The Chinese Bamboo Tree

Whats happening my friends, today i want to talk about the importance of patients and humbling yourself. Are you setting goals but not accomplishing them? Are you working on a business that hasn't really produced the results you want as quickly as you thought it would?

We all been there before. Recruiting that one prospect that you think will be your superstar and they don't turn out to be. Prospecting leads that you think will join your business and they don't. It is tough to go through, believe me i know. But you have to start from somewhere, you have to keep dreaming, keep thinking positive, keep believing and working hard.

You see in network marketing you may hear some stories of people who made millions in their first two years or first few months being in the business. A lot of people get caught up in how quickly someone achieved their success and ask themselves why that's not happening with them. You may hear someones story but you don't know what their story was prior to joining the business, you don't know the work or dues they paid in life prior to starting their business.

Some people are just good with people, they have that spark and gift to attract winners. That's good, but let me ask you something, if it took you 5 years to achieve success where you never had to work again would it be worth it? If it took you 10 years would it be worth? That's a question you have to ask yourself.

Are you willing to pay the price for success? Because the stories you hear of people become millionaires in first few months or years in business, they'll tell you it wasn't easy. They lost some sleep, made some sacrifices and did what they had to do accomplish their goals and become a winner.

The Chinese Bamboo Tree, this is a tree that believe or not takes 5 years to grow. In that 5th year the tree can grow up to 80ft. Now did that tree grow in the 5th year or was growing over those 5years? It grew over those 5years, it grew roots, it was doing its growing underground all those years. Building the foundation for it to stand 80ft in the air.

That's how you sometimes have to look at your business. Those first few years it's going to be tough, you're going to struggle, your're going to be frustrated ready to quit, but you have to keep putting in the work. Building that foundation for your business to stand tall. Before you know you'll have a few people a month joining, 10, 20, 30 people joining by the week. Before you know your business took off in the 5th year.

Did it just suddenly take off in 5th year or was it from all that watering, building and working that finally it was ready to take off? What about that person who actually is growing one of these trees, the people who probably laughs at them for watering dirt for 5yrs.

You're going to have some naysayers, some negative people who say you still doing that thing, you still trying to do that business. You have to keep pushing, keep working, feeding your mind positive thoughts, then one day, just when you're ready to call it quits and lay down your watering can...In the fifth year...In the fifth year...You're business grows 80 feet tall.

Keep watering your business with positivity, feed your mind positive food, keep working hard. And one day your business will start growing so fast it will be unbelievable and you will see the results you are wanting.
