How to climb the MLM Mountain



Read More: Personal Development  |  Positive Thinking

I was on another social networking site recently and thought it would be a good idea to change the theme of my page.  As I searched through the many different themes one in particular caught my eye.

Hopefully I can paint the picture for you.  On the horizon as the sun is setting is the silhouette of five mountains in the distance and they are spaced out a fair distance from one another.  I say five but there could be more or less as the photography is such that it is hard to ascertain.  And for me this is the crux of the point I am making.  Within this industry you will face mountains, people are not what they appear to be and don't always do what you expect them to do nor say what you expect them to say.  This is an unfortunate byproduct of the MLM business.

When you started out what you perceived to be an outsatnding opportunity has turned into a nightmare.  And the energy, momentum and general europhia felt has descended into lethargy.  My friend the first person to forgive is yourself because it's not your fault that you believed in something that was not there in the first place.

The journey that I have taken to reach the position I am now in within the MLM industry is one that I would not change as it has shown me the character, intergrity and leadership that is required to succeed.

The pioneers today

We climb those mountains, we slip, fall, get cold feet, complain about the weather.  We keep our focus on the summit and move forward.  Quitting has never been an option for the pioneer.

So True

It's a shame that people join this business in hopes of obtaining freedom and the only thing they get from it is lies. It's a good thing that there are people out there who are willing to help and show other people the proper way of doing things. 

Your friend, Alfonzo.

Freedom

Freedom is all in the eye of the beholder. There are diferent levels of freedom for all people. Freedom is like mountians some mountians are bigger just as some freedom levels are bigger than others. If you want to succeed you must climb the mountians one at a time to acheive a diferent level of freedom in your life.

Freedom

Freedom always comes as a result of great fortitude and persistance. It is not something that comes lightly and there is no success with out work.

Here, Here, Carl

Here, here Carl, these mountains are a beauty to look at until you have to climb them, and boy have I climbed some for this year.  The thing is I am thankful for those around me, my family and friends who have supported me, I am thankful for those I have met who are educating me, so the mountains now are not so tall.

Teamwork, helping others, guidance is the order of the day,

Great post Carl
