When Does Success Come?
Sallie Roberts April 16th, 2008
If you have ever started your own business, whether is a network marketing, MLM or traditional store front business, you can remember the months, weeks, or days before you signed up or opened your doors when you were so excited. You had your dreams of wealth, personal freedom, satisfaction and pride. You could hardly sleep at night, thinking about what you needed to do to get the ball through the hoop.
Then a few weeks later reality stuck. Now the pressure hits. What is it going to take to make this business go? You find that it takes concerted effort, dedicated time, and tremendous commitment to see the job through. Some of the side effects of having your own business, is that the buck starts and stops with you, so when things don’t go as fast as you hoped, you start questioning whether this was a good idea or not. You worry about “failing” and what you friends and family will say. Especially if this is not your rodeo. The more worried and scared you get, the more excuses you come up with until………you quit! You vow never to do it again, you tell yourself network marketing doesn’t work or your location was wrong, etc. etc. ,but you know in your heart that your dreams will never come true if you work for someone else, getting paid what “they” think you are worth. You dislike everything about a job, from been under someone elses’ control,
to being mad at yourself for settling for less that you deserve.
Success will come when you decide that you will not let anything stop you from your dreams. You will go into your business with the knowledge that it will take a year or two to really start seeing the results of your dedication. A traditional business takes an average of 2 years before you see a profit. Network Marketing, MLM, can be done much sooner because there is little overhead.
The benefit of a network marketing business is that you can built that business while you stay employed at a job until the home business income exceeds your job. Then you can decide whether you want to stay in that job of become a full time home business owner.
IF YOU PAY THE PRICE. ….SUCCESS WILL COME. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE, MOST ESPECIALLY FREEDOM.
