Desire is an important part of getting what you want in life and in business. In multi-level marketing, it’s even more important.

In “Think and Grow Rich,” Napoleon Hill talks about the importance of knowing what you want. This desire needs to be definite. You must seek out the specifics of the great desire that is within you. Search deep within your soul for those deep core desires.

No one can discover those desires for you. Only you know the path to reveal them.

Spend time alone. Ask yourself what you really want. If money wasn’t an issue, what would you do?

Once you have found those desires, decide that nothing is going to stop you from getting them. Desire plus determination — that is the key.

Hill says, “What a different story men would have to tell if only they would adopt a DEFINITE PURPOSE, and stand by that purpose until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession!”

It’s not enough to have the desire and a little determination. You must have so much determination that you’re willing to work at it until it becomes an obsession that consumes you.

Hill says many successful people have said that their “greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”

This shows the power of determination and desire. Your mind needs to be transformed into a state that sees the success that comes when determination and desire become obsession.

This is also known as finding your “why.” Think about why you first decided to start a home-based business. What were the reasons made it appealling to you? What was it that made you say, “I want to do this.”

Make a list of all those thoughts that ran through your head when you first decided to start your business. Don’t think about whether they make sense or not, just write them down.

When you’re finished, take a good look at the list. Boil them down to the three or four that are most important to you. Most likely, that’s your “why.” Those are your core desires for being in mlm.
