All of this sounds good, doesn’t it? But wait a minute, let’s take a look at downside.

1. Maybe you don’t want to work at home. 2. Although you are your own boss that doesn’t mean you can “goof off”. To be successful you must work, so you have to be a self-starter. If you are kind of person who always has to be told what to do and when to do it, this isn’t for you. 3. In network marketing your income is virtually unlimited but you are not guaranteed any income at all. Some people would rather count on a certain sum, however low, every week than to take a chance on making more money. 4. You will probably have to invest some money. Maybe $50 to $500. 5. It is true that some start off making money in network marketing but for most it takes at least a few months for money to begin to come it. 6. To really make a lot of money you must be willing to commit a minimum of 2 to 5 years in this business.

Okay, you have seen some pros and cons about network marketing. Like any other endeavor success you achieve depends on how much you want it. In this business if you are willing to give focused effort, commitment and persistence you have potential to reach any level of success you desire. It is not unreasonable to expect, with these qualities, within a few years to create a residual walk-away from income for rest of your life. There is no other business I know of where this can be done without investing a large amount of money. And in network marketing you don’t have to buy a franchise, rent a building, hire help and deal with payroll taxes. It’s a simple, proven way to make money and is wave of future.

Be very clear about your intention and follow your heart. Create intention of where you want to go and what you want, yet not so much that you lose sight of opportunities and possibilities that show up around you. If you want to increase your possibilities, increase your centers of influence. The centers of influence being people that you partner with in order to help each other. When you are crystal clear about where you are going, you are better able to educate others so that they can assist you. By way, remember to revel in journey.

As your journey leads to stretching outside of your comfort zone, choose goals that you are confident you can reach. When you set small goals that you know you can attain you set yourself up for success. You create a track record, build confidence, and increase momentum. People around you can see and feel energy flowing. These many small successes one-by-one will be wind behind your sails to quiet your inner critic and eliminate those self-limiting beliefs. With each small success your wind will gain strength, and before you know it you will be gliding to new and exciting places. So I request you go for it and set first goal...Starting Now!

Taking Action: Notice how you talk to yourself...the voice...whose is it?...the tone Create a plan of action to change voice next time it shows up Be crystal clear about your intentions, yet be open to possibility and opportunities Choose small goals to build a track record, gain confidence, and build momentum
