Learn to Earn

* If a surgeon decides to quit operating, the money stops.
* If a dishwasher decides not to wash dishes, the money stops.
* If an attorney decides to stop suing people, the money stops.
* If an IRS agent decides to stop auditing people, the money stops.

In almost every profession, when the person stops working, the
money stops.

But not network marketing!

In network marketing, it’s different. In the beginning, you do a
lot of groundwork and foundation building, and you don’t make
a lot of money. If you were being paid hourly, you could complain
that you were underpaid or getting less than minimum wage.

However, most network marketing leaders look at this building
period as a learning period. It?s like going to school. But, instead
of paying tuition, you can earn some money while you learn.

Once you complete the groundwork and foundation, the money
formula changes drastically. Now, you are getting paid bonuses
every month, even if you don’t work hard or when you take a
vacation.

So, in the beginning you do a lot of work that you don’t get paid
for, but in the end you get a lot of pay for when you don’t work.

On a sad note, there are some individuals who get into network
marketing and build a foundation. But because they didn’t feel
they earned enough money during this learning and building stage
of their career, they quit. Yes, they quit just before they go into
the collecting stage of their careers. I guess the rewards go to
people with persistence and vision.

This is from Art Jonak's email series, which if you haven't already subscribed, you should. This is a great example of understanding that the first few years are a learning curve. Unless you have come to ONE Group with ten years of experience in network marketing, this is the case for all of us - including me.

You know, many of you joined with me in the first few months of that I joined. I didn't know what I was doing. Even today, there are times when I feel like I am going in the wrong direction and must alter course. But I learn more each day through trial and error and by reading Art Jonak's information, Big Al's information, Kim Klaver's information, Tim Sale's information - and many others who have made millions in the industry and are sharing what they learned to find success.

Reading and learning are wonderful investments of your time. If you aren't sure where to take your business and find yourself each day saying, "Tomorrow," then instead of postponing doing something - learn about it TODAY!

Let's succeed together!
