Robert Butwin's 'Street Smart Network Marketing'
If you are somebody who wants to start your business and attain
ultimate freedom using Network Marketing, you should know (or
learn to know now) who Robert Butwin is.
Robert Butwin grew up in a successful family of self-made
millionaires. However, he later pursued a more personally
satisfying life in Network Marketing. He is a more than
successful Network Marketer as he has twice been named
"Distributor of the Year" by the professional trade
organization, MLMIA.
Butwin has published a book titled 'Street Smart Network
Marketing' which guided Network Marketers, including me
personally, in exploring the street smart wisdom of master
networkers. According to Robert Butwin, "A Street Smart
Networker is a man or woman who has a clear vision of the big
picture, plus the common-sense 'street smarts' to know how to
play the game and win - and to do it with integrity."
In his book, he stressed some very important points to help
Network Marketers achieve their one goal which made them start
this kind of business in the first place: to be free! Free from
a job, free from a boss, free to earn as much money as they
choose, free to spend time with families and friends... and so
much more.
Some of the most important things a Network Marketer should have
or do to succeed are:
Join the right company. The company you choose to
represent will be your 'car' to your success and financial
freedom. So when choosing a company, be as cautious as you would
be when buying a real car. The company, the product, their
marketing resources and tools should all have integrity. Find a
company which sells a product that you could love and that is so
good that sells itself. Choose a company that has such great
marketing tools that you could easily duplicate and literally
'plug-in'. Or a company with a duplicable business system. And
of course the company should pay a juicy amount of comissions.
Here is an example of a company of those qualities: Success University.
Find a mentor. Every successful network marketer have a
whole bunch of mentors, trainers or coaches. Network Marketing
is about duplication! They can help you avoid the mistakes they
once made in the past and help you stay on track as you move on.
Mentors are valuable resources of new ideas and approaches.
Communicate often with them. Successful mentors will always be
happy to help because your success is their success too.
Change your mindset. It's all in your mind! If you
believe that you can make $10,000 per month, then you CAN!
Networking mentor John Milton Fogg calls this "habitudes" or
habits of attitude. In his book, Robert Butwin explains in
detail the powerful 'habitudes' for Network Marketing. In order
to be able to *do and have* what you want in life, you must
first *be* the kind of person you want to become.
Set your goals. Goals are tools to keep you focused and
help you become more and more determined to succeed. Be specific
when writing down your goals. How much money would you like to
earn in 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? After writing it down, put
your goals everywhere, so you will be able to see it all the
time.
Dedicate your time and effort to your team. Network
Marketing works differently from a conventional business. In a
conventional business, you work for a boss who works for his
boss, and his boss works for his boss and so forth. In network
marketing your focus and dedication should go to your team, the
people you lead because they joined you. Whatever you are
planning to do with your business, do it for the sake of your
team. Your team's success is your success. And even with an
excellent network marketing company, your upline's success will
be your success too. Success University is
one of the companies that allows this kind of benefit for both
uplines and downlines.
"No" is not a personal rejection of you. There will be
numorous of people who will say 'no' to your business. Don't
take it personal. Some people does not have the big picture
about becoming free or about the unlimited opportunity that
network marketing has to offer. No matter what you say to them,
they will just never say 'yes'. Make sure that you spend your
energy only for those who share the same big picture with you.
These people should be your target.
You will find more valuable tips on how to become a Street Smart
Network Marketer in Robert Butwin's book. In it he shares in

things that haven't. Guided by his step-by-step practical
advice, you will be able to avoid common mistakes people make
and duplicating successful strategies that has been proven. This
way you will not be like many people who fails and turn their
back on this industry. In doing so, they turn their back on
unlimited possibilities.
