Stop looking for a short cut!!! I wasted so much time doing this. Let me save you from doing the same thing.
Building a business takes time. Why? Because it’s about building relationships, not selling a “thing”.
You can’t jump on social media and start posting and spamming and telling people to buy your thing or join your deal. It won’t work.
Seth Godin did a kickstarter campaign and raised $40k in 180 seconds for a book launch. How did he do it so quickly? Not from urgently telling everyone he knew to go donate. No. That kickstarter campaign was a FINISH line, not a starting line. It was the culmination of 10 years of building relationships.
We’ve all heard a network marketing story where someone comes into the business and hits the top rank in 2 months. It’s not because of the comp plan. She didn’t have a magical script. She did it because she has a network and connections from the previous 5 years. She did the work ahead of time. Hitting the top rank in 2 months is the finish line, not the starting line.
Don’t compare your starting line to someone else’s finish line.
If you don’t have that network now, start building it.
⭐Connect with old, current, and new friends daily.
⭐Find out what’s going on in their lives.
⭐Look for ways to help them.
⭐Know you may not do business with this person for a year, 5 years, or ever.
⭐Remember people’s birthdays.
⭐Send handwritten cards.
Here’s the fastest way to build your business: Stop looking for a short cut. Do it right. Put in the time.
The long way IS the short cut. ~ Seth Godin
