Ever play hopscotch when you were a kid?
Remember?
You had to go right down the board working your way up and down without stumbling?
You had to keep your feet in the box and not loose your balance.
And you couldn’t skip the process of tossing the stone into each and every box.
You couldn’t just throw the stone in the top box and skip all the others.
You had to go in ORDER.
It was fun.
We played practically every day in elementary school.
And even if you are a guy and hopscotch wasn’t your thing…
You know what I talking about…
We see stuff like this everywhere in life….
We all learned when we were little that you need to learn your ABC’s
BEFORE you can read and write…
That you need to read Green Eggs and Ham before you you read War and Peace
And that you need to learn to drive slow in the parking lot
BEFORE you can drive FAST on the highway.
So why is it that when we get into a home business we seem to think we can go
from 0 to 60 in 2 months or less?
And why do people think they can SKIP all the primary skills and SKIP
straight to Dah Dah Dah…SUPER RECRUITER…without paying their dues
grinding it out and learning the ropes.
You don’t go from Private to General in a week…
You don’t go from pauper to Prince in a day…
And you don’t go from newbie to six figure earner just cause you know how to
make a video or bought a course that shows you how to get 12,000 followers on Twitter!
That is just CRAZY.
It’s almost 2012 and I am calling for a time of reflection…
And I intend to be a VOICE OF REASON in the MLM Maddness.
I want you to know what is REALLY involved.
This dream of residual income is TRUE
I live it every day.
But I for one…
WILL NOT tell you that it is just a hop, skip and a jump.
It is work..and lots of it.
And on the other side of the work…
is FREEDOM.
Seems to me that everyone that I can think of that was going for
FREEDOM had to dig and crawl and sweat for it…
Maybe that is why FREEDOM is so damn sweet.
And maybe just maybe…
That is WHY is is SO WORTH going for.
Because there is NOTHING..and I mean NOTHING
like being FREE…
And it is worth every drop of effort you can muster just to
even have a SHOT at achieving it.
We are blessed to live in a time and place where it’s even possible
to access it.
I hope that in the next few months…
As we approach r
That you consider if you want to chase another “shortcut”
Or try another “system” that promises to get you rich…
or if you maybe want to toss your little stone into box ONE
And hop up and down the board…
And then toss it into box number TWO and repeat
On and on…until all of a sudden…a year from now…
YOU HAVE WON.
Think about it and let me know your thoughts.

Great post, Diane. I think you are right in saying that most people are the easy way (Magic Bullet) of doing things. For the ones that have been doing successfully, you all know that there is no such thing the easy way(only the smart way). Thanks Diane for this post.
