So What's The Big "Secret" to Success In Network Marekting?

Okay, so I am sure that many of you have seen or heard something about the book and movie called "the Secret". It was featured on Oprah and is touted by many mentors in the MLM and Network Marketing Industry.

I am not saying that you do not need to see them. You may find them very aspiring. To me it was a mix of stuff that I had learned on my own growing up, science (the law of attraction), and church. It wasn't anything "new" for me, it didn't rock my world, but it is an important phenomenon, and is worth talking about.

"The Secret" is all about the "law of attraction"- it basically says that you are what you think (yes I oversimplified the explanation). You see many people walk away with, if I think it, it will happen. If I write it down on paper and look at it every day it will happen. Well it doesn't work that way. We don't have genies in the bottle waiting to grant our every wish and desire at the nod of a head.

We need to do more than wish for our dreams to happen. We need to be willing to learn and change in order to reach our dreams. Keeping our eyes on the prize will help us to get there, but the prize won't magically drop into your lap. You'll need to step out and reach for it. That's the Big "Secret" behind the secret.

This works in all areas of life and business. Remember when you are full of negative thoughts and emotion, you will only draw negativity towards you, but, when you are filled of positive thoughts and emotions you are a beacon towards positive things.

I am a positive person, and try to keep negativity from hindering my success in Network Marketing. I have seen others' teams explode overnight and others have no growth at all. I have been somewhere in the middle- happily trucking along, knowing that my time will come. I have been working on my consistency and learning new skills in order to have an "edge". It started slow, but in the last 12 hours I have watched my email list grow by more than 400%. It is awesome to see it all happen.

It is also a humbling experience. I am far from reaching my goals, but well on my way and I have to thank everyone that has followed my blogs and emails. Thank you, because with out your support, I would not be here right now.
