Is Your Network Marketing Business Your Favourite Hobby?
I love my hobby, well actual I love both of them. It why I do them because of the pleasure I get from them.
My first hobby is following my football team Leeds United. It’s a time consuming, expensive hobby and one that’s had it’s up and downs the last few years.
It takes up quite a bit of time at the weekends since I live over 200 miles away from their home ground so I have about a 7 hour round trip on match day. Is it worth it, well yes if we win but it’s a hell of a long drive back to Swindon from Leeds if we lose.
My second hobby is one that I wanted to do as a job when I was a child and that’s cooking. Again it can be a very time consuming and expensive hobby.
From the preparation time to the buying of weird and wonderful ingredients that in all honest I may not use again for a while as there is always something new to try.
But for all the time and money I put into them it really doesn’t bother me because they are what they are, a hobby. And hobbies are supposed to be time consuming and expensive.
Why did you start you network marketing business? More money, spend time with your family, fire your boss maybe?
But are you treating it as a business or a very expensive, time consuming hobby?
You have to treat your business as a business and nothing else. It is there for you to work and to make money from not to take money from you. You have to use efficient planing and efficient action in your business everyday.
I think the reason why some many treat it as a hobby is because they are still in their comfort zone. What I mean is they still have a full time job and are just really looking at alternatives to their current lifestyle.
Maybe it doesn’t matter if they make money or not because they can simply quit and go back to the day job.
If I’m honest I would say that in the very early days I treated my business as a hobby because I was in a comfort zone and I found it difficult to step outside that zone and do new things.
Maybe that is the real problem, stepping out your comfort zone, talking to new people, doing something that you have never done before.
However help is at hand and by having the right system and training in place stepping outside your comfort zone is so easy because now there is no chasing people, giving presentation, trying to push you opportunity onto anyone who will stand still long enough.
People come to you and want your help so your business becomes a business and not a hobby. Using attraction marketing and a system that offers your prospects a solution you are best placed to step outside that comfort zone and start building your business.
Make time for your hobbies just make sure your business is not one of them.
If you want to have a very expensive, time consuming hobby might I suggest you take up golf. There is always the 19th hole if you have a bad day.
