It's Okay To Make Mistakes... That Means You Are Willing to Take Risks.

Did you know that it is okay to make mistakes in Network Marketing? Well it is, and in all honestly I think that it is essential. If you are not willing to make mistakes, then you are not willing to take risks and to think "outside the box".

Come on, if it really was so easy to just buy leads and follow a few scripts, then why do so many fail?

Think about it- if everyone is doing the same thing, and it has only a 3-5% success rate, then how successful is "the system"? In my opinion, that system sucks. So many sponsors will tell you to do it, because its an easy line to remember- by leads from _______ and use theses scripts....

Now in their mind you are now trained and equipped with the right tools to use. Now they can move onto the next person.

When you are willing to take risks and try other ways of team building then you are positioning yourself to make mistakes, but you are also positioning yourself to have massive success.

Now I have been blogging and building an email list for over a month. I have been working on some free advertising and it has had a slow build but, now I am having hundreds of people looking at my marketing/ recruiting website a week.

I was lucky to have 17 or more people look at my site in a week. Now I average more than that in a single day. This stuff is phenomonal. I love it! I have been learning how to do this, by getting free information (my budget is tight). Its a process, weeding through the hype and gleaning what little useful information is in the various free reports and websites out there.

I have been working with my husbands friend on this project. We have been testing our sites against each other. We are learning together and we are helping each other. And we have been putting together a comprehensive program that we can share with you. It is a simple 5 step system. Once we know how we are going to package this, we will make the big announcement.

Its okay to make mistakes- everyone does from time to time. It happens. These experiences can be used to strengthen us and to grow us. So go for it, jump in and get your feet wet. Don't let the fear of making a mistake hold you back.

Wayne Gresky once said that "You miss 100% of the shots you never make". So what is holding you back?
