Days passed by very quickly. For the past weeks, my days were all occupied with my network marketing business, IT trainings, and my outdoor activities. Last weekend, with a group of friends, we went for a night trekking in Malaysia – Pelepah Hill Waterfall. It was a good trip with lots of unforgettable memories. As one of my friend’s wife said (Ella), “we sweat, we enjoy, we cry”, as a group just to achieve the objective of the trip which was to climb the summit at night. For the record, we started climbing on Saturday at 8.00 pm and reached the summit at 12 midnight sharp! (Sunday) & we did it in a large group of 27 climbers!

Planning for any trip especially an outdoor event such as the above is easy; however, executing it needs passion and commitment. Sometimes, we tend to listen or follow our own ideas that we have forgotten that having several ideas can give us more options in our planning and execution. We can have more than two people giving ideas, forming an informal committee to plan; but we must appoint a leader to spearhead the group. We must know how to leverage each other by assigning tasks or duties. This will make our job more easier so that we can focus on other important ones.

Sometimes we feel that we can do everything by only listening to our own view rather than other people. If we want to be successful, we have to fore-go our personal feelings and ego. We have to learn how to trust people and leverage their skills and specialities.

During the Second World War, many American soldiers dated Englishwomen in England. Quite often, both sexes accused each other of sexual aggression. What caused this? The answer lies in confused cues.

Anthropologists say that a courtship procedure consists of 30 steps beginning with first eye contact on through the consummation of the relationship. However, not every culture has these steps in the same place. In the US, kissing is about step 5. It is a friendly way to get things going on. In England however, kissing is about step 25 – it was considered highly serious affair. Now imagine what would happen when an American GI kisses an Englishwomen after a date. She will be shocked. She thinks, “This isn’t supposed to happen until step 25.” So she has to make up her mind, either call off the relationship; because it has become too serious, or get ready for consummation since it is only a few steps away. From the man’s point of view, things also appear confusing. She seems to behave like a women in hysteria or a nymphomaniac.

Have you been blindly following your own rules? Have you considered the other person’s view?

As a business owner, opportunity is something that I always treasured. However, the experience that I went through for the past 4 years as a full-time network marketer, has taught me to be more “choosy”, more realistic, value for money and ‘doable’. I strongly believed that apart from self-motivation which you must have (no question about it), passion and patience must also go hand-in-hand in realizing the dreams to be successful.

You must love what you are doing. The richest man in India in one of his addresses to his employees said that they should never ever loved the company or the bosses, but to always love what they are doing (job). The reason was many people stay in a company because of their passion and love with their work.

Family support is also one of the important factors. They must know what you are doing. Sharing what you have been doing in a day’s work frequently would makes the family ties more closer. If no one appreciate what you’ve done, at least your family appreciates you. Grow with them. They are best supporting partners when you are feeling down, especially your life partner – wife, or any one that have touch your life.

Apart from being a network marketer, I’m also an IT Trainer and an outdoor enthusiast. I applied what I’ve learned in Network Marketing to the non-industry too; and it works! As an IT Trainer, I treated it as a business rather than just another type of professions. I have to give my best services – products – to my client (even you only have one)! You have to keep improving and upgrade your knowledge as to how to need to keep the phase of the network marketing industry. At the end of the day, it’s all up to you whether you see it as a business or just another day of fulfilling your desires.

After going through the journey, I see that most successful business owners (especially network marketers), shared the same characteristics as though they are fighting to win a war or to survive. Their codename which they instilled in their heart and soul is not to easily give up what you love to do – “No Retreat, No Surrender”. These group of people are so optimistic, so positive and full of hope in their lives. Although they all encountered some difficult situations managing their business, none of them feel frustrated. In fact, they are able to overcome many difficulties better than anyone else. Treat all that comes into your business journey as how you handle your life’s journey. It’s all about surviving and giving. Give whatever you have, except DO NOT GIVE UP!

The most important factor is your faith! Believing in your faith or the religion of your choice is the key factor to achieve success! Personally, this is the ’secret’ that have keep me going on and built stronger ties with whatever I do. The more you practiced it, the more confident, calm and patient you will be. This is the Force of the Universe! It’s the Law of Attraction! The method of getting what you want in life; the ways of achieving success. You are not a creator, you’re a planner of your own destiny.

Network marketing is a business that helping others to fulfil their dreams and change lives. This is merely not just a statement to make people feel good, but it’s a reality. It’s also true that doing the business is not easy as what the guru said and claimed. But, if you really focus and take actions, you will succeed in the industry. It’s a matter of how long you need to make it happen; and the network marketing system that you are executing in managing your personal business franchise.

Just remember, “No Retreat, No Surrender”. Don’t give up easily! You planned your own destiny and you are responsible to change your life.

Talk to you soon,
