Are You An MLM Casualty?

Do you know anyone that you can think of that decided to build an mlm business, was excited, motivated and tried to convince you to join? Do you know anyone that was once in ONE mlm, and then another or changed 3 or 4 times?

Think of family and friends. Do you know of anyone that was once in the father of all MLM's Amway? Did they succeed? Are they still doing that today?
MLM horror stories and casualties are all over. Many start but few finish. Why is that?
Well I heard someone say something just yesterday that made sense.

"If you want to quit, ANY excuse is good enough".

In our industry, there will always be challenges and mountains to climb. How many people do you think make mega bucks running top companies in America that just got their with no effort?
You read about people in our industry making millions. Do you think they just fell there with no challenges or trials and errors? NOPE they struggled, they worked their tails off and they were the survivors.

Building an empire takes time, effort and much challenge. No one just happens to fall there. Everyone has challenges, some more than others but there are millions of mlm horror stories. There are also plenty of success stores about there as well. The difference between the successes and the failures is the successful people never quit, they get knocked down and they get back up. Many times over and over.

The successful person NEVER considers quitting or giving up. IF you want to quit, ANY excuse is good enough. Sometimes things happen and you may get upset or mad. That happens to all, the difference is the successful person faces challenges head on and sees them on blips in the radar.

It takes determination to succeed. It takes tenacity and perseverance. It is NOT easy but it is worth it. EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE to succeed or fail. Sometimes there is ONE challenge difference between a winner or a loser but a winner NEVER quits. When I started in this industry 10 years ago, I VOWED to be a success, and quitting was NEVER an option I allowed myself. I've had my share of ups and downs, and sometimes it seemed more downs than ups.

I was knocked down, stomped on used and abused but I was also too tough to stay down. I got up swinging more times than you can count. I never gave up on my dream of financial independence and making a difference. When I was hit with roadblocks, I just went around, over or thru. I started over many times, but I never gave up. Today I have several solid incomes and I'm glad I didn't become an mlm casualty.

It makes me sad to see people that let the small things blow them out of the water. It makes me sad to see so many people with so much more talent than me, become so focused on all the negatives that they can't see the forest for the trees. It's sad, but that's life.

Everyone had a choice to be an mlm casualty or a success, just by sticking it out, learning from the road blocks, and the tough times and being around to see things thru.
Hope to see all of you at the top one day.
