Is playing it safe keeping your network marketing business small?
Are you doing all the things in your network marketing business, but somehow still not getting the results you want? You’re posting on social media. You’re creating the Canva graphics. You’re talking to the people you already know. You’re attending the meetings and doing the things that feel productive. But are you actually growing, or are you simply doing the things that feel safe? In this week’s episode, I’m talking about something that came up inside my membership during our five-a-day challenge. One of the members realised that she was naturally choosing the actions she liked doing - the things that felt comfortable - rather than the things she was avoiding. And it made me think about how often we do this in our network marketing businesses. We stick to the safe things because they make us feel productive. We’re doing something, so it feels as though we’re making progress. But more often than not, the results aren’t coming in at the other end. I talk about my own experience of doing exactly this when I first started in network marketing, and how I gradually realised that if I wanted to grow, I had to start doing some of the things that felt a little less comfortable. That doesn’t mean throwing yourself straight into the scariest thing you can possibly imagine. I talk about working around the edges of your comfort zone instead - doing something that feels slightly awkward, stretching it a little bit at a time, until those things start to become normal. I also share my own experience with social anxiety, from a time when simply walking into a supermarket could make me physically sick, through to speaking on stages in front of thousands of people. That didn’t happen in one huge leap. It happened by taking small steps and gradually making the things that felt unsafe feel safe. So I want you to have a think about your own business. Where are you staying safe? What are you avoiding? What has been sitting on your to-do list for ages that you know you probably need to do? And rather than telling yourself you have to go and do the whole scary thing today, ask yourself what one little thing you could do that takes you a step towards it. Sometimes it’s also worth asking yourself not only, “What’s the worst that can happen?” but “What’s the best that can happen?” What could change in your business if you got used to doing this thing and it eventually became normal?
