Get Started

Out of a thousand people who buy into a network marketing company, only five will achieve success. In network marketing circles, success could be measured by the income that one brings in. These days, for one to be considered “successful,” one must earn at least P50,000 a month from network marketing. One in five is quite a low number.

This ratio—five out of 1,000—is more or less the norm in many other professions. But these stats could be improved. In network marketing, as in many professions, there is a general formula for success.

Start with a Goal
Start with a goal, and not with action. Many new network-marketers, excited to share their new-found opportunity, eagerly invite their friends to join. Before you do anything, sit down and determine first how much you want to make per month. How much income do you want to accumulate in the next five to 10 years? Your goal will provide the overall plan and activity rate of your career.

Commit to Action
Action creates results. A plan that is not executed just remains on paper. Take your plan one step at a time. But take a step. Commit to make that prospect list of 100 names. Commit to make that first call. Commit to learn the business in the next four weeks. Commit to making your first presentation on your 10th day as a network-marketer. You don’t have to be perfect and flawless when you start. You just have to start writing your story, your success story.
