Contentment: A Surefire Way to Fail at Internet Network Marketing

Published by admin on December 26, 2008 at 07:12 PM in Networking/MLM

Many people fail, or at least fall short of their potential, at internet network marketing because they become content. They decide they are making enough – whether that’s a few extra hundred dollars a month, or they have replaced their full time income. Today, I encourage you to experience some discontent in order to catapult your business to new heights.

“I hope I may never be guilty of writing anything intended to make poor people contented with their lot.

“I would rather be known as one who sought to inspire his readers with a divine discontent.

“To make men and women discontented with bad health, and to show them how, by hard work, they can have better health.

“To make them discontented with their intelligence, and to stimulate them to continued study.

“To urge them on to better jobs, better homes, more money in the bank.

“But it does no harm, in our striving after these worthwhile things, to pause once in a while and count our blessings.”

– Bruce Barton, 1920

Bruce Barton was a household name in the 1920s and 1930s. He was THE advertising man. In reading about his life and his work, I came across the above quote. Most of us entered into internet network marketing because were weren’t content with our lot. We didn’t want to work 40 hours a week for too little money. We wanted to have more money, more time, more life.

If you have reached a plateau in your business, I encourage you to take a look at your level of contentment. Do you still have the same fire and passion you had when you started your network marketing business on the internet? Or did you become content with your success at some point along the way. Maybe you decided you have gone as far as you can go, and that’s OK. That extra income each month is allowing you to have those extra in life. So, your internet network marketing business is pretty much on auto-pilot now. You don’t really have to do much active work anymore, and that’s fine with you.

Today, I encourage you to allow some divine discontent into your life. Count the blessings that your business has brought you, but realize there is still more. Use the thoughts above to fuel your passion.

If your network marketing business is connected with health care products, then show your potential customers how they can have better health, that they don’t need to be content with poor health.

If our network marketing business is connected with education, or reading, or self-improvement, they make your potential customers discontent with their intelligence and stimulate them to study.

If you are trying to build your downline rather than your customer base, urge your prospects on to better jobs, better homes, and more money in the bank.

Are you content with your lot, or do you feel there is something more to life than this?
