Creating your WHY to Become A Successful MLM Entrapraneur

So, your first step to becoming a successful Entrepreneur in your MLM business should have been researching the company, products, demand, compensation and the amount of people who may already be selling the product(s). Next you are going to want to start your WHY.  Don't pass this over, this is a crucial part of becoming an entrepreneur and not just "another distributor"  The money you make from selling your product really is just that, a little bit extra.  Your real success is in your first 100 days from signing your business, beginning with your WHY.

When I first began in "direct sales" (note I did not say entrepreneur), my lack of success and rising to the top had nothing t

o do with a lack of knowledge. I read, Googled, researched, asked questions, studied, read manuals, and watched more instructional videos than I can count. I had knowledge.  I understood my products, I had basic understanding of what a "Distributor" was. 
I successfully built a social media following (mainly Facebook, I didn't get into twitter, instagram, linked in, google + or anything else besides Facebook.)
What I was missing was a really good “why.” I had thought long and hard about what my goals were, but did I ever attain them?  No.  My first DS company was a total flop, my second DS company was okay I suppose, I may have spent more in product than I actually made but hey, live, learn and I like to shop! ;)
My first goal was to make $5,000 a month. That was a decent goal for me. My original WHY was because I wanted to have my own money, not my husbands but my own.  I had been independent and lived on my own previous to meeting him and having our boys.  I was used to doing things MY way so it was difficult for me to not have that independence anymore.  I wanted to make that Incentive Trip and take others, not having to hold our wallets tight and keep enjoying the things we were accustomed to.
All the books and information about creating your WHY told me to write it down, I wrote down my goal of $5,000.00 per month and why I wanted to achieve it. I felt that $5,000.00 a month was enough to pay my bills, set aside funds for the family to travel and do other thing's that we'd normally say "Well, let's see how much is after bills."  and of course have my spending money for clothes and all thing's girls like to spend money on.  That adds up quick I must add!
Pretty good reasons, right? I truly believed in this goal and my reasons for achieving it. But it was not enough. I needed something more to push me forward, and motivate myself to take action every day.  Nobody told me that becoming a successful MLM Entrepreneur (Not Distributor) was a lot of work!  Nobody told me that every successful person in the business wouldn't just give up the reasons they were so successful, how they built their teams so quickly, how they made it to the top and truly spread out all over the Globe (If your MLM company is global like my current one).  Hard work, but extremely rewarding.
I had to really dig beneath my WHY and ask myself WHY it was important for me to pay my bills, WHY it was important for me to take my family on vacations and keep up our active lifestyle of traveling via our camper, WHY it would be nice to get rid of my truck and drive a brand new SUV again, WHY it was important to put some money away for house renos or in case of emergency, and last but not least WHY it was important to me to truly succeed and help others do the same.
Some of the reasons that dug deeper to my WHYS were that I didn't really get to travel when I was a child.  The farthest I had been was within my province of British Columbia, and Alberta which is one province over until I was 21 years old!  Wow.  I wanted my children to have memories and learn how truly lucky they are for them.
So I asked myself WHY it's important for me to do the above.  Instead of thinking "I need to get up, get out of bed because I want to make $5,000.00 per month to start, to pay my bills, travel, shop & Save.  I started thinking to myself the bigger picture.  Time is ticking... I'm 30 years old and although I love my children to the moon and back, they are my only success in life right now.  I'm giving myself a 5 year plan which exceeds the $5,000.00 per month and I am going to pound the pavement, bettering my knowledge, bettering my skills, "working my business" because I want to not only succeed but EXCEL in my business.  I don't just want to have a limit of only selling some products which is what a distributor does, but I want to create an empire.  In order to do this, I have to truly think about why I want these things in life.  Every. Single. Day.
So, if you've begun your journey as one of my distributors, or you are in a different company, this is the single most important step to starting on your path of MLM Entrepreneurship.
I have now grown a team that has tripled what has taken me over a year to accomplish in my previous "Direct Sales" business.
