Dan Kennedy wrote in a recent article, “‘Sticktoitiveness’ is a strength of character, a philosophical position, a consciously valued and directed behavior, a habit…. winners stick to things, losers give up easily, flit about randomly. Losers waste all the years of their lives looking for the unicorn of modern fantasy, the easy button. Winners find winning strategies and stick to applying them.”

Those of us who are involved with network (or netweb) marketing have found it to be rewarding and challenging. So many companies work to convince us that it is “easy.” You just make a list of friends and family, offer them the great business opportunity, and they will “jump” at the chance to join you in this lucrative endeavor.

I know that when I first became involved, I was surprised by the skepticism and cynicism expressed by those I approached - especially my family members. They almost showed anger and disgust that I would be “duped.” It was not easy to stay the course and disregard the warnings.

As Kennedy continues, “Successful pursuit and achievement of exceptional objectives usually involves two key elements: sticking to a course of study, acquisition of information, learning relevant methodology even if, at first, uncomfortable, foreign or difficult; sticking to self-imposed requirements for implementation of what is learned.”

The great news is that my “sticktoitiveness” is beginning to pay off - in a plethora of ways. So, I leave you with the advice to make a difference in your life and the life of others by sticking with it!

Even though I am busy and work on controlling the amount of e-mail messages I read, I receive and read three messages daily from the outstanding marketing guru Dan Kennedy. His “Success Marketing Strategy” is filled with useful words of wisdom and always makes me think.

Let me share some of today’s message. Kennedy was extolling the virtue of what he observed when visiting Disney.

Big Idea: what is the ‘culture’ you are deliberately striving to – and investing in – creating? What attitudinal and behavioral changes you strategically work at inspiring?”

What a mistake so many make! I hear people complaining all of the time. They don’t seem to realize that they have made the choices that are defining their lives and situations. When we are grateful for what we do have - and not just materially - we do attract more to be grateful about.

Yes, I know that my life isn’t always perfect, but it is so wonderful to have the challenges and obstacles that make me strong and create triumphs every day.

I suggest that you follow these three steps when you get up in the morning:

1. Make a grateful list - expand it every day.
2. Turn on the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NeMC1Fl3J0 
3. Do the Gratitude Dance

Be sure to have fun and share this with many others!

Cynthia Kersey wrote in her book, Unstoppable Women, “Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe in you.”

Two different factors that contributed to today’s blog topic. First, I ordered and read Seth Godin’s, The Dip - A Little Book that Tells You When to Quit (and When to Stick) . Secondly I was listening to a CD of a presentation by a successful Network Marketer and he stressed staying the course.

We all know that it can be discouraging when we introduce our great opportunities to prospective clients and are baraged by rejection. If we realize that this whole experience will help us grow and in the words of Ellie Drake, “We develop strong rejection muscles.”

Stay the course. It has been proved that persistance pays off!

The old saying is wrong—winners do quit, and quitters do win.

Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point—really hard, and not much fun at all.

And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you’re in a Dip—a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it’s really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

According to bestselling author Seth Godin, what really sets superstars apart from everyone else is the ability to escape dead ends quickly, while staying focused and motivated when it really counts.

Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt—until they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons. In fact, winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can become number one in your niche, you’ll get more than your fair share of profits, glory, and long-term security.

Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they fail to stick out the Dip—they get to the moment of truth and then give up—or they never even find the right Dip to conquer.

Whether you’re a graphic designer, a sales rep, an athlete, or an aspiring CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you’re in a Dip that’s worthy of your time, effort, and talents. If you are, The Dip will inspire you to hang tough. If not, it will help you find the courage to quit—so you can be number one at something else.

Seth Godin doesn’t claim to have all the answers. But he will teach you how to ask the right questions.
