Your Check Will Be As Big As You Are

Most people join an MLM Network Marketing company for one of 2 things:

1. To make more money.
2. To enjoy a wonderful product.

While both of these are excellent reasons for joining your MLM company, neither of them are the biggest benefit you'll receive ... if you're successful.

No, the biggest benefit you'll receive is your personal growth.

People buy books, go to seminars, listen to tapes (oops, I mean CDs) in order to achieve personal growth.

These can all be good. You need the right information to be successful.

But they are only "assistants" in your journey.

The only thing that will create real and lasting change (success) is actively working your business. This is where your real growth will come.

In fact, your business is the ultimate personal growth laboratory.

You can read all you want about prospecting, managing your time, training, lead generation, follow-up, "closing," etc., but until you start DOING these things, you won't get any real benefit.

When you DO start doing these things, you'll find they're harder than you imagined ... and now the real personal growth challenge comes:

Will you keep going even though it's hard, you don't have all the answers, and you're not sure you're doing it right?

Or will you put things on hold and go read a book, listen to a training, or go to a seminar so you can "figure out how to do this better before I go any further?"

I just finished a 3 month coaching program with the ultimate Google Adwords Guru, Perry Marshall. Although he's famous for writing "The Definitive Guide to Google Adwords," he's now built an entire team (more like "army!") around him to cover every cutting-edge aspect of Internet Marketing. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it if you're ready to work hard.

Anyway ...

At the end of the 90 day coaching program, he sent out an email that absolutely nailed what I'm talking about. Here's some samples from it:

Wanna-be's obsess about ideas.
Entrepreneurs obsess about implementation

Wanna-be's seek a perfect plan.
Entrepreneurs execute and adjust the plan later.

Wanna-be's put off practicing basketball until they've got Air Jordans.
Entrepreneurs practice barefoot behind the garage.

That's exactly right!

You'll never have it all figured out, develop your skills and become an expert BEFORE you start DOING your business.

It's the doing, getting feedback, making adjustments, and trying again ... that is the "magical" process that creates both personal growth and business growth.

In short, we succeed when we're willing to "fail forward!"
