Why Quitting Is Not An Option If You Want To Win

Here is a sad fact: Most people who come into the network marketing profession quit! There are many ways to view this statistic. Quitting is not unique to the network marketing industry. People quit school, they quit jobs, they quit marriages, they quit exercising; quitting is easy. By their nature, people often quit when the going gets tough. Deciding not to quit ensures that you are going to be way ahead of the masses. When you realize that you can be quite successful by sponsoring as few as 1, 2, 3, or 4 leaders, it just makes sense to persevere until these leaders show up.

Can you imagine going through life with a voice inside of you crying out that you are a quitter? What a terrible thing to think of yourself or of someone else. Those who choose to quit fail to persevere because they lack an expectation that they will discover what is missing that would result in the achievement of their goals.

Virtually every day of your life you will hear an inner voice encouraging you to quit something. Quitting always represents the easy (but undesirable) road, the path of least resistance. This path leads to a lack of belief in yourself and in your ability to accomplish what you have conceived mentally and emotionally. The quitter's path of least resistance leads to doubt and disappointment. It is the path that ultimately leads to failure.

The path of least resistance destroys any potential for character, because it steers clear of those events that must occur in your life if you are ever to test your mettle, toughen your character, and temper your resolve. Each time you embrace challenge as a new opportunity to grow, you will become more and more disdainful of the path of least resistance. You will be too busy blazing the trail to your greatest potential to even think about quitting.

One of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself is the promise not to quit. Making the promise is one thing...fulfilling the promise is entirely another. You see, quitting is easy...it creates a sense of instant gratification. Quitting does not call  you to dig deep within yourself to test the measure of your character.

One of the great things about a network marketing business is that it doesn't cost much to become involved. One of the terrible things about a network marketing business is that it doesn't cost much to become involved. With such a low threshold of risk, it is easy for people to walk away if they are not immediately rolling in money.

By deciding early that quitting is not an option, you will have passed 85 percent of the people who come into this profession. That decision alone will put you in the top 15 percent of distributors who get started in the first place. As in life, just showing up every day to work your business with a great attitude is half the battle. Decide very early in the game that quitting is an unacceptable response to adversity, rejection, and difficulty.
Become a perpetual student of the network marketing game, committed to acquiring enough information and expertise to convince you that your ultimate success is inevitable.

If you are unwilling to go through the process of rejection, rise up above the daily difficulties, and experience the personal development necessary to become an attractive business partner and sponsor, then this business is not for you. You are likely going to be personally tested more in this business than with anything else you have ever done. Are you going to shy away from these challenges or embrace them, knowing that the struggles and defeats will turn you into the person you need to become to achieve success? Don't fear the process, embrace it. Embarrassing the process of becoming the person you wish to be will separate you from the masses of people who hope for a better tomorrow but are unwilling to pay the price necessary for success. Make yourself a promise. Quitting is not an option. Quitting is a pattern of behavior that is all too easy to repeat. Persevering is also a pattern of behavior that will repeat itself. Draw your personal line in the sand. Decide that with this journey, there is no such thing as quitting. It is simply not an option. When you make the firm decision that there are no events, no people, no disappointments that will bring you to the point of saying, "I quit," you will have given yourself permission to do whatever it takes to be successful.$
