Stop! Take Some Time to Think...

This song, Stop! by Against Me, has been running through my head a lot lately. The chorus, anyway. If you don't feel like clicking the link, the chorus is:

"Stop! Take some time to think. Figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think. Figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think. Figure out what's important to you.
Gotta make a serious decision."

So I've been doing a lot of thinking. And as hard as it is for me to admit, I'm one of the 97% of people who fail at network marketing.

There are 4 main reasons people fail at network marketing:

1. Lack of money.
2. Lack of the right kind of action.
3. Lack of prospects.
4. Underdeveloped skills.

I'm lacking all 4 right now. I've got no money to market with. I have no time to devote to my business. I don't know anyone who wants to join my business(es). I probably have many of the skills, but I don't have the time to apply them.

So I'm reassessing. Figuring out what is important to me. And right now my business(es) are coming up pretty low on the priority list. So rather than continue to delude myself that I will get to it, and then feeling guilty that I haven't done anything to build my business(es), I'm admitting defeat.

I may pick one or more of them up again sometime in the future. Because I still believe that Network Marketing has enormous potential. But you have to work at it, and right now I can't make that commitment.

Signing off,
