It was a late night last night of updating and
improving and in the process of doing that it got me
thinking . . .
An online business, and even more so an internet
network marketing business, can really get you
scratching your head sometimes.
We're conditioned to think in a linear fashion. Do
this and get that result is really how we think.
Work 40 hours a week and get paid for 40 hours of
work. It's how we grew up and for most of us it's
how we were conditioned to think about our results in
life.
When it comes to business this isn't always the case,
and really most of the time it's not the case.
Business is not a linear thing.
Just yesterday I was sitting at my computer
scratching my head.
4 people joined my business directly with me as their
sponsor in the last 2 days. Not something to
complain about, after all I am the king of never
calling a single lead and that's the way things work
most of the time in my business, but this time it was
a little different.
You see during that period I had absolutely no ads
running for my business and still 4 people joined
with me as their sponsor without me having to do a
thing, meanwhile my first year in the business all
I did was prospect and call leads and nothing happened.
Why is it so easy now?
Well, once you have passive traffic coming your way
good things happen and you don't have to do
anything additional actively for those good results.
But this can get people confused. I know it did for
me for a long time. Some days would be great with
little effort and some days would be not so great
with a Herculean effort.
What the heck right?
That's business for you. It's not linear. You set it
up and once you get all the pieces in place
sometimes the results flow like the mighty Amazon and
others well just one lead would keep you going.
This shift stunts most. They still want to think that
their efforts should correlate directly to their
results and when it doesn't it frustrated the heck of
them. The best advice is settle down, know your
conversion figures, and just keep on pushing.
Let me tell you . . .
If you have a great marketing system, you're doing
the right things for generating interest in your
business via your marketing system you're on the
right track despite what the results show.
They will exceed your expectations in the long run.
Think about your business like this. It's more like
having a boat tethered to port by several ropes
than going to the J.O.B.
You may spend a huge effort getting one rope off and
you've made progress, but there is still 8 more
ropes to go and nothings moving.
You've made positive progress and you know it, just
don't let money be the only marker of your success
in the beginning.
That will come.
What if you could make a living online? How would
you're life change? What would you do? I took this
course and that dream has become a reality in my life
and because it I recommend it as a MUST have for
any truly interested. Go here now:
