MLM Training - Fear Of Failure? Fear Of Success? Part 1

Why Overcoming Fear Of Failure and/or Fear Of Success Is The Most Important MLM Training Topic That You Have Likely Never Been Trained On!

You know what I find most interesting about MLM training? The large majority of the training resources available deal with how to build a MLM business. Everyone has their different philosophies and techniques on how to actually go about building a downline.

However, for the overwhelming majority of those of you reading this who have not achieved the success you want, the problem isn't you lack the how tos.

The how tos are so readily available, it's amazing. Do a search for mlm training at Google or your favorite search engine and you will find a host of websites and other resources teaching you how to build a downline.

Yet I bet if you look at all of those resources most, if not all of them deal with what I believe to be the NUMBER ONE reason why most MLM distributors fail to achieve the success they want in this industry.

It is because of an inability to overcome fear of failure, fear of success or in many cases both!

Overcoming The Fear Of Failure In Your MLM Business

Let's start with the fear of failure because this is the one that I believe I personally struggle with the most. A fear of failure is when you are afraid to do something because you believe that you will not get the result you are looking for.

So in the case of building a MLM business, a distributor is afraid to build the business because they are afraid that their efforts will not produce a successful downline organization. I believe one of the biggest contributors to the fear of failure is our education system.

We all know that in life one of the best ways to learn many principles is by trial and error. You cannot read a book on swimming or riding a bike. You only learn how to swim or ride a bike by trial and error.

However our school system actually punishes our kids for failing and making mistakes. They are taught that they must get good grades in school, else they won't be able to go to college. If they don't go to college they won't get a good job. If they don't get a good job they won't live a good life.

Fear of failure is simply the result of negative programming and misconceptions about success and failure.

How can you tell if you suffer from a fear of failure? Are you a sore loser or were you a sore loser as a kid? Are you a perfectionist and you feel that you cannot do anything until you have it down packed absolutely perfect? Do you constantly look back at your life to previous mistakes that you made and say to yourself "if only I would have done this, or if only I would have done that?" If so, you likely suffer from a fear of failure.

One of the best ways to overcome a fear of failure is by engaging in MASSIVE ACTION! Some people would have never learned how to swim unless someone didn't push them into the water where they had no choice but to sink or swim. This is the type of action that you need to take in order to get over a fear of failure in your MLM business.

Are you afraid of talking to prospects because you think no one will want to join you in your business? Then talk to a lot of prospects all at one time. If you absolutely cannot get over the fear to get yourself to start talking to prospects for your own business, go get a part time sales position immediately!

Many of the best distributors in the industry today were absolutely terrified to talk to prospects. However, after getting a part time job where they had to talk to lots of people, they were able to overcome their fear of failure through massive action.
