  Time is money. That means wasted time is wasted money. If you’ve started to develop an interest in MLM, you’ll hear variations on this theme with high frequency. What you won’t hear frequently, if at all, is advice on how not to waste time. There are a number of reasons for this – many writing about network marketing simply don’t care to think about the “meta” level stuff, and others just don’t want you to know their latest and greatest business secrets. But you’ve hit the jackpot – we want you to know what the secret is: Personal development.
  This is one of those things we say that makes people go, “Huh?”, but it’s true. Not convinced? Think of it this way. If you’re constantly brooding over your personal problems, you will not focus on your business. If you do not focus on your MLM business? What makes you think people will want to join your MLM business? If you keep focusing on why you’re not being successful or why you’re not making money, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. You’re not going to make any money. Keep dwelling and focusing on things that keep you down, expect more of it… You get the idea. This is the first big reason that personal development matters: It helps you make money because it keeps you focused.
  Think of a CEO, a good salesperson, or a talented manager. Now, what’s the one thing they’d all have in common?
  Confidence. Something all successful business people have in common is confidence, and this fact is so important we’ll say it twice: All successful business people, without exception, are confident in themselves, their businesses, and their success, whether present or eventual. Without sufficient personal development, the sort of confidence you need to successfully run a business simply won’t come. But when the confidence is there, it’s easier to sell, which makes it easier to make money.
