A Network Marketer's Faith

Network marketers have to have faith if success is desired in MLM or network marketing. God’s word tells me that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Heb. 11:1). It also tells me that without faith it is impossible to please Him (God) (Heb. 11:6), therefore I believe that faith has its beginning in our hearts then transmutes to our minds. Here is where our faith can be taken away or diminished by our thought patterns or it can be strengthened and enhanced through the same means.

Let me illustrate. By faith I believe Napoleon Hill is the author of "Think and Grow Rich." I have to go on faith due to the fact I have never met Mr. Hill to know if he truly existed. I only have one of his books. I also believe that I will be very successful in the network marketing business even though there is nothing concrete that reflects this truth thus far. I believe that my God is behind my actions because I live daily for Him. I also believe that He will not let me fail if I put my faith in Him as being the director of all my affairs. Many network marketers put their faith elsewhere and that's okay. If they can find success by other means, good for them.

Faith is very powerful and it will make or break a person. Putting our faith in wrong ideals or in endeavors that are displeasing to God will be utterly devastating. I choose to always have God in my decision making. If doors are opened then I will go through them, but if they become closed for some reason, I will back away and try another time.

I have put a lot of faith in the Traffic Exchanges and List Builders that I am using and thus far I am not overwhelmed with the response, except for one. I have also put a lot of faith in my fellow MFF partners and have not been disappointed. Faith and belief go hand and hand for me. I cannot have one without the other. Kind of like a horse and carriage. I am reminded of another scripture verse that says, And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Cor. 13:13). Please notice that faith is listed first among this trio!

My love for God is what will give me the faith I need to see my success come to fruition. This is all I need to see clearly the direction for my life. He tells me that if I seek I will find and if I knock the door will be opened unto me. I must do my part in order for Him to do His.

Desire and the Network Marketer

“Whatever the mind of man can Conceive and Believe it can Achieve.” [Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich] For me I attribute this accomplishment in my life to Almighty God who tells me I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13) and I have to say that I believe this with all my heart.

Have you ever craved anything? A crave is a long way from a wish or a hope. When I crave something I will do almost whatever is necessary to get it and that is the way I look at desire. If I desire to be wealthy, no matter if it is physical, material and especially spiritual, there is nothing that can stand in my way of acquiring those needs.

One thing for sure is that all of us are going to perish from this life sooner or later but my desire is to get all that I can out of this life before my number expires. I will be a winner before I perish from this lifetime but it will only come about by my desire to get while the getting is good. How about you? Yes, we only have one shot at this life and the Lord knows how many mistakes and wrong turns I have already made, but that doesn’t mean that my path cannot be straight from now on. How crooked has your path been? Do you want yours straightened out?

I do desire riches but not for myself. I like nice things just like most folks but I want riches so I can help others. I desire this because there are so many who strive to do good in this life but fail miserably. These are the ones I want to help and I want to be able to do it monetarily if possible. My desire is so strong that I will not give up until the task at hand becomes a reality for me. Do you have a strong desire to help others? There is nothing more rewarding than to be able to help those that are in need. If by chance I lose this desire, I might as well dig a hole, crawl in it and die because I will be no good to myself and certainly no good to anyone else. It is a MUST for me to keep this desire burning within my very being. There is too much at risk and at stake not to!

I do believe that I will receive this blessing from God but it will be in His timing not mine. When it happens I will gladly accept this gift and do with it what God leads me to do. This will not happen if I lose the desire, so my focus must remain in tact and I must never lose my purpose for being here in the first place: to serve my Maker and my fellow man. It truly doesn’t get any better than this!

What is your purpose? What is your desire? Is it selfless or selfish? Only you know the answer to those question.

Thinking Your Way to Success

First of all I want to say that it is truly possible to make a desire become a reality. I plan on doing exactly that with my company. There is not a thing that is going to stand in my way from making this come true for me and my family.

The way I see it is this, if others can do it and all they had to go on was desire, then they don’t have anything over me. Desire cannot be owned by anyone. It is a free gift for the taking and only those that have the “I won’t quit” attitude will succeed. I am going to be one of those individuals no matter how long it takes.

Patience is a virtue, so I will wait patiently and fulfill my desires. I can see how patience is going to play a huge part in my success. I will oppose all opposition and I will stand my ground no matter how long it takes. I can already see progress by following the system. If you have a proven system that has worked in the past, then it will work in the present and future if implemented in the same manner. I do not need to improve a system that is already working successfully!

I like the fact that if a person knows what he/she wants and has the determination to acquire it, it will happen. I am very acquainted with the devil. He is truly the culprit behind failure. He wants us to fail at everything that does not involve him. Temporary defeat is one of his greatest tools, but I do not let this defeat me because I already know the “rest of the story” and the devil is the one that is going to be defeated, not me! Quitting is not an option for me now, nor will it be in the future! I can already see how I am making a difference in other people’s lives with my very short tenure with MFF. It feels good to give assistance, but it is when this good feeling seizes to exist that most begin to feel the “giving up” syndrome setting in. If not careful, it will overtake them.

I have learned long ago that when people tell me “NO” they are not rejecting me, but rejecting whatever it is I am trying to tell them. That’s okay! By not being a quitter, I just pick myself up and head to the next person. There are a lot of “YES” people in this world and those are the ones I am going to desperately uncover.

I will have on my side persistence and I will back down to no one that tries to tell me what I am pursuing is not attainable. Persistence is a conqueror, not a defeater.

I just know that a thought that can be thought is worth holding onto if you know it will bring you success. I have many good thoughts and this is why I will be a victor and not a victim. I still believe that setbacks pave the way for comebacks and I am forever on a forward trek. How about you?

Network Bloggers Need Other Network Bloggers

I have been doing an enormous amount of blog searching this evening and I just realized how much I depend on the posts of others to further my knowledge of the internet.

I just want to take a few minutes to thank all of you out there on Blogger, Entrecard, Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace and so many others sites for volunteering so much valuable information for others to absorb. I know that many of you could charge dearly for your advice and information and people would pay you. Instead you are willfully giving it away for free.

About the only thing I have for free at the moment is an ebook and a whole lot of skill tools. I don't know exactly how much all this is worth but I do believe this library of knowledge in truly invaluable.

Because all of you are so generous with your knowledge, I would be honored to share what I have with you to further your ongoing success. This is just a very humble way to give back to such a wonderful industry and to such dear friends.

Again, THANK YOU so much for your willingness in sharing your knowledge which is helping me to own my own life.

Friends 4 Life!
