Expecting Success

Expecting success is something we all take for granted but in reality a lot of people have their mind set on failure or fear.

Just like anything else, success starts in the mind, and from there the thought, then the action corresponding to the thought.

A lot of us prepare for success by performing busy work and never taking the leap of faith necessary for switching the mindset over from preparation and hard work to that of success.

A lot of us spend a lot of money thinking if we only had the correct computer program, auto responder, or opportunity, success would automatically come overnight.

So why doesn’t success come overnight? Mainly because true success is not a program, auto responder, or an opportunity.

True success is made and expanded upon by building relationships with other people. It doesn’t matter how many people are signing up, whether it is a pre-launch, or whether fifty thousand people have discovered the opportunity.

Success is the science of listening to the other person, building a relationship, gaining that persons trust, and then joining or partnering with that person.

No people, no success. No sign ups, no success. No traffic, no success.

• One of the major hindrances to success on the internet is every opportunity, program, or web site, promises instant riches, and overnight wealth. The majority of the programs are scams or just don’t work.

• Another hindrance is not having the ability to talk one on one with the person. It is difficult to build a relationship through capture forms and email.

• In order to sell anything of value, the seller must have the ability to build value in the product before he can sell it. That is hard to do without being able to see the person who is interested in your opportunity.

Years ago I used to sell vacuums door to door. Almost everyone would say no and slam the door in my face. If I continued to knock on enough doors, I would come across someone who would let me demonstrate my vacuum.

If I could show my vacuum three times, I would sell the vacuum once. It then became a matter of knocking on as many doors as I could. The numbers proved that the more doors I knocked on, the more sales I had.

Once inside the house to demonstrate my vacuum, I made sure the conversation was about the customer and his or her needs. We talked about kids, vacations, carpets, and anything else he or she wanted to talk about.

I did not under any circumstances mention price or commissions or anything else that did not add value to the vacuum. When I had built a relationship with the customer, then she would ask to buy. Until then, I was an unwelcome guest in her home.

The mind set of success is nothing more than making a quality decision that you are going to help the other person succeed. Once that relationship is cemented, you will have a friend and customer for life.
