Giving Up on Network Marketing

By 5dmin

There were many times in my early career when I felt like giving up on network marketing completely! As some of you know, I struggled for about 5 years until I got to a full time income. Now, as I’ve been traveling around the world and have grown to lead organizations of over 1,000,000 people, people will say “You’re so good,” and edify me a lot.

It’s great to get the edification and all. But in reality, the truth is that I’m just a few years ahead of you guys. If you do anything for 22 years of your life eventually you’re gonna get good at it.

The great thing about the network marketing profession is that whatever company you’re involved in you typically have an upline and a training system to plug in to. You can even have a foster mentor and mentors from afar, like myself, learning by watching videos like this.

Just realize this, you have to get good eventually. If you feel like giving up on network marketing because your skill set is not where it needs to be, be patient with yourself. Be patient with your results… But be impatient with your activity!

The key to this business is consistent effort over time.

If you keep taking that consistent effort over time, you’re going to get good. I was really bad for a while, before I got good. Again, if you do anything long enough you’re going to get good at it, so have that faith in yourself.
