The 7 Most Profitable Network Marketing Addictions
Hey, I hope you had a great weekend and a pleasant morning. You might want to grab a soothing cuppa coffee because today’s post is a little shaky… You see, it’s all about addictions. But don’t worry, it’s mostly about the good ones… and yes… there is such a thing.
Obviously, you can take even a good thing way too far. Still, it seems like our top earning industry leaders have more “addictions” in common than the average bear.
And that brings me to today’s topic which… strangely enough, was inspired by books.
You see, I was looking through my books yesterday and it was like a walk through time. You could tell exactly where I’d been and what I’d thought about years ago. You could also tell which ones get the most use because they’re dog eared, ripped, underlined and stuffed with sticky notes. 
But mostly I was amazed by the size of collection and how far that information had taken me. It’s an addiction that almost every successful networker has. And endless desire to learn more and grow more.
And it got me thinking about the other “addictions” successful people share. You might disagree, and you’re welcome to, but here’s what I came up with.
The 7 Most Profitable Network Marketing Addictions
Info Addiction. Let’s start with this one. Because I believe this is the most beneficial addiction you can have. “Knowledge is power” and can really set you miles ahead of the crowd. You might be familiar with the old saying: “leaders are readers” and I couldn’t agree more.
Task Addiction. Like a laser beam, a successful networker develops ability to ignore all obstacles unless they get directly in the way. Other people scream about the “emergency” of the day and get nothing done at all. At the same time, it can interfere with family and relationships.
Passion Addiction. Driving every action is a passion. And believe me, leaders are the most passionate people of all. It’s contagious, a man or a woman with a vision can pull hundreds of people into their dream. It’s the rocket fuel that makes success possible.
Time Addiction. Most successful men and women are stingy with their time. They have to be. There’s only 24 hours in a day and they get more done than anybody else. They delegate, keep schedules and often wake up at the same time every day… even on weekends.
Work Addiction. Successful networkers could be the laziest peeps on earth but they’re not against working all day every day of the week until they get the job done. They work in intense spurts and aren’t afraid to take a week off once they’ve reached a goal.
Power Addiction. Leaders make their your own rules and live by them. They’re addicted to freedom and personal power. They have a hard time working in the corporate cubical because it doesn’t fit their view of the world. So they strive to build their own lives and success follows behind.
Love Addiction. Laugh if you will, but I’ve noticed that some of the greatest leaders in network marketing and history are also addicted to love. They’re addicted to helping people without selfish thought. They love to see other people succeed and tend to give generously to causes close to their hearts.
And I think that’s the best addiction you can have.
Don’t you think?

dI find realy interesting how you can give a funny twist to things that other wise seem like orders or things “that have to be done”, instead of things “you choose or want to do”. It makes a great difference in day to day life. Thanks for the perspective.

Thank you Jason for this thoughtful article.
Your observations and insight continue to inspire.
I believe all true leaders possess an addictive personality. I personally have struggled with a life time of addictive behaviors and have found focus to be my answer.
As I continue up my new path of personal growth and financial freedom my focus is unwavering and my ardent desire to achieve greatness propels me like a fighter jet blasting through the sky.
I always look forward to your insight and guidance. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
