Well...at least it certainly appears that way for a lot of people.

Of course, I know it isn't hard. But..I'm surprised at how difficult people make it on themselves when it comes to making money...period.

I've done this for almost two decades, and while it wasn't always easy for me...there WAS a time when I wasn't doing so well.

Making money is EASY. I realized it a long time ago. Yet, so many many people have such a hard time figuring out a way to have money come to them easily.

Here's how you make money in MLM or Direct Sales, at least the way I see it.

First of all, there are MORE than plenty of legitimate opportunities (companies) to choose from in the marketplace. So...finding an opportunity is easy. Money is everywhere. Opportunity is everywhere. Your bright future is literally in the palm of your hand.

1. Pick a damn company and ride it! Don't keep looking around, over your shoulder, at other deals. Once you have found a company...SEIZE the opportunity. WAY too many people look around continuously to see if the grass is greener someplace else. If you ain't makin' money in your deal and other people are, the problem isn't the company, the problem is what YOU are doing or NOT doing in that company.

That brings me to number two...

2. Focus your rear end off on honing your skills. You wouldn't go into cage fight, going up against the Champion of the World, unless you had some skills. Go get some skills, wherever. I don't care. If you like my training, great. If not, fine. But...get yourself in front of people who KNOW HOW to PRODUCE, and learn from them. Model them.

3. My God! Please be consistent. You don't get rich in this biz by dilly-dallying around. Do SOMETHING every single day to propel your business forward. That action will keep you fresh, in the game and learning every day. Heck, even after coming back from a two week vacation and doing nothing but have fun, I wasn't as smooth as I was before I left. A few days later, because I was IN ACTION, I was back on my game again.

4. Don't be stupid and quit. Even if you absolutely suck at prospecting and you're putting yourself, your product and your opportunity out there, you are bound to luck out and find someone way better than you. Also, please PLEASE realize that success is a journey that takes PATIENCE. I didn't get rich overnight. This ain't the lottery. It will take you longer than you probably think it will. Hang in there.

5. Be grateful. Have an attitude of gratitude REGARDLESS of where you are today. Who cares if your check is $4.67 today. You're alive, aren't you? You have friend, right? Food on the table I hope? There are many blessings that we all have regardless of how good or bad our life is financially, spiritually or any other way, even if life really stinks right now.

You can DO this. It takes HARD work and DEDICATION. But trust me. I went from a broke 22-year old stoner to multi-millionaire with total life freedom. I don't say that to boast at all. Just to say that if "Dead Head surfer with broke parents" could do it, why not you? Why not you? Why not you?

Another thought from my day.

See ya!
