MLM List Building and Email Marketing Strategies

I was watching a religious show last Sunday, which is not something I normally do. But it caught my attention while I was channel surfing, and to tell you the truth I am glad it did.

I’m not an overly religious man. My wife on the other hand spends several hours every week doing things with and/or for the church she belongs to. I rarely go. But I should go more because every time I do go the subject seems to relate to being successful.

This “sermon” I was watching was about why people suffer. Why they struggle. And this is not about religion by the way. It’s ’bout life. And for us network marketers, mlm is part of our lives that often brings one hell of a struggle.

So this man on TV says that the struggling and suffering is not punshment. It’s more to teach us something. For example perseverance. Or to build character.

Nobody WANTS to struggle. OK, almost nobody. I know I don’t want to. And I don’t like seeing you struggle either. But if we can step back from it and just look at it, there really is some good that comes from our struggle. We just have to be aware enough to see the good.

When I look at my own life, my own struggles, I can see a valuable lesson there. For me, I have learned humility and empathy. If MLM was really as easy as I was first told I never would have developed these traits. Character traits that I get to KEEP for the rest of my life.

So yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Struggling, believe it or not, IS a good thing.

There is another reason you could be struggling in your netwok marketing business. Why you keep experiencing setbacks. What some people would call FAILURE.

Leadership and Greatness.

Do you read biographies of great pople who have achieved great things. People like Elvis, Ray Kroc, Thomas Edison, Abe Lincoln? Ever notice how much these great leaders with a vision STRUGGLED first?

You have to understand. Nature has a set of rules. Laws. That’s just how it is. Nature, by its very design takes care of itself.

That’s why nature will never allow weak people to make it to the top. If they do, they will not stay there. To be on top you are going to have to struggle first. Nature is going to TEST you. Nature will keep knocking you down to see if you have what it takes to get back up again.

And if you will just get back up again enough times VICTORY will be yours. It really will.

My wish for you is that if you are struggling you will look for the value in it. You will use what you learn for the good of other people. And that you never give up.

We really need you.
