Most of the training and consulting I’ve done with new Network Marketers has lead me to one conclusion. No one has a plan. Going at it this way is a recipe for disaster and the unfortunate reason more that 95% on Network Marketers are still failing miserably today.

I cannot stress this point enough! The plan is the basic foundation for success and far too many are expecting their sponsor or someone else to work out the details and it never happens. Others never really give it much thought which I’ve found even more astonishing.

In many cases, I’ve asked individuals if they have a plan of action and they quickly respond, “Oh yeah, I’ve got a plan of action!” Then I ask them to produce it for me. I tell them that I’d like to take a look at it and more often than not they tell me that it’s in their head. Well here is what I’ll say to that, If your plan is in your head, then more than likely your success will be in your head too!

This may seem a bit extreme but the truth is the truth and unfortunately it hurts sometimes. Most will never make the long term commitment to a plan and that’s why they will never get beyond a certain level.

Look at it this way, if a professional sports team went into a game without any sense of what they were gonna do and tried to wing it on every play, how do you think they’d do? Or maybe the question should be how bad do you think they would do?

You guessed it, it would probably be a losing season to say the least. But this is exactly what I see home business owners do each and every day when it comes to planning.

Now I do realize that many Network Marketing companies have training and support to some degree, however, significant planning is really missing in most companies I’ve seen over the years. Many get skills that are never implemented because they were never added to the “Playbook”. Most bounce from tactic to technique never really gaining any real momentum.

We all know that doesn’t work in any business or endeavor and that proper planning produces peak performance, right?

Committing your plan of action to paper is critically important to your overall success in your Network Marketing business. Without a clearly defined map or blueprint, very few achieve success. Break down your goals into little action steps that eventually get down to what you need to do every single day to reach those goals. Don’t fall victim to the number one reason Network Marketers are failing today, a lack of planning.

There are many other practicals that I go over in detail on my site that you may want to take a look at. This information could make the difference between success and failure as I know it has for me.
