Top Income Earners Think Differently

Salam to all.
Have you ever been frustrated and wondered why people who are the Top Income Earners in your company seem to just get more and more successful and prosperous (and they make it look so easy too), while other people seem to keep trying and trying, yet it seems like they're going to be stuck forever?

The reason is simple- and it's something you've heard many times before, especially if you've been involved with direct selling for a while.

Your thoughts come before actions. What you think about will come about. So, in order to be "at the top", you've got to think and act like a Top Income Earner before you'll BE a Top Income
Earner.

Today, let's take a look at some of the characteristics and the 'thinking patterns' of Top Income Earners and see how you measure up.

1. They don't have a limited self belief

Top Income Earners believe they are destined to be at the top and there is nothing that can stop them from achieving that financial freedom goal. They're convinced. They will do whatever necessary to reach their goals including doing things that they dislike or taking on tasks that seem impossible to complete. They live right outside of their comfort zone because they honestly believe not only that they CAN do it, but that they're WORTHY of it as well.

2. Time is #1

Top Income Earners recognize that time is their most important asset and a very scarce resource. They don't waste it sitting in front of a TV watching entertainment programs. There is an urgency to their efforts. Like trying to get a plane off the runway, Top Income Earners know you've got to run quickly in this business in order to soar.

They're also experts at using the power of leverage to achieve maximum results with minimum efforts. So, instead of driving an hour to sit with one prospect, they'll make several phone calls and organize a series of meetings or one large meeting in the same location. Same effort - double the results.

3. They recruit "up"

Many networkers only prospect people that are at the same financial level as they are. They're either afraid or have a limiting self belief that hinders them from prospecting people who they consider to be "higher up" in life.

Top Income Earners do the opposite. They want to network and learn from others who have achieved more and are wealthier. So they purposefully look around for the heavy hitters and recruit those
folks into their business.

4. They invest in themselves

To many people who are struggling financially, the best way to manage money is to use less of it. And spending money on training or their business is considered an expense. However, Top Income Earners have a different viewpoint. To them, spending a certain amount of money to acquire an asset or skill is an investment. Aninvestment that they know they'll get back tenfold.

5. They have strong self-confidence

Top Income Earners have a high level of self-confidence that is often contagious. They're optimists who keep a positive outlook at all times and they don't allow their confidence to be easily shaken by external factors.

6. They manage their money well

In order to really live the dream, a successful Top Income Earner not only earns a lot of money, he/she also learns how to invest and manage that money. They don't spend their money aimlessly
buying things that have no real value.

Many Top Income Earners started studying and learning about managing their finances BEFORE they had any real finances to manage! This goes back to not having limited beliefs. Top Income Earners are prepared to handle the additional income and wealth that success in this industry brings.

7. They give back

Top Income Earners are generous and care about others. That's the nature of our industry. You've got to help others become successful so you can be successful.

You don't get to the top overnight. You face many setbacks and challenges to get there. To Top Income Earners, setbacks and challenges provide valuable lessons that help them find the way to great wealth as well as strengthen their ability to face adversities in life.

Because of this they give back to the people on their team and in their communities. They have a passion for helping others.
