Those who are proudly in the league of successful network marketing today have incorporated all these seven effective habits in their activities.





1 : Be Proactive
2 : Begin with the End in Mind
3 : Put First Things First
4 : Think Win/Win
5 : Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
6 : Synergism
7 : Sharpen the Saw



1 . Be Proactive


The first habit of Highly Successful People is to 'Be Proactive'. In our life, at every step of the way we are going to face choices. There will always be several ways out for doing something, even for coming out of the problem or a complication in our life. However, whatever be the size of the problem, the final power of making the choice is vested in us. Our life is shaped by the choices that we can make and not by the conditions that we face.

Any business ventures that we undertake needs a proper implementation of the this habit (Be Proactive). We cannot run businesses, or make money for that matter, on autopilot. One you have made a decision, you need to have the dynamism to implement it.The Circle of Influence is much larger than the Circle of Concern. This is only possible when the entrepreneur is proactive in taking decisions about the solutions to the problems. Being proactive is the most essential trait needed here.

Being proactive also means accepting one's mistakes and moving on. The 'moving on' part is the most essential. Learn from mistakes and go on.




2 : Begin with the End in Mind


The most important gift of being able to begin with the end in mind is that we are able to route our activities in a particular direction that is more dependent on our personal efforts than anything else. How mental creation of an objective is an important as its physical creation. When we think about what we will get the end of the day, we are already much better placed to make it happen in a concrete manner. As things progress, we can change our actions so that the final product will turn out to suit our actions in a better manner.

In network marketing, if you make a mental picture of having 500 new contracts within 60 days, you already know what you are striving for.You will put your efforts in that direction. However, if you begin with a hazy thought, like having some new contacts at the end of month, you actions will be hazy too. Keeping a concrete idea in mind of what you want helps admirably in really accomplishing it.

So how do you go about the actual accomplishment of what you have visualized ? For that you will need three important ingredients - leadership, management and productivity. Leadership here refers to personal leadership which is nothing but your own visualization of the concept. Management means how you put people and resources together to acquire what you want. Productivity is the actual activity that is involved.

Hence, the point of start should actually be the point of finish. You have to begin with the end.




3 : Put First Things First


This habit is a natural progression of the earlier two habits mentioned in the blog. First habit, States that a person must begin any task with self-awareness that it can be accomplished. The Second habit speaks about how the person's actions must be organized, keeping the end purpose in mind. The third habit states that every person needs to prioritize things according to their importance and urgency. 

A person who has this sens of prioritization in their mind will always be successful at whatever task they undertake.



This table clearly indicates how a person must go about their tasks if they want to achieve success. Lets Discus...

The tasks are divided into four quadrants, very similarly to what is shown in the table. 

The Quadrant 1 contains things that need immediate attention and are very important.

Quadrant 2 has important tasks but they can be put off for a while.

Quadrant 3 contains tasks that are not important but is needed to address them quickly.

Quadrant 4 includes all the activities that are not important to the progress of the business and do not need any urgent attention either.

 It is important to note that none of these quadrants contains a complete list of the activities that it must include. Depending on the nature of the business, there are various other things that can be put in.

A person who really wishes to succeed in business must concentrate on Quadrants 1, 2 and 3. It may seem that the Quadrant 1 is the most important for highly effective people, but in reality it  is the Quadrant 2. This is where the person can make network, plan and prepare for tasks and actually implement knowledge. For the networking world, it is highly important to focus on the task mentioned in the Quadrant 2 in order to succeed.

On the other hand, Quadrant 4 is the most detracting from any venture at hand. People must avoid indulging in these activities as far as possible if they need to move on toward greater success in their businesses.




4 : Think Win/Win


Let us look at how a typical business negotiation works. You will have to deal with this situation a lot in your networking business. Even when you approach people at the start, they are going to ask you what is there for them in joining you network. Only if you are able to show them something that will really go ahead and join your network. That is actually going to work in your favor too, because if they join your network, it is your business that is going to flourish too, along with theirs. So, in this way, you are making a decision that is mutually benefiting, and that is actually the only one that works.

This is true in any kind of business enterprise. You will definitely need to interact with people. There may be instances when people will wish to work with you without any immediate benefit for a short term but if this continues, it is not going to be to your advantage much. You have to consistently think of win-win solutions for everyone involved in your ventures so that everyone can move ahead with it and progress.

When you are making a decision that concerns only you and no one else, you have every right to make sure that the decision you. As long as your choices are not harming others, this thinking in a win-win manner will lead you to greate success in life in everything that you do.




5 : Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood


The habit says that everyone must seek first to understand and then to be understood. What does that actually mean? IT means that when you are in conversation with someone, you have to first make sure that you understand what the other person's circumstance is. If you think about it, when you put yourself in the place of the other person, most arguments will die a natural death because then you can see their perspective.

Why is this important in a business? It is important mainly because it helps everyone to progress. When you try to understand the other person, you are clearly seeing the constraints that they are working with. As a employer or as a networking leader, you will definitely try to remove these constraints. And when you do that, there will be no reason for any misgivings left. This is when you can easily make your point clear.

So, the correct proceeding here is that you have to first try and understand what the positions of other people are. Only after you have completely understood what the situation is about, must you try and think whether you are justified in making your own point. This habit may be difficult to inculcate in the beginning, but once employed it can be a great tool for generating goodwill, which is of paramount importance in any business venture.




6 : Synergism


We are very well aware of how strength lies in unity. In network marketing, ideas may be individual, but they work much more effectively when they attain a collective nature. 

Synergizing simply means collecting. Here, it can mean bringing together ideas of various persons or parties together and bringing them to the most optimum shape that can be put to use. The sum is always greater than its parts. An individual idea may not be quite implementable, but when it is honed and sharpened with inputs from other ideas, it can become quite workable. What we commonly know as brainstorming sessions is actually a method of synergizing ideas. However, it is not that brainstorming mus be restricted to the corporate world and it is not necessary that it should always be physical. It can be very well adapted to the network marketing world too.

The real success comes when you coordinate with people and bring forth ideas that will be progressive and also mutually benefiting to everyone involved.



7 : Sharpen the Saw



7 of the 7 habits of Highly Effective People, the impression is that the person has already put forth his primary efforts to become effective and now tis the time to sharpen the saw. This means that the person needs to make sure that his or her efforts do not stop there.They keep getting improved with each passing day so that the person reaches the zenith of effectiveness. 

Actually, there are three main aspects of the body that need constant and consistent enhancement. These are the spiritual enhancement, the physical enhancement and the mental enhancement.

The spiritual enhancement is about bringing the person closer to his or her inner self. The second kind of enhancement that the person needs to do is physical enhancement. It is necessary to keep the body sharpened through exercise. Mental enhancement refers to enriching the knowledge. This includes learning and keeping updated on developments.

You may reach your peak in your business, but if any of these paoint fail, you may begin your descent.
