Are you insecure about presenting your home-based business?
The only way to get more confidence is learning more about network marketing and yourself. Break past your fear by simply doing what you fear a little at a time. The more you go through the feelings over fear and realize you survived, the stronger you will become in scary situations.
a) If your scared about prospecting on the phone, memorize your script, get on a three-way with your sponsor, or call one number a day and work up to two a day and so on. Fear only goes away if you experience it. I know that sucks to hear but it’s the truth.
If you don’t believe in your product or network marketing as a whole, you’re not going to go far. Finding a product you love is the first priority in starting a business. It seems obvious, but it’s not. I’ve had struggling distributors come up and ask me why their business isn’t taking off only to find out they don’t even use the product of the company they are in!
Another big issue people have in becoming successful in network marketing is their belief in money and wealth. So many of us have been brought up to despise the wealthy and turn our nose up when it comes to the benefits of having lots of money.
My money blueprint has fluctuated over the years, but you only make as much as you believe you’re worth. Yeah, you can pretend to believe that you’re worth a million dollars, but deep down you don’t believe it. We need to reprogram what we believe deep down inside.
b) If you’re scared to present your opportunity in public situations, then don’t do it! Once you realize that network marketing is about building trust and friendships first, you won’t feel any pressure presenting your business. It will naturally come up when they ask you what you do, or bring it up later when you discover they have a problem in their life that you can solve.
If you count on other people to build up your confidence – you leave yourself open to letting other people take it away from you.
Greatness threatens people. Which is why you need to be great. So who are you leading? And what do they need from you?”
If you want to be seen and heard on the internet, you need to provide value, not spam. When I first starting tweeting about my MLM on Twitter it sounded like:
“Earn $5,000 a month!” (This is how the majority of network marketers promote their business.)
Provide something tangible and something people are interested in actually hearing. More like this:

Giving instead of taking is what we need to focus on. Yes, it’s tempting when first starting your business to just promote your opportunity links everywhere without providing value, but the more you learn and mature in your marketing efforts, the more people will listen.
Creating free value is easier than you think. One of my mentors, breaks it down into four key steps:

Usually for the price of a cell phone bill, you can partake in being a home-based business owner with a product that you love. The potential of staying in network marketing is the potential unlimited income and a ton of awesome self-development that no other industry can provide.
