In my weekly Tuesday Tips newsletter I went and shared some terrific inspirational quotes with my readers. There were also a few funny ones mixed in.

There’s so much to be learned from others even by reading a simple, single sentence quote. Speaking for myself, sometimes a just quote can provide an Ah-HA moment or provide the inspiration to continue forward during difficult times.

Here are a few I wanted to share with you for now and I’m hoping you’ll take a moment to leave a comment and share your own favorite quotes with my readers.

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right.”

“Success comes in a can, failure comes in a can’t.”

“If you love what you do you’ll never work another day in your life.”

“It’s easy to get to the top after you get through the crowd at the bottom.”

“Everybody’s a self-made man; but only the successful ones are ever willing to admit it.”

“Success comes before work only in the dictionary.”

“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”

“When you were born you were crying and everybody around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you pass from this earth you’ll be smiling and everybody around you will be crying.”

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

Here are a few humorous quotes:

“The only trouble with trouble is it starts off as fun.”

“If at first you DO succeed try not to look too surprised.”

“Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.”

“Whoever said money cannot buy happiness simply does not know where to shop.”

“The road to success is always under construction.”

A phenomenal series

Have you seen the series “Life” on the Discovery Channel being narrated by Oprah Winfrey? It’s an absolutely fascinating series about the animal kingdom.

I was watching one of the episodes the other day with my son when Oprah had said something which really struck a chord with me. She made a comment that much of the animal kingdom is engaged in a daily struggle to maintain survival.

What really struck me is that what she said is also true for most of humanity. Much of the human race is engaged in a day to day struggle just to maintain survival too. Isn’t that so sad? The question I have is why?

Why would anybody settle for a life of struggle? Struggle is a conscious choice just as much as success is a choice.

What separates the animal kingdom form humanity is that human beings have the ability and the opportunity to improve their existence. The resources to do so are readily available and the only force strong enough to keep you from improving your existence is yourself.

People have the ability to make something which the animal kingdom cannot make. Most of the animal kingdom has no choice but to struggle for survival. But, when people make this certain thing they are thrusting themselves into a life of struggle by choice.

This “thing’ I speak of are excuses; “I’m too old.” “I don’t have the time to make things better for myself.” “I’m not smart enough.” You get the point.

One other interesting point to note; go ahead and tally all of the creatures which make up the entire animal kingdom. If you were to count every species of land animal, fish, bird and insect you’ll have a number deep into the millions. Whatever that number might be it is finite. The excuses that a person is capable of telling themselves, on the other hand, is infinite. There is no limit to the excuses people use to keep themselves mired in struggle.

So take a good look at your life. Is it a life of fulfillment or a life of struggle? If yours is a life of struggle, why? Wouldn’t you rather live a life of fulfillment? Because you can, the choice is entirely yours.

A big reason for this is that not enough people are familiar with the challenges of how to build a successful MLM organization. What, did you think success in network marketing was going to be easy? Is that what you were lead to believe? Home based network marketing success is possible, but no, it is not easy.

You’re best chance at building a successful home based MLM business is education. This article ought to provide you with some of the clarity needed to succeed in a network marketing business of your own.

There are 5 major questions that nearly all people in search of network marketing success need answered. Having the answers to these questions may just help you cross the line between MLM success and failure. So without further delay, let’s get right to it, shall we?

Q1) Can I actually make money in network marketing?

Yes, you absolutely can. There are plenty of people who are making terrific money in network marketing. However, there are a far greater number of people who are not. Just remember though, this is the case in all areas of life. For example, take a look at stock trading, real estate investing, acting or whatever. Aren’t there always far fewer people who are doing well in any group you look at? MLM is no different.

Network marketing is equal opportunity. Your race, sex, age, religion years of education or whatever make no difference in this industry. You have just as good a chance at network marketing success as the next guy. Whether or not you actually will succeed though is entirely up to you.

Q2) Isn’t network marketing just a type of pyramid?

Again, the answer to this question is yes. Just like any other business, the structure of a network marketing organization is reminiscent of a pyramid. Think of any business large or small. At the top of that business is the owner or director. Below him or her is the management team and below them are the rank and file workers; a classic pyramid structure.

