Success - A Predictor of Success Why do Many
People Fail While Others Succeed.
By: Nick A. James
The following was taken from a
conversation I had with a very successful
individual in the Network Marketing
business, and this also echoes my own
personal observations.
I have been involved in this business for a
number of years and I have seen people come
and go from literally all walks of life,
education levels, backgrounds, etc. I have
worked with medical doctors, engineers,
scientists and people who were only a step
above being illiterate.
And while certain skills are beneficial,
none are a predictor of success. But I can
tell you what is the biggest predictor of
success, and also in many cases a predictor
of failure. I am never 100 percent right -
if I was I would put everything I have in
the Stock Market, however one thing has
always stuck out with me. You see I did an
in depth analysis several years ago now
(consulting a number of successful people)
of what made some people successful and what
made others basically quit or fail.
And here is what I determined to be true in
almost all cases. And this in my observation
doesn't just apply to people in this
industry but successful people everywhere.
The people who were successful simply were
going to figure out a way to make their
business work.
They believed they were going to be
successful.
They weren't about to accept no as an
answer. No matter how many times they heard
"No" or failed they got back up
and kept on going. It didn't matter how much
they knew or how much experience they had
they simply weren't going to fail. Failure
was not an option, if one thing didn't work
they would try something else.
It really comes down to heart. Heart is what
kept Michael Jordon going after being cut
from his High School basketball team as a
sophomore. Heart is what kept Sylvester
Stallone going after being flat broke and
having his Rocky script rejected time and
time again. All great men and women have the
heart it takes to just try again one more
time.
Of course the big advantage I feel many
people today have is that they can rely on
our experience so they don't repeat our
mistakes. And there are many more tools
available today to help someone succeed than
ever before.
I believe the one main reason franchises are
so successful today is because of the large
investment involved. First the entry price
commitment of $50,000 to a half million
dollars or more weeds out all the tire
kickers and non-serious people. Second with
that kind of investment someone is not going
to give up easily.
There is no doubt in my mind that for the
right person a home business is so much more
superior to a franchise.
The investment is a mere peanuts compared to
a franchise and you aren't tied down to your
business such that you can't go on vacation.
If need be you can just take your business
with you to whatever hotel you are staying
in.
Plus for the same amount of work you can
easily earn more than a franchise - keep in
mind you are going to spend 80-100 hours per
week working your franchise business the
first year or so. And you may need two
stores to make a good living.
The point is anybody, no matter what their
background can succeed in the right home
business, provided they have the desire and
good mentors.
