Discipline Makes your MLM Business Grow
November 12th, 2009 | by Chris |One factor that can determine the success of someone as a distributor in an MLM business opportunity is self-discipline. There are many people in network marketing who while they have a good knowledge of the things that need to be done in order to succeed they never take action. They don’t have the necessary discipline to put themselves to work although they have the blueprint to success. That’s not something uncommon in modern society were we are taught to live our lives passively glued in front of the tv and never take an initiative waiting for a boss above us to tell us what to do. But the good thing is that discipline is like a muscle, the more we use it in our daily life the stronger it becomes. So it is only a matter of practice and exercise in order to improve ourselves in that area.
Of course that doesn’t mean that you take massive action from tomorrow in order to make up for the lost years. It is like the gym, if you overdo it you can make more damage than good. Just work on it daily and gradually increase your effort and pretty soon you won’t be able to recognize your new self.
Business Discipline in MLM and How to Conquer it by Daniel Lucas
Business discipline is the greatest problem MLM representatives face and ultimately prevents millions of people from succeeding in the home business industry. Of course, there are many factors that must be put together to achieve long-term success and profitability in an MLM business; however, even a person with the blueprint to massive success will meet with only failure if he cannot take consistent daily action toward his goals. This article examines how to become truly free by building will power and discipline in order to accomplish the key income-producing tasks in business.
Will power may be defined as the level of one’s inner strength to overcome obstacles, whereas self discipline is the perseverance to continue exercising one’s will. Everyone’s will power fluctuates in strength like a muscle; the greater the use, the higher the power. An example of will power use may be the choice to perform a chore at home instead of sitting on the couch to watch tv. On the other hand, an untrained muscle tires easily. Therefore, after completion of the first chore, it would be more difficult to choose to continue exercising the will’s muscle on a subsequent chore. Keep this in mind and exercise the will gradually. For example, instead of choosing to complete a chore that is 4 hours in length, break it up into two sessions of two hour chunks at first. Additionally, for each major task, break it up into steps. If the task is to mow the lawn, then step one should be to change into work clothes. Step two is to walk outside to the mower, and so on. Break things down into manageable chunks. Ask the question, “Can I walk from here to the dresser?” “Yes, I can do that” Then make it happen one small step at a time. Will power may be practiced all the time from any location, so practice using it by exerting self-control and doing the most desirable activities.

First decide on exactly what needs to be done each day to expand your business. This may be to publish an article each day or to make a certain number of phone calls to prospects. Decide on exactly when to begin and finish work each day just like one would do on a job. The finish time is important because it requires the work to be complete by a certain time, which frees the person from becoming a slave to his business and maintains balance in life. Write down the new schedule and the daily TO-DO list, then post it somewhere visible. Based off of the work schedule, determine a realistic goal to achieve by the end of the month, 3 months later, 6 months later, and 12 months later. Then write it down and post it in a visible location. Now use will power and self discipline to conquer the tasks outlined on the TO-DO list. As the will is exercised through self discipline, it will create an upwards spiral effect that will propel you and your business to prosperity and success.
