Tough it out!

Happy Friday!! I received this info recently from a colleague and really wanted to share it!

~~There are currently over 3000 network marketing companies, give or take a few. Every one bills itself as the hottest new company and the best opportunity. If you are an active networker, you will be approached to join some of these other companies.

It will be very tempting for both you and your downline to jump over to the greener pastures. I can tell you that in most cases that would be a tragic mistake, because in another couple months another "best in the world" company will come along that looks even better. You will spend all your time getting started, which is the toughest phase of building a network...

If you are with a company that has been in business more than 2 years; is financially sound; has professional looking marketing and training materials; is shipping products and paying commissions consistently; and has a reputable management team; then you are with a solid company.~~

So my advice to all of you out there who may be struggling: tough it out!! Don't give up or just try to "hop" to another opportunity based on what you see from the outside looking in...work with your upline to analyze what you are doing and if it is or is not working for you.

Analyze your prospecting skills/presentations and their effectiveness. Don't immediately "jump ship" because many times the shortcomings lie within the network marketer NOT the network marketing company....and these shortcomings will follow that person in whatever company they choose to become a part of and only cause more confusion, wasted time/money and frustration...

So, enjoy your weekend, be prosperous, TOUGH IT OUT--continue the journey and enjoy the process!

Nothing moves fast in the land of the lost....

Are you disheartened by your team's lack of production? Has it been a slow month for you as a recruiter or distributor? There are inevitable 'slow' times in any business in the marketplace whether it be network marketing, small business, or even at the corporate level. Don't let this time be your downfall! Don't let a slower production month cause you to veer off course into a "business depression..." Stay calm and focused, and just have faith-- things will pick up! You do not want a slower time to determine the future of your entire business! Just continue onward, maintaining your daily activities-- it should be business as usual! Remember the law of averages -- There are 4 "aces" in every deck of cards, you just have to discover where in the deck they may be found!! You cannot make a "3" or a "7" into "Aces", it just is not possible! Another important reminder in slower times is to keep the positive mindset flo

You're Either Building Someone Else's Dream or Your Own

This quote from the wonderful Jeff Olsen holds so much truth. In our daily lives, many of us are working for another business owner, helping this person to make his company an even bigger success. While this is all fine and good, wouldn't you rather work to build your own business and achieve your dreams? A good employee may see a raise or occasional bonus...but that employee will never see the income of the business owner. One will NEVER make the income of a business owner as long as you are working for someone else. You will be working on their terms, their schedule and when all is said and done, they will pay you what they think you are worth (which is often lower than what we feel we are worth!) -- Now, becoming a real business owner takes time and hard work. No one said it would be easy and that residual income and time freedom would just magically fall in your lap - a legitimate and legal business opportunity just does not work that way. So, if one is uncomfortable w
