What does a salmon swimming upstream to spawn have in common with Socrates, the great Greek philosopher and network marketers?
They all have something or someone trying to hold them back from their greatest potential.
All three are going against a current that keeps trying to push them back.
The Salmon’s current is the water. Socrates’ current was that he had other ideas and beliefs than his colleagues. Network marketer’s current is going against the popular belief that everyone must have a J.O.B.
The Salmon, Socrates and network marketers all will push against this current and fight for their beliefs. The desire to succeed is powerful.
How can you combat the strength of this type of peer pressure?
The remedy is simple. Gather a group of like minded people to meet on a regular basis. A mastermind group if you will.
Meet with them often, no less than twice a week.
You need to have constant and consistent contact and communication with people who have the same type of ideas that you have. This is important. You may feel that you can “handle” the constant barrage on your path to success, but believe me, a support group sure makes it easier.
Why not create one of your own? Facebook and Twitter are just two ways to do this. The internet is a HUGE doorway to a support group just for you. With a little effort you can easily surround yourself with one.
Give it a try!

P.S. And you need to expand your network in order to grow your network marketing business anyway right? Remember, build people, people will build your business!
