How Hard Do I Have To Work? by David Ledoux

Has anyone ever asked you, 'How hard do I have to work?' when it came to being successful in network marketing?

I hear it a lot. I talk to a lot of people. It kind of seems like a strange question, doesn't it?

I once tried to figure it out. You know, do the math behind it. It wasn't easy.

I first figured out how hard someone would have to work if they had a job their whole life. I had them start at age 25, because many people screw around at college or backpack across Europe, or bounce around from lousy job to lousy job and party for a few years. So I planned for 7 years after high school to enjoy the last remnants of youth before they were crushed by the work-a-day world.

Age 25. Welcome to your desk. You'll sit here from 9 am to 5 pm every day from Monday to Friday. You'll take a 10 minute break everyday at 10:15, and again at 3:00. Your lunch break is scheduled from 12:15 to 12:50 everyday. Every second Friday you'll get an envelope with $1750 a week. Only 40 years to go....

A working drone giving 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year with two weeks off per year for good behavior, for 40 years of his or her life will ultimately give their employer 80,000 HOURS!

80,000 hours of your life. Even at $15 bucks an hour you'll make $1.2 million. At $50 grand a year, that's $2 million in lifetime earnings....

Then why are 95% of seniors unable to write a check for $500 bucks in their 'golden years'?

There are only 3 answers to the question 'How hard do I have to work to be successful in MLM?'.

I'll try.

I'll do my best.

I'll do whatever it takes.

Answers 1 and 2 mean failure, 100% failure in not just MLM, but in life.

Try all you want. Life and MLM are both too hard to just try.

What about trying your best?

Your best isn't good enough! You aren't born with what it takes to build a huge consumer network filled with people who believe in something.

Your best isn't good enough. You must get better.

You must be willing to do what ever it takes.

You must work harder on yourself, than any other aspect of this business.

What is the alternative?

Give 80,000 of the best hours of your life to an employer. That program has a 95% failure rate.

Do whatever it takes.

Until next time,
