Network Marketing / Olympic Gold Medal Success Secret
EVERY Olympic athlete has a coach. The top ones hire their own personal coach.
I’ve had my own mentor-coach in network marketing for sometime now. One person actually once told me he thought it was a weakness for “people like you to admit that you need a coach to help you.”
A weakness???
I replied that having a coach was (and is) one of the smartest things I have ever done.
A coach keeps you accountable and focused. There are just so many opportunities in life to get sidetracked.
It's very easy to get stuck doing things that will never get you ANYWHERE!
Pro athletes like Tiger Woods, Bobby Bonds, Peyton Manning, all the big stars, have several coaches. Each coach teaches their own specialty.
How To Choose A Coach
I’ve been married almost 15 years. If I wanted marriage counselling, would I talk to someone who’s never been married? How about someone who’s graduated from college with 3 or 4 degrees and never been married? Would I go to someone who’s been married for 2 years or 5 years, when I’ve been married for 15 years?
Or would I talk to someone who’s been married 20 or more years and who has raised a couple healthy, happy kids like myself.
Who would you want to get your coaching from? Somebody who has experienced it, or somebody who hasn’t?
Many of the coaches today in network marketing have never built an organization. Or they built it 5, 10, 15 years ago, but they can’t build it today.
As the old saying goes, “if you can’t do, teach.”
So these network marketing coaches go out and teach people how to do what they can’t do. What they did 10 years ago worked 10 years ago. But it doesn’t work today.
So instead of being on the cutting edge of technology and learning (and USING!) the state-of-the-art in network marketing business-building, they hold themselves up as a coach!
If you’re going to be coached, you want to be coached by somebody who is doing it NOW, someone who is active today.
It’s crazy, but there are even ”coaches” who promote it as a virtue that they no longer do network marketing. They’ll tell you this lets them be objective. They’ll tell you that you don’t need to worry about them recruiting you into some other business.
Here is the truth: there’s a lot more money in network marketing than there is in coaching … IF you can actually do network marketing, AND you can do the coaching anyway, while you’re building your business.
So why isn’t this person in network marketing anymore?
Easy. It’s because they can’t do it. Plain and simple, they can’t build it.
It is completely insane to choose as your coach someone who is not currently not doing marketing. You are being ripped-off, plain and simple.
I’ve even talked to a couple of these “unbiased” network marketing coaches who actually don’t like network marketing. They don’t believe in it. Yet they will gladly take your money to coach you to success in network marketing!
One more thing … 90% of these coaches tell you that YOU have to change. They say you have to get out of your comfort zone, become this “A” type personality. And THAT is the reason it doesn’t work.
Those “A” personalities can go out and do anything and be successful at it. But 92% of the world can’t do that. And when you go out there telling them they have to change, it’s no wonder there’s such a high failure rate in network marketing.
Here’s what I think:
1. You’re perfect just the way you are.
2. You need belief in yourself, belief in the business.
3. Learn some skills.
4. Take action.
And to coach somebody in network marketing, the biggest thing they need coaching on is their belief. They don’t believe in the industry, their company, or themselves.
Most top business people have (or once had) a true mentor, someone who’s done it before and knows what to do. The person with a mentor has a big advantage. I would be honored to be YOUR mentor, no matter what company you are in.
As your coach, I will believe in YOU until you can believe in yourself!

Perfect article......
Hey Dan,
I wanted to give you some KUDOS for this subject matter. As a former football player, I recieved so much ridicule for leaning on my coach as much as i did. You know what, a GREAT COACH falls into the same category as a Youth Minister, a School Counselor or a Best Friend!!! Their purpose in your life is to LISTEN, MEDIATE and sometimes to give an OBJECTIVE OPINION about what's going on. Your personal coach will give you the truth....UNFILTERED!!! A GREAT COACH is a very good psychologist without the LARGE bill at the end of his session. Everyone needs a coach in their lives to keep them grounded and focused. I wouldnt be here today, had it not been for Coach Wilson............. R.I.P. COACH
Coaches
Without coaches we are lost. Coaches are here to give us direction.
Keep up the great work.
Your Friends
