Has Your Initial Excitement Run Out?

by Christopher D. Anderson on June 12, 2009

I’m sure every­one has felt it. They join a new MLM or other com­pany and things get off to a good start. Your excited, you have many tools at your dis­posal. So you start recruit­ing. You get some new peo­ple in and start build­ing your down­line. Then it just lev­els off and you hardly get any­thing new. Then it’s bor­ing and easy to give it up.

It hap­pens all the time. A new prod­uct or com­pany launches and does really good at first, then lev­els out. You lose your moti­va­tion and move on to some­thing else. But here’s the thing. You’ll never suc­ceed in one thing if you don’t stick with it.

It doesn’t mat­ter what it is. Whether it’s a new com­pany you’ve joined or a new project you have started your­self, it takes time to build. It’s easy to for­get that online busi­ness is a lot like your nor­mal busi­ness. You must build it a lit­tle at a time. Day by day. True overnight suc­cess is very rare.

So once you get going and it gets to the point it doesn’t seem like it’s work­ing any­more. Keep going. Joined a new com­pany? Keep try­ing to recruit. Started a blog? Keep blog­ging, even if it seems you don’t have much of an audi­ence. Mak­ing your own prod­uct? Keep work­ing on it.

As long as your try­ing to help oth­ers and solve oth­ers prob­lems, then keep going with it. Most peo­ple quit right before they suc­ceed with their ven­ture. There is a story of a man who decided to dig for gold. He found a spot are start­ing dig­ging. He kept dig­ging and dig­ging. And found noth­ing. Even­tu­ally he just gave it up and moved on. He was 3 feet away from a vein of gold. 3 feet!

If he would have kept dig­ging just a lit­tle bit more. He would of found that gold, instead of some­one else.

My point is this: Don’t give up to soon. Even if suc­cess seems far away, most of the time it’s right around the cor­ner. Help oth­ers and solve their prob­lems. With your knowl­edge or prod­ucts and you will suc­ceed. Stay per­sis­tant. Never give up!

Suc­cess Takes Time Peo­ple! I did for me. I does for most! I made a mul­ti­ple six fig­ure income work­ing an aver­age of less than 2o hours a week last year. But guess what… it wasn’t my first year. It wasn’t even close! It takes time but if you do it right long term Net­work Mar­ket­ing will work for those of you that are still around in 3–5 years. :) @EthanLanagan

Agreed. It does take time. Seems like magic when you see peo­ple like you that are already mak­ing a liv­ing. But it’s not. I’m sure you had to work hard, just like every­one else.
