Actual for You - IKT, The Network Marketers Disease
"I am a peaceful warrior, because the battles we fight are on the inside"That is a line from my favorite self-improvement bookcalled "The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman".Self-improvement is something that definitely needs our attention in business and in our daily life.A member of a forum e m ailed me and told me he found a site that addresses the need for an emphasis on self-improvement and in a way that helps our businesses grow.The NLP Summit is a teleseminar series where you call in and listen to experts like Tellman Knudson reveal their strategie
Another concept that opened my eyes to my case of IKT was the following quote:
"A wise man researches what a fool takes for granted." (author unknown)
Very few people are willing to "drill deep" and truly research any topic, because they already know all about it. And this is where network marketers really struggle. Network marketing is such a simple business in so many ways, that after a few meetings and conventions the novice thinks they know it all. But they don't. Having all
Did you know that your clients and customers are getting hit with approximately 3,000 advertising messages a day! This barrage of advertising noise is making it increasingly difficult for prospective customers to hear what your business has to offer.So, what can a business do to break through this noise and actually have their messages heard by their targeted customers? Many businesses have just simply started to advertise more and louder…which simply compounds the overall problem. Some have tried gimmicks and sales. Still others have simply accepted a stagnant business growth
IKT is a debilitating disease that most of us have. I think I was born with a particularly bad case. I used to attend personal development seminars, hear the guru, and think, "I know that!" And by thinking "I know that", I was essentially dismissing it. The "I know that" complex basically renders the most powerful information useless.
I didn't start to get cured of this disease until I heard one of these guru's telling a story about a security guard he met. This security guard was working nights for $7 an hour watching a building in a resort town. Here is a paraphrase of the conversation as I remember it:
Guru: Have you ever read Napoleon Hill's classic book "Think and Grow Rich"?
Security Guard: Yes, that book changed my life!
Guru: No, it didn't.
Security Guard (offended): Yes, it did!
Guru: How?
Security Guard: Well… (awkward pause)
Guru: Are you going to get rich in your current job?
Security Guard: Of course not, this is temporary!
Guru: What are you currently doing to apply the principles in Think and Grow Rich?
Security Guard: Well, one day I'll find an opportunity, and I'll jump on it, and I'll apply everything I learned in the book and I'll be rich.
Sure. What's wrong with this story? The security guard had a bad case of IKT. He thought he knew what the book was about. He was convinced it had changed his life. And yet he wasn't doing a thing about it. "Looking for something" doesn't really count, does it? We all have to be doing something, every day, towards earning financial freedom, and if we aren't, we are kidding ourselves. But we feel better if we think we "know" the answers.

History and BackgroundWhen the Internet became a major public communications medium in the 1990s, many saw it as a great opportunity for a personal and instant communication system - email.

Very few people are willing to "drill deep" and truly research any topic, because they already know all about it. And this is where network marketers really struggle. Network marketing is such a simple business in so many ways, that after a few meetings and conventions the novice thinks they know it all. But they don't. Having all the answers and getting an "A" on the test aren't what it's all about. Network marketing actually involves mastering several subjects, all of which require study, trial and error, role- playing, and book learning. Subjects include:
Communication
Leadership
Recruiting Skills
Sales Skills
Time management
And that's not a complete list! But let's take just one of those skill areas, communication, and drill deeper. In network marketing the different communication skills that can be developed are:
Live presentation skills in front of a small audience. Live presentation skills in front of a large audience. Written communication The art of promotion How to craft an e-mail subject line, body and signature Telephone skills Blogging Live chat…
Again, this is a partial list. And yet there are books, e- books, seminars and courses available on every one of these subjects! It takes years to become an expert communicator. But because most of us have IKT, we don't even pick up the book. I hope I'm making my point. We can go down the list (have you seen how many books are written just on Leadership?!) And we will quickly discover that if we think "I know that" we are deluded.
The good news is you don't have to become an expert in all of these areas at once. Just spend some time each day reading from personal development books, listening to audios, and attend all the trainings your company offers. Network marketing offers some of the best business training on the planet, and if you just plug in to what your company offers you will be far ahead of the masses, those who "know it already" and quit before they ever have a chance at success, never realizing that it was what they really didn't know that killed them.
So I hope that through writing this article any of you suffering with IKT will become aware of it, as I was when I heard the story of the security guard. Because since then I have learned that it is far more rewarding to be a student than an expert, and it wasn't until I started studying and learning these skills that my network marketin
