Here I am sitting at my computer at almost 1 o'clock in the morning working on a giant "to do" list (that I've only got 48 hour to complete) and I can’t help but to keep thinking to myself…
"What If..."
What if I hadn't quit that network marketing company I joined back in 2002, and another the other one I joined in 2004 (you get the picture)
After all I did make money in both of these companies. But the reality is that when things started getting little rough and some of my downline started to leave, I said to myself "oh well - I'll just jump to the next one"
Here we are in 2007 and both of those companies that I quit several years ago are still around and there are several 6 -7 figure earners in both companies. I can't help but think that it could have been me.
Don't get me wrong, I do quite well for myself. But had I just hung on little bit longer who knows how much more success I would have been. The funny thing about success is that quite often it will be attained if you just take the next step. Often you will have to take several "next steps", and more often than not you have no way of knowing which "next step" will be the one where you cross over the invisible barrier to success.
The unfortunate reality is that not to many of us actually have the tenacity to keep getting back up no matter how many times we fall down. It's so easy in the network marketing industry to just move to the next bright light. Only to find out that the grass is not greener on the other side. Virtually any path to achieving a goal WILL be paved with obstacles. The bigger the goal, the more obstacles there will be.
How many obstacles will YOU overcome to reach your goal? Here's a little clue for you: When it seems the hardest, and it makes ALL sense logically to quit and move on to the next program -THAT'S when you need to hunker down and keep moving forward!
It's usually right after the most difficult time that success will reveal itself to you - but you must be steadfast in your efforts. Consistency, (not only the MLM game but in the game of life as well) is one of the key traits that ultra-successful people have!
Commit for at least 90 days to your mlm company and NO MATTER WHAT, take a step forward everyday.
