I just wonder in the excitement of starting something new how many people remember to "give it time" and that is part of the problem. They then start jumping from one company to another just like bargain hunting. Therefore they end up not creating anything of value. Then you hear comments of this was just a "get rich scheme" or it only works for the few. When all they really need to do is fall in love with the process and the product and give it time. I think in the new ray of hope that is being talked about this will be a respectable profession… and just like any profession it will take some time to learn it or like the trades you learn your craft by working with a master trades person. Humm maybe I'm on to something? What an idea!

Absolutely! – People generally look to network marketing as a ray of hope from the trap of the 9-5. They are excited about being their own boss, being in control of their decisions… if it isn't fun – they might as well keep doing what they are presently doing

You are so right Truus – if we just stop for a minute and think about "how would I feel if…" OR "how would I like someone to relate to me… more often than not, we would do the right thing. Sometimes we get pressured, by the teachings in the industry that we, "must get out of our comfort zone."

Unfortunately, this has often meant that we stop trusting our intuition, and we try to do what we think some wiser, more "industry-saavy" person tells us to do.

I say, "trust your instincts, your intuitions, your ethics – and forever change the way the business is done".

I agree with your thought Judy… people if they are going to do network marketing as a business they have to find the way that will excites them to get up in the morning to do it, not "the Big Guy Breathing". I think a new age in network marketing has come and therefore "new ways" in doing the business. Most of all it has to be Fun and give the person doing what they are doing joy.
Find that and you'll have success.

Thank you Judy, for making clear on how to use "the Big Guy Breathing in the background" if someone is inclined to have the 'help' of another person. However, if I was the person being prospected, to know that "my friend" needed the help of someone else to convince me to join him/her in the business, it would be a definite turn-off for me!

Judy, I think this is a brilliant article. There are millions of people looking daily for ways to maintain by purchasing quality services and products at the best prices. Most of them will gladly purchase from someone they trust if the quality, price and delivery are comparable to the market.

The network marketer who understands 1) the need to sell their products and support their customers, then 2) the subsequent advantage of providing the same business opportunity to others, is the business person who will succeed.

And those who follow their passion are the truly successful ones. Congratulations to Jim for realizing his purpose and path in life. I once was offered to purchase a demolition company at a great price, but could not visualize myself as successful with the junkyard that was the integral part of the business.

I look forward to #2 next week. Thanks.
