Tell Me You Are Not Using A Dull Axe To Build Your Business!

Imagine walking up to a man trying to chop down a tree in the forest. He is struggling with all his might and yet he has barely made any progress.

You look at him and you see that he is chopping at the tree vigorously and he has been at it for quite some time and he is intent on getting the tree to down.

He has a single focus and is using all the proper leverage and perfect technique, but as you get close, you see there is one thing out of place.

He is using a dull blade. You say to the man "Hey buddy why don't you just sharpen your blade, you'll get the job done twice as fast?" He replies "No time, can't you see I'm trying to chop down this tree?"

Well, when I first started network marketing I was this guy out in forest trying to chop down my tree of successfully building a down line

I hacked at it. I tried all the techniques I was told were proper and I was intent on using them with all my might until my goal was reached.

Unfortunately, the guy in our example above had one advantage over me.

He had someone actually come up to him and point out his problem.

The sad truth is if someone had done this for me, I probably would have given him or her same response that our man with the axe above gave. I would have said "Can't you see I'm trying to build a down line? I don't have time for that!"

While in the act and exerting all our energy to a task we give very little time to reflect on what may truly help us be more successful. We think that if we just keep hacking away that eventually we will be successful in achieving our end.

While this may hold true wouldn't a sharper blade make that struggle a whole lot easier?

I hear a question brewing "Glenn, you say a blade, but what does this equate to in network marketing?"

HOW YOUR MARKET YOUR BUSINESS

All I will say is this you cannot consistently recruit 30 people in a month with personal contact or with the phone, but when you learn to leverage the awesome power of the internet to your advantage you end up with a mighty sharp network marketing blade that can!
