Building a successful long term network marketing home business requires a commitment level higher than most people realize. Too many “would be” entrepreneurs sabotage themselves with the mentality that if the give it the old “college try” for a couple of months that they really gave it their best shot. Nothing could be farther form the truth in my opinion.
First of all, if someone uses the word “try” in regards to building their network marketing home business, they are already setting themselves up for failure. The word “try” is a mentally built in subliminal in excuse to fail. So I always tell these to remove it from there vocabulary. Don’t “try”, just “do it” no matter what.
With that being said, a new home business owner needs to ask themselves what their “why” is before they even get started. If your “why” is very strong, then so will be your commitment level. You will look at obstacles as steps bringing you closer to success. If your “why” is weak, then your commitment level will be weak as well and you will quit as soon as adversity hits you in the face.

Here are some key question/indicators that will reveal your commitment level to your network marketing home business:
1. Are you actually using your product or service yourself? Are you on auto order? If not you are definitely not “IN” and will never have real success.
2. Are you enthusiastically passionate about your business or is it just something your doing to hopefully make a few bucks? No passion will tell your prospects that your not “IN”
3. Are you sharing your product/service with as many people as possible? If your hesitant to share and not proud of your opportunity, then your not “IN”.
4. Are you plugging into every available training call and support platform your company offers? If not, your not “IN”
5. Are you attending live events? This is a biggie and usually the single biggest factor to look for in a true commitment level. If not, your not “IN”.
These are the top 5 “litmus test” indicators on the commitment level of individuals to their network marketing home business. If your not checking off each question with a definite “Yes” then I would re-evaluate your role as a business owner before going any further. Why waste your time and money and especially your sponsor’s time if your not really “IN”?
Do you think successful CEO’s of fortune 500 companies are skipping their company conventions and not passionate about what they do? Of they are,why shouldn’t you?
Not only do you want to decide what your own commitment level is to your business, but also your own consultants you recruit. There is nothing worse then spending hours of valuable time with someone only to see them disappear like Casper the ghost without even trying. I always ask how serious a person is, and most importantly watch their actions in regard to the “5 question” check list. If they are not showing the commitment, I suggest you do not show then yours in regards to training them.

Bert,
Again, you hit the basics here of what so many different network marketers should realize – but yet haven’t even thought of yet, or are completely ignoring.
I hope your leads and your team read what you’ve written here.

I agree the word “try” in business is a recipe for failure.These are mostly tire kickers.Live events is a must,not sure why some people avoid this.Meeting person to person is a whole new ball game.Great post Bert..

Bert,
Excellent post. You must be a product of the product. No one will believe in it if you don’t use it.
Thanks Linus. All we can do is provide the information and the rest is up to the individual.

Thanks Carlos!

Thanks John,
To have passion, one must truly believe in their product or service and must use it.
Kind of a “no brainer” I think.

Hey Bert,
Unfortunately too many people will never get “it”. They “claim” they understand and are “in” but they never do anything to validate that point.
Excellent point and, like always, excellent post.
To Your Continued Success,
Bill
