Don't Let Mistakes Stop You Dead In Your Tracks...

So one of the key things in building your MLM or Network Marketing business is consistency. Well as you can tell from my archives I am still struggling with this. ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM!!! I must say that the holidays and seasonal colds and the flu have been running our household for a few weeks. I am sure that many of you can identify with that. I apologize for not posting more often.

SO what happens when you mess up? Well you can (and probably will) lose some of your leads and team members. Unfortunately not everyone is ready to step up and be a leader for themselves.

You can recover. Making mistakes will show people that you are human. Apologize, give a brief explanation and move on. Let others learn from your mistakes, something good can come out of the set back.

I am not saying that you have to go out and make mistakes to become more marketable, you're sabotaging whatever efforts you are making at establishing a trusting relationship. Now you can take the mistake and turn into a blog on "What Not to Do..." and go into your personal experience. Talk about why you did it in the first place- what mislead you into thinking it was a great idea to do it, what your expectations were and how they were not met.

Its not easy swallowing that lump in the throat and admitting to your mistake, but it will help you in the long run. Its better to ask for forgiveness than to lose credibility with your leads and team.

See you tomorrow...
