The rate at which people embrace and get into MLM/NM is quite amazing. But the level with which people drop out is quite devastating.
Excitement fills the hearts as we watch the videos, listen to the testimonials and read the magazines. Our whole body thrills with joy as we see the magnificent lifestyles being lived by successful network marketers.
We instantly believe their stories could be ours too and we charge out with excitement and great enthusiasm. We begin the process of prospecting and presenting. But no sooner had we begun that the excitement and enthusiasm decrease. We get frustrated and tired and feel like quitting.
“I’m tired of this!” You shout to yourself.
Before You Quit
Before you hands off completely and say bye bye to MLM / NM, before you throw in the towel and begin to chant the “it’s not for me” or “I just can’t do it” song, why not pause and think? Why not recoil to a quiet place where your mind can work actively as you ruminate and ponder on the turn of events?
Don’t just quit because the going has turned tough.
Remember that the road to rhema is mostly always rough.
So before you quit, pause and reflect.
You Have Something To Lose
It’s not uncommon to hear someone on his way to quitting say that he has nothing to lose. Really? You don’t? Check these out:
- Invested Time: those spent on trainings, seminars, webinars and events of all sort. Those spent prospecting and presenting, reading magazines and watching videos; which could have been spent on other things.
- Invested Money: initial cost of signing up or registration, starting products (for product-based MLM businesses), money spent on transportation and airtime, etc.
- Invested Energy: expended physical, mental, emotional and psychological energies and their accompanying stresses.
- Damaged Reputation: How will you face friends and families whom you have hurriedly and unprofessionally pitched and sold the idea of a magnificent lifestyle, never-ending residual income and luxurious travels to and tell them you no longer believe in the dream you sold them before?
- Low Self Esteem: how will you see yourself — piling up the number of unfinished tasks and uncompleted projects — further empowering the negative belief of quitting and inconsistency?
Resolve to Keep Keeping On
Your best bet is never to stop moving. It may be quite challenging at the beginning but the
If you’re not flying, run.
If you’re not running, walk
If you’re not walking, crawl.
By any means, never stop moving.
You can only win when you do not quit. Once you quit, you can never win. The choice is yours to make — whether to quit or remain.
So whenever you are tempted to quit, pause & reflect, think about all you have to lose and keep on keeping on.
