How many times have you had a team member NOT understanding that his/her success is in their own hands, not yours?
How about you? Have you blamed your upline for your lack of success?
If YOU want success, then YOU have to make success a habit.

Of course doing our due diligence before joining any business is a must! But having a great compensation plan is not enough!
We often blame everyone but ourselves for our failures in business and in every day life.

Understanding that action comes before results is one of the biggest challenges most network marketers have.
If you would be able to pay yourself for the time and effort you've put today in building your business how much money do you think you would deserve? Try to answer that question honestly based on time and effort.

How can we expect results if we don't take action?
Jerry Clark once said that in a traditional job we exchange time for money - in Network Marketing we exchange time for results.

Most people are still stuck in that J.O.B. mentality:
Punch in - punch out and get a check every 2 weeks like clock work.
If the check does not come 2 weeks into the business they contemplate quitting, and if the check does not come 4 weeks into the business they quit.

They are in the J.O.B. mentality but forget one very important factor:
In a traditional job you put in 40 hours per week and only then you get paid.

How many hours have you put this week into your business?
Surfing the computer, reading the Yahoo headlines and staring at the wall does not count.

Successfully doing nothing and pretending to be an entrepreneur is not the path to financial freedom.

Here is a tip from Tom Big Al Schreiter :

How to threaten your downline.

Are you tired of your distributors blaming YOU for their lack of success?

Want to get your distributors to take personal responsibility for their success?

Simply say this to your new distributors:

If you go out there and become a huge success in this business, it will not be because of me, it will be because of you.

If you go out there and fail in this business, it will not be because of me, it will be because of you.
