Now, I know people have different attitudes as far as personal development and mindset goes.

But my advice is pretty practical.

First, (and this was a BIG one for me) you MUST get comfortable with the unknown.

Basically, you need to be present and respect the journey.

Know that you’re not going to learn everything you need all at once, in one fell swoop.

When you go online, you’re learning a whole new skill set with a lot of moving parts.

Almost a new profession.

Think of it…

(We’re not going to have you do that, and it probably shouldn’t take four years, anyway.)

Master that, implement it, and then move on.

You have to get comfortable with not knowing what’s ahead and not trying to fast forward over some steps.

There’s always going to be a new technology that you don’t know about, and new skills that you have to acquire.

Keep that in mind and expect the unknown.

But the other issue is a biggie and comes up often:

It’s the ability to overcome adversity and not give up.

By going online…

Yes!  Absolutely!

That’s the purpose of going online—to create more efficiency, so you’re NOT doing things that either waste time, or you simply don’t like doing.  Things that are taking away your TIME FREEDOM - time you could spend with your family & friends or go to yoga.. or doing whatever makes you happy!

• So no more driving around town going for coffee meetings.
• No more doing home parties or markets.
• Or following up over and over after they’ve seen “the plan.”

However, you are still going to face adversity.

You're still going to get frustrated, overwhelmed, hit roadblocks and get stuck.

If you are somebody that easily gives up when you encounter those types of things, then this isn't for you... don't even try.

There are people that are not going to approve of you doing something that's different from what they recommend within the company.

Maybe someone in your upline doesn’t want you to explore other methods.

That’s normal.

It’s normal for people who have not built their business this way tend to have a negative attitude.

Human beings fear the unknown, which is why the first thing I told you was: master the unknown.

Not only is it natural to fear the unknown, it’s natural to attack it too.

Know that your upline—even if they have a massive downline—if they haven’t built a business online, then they’re talking about something they don’t truly understand.

Building a business online is completely different than building it offline.

It requires different methods and an entirely different skill set.

Building offline is something you can admire and appreciate—and I certainly do—and respect anyone that’s done it.

But if a leader hasn’t done anything online, and they’re talking ‘smack’ about it, then they have no credibility in my book.

Respect them, but don’t give in to their doubt and fear.

But in today’s day and age, more and more leaders in the network marketing space are starting to accept that you can actually build on social media and using Internet marketing, and the proof is in the pudding.

You see people everywhere who are successfully building online.

The proof is all around you.

There is a community that provides a lot of support as it relates to this, and there is a team of coaches and mentors that can offer you advice based on your personal situation.

I’ll tell you how to receive more information at the end of this article.

This sums up mindset:

• Master the unknown.
• Learn how to overcome adversity.
• Learn to overcome peer pressure.

Those three things will come up, but now you can be prepared.

The next thing you need is a…

You need an implementation blueprint...

A roadmap...

Something you can reference along the way.

And there are primarily two different ways that you can build your business online.

First, there’s the…

With social media recruiting, you honestly don’t have to learn much of anything.

All you need is a personal account on Facebook (no website required), and some sort of process—maybe provided by your upline or somebody in your company—on how to present your opportunity and convert prospects into either buyers or new reps.

You only need to know where to take them, and how to process them.

Your can start implementing social ​​media recruiting strategies today.

In fact, this strategy is basically the same to what you’d do offline, except you’re transposing the process online.

The challenge with social media is you’re always busy…

• You’re always posting.
• You’re always engaging.
• You’re always interacting with people.

It produces results quickly (and it can produce massive results), and you can duplicate it quickly, but it’s time intensive.

Most of the time…

People will move beyond simple social media recruiting stuff, because they want to create more leverage in their business and to free up more of their time.

(And that is what the community that I am a part of  has been doing for network marketers for the past 10 YEARS!)

The next level of social media is....

...which is about posting valuable content or information that inspires people to reach out to YOU and ask you what you are doing.

In fact, many of my fellow students are generating dozens of prospects reaching out to them, asking…

I prefer to start the conversation with somebody when they’re reaching out.

They are coming to me—instead of the other way around.

They are already open to hear what it is that I do!  I don't have to convince them or chase them down!

Then you’re able to create leverage and scale.

All the things you normally would do with social media you’re now able to scale and accelerate your results.

For this, you’re going to need a Facebook Business Page (aka a Fan Page), and a training and lead generation sy​​stem. 

The idea is for people to reach out to you by going to your website and submitting their information, which can happen 24/7 (while you’re sleeping or at the beach or at your kids field trip).

They’ll do this in exchange for valuable information you’ve promised to give them.

They are then automatically sent all the information they need to get familiar with your business.  And the best part?  There is a system that provides all the tools to allow you to do this in no time (which means you do NOT have to be tech savvy)!

You likely only have to answer a few questions, and they’re ready to get started.

It’s all automatic.

That’s what a “funnel” does.

This is how you can passively have prospects come into your business, every single day.

How would it feel to wake up to people reaching out to you in your inbox every morning?  THAT is the power of having a system in place!  What if it were 15-100 per day like some of my friends and mentors?

There’s no way they could personally talk to every single one of them, so they had to create funnels or processes to be able to present offers to people en masse on auto pilot.

This allows you to take people that are brand new and fresh, and walk them through a presentation, in an automated way.

That’s essentially what we’re talking about with passive recruiting strategies (which is also referred to as “attraction marketing”).

Now, for the final piece, which is…

It would be very difficult for you to do everything I just described without some personal one-on-one help.  I know... I tried (and I'm a pretty good student)

Think about it, when you started in network marketing offline, somebody showed you the next steps to take.

The same is true with building your business online:

You need someone to show you a step-by-step blueprint AND to hold you accountable!

When I first got started in Network Marketing, I spent a huge amount of time, energy and put money on credit cards for courses trying to build my business without mentorship.

It was pretty costly, to say the least.

However, once I got the mentorship I needed, it put me on the fast track to achieving results.

I believe you can do it too, but…