The major difference is that in network marketing you have just as good a chance of working your way into the top of the organization as anybody else. A much better chance, in fact, than in any other type of business structure.

Q3) What is the secret to network marketing success?

The big secret of how to succeed in network marketing is that there are no secrets. How to succeed in anything is a process which requires an investment of time, energy and money. Success in network marketing will require you to develop good business and personal development skills. Just as you would need to develop good tennis skills if you ever wish to be a proficient tennis player you will need to develop the right skills if you wish to be a successful network marketing business owner. Success at anything in life will not just happen by chance.

Q4) Does network marketing involve selling?

Yes and don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You’ll often hear that all you have to do to succeed in network marketing is “share” your product with others. Nonsense! Success in any business at all – success in life period – involves selling to some degree.

Q5) Why do so many people fail in network marketing?

Because growing a successful network marketing business is not easy. The challenges of getting your business to a point to where it does become easy, to where it does generate passive income, are many. And unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of those who start an MLM business will quit when the going becomes difficult.

Do you want to succeed in network marketing? Then don’t quit; never, ever give up.

These are universal truths to network marketing success. The answers to these 5 questions apply to every last network marketing opportunity on the planet.

However, there is one last truth that, without it, will make everything you’ve just read useless. This single truth is so powerful and so important that it can make or break your network marketing business success right from the get-go.

I’m in the process of gathering notes for a new book I’ll be writing this year. One of the topics to be covered in the book is the importance of focus. And man oh man I can tell you how important it is for you stay focused on what you want.

Consider this – whether you realize it or not, you are getting bombarded with thousands of advertising and marketing messages every single day. Not to mention all the other things vying for your attention; the kids, the spouse, the boss, the clients. It’s no wonder you, or anybody else for that matter, has trouble staying focused on important objectives.

However, you owe it to yourself – to your long term success – to learn how to stay focused. And believe me this is something I know all too well. Like all of my most important lessons, it’s something I had to learn the hard way.

When I made the decision to market my business on the internet I needed to learn everything from the ground up. What I quickly discovered is there are a ton of different ways a product or service could be marketed online.

For a few months I tried every marketing method I came across; I tried to do everything and wound up doing nothing. The moment things began to change was the day I decided I needed to focus on a single method until I got it right. Then, and only then, could I try other methods.

May I pass this same idea on to you?

Is your life going the way you want it to? Are you looking for more success but just seem to be stuck in a rut? If so I can tell you with absolute certainty that you’re suffering from the same affliction I had: lack of focus.

A greater level of success will never fall into the lap of the person who suffers from a lack of focus. Success demands that you keep your mind and actions trained on specific objectives.

Many successful entrepreneurs manage multiple successful businesses and projects at once. But, you can be sure that they built a single business at a time. Each business is built with care and focus then the next project is taken on.

Go ahead and ask a hundred different people how committed they are to their own success and there’s no doubt each one of them will tell you they’re completely committed to living a successful, more fulfilled life. After all, we all want the best life has to offer, do we not?

The answer of course is ABSOLUTELY!

How is it done? The glaring question is how do you become successful in life? If most everyone wants more out of life, why do so few actually get it?

The answer lies in a person’s ability to handle adversity. How to succeed in life is lost on those who are incapable of handling life’s challenges. Too many people are willing to cut and run at the first signs of difficulty. You’ve got to learn that things will ALWAYS get difficult from time to time. Cutting and running is no strategy for handing a challenge.

Your commitment to success will be frequently challenged. And it is the strength of your commitment which will determine whether you stand up to those challenges or run from them. To get through the challenges you must focus on your objectives. You must put all of your focus on where you are going to, not what you’re going through. You do that and I can promise you will get through it; do that and you’ll get through anything.

It’s been said that success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Meaning, success takes work – an awful lot of work. Don’t let this discourage you. The work required is always well worth it. When you can wake up in the morning and realize that you’ve become the success you’ve always wanted to become, I can guarantee the work required to get there will seem nothing more than just a distant memory.

Success is 10% inspiration. Meaning, no perspiration is required without getting inspired about something. All success starts with inspiration!

How to succeed in life does not have to be a painful experience. As long as your inspiration is strong enough there is nothing which can stand in your way.
