Yes, it is important to work smart, but let me assure you there is no substitute for sweat.
Effort can take many forms in Network Marketing.
It can be late nights recruiting or long weekends at meetings or inspirational rallies.
Regardless of the form your effort takes, sooner or later if you develop a consistent work style or pattern, your efforts will be rewarded.
One of the unfortunate myths today is that you and I can get rich without a lot of time, hard work and patience.
Not so.
Oh yes, some people may appear to achieve greatness quickly, but I believe it is better to build your future on a solid foundation of effort than quick good fortune, whatever the cause or source.

Don't waste your time looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Just move one day at a time in the direction of your dreams, and, before you know it, you will be further down the path to success than you ever dreamed.
