MLM Success Secret - Don't Be Discouraged By the Apparent Lack of Results

Everyone wants results. However, too many of us want results NOW. We go to McDonald's and if we have to wait more than 3 minutes we get upset. If we order a book online, we want it now. When we invest time into something, we want to see the results yesterday. Does this sound like you?

The problem with "wanting it now" can lead to "giving up too soon." This is especially true with network marketing. I have been working for weeks posting articles, writing blogs, advertising, etc., with little APPARENT results. Does this mean I should give up? Now way! I am not about to give up because I realize that some results are invisible and it takes time for their manifestation.

I believe that 9.5 out of 10 people are guilty of giving up too soon. They join a program and if results are not immediate, bam, they quite. They move on to the next opportunity and history repeats itself. Why? Because most of us do not realize that results are invisible before they manifest themselves. The Bible tells us that we will REAP what we SOW. This is a universal law and it is as certain as the law of gravity. When a farmer sows seed he or she doesn't go out the next day or even the next week to check for results; to see IF anything is happening. Why? Because they realize that results start out invisible. When the farmer sowed the seed into the ground he or she realized that results were happening right away...they just can't be seen. It may take weeks for the results of his or her sowing to become manifest. To a knowledgeable farmer "IF anything happens" is not in their mentality. There is no IF to them, but only WHEN.

What you SOW you will REAP. Do not give up too easily or too early. Know for certain that the results ARE there; they are only invisible right now, but, as the Bible says, in due season we WILL reap IF we do not faint.

If you are in a network marketing opportunity that you believe in and have a good mentor or coach to help you along the way; then hang in there. Do the necessary sowing and know that results are first invisible before they become manifest. If you are in an opportunity, but lack mentorship, please let me know. I will do what I can to assist you for free.

Another interesting fact about sowing is this: The reaping is greatly out of proportion to the sowing! If a farmer sows one grain for corn the reaping is vastly greater than the sowing. One grain produces one stalk and on that stalk are several ears that contain multiple kernals. This is true of just about every type of seed. Isn't this wonderful!

Here is a progression that you should menorize:

Sow > Time Passes > Invisible Results > More Time Passes > Visible Results > REAPING!

The results we are seeking takes time. So go to work sow, sow, sow, and I assure you as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you will reap IF you do not faint.
