There Is No Gain Without Pain
Read More: Watching the Olympics for the past 12 days it always amazes me how disciplined the athletes must have been to reach that final goal...competing in the Olympic games. In my book, every single one of them deserves a medal just for making it to Beijing. It took tremendous effort, hard work, discipline, pain and sacrifice.
And then, there are the tears of joy, the satisfaction of accomplishment and the relief that it's over when they are standing on the podium to receive that precious medal, the one that it makes it all worthwile.
I can't help but draw a parallel to our industry, to network marketing. In a sense we are athletes as well. Working hard, making sacrifices. We fail and try again, and we push yet a little harder. And one day those of us for whom failure is not an option will stand too on that podium and receive our medal.
Our days of glory will come and we will stand in the bright light infront of many whom look up to us and say "I want to be just like her/him."

Hey Ilka,
I know the feeling. Imagine yourself standing in front of all your peers, holding the top earner award, and knowing that all of your hard work paid off.
The Olympics represent true commitment
Ilka,
Really good article. These athletes have amazing commitment for not just months prior to competition, but in a lot of cases, years. Something to be envious of!
