Successful internet market entrepreneurs do not become so by chance. They demonstrate mindsets, attributes and qualities that are too numerous to mention all. However, they all demonstrate three common behaviours which ensure their continual success and these are discussed below.
Being cool under pressure
There are two ways to behave when things are not going well in your internet marketing business. One way is to give up and tell yourself you were right all along and it was too good to be true and disappear back to the corporate world and all its frustrations. The successful internet marketer does not think like that.
Instead, she is concerned about learning the lessons from her setbacks. She is determined to know why the strategy she employed did not pay off with a view of putting remedial action in place to change around her fortunes for the better. The successful internet marketer is dedicated to using management information to drive her business. For example, by knowing that her marketing expenditure in article marketing is not providing her anticipated number of leads, she may decide to allocate the article marketing budget to something that is delivering results like video marketing for example.
This coolness under pressure comes from good planning, organisation and management of the business. By understanding how her business works and how it is performing, she is able to take action to influence results in her favour.
Never resting on their laurels
The successful internet market entrepreneur celebrates his successes hard but not for too long. He is always thinking ahead as to how to replicate or better his current success. He learns from his successes as much as he learns from his failures. From every success, he looks at what he could have done better to have performed even better.
They always love a challenge and would see the challenge of performing better exciting. They are so competitive that they compete with themselves. They look at success the same way they look at failure. They build on their strengths and look to eliminate their weaknesses.
Pushing the Boat Out
Traditionally, we’ve been conditioned to believe that in business, we need to start small and grow the business gradually. Not the internet marketing entrepreneur. They go for the jugular once they see an opportunity. If for example, there are three entry levels into a business opportunity, they will go for the highest level entry, which although may cost the most will yield the highest in commission payments. They do not believe they should enter at the least level and see whether the business opportunity is for them or not.
The reason they go in big is because they have self belief. They believe an opportunity is as profitable or as good as the entrepreneur. They are conditioned for success and will therefore do all it takes. They are convinced that as long as the opportunity works for one person, it can work for them.
These three behaviour patterns are consistent to successful internet market entrepreneurs. Failure is not an option in their eyes as they have belief in their ability and will do whatever it takes to succeed. It is no coincidence that successful entrepreneurs are consistently successful in different ventures they undertake. It’s all to do with the mindset.

3 TOP QUALITIES OF THE TOP 3% OF INTERNET MARKETING LEADERS
People enter the Internet marketing industry for various reasons. Some want to supplement their income, while some want to replicate their 9-5 income. Others are tired of trading time for dollars and need to spend more time doing the things they love. Some are after the flashy cars, exotic holidays and the dream mansion. What do the top 3% of internet marketers have in common?
It’s called leadership. In the industry, it is believed only 3% of the population achieve exceptional success. These 3% demonstrate qualities associated with good leadership, which leads to consistently excellent results. Their motivation or inspiration has little to do with the money they make, the cars they drive, the places they visit or the houses they live in. These are all by products of their success.
What really drives the top earners in the online marketing business is providing leadership to their downline. By helping others succeed, they are accomplishing two things at once. Firstly, they are increasing their own residual income. Secondly, and more importantly, they are self-actualising. The top earners look beyond making money. Their goal is focused on fulfilling their potential to the fullest. Self actualising is about helping others and giving back to society and that is what the top leaders do.
While less successful or unsuccessful entrepreneurs focus on how much money they can or are making, the top 3% of leaders look at how many people they have helped become a success. That is what truly excites and inspires them. The rest takes care of itself.
The top earners demonstrate three top qualities – passion, love and integrity to their downline. They display a passion for the business of their promising team members to the point where they are willing to spend their valuable time helping them grow their business. They enjoy reliving the journey from budding entrepreneur to a successful one, therefore, it is little wonder they demonstrate so much passion.
The love they demonstrate to their team members need to be experienced to be believed. The really successful internet marketers are generally more accessible than the wannabees. The only caveat is your business must show promise through your efforts for them to gift you their valuable time on a more consistent basis. They look after the interests of their members or downline as if they were family members. These leaders look beyond the business relationship with their downline, act as mentors and can be depended upon to offer other forms of support.
In terms of integrity, the top 3% of leaders demonstrate it to the highest degree. The success of any leader is dependent on the trust and respect they enjoy from those who they lead. Trust and respect needs to be earned and on a consistent basis. A top earner’s word is her bond. If she says she is going to do something, she pulls out all the stops to make it happen.
The top leaders in the internet marketing industry have these three qualities of passion, love and integrity fully developed and ingrained in their psyche. Their main inspiration and motivation is to help others succeed and the rest takes care of itself. It is little wonder only 3% of internet marketing entrepreneurs enjoy exceptional results. This is because they demonstrate qualities of unselfishness which does not come naturally to a lot of people.

IS A LEADER BORN OR MADE
I have been thinking about this for a long time. Is a good leader born or made? Some people say leaders are born. That may be true in the case of a monarchy for example. I am absolutely convinced that anyone can become a good leader, as long as they have a mindset to become one. What is that mindset?
A good leader is one who is committed to serving rather than being served. This means the leader must focus on meeting the needs of the people being led. In network marketing, this involves providing a significant proportion of your time, coaching, mentoring and supporting members of your team. This is the surest way to grow your business and reduce attrition.
Too often, people think of great leaders as people who have vision and go on to achieve it to a certain extent, like Adolf Hitler. I do not consider this great leadership as it is unsustainable. People eventually feel manipulated and this could affect morale and sometimes even lead to rebellion. Therefore, a good leader is also one who identifies the needs of the people he or she leads and tailors his vision to meet these needs. In network marketing, for example, a leader could set a vision of creating a certain number of millionaires from among his team within a certain period.
A good leader must be adaptable to situations and recognise that a one-size-fits all approach is not the right approach. The leader must adapt his leadership to fit the occasion, the individual or the circumstances. She must demonstrate a high level of integrity – this is very important as people are likely to follow those whom they respect and trust.
We all demonstrate traits of both good and bad leadership. We can choose to deliver more consistent good leadership through personal development and self evaluation. Most importantly, by listening to and meeting the needs of our team members, success is almost guaranteed.
