We All Have 2 Choices in Life

Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less.

There are three kinds of network marketers.

The first kind of network marketers – those who are on the field of play, making things happen – represent the smallest percentage of network marketers.

The primary difference between this first group and the other two groups are that this first group – those who make things happen – routinely make good and productive choices. Once they make a choice, then it's full steam ahead.
