Communicating is different than talking! Talking is when you’re spilling your guts on them about your great product and opportunity! Communicating is when you are taking an interest in THEM and they are responding to you.

Everyone Wants Success Fast — But That’s Not How Business Works

You’ve probably seen that Staples commercial with the EASY button right? Dang, don’t you wish you could find yours? I sure wish I could find mine! So many people I speak with say, “Sue, I want to be JUST like YOU!” I think wow what a compliment and yes anyone can do what I do. Thing is, everyone wants to do it in 30 days or less!!! They want to get rich over night AND do it with an EASY BUTTON! Sorry to have to put this to you but there just ain’t no EASY button in business or in life!

10 Years in Network Marketing: What Working the Hard Way Actually Looks Like

The Rejections, the No-Shows, and the Thousands of Calls That Built My Business

It would have been great if there had been an EASY button for all those times when I called and called and called people who were not home or answering their phone or calling me back! For all those times people said “No”, and hung up on me! For all those times I thought how come no one is signing up? I’ve called about a 100 people! Try calling in the 1000’s then cry on my shoulder! For all those times people said “Yes, I am going to do this”… and then quit! For all the thousands of dollars I’ve spent building my business! Dang, isn’t there a big pot of money somewhere under that EASY button that will jump start my business and capitalize it for the next five years?

For all those times people said I’m gonna make you rich and then fell off the face of the earth never to be heard from again! Maybe they found that EASY button somewhere huh? For all those times when something went wrong with a delivery, or the company messed something up, or my upline didn’t call me back or email me back for over three weeks! For all those times when I was new at this and could not figure something out! Pulling my hair out trying to figure how to market online and do the basic stuff and no one was there to help me and there was no EASY button so I had to figure it out myself and I did! Whew!

Balancing Family, Faith, and a Home Business With No Safety Net

Thank God He wants us to learn and grow and develop and go through hardship. The refining fire they call it! It’s how we become stronger and how we accomplish our dreams! Ohhh… sometimes it’s a big ouch!!! If we had an EASY button to do everything for us what kinda growth would we experience? Would we be able to hold on to success very long if we had not grown into our authority and/or leadership position? It’s worth understanding the success profile behind the hard work — because knowing what you’re growing into makes the journey a whole lot more purposeful. I am so determined and persistent that I persevered! For all those times my son was young and would come crying into my office right in the middle of a conference call or three way call! A man hung up on me one time when this happened! How dare him! For all those times I was trying to balance my business with God, my husband and my family and still am! No EASY button here. For all those times… well you get the picture!

Nothing Worth Having in Business or Life Comes Easy

Especially running a real business and running one from home. I can remember so many times I felt like throwing in the towel, this isn’t easy, it’s not working, no one is interested, no one is building, I’m a failure! My business isn’t growing! Give me an EASY button!!! But no matter what, I never gave up even though it hasn’t been easy!

Why God Doesn’t Give Us an Easy Button — And Why That’s a Good Thing

He wants us to learn and grow and develop and go through hardship. The refining fire they call it! It’s how we become stronger and how we accomplish our dreams! Ohhh… sometimes it’s a big ouch!!! If we had an EASY button to do everything for us what kinda growth would we experience? Would we be able to hold on to success very long if we had not GROWN into our authority and/or leadership position? It’s worth understanding the success profile behind the hard work — because knowing what you’re growing INTO makes the journey a whole lot more purposeful.

If everything was EASY and given to us how EASY could it be taken away?

Think about that as you ponder your goals for the New Year. Decide to GROW and STRENGTHEN yourself instead of just reaching for the EASY button every time you feel weak. Ask God for His help. HE wants you to prosper so that you can be a good Samaritan. You cannot be a good Samaritan if you’re broke! Every time you think you want that EASY button think about how much STRONGER you’ll be by NOT having one!

Think about how many people you’ll be able to help by becoming the BEST you can be! The stronger you become the better Samaritan you’ll become!

Decide to Be Successful No Matter How Long It Takes

No matter how hard it becomes! “I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENS me”! That’s the scripture that sustains me when things get tough, and trust me, I say it alot! Even though I’m a success and my business is profitable there’s still LOT’S of growing left to do! More goals to reach and more to learn and many more people to help! It’s NEVER EASY but it’s well worth it! “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
