Why Motivation Is Not Enough In Network MarketingBy André Vatke
The problem with motivation is that it fluctuates on a daily basis. One day you are energized and motivated and the next day you’re zapped – losing your motivation altogether. If you are relying on motivation alone to pull you into action or to get you to your objective, chances are that you’ll give up on your goal during a period of low motivation.The real secret to success is to adopt a strategy that removes motivation (not attitude) from the equation as much as possible. This starts with making a grounded decision on your goal. Being properly informed on the pros and cons of your decision as well as viable alternatives will help you make a decision based on reason and logic rather than a temporary emotional high. Making a grounded decision makes the task of self-discipline a little easier. Not even world class professional athletes get out of bed every morning eager to train and condition. Like everyone else, sometimes they are motivated and sometimes they are not. What sets them apart from most people is that they have made the decision to do what they need to do even when they don't feel like doing it. Why should you expect yourself to be any different? So today, make the decision to do the right thing for your future – be it health, relationships, or financial. Review your goals and make the decision to do what you need to do on a daily basis even when you don't feel like doing it. Find a role model to help you stay on track – someone that has already achieved the success that you aspire to. Having a positive role model can be an inspiration because they give you a glimpse of what is possible.
Remember that as you take action toward your goal, doubt and fear start to be replaced by confidence. This cycle of “action – learning – results – learning” when repeated will develop a personal momentum that will over time charge your motivational battery from within.

I haven’t met a marketer yet that wasn’t motivated and excited when they started their network marketing (MLM) business. However, with 70% quitting within just 90 days, it’s obvious that motivation alone is not enough.
