Your initial enthusiasm helps you build a bit of momentum and you got 10 people in your down-line.</p><p>Wow! Fantastic Job!!!</p><p>Way to go!!!</p><p>You're Awesome!!</p><p>Here's the problem...in a week or two, 9 of those people will quit. Maybe all of them will. If they don't quit, they may just decide they'd like to do something else and just not work your opportunity. </p><p>Of course, they will formally leave before the next month's fees become due.</p><p>That's Networking.</p><p>You sign folks up. You get all excited. Then...you earn zilch!</p><p>Now depending on the person you are, you'll either give up or; you will go out and give it another try. You'll try to build an organization and, just like before, 90% of everyone will give up on you and your business. </p><p>Networking is the most frustrating business you can be in.</p><p>And it's not just the people that don't work...it can be lousy products, inept management, terrible pay plans or; a combination of all of these.</p><p>Start ups are a problem also. Did you know that 85% of all start ups don't make it more than 3 years. Even if you were earning some money with them, you'd have start over every 36 months.</p><p>Another issue is Hot Products. CBD Oil for example is such a product. A few people initially earn some money from it then, every Network Company you can name starts offering CBD Products. When that happens, the Product quality suffers but; every company claims to have the best CBD because they've found a unique way to "make theirs".</p><p>One company touts their '3rd party testing' to verify the purity of the product. One problem, the owner of the Network Marketing Company also happens to be the owner of the Lab that does the testing.</p><p>Also, when such a product does catch the public's attention, we run into another issue; Walmart, Target, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreen's, Kroger, Meijer, and (it seems) every corner Gas Station starts selling CBD Oil.</p><p>You can't compete. I guess if you had Walmart's Ad Budget you could try to compete.</p><p>So, why do people bother to join if they just quit in a few days?</p><p>One reason seems to be that we all still have hope. We want a better life and we keep searching for it. The idea of living at the beach, working just 30 minutes a day and getting checks in the mail each week sounds great. </p><p>It can happen, but not with most fad products and not overnight. I'm going to apologize for the next sentence ahead of time but it's the truth. Here goes...</p><p>There is No Get Rich Quick Plan!</p><p>Sorry...</p><p>The people that have succeed with Networking had a one or two year plan to grow their business. They determined that no matter what, they would learn all about their new venture, they'd follow proven methods that have worked, they'd invest in advertising and in products, they'd attend all the weekly training sessions and; they would not have unrealistic expectations about overnight success.</p><p>One marketer once told me it took him 14 months before he had his first $1,000 month and it took him another 1.5 years on top of that before he had a $5,000 month. He stayed with it. He never gave up...even when he wanted to. </p><p>It's called commitment.</p><p>A genuine commitment to a goal will get you there. </p><p>Another great trait to have is patience. </p><p>The marketer I just mentioned...he earns over $60,000 monthly now! It took him 5 years of solid commitment and patience. </p><p>Would you be happy with $20,000 (or more) a month in 5 years if you knew all you had to do is work diligently on your business even though, at first, you weren't making anything? Would you put in 60 months of effort if you could see the rewards that could come to you? </p><p>Know this: If someone is earning big checks in your MLM...You can too!</p><p>We need to have long term dreams instead of a 'quick-fix' mentality.</p><p>Put in the work and over time you'll be rewarded. Jump from bizop to bizop and in 5 years, you'll still be jumping from bizop to bizop and; you'll still be years away from the life you really want.</p><p>Something to think about.</p><p>All the best,</p><p>Donald Gaw</p><p> </p><p><strong>P.S.</strong> - To see our business of choice go to: <a href="http://freesimplebusiness.com/">http://freesimplebusiness.com</a></p><p> </p></div>6 Ways To Pray For Other Christians.https://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/6-ways-to-pray-for-other-christians2017-08-28T16:16:24.000Z2017-08-28T16:16:24.000ZBill and Teddy Rogershttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/BillandTeddyRogers<div><div class="separator"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dyPnmPaO2f8/WaQuaobbBTI/AAAAAAAABnA/olHK_FKGGtwGdyGcpCeLoi3Ptj2zwTRuACLcBGAs/s1600/PrayingForOthers-300.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dyPnmPaO2f8/WaQuaobbBTI/AAAAAAAABnA/olHK_FKGGtwGdyGcpCeLoi3Ptj2zwTRuACLcBGAs/s320/PrayingForOthers-300.jpg?width=253" width="253" class="align-center" alt="PrayingForOthers-300.jpg?width=253" /></a></div><div class="western"><span> </span></div><div class="western"><span><span><b>1.

