Ready, Fire, Aim!
I was recently asked what the number one problem new people had in this business was, and how to avoid it. The answer is quite simply a lack of taking action. For some reason which I’ve never quite understood, some people will read the manual, write a weekly planner, go to meetings, organise their contacts, setup their computer, even redecorate the office - but never take action.
One of our team leaders once said to me, “A bad plan started today is better than a great plan started next week”. The thing is that new people joining this industry need to see results. They need to get sales and start networking in order to prove to themselves that a) the business works and b) they are capable of doing it!
Network Marketing really is a simple business, which just about anyone is capable of succeeding with - IF they take action. Over planning and over analysing too early in the business is just setting yourself up for a fall. The longer it takes to get started the less likely you are to walk out of the door, or pick up the phone and get stuck in.
The most successful people I’ve seen join this business are the ones who “Just do it”. They don’t read the manual, they don’t ask too many questions, they just start following the system they are taught and they see immediate results - and nothing is more motivating than results!
Last month a Kleeneze distributor in our upline’s team managed an outstanding £9,309.64 in personal retail sales from the catalogue, in just 4 weeks, doing Kleeneze part-time around his family and full time job! How is that possible? Simply because Jun Li didn’t over analyse, didn’t spend too much time planning and just did it… Jun Li admits his English isn’t very good, but that didn’t stop him. He started placing 100 catalogues every day before work, collecting them after work and doing deliveries at the weekends… and earned £3444.56 in 4 weeks for a part time business. That was personal retail alone, so imagine what he’ll be earning once he builds a team!

Was is hard work - you bet. Jun probably worked harder last month than most people reading this blog, including the author! However, it just goes to show that success is simply having the right attitude and following through with massive action. I’m sure we can all learn a lot from Jun and I wish him and his family all the best with his new business.
