There are three kinds of people in the world – those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what the heck has just happened!


Most of the time, people who want to achieve freedom badly enough will fall into the first category of ‘happening’ people.


Freedom can come in many forms – time freedom, financial freedom or the freedom to spend time with your friends, relatives, church members and other community services.  But there is one very important thing about freedom…


Freedom isn’t free!  You have to fight for it.  The American colonists fought for their independence in a bloody war just because they wanted to be free.  But in network marketing, we are fighting a very different kind of war…it is a war of freedom.


The American economy hasn’t been stable as of late.  If you do not fight hard for your cash, you will wind up being swept away by the tide.  After all, getting more money isn’t an easy affair anymore. Investors are starting to save money.  Customers are no longer willing to spend.  Banks are tightening their credit and rising oil prices are making lives harder and harder for people.

When you consider time freedom, you must also remember that this is the 21st century.  We have microwaves, cable ‘on-demand’ TV, faster downloads, more convenient transport and instant email. However, our lives are not getting easier.  People are expecting more and more.  Working hours are no longer 9-5 as employees work late into the night for the same pay.  For the first time since the history of the industrial revolution, people are actually working more and more for the same or less pay.


Lastly, when you consider the stress of the world and the strain it takes on relationships, you must fight for your loved ones more and more!  Being buried in the office isn’t a productive way to live your life.  After all, no one lies on their deathbed wondering if they should have spent more time in the office.


When you consider all the facts above, one striking fact remains… Are you working hard enough in your network marketing business? Are you giving your very best for your downlines?  Are you working hard to be a good ambassador of your great business opportunity?  At the end of the day, are you working hard enough to attain your freedom?  Only you can answer this question – how badly do you want your freedom?
