Network Marketing Success — Don’t Forget to Smell the Roses
Network marketing can be addicting. The thrill of competition and learning new skills, the high one gets after successfully completing a sale, or reaching that income or recruitment goal you set at the beginning of the month.
It can all be very addicting.
A word of warning here, folks…
Don’t forget to take time out for the really important things in your life.
I’m talking about your wife, your kids, your girlfriend, your parents, other family members, and of course, your friends.
It is very easy to go overboard with your new found success in network marketing. Or even if you’ve not had success but can sense it inching closer.
But remember that any success you have in your life, whether it be in network marketing or anything else, will mean NOTHING without people in your life to share it with.
NOTHING.
On Friday, my wife Rosemary and I are jetting off to the Bahamas for 5 days.
Many in the network marketing community would say I’m crazy. After all, January is a killer month for marketers, especially with the job loss rate climbing and prices soaring. People need some strategies to get through this, right? And what we have to offer in network marketing is perfect for many of these people.
I know this.
I don’t care.
I’m going to the Bahamas on Friday for 5 days.
What many of you don’t know is that, at this time last year, Rosemary had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, and was later found to test positive for the breast cancer gene (making it much more likely for her to get breast cancer again and again).
Four surgeries and countless doctor visits later, Rosemary today can proudly say she is cancer free. But I will never forget that initial feeling on December 26, 2007 when the doctor spoke the 3 words that change your world forever….
“You have cancer”.
So what did Rosemary and I do (besides pray and seek out the best doctors we could find)?
We got married. It was the second marriage for both of us, and prior to this we were just taking a kind of “wait and see’ attitude about marriage. But we considered her diagnosis a wakeup call.
Someone upstairs telling us that ‘life is precious and what the hell are you waiting for‘?
So we got married, but with the cancer treatments and surgeries that Rosemary was undergoing at the time, we had no time for a honeymoon. We made a promise to each other that, when all this was over, we would take our long awaited vacation away from everything, just she and I.
So Friday we leave for the Bahamas, and for all the people out there who are looking for a way out of this economic mess, for all the poor souls who lost their job and need another way out, I’m sorry.
You’ll have to wait until we return.
For the next 5 days, it’s just Rosie and I and nothing else.
The successes will still be there when we return. So will the failures.
It doesn’t matter.
What REALLY matters is that we have each other.
Remember, everyone…. take the time to smell the roses in YOUR life.
I’ll post some pictures upon our return. Peace everyone.
To your profound happiness,
