Expanding Your Network Marketing Business Further (Part 3 of 5)

4.3 Why Motivation is Important for Both You & Your Team

Motivation is the driving force behind the actualization of all rational thoughts and processes. You might be able to clearly think through decisions, but in order to have the will power to actually go through with those decisions, you need some sort of intent or emotion to back up those decisions. This underlying “emotional drive” can best be described by motivation.

For you, your motivation might simply be gaining the ability to care for your family or spouse. Perhaps you have been unable to find stable work for a long period of time; and you feel like this network marketing opportunity is your only chance to break out of being dependent on a boss and actually work hard to do something for yourself.

Whatever your motivation happens to be, you will always want to build further on it. Find new and more powerful ways to motivate yourself by creating lists of things you need or want; or by creating lists of ways in which you can change other people's lives for the better if only you had access to the types of resources you could gain through this network marketing opportunity.

Now, with this in mind, consider carefully how you could motivate your own network in addition to yourself. What drives them? What do they need? And how can your network be a solution to that problem?

As I've mentioned previously, leading by example is critical – as is motivating by example. If you show constant ethusiasm for the opportunity and put all you have into making it work, then your network partners, too, will see what you've said and do and will attempt to mimic it.

In contrast, if you fail to motivate your network to action by not consistently taking action, you can expect them, too, to be more inclined to give up easily or to accept failure with little resistence.
