Your Network Marketing Business and Your Exercise Program

You are probably looking at the title to this article and think that I am totally off the wall. What the heck do these two things have in common? More then what you can ever imagine and I will share what I know from personal experience.

I ordered an exercise machine years ago, a great little piece of exercise equipment that gave me a workout just putting it together. I remember the day it arrived, I was all excited, just like a little child at Christmas. I ran, got a pair of scissors and frantically opened the box, tore apart all the Styrofoam just to get to the machine inside!!

Disappointment #1 I had to assemble the thing. I did realize that there was SOME assembly required but the word some was very understated. So in a very meticulous way I separated all the pieces, laid them out on the floor just like in the diagram carefully counting every nut and bolt to ensure that I could build it to the specifications in the book. I am not talking pamphlet here, I am talking a book!! After a very trying evening I managed to get this equipment together and there in front of me were spare parts on the floor. It looked good, it worked so I figured they must have shipped extra pieces just in case!!

I donned the shirt that came with the equipment looked in the mirror and low and behold disappointment # 2. I did not look like that lady in the commercials that wears this shirt. I bought this equipment, assembled it, wore the shirt what more did I have to do? Oh that’s right I actually had to set up an exercise routine and USE the equipment.

After a few days of looking at the book and rearranging my schedule I started the exercises only to find out, yup you guessed it disappointment #3, it wasn’t nearly as much fun as it looked on TV! There was actually work involved; trying to get in shape is work there is no fun there at all!!

Now let’s see what is involved in your network marketing business. Someone spoke to me about a product that is the best thing since sliced bread. Hypes up the opportunity and states that it will be fun and easy to build a six figure income quickly and then you can sit back and reap the rewards for the rest of your life.

Now this is how that played out in the real world. I got all excited about the opportunity so I ordered a starter kit that gave me some products to use and all the information required to start building my wealth. I anticipated the day that it arrived and when it did, just like a child at Christmas I ripped open the package (didn’t need scissors this time) and poured all the contents out onto the floor anxiously looking over the contents to see the start of my successful business and a whole new life.

Disappointment #1, there is hardly any product but a whole bunch of literature that needs to be read. Nobody said anything about ALL this literature!!

Feeling a little overwhelmed at this point I dutifully put all the product away so it will be ready for use and pile all the literature to read tonight after supper. The excitement does come back slowly and I call a friend or two and tell them about this great new business that I just got involved in and guess what, here it comes, disappointment #2. That’s right they laughed, how dare they laugh at me when I am only trying to better my position in life!!

I called my sponsor and they say oh don’t worry about them they are just dream stealers you just need to make more calls and talk to more people. So I do as I am told only to be laughed at more so I call my sponsor once again and here comes disappointment #3, I find out that they have moved on to the next best thing out there and they no longer want to talk to me about that old business.

So in my frustration I pack up all the product and the literature in the box that it came in and put it out of site for a while until I decide what to do with it. Heck I might as well put it on top of the exercise equipment because that is just gathering dust anyway!!

So now do you see what both of these have in common? Whether you are building an exercise program or a successful internet marketing business there is no success in life without a game plan, a schedule, clear defined goals and the ability to educate yourself on the tasks at hand.

There is a program that is being dubbed that most jolting program on the internet that will help you with a game plan, a schedule and give you clear defined goals. You owe it to yourself to take a look and see what all the buzz is about.
