MLM Network Marketing Training-The Secrets to Conquering Fear in MLM.
The Greatest Threat in MLM.
Our greatest threat to success is within US — not ‘out there’.
— It’s FEAR that keeps us from even ‘trying’.
— It’s FEAR that keeps us from taking ‘risks’ (ACTION).
— It’s FEAR that causes us to QUIT – to give up (on our jobs / careers / businesses / education / relationships / marriages.
So what can we DO about that lethal enemy, FEAR? I’ll suggest some steps…
1) I believe the first thing that is imperative for us to understand – and accept is the principle that “whatever we RESIST — will PERSIST”.
I believe that the more we “resist” FEAR – and try to directly “overcome” it – the stronger it gets. The more “attention” we give it – the more it “grows”.
Think about it — it’s like the alien ‘Borg’ in the Star Trek movies – who assimilated other races – announcing: “Resistance is futile!” — This is especially true of FEAR – our resistance is futile. If we resist FEAR – it has “won” – and we have “lost”.
So I believe that the first step in dealing with FEAR is to “accept” it — “embrace” it – “experience” it, fully. I think we should just let it BE there – and discover that FEAR by itself, cannot hurt or kill us. It is just “there” – like the SKY and the OCEAN (and INLAWS) are – ‘just there’.
In fact, I say that FEAR itself is not even bad – except when we “allow” it to limit and control us. We then ‘rip ourselves off’ -and we live a small life. We can even miss our destiny, because of this.
The MLM Darkness.
2) The second step in my view is to see FEAR as a form of ‘darkness’.
How do we rid ourselves of darkness?
Do we fight it – resist it -curse it?
NO — we just let it BE there – and then we simply turn on the LIGHT. The light overcomes the darkness (as long as it is turned ON).
Light is analogous to FAITH – so when we turn on the faith – the FEAR disappears (or at least the ‘power’ of FEAR is disabled). We build an unshakable FAITH – that we’re in the RIGHT place – at the RIGHT time – with the RIGHT Opportunity / Company / Products / Pay Plan / System / Team.
So how do we keep the FAITH (light) ON?
Well, I suggest that CONFIDENCE is much the same as faith. So we create faith by harnessing the past, present and future. Also, since faith seems to be ‘contagious’ – if we ‘associate with’ others who have ‘greater’ faith than we have at the moment – we soon ‘catch’ it. It gets inside of us. In fact – WE then become contagious – so WE “infect” OTHERS with faith.
But what do we do if FEAR just ‘keeps coming back’?
We just keep ‘turning on’ the FAITH.
We should not feel we need to get ‘rid of’ FEAR . We don’t need to. It’s always around (like the trees / lakes). It can even be our TEACHER (we should never let it become our MASTER).
Where do FEAR and FAITH come from?
The Source of Network Marketing Fear.
I believe that both have the same source — our IMAGINATION.
I believe that WE generate or create either one.
We tend to think that FEAR or FAITH come from the “outside” – but actually, they do not even exist for us -unless we CREATE them. There are ‘many’ FEARS that tend to haunt us — illness — money — getting old — failure — you name it.
What about the FEAR OF ‘REJECTION’ (another of our greatest FEARS)?
This FEAR is very real – and it paralyzes most people. But the real problem is not the “rejection” – it is the FEAR of rejection. I believe this FEAR of rejection is something WE create. It is not ‘real’.
How can we ‘overcome’ this FEAR of Rejection in MLM?
We should just face the TRUTH. That’s it – the truth is, that there IS ‘no’ actual REJECTION in this business -even though there is a huge FEAR of rejection. Here’s my evidence…
If I’m “sharing the GIFT” of product – or my BIZ OPP with you – and you tell me that you are “not interested” -or that you think that Network Marketing is stupid – or that it is a scam, or whatever – I may tell myself that I was just REJECTED.
BUT – here’s what actually happened:
— I told you what I believed
— You told me your opinion
— It was different than my opinion
— I made up that you REJECTED me
So where IS the rejection?
The Truth of Fear in MLM.
The TRUTH is – all that happened was that there was a DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. There was NO rejection. The REJECTION part would be something I ‘made up’. The only time I might be REJECTED would be if you said to me – “Peter, I reject you”. Okay, now I “have” been rejected. But how often does that ever happen?
Unless I am told directly – “I reject YOU” – there is NO ‘rejection’ going on. The only “rejection” is what I made up – what I IMAGINED. And with this – I “disempower” myself.
Someone may say – maybe the person just didn’t SAY it – but he ‘was’ actually rejecting you. So let’s check it out. I ask you – “are you rejecting me?” – You are going to say – “No, I’m not rejecting YOU – I’m just rejecting what you SAID (I have a different opinion).
“The TRUTH is – it doesn’t even ‘matter’ whether or not I am rejected – because it is the FEAR that is the problem. Even if you did reject ME, so what? – Am I injured? – Will I die?
If we can just see the TRUTH – that there is no ‘rejection’ anyway -we have nothing to FEAR – just like in the movie – The Matrix -“there is no spoon” (you have to see the movie.).
The MLM Bottom Line.
BOTTOM LINE – let’s choose to create FAITH instead of creating FEAR.
Like the exasperated mother said to her disobedient little boy—”I brought you into the world, and I can take you out!”
Any FEAR that we have – WE created it. So we can “un-create” it – by creating FAITH that instantly “displaces” it.
Let’s choose an environment – and people – that are congruent with – and support –FAITH.
We are ALL ‘susceptible’ to FEAR — and we can ALL ‘become’ people of great FAITH.
We need to remember always, that ==> the two CANNOT co-exist.
It’s our OWN choice.
