Network Marketing & Writing

By human default, we insist on looking for easier ways to achieve something. Psst: in this arena there are no shortcuts. Horrifying, I know! It's unbearably uncomfortable, makes one uneasy, and it's near impossible to believe.

I bet there's a fair amount of people thinking there's some trick to climbing to the top.  Listening to Phillip Pullman trying to get through my head what a writer has to go through to actually write and finish something. It's taken me years to adjust myself. There is an actual inner preparative period you must go through before it flows. What I realized is that my network marketing business is no different, the process is identical!  Pullman says it's habit that got his books completed, not talent.

 The mistake is many of us believe in monsters. These are things that stop us from say, writing a novel or refraining from quitting our online businesses.  These huge monsters seem to stand in front of us. So we start inventing;

 "There must me an easier way to do this." "Maybe I'm just not good at this." "Someone has the magic key and I'll start when I find it." and we read and listen to others endlessly searching for some magic easy pill and in the meantime never accomplish anything. 

The illusion is; we're running around trying to find what doesn't exist. As long as we give this illusion oxygen to breathe we remain frozen, inactive and ruined. And time is falling through the hourglass.

When you write you have no clue where you're headed. This need for going back to do surgery on a story is shockingly intimidating, even having to weave details together we didn't see before, but none of this happens unless we DO THE WORK; until we SIT and act and rise above the fear of it not working will it work. We have to ascend above the actual bad FEELING and take the monsters by their scrawny necks with strong hands.

Writing the ideas is one thing, going back a million times to revise is another, that takes work and reflection and an open clear mind. Look up the word 'diligence'. That might be the magic word. 

Just as building an audience, team and client base. Writers and network marketers alike have to deal with identical agonizing emotions and thoughts. If we only realized this in the beginning while ignoring easy street, we'd have accomplished galaxies more.
