What Sets THEM Apart From The Rest Of Network Marketers?

I have been talking to a lot of the "big hitters" in my company. I am on my way to the top, but I am not there yet. I like to listen to the stories of others who have "been in my shoes".

You see in 99% of the stories that I hear, everyone starts with little or no money. Very few have started off as a millionaire (I know that there are some who have). Every single one of them had massive financial problems and needed the business to work. Sounds familiar?

So what sets them apart from the rest of the network marketers, you know the 97% who fail miserably?

I have decided that there is only one thing that sets them apart from the rest- the perseverance and determination to keep going. That's it. Plain and simple.

We live in a world of instant gratification. Everybody is so used to getting things done "right now". Well it just doesn't happen that way in network marketing. You have to work at it- that's part of the reason why it's called network marketing. If it was so easy and simple, if it didn't need work and perseverance, then everyone would be doing it and everyone would be millionaires.

It's crazy insane the number of people that look at the industry as a cruel joke, a hoax, a scam. They have tried it or know of someone who tried it and they failed. They never really give it a chance. How about the ones that join and say "I X amount of money, and when its gone or if I haven't done ____ by this date, I am out"- hear or thought that one before? Guess what, that's not giving it a chance either. you are anticipating it to fail. Remember, what you think, becomes reality. So if you are overly cautious and don't go for it, you won't get it. Plain and simple.

I saw and talked to a number of people that threw caution to the wind and went for it. They gave it their all. They didn't let all the no's beat them down, and they didn't let the naysayers keep them from reaching for their dreams.

You see, network marketing is a wonderful business model. It makes sense and when you find the right company (for you of course), its a life changing event. If network marketing was not a great thing, why would Trump say that if he had to start all over with nothing, he would rebuild his wealth in a network marketing business?

So get in there, get your feet wet and reach for your dreams!
