Number 1 Culprit That Kills Your Network Marketing Success

It is very common to hear about how 97% of people who enter Network Marketing fail. One would have to wonder why anyone would bother to join a company after hearing this grim news. But people do join companies every day. Some will have a certain measure of success...yet most others will fail. Why do people fail?There are many reasons a person fails at Network Marketing. Some people start out with no intention of working a business. They are seduced by the hype and think they have just won a lottery ticket, but fizzle out within a month or two when they have no results. Some people are always gung-ho about Network Marketing, but never stay with a company long enough to make it work. Most people enter Network Marketing without the necessary skills for success so they are doomed for failure.More often than not, the number one culprit that kills your network marketing success is fear. In Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich, he addresses fear in his 15th chapter. Hill advises that our fears are enemies that are tricky to uncover and get rid of. The most common fear is the fear of criticism.The fear of criticism is one of the most heinous fears for a network marketer. People become gripped with fear when they face talking to people they do not know about their business or products. The telephone can weigh a hundred pounds when it comes time to follow up with prospects.The root of the problem with fear of criticism for most people is the fear of being criticized by one's own family and friends. These people who love us and care about us, may scoff at our venture into network marketing. Common attacks are that it is a scam or they know somebody who tried it and never made any money at it.When a person is stuck on being a perfectionist, procrastinates or avoids doing something, their fear of criticism is high. They may not finish projects or endlessly delay publishing their work because they never feel it is "just right". A person can also become paralyzed with the fear of criticism in the event they try something new and fail. This fear can make it impossible for a person to move forward in working their business effectively.When addressing fears, it is important to remember that fears are thoughts and thoughts are things. Our thoughts, especially those that we dwell on a lot, will eventually become reality. The only way to combat the effects of fear on our network marketing success is to choose to think positive thoughts. Reading personal development books every day and joining a mastermind self help group are measures that can help us work through our fears.
