The Seven P’s of Success!

Prior Previous Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance

Wow! That is a mouthful but what does it mean in the world of Network Marketing? Well unfortunately it means everything. Let us break it down and find out why successful people always are conscious of the 7 P’s. Let us look at why such emphasis should be placed on planning.

Prior – Before we begin our adventure we must have some sort of vision of why we are taking this journey. If you were traveling to say Disney World in Florida you would have reasons why this was a chosen destination. What were you going to get out of this journey? Why is this important to you? In network marketing you should list your ‘Whys’ and this should be used as a guideline to further your resolve when things don’t seem to be going as smoothly as you would like.

Previous – As the word suggests this overall thought of becoming a network marketer is not a spur of the moment decision. This it the type of business that gives you life, it is your soul, it is what makes you get up in the morning, it is what makes you ‘tick’. This is your predisposition. You never really have to work because this is not work but it is something you love to do.

Planning – Now this sounds like something we all can use. But the very successful of us have a definite plan that has been shaped by our vision, ambition and yes our mentors. Some people call these mentors our masterminds, some call them close business associates but whatever they are called, they have helped shaped the design of our business plan and how we will proceed day to day to develop our business model.

Prevents – Dictionary definition is that it is ‘to keep from happening or developing’. Now isn’t that exactly what you want to do? Stop your network marketing business from becoming a failure. Prevent the failure. Of course you do. You want the opposite of failure, you want success.

Pathetically - Do you want your business and you to be thought of as being extremely or pitifully inadequate? Of course you don’t. But this is what happens if you do not have a carefully contrived plan of action to follow and not go into this business in a carefree cavalier way.

Poor – The lack of wealth, material possessions or means of subsistence. This is what you will try to avoid with every fiber of your being. You cannot never be lacking in skill, ability or proficiency if you are ever to be successful in this world.

Performance – This is the end result of your endeavor. This is what it is all about. This is the result of your labors. This should be characterized by your success in your chosen field. How your business evolves and grows reflects on you, your morals, your ambitions and your very being. Make sure you are reflected well in this category. I will discuss in greater detail the planning phase of a successful marketer in later articles and rest assured that it will be very well thought out. Best wishes in finding that special combination of Planning, Persistence and Knowledge.
