Sooner or later, I can guarantee there will come a day when
getting out of bed and facing another day of Prospect
calling, talking and checking downline, you decide the
results aren't shaping up fast enough, or soon enough, and
the only thing you can think of is QUIT NOW!
Since by now you know what happens to quitters. The go to
the old MLMer home and face the reprobate Triple Triple
Triple Supremem Director Upline Diamond Crown head person
where they make You must sit and listen for eternity how to
prospect and do belly-to-belly prospecting and listen to
BUSINESS BRIEFINGS until they come out of your ears.
HAHAHAHA not really but you know what I mean on how it
makes you feel.
I'll focus instead on what to do to help you hang in there
and be brave, be bold, and be Brilliant. Here are steps to
make sure your decision is easier and that you will make
the right one for you.
1. Write down what's going on. Your journal could be the
greatest asset you own, if you make time to empty your
brain (of course, this is easier for some of us, myself
included) of all those frustrated thoughts that are
nagging, beating, bouncing and kicking around in there.
There is nothing worse 'brain freeze'; the condition where
your thoughts become so intense that they lock up your
ability to think rationally or even to think at all, i.e.,
where are my glasses and where did I leave my car and those
car keys. Again, take a look at the list of questions
that are at the end of this article and answer them for
yourself, first in your mind and then in writing.
2. Take a break. Take a weekend or a week off from your
business or project to think about what you're doing. Often
just some absence from the work, especially if you've been
chipping away at it every day for a long time, is
enlightening. You can gain just enough perspective to
evaluate what's truly going on. You might even want to take
time to ask yourself the questions at the end of this
article. Then, instead of acting rashly, you can act
rationally.
3. Get support. Go to MLM anonymous and get your help.
Just like an AA member contemplating going to take that
next drink, you need to call your sponsor, upline, mentor
or coach, pastor, rabbi, etc, etc, and get help. This is
precisely why you lined them up in the first place—so
when the chips are down, they can talk you on to the next
level you need to climb to and move along. If you feel
embarrassed about appearing in front of them in this state
of “FALLING APART”, remember that you would
want your organization to come to you if they needed help
this badly so please get HELP.
4. List the pros and cons of staying or quitting. If none
of the above work, sit down with a piece of paper and
evaluate the pros and cons of quitting your endeavor. Be
brutally honest with yourself, and do this with your
sponsor, upline, mentor or coach, pastor, rabbi, etc, etc,
to help you be honest with yourself .Don't leave a single
pro or con. Then walk away from your list. The give
yourself 48 to 96 hours before you go back over this list
again. Remember it is always the darkest just before the
dawn.
5. Then if all the above has failed to settle the question,
take a spiritual retreat. In the spirit of all the great
religious seekers who ever wandered a desert, take a day,
weekend, week or even more time if you can to tune in,
spiritually. Remember if the spirit is not settled the
mind will wander also. This could be a friend's weekend
house by the beach (if you go, make sure you've got some
time to get away by yourself a nearby nature sanctuary or
state park that permits camping or even a monastery or
spiritual sanctuary or that special place you have to get
away from it all including the spouse and family.. By
removing yourself from all hustle, bustle and noise of
everyday life and going into that special quiet place, you
can really make the deep, soul searching, life-altering
decisions such times demand. I urge you to choose a place
that is not only nurturing and soothing to your spirit, but
one that allows you plenty of space, time and quiet to sort
out your thoughts, feelings, and the main thing that place
between your ears. Try This . . .
Seventeen Important Questions to Ask Yourself When You Feel
Like Quitting

14. How will I feel if I miss this goal and others?
15. How will achieving my goal help other people?
16. Am I helping or hurting others by quitting?

I must be secure in this as it will change the direction of
my life and those around me. Just a pebble is dropped into
a lake even a small one the ripples are felt all across the
lake. Remember, you coach and mentor is there for you and
please do not wait until things get so bad the only thing
you see is quitting. Remember a short leave of absence may
just turn things around. So keep your chin up and move
forward know that you are not alone and we all have been
there.
Have a great time. Find a good mentor that will mentor and
help anyone in the Network Marketing business and help you
grow into a 22nd century Marketer.
