Going to get right to it today!

I have figured that there are 3 types of people that are living in our industry of home business, internet marketing etc.

There are people that are "sinking", some are "treading", and some are "swimming".

(As you may have guessed I love water!  Born and raised around water!)

Back to my point,

There are people in our industry who are "sinking" in their business, have NO money,  No leads, no team members, and are complaining and whining about everything.  

Everyone and everything is going against them and there's no way to get out of the financial mess they have put themselves in!  Yes, I said PUT THEMSELVES IN!

There are also "treaders".

They're not sinking in their business, they're not quite broke (yet),  may still have a job but may not like it.  Are commuting to a job to spend more time with their co-workers and less time with their families.  They want to do something different (join an MLM or another home business) but just can't pull the trigger to actually take some action to better their lives.

And finally there are the "swimmers".  Those that are forced to do something to survive!  Now these people may have once been "sinkers" or "treaders" but made a decision to "swim"!

Isn't swimming so much more fun than "sinking" or "treading the waters"?

I am also reminded of the movie "Finding Nemo"  My son's favorite!  We watch this movie EVERY night before he goes to bed.  (At least 30 minutes of it)

Dori, the blue fish, reminds Marlin (the father of Nemo who is missing) that he has to just keep swimming in order to find his son.

At 32 minutes into the movie and at 103 minutes into the movie,

 Dori says: (As she sings)   "When life gets you down, you gotta just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, just keep swimming."   <--my son's favorite part in the movie

Great advice, don't you think?

Now I know you may be a "sinker" or a "treader", maybe even a "swimmer" and do great in your business.

But life isn't always going to go the way you want it to go.

I'll be honest, I have some tough times in my business but I always remember Dori.  My son also reminds me because everytime that part in the movie comes up, he dances and puts his hands in the air and twirls around.  (No he's not a ballet dancer!  LOL)

I can also ask him "what do you do when lives gets you down?", and he'll do his little dance!  I'll make sure I get this on video and post it back here at BetterNetworker.  He's got more YouTube views than I do.

Its that simple advice that I take to heart when I don't have the lead generation that I want for that day, or a customer changes their mind and decides not to come on board with our team.

It's great advice, "Just keep swimming!"

Keep going, never quit and stay focused! This is a saying that I will pass on to you too.

You are in the right community here at BetterNetworker.  You are surrounded by the people who can help you.  Just keep going in your business, NEVER look back, and Just keep swimming!

Thankful to serve you all,
