Network marketing does take work and extreme patience.
Everyone should have a stream of income that is residual.

Is it worth it?
You bet.
People often ask what it takes to be successful in Network Marketing.
I have a short, simple answer…
All you got.
Fortunately it doesn’t take more than all you got. But it does take
all you got. In fact, I’ll suggest this business will be the hardest
one you’ll ever do, period.
And I’m qualified to make that statement. I’ve been president of the
Chamber of Commerce, worked in the corporate world, run distribution
companies, managed medical centers, launched HMO’s, started
restaurants & clubs, Internet marketing, information entrepreneur,
owned a hairstyling salon, and published a magazine. I’ve consulted
with literally hundreds of other entrepreneurs in all kinds of
businesses. And can assure you, Network Marketing is harder than all
of them!
Why?
Quite a few reasons. First, the essence of the business is leadership
development. Not an easy thing to learn. Or teach. This takes
tremendous people skills.
Because of that, MLM requires large amounts of personal growth and
self-development. And working on yourself is tough work!
Other businesses you can get by on just skill, just talent or just
money. Here you need heart. Guts. And love.
With Network Marketing, you have to go all in. You can start it part-
time, you can start it with a limited commitment, you can start it not
even believing it will work.
But to succeed at it, at some point you’ll have to move from
kindergarten to the big leagues. You’ll have to go from a night or
two a week, to four or five nights a week. You’ll have to commit and
you’ll have to develop belief.
Here’s why…
You can’t really get anyone into our business. It doesn’t work that
way. You can only commit, develop that belief and become so
passionate that people want to be a part of what you’re doing.
MLM is like golf. The only person you compete with is yourself. The
enemy isn’t other companies. It’s not negative prospects. And it’s
not government regulation, high prices, or backorders. The real enemy
is your doubts and fears. It’s what’s between your ears.
Most people today doubt their beliefs and believe their doubts. You
have to be different. And that means daily self-development. Keeping
your dream in front of you. And making sure your dream is bigger than
your fears.
Yeah, you can probably win a free cruise, get a bonus car and rake in
some nice bonus checks. That would probably motivate you to go to a
job every day. That would probably motivate you to do any one of
those other businesses I named. But it’s probably not enough to get
you to do Network Marketing.
Because our business is a lot tougher than those. Our business means
contacting prospects, driving to work with long distance lines, and
sacrificing lots of pleasures early on for the long term. It means
really getting out of your comfort zone and growing.
So your dream has to be even bigger. It has to include other people’s
dreams. Taking your eyes off of just yourself and looking how you can
contribute in a meaningful way.
It’s going to mean facing rejection and maybe ridicule. Facing your
fears. Dealing with dropouts and no shows. Negative publicity,
misperceptions, and adversity.
We know every adversity has in it the seeds of a greater opportunity.
But that opportunity is not automatic! It is there only if you make a
conscious choice not to be a victim; a conscious choice to learn the
lesson and find a new door to walk through. And remember, every room
has a door.
Network Marketing is HARD. So why do it?
Because it will be the most rewarding business you ever do in your
life. Yes it can give you those trips, car and bonus checks; it can
get you free. But it also does so much more…
The confidence you develop, the skills you learn, the satisfaction you
gain are priceless. Who you have to become to be successful in our
business makes it all worth it.
And the joy that can only come from contribution…
When your new team member calls you screaming with excitement because
they’ve sponsored their first person. The breakthroughs you witness
when someone buys their first suit, makes their first presentation, or
calls that prospect that scares them beyond measure. When one of your
people conquers their fear in any way, it will bring you rewards you
can’t get anywhere else.
In our business you reach success by helping other people reach
success. That is what gets you up at 6 am to do self-development,
that is what gets you to pick up the phone, that is what keeps you
awake driving home at 2 am from a meeting for a new person on your
tenth level.
So yeah, it doesn’t take more than you got. But it does take all you
got. Just know it’s worth it.
So find someone you respect and make them a promise that you will do
what it takes to win. Ask them to hold you accountable. Then make
yourself the same promise. After that, make a public declaration
below in the comments. Are you up for that?
Then tweet this post, “like” it on Facebook, blog it, or email a link
to everyone on your team. Bookmark this and come back to it whenever
the seed of doubt creeps in.
Start EVERY day with positive self-development. Don’t answer your
phone, answer the door, or leave the house until your consciousness is
vibrating at thermonuclear level. Look in the mirror and tell
yourself you are worthy.
Then go out and be amazing!
