When you give your everything, anything can happen

During the 2012 London Olympic Games, over 10,000 athletes gathered in London to test their stamina and skills with other contestants. Every four years, these Olympians teach the world many lessons—we see tears of joy for winning gold, and singing national anthems with pride, and tears of sadness for touching the finish line micro seconds behind the gold medalist.

Michael Phelps, an American swimmer, won 16 Olympic medals: six of them gold, and two bronze in Athens in 2004 and eight gold medals in Beijing in 2008. I was reading an interesting article as to what made him different from other swimmers and how he managed to capture so many gold medals. 

I was surprised to read that Phelps learned a trick or two from other underwater inhabitants, like dolphin, and used backstroke dolphin kick to make the big difference.

Lesson #1:
 
Learn to do things which make the difference in your life and business. Another sport I always admired is TRIATHLON where competitors have to develop skills in 3 disciplines — swimming, cycling and running, a combination which takes longer to master. Likewise if you want to be successful in NETWORK MARKETING, you have to be Triathlete and master the 3 disciplines— prospecting, team building, and leadership.

Here I would like to mention one of the greatest Olympic triathlon from Canada, Simon Whitfield. Whitfield competed in every Olympic triathlon since its games debut in 2000, where he stunned the world with his gold medal in Sydney Olympics.
At age 11, he started training himself to become triathlete and as of 2008, 1:48:24.02 stands as the fastest Olympic triathlon record. At age 37, Simon qualified for the 2012 London Olympics in Triathlon. If there is one thing Simon has proven over his athletic career, it’s that when you give your everything, anything can happen.

Lesson #2:

 
Raise your own bar to get better. Are you giving your everything to achieve the success you are looking for?

Network marketing is a unique opportunity, which can secure one’s financial future. The most amazing thing about network marketing is that it can be practiced by all. It does not discriminate between color, age, education or experience—this is why it is called “free enterprise”, a business of equal opportunity. Network marketing provides people with endless opportunities and possibilities.

Network marketing business model is simple and doable by anyone who is ready to change and willing to work hard to grow the business. It makes an ordinary person extraordinary. One can select one’s own business partners, and own time and place to do the business. The business provides you joy, adventure, and complete satisfaction.
