A recent business week article goes beyond the obvious into the how and why behind a massive roll out of pink slips about to take place. People are more scared than ever regarding their incomes. Are you going to stand frozen from action or will you capitalize on this situation and realize that it is an opportunity. If you represent a good network marketing company with a product of real value you stand positioned to create true wealth in the coming years. Get plan and take massive action, in times of change there will big winners and big losers, which category will you fall in?
Ever wonder why 8 out of 10 Americans are broke and live swimming upstream their entire life?
What separates high school from college? What separates the amateur from the pro? What separates the factory line worker from the “greedy pig” who owns the factory?
In essence, what is it that separates the “haves” from the “have-nots”?
I would suggest that the critical difference is that the “haves” were first willing to “have-not”. The people who ultimately have little usually blow their wad early. It’s the people who can delay gratification that end up holding the cards later in life.
Have you ever noticed the guy who drove the coolest car in high school is not the same guy driving the coolest car at their 25 year reunion? I would surmise that most professional athletes were not winning popularity contests in high school. The “greedy pig” who now owns the factory probably had to sludge through years of tireless obsession to get their enterprise off the ground while his line workers were enjoying daily happy hour and encouraging others to partake so their own lot in life seems a little more palatable.
Pleasures of the now are what produce teen-age mothers, high school dropouts, poverty and host of other societal problems. With the lack of anything productive to focus on, what else is there than to get a job and start this thing called life? What else is there than to “settle down” and start a family? What else is there than to follow the crowd to happy hour?
The funny thing is that kids, jobs, families and like are all good things… in due time. When jobs and families are started as a result of a focus on fulfilling the pleasures of the now, what we get as a result are the problems of tomorrow.
It is a downward spiral of sorts.
When families are started too early, parents get caught into the day to day of just getting by and develop only a mere fraction of their own potential. Their own personal development stops completely. Then in the rearing of their children do you think these parents are able to pass on the “family secrets” to happiness and prosperity? Do you think these kids are brought up learning the value of delayed gratification and how to turn their dreams into reality?
I’m in line at the grocery store and a parent gives in and purchases whatever a kid’s heart desires just to appease them for a moment, only to have to appease them the next moment for yet another crisis. Moments turn into minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days, days to months and before you know if you have a life full of momentary pleasure. Visions of grandeur quickly turn into bitter pipe dreams and a life of frustration. This all brought about by the fast food attitude of instant gratification. People are literally trading their lives away based on the short lived gratification of animal impulses.
It is time that people learn they can do more than just react to life, to be human means that we need to utilize that which makes us so.

We are headed toward some rough times. Will your network marketing business flourish or flounder? Traditionally speaking network marketing does well in a recession because people are looking for a backup plan and people are looking for some extra income just in case.
The question is whether we are quickly headed to just another recession or if we are headed toward a full blown depression.
In a recession people still have a fairly good confidence about themselves and the ability of others to purchase their products and join them in their business. The problem comes when you are suddenly representing a product/service that is viewed as a luxury. Luxuries become fantasies in a depressed economy.
Are you confident that you can show people a realistic plan to quickly recoup their investment and hit a break even point? Do you have a system? If so, does your prospecting system require a large outlay of investment that people are going to be afraid to part with in times of uncertainty then you are going to have some issues.
I’m not suggesting that you need a new mlm business. I’m suggesting that you will likely need a new plan for your current mlm business.
