The Tortoise Wins

When it comes to MLM, the tortoise wins every time. For those who enter the world of MLM and expect things to happen at break-neck speed, they WILL be disappointed. When you make the decision to improve your life and your financial situation in this business, it helps to know right from the start that this is a process. Success will not come overnight.

Success WILL come though, eventually. It is so much easier for those who understand the process in the very beginning. Those who come in with unrealistic expectations become frustrated, and then they quit. They are disillusioned because things are not as they had hoped.

Don't let this happen to you. Don't listen to all the hype out there telling you that you will get rich quick. Understand that MLM can help you break away from the daily grind of a 9 to 5 job, but you will have to work to achieve it. You will have to make a plan of action, and take those action steps daily and consistently.

Do you wonder what I mean by "action steps"? There are so many, but you will choose which ones work for you. You do not have to take them all. Examples are posting ads, buying leads, writing articles, setting up home parties, posting in forums, setting up an email signature, creating a personal website or blog, mailing postcards, handing out business cards, placing a web decal on your vehicle, posting flyers, etc. The list goes on and on. You will learn about them all once you get started in your business. Then, you will decide which ones work for you.

The beauty of MLM is that YOU decide how to run your business and how many hours per week you will work. No one will make those decisions for you. You truly are the master of your own destiny here. Sound good? Of course it does. Most of us don't really like being told what to do, what time to come to work and leave, and when to take vacation. MLM can take you away from all that, but it probably won't happen quickly.

If you are already a stay-at-home mom or someone else who just needs some extra income in short order, you should be able to accomplish that pretty quickly. Once you receive your start-up kit you can begin selling right away. Just make sure that your company offers a good product for you to sell. Even though you will not make a lot of money at first, you may be able to put enough money in your pocket to make a car payment or maybe even pay off a credit card.

Try to keep in mind that the tortoise wins, and that success in this business takes time. When you have that mindset, you will be less likely to become discouraged and give up on your dream. Plan your daily actions, DO them, give it time, be patient and persistent, and work hard. Follow the lead of those in your company who have achieved what you want. You will then become someone that others follow because you never gave up.
