MLM Success- The MLM Quitter's Graveyard of Dreams by Doug Firebaugh
Leadership in Network Marketing requires sometimes to look at things in ways that others don't, to see things in ways others never will, and to think in ways others don't dare. This artice is a hard hitting article because it tells the truth about quitting in MLM and Life. It is a different approach to quitting and tells of a different way of thinking about quitting on your dreams. It will make you think.
It's called "Leading Edge Thinking" by some folks.
And there is something that we at PassionFire call the "MLM Quitter's Graveyard of Dreams" which says it all. It reads what the "Networking Dead" would want to say to their MLM Company and their Upline, but doesn't dare. It reads what the "Walking Corpse of Failure" in MLM would want to say to the people that go after them in most cases, but don't dare.
Why?
Inferno Secret:
Others have succeeded, BIG! HUGE! But not them.
This Tombstone in this Graveyard of Dreams was written hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, with the Letters engraved by the Pen of Inactivity, Ink of Self Doubt, the Hand of Procrastination, and the Letters of Deception.
What does this Network Marketing Tombstone say?
Why would we learn from it?
How can we change ourselves before it's too late?
You decide.
Imagine, it's foggy, and raining, and you are walking in the Graveyard of Dreams, and you find this tombstone suddenly. It is old, and chipped, and cracked. You just stare at it for a minute, and then kneel down. You wipe the mud off of the marble stone, and look at it.
It reads:
Here lay a deceased Network Marketer's Dreams. Full of cancer of "Group Think" and "They know what they are talking about-itis."
The words penned but never uttered are written on this tombstone for all to see, and be advised this was not death by Natural Causes, but by Natural Excuses. Excuses taught to them by the Poisoned Anthrax of the Mediocrity crowd.
All have regrets for listening to the Death Toll of the average:
I wished I would've Talked to more people
Sad, but true. The ring of the death bell of MLM constantly cries out for that, because they realize too late that NUMBERS were part of the Success Formula. They were too focused on being BUSY, and not Building a Business. They were too focused on begging People, not Building them. They were too focused on Hanging on to the ones that were leading them on, not the ones who could lead them into Success…
I wished I would've been more consistent.
Woe to the "Spare timers!" You can work this business either Full time, Part time, or Spare time. And most ork it Spare Time, only when they can Spare some time and "Fit it In." They will, but that will create such a lack of Oxygen for your business. The Oxygen of MOMENTUM, that you will soon find your business passing out, and then passing on.
I wished I would've trained my people, not Play-Trained them.
The sound of this rings hollow, for the Training is not to be played with, but to be embraced and realize this is what breathes life into the Soul of the Distributor's Dreams.
The bell of Regret rings with an empty sound because Playing at MLM training is the same thing as Playing with Land Mines. Both will explode underneath you without any warning.
I wished I would've been IN the business, not just in the Computer.
The scent of realization sometimes hits hard, and can burn. But there is a certain mindset and heartset that you must acquire and grow. If the Business is not in you, then you are only in the computer, waiting to be deleted.
I wished I would've given it just once. All I had, to obtain all I wanted.
Most people never give 50% of their best, let alone 100%. That will kill a business quicker than anything. For this business doesn't require 100%. It DEMANDS IT! If you give it 100% for 90 days, as hard as you can go, you will never have a tombstone like this.
I wished I would not have been so good at Lieing to myself.
We all lie to ourselves in life. We all deceive ourselves to try to convince ourselves that we add up, that we are good enough, that we gave it all we had, and in the meantime we are killing our self respect because deep down in the recesses of our hearts, we know it isn't true. And the cancer of "The Lie" eats away at our ability to face reality at what we are REALLY doing, and it slowly kills the belief in this Network Marketing business.
I wished I would've believed in me more.
The Pneumonia of Unworthiness is a killer. It can reach down inside of you and destroy everything that you strive to do. We all doubt ourselves in MLM, but it 's the ones who take a shot of "If they did it, I can do it' that survive and thrive in this business. You can believe in yourself more. Find someone who will let you lean on their belief while your's heals. Talk to an upline or someone in your company, and grab that Life Line of Truth that you are worthy and that the Power of Greatness lies within you. You are just waiting to prove all the naysayers WRONG.
Let their Dreams die, but not yours.
INFERNO Secret:
You want to know what Tomb stands for?
Taking On Miniscule Belief.
Don't live in the Land of regret, and sail on the sea of "What could have been."
Talk to more people. Be more consistent. Truly Train your people. Be IN the Business.
Give it ALL you have for 90 days. Quit Deceiving yourself, and Start Believing IN yourself.
And the Life in your Network Marketing business will grow beyond anything you could ever imagine.
There will never be in the Graveyard of Dreams a Network Marketing tombstone with your name on it, if you DECIDE there won't be.
But that is YOUR DECISION.
