“Your character is what you really are, while reputation is merely what others think you are.” — John Wooden

This famous basketball coach simply asked his players to perform to the best of their ability. He told them not to worry about the opposing players because they could only control themselves. If they played hard, the outcome of the game would normally be in their favor. They could not control if the other team had a lucky game.

It’s the same in network marketing. Don’t worry about the outside influences that you cannot control. Instead, worry about what you can control — your own personal performance.

And learn the hard-core skills of communicating to people. Instead of idle chit-chat or talking or presenting, learning exactly how to communicate to their subconscious mind’s programs is the skill we should concentrate on.

If you commit to performing to the best of your ability, your bonus checks will take care of themselves.
