The Conspiracy Against Your Success

Over the last 6 years in my own pursuit of success in the Network Marketing field I have just about seen and heard it all about what it takes to be successful.  I have mentored and coached many people who appeared to really want to get out of their situation and crack success, but actually very few who actually do what’s necessary.

In simple terms, a person’s success is only determined by the level of discomfort they are prepared to endure.

There are many different types of people who get started in this industry. Some have the financial backing, some are broke, some are extremely driven, some never take action and some will spend 10 years treading water and never achieve anything.  A vast majority of Network Marketers will also bounce from one company to the next always searching for the ‘shortcut’ to success and never learning the necessary skills to become a successful leader.

The one thing that I have really attributed to my own success is the level of discomfort that I have been willing to endure in pursuit of success. I know that I am much more willing to take risks that most people because I have always been willing to do whatever it takes. I spent well over 4 years harbouring over $40K worth of debt and still managed to find funds and play credit card shuffle in order to educate myself even more.

I have always been fascinated by the huge number of people who start a business, keep paying their expenses every month but are never willing to step outside of their comfort zone. You see, most people want results without getting uncomfortable because that is what we are taught.  Society teaches us to go to school, get an education, work hard, get a job and live a stable life within your own limitations. Some people are happy with that. And there is nothing wrong with that, but if you are one of those people that are not happy with a life of limitations – then you have to ask yourself what are you willing to do to change that?

Do you honestly think that staying within your comfort zone and not taking major risks is going to set you apart from everybody else?  Taking away your safety net is the only way to get you to do things you would have never done before.  It’s a fact that over 97% of people who start their own business will fail within the first 5 years, so to be apart of that 3% you have to study what they do and be prepared to do as they do.

Every successful entrepreneur has taken huge risks to achieve huge results. Take Richard Branson for example – I doubt there would be many people that could stack up against him for the risks he took to achieve his financial freedom.  He didn’t get lucky or just plodded his way to success – he did things that nobody else would be willing to do.

We learn and grow the most when we are the most uncomfortable and we learn more from adversity than we do just being comfortable. Becoming solution focused becomes necessary when you have your back up against the wall and you have no safety net.

In summary, the only conspiracy against your own success is you and the limits you put on your own discomfort levels. If you want to win big you have to be prepared to play big.

To your ultimate success
