Self-discipline is a must to be successful in network marketing. Lack to self-discipline is one of the main reasons that many network marketers fail in their business pursuits.
Discipline is just delayed gratification for something better. In network marketing it is better to postpone short term gratification for the long term benefit. It is much easier to watch TV than to work on writing an article or creating ads to post online or in local papers. It is much easier to play video games than to surf traffic exchanges to build up points for your own advertising. It is much easier to go to bed early than to stay up late on team calls. But guess what; if you don’t pay the price now, you will be right where you are 10 years from now…nowhere!
I have a dream and I am willing to pay the price through self-discipline to make it my reality. It is Saturday night and most of the City of Columbus is watching TV or partaking of some other form of entertainment. And to top it off, I have been sitting at my P.C. all day writing, promoting, responding to emails, and on team calls. This is self-discipline and though you might not have to go to this extreme, you will have to sacrifice some of your time now to have much more free time in the future.
Everyone I know wants financial freedom and the time to do what they love to do. However, few are willing to discipline themselves enough to do what it takes today to get to where they want to be 1, 2, or 5 years from now. The uninitiated surf the net, looking for a get-rich-quick “opportunity” that will make them rich overnight. They fall for all the hype and empty promises. They are drawn in by the pictures of fancy homes and cars thinking that that could be theirs by doing what some of these “guru’s” do. They fall for the claims that money will just flow into your bank account by using some “automated system.” The guru’s tell people that they don’t have to talk to anyone or sell anything. This is pure foolishness! It takes self-discipline to be successful! It takes work! It takes connecting with people! It takes being willing to spend time with a Mentor. It takes being on team calls! There are NO short cuts to success, period!
If you don’t have self-discipline, forget network marketing. Forget home-based businesses, forget your dreams. You better keep your job and let others determine your life, income, time, position and future. To the undisciplined, self employment and freedom are not for you! This is hard to swallow, but it is true! Network marketing is for the self-disciplined. It is for those who are willing to pay the price in time and effort now for financial freedom and lots of free time in the future.
This MLM success secret is priceless. Are you willing to succeed? Are you willing to give up some TV and entertainment time for your future? If not, take a good look around you, because the scenery isn’t going to change for you anytime soon!
