"Walk The Line....."

I received a news letter recently from Mike Dillard that was really on target. I'm sure many of you have attended network marketing events and it seems like you are the only one who hasn't made Big Bucks. Your the only looser in the croud.

I remember going to a convention in Dallas and it seemed as though about every other person I visited with had just started a few months earlier and was already making several thousand a month. Now that's disheartening ......... made me feel like "I" was missing something. This was one of the reasons that I had quit network marketing before and now I was experiencing it all over again.

Since then, I've learned what I always suspected. Network marketing is like any other business. It takes time, learning, and a huge dose of work to become truly successful. There is NO shortcut.

Here are excerpts from his letter.........

"Walk The Line..."
- A Raving Rant By Mike Dillard
Complete With Photos.

Well, I'm sitting here about 11:00 PM watching "Walk The Line" for the fourth or fifth time, and every time I do, it still inspires me.

Why?

Because it's about a man who followed his dream though hell and high water. He was willing to do whatever it took, and even managed to do so while battling the personal demons that haunted him and the conflicts he struggled with at home.

I want you to understand something about me, and from this day forward, I want you to take a long hard look at yourself and decided want it is that you REALLY want out of life because you've got to make a choice... You either do what you need to, or you don't...

There is not middle ground... No "have your cake and eat it to".

I'm not intelligent by society's standard. It took me 5 years to graduate from college with a 2.0 and my newsletters have more spelling errors than Paris Hilton has boyfriends.

I took all of my finance classes, all of my accounting classes, and all of my math classes THREE TIMES EACH, before I passed them.

But I was smart enough to know a few things that most people don't...

I knew enough to know, that there is no "we'll do it for you" solution to anything in life, let alone home businesses which usually prey upon those with that mentality.

I knew enough to know, that I needed to learn more if I was to get what I wanted, which is why I spent most of my college years not in class, but at Barne's and Noble reading "real" books on business.

I knew enough to know, that if I wanted to stop buying leads, I'd need to learn how to generate my own, so I bought some books and learned how.

I knew enough to know that if I wanted to sell my business and products to people, that I'd need to learn how to write a sales letter, so I bought some books and learned how.

I knew that if I wanted to make my own sales letters, I'd need to learn how to make a website, so I bought some books and learned how.

I knew enough to know that if I wanted to be successful in network marketing, I'd need to get over my fear of the phone, so I took a job that required me to make 200-300 cold calls per day, and learned how.

But here's the one thing I NEVER DID during the past 6 years that allowed me to go from A to Rich...

I never complained, I never whined, I never bitched, I never blamed anyone other than myself, and I never gave up because I would have rather spent my life in poverty trying than to have lived it in resignation that I didn't have what it took.


I don't want to burst your bubble, but here's God's Honest Truth...

If you want what I've got, you've got to be willing to do what I've done.

You've got to earn the right through blood, sweat, and tears, and there is NO alternative, so don't ever ask me or anyone else if there's an "easy way" to do something.

Are you willing to do that?

Then here's "My List"... The price I paid to get to where I am, found on the bookshelves you'll see pictured below...

Thing and Grow Rich
How To Win Friends And Influence People

The Aladdin Factor

Speed Enrollers

The Irresistible Offer

The Obvious Expert

Rich Dad, Poor Dad

.......................

Countless hours of conference calls

Countless email newsletters from dozens of trainers

Countless phone conversations with successful mentors


.......................

So here's the bottom line...

NEVER... EVER... ask me if there's an easy way to generate leads, make money online, or build a downline.

Don't EVER ask me if "Magnetic Sponsoring" will work for you or your company. (Of course it will).

Don't EVER ask me if it's the only book you'll ever need to buy. (Of course it's not).

Don't EVER ask me why I charge what I charge for the knowledge in Magnetic Sponsoring or Traffic Formula.

Don't EVER whine or complain when a prospect rejects your weak phone call.

Don't EVER ask me if there's a magic pill that will change your life.

Why?

BECAUSE IT'S JUST PLAIN INSULTING TO THOSE OF US WHO PAID THE PRICE.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND DO THE SAME.

Success is not the result of luck or an accident.

Success is not fast.

Success is the culmination of countless failures and endless hours of study.

But most of all... Success is worth the sacrifice.

..................................................

As you can see, Mike has had to pay the price and I think anyone who is truly successful in any business has a price to pay. It's the price of admission to a different way of living a happy and abundant life.

I am worth it, and, You are worth it! We simply have to make the choice that no matter what happens, we won't quit working on ourselves and our dreams.
