Did you learn how to walk?

Sometimes when we don't get it right, we think, "Oh, I'm not good at this." "I wasn't cut out for this." "This isn't for me." We're tempted not to try again. It's too hard.

Have you ever watched a parent encourage a child to walk? Have you ever watched a child learn to walk? The child rolls over onto all fours and scoots her butt up in the air and tries to balance and stand up. Oops! Over she topples.

She crawls over to the couch and uses the edge of the seat cushion to pull herself up. She teeters, then steadies. She tromps along and eventually can let go of the couch and balance on her own. Oops! Over she goes.

Have you ever heard a parent say "Well, I guess you're just not a walker. . . "

What if the child just gave up? She'd have to learn to live with not being able to move from here to there, to reach the thing she wants to pick up. She'd live a diminished life.

When you're learning network marketing, practicing is what makes you learn how to do it.

By practicing, I mean actually talking with people. If you're sitting in your living room thinking about how you're not sure what to do or who to talk to, that's not practicing. That's sitting on your butt wishing you knew how to walk.

Come up with a strategy that you think will interest a specific person and then try it. Learn from it. Talk to the next person. Learn from it. Talk to the next person. Learn.

You will get to the point of ease and enjoyment that you're sitting wishing you had now. But wishing doesn't make it so.

Practice makes it so.

Imagine what it would be like if you never learned to walk.

Imagine what it would be like if you practiced talking to enough people that they started to listen to you, intrigued.
