Today I want to write about one of my biggest demons. I'm sure I am just like many others out there. We come into this profession, network marketing, with high hope, dreams and real faith. The next thing that happens to most of us is the big NOTHING. Nothing works. Nobody wants to join. Nobody wants to talk to us anymore. We wind up in the NFL. We will never get a Superbowl ring in this NFL.
What do we do next?
We start looking. We want to find out how this whole deal works. We have been bitten by the MLM bug. We crave that residual income. We want it so bad for our families that we will never quit. Well some of us will never quit. Some do. They quit and give up on their freedom. They give up on their family's freedom. Who can blame them. But the others won't quit. We find so much out there that it first results in total confusion. Then, what does the confused mind do? Anyone? Come on you know the answer.
EXACTLY. The answer is NOTHING! A confused mind will do absolutely nothing.
Then what happens is a few of the things we saw fade out and we aren't so confused anymore. Now we get busy trying them all. We try this system to recruit 20-25 people a month. Wait that's not enough. If it works why can't we do 20-25 a week. I saw another system that I can do that with. Wow this is going to be great. I can just see all that money pouring into my bank account. Can't you? But wait this brand new deal is now in pre launch and you don't have to do diddly squat. "Man oh Man this one is perfect.".................etc.etc.etc.
When its all said and done, the only direction money has flowed in regards to our bank account is? You know the answer.
That's when a few more of us quit. Again who could blame them. This sucks. I thought mlm was supposed to be fun. That's what my sponsor told me. At least, the last time I spoke to him. When was that? Oh never mind. It doesn't matter. Who needs him anyway.
Then along comes a sign. It truly is like a sign from above. And believe it or not it doesn't even cost me any money. "Whew" Good thing. I'm just about out anyway. But guess what. It is not going to cost me any money but, yes the dreadful but, it will cost me time. Time I definitely have. It is refreshing to finally find people willing and able to hold my hand and believe in me even after I've just about quit believing in myself. Any yes my family has quit believing in me a long time ago. But these people do believe in me. I hope they realize what they've gotten themselves into.
First lesson is "Quit looking at all that 'STUFF' out there". You now have a system. People fail, successful systems DON'T. But the MOST IMPORTANT thing is you must stop chasing your tail. Follow the system. Follow the system. Follow the system. Questions? Follow the system.
I have yet to not get a call back. Even when I left no message. That never happened before. "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask." How refreshing is that?
You ask "What is the POINT here?" Follow One Course Until Successful. Don't chase your tail. Don't jump on the NEXT BIG THING. It will simply be the NEXT BIG FLOP. Save yourself years of failure and frustration. Download and READ the free ebook that has saved my future.

That was so inspiring I felt the Same way when I finely found a System that was duplicatable and did not cost me an arm and Leg. And I always had help when I needed it. It is the only thing that kept me going till It just started working. This thing works and I am so happy it does

I believe everyone needs to get on the Silver bandwagon. Federal Reserve Notes are worthless, so why not convert them in to Silver!