Passion is a very important part of being successful at anything. You have to be passionate about the tools, products or services you are marketing. You must use and believe that what you are marketing is valuable and provides a solution to a problem that your prospective customers have. </div><p></p><div>The passion for what you are marketing will lift your spirit, energize your heart, and mind to move further and faster in the higher levels of performances. Passion provides the fuel to keep moving forward in the midst of obstacles or uncertainty.</div><p></p><div>“Man is only great when he acts from passion.” Benjamin Disrael. “Nothing great in this world has ever been accomplished without passion.” George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. “It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.” T. D. Jakes. “When you catch a glimpse of your potential, that’s when passion is born.” Zig Ziglar.</div><div><a href="http://www.ibosocial.com/NJames/pressrelease.aspx?prid=358870" target="_blank">Read more...</a></div></div>Have Patiencehttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/have-patience2013-06-05T17:00:00.000Z2013-06-05T17:00:00.000ZAngela Valadezhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/AngelaValadez<div><h2><strong>To Have Patience is the will or ability to wait or endure without complaint.</strong></h2><p><a href="http://ibourl.com/1mc0" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3241" alt="Have Patience" src="http://www.empowernetwork.com/Avtheway/files/2013/06/have-patience.jpg" width="256" height="197" /></a></p><p></p><p> </p><p>Success of any kind can come to those who are willing to make an enthusiastic effort to serve and please others.</p><p>Don’t be fooled though, in order to do this, it will require that you <a href="http://ibourl.com/1p9u" target="_blank">have patience</a>. No business is built overnight and neither will yours.<br /></p><p><a href="http://goo.gl/xrSbX" target="_blank">(Video Here)</a></p><p>People who have practiced having strong spiritual values in their lives are usually the people who have more meaning in their lives, as well as more value in other area’s of life. Even so, when it comes to patience. There’s still a bit of a challenge.</p><p>Patience is often the most confusing of virtues. This is because most people don’t realize that patience is a learned experience! It just doesn’t seem to come naturally for most of us.</p><h3><strong>Three Areas Where Patience Brings Results:</strong></h3><p>1.<strong> Goal setting.</strong><a href="http://ibourl.com/1mc0" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3242" alt="Have Patience" src="http://www.empowernetwork.com/Avtheway/files/2013/06/goals-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p><p>Good personal planning involves no more than determining how you will get from your present circumstances to the future you have created through your dreams and vision.</p><p>Maybe you’ve heard the saying that anything good is worth waiting for. Well not so, there is something you must do. It’s up to you to make them happen. Focus on what you want, then sit down and write out your goals and give yourself a realistic time frame. Be specific.</p><p>Start by setting mini-goals within larger goals so you can get a better visual of your progress. You’ll feel motivated by your accomplishments when you see your plan developing.</p><p>“Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose — a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.”—Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley</p><p>2<strong>. Learn new skills.</strong></p><p>As we tend to grow older, it’s not as easy to learn new skills. It’s easy to become discouraged, and feel like giving up. It’s important to adapt to change and make the necessary changes in order to keep up with the times, whether it be skills or some other necessary personal appearance adaptation.</p><p>People who have been out of the work force for many years are completely out of the technology loop, and it can be challenging to get up to speed.</p><p>An example could be one such as this: Having a broken bone is the best lesson in patience. In this case patience is born out of necessity. You learn how to do everyday tasks in a different way in order to stay mobile.</p><p>Taking up a sport, such as karate or yoga or even dancing, may feel a bit awkward at first, but with continued practice, one day you will begin to feel like a pro. When babies take up walking, it’s a challenge at first, but because they refuse to give up and keep continuing to get up and take a step, shortly they are no longer walking but running.</p><p>3<strong>.Tolerance.</strong></p><p>Many times the act of patience can mean enduring or persevering in a difficult situation. We’ve all had issues with bad drivers or demanding bosses. Someone cutting in front of you in the grocery line. If you were told you would have to go back to dial-up Internet, I’m sure your blood pressure go up. Still, it’s possible to use these challenges as opportunities to grow our patience.</p><p>Impatience can make people lose their temper and say things they really don’t mean. By contrast, patience promotes peace.</p><p>“Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Ecclesiastes 6:8</p><p>In this age of instant gratification, it is increasingly difficult to accept what is out of our power. Learning patience is therefore, truly an art. But it is an art worth learning for your own health, happiness, and healing.</p><p>To <a href="http://ibourl.com/1p9u" target="_blank">have patience </a>sometimes requires you to pay a big price, but be assured you will receive a good return!</p><p><strong>If you enjoyed this article, “please “Like and Share.”</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>To Your Success,</strong></p><p><strong>Angela Valadez</strong></p></div>
