How To Build MLM-You Gotta Be A True Leader and Not a Wannabe

Many networkers desire to build a successful MLM business. They see others who do it well and want to know how to build MLM just like the "big guys". In reality, the "big guys" are just normal people who learned how to be successful.

The truth is, there is a difference between leaders and those who desire to be leaders but fail to take certain actions. They are the "wannabe's". Let's take a close look at what real leaders do in MLM and why they achieve much success.

1. Daily actions. Those who are successful in MLM take consistent action daily. For some, it is something as simple as getting two exposures per day for their business. They do this in many ways such as giving away a free ebook, sharing their story with two people, adding a few friends to their friend's list on a site like Facebook, giving away a free report, etc. These are simple steps, but will have big results in the long term.

2. Weekly actions. Leaders in MLM take weekly actions. For some, this is accomplished by sending out one long distance package a week to someone they feel would benefit from hearing about the biz opportunity or product. The packet can contain a book, CD, pamphlet, product sample, etc. This lets people know the leader is in business without a big sales pitch. Once again, these are simple actions, but will have a huge payoff in the long term.

3. Monthly actions. Those leaders who have learned how to build MLM successfully attend monthly events. The events can be in their hometown or further away. MLM events can include special dinners, luncheons, chamber of commerce events, seminars, etc. These activities increase the leaders knowledge and prospect data base.

4. Personal Development. Leaders in MLM who are successful are always seeking ways to increase their personal growth. They do this by reading books, listening to CD's, participating in mastermind groups, etc. On-going personal development for them is a must and they do so for at least 15-30 minutes a day.

5. Stay with the ship. Leaders who understand how to build MLM successfully know massive success won't come in 30, 60, or 90 days. They know they must give whatever system they are using time to work and build momentum. They know they must give the system at least a year and they are committed to this. There is no jumping ship for each hot new deal that may come along.

6. Have a "Slight Edge" philosophy. Those who are leaders in MLM have the "slight edge" mindset and philosophy. They know that necessary actions are easy to do or not to do. They choose to take responsibility for both success and failures in their business. Leaders know daily actions may not seem to make a big difference initially, but are committed to following through with them. Successful leaders realize that initially 80% of their time might be required to make their business work, but eventually this will change to 20% of effort which will result in great rewards.

7. Live outside the comfort zone. Lastly, those leaders who know how to build MLM successfully do what others are not willing to do. They are OK with living outside their comfort zone for awhile in order to be comfortable later on. They know that if they are consistent, a big turn around usually comes in 3-5 years.

So, as one can see, true leaders in MLM operate by different methods and mindset than those who are just wannabe's. To become a true leader and build a successful MLM business, adopt the actions and mindset discussed and get on the road to success.
