Suppose you wanted to be an airline pilot. Or a plumber. Or a doctor. Perhaps your dream is to run a marathon with an acceptable time. Or anything else that you could dream of. Would you expect to be able to accomplish any of those things with just a few half-hearted efforts? Would you expect that the Olympic medalist on the stand was able to get there without any bumps or bruises? Would you expect them to fail or to fall a time or two? Or maybe even a bunch of times?
As Jordan says, "There is going to be a level of pain that comes with those dreams." You just know that there is going to be some discomfort to get to where you want to be.
But how do we approach our network marketing business? Do we expect to gain a level of success with half-hearted efforts and quit after a few rejections? Sometimes we see the successful people on stage and we don't realize the hurdles and challenges that they had to overcome to get to their spot on the stage. We think that we are failures because we haven't reached that level yet, but we fail to recognize we all will have tremendous challenges, but the successful ones will continue on until they overcome.
The lesson?: If you have a dream to be successful in network marketing, know that you are going to have some growing and developing to do. Identify the skills that you lack and begin developing those skills. Work as hard at your networking marketing business as you would if you were pursuing a graduate degree from a university. Take the falls and failures in stride and continue on.
If the dream is worthwhile, the hurdles will be stepping stones. IF you keep working and growing and refuse to quit.
