Whenever someone talks about building a downline, we automatically think in terms of Network Marketing. The fact is, same principles apply to two tier affiliate programs.

The first rule to succeed with two tier programs or mlm is to build wide fast.

Why?

If less than 5% of new marketers ever succeed, that means 95% or more of those you sign up will join and not do anything.

If you're sitting on bank using a fishing pole, you're on slow boat to China. You'll end up frustrated and more than likely throw in towel before you've even given yourself a chance.

Things will occur that will challenge all of us from time to time, but believe in your dreams, be committed to achieving your dreams and continue action steps forward that will lead you in that direction. Be committed to yourself and continue to grow as a person through personal growth and development.

We all have choices in life and each of us can choose to be successful in our Network Marketing business. It's a conscious decision. That's right, it is as simple as that. We can simply DECIDE to be successful. However, there is one more thing that goes along with that decision. We must follow that decision with an unbending belief in ourselves that steps we're taking are right ones that will lead to success of our dreams and goals, even if it doesn't seem like it everyday. That's why it is important for a well-balanced Personal Growth and Development program to focus on and include, Belief and Self-Trust, Goals, Daily Action Steps, Understanding Fear and Self-Doubt, Affirmations, Prosperity, Law of Attraction & more.

We have power inside ourselves to make things happen that will bring about success we choose for ourselves.

I'm sometimes asked how long it will take to have a certain number of people in a downline or how long it will take to make a certain amount of money. I don't know answer to that and it doesn't matter, because time is not focus. When most people get started in Network Marketing, they're excited, inspired, touched in their very heart, but yet feel some challenges. That challenged feeling usually represents self-doubt or fears that haven't been addressed. By improving self-esteem and self-confidence through self-trust and belief, that challenged feeling can lessen and open up much more room for positive empowering feelings, which allows for real personal growth to occur that is preparation for achieving your dreams. The learning experience and process becomes fun.
