The Expert Network Marketer! Part 3 of 8
Fear is a powerful enemy that forms a strong alliance with procrastination and keeps people from achieving their goals or realizing their dreams. That is what it is really all about. Fear causes procrastination!
The expert network marketer learns very quickly that opportunity, realized or not realized, is simply a matter of choice… Those who take the risk, increase their chances of success many times over because they do not fear the outcome of their decision, right or wrong. They seize the opportunity and go on to achieve their goals.
Those who do not risk will never become an expert network marketer. They simply procrastinate and let the opportunity get away... never to achieve that which they so sincerely sought.
When you have a gut feeling that a great opportunity is at hand, how do you react? Do you follow your intuition? If not, why not? Is it Fear? Do you procrastinate and put off making a decision until it is too late and the opportunity is gone, forever?
When offered an opportunity, everyone goes through the same process of making a decision. The difference between us and them is that they have confidence in themselves and their abilities and do not let fear rule their lives. No room for procrastination here! The expert network marketer is a person that quickly evaluates an opportunity and then acts on it.
I could mention Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, J. Paul Getty, Aristotle Onassis, Walt Disney, and so many other great achievers from around the world but I need not. Just remember that they did not quit. They did not procrastinate or fear failure! They just continued to learn and develope their trade until they were at the top. Failure only comes to those who quit. Another way to look at it is, you only fail if you quit!
For all of you who want to be an expert network marketer remember this, you can not fail if you do not quit and “yes”… you are made of the right stuff… We all are! Knowledge is the answer to combat fear and eliminate procastination. Ann Sieg's free eBook is a great stating point for people who seek to be the next expert network marketer!

There are many reasons why people miss-out on great opportunities, not only as an expert network marketer but in ever walk of life, online and off and procrastination is the number one cause! When an opportunity arises, they evaluate, they consider, they ponder and simply procrastinate until the opportunity is gone. Out of site out of mind as the old saying goes. Why do people do that to themselves?
They procrastinate because… they lack confidence.
They procrastinate because… they fear failure.
They procrastinate because… they fear success.
They procrastinate because… they fear criticism.
They procrastinate because… they fear change.
They procrastinate because… they fear the unknown.
They procrastinate because… they fear risk.
Lost opportunities are caused by fear-based procrastination. Fear of one or more of the above conditions or perhaps other fears not mentioned here. One thing is for sure! Procrastination brought on by fear takes hold very quickly and the opportunity… is lost forever. The results of the process is usually the same and is predictable! Procrastination prevents success. Most people will let procrastination rule their lives and that is what prevents them from achieving great and wonderful things in their lives.
I suppose people are afraid they could fail or they may fear their decision might be the wrong decision! They are afraid of taking a chance! They are afraid they might not have the right stuff! They are afraid they will loose money! They are afraid their family and friends will ridicule them and on and on and on!
All of us, even the seasoned expert network marketer must continually be on guard against this powerful foe.Thursday, October 9, 2008
The Expert Network Marketer! Part 1 of 8
When opportunity knocks, will you answer the call?
Over the years, many people have passed-up fantastic opportunities just to realize later on in life they could have gone to the top or become very wealthy had they seized the opportunity at the time! Becoming an expert network marketer in no different. It is just one area where thousands of people could have made their fortune.
All of us have had great opportunities in our life that gave us a chance to succeed beyond our wildest dreams. At that time, we probably got excited because we saw the potential of the opportunity, and we immediately began to daydream, visualize and contemplate where the opportunity might lead us. We could feel it in our gut! Our intuition was screaming yes, yes, yes! Then somehow, the moment slipped through our fingers and was lost to the past as surely as a page of a history book is turned. Never to be viewed by the student again!
Have you ever asked yourself why? Why have great opportunities escaped your grip? Why do some people have greater success than others? Is it luck? Is it destiny? Is it because those other people were in the right place at the right time and you were not? I can tell you, there was a time when I asked myself those very same questions!
It is true! We have all pass up opportunities in our lives that offered us life-changing rewards. Yes… all of us! Opportunity is not given to just a special privledged few! We are not chosen by destiny, fortune or lady luck. It is not in the cards or in the telling of the stars! The truth is… it is merely a matter of choices!
So! What is the difference between those who are the so-called fortunate and those who are not?
The achievers, the winners, as we think of them are the people who seized the opportunity when it presented itself while others did not. If you want to be an expert network marketer you must first accept the responsibility of saying yes to an opportunity!
