Let’s first define affirmations for network marketers, autosuggestion and afformations… then I’m sure you’ll see how they work hand in hand to be dynamic for creating the success you want in business and your life! 

Affirmations are a tool for improving our mental programming… for CHANGING our mindset! It’s a statement about something you want to be true in your life. Basically, lies you tell yourself and repeat daily (but no worries, today I’m going to share how I’ve learned to change these lies into truth!)  

Autosuggestion, defined by Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich, “a term which applies to all suggestions and all self-administered stimuli which reach one’s mind through the five senses… no thought, whether it is negative or positive, can enter the subconscious mind without the aid of the principle of autosuggestion.” 

Afformations (a made up word by Noah St. John) are questions about what you want in your life (in place of statements) and your mind naturally begins to search for an answer, when asked a question! Don’t blow this off. It’s huge. I promise.

Four Steps for Creating Affirmations for Network Marketers

1. The Result You are Committed to and Why
2. The Necessary Actions You are Committed to Taking and When
3. Recite Your Affirmations Every Morning and Evening
4. Constantly Update and Evolve Your Affirmations

 

 

Now, let’s dig deeper into each of these steps.

  

#1 The Result You are Committed to and Why

In The Miracle Morning, Hal points out, don’t start with WHAT we want… because we all want things. He goes on to point out, we don’t get what we want, we get what we’re committed to!

I loved that analogy and feel it’s important enough to say it again, “You don’t get what you want, you get what you are committed to.”

Then Hal uses this example which really drives the meaning home.

“So you want to be a millionaire (as an example). Who doesn’t right? But WAIT…  you’re 100% committed to becoming a millionaire by clarifying and executing the necessary actions UNTIL the result is achieved?

Now we’re talking!” 

So, ACTION Step #1 is to write down a specific result, that will change your life and that you are ready to commit to creating (even if you aren’t sure how you will do it) and reinforce your commitment by including your why (a compelling benefit that you will get to experience).

  

#2 The Necessary Actions You Are Committed to Taking and When

If you skip this step, then #1 above will have been a total a waste of your time. You MUST AFFIRM what you are committed to DO! Nothing is accomplished without effort. 

The more specific your actions are, the better.

Include; frequency, quantity and time frames.

ACTION Step #2 is to clarify (specific) action, activity or habit that is required to achieve your ideal outcome (or result) and state clearly WHEN and how often you will execute the necessary action.  

 

#3 Recite Your Affirmations Every Morning with Emotion

These affirmations are not to only make you feel good. These are strategic. They have a purpose. And in order for affirmations to be effective, you’ve got to say them with true feeling and emotion. 

 

ACTION Step #3 is to schedule time each day to read your affirmations in the morning and evening. The purpose is to program your subconscious (autosuggestion to improve your mindset) while directing your conscious mind to take the actions needed to achieve the outcomes you want. And yes, this is a DAILY activity… but no worries, it won’t take more than 5 minutes!   

 

#4 Constantly Update and Evolve Your Affirmations

Last but not least, as you grow and improve, your affirmations will do the same! This is a life long commitment.

 

Any time a new goal or dream pops into your mind, anything that is connected to an extraordinary result that you want to create in you life — create an affirmation and add it to your daily morning and evening routine.  

 

ACTION Step #4 is to simply type up or write out your Affirmations… and why not create at least one for each area of your life; Business (Career), Finances, Personal Growth, Health, Family (and Friends), Romance, Recreation (Social Life) and Spiritual are some examples to consider. Then commit to reading them daily each morning and evening. WHAT? If that is your response, then please buy and read The Miracle Morning, By Hal Elrod. Your life will be forever changed and you will thank me… and Hal! 

 

“Why” Affirmations for Network Marketers (Afformations)

 

Now, not that everything above is not spot on… and won’t make a BIG difference because it is and it will but in Noah St. John’s book, Afformations (and no, that is not a typo!), he shares a powerful breakthrough that transformed his life and has impacted the lives of many others, as well! 

 

You must read the book (it’s mandatory! well, not really but I wish it was) but in the mean time… do this, when it is appropriate… where it’s appropriate, just add the word ‘why’ — in other words, turn you affirmation into a QUESTION.

 

Here are a few examples just for your Network Marketing business. Remember, though to include a few “Why Affirmations” in all areas of your life!

 

Why am I sponsoring 1 new Consultant a week? Why do I have people reaching out and asking me about my products? Why have I reached the next title in my company? Why are my newbies getting off to a fast start? Why is my team experiencing duplication and growth?

 

You see, when we ask WHY… our minds ‘just naturally’ begin to search out and find solutions.

 

Pretty powerful, right?
