Do You Have the Top 7 Success Traits?

Do you have what it takes?
According to Richard Poe, author of WAVE 3: The New Era in Network Marketing (the New York Times bestseller, which has sold over 200,000 copies), people who build "phenomenal wealth" in this industry have 7 traits in common:

Trait #1: A Positive Outlook
"To succeed in MLM, you must become a positive thinker. Without a relentlessly positive outlook, you can neither sell nor recruit. Your business will shrivel and die at the first onslaught of adversity. Like the legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, veteran networkers understand that success comes not from avoiding problems, but from dealing with each problem courageously."

Trait #2: Teachability
"Many new recruits make the mistake of quitting before they've even mastered the basics. They fail to understand that network marketing is a profession that must be learned like any other. Past experience is nearly useless in network marketing. No matter how successful you were in your past career, you must listen to the instruction of your sponsor and stay with the program until you've learned the basics. As Mark Yarnell, top Nu Skin distributor, says, 'Every great network marketer was a lousy network marketer at first'."

Trait #3: Generosity
" 'I believe that you can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want,' says Zig Ziglar.
For thousands of years, sages have taught the Law of the Harvest as the surest route to success. It simply states that the farmer reaps more than he sows. As in agriculture, so in network marketing. The way to attain wealth is to give freely of your time, money, and compassion."

Trait #4: Skin Like a Rhinoceros
"As Wave Three takes hold in the economy, network marketing is enjoying a vastly improved image. Nevertheless, network marketers still need to brace themselves for a barrage of discouragement from friends and family. . . . Cultivate a hide as thick as rhinoceros skin. And always remember that criticism is the surest sign that you're making an impact."

Trait #5: Enthusiasm
"Success in MLM comes only to those who burn with enthusiasm. You can't fake it. You must be genuinely proud of your work. If you're not excited about your network-marketing opportunity, how will you get anyone else excited?"

Trait #6: Drive
"If you're looking for a way to 'get rich quick,' try investing in commodities. Network marketing is the wrong place for you."

Trait #7: Incredible Persistence
"Many networkers claim that persistence is the critical factor in MLM success. All other traits can be learned or acquired, with time. But unless you persevere through every obstacle, neither hard work, positive attitude, thick skin, enthusiasm, generosity, nor teachability will have a chance to work their magic."
