To achieve success in network marketing, it is helpful to know the characteristics of successful people. By attempting to emulate these characteristics and by being in touch with your own dreams and goals, you will realize an increased level of success and personal fulfillment.

Success in network marketing*is something for which every network marketer strives but which most never reach.*

But what is success and how does one attain it?*

To understand this, let us examine the word and look at the characteristics of successful people.*Perhaps such an examination will enlighten us.

What is success?

Webster defines success as "a favorable outcome or result."

Characteristics of successful people:

Successful people have a purpose upon which they can build their dreams and goals. It is their "why."* They have a deep belief in and conviction about their dreams.*They are passionate.*They don't allow their doubts to destroy their dreams.

Successful people set goals. *Goals are dreams with dates attached.* Successful people are focused.*They prioritize, and they separate the important from the urgent.*They are able to distinguish their wants from their needs.

Successful people are persistent.*They attempt, and they keep working until they succeed.*It is not whether they make mistakes or even temporarily fail that makes a difference, but rather, it is how they respond to setbacks.

Successful people are solution oriented.*They spend most of their time thinking creatively of solutions rather than dwelling on the difficulties of problems.

Successful people are curious and driven to continue learning.*Ultimate success comes to those who train continually.*School is never out for them because they are committed to learning and growing.

Successful people are balanced in all areas of their lives: spiritual, physical, mental, and social.

Successful people are committed to excellence.*They think of ways to improve and are personally compelled to do their best each day.

Successful people count their blessings and are involved in service to others.

Successful people are positive.*They know what they want and with singleness of mind can positively and purposefully pursue their goals.

Are you the kind of person described above?*Do you know you can change your life for the better in an instant? You can make an immediate decision to become more aware of how you are living your life.*You have a God-given power to choose a life of self-improvement.

Success in network marketing is a journey; it is not a short stroll.*Think of success not as a mountain to climb, but as a high plateau upon which to walk--it is how you stand and talk, laugh and listen, along the way.*Integrity is the essence of your being.*You should continually challenge yourself with excellence and productivity and, daily, pledge to improve yourself and others. What's passing in front of you is life's moving parade.

How driven are you with your purpose and goals?*Are you obsessed with your deepest desires?*Are you motivated enough to persistently search for success?*If so, you have a huge "why."

Start today.*Take one step at a time.*Knowing your reason for wanting success, developing your "why," or purpose, is the first step.*Your "why" will inspire you to remain focused and will move you into action. Without a "why," there is no hope.
