Network Marketing - Success or Failure? You Choose!

It is readily apparent to me that people wanting to start a home business start out on an almost predictable journey.  They find something that they seem to want to be dedicate in promoting.  The see their names and email addresses on a website of some type and now they are staged to get rich quick, with almost no effort, while they continue to be depressed in their day job.  They seem to think that Internet Marketing is something that will happen automatically with no effort on their part.  They are simply looking for a way out of their dismal circumstances and seem to think that maybe, just maybe, this new networking marketing gig will pay rich rewards for them.
 
After having been involved in the search engine optimization and network marketing business for about five years, I can honestly say that NOTHING happens quickly on Google.  You will struggle to learn daily, the techniques and strategies that you need to become successful.  You will find that marketing is not an easy thing to do.  There are articles to be written, blogs to post your articles on, websites to create, forums to find and post your comments on and a literal thousand and one things that you MUST accomplish, or you will never see any success at all.
 
I do not believe in doing anything but telling the truth.  The truth is, the reason that 95% of people do not make any money, nor will ever make any money, is the fact that they are too damned lazy to get off their butts, and go to work.  They had rather become involved with their particular spheres of influence, and systematically try to pick and bitch and moan and whine, more than they had just simply go to work.
 
I have seen this in all the organizations that I have been part of.  The 1% or less, of the people are committed to excellence and the other 99% are just willing to chat, surf, bitch, moan, whine and complain that they just are not making any money in their present business.  So what do they do?  They go and find yet another network marketing business to join, and go about the same path of chatting, and gaining no significant ground in promoting themselves on Google, or their respective businesses.
 
If you think that you are going to make money in a network marketing business in a day, a week a month or even a year, then I have a suggestion for you.  Simply keep the day job.  There are no quick fixes to becoming successful here.  There is only writing, writing, writing and more writing.  You must be willing to place more information live on the net, than anyone else does.  You may not even think that you can write, but you are wrong in that thinking.  If you can read and spell, then you can write information and post it to blogs, forums, press releases, build websites and all the other things that you should be doing, instead of complaining that you just cannot make it.
 
Its a fact that most will spend more time criticizing other people in what they are attempting to accomplish, than they will just closing off the rest of the clatter and clamor of the world, and pay attention to THEIR OWN BUSINESS.  If you are one of the ones that is criticizing other people for what they are promoting, and NOT paying attention to what YOU should be doing, then I have no doubt that you will not achieve success in any of the things that you are attempting to accomplish.
 
Why do you think that a very small percentage of people are actually making money on Google?  I can tell you for a fact that they, like myself, are like pit bulldogs.  They are willing to write when they don't want to.  They are willing to attend training sessions, even if its not convenient.  They are NOT interested in what the OTHER people are doing, because they are too damned busy paying attention to what they need to do to reach a pinnacle of success that they few will achieve.
 
It has been said that we all work on the 80-20 rule.  I tend to think that we work on the 99-1 rule.  That being that 99% of people had rather complain and do absolutely nothing constructive with their time while the 1% will take the responsibility of making a difference.
 
Network marketers, pay attention to my words of wisdom.  Perhaps some of this will absorb into your psyche and you will begin paying attention to your own work, than the work of the people that are trying to accomplish something great in their life.
