The Lottery Ticket Mentality

Today I would like to spend just a couple of minutes talking about the lottery ticket thinking that we find quite often in our profession of network marketing. Many people call it the lottery mentality.



The lottery ticket mentality is what makes people buy a lottery ticket for a few dollars with the hope that they are going to be winning the lottery and receive a lot of money in return for the few dollars they "invested."









It also applies to other areas of our life wherever we expect to get a lot for the small amount we give, whether it be time or money.



Often times we see the lottery thinking in network marketing as well. Too many times we network marketers, in trying to convince our potential clients that they should join us, tell them that it is so easy that anyone can do it. We tell them that the product is so good that it sells itself, and all they need to do is to get just a few people to buy it; or in the case of the opportunity, that they just need two or three people to join them. Sometimes we even promise that we will do the work for them.



The potential recruit then has a destructive thought planted into his mind. He is thinking about two or three people that he knows that would be "just perfect" for this opportunity. So he joins thinking that those two people are going to make him wealthy. That is the lottery method.



And then what happens when those people don't make him rich? If the new network marketer was counting on those people, and they tell him "NO," he will probably just quit, or at least not do anything to make his business work.



Network marketing is NOT a lottery. It is real work. And it is hard. Network marketing is simple, it is not complicated, but it IS hard.You have to put in some work and take a lot of action. Your success is up to you, not up to your upline or your downline.



Fortunately there is a lot of training available if you do decide to really work at your business and to not treat it like the lottery ticket method. You can actually learn how to attract people to your business so that you don't have to chase them down and try to get them to be interested in what you have to offer.



You can actually attract people who ALREADY are interested in what you have. Then you just have to show them what you have and then let them make the decision as to whether to join you or not.



That is what I do....I teach people how to attract interested people to them without promising them the moon and without promising that I will do all the work for them.



Let's get rid of the lottery ticket mentality in our network marketing profession!
