Fearless Networking – Is It Really Possible for You?

Want to Become a Fearless Network Marketer? Want to possess that feeling that you are invincible, ten feet tall and bulletproof and able to prospect AND enroll anyone you decide to speak with? Want to have the self-confidence that attracts others to you like a magnet? Want to let rejection roll off your back like it never happened? Want to possess the personal power that literally guarantees that your success and the success of those who join you is inevitable?

All this and more is possible if you possess a rock solid belief in your income opportunity, your company, your products, and most importantly, yourself.

In fact, when you possess extreme confidence in yourself, it is quite easy to gather the evidence needed to be able to speak confidently about our profession of network marketing, the company you’ve decided to join with and the products and opportunity you represent. It all starts with the #1 ingredient essential for manifesting your tremendous success and realizing the happiness, fulfillment, peace of mind, and satisfaction that accompanies it:  Self-Esteem.

Fearless networking as a result of possessing extreme self-esteem is about feeling good about yourself in four key areas:

1)    Your ability to influence others. When you can persuade others to see the same value in your income opportunity and the company and products that make it possible, you will possess the personal power to attract them to your business. Knowing that you have this ability to create rich value for your prospects while listening through their objections without taking their concerns and fears personally or being attached to them ‘getting in’ will give you the confidence to prospect anyone with the knowledge that if they knew what you know about your opportunity, they’d surely want in. When you feel confident about your ability to make a compelling case for your prospects to join you, they will sense your unshakable belief and be attracted to you as a business partner and sponsor.

Your ability to influence others also applies to your role as a coach and mentor. Your team looks to you for guidance, insights, coaching, and problem solving. To best evaluate how you measure up in these areas, ask yourself “Would you want you as your sponsor, partner and mentor?” If not, what elements are missing that would allow you to gain in personal effectiveness and the ability to influence others and bring about a result?

2)    Your competence and ability to produce your intended results that move your business and life forward with velocity! When you know instinctively that your ultimate success is inevitable, this vision of your success will create the self-motivation to do whatever it takes to bring about that success as a self-fulfilling prophesy. You expect to be successful and so your actions are in alignment with this expectation. Any problems that you encounter on the way to the accomplishment of your goals look like temporary challenges that you will confidently solve as you progress along the path to realizing your objectives. Nothing can stop you because you know that your ultimate success is guaranteed. You know you have or will get access to whatever is needed to overcome all obstacles. You are not attached to anyone needing to join your business because you know that motivated business builders and leaders await your discovery. You are confident about your ability to make others great and coach them to step into leadership and achieve success. As a result, you prospect with a posture of competent personal power, not neediness, doubt, or scarcity. You are offering others a true gift and those who join your team are indeed fortunate to receive such a gift. Your energy is attractive and charismatic. It is never insecure or desperate and your prospects sense this and it is attractive to them. The possibility of failing or quitting does not even enter your mind as your expectation is that you will be wildly successful. This expectation gives you the fearless self-confidence to manifest it deliberately.

3)    Your significance to others. Because you live and act deliberately in your business, you are well aware of the qualities that characterize your being. You acknowledge your strengths and work to improve upon any weaknesses. You do not react with anger and later beat yourself up over unfortunate actions that strain or destroy your relationships. You do not wallow in self-pity or linger in a state of sadness or depression because of faulty interpretations that do not support your personal power, happiness, or business success.  You take responsibility for seeing the glass always as overflowing (not just half full) and know that it is up to you to ensure that this always be so. You know that abundance is your birthright and that you are on the path to claiming this right. You command the affection, appreciation, and attention of others because of the person you are. You are important to others because you live moment by moment from your declaration that proclaims…I am a powerful, charismatic, abundant, and contributing leader who possesses the ability to alter lives with my opportunity. Others ‘get’ who you are, respect you as a leader and love and appreciate you as a person, friend, mentor, and coach.

4)    How you see yourself from a moral perspective. You conduct all your business dealings with integrity and virtue. You walk your talk, honor others, and leave them whole in your communication. Your actions are sourced in love and guided by wisdom rather than fear and anger. You give up your right to invalidate yourself or live according to any disempowering past evidence that makes you small, incapable, or a victim. Knowing that perfection is not possible, you forgive yourself for your mistakes and forgive others when they err. You do what is necessary to clean up any mistakes, apologize to those you’ve hurt, and recommit to doing better next time. You have empathy for what it is like in other people’s worlds. This means that, although you might not agree with or condone their behavior, you have an appreciation for the fact that everyone does the best they can do consistent with how they see the world and others. You believe in your ability to impact others and be a force for good in the world.

Fearless networking can be summed up in our relationship to three concepts. These are:

1)    Commitment
2)    Problems
3)    Responsibility

When we possess crystal-like clarity about what our commitments are, we can consciously return ourselves to honoring them. This is particularly important when we are tempted to take the path of convenience instead. Convenience might look like the decision to NOT prospect someone for fear of rejection, fear of not being liked, or the desire to look good (and not look bad.) In our network marketing business, we can envision ourselves as progressing down a road that offers us many opportunities to choose. We can make decisions that either support our commitments, goals, and vision of success…or make choices that lead us away from these. The more we become accustomed to making decisions that align with our commitments instead of our fears, the easier it will be to do so again and again. Before long, we will have developed the fearless habit of selecting the path of heart instead of the path of convenience.

Fearless networkers are not fazed by problems. They see problems as opportunities for breakthroughs in their businesses and lives rather than bad and to be avoided at all costs. With this powerful relationship to problems, fearless networkers have the ability to take risks, instead of playing it safe. Rather than doing whatever is necessary to avoid the likelihood of a problem arising, they step into the unknown, welcome and embrace problems, knowing that new insights and greater wisdom await them on the other end of tackling the challenge.

Fearless networkers accept responsibility for everything that shows up in their business. They realize that responsibility does not infer blame or fault. It means that they come from the interpretation that they somehow attracted whatever is showing up around them. Because they have attracted it, they also have the power to attract something different if they do not like what they see. Fearless networkers know that the world is an abundantly rich storehouse of everything they need to overcome any obstacle and manifest all their dreams. Responsibility requires creativity, communication, self-examination, and belief in one’s ability (with the support of coaches and partners) to solve any challenge and produce a result simply by identifying what elements might be missing to bring about the desired outcome. Responsibility means giving up the right to be rejected, invalidated, stopped, or disempowered.

Fearless networking requires a commitment to lifelong personal development. It recognizes that there will always be new lessons to learn that will support us to grow in love, empathy, and wisdom. Because of this, there is nothing to fear, only much to learn and gain. Success is about being in love with the process, day in and day out. Fearless networkers know that there is no arriving, no accomplishment that will finally make them worthy and allow them to achieve ultimate satisfaction. They know that their decision to contribute to others with the gift of network marketing is a noble and worthy one.

When you conduct your business and lead your life from the perspective that you are clear about the value you offer and confident about your ability to champion others to realize their dreams, you possess an awesome power that translates into extreme success. This attitude can transform you or anyone you know into a fearless champion of others, confident of their ability to impact lives with the gift of network marketing.
