How did he Succeed?

I was sitting here surfing the my space chat rooms and I realized something. In the background I had some Prepaidlegal success stories going. Then it hit me! All of these guys have gone through some great and sometimes painful struggle! They all went through some moments of pain and maybe doubt. They all had those people who did not support them and in many cases actively attacked them. Yet, in each case they never gave up. They continued to move forward with their goal in mind.

Now, that was the success stories. But the myspace forum was talking about how the MLM industry has gotten a bad wrap. Why? Because, many people have not caught on to the relationship side of Networking. They described it as the 'Hit and Run', technique. But, is this truly the problem?

Is it necessary to build the relationships?

That seems to be the IDEAL. But don't we sometimes get stuck on the 'ideal' and forget the reality. The reality is that, most people don't want to build relationships as much as they want to build the large incomes. Is this the ideal situation? No. But, is it the reality? Yes.

I personally would like to have many friends. I would like to spend time with those many friends. But, quess what? I don't have the time to spend with the friends and family I have now! Why? Because, I don't have the freedom to do so. Why? Because I don't have the income to buy back my time! Its a catch-22 so to speak. The whole idea behind Network Marketing is the leveraging of your time and efforts. The keyword being, leverage of TIME.

Okay, back to the title. How did he do it? He understood that he would have to grow the business, no matter what other people did or said. He wanted to build relationships, but he was on a mission to create a dream. So, he had to limit his time with certain people (if not many). He could not afford to spend as much time with many recruits because, the catch phrase is, 'work with the willing.' Time is of the essence. He knew he had no time to waste, yet he knew he must allow time to do what it does. All of this had to be allowed to become, while he maintained a laser like focus. A focus that probaly made him out to be rude. Some called him a sell out, but he knew he would have to sell out in order to leave out so he could come back and help out! (Darnell Self) And all of these things he had to determine for himself, what was acceptable and what was the middle road.

The truth is, no one can say that you must do it this way or that way. Each person is a independent business owner. This means that they must decide what is acceptable for their journey. Am I saying that now everything is Subjective? No, there are still principles involved. But, each person must apply these principles to their own life and business. This is what makes it so interesting. This is what gives life its color. This is why people from all walks of life can succeed in the Network Marketing Industry (a.k.a. Direct Selling). This is why each journey is unique. Each success story is unique. Each story has value. Each person has a story to write and create along the journey of their success.

How did he succeed?

Ask him or her. Listen. And see what parts are similar to the others' stories. Therein you will find the principles.

Once again, the principle seems to be, PERSISTENCE.
The key to persistence, is the constant journey toward PERSONAL GROWTH!
