They Called It Luck
He worked by day
and toiled by night.
He gave up play
and much delight.
Dry books he read,
new things to learn.
And forged ahead,
success to earn.
He plodded on,
With faith and pluck.
And....when he won,
they called it Luck.

What we are typically exposed to are the stories of the very successful. We see stories of the star performers and industry legends like Eric Worre, Bob Crisp, Dexter Yeager, Nathan Ricks, Brian McMullen, Ed Bestoso, Brian Carruthers, Jeff Roberti, Jordon Adler, Ray Higdon, Richard Brooke Bliss, Matt Morris, Susan Sly, Robert Hollis and scores of others and thier successes scream so loudly that one would think that they were all either exceptionally gifted or massively lucky.
In order to achieve the high levels of success that earned them all a great deal of money and public recognition they first read the books, made the calls, attended the meetings, experienced the rejection, believed, plodded on, experienced more rejection, made more calls, made more presentations, and experienced more failures.
Truth is.....in order to achieve any level of success in network marketing you are going to have to be 'willing' to go through the difficult to get to the successes. You will fail and you will have to be willing to fail again. You will be less than perfect....in the beginning.
Don't fall for the "it's easy" dialog that so many want to throw around in the effort to recruit people who are looking for easy. The business is 'simple' but it is not easy. It's work and you have to show up....even when you don't feel like it. But, it's worth it! Stick with it. Fail, fail again. Cherish the small wins in the beginning. Win again.
Like anything worth doing in life, you will get better. You have to crawl before you walk and walk before you run. Are you with me? Let's do this!
