Why do some people fail in this industry, while others succeed to levels that most people only dream about. You have many people who live their dream lives with the income that they make from this industry, many have even attained millionaire status just simply working the system while others never sponsor more than 1 representative or customer.
On the surface the reason may seem very obvious. They quit, or they didn’t plug in, or maybe they didn’t participate. These are not the reasons though, but rather the symptoms of the reason.
The reason for this though, really is very simple. The difference between the two cases is simply a difference in the core desires of the individual. On one hand you have an individual that their core desire or their passion is to be successful and boss free. They don’t care what it takes, how long it takes they are going to be successful. It’s really not a question of if, it’s just a question of when.
Others simply don’t have the desire at a level to push them to accomplish their goals through their new business. When you come right down to it, in their mind they didn’t really purchase a business they purchased hope, mainly to quiet that part of them that keeps nagging them to make changes in their life.
Once they buy the business, and they don't make $1,000 in the first week, they can then justify their fear of change with the "logic" that it just "didn't work", and that they knew it was a scam to begin with... This is especially true with opportunity seekers.
Let me ask you a question. If you are in a business are you investing your money and your time to make yourself better equipped to succeed in that business. Are you just willing to give it a shot for a month or so, or are you willing to stick it out even through hard times, rather than suffer defeat. Basically do you approach your business with the attitude that you are going to succeed no matter how long it takes or what monetary sacrifices you might have to make.
If this is your attitude then I know of a business that it really won’t take all that long before you can see great success, if it’s not you attitude though I would advise that you just keep working for somebody else, not because you can not make it, but rather because you will not make it.
I’ve talked to people that say, “Some people just don’t have what it takes.” On one hand I would disagree with them. Anybody can be successful in their own business. It just takes work and a willingness to stick with it long enough to see the fruit of your work. If you plant a field full of vegetables and then give up and move because you can’t see where it has accomplished anything, you have not only lost the investment, and the time spent in work, but also the fruits of your labor that you would have benefited from if you had only stuck around.
Many people, as a matter of fact I would say most people that get into their own businesses, invest money to start a business. Maybe it really takes off immediately, but sometimes it doesn’t. They work at it, they talk to others about it, but nobody seems to be buying anything. Maybe for a whole month, they don’t make a sale. And they get discouraged and quit. What they don’t look at is that all those people they talked to that month, they’ve been planting seeds. Not only would they have benefited from the people that would have been customers if they had only kept on, but the ones that were not interested would have one day had a need that they could have filled, and if they had only still been working at it, guess who they would have come to.
Like I said though on one hand I disagree with the notion that “some people just don’t have what it takes,” but on the other hand I’ve got to agree with them. What they lack though is not the skills, those can be learned. It’s not the money, that can be earned. Really what some people lack that they need to succeed, is simply the drive and passion to succeed that is needed to push them to success and keep them going in the bad times leading up to that success.
I would like to say one last thing before I sign off. Maybe you are reading this today and you are just ready to quit whatever business you have gotten into. Now I don't know what you might be doing, but before you just write it off as a scam, look first at your product. Is it a good product that there is a real demand for? Look at others in the same business. Are they making money. If the product is a good one, and others are making a good living selling it, then it isn't a scam. I'm not saying that the problem isn't that you haven't worked hard at making it. But I would like you to consider something before you just quit, and cut your losses.
There are some people who can start a business and make $1,000 the first week, without even seeming to have to try. There are others who have to work hard to get a business off the ground. Most businesses take a lot of work getting established, but if you stick with it until it is established you've got it made after that. And if you think about anything that you've done in your life, remember that with most, you have to be bad at it before you get good at it.
I've worked in offices with groups of others who were also self employed, and I've been part of other groups that maybe didn't meet in an office every day, but were all also business owners. It has been my experience that the ones that fail, generally do so for one of two reasons.
Most of them just simply did not have the self motivation to work if somebody else wasn't looking over their shoulder. They would do their business full time, but they wouldn't get up and come to work until about noon, then they needed to leave around 2:00 for this or that. And of course when they didn't make it, "it was because that business was a scam." The business wasn't a scam, they were just lazy.
I hate to say it, but I have seen others who worked hard, and still failed at their business. Some of them would even do all right for a couple months then after 2 bad months they would get discouraged and quit. I've done it myself once or twice. I would honestly say though that if they had kept it up, I really believe that they would have ended up hugely successful. They had the work ethic, all they really needed was time to see the fruit of their labor, and also, just to get the experience needed to get good at it.
In closing, I would just like to say that both these situations again come back to what is your core desire. How important is it to you that you succeed at this. If success is a priority, then don't quit.
