The ”Hope and Pray” Network Marketing Formula
Most people in this industry use the “Hope and Pray Formula.” That means…
* Most people just put up a website and HOPE for sales.
* Most people assume and PRAY that the rest of the world wants what they’ve got to sell, and will buy it the moment they see it. (…just this once!)
* Most people have heard of those OTHER PEOPLE who have made real money online, think they’re just LUCKY, and hope that they can get lucky, too.
So unfortunately, most people never find the success they’re hoping and praying for.
ON THE OTHER HAND…other people realize that…
If you could plant a seed for an apple tree, would you expect it to sprout apples the first day?
Of course not, right?
You know that the seed has to sprout, the tree has to grow, and then the tree bears some fruit.
Your business is just like an apple tree. You have to plant the seeds of promotion, allow them to sprout, allow the tree to grow, and then you can harvest the tree for fruit (your profits).
So, let’s start by planting some seeds…
Now, does this mean that you should start emailing your brother, your sister, your high school teacher, your best friend and your grandma?
Heck no!
Anyone who tells you to do that is really leading you down the wrong path. If you start pestering people who aren’t interesting in building a business you’ll soon end up in the NFL club: “No Friends Left!”
Instead…promote to people that already know the meaning of residual income, people that are already involved.
And remember that it takes skills and it takes PATIENCE.
Wishing and praying that things will happen without any action on your part will not take you anywhere.
Building a business takes work, it even says it in the name: NetWORK Marketing.
Whoever tells you otherwise is lying to you.
Instant gratification needs to be out of your vocabulary if you really want to own your life!

The seeds and the seasons
Jim Rohn has a great lesson based on the seasons, the seeds, planting and harvesting. I hope you have the opportunity to listen to it sometime Daniela, sounds like you already have!
I was just thinking....
I was just thinking today of some of the ways I contacted people in the past and what I said to them. Now, it seems so odd that I actually did that. And why did I? Because, I was told to by my upline. Now maybe some of those people are great at that way of working your business and comfortable with it. For me I do not want to pester others with my great product.
You are right, it will take time, but I am willing to plant those seeds and wait for the fruit to produce.
Thanks Daniela for you great article!
Your friend,
Lynn
