What New Distributors NEED to hear… but may not want to hear.


A message from our new Director of Sales, Mike Potillo: 



Dear Future Diamond, 



Here's a quick lesson that a new team member learned over coffee; Hear it, internalize it, teach it.

I was sitting down having a cup of coffee with a person new to direct sales and the questions started flying:
  • What do I do, where do I find people?
  • How do I blitz? What do I saw when I hand them a card?
  • How do I achieve the goals I have set?
  • How do I do a Wrap party?
These are all great questions, and with the It Works Way, while the answers are quite simple, I had to stop him because we have to cover the first things first.

The secret to success in network marketing doesn't lie in any of that. The secret lies in YOU and how you program your mind for success.

Sounds kooky right? Well, it isn't. Don't you remember viewing the slide in the Business Presentation about your dreams being THIS BIG and your income being this small? Don't you want to change that around?

I used to think if I could just get some things going in my business everything would be okay and success would just—POOF—happen. But guess what? It didn't.

Then, I changed my thinking.  I started reading the right books, getting around the right people, putting pictures of goals all around the house, and I started programming my mind for success on a daily basis. Guess what? Everything else just kind of fell into place. Isn't that interesting?  It Works has Dream Boards for you to start your business off right; to get you in the right mindset so you are ready for the abundance that is getting ready to come your way.

Before all the retailing, prospecting, and sponsoring starts, we have to get ONE main thing straight: your business will never grow larger than you do. Repeat that. Your business will never grow larger than you do. Your business will grow only as fast as you do.

Sounds funny, right? Well guess what?  It's a fact and if you really want to build it big you just have to get familiar with that statement. Speaking of big, I bet there are a lot of big thinkers out there. You should probably pick up the book by David Schwartz, The Magic of Thinking Big.  It's a great, fast read to get the juices flowing.

Here's to personal growth and truly launching your business right!

P.S. For some of the best business practices in personal growth, start reading through Proverbs :)
