Persistence is business fuel.

What it takes to succeed is persistence. All the things that you read or know about wouldn't be worth a dime if you didn't make them happen. This is especially true in internet business and working from home in general. To make money and/or changes in your life happen you have to Work and Persist in your work.

A statement that I read somewhere on the web and that remained in my mind ever since, proves just that. It said that 98% of the people who try to make money on the web (particularly in MLM and affiliate marketing) give up due to the lack of downline building skills, but 98% of those 2% that don't give up get rich and retire wealthy with very substantial residual incomes.

Keep in mind that the only difference between those that achieved great things in their lives and those that didn't, whether is was money, or career, or knowledge or mastering their niche, was that they did not give up. It takes time.

Knowing this, they persisted to to work for their dream. They sought the knowledge they needed to advertise effectively; how to get targeted leads; how to network within social groups to make solid, trustworthy contacts, and finally how to make everyone involved profit.

Think of your business as a Ferrari and persistence as the fuel for it.

I know I covered a lot of ground here. I'll delve deeper into it this week.

I'd like to know what you think. Please leave me a comment. : )
