Owning your own homed-based business can be discouraging at times. You work hard and do all the right things, but you seem to keep banging your head against a brick wall. If you are feeling like that, I have a word of advice—NEVER give up!
Remember Thomas Edison? Mr. Edison had an idea that became an obsession. He wanted to develop an electric lamp. He had the firm belief that it could be done, but he wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. It didn’t seem to matter to him about not knowing how; he just knew that it could be done and went about experimenting. He tried over 10,000 times…beating his head against “the wall” for a breakthrough. Finally, during a little catnap, which Mr. Edison was often known to do, he had a dream that revealed to him the secret to making his dream come true. I will not get into the details here, but we all know the outcome—he invented the first incandescent light bulb! After over 10,000 seeming failures his dream became a reality. What was Mr. Edison’s secret? Was it is smarts? Was it his luck? I believe the secret was that he NEVER gave up. He KNEW that he would be successful and that it was just a matter of time. Because of his belief and persistence the very thing he strongly desired became his reality!
After that experience, success came much easier for Mr. Edison. It’s almost like he paid his “dues” and after such determination subsequent successes just flowed to him. I have been to his summer home in Ft. Myers, FL. I saw with my own eyes the success that came to a man who never gave up!
Never giving up is a critical MLM success secret. Very few will ever have this kind of determination, but it is essential to the person who desires massive success. Most of the earth’s population does not understand this principle. Success eludes them because, when the going gets tough, they just give up! How many successes have been missed by an hour! Maybe one more hour, day, or month would have taken them from the poor house to a multi-millionaire status! There are many stories of people giving up too soon and others picking up where they left off only to strike it rich! If the quitter would have just hung in there a little longer it could have been theirs! What a difference a day can make! Just think what would had happened if Thomas Edison gave up at “failure” number 999?
There seems to be a law that says you can never have what you are not willing to fight for. I don’t know what the name of this law should be, but I believe it exists. So, to all my fellow network marketers out there I say, take courage! Don’t ever give up on your dreams! When you don’t feel like spending an hour on your business, at least spend 5 minutes. Do something every single day. Pray, visualize, talk about and study your business. And as sure as the sun rises from the east and sets in the west; your dreams will come true if you only believe and never give up!
