After many months of talking to new internet marketers and aspiring network marketing entrepreneurs I have come to one forgone conclusion, no one takes the time to make a plan. Imagine that, going into the battle of business with no plan of action and no firm commitments to speak of. If you start you home business, like the majority do, on a wing and a prayer I will guarantee you will find yourself a casualty like more than 95% who fail in home business today.
I cannot stress this point enough! The plan is the basic foundation for success and far too many are expecting their sponsor or someone else to work out the details and it never happens. Others never really give it much thought which I've found even more astonishing.
I've asked my trainees from time to time to show me their plan and I often hear that it's in their head. They have it memorized to some degree and that's what they build their businesses from, memory. If I had to rely on my memory I wold have been out of business a years ago. It's no wonder they are failing and can't seem to get any traction.
This may seem a little negative but it is true and the truth isn't always so pretty. It's only when we realize the gravity of where we are can we make the changes we need.
Think of it this way, let's say a football team went into a game with no set plays or strategy to take on their competition. They hadn't watched any footage of the other teams strengths or weaknesses and were just flying by the seat of their pants on every play. How do you think they would do during the season with that approach?
Probably wouldn't be too strong a season right? Network Marketing is the exact same way and there are too many losing seasons to count when it comes to our industry.
Now I do realize that many Network Marketing companies have training and support to some degree, however, significant planning is really missing in most companies I've seen over the years. Many get skills that are never implemented because they were never added to the "Playbook". Most bounce from tactic to technique never really gaining any real momentum.
The problem is, and history tells us, that this approach very rarely works!
Committing your plan of action to paper is critically important to your overall success in your Network Marketing business. Without a clearly defined map or blueprint, very few achieve success. Break down your goals into little action steps that eventually get down to what you need to do every single day to reach those goals. Don't fall victim to the number one reason Network Marketers are failing today, a lack of planning.
There are many other practicals that I go over in detail on my site that you may want to take a look at. This information could make the difference between success and failure as I know it has for me.
