Hi Guys –

Today I played Doritos Crash Course on Xbox Live, and to be honest I didn’t want to play it because I suck when it comes to games where every move has to be perfect to get a good time. But to my surprise it taught me how to be a success in network marketing.

But my mate made me play it and I am glad he did.
You see my mate is very good at this game and has loads of times in the top couple of hundred people in the world.

So this is what happened, my mate played the game and runs through it, and gets a fantastic time, over and over again with few mistakes. When he is playing it he is trying to shave milliseconds off his time because the times are so good.

When I played it, I didn’t know the basics let alone the advanced stuff. So I was fumbling all over the place, making tons of mistakes and recording times double and triple what my mate was.

I sucked at Doritos Crash Course

But this is the thing, I didn’t think to myself once
‘Ah man, I suck, because I can’t get that super duper time that my mate is getting’

Instead I looked at his time and realised that time was possible when I have had a ton of practice like my mate has. Then I concentrated on my times, my skills and my mindset. So I would get a time of say 1.46, and my mate would get 39 seconds. So my goal wasn’t 39 seconds it was to beat 1.46, I knew I could do it because I had seen exactly how my mate got 39 seconds. So I knew that I could shave 5-10 seconds off my time.

So that is what I did, my goal was just to be slightly better than my first attempt, and then when i reached that goal, my goal was to be slightly better than my new time.

Being A Success In Network Marketing

So this brings me back to being a success in Network Marketing. When I first got into online marketing, I was looking at the pros and comparing myself to them, they were making sales every day and I was looking at my results and not getting many.

So instead of this mindset I needed to switch to one that compares my results to my results, just like in Doritos Crash Course.
Each day I can be slightly better than the day before.

I can talk to more people about my business
I can do more blogs
I can help more people achieve more

I can record my results each day, and over time I can see where I am shaving seconds off my time, in other words getting more sales through more action.

So every day I can become better and better, and when I look at the pros doing it, I can think ‘ Cool, I am edging closer and closer to them because my personal results are improving’.

So What Did Doritos Crash Course Teach Me About Success In Online Marketing?

Anyone can do it, but first learn the basics, and then gradually improve every day through massive practice and action. Then when you get good, the difference between the best and you will be tiny.

Thank you to Doritos crash course for teaching me how to be a success in network marketing.
