Why You Are Doomed in Your Attempt to Make Money Online and How to Eventually Win the War

Now, you probably have a gut-feeling that in order to be within that small group of people who make it online you�ll have to act differently than those 97% of people who fail, that�s only common sense. So far so good but what exactly is the difference between those who are successful and those who are not?

Of course there is a variety of reasons and if you Google for answers you�ll most likely find these type of answers:

People fail because

� they don�t have a proven system they could be following,

� they don�t have a specific goal they are pursuing and

� they don�t have enough focus.

This might all be a piece of the puzzle and I certainly agree and recommend you to have a specific goal, a proven system and focus, all of that, but even if you had all this in place in your online business the probability to fail is still appallingly high.

The reason is that the online information battle hammers on your attention day in and day out. If you are on your own, like most newbie internet marketers, then you are presumably suffering severely from information overload. How much time do you spend daily to check your email and social media accounts not to miss the next big thing? How much time do you spend to read, watch and analyze other people�s stuff when you could be working on your own products, services and web-pages? I guess way too much, otherwise there�d be more successful online marketers around.

Here is how to win the war:

You need someone from outside looking inside into your business. Someone to whom you�ll be accountable to, someone to help you refine your ideas into practice and someone who has the contacts you need. Someone to keep you on the right track, someone who�s got the experience, the right answers for your questions, who�s been there and done that in order to accelerate your learning curve, because as an entrepreneur you�ll have multi-dimensional tasks to do. Someone who can help you skip a good part of the research part and prevents you from the thousands of pitfalls when you are starting out.

That someone is called a mentor. Go find rel=nofollow [http://mirkogosch.com/easycashwebinar]a wise and trustful mentor and you are set for success. I have a fantastic mentor myself. To find out more about him, click on the link above, grab the free webinar recording and prepare to be amazed.

Abraham Lincoln's Leadership Style is a Model For Every Manager, No Matter What Business You Are in

Lincoln would offer advice in the form of a suggestion. He rarely gave "orders". His objective was to have the other person feel like it was his/her own decision. This developed ownership of decisions and thus, commitment. He knew that without loyalty and commitment, he would not win the war.

He was a master story teller, frequently giving advice in the form of a story, allowing the other person to draw their own conclusions from their individual experience. Lincoln was a very strong leader through gentle prodding, suggestions and story telling. He disliked strong-arming people. His personable leadership style made friends of even his greatest, most outspoken critics.

He was knowledgeable and made expeditious decisions based on facts. He was meticulous in his quest for facts. Both as a young lawyer and then as President, he stayed on top of the latest developments, knew the laws and frequently reviewed the latest weaponry for his troops. Lincoln wanted only the best and latest technology for his soldiers.

Lincoln's Principles: "Explain yourself in writing and offer advice on how to solve problems. It is important that the people know you come among them without fear. Seek casual contact with your subordinates. It is as meaningful as a formal gathering, if not more so. Don't often decline to see people who call on you. Take public opinion baths. Be the very embodiment of good temper and affability. Remember, everyone likes a compliment. If your subordinates can stand it, so can you. Set a good example. You must seek and require access to reliable and up-to-date information." Donald T. Phillips from "Lincoln on Leadership".

How this applies to your Network Marketing business.

1. Be personable, approachable and available to your people when they need you.
2. Stay on top of the latest technology and tools.
3. Make decisions based on facts. Stay honest and upfront with your team.
4. Talk to your people even when you don't need something - develop that relationship.
5. Remember that everyone likes a compliment.
6. Don't just delegate; practice what you preach.

Managing in Network Marketing is more "hand-on" than with other businesses. You must develop a relationship of Know, Like and above all, Trust. Following Lincoln's principles for leadership are sure to make you very successful with your team retention.
