Network Marketing Has A Spiritual Side To It

If you understand Network Marketing (meaning, the genuine distribution business model based on relationship referral, not like all the money schemes out there), you will see it's spiritual side. The Christian faith and Network Marketing, are very similar.

Here are a few examples:

1. If you want long term success in Network Marketing, there is no way to get around building relationships with your prospects and downline.

Those who just want to bring large amounts of people into their businesses don't really care much about helping others meet their goals, only on making money off of them. If a person senses that you are trustworthy, and that you are interested in helping them achieve their goals, they will stay with you.

2. Network Marketing is all about producing more of yourself, your time and your money.

Building a long term income requires that we teach our downline how to be successful so that they are growing and so that your business grows too. Although we cannot 'make' them work, we can certainly inspire them and teach them how to do network marketing. Christianity is all about leveraging our time and resources too.

Jesus, the Master, delegated responsibility to his disciples by teaching them how to go out and reproduce more disciples.

Isn't that the work we're doing in our organizations?

Finding a few good 'workers', teaching them the business of recruiting and building other leaders and continuing to multiply this in our businesses. By teaching and training your downline, you're not doing all the work and your business grows exponentially.

We create an environment where others become teachers also, and as a consequence, our time is freed up as more and more people in our downlines take on more and more responsibilities.

Teaching your downline means knowing what it is that they need so that you can help them. Are there areas in their businesses where they are having problems? Show them how to succeed in those areas. Jesus does that with his followers. He makes sure that all their spiritual needs are met by teaching them and providing for them, so that they are empowered to live as he wants them to live - in holiness.

That is also the way the church is set up - it is a place where people receive all the training they need to live a holy life, where they know God better, and to for stimulating each other in the faith. are trained in holy living for each area of their lives, to learn about God and

As a good sponsor, we should supply excellent training to help them in all facets of business building. Aside from good training, our downlines need a 'community' where they will receive motivation, inspiration and encouragement in their businesses - a place to be celebrated and recognized for their achievements.

By doing these things for them, it prospers their businesses, but also, it helps prosper our businesses too. Like it's been said before, "we succeed when we help others succeed."

3. If you genuinely desire to build a prosperous six figure income, using Network Marketing as your vehicle, then faith and patience are necessities for your travel.

Many Network Marketers fail in their home based businesses because they can't handle the rejection that comes along with the package. When they don't see immediate results, they hop to another opportunity or quit altogether.

In order to create a prosperous business in Network Marketing, one needs to believe in the process and scatter lots of patience on it as it springs up and grows.

So what does all this have to do with Network Marketing and spirituality?

First, the mark of the Christian Faith is about serving others and truly helping them prosper. It's not about deceiving people so that I get what I want.

It's true, we are working in Network Marketing to make money for ourselves, but our attitudes and spirits have to be right. It's more like servanthood marketing.

If we are in Network Marketing just to make money, then our attitudes and actions will reflect that in how we treat our prospects and downlines. People know when we truly care about their success.

Second, even Jesus asked for assistance with reaching the lost with the gospel. He created a team of twelve men and equipped them with everything they needed so that they could bring others in and become followers of Jesus.

The twelve disciples stepped out, practiced the teachings Jesus taught them and replicated Jesus' teachings in others. Today, the gospel has spread like a virus, and it is known throughout the whole world.

There's no difference with Network Marketing. Recruiting 100 people is not necessary to build a large business. If we use wisdom in selecting 5 - 10 people to work closely with, they will all learn the same things and they will teach others how to do the same things so that eventually, we will see movement and growth in our organizations.

It's all about creating other leaders in our organizations just as Jesus created twelve leaders and those twelve created more leaders.

Third, Napoleon Hill and Jesus taught a similar principle which is "you could move mountains if you had faith as small as a mustard seed". There are many books written about the importance of thinking positively.

It's impossible to succeed in Network Marketing with a negative attitude. A positive attitude will motivate you and inspire you to greatness. A negative attitude will kill your dreams and keep you in mediocrity.

I can continue to enumerate the many similarities between Network Marketing and Christianity, but it would take a book to finish it all.

The bottom line is this: We can't build a Network Marketing business all by ourselves. Building lasting relationships, treating others as we would like to be treated and being honest in our business is what it's all about. It's about being the best that we can be and growing up.

Acquiring a positive mental attitude, staying focused, dedicated and committed and getting the right training will help us attain the outcome we are looking to achieve in our Network Marketing businesses. There's no limit to what can be done. There are always higher levels to achieve.
