Just Don't Quit

In almost every profession, when the person stops working, the money stops. But not in network marketing.
It is different in network marketing.  In the beginning, you do a lot of groundwork and foundation building, and you don’t make a lot of money. But every bit of work you do will continue paying you later, in what is known as a passive residual income, or royalty income.

If you were being paid hourly, you could complain in the beginning phases of network marketing that you were underpaid or getting less than minimum wage.

But 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. You have succeeded in network marketing, it now works for you.

Professional network marketers look at the 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.

But the work you do today, or more specifically, an hour you spend today is the equivalent of eight hours in the future with your business growth when you are taking the advantage of a duplicatable system.

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. That is why it doesn’t really make sense to ask a network marketer what they make. If they are still in the building stages they may not be making their target income yet, but are working hard at building their foundation.

But it’s that passive residual income that drives many people from other professions into network marketing. They want to realize a full time income in their retirement. They like the residual income and the financial security that network marketing brings.

On a sad note, there are some individuals who get into network marketing and build a foundation, but then because they didn’t feel they earned enough money during this learning and building stage of their career, they quit.

I love the network marketing business model. Network marketing has the potential for income and financial security for anyone that will put forth the effort and commitment, even those with little money to invest. Since success in network marketing comes with persistence, then simply don't quit. That works for me.
