Your Guide to Success in Network Marketing
The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes."
-- Benjamin Disraeli, statesman
Well, time went by.
Three years in fact.The drudgery went on.
Stress at work,stress at home,screaming at the kids for no rhyme or reason.Sounds familiar does it?I can tell you it takes a heavy toll on your health, both physical and mental.
There has got to be something better!
Something that gets the old spark back.
Something that sets you on fire,brings back the passion into your life.
I couldn't put my finger on it.Not right away,anyway.
Has this ever happened to you?Where you suddenly feel lost.No purpose,no direction like a rudderless boat in the sea?That's how I felt.
Like I said,DEBTS, DEBTS, and more DEBTS.
Here was this guy,probably half my age, telling me I could be financially FREE if I followed his advice and worked at it for a couple of years.And the investment? A mere pittance.Man,I'd been working all my life and all I had achieved was bigger debts.FINANCIALLY FREE in 2 to 3 years?Ha! I thought he was nuts.
Anyway, I played along and said that I am interested.He gave me some very interesting books to read and tapes to listen to.I read the books, I heard the tapes.Very good stuff.Highly motivational,infomative stuff.
3 months went by.I had read enough books and heard enough tapes to last me a life time.
My attitude became more positive.My practice flourished.My finances improved.I had a bounce in my stride.
And then he asked me if he could be my sponsor in the network marketing business.Did I join?
HELL,NO!
It all began about 3 years ago.I have a fairly successful family practice of eighteen years standing. I used to think that having my own practice with a regular 'clientele' was a very good thing indeed!Life was good.I have a loving wife and two great kids, a girl (now in college) and a boy who is still in school.We are, by present standards in my country,an upper middle class family (whatever that means!) with a double income.Oh,did I forget to tell you that my wife teaches in a very good boarding school?
So,you get the picture? A small family,the couple doing well in their respective fields,two well brought up kids,the family car,gizmos,vacations,even a family dog.Sounds good so far.
Except for one thing.DEBT!Loads of it.Tons of it.I don't know about you,but I definitely feel we are living in this make believe world where one has this false sense of security.You know where you have that feeling that NOTHING can go wrong with us.We imagine we will work for maybe 30-40 years and then enjoy the fruits of our labor.Have a beautiful home,relax in the sun,go on a world tour ,whatever.And then you realise that unless YOU do something about it,IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!
That's what happened to me.I read somewhere that if you do the same things every day you can't expect different results.I guess it's true.
Here I am.Upto my neck in the stuff.You know, DEBT.Credit cards,personal loans,property loans,you name it ,I have it.And one thing is for sure.There are a lot of people like me out there.
They just find it hard to admit that they are neck deep in it.
That is when one medical salesman walked into my chamber and introduced me to the concept of network marketing.
Your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing."
-- Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. president
