Almost on a daily basis I’m asked the question: I want to go into business, can you give me some ideas? What can I do?

..

“He who deliberates at length before taking a single step will spend his whole life on one leg” Chinese Proverb.

I truly can’t answer that question for anybody.

What I can do, however, is highly recommend and promote network marketing / multi-level marketing, as it is a fabulous tool for anybody wanting to get into business and gives you a proven business model that works – quite simply, it is ‘micro-franchising’. Provided you don’t ‘vomit’ all over people with your opportunity; provided you treat the business as if you paid a million dollars for it (i.e. a real franchise business); and provided you learn business fundamentals (i.e. marketing, sales, networking, etc)… then you will be more successful in network marketing / multi-level marketing compared to going out on your own and winging it – even more-so if you have never encountered business before, or have yet to master the entrepreneurial mindset.

Even global leaders such as Robert Kiyosaki, Mark Victor Hansen, Robert Allen, Donald Trump, Brian Tracy and President Bill Clinton (amongst others) endorse network marketing.

Of course, there are thousands of network marketing / MLM companies out there… so the next question I frequently get asked is: Which one?

And you know what? I truly can’t answer that for you either. (Note: a good guide when undertaking your due diligence: http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/MLM_DUE_DILIGENCE.html)

Which company you decide to partner with will be determined by your own ideals, values and passions. If you haven’t gone through my values, wants and needs worksheets, this is a great place to start. Because if you’re not in a business that is aligned with your values; then it won’t sit true for you and, quite simply, you will not succeed in that company. It will not hold your interest long enough in order for you to build a long-term, profitable business.

Next step is to define what you are passionate about.  And I mean, deeply passionate about… something which makes your stomach churn with excitement. Something you feel so passionate about that you can’t sleep at night because it has you jumping around all over the place with crazy excitement… something that really lights your fire!

And sometimes, this can be hard to define.  In ‘Living An Abundant Life’ with co-authors Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Dr Wayne Dyer and Neil Donald Walsch, I wrote about connecting with your inner child to find your abundances (or passions) in life:

“What ‘picture’ did you create when you were dreaming of who you were going to be when you grow up? Did that image come real in your adult life? If you created the picture, it must mean something to you. If you are not currently in the picture you created, there is no reason why you cannot re-invent or transform yourself into that picture you hold in your mind. When you are living in your picture, you are feeling abundant.” ~ Tara West in ‘Living An Abundant Life’.

If you can’t define a passion that really excites you, I invite you to have an exploration session… think back to when you were a child (or young adult). What really interested you? What subjects did you excel at? What did you dream of becoming one day?

You may discover you have several passions which you can utilise in the one company. For instance, as an example, I have a passion for personal development, a passion for transforming lives, and a passion for marketing; all of which I meld into my network marketing company which is in the personal development industry.

Once you’ve defined your values and passions, you can then set out to determine which network marketing / multi-level marketing company will fit your needs. Because when you find a niche, product or service that you are truly passionate about, and is aligned with your values, you will not only feel like you never ‘work’ a day of your life, but you will also be committed, focused and happy to share your opportunity with others in a genuine way.

“If thou follow thy star, thou canst not fail of a glorious haven” Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

If you find that one of your passions is personal development and making a difference in the lives of others, then I extend an invitation to success and invite you to work direct with me in your own network marketing company.

I wish you a blessed and fruitful journey, full of everything that your heart desires.
