I am still a fan... even after a big loss. How about you?

Hi Team,
 
I have to confess.... yes.... I am still a Dallas Cowboys football fan.
 
Why am I telling you this?
 
Well... last weekend they played very poorly and lost their chance of going to the Super Bowl.
 
So again... Why am I telling you this?
 
Because many people will deny being a fan of a Team in this situation. And some will actually turn against a Team in that situation. Like wise... many network marketers act in a similar manor. They get turned down by one or two people or hear something negative about their industry, company, product (even if it is not true) and they start hiding their Rep status. And in some cases, even quit their current company or the network marketing industry.
 
Here's the deal... no one has a 100% closing rate. So you are going to have people say no to your offer to be a partner with you. No company, compensation plan, product or service is perfect. And no matter how great a company is, there is always the chance that a fellow Rep will do something or say something they should not. And their actions could reflect on the company as a whole. Plus no matter what industry you choose as a career, there will always be people who bad mouth your choice.
 
So... just like I am still a Dallas Cowboys fan at a time where some perceive this as a negative thing, if you get tempted to give up on your dream because someone told you no, or someone else said something bad about your company or the network marketing industry, don't do it. Yes there are reasons to quit a company or this industry. But a few rejections or negative comments are not on that list.
 
Stick with your dreams, goals and daily action plans to make them a reality. Wear your Team colors whether your company is #1 in the industry or not. Be proud of your industry, company and partners. Stay excited and don't stop sharing that excitement with everyone you know.
