Yesterday I was again priveleged to attend another of Ed Ludbrook’s webinars on learning to be a successul Network Marketing coach.

Well, during that webinar he explained a theory that really made sense to me, and in a way contradicts a lot of the instructions that are abundant in personal development training.

There is a lot of emphasis placed on us coaches to encourage, including new people we sponsor, to set their goals, dream big, and make these goals their primary motivating force.

Well, that’s always made a lot of sense to me, and it’s the way I’ve approached things with my vision boards, affirmations, etc.

But Ed pointed-out that for many folks, especially people starting a new home-based business, that initially setting the ‘big’ goals isn’t the smart way to become self-motivated. Many people, probably the majority who decide to work from home, just don’t believe they deserve, or are capable of having, that dream home, luxury car; or see themselves capable of earning ten thousand bucks a month!

So with lots of people new to Network Marketing, setting their goals in that format may well de-motivate them, and they quickly lose heart and give-up.

What makes a lot of sense to me now, is that most people, initially at least, want to get-away from many unpleasant and distressing things in their lives. They want to get away from crushing debts, leave their inadequate home in a crappy neighbourood, get their kids out of a scary school environment, etc.

So, when it’s a choice of ‘gain motivation’ or ‘pain motivation’, it’s the ‘pain’ one that the majority of people use to self-motivate themselves with. And, as professional Network Marketing coaches, we need to be aware of this.

Then, as people begin to  build a little success in their business, they start to feel more confident in their ability to actually achieve some of the lifestyle that would love to live, setting the ‘gain’ goals becomes the method they can use to become self-motivated.

In future I will be more concious of encouraging my team-members to consider which type of self-motivation will be most effective in helping them build a successful home based Network Marketing business and develop a significant passive income.

Thank you, friends, for reading my latest article.

We get up when we wake, having dispensed with the formidable buzz of the alarm. Just being able to do this little thing is a ʻgreatʼ blessing to my nervous system for starters! My husband and I get in a leisurely breakfast sitting out on our deck enjoying noise of the many birds in our garden and the warm sunny morning knowing later we can get out into the sun for a walk or go down to the beach for a swim. So begins our day of blessings.

Everyone in our street is off to work somewhere else, today. How could you not love this life? Like everyone else our day does begin with family commitments, like driving our lovely granddaughter to school. Chatting with her is an incredible privilege and blessing.

Generally, our everyday life is not too hectic at all. And this is another blessing. We belong to us all day, here at home. We donʼt have to go out to a small business requiring all of our time, blood, sweat, and tears. We have not spent huge sums of money as we would have either, had we bought a bricks and mortar style business.

Donʼt get me wrong we work very, hard and many, hours in our online marketing business. The difference is the peaceful environment that our home provides makes for an idyllic situation for building an online business. The big plus is we have a life together that is envied by many and that we never want to give up.

Its a blessing to be able to work from home, a privilege that more and more people are learning about. How to build an internet marketing business at home takes discipline and it takes education, lots of education.

Support from real entrepreneurs willing to teach everything they know on a daily basis is a major key to success these days online. It is a blessing to just Skype for help whenever needed.

The most high-profile communities of entrepreneurs online share everything they know with each other and with the likes of you and me. And because they do this we in turn do it making us all stronger and building real businesses producing profits and changing peoples lives along the way.

Our life is being changed and we couldnʼt be happier. Serving others and bringing teaching and value to others makes for such a wonderful life.
