Being honest with oneself is often quite difficult, because many people don't like to admit their own shortcomings. But there's no question that this is an essential element in achieving success in your endeavours. Cheers, Martin. Hi Tom,

Thanks! Being honest with oneself is often quite difficult, because many people don’t like to admit their own shortcomings.

But there’s no question that this is an essential element in achieving success in your endeavours.

Cheers,

I think when we are really honest with ourselves, and with others will we have the confidence to take the correct actions that are going to cause us to grow in the way that we desire, instead of going round in circles.

The point I was trying to make is that you need to be honest with yourself about your real mindset. If it's not a 'Failure is not an option' mindset then 95% of people will eventually walk away from it. So better to recognise that and do it now rather than later after more wasted time and money! Cheers, Martin. Mark, hi,

Very honest. I like this - "And all your investment of money and time will have been wasted. Better, in that case, to pull out now and cut your losses." I have to admit that is something I struggle with. Sometimes what keeps me going IS all the time and energy and money I've put into something and that always isn't a great motivator. Great post. Very honest.

I do get unbelievably frustrated at the ridiculous claims that are made in promoting these businesses. I'm not sure why people believe them - maybe it's because the Internet seems (to some) to be new and powerful so they think it must be quite reasonable to achieve results like that. Thanks again, Martin. Des, hi,

I really do believe it is not the fundamental business model that is problematic but a lack of basic ethics. Were none of these people taught by their parents to tell the truth? Not "tell half truths". Having been spun by some highly accomplished spinners of the type you refer to, I could have used these reflections and this advice some years ago.

Love your expression 'down with the hype, up with the help'. I do think of this as a training business, as much as a marketing and selling business. On the other hand there are people who will join your downline who just never get going whatever you do - makes me wonder why they invested to join in the first place! Thanks again, Martin. Thanks Troy..!

Over the last few years some in the network marketing profession have forgotten what our true service is all about. The money comes after helping others reach THEIR personal objectives, not by telling them how much money they just made. If we get back to the basics, we'll start focusing on helping our teams and then we will see the money come through the doors. Down with the HYPE, up with the HELP!!! Again, great post! Never Give Up, Troy Great post! Over the last few years some in the network marketing profession have forgotten what our true service is all about.
