Which Person are You?

It is times like this when you want to just quit! I get it, 2020 has been one hell of a year, but let’s face it: Life can be one of the hardest puzzles to solve. You can seemingly do everything right, play by the rules, follow the right steps and still not get ahead. It can make even the most determined big thinker out there want to hand up their shoes and quit the game.  I love this quote from Eric Worre – we have to ask ourselves in these situations which kind of person are you going to be?

When in Network Marketing, this is especially true. The first years are a rollercoaster ride of exciting make money times, and super lows. Hoping you found your diamond on your team, to only realize they are a dud. Up and down.

There are countless stories of very successful people who could have quit but opted to stay the course. I love 2 stories in particular:  Jay-Z and Sir James Dyson.

Jay-z grew up in the Marcy housing project in a single parent home. He pretty much failed at school. He found music and after hard work and meager success, he could not find a record deal. While trying to he sold CD’s out of the truck of his car. (Yes, CD’s were actually a medium for music once. Go look in your parent’s storage, lol.) He did not let the lack of deal stop him. What did Jay-z do? He created his own record label called Roc-a-fella record with some friends and the rest is musical history. Jay-z decided which kind of person he was going to be.

Sir James Dyson, as you probably know, came up with the idea of the cyclonic separation based vacuum cleaner simply because he was tired of his hoover losing suction. It took him 5,126 failures and an extremely supportive wife BTW (supportive partners always help your business grow) before he had a working model. Then, no distributors would take his idea as the vacuum bag business was a $123m at the time, and why mess with what’s working?  He took his hot pink product to Japan selling it via catalogue and in 1986, three after its introduction he got a US patent. He still had to create his own company to get it one the market.

These are two amazing stories of two individuals who could have thrown in the towel and quit but they didn’t which speaks to who they are as a person. This holds true when you start a network marking business. Sometimes the same ol’ won’t work. Will you quit? Or find a new way? Sometimes shelter in place will happen. Will you quit or learn modern social media techniques to grow your business?

We are looking for people who aren’t going to accept failure even if that means creating their own path. We love rebels, and continue to teach out team rebel ways for success! I can guarantee you there will always be a reason to quit and there will always be a reason to keep going. What kind of person are you going to be?
