Can We Be UnHappy in Network Marketing?

JenniferF on September 3rd, 2012

For those who think we Network Marketers are always happy?. like we?ve been drinking too much of the Network Marketing, home based business kool-aid, let me assure you? there are plenty of unhappy people all over the world ? in AND out of Network Marketing.

A good friend of mine, Matt Geib, shared an article by Chris Guillebeau at ?The Art of Non-Conformity? titled ?How to Be UnHappy?.? I thought I would share the highlights of that article with you today.? If you want to read the whole article, click on the The Art of Non-Conformity? link right here.

Buy things you can?t afford or don?t want. Either choice is a sure fit for unhappiness. When you buy things you can?t afford, you go into debt, which limits the other choices available to you. When you buy things you don?t want, you lie to yourself about the real source of your unhappiness.

Compare yourself to others. The love of comparison is the root of much misery. Therefore, judge your success or worth based on other people, especially those with a different background from you. Do this on a continual basis, always looking for a new idol or competitor in which your ideal unhappiness lies.

Take no joy in the journey. Focus only on the destination without appreciating the ride. Fail to celebrate small successes, and neglect to pause for reflection on how far you?ve come.

Respond instead of initiate. Take no responsibility for your schedule or preferences. Let other people set the agenda for your life. Take the lead for your schedule from your Inbox, voicemail, or someone else?s demands.

Allow other people to determine your values and priorities. Set no compass point for your life. Drift in the wind. For best results, allow your values and priorities to shift as you waver between bosses or role models.

Refuse to challenge yourself. Take it easy and settle into routine. Choose to believe that all stress is bad and seek to live as relaxed a life as possible.

Whine and complain to anyone who will listen. Explain how the world isn?t fair and how you would do things differently if you were in charge. Bonus: this practice also allows you to contribute to other people?s unhappiness.

Focus only on yourself. Refuse to forgive. Hold on to grudges. See the worst in people. Do not give out free lunch.

Settle. Accept things as they are no matter how unsettling they might seem. It could always be worse, right? Live in the complacency of your situation and refuse to fight for something better.

What I?d like to ask you to do is to LOOK at your Network Marketing business and ask yourself?

?Am I creating any of these conditions in my business??

?Am I creating any of these conditions and passing them on to my team??

If you are, then YOU also have the choice to take a step back, see what you can do mentally to correct the situation and then move forward in that new mental direction.

?

Remember this always?. whether it?s a team of one (YOU) or a team of hundreds?.

YOU ARE THE LEADER of YOUR TEAM.

Others are going to follow your example?. Happiness really IS an inside job?. so keep your ?inside? happy and share the results with your team and the World.
