How to Procrastinate & Sabotage Success

Being successful in direct selling is way too easy, so if you’re looking for ways to sabotage yourself, you’ve got to be creative. After all, the steps to success have been so clearly laid out by your leaders. The path to proven income can be easily learned from any of the many network marketing millionaires who so generously offer to share their techniques. Even the mindset that insures success can be absorbed through programs like our subconscious success system.

Procrastination Will Sabotage Business

So, how do you keep yourself stuck in mediocrity? How do you guarantee yourself consistently poor performance? How do you languish long enough to finally realize the futility of your situation and give up in discouragement? Here are a few methods that many have used successfully to sabotage their own success most of which are forms of procrastination:

• Pay a lot of attention to seemingly insignificant issues.
• Think one month minimum for a business card that you need before you can do any recruiting.
• Wake up late, sleeping through your alarm clock repeatedly. Then go through the rest of the day in a rush.
• Find opportunities to fight with your spouse or children about minor things.
• Think for long periods about all the ways life isn’t fair to you.
• Take everything very seriously.
• Spend at least 45 minutes per day on Facebook. Make sure to tell yourself it’s “prospecting”
• Make sure that when you’re out shopping or running errands that your head is too preoccupied to spot opportunities
• Push hard to convince people who have no interest in your business that what you’re doing is good
• Keep your house in disarray so there’s no way to produce useful action in your environment.
• Eat poorly and avoid exercise in order to keep your energy and optimism nice and low.

Direct Sales Meeting Themes

In any situation, having a unifying theme in place often increases participation, excitement and results. Why should it be any different in the world of direct selling? However, while many direct sellers understand the importance of coming up with direct sales meeting themes, when the time to start brainstorming rolls around, coming up with ideas can get pretty intimidating. Fortunately, with a little creativity and a lot of dedication, just about anything can be transformed into one or more direct sales meeting themes.

Think Seasonally For Meeting Themes

Often, you can find inspiration and ideas simply by pulling out a calendar. What season are you in? Is it Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall? Each one of these times of the year offers unique opportunities to build a unifying theme for your direct sales meeting. More specifically, you can look for particular holidays or events that unfold throughout the year and run with them. While Fall may make many think of falling leaves, others think of pumpkins, others think of Thanksgiving while others still will focus on County Fairs. Obviously, there’s a great deal of room for interpretation here, so try to see the seasonal calendar through the eyes of your direct selling team. Google the internet for strange seasonal holidays to build your theme around.

Plant Seeds For Future Of Sales Business

This is my favorite theme. One of the principle rules of direct sales is that you reap what you sow. What you do today effects your business 3 months down the road. If you’re trying to train your team of direct sellers to understand this overriding principle, why not actually use seeds to do it?

You could request that your team members each bring in a packet of seeds – whichever ones they choose. Then, you supply them with potting soil or peat moss, planters and gloves and let them work their magic. Find ways to decorate the potters so that every time they look at their plant, they are reminded to get to work growing their business as well.

Think Up A Vacation Meeting Theme

Everyone loves vacations. After all, one of the reasons entrepreneurs set out into the world of direct selling is to take control of their futures and have more time for families and fun. With a vacation theme at your next party, you can stress the importance of working hard now to retire early, or working hard now so that you can play hard later. How about a vacation theme called “business made in the shade” and ask everyone to wear sunglasses! Have some fun! That is what keeps people coming back for more!

Think Outside The Box Team Meetings

If you are dealing with first-time direct sellers, you could easily stress that they are delving into exciting, uncharted territory where the sky is the limit as far as success is concerned. Meeting themes could be the Dora the Explorer, or pioneering your new business. No matter which of these themes you use or what other themes you come up with on your own, set out to be creative and captivating and see what happens next!

Meeting makers make more money! When you get your team to meetings your team retention and long term growth will increase.  Teach your team how to grow a year round business with more home party plan team meeting ideas.

Direct Sales Success = Overcome The Prosperity Gap

Think back to when you were a teenager. You were making maybe a hundred dollars a week, and you were convinced that if you could double that your money problems would be over. Now here you are several years later, and I’m guessing you’re making a lot more than double that amount. Are your money problems over? No? Why not?

It’s the prosperity gap. You must overcome the thought process that creates the prosperity gap in order to achieve success in your direct sales business.

It’s a fixed gap between how much you earn and how much you need. No amount of effort will close that gap to bring you the success you desire. Making more will only shift your expenses higher so you’re in the same relationship to what you need as you ever were. Think about it. Hasn’t that always been true?  What’s the solution? If the gap can’t be closed by making more (or spending less), what will close it? An increase in consciousness. You need to change your relationship to money, in your head. You need to adopt a new set of beliefs and attitudes about money, or you’ll ALWAYS be struggling.

How do you do that? Through a series of mindfulness techniques, done daily, you can rescript your mental relationship to money. You can become abundant in your mind, and almost magically, outer abundance will follow. If that seems ludicrous to you, think about how ludicrous your approach has been. How silly is it to keep struggling, believing you’re almost there, only to find the target has moved yet again?

How about trying a new approach? How about adopting some new attitudes? What’s the harm in trying? Ultimately, those efforts will pay off, and you’ll be more relaxed and abundant than you’ve ever been. Then, you’ll begin to understand one of the fundamental truths of prosperity; it’s not how much you HAVE, but how little you NEED.
