"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." ~ Helen Keller
WELCOME TO THE DARING ADVENTURE of INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE
Most people don't build a Network Marketing empire and enjoy a fabulous life from that point on. But they could.
The business we're working here is about the "could". Just the could. All promises and guarantees are within you.
What about the process appeals to you? Maybe it's the allure to earn a king's ransom? Perhaps the freedom to work from home? The flexibility of setting your own schedule? The freedom to choose where you live/work ... just open the computer and you're "at work"? Could be the spiritual, leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills you get to learn and use?
Have a very good why, otherwise it gets too dark and scary here sometimes. Capiche?
Most important: You must train yourself to believe that it will work for you and for those to whom you offer it. This takes time, but it is the most important thing you'll "figure out" here.
Belief doesn't come from success. Your success will only come from your belief.
Beginning Internet Marketers give up long before they could have succeeded. That's a sad fact. There are rare individual marketers who have enjoyed fortunes of $1 million or more per year for years.
Some elite marketers, after 5 to 10 years, earn $25,000 to $100,000 a month. MANY marketers earn from $1000 to $10,000 a month. The masses of marketers earn $100 to a few hundred.
What do all the above have in common? NONE of them quit.
The fact is that people with average ambition, commitment, and effort don't do well in a business like ours. Is that the fault of the individual or the system? For those of you who know me at all, that know how much value I place on mindset and self-motivation may be surprised at my answer. It's the fault of both the individual and the system, I think. Internet or Network Marketing is not easy, especially if you don't have a good mentor / trainer.
We have a long way to go in educating people to our business and treating newcomers with respect and honor so that they demand our profession instead of feeling like sleazy car salesmen, or (shudder) law-yers! This is one of my core missions.
Did you realize that we marketers are major players in the world economy and that we're still growing? We've grown 17 out of the last 20 years, 90% of that coming in the last 10 years. A staggering $178.5 billion worth of this industry's goods and services are sold worldwide. Each week approximately 475,000 people worldwide become affiliates for an internet marketing company. That's $175,000 each week in the US alone! There are 16.8 million Americans and 96.2 million people worldwide who participate at some level in this concept. ALL THOSE PEOPLE AIN'T "WRONG", "DELUSIONAL", nor "DUPES"!
IT WORKS!
