Peter was very enthusiastic when he joined my colleague's
team. He said that he could see himself doing well with the
company and earning a good income. He saw the potential of
network marketing and in particular our company.
Yet two months after joining, he called to say that network
marketing was too hard and that he was going to quit the
business. This is quite a common occurrence in the industry
Many of us have seen this happen.
Even though his sponsor tried to direct Peter right from
the start, and communicate that it would take work for him
to earn a substantial income, from his network marketing
business, Peter didn't seem to get it.
What is at the root of this lack of persistence? This
inability to see the job through? Peter, like others in a
similar position, had not convinced his subconscious mind.
For simplicity sake, let us say that the mind has two
components. The Conscious and the Subconscious. It is only
when our beliefs become certainties that we reach the
subconscious mind. Put it this way. The conscious mind is
constantly sowing seeds, the subconscious mind is the earth
that receives the seed. In order for the seed to grow, the
subconscious has to be imprinted with emotion and deep
feeling. It is those thoughts, beliefs and actions that we
truly entertain with emotion and certainty that become the
seeds that take root in our lives.
Remember when you were learning how to drive a car? How you
had to be Conscious of every movement...your hand on the
gear stick, your foot on the brake...but once you got it,
it became a habit, it became second nature. You had
transfered your driving skill to your subconscious. Your
repetition, or practice led to it being imprinted in your
subconscious.
The Subconscious records and retrieves data. Through the
autonomic nervous system, it keeps our heart beating and
keeps us breathing It is like a huge memory bank, it
records everything. It takes its command from the Conscious
mind. Whatever we accept consciously, becomes acceptable to
our subconscious mind. It is like a homing device,
depending on the data the conscious mind has programmed
into it, it keeps you within your comfort zone.
Anytime you want to start something new or do something
different, you will feel awkward and unsure, it's the
subconscious that does not feel comfortable. Why? Because
you haven't 'sucked it to see' before trying to do the
thing. You haven't 'tried it for size' so to speak.
So,how to change our life and break out of our comfort
zone? To go back to Peter, he was not totally convinced
that Network Marketing is a viable way to earn a good
living, so he was not able to convince his Subconscious.
When the subconscious is convinced about something, it will
do everything in its power to make that thing happen, to
realise whatever is held in its memory bank. So if you have
convinced your subconscious that you deserve to do well in
your relationship, for example, it will go to work to make
your conviction a reality. If you convince it that you
can't really do well in network marketing, then that is
what it will believe and create for you.
But, how do you know whether your conviction about network
marketing has reached your subconscious? If someone were to
wake you up in the middle of the night and say: 'Do you
think you can make it in network marketing' if you answer
an emphatic YES, without thinking about it, that means you
believe it with every fibre deep in the depths of your
subconscious mind.
How to Communicate with the Subconscious to Boost your
Business
The subconscious mind works best and most productively when
programmed at a time we feel particularly relaxed. One of
the best times to programme it is just before we fall
asleep at night. That half asleep/half awake state is ideal
for influencing the subconscious.
So for example, if you want to build conviction in your
self that you are in the right industry, that network
marketing is the way for you to earn serious money, then
the best thing to do firstly is to use your CONSCIOUS mind
and find out as much as you can about the industry, the
potential and the people who have succeeded in achieving
the lifestyle and money you want for yourself.
Next, just before you fall asleep, at night, start to think
about all those people who have achieved and then imagine
what your lifestyle would be like once you start to
achieve. Do this every night until you begin to feel
conviction growing in you, certainty and a positive feeling
about being able to succeed in Network marketing.
Then slowly and gradually this attitude will become second
nature to you, you are convinced and your subconscious is
too. And you will gradually begin to see more and more
success and growth in your business.
