No matter what type of business you have, you should understand traditional business practices. Be responsible with finances and project financials for the year. Being successful in any business will require you to make an investment in yourself and your business. You need to stop making things up to justify your fears in business and take action.

Many people want to sell products they haven't tried, saying things like "when I make the money I will buy them." The problem is you won't have the knowledge and enthusiasm to really support others. And don't get me started on those who think Network Marketing is a pyramid scheme. You have a business if you make money from the sale of a product or service. And NWM pays you to share their products.

I want you to think differently about your business today and how it's not that different from traditional businesses, such as Nordstrom's. To build a successful business, pay attention to these five areas.

1. Project your financials: No matter what kind of business you have, you must project your financials for the year and be responsible with finances. By doing this, you will be able to plan for the future and make informed decisions.

2. Build my personal brand: It's important to build a personal brand that stands out and offers value to the people you serve. To connect with your audience, you should share from an authentic place.

3. Try the products you sell: Direct sales and network marketing are similar to traditional retail models in that you should always try the products you are selling. By doing this, you will be able to provide your customers with better recommendations based on your understanding of the products.

4. Invest in yourself and your business: Investing in your business is the key to long-term success. Take risks and pursue your goals despite your fears.

5. Think outside the box: Try new things and think outside the box. Implementing effective business and marketing strategies will allow you to leave a lasting legacy.
