necessary. He was all in; 100%. He had acquired the CEO mind.

I have no doubt that he will succeed because he has the persistence.

Next blog we will talk about two top skills that are essential for success in network marketing.

Those who have cultivated the HABIT of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure.
