More Grit Than Glory in Network Marketing.

In this particular blog entry I want to take a look and focus on the network marketing industry as a whole and help put things in perspective for you, especially if you are failing.

You may be failing in business, in family, and in your life overall. But let me tell you from experience. Its more about grit than glory.

I would like you to take a look at the 2002 NFC wild card matchup between the 49ers and the Giants and tell me what this is about for you, which of course is much more appreciated as a football fan, which I believe can be very effectively translated to the network marketing industry.

Giants vs. 49ers

Notice how people’s careers are on the line. Some getting a second chance and some not..

How there was the issue of composure and a very unfair advantage given to the 49ers in a very bad call beyond their
control in the waning seconds of this particular game. And there is even a guy that went down as a loser in the most dignified way compared to everyone else who was blaming everyone but themselves, including the coach of that loser of the game.

To me this very much defines my network marketing career. Many mlm programs have been started, never to finish. Never ready to give up and and hoping for a direct turn of fortunes in this crazy time we live in.

So what does it take to be successful in this time of unforseen and changing occurances in business and industries all around the globe?

It will take a lot of adjustment and a willingness to sacrifice for your team, I believe. Some will hate you and not appreciate you. Some will celebrate you and be friends with you for life.

Either way we all have a game to play. That primary game is the cash flow game. But don’t let that get in the way of how we handle situations when things get tough. Keep our composure and ALWAYS think of what good will come out of this before it is too late and we destroy potential longer term relationships in the industry.

If we continue to fail over again we really have no one to blame but ourselves.

There is a lot of good training out there on the internet, but without guidance from a mentor, I’ll admit myself, that it is very tough.

When the talk about the 2 or 3 percent of the industry that fails consistently, that is very true and real.

But I do believe it takes more Heart than talent and more Grit than Glory.
