Do you possess the 7 traits of success? Do you have what it takes to be a business builder? According to Richard Poe,people who build "phenomenal wealth" in this industry have 7 successful traits in common.

A Business Builder is someone who has decided to put the time and effort into learning how to grow their network marketing business. You will constantly be improving your skills and gaining more experience, and teaching what you've learned to others.

Some of those who join you will never take action, but if you're reading these pages, you're likely a business-builder (even if right now most of the building is in your dreams!). All the learning you do and the actions you take will eventually produce positive results in every area of your life.

As philosopher Jim Rohn says: "Success is something you attract, by the person you become."

A Positive Outlook

To succeed in network marketing, you must become a positive thinker. Without a relentlessly positive outlook, you cannot promote. Your business will shrivel and die at the first onslaught of adversity.

Like the legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden said, "veteran networkers understand that success comes not from avoiding problems, but from dealing with each problem courageously."

Are You Teachable?

Many people starting out in network marketing, quit before they have mastered the basics. They fail to understand that network marketing is a profession that must be learned like any other.

Past experience is nearly useless in network marketing. No matter how successful you were in your past career, you must learn from those that have already succeeded in the industry and listen to your mentors.

Generosity

Zig Ziglar said, "'I believe that you can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. The way to attain wealth is to give freely of your time, money, and compassion."

For thousands of years, sages have taught the Law of the Harvest as the surest route to success. It simply states that the farmer reaps more than he sows. As in agriculture, so it is in network marketing.

Skin Like a Rhino

Network marketing is enjoying a vastly improved image. Nevertheless, network marketers still need to brace themselves for a barrage of discouragement from friends and family...

Cultivate a hide as thick as rhinoceros skin. And, always remember, that criticism is the surest sign that you're making an impact.

Enthusiasm

Success in network marketing comes only to those who burn with enthusiasm. You can't fake it. You must be genuinely proud of your work. If you're not excited and passionate about your network-marketing opportunity and business, how can anyone else get excited about your product or service?

Drive

If you're looking for a way to 'get rich quick,' try investing in commodities. Network marketing is the wrong place for you.

Incredible Persistence

Many networkers claim that persistence is the critical factor in success. All other traits can be learned or acquired, with time.

But, unless you persevere through every obstacle, then all your hard work, positive attitude, thick skin, enthusiasm, generosity, nor teachability will have a chance to work their magic."
