Back in my college days, much of my reading consisted of books pertaining to government, freedom, and philosophy. One of the books I recall from those days was entitled 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley. The book was about a futuristic society that was sterile, loveless and had been chemically engineered to produce a seeming paradise for the masses. When trying to explain why things worked in this type of world, the protagonist 'Mustapha Mond' explains that the ideal society is built upon the iceberg, where 95% of the people are below the surface, unseen and unheard.

Whether or not an iceberg is a natural or desirable model for a society is debatable, but it's an established fact that most Network Marketing companies are modeled this way in results if not structure. Statistics indicate that only about 5% of the people involved in Network Marketing rise to a level of success that they're satisfied with. Why is this, and are there things you can do to help yourself become one of the 5% that reaches the tip of the earnings iceberg?

If you're just starting out or contemplating getting involved with a Network Marketing company, you might want to first start with a check-up from the neck up. First, are your goals realistic? Claims of overnight riches are just that! Just as it takes the larger icebergs years to reach their formidable size, so it is with successful Network Marketers. People who are successful in this business have been involved in it for many years. They didn't start off being 'successful' but have learned through many years of experience. They are the kind of people that go to seminars, listen to tapes, read books, allocate resources, and do many other things that help make them one of the 5% that become extremely successful. It's ok to dream big, but also understand that it takes time and effort to become a huge iceberg.

With that in mind, one of the best things that you could do to accelerate your growth in Network Marketing is to find yourself a 'mentor' or role model. It's been said that if you want to be successful at anything, find someone who is successful, and model yourself after them.

So what does all this talk of icebergs have to do with Network Marketing? Simply understand that when you start to recruit people into your business, you'll see the Iceberg Theory in action firsthand. No matter how great you think your business opportunity is, or how many times you talk or email them, the vast majority of people that you come into contact with will remain below the surface and out of sight. You just need to understand that you'll go through lots of people and prospects in the process of finding the tip of the iceberg. The good news is that there will always be individuals looking to see beyond the horizon, and those are the people that you want on your team. What you're looking for are the rare individuals like yourself who have the same desire, motivation, persistence, and other ingredients that will in time make them one of the 5% and help you to become one as well.
