We Are All An Underdog In Our Network Marketing Business At One Time Or Another
Did you see THE game yesterday?
OK, if you don’t live in the U.S. it might not be THE game, but yep, the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl yesterday.
Big time.
Well, since my team wasn’t in the game, I usually root for the underdog, and in this case the Saints.
In particular, I love real underdog stories on a personal level.
Like with the Saints quarterback, Drew Brees.
Did you know the guy was written off as washed up?
Absolutely.
He used to be the quarterback for another team, the San Diego Chargers, but hurt his shoulder so they went out and drafted a new guy to replace him.
No other team wanted him, since they were worried about his shoulder, and that it wouldn’t hold out.
Some told him to hang it up, and even chuckled at him for keeping trying.
Really, the only one who believed in him……..was himself.
Tough position to be in.
But, he kept believing in himself and trying to find a home.
No one was just going to go out and give him another shot at his dream.
Only by force of will on his own part was he given a “shot” with another down-and-out franchise, the Saints.
Well, if you saw the game yesterday, I think you know the outcome of that one… 
Kind of like you when you start out your own network marketing business, right?
I mean, NO ONE believes you can do this kind of thing, and some will even scoff at you for trying.
It can be hard to stomach, but, just like Drew, you’ve gotta have an inner belief in what you are doing, and know that this IS what you want to do.
Just as important to know is that no one is going to go hand you success on a silver platter, you’ve got to be
willing to go out there and get the success that you want.
Keep plugging away at it, learn what you can, and constantly try to improve yourself.
There will be setbacks, no doubt, but true success comes when you do a little gut-check and keep moving towards whatever your goal is.
Don’t you think it worked out for Drew Brees and the Saints?

That was just what I needed to hear! Thanks for the great post.
Hey Jemma,
Good deal! Just go for it. No one is going to hand you an inch. Just believe in yourself and work towards what you want and the dream.

We waited eagerly for this game. My hubby is from IN. so, he was pulling for the Colts. But, it became apparent that his team was missing some of the “hunger” demonstrated by the Saints.
We saw the “picked” pass for a defensive TD that sealed the game. We saw the missed opportunity for a quarterback sneak around the right end. So it wasn’t to be.
We celebrated with Drew for that marvelous victory which really spills over to uplifting the psyche of the region still recovering from Katrina.
We celebrated Drew’s tenacity which is an inspiration. He made sacrifices. There is no don’t he played ball through pain, even his one year old boy didn’t distract him from daily drills, the playbook, teambuilding.
In my home based business, I have allowed life to get in the way of focus.
Thanks for the encouragement again to never never quit.
Staying focused.
Hey Pat,
Your absolutely right. Life can easily get in the way and you need to just sit down and focus at times to get things going.
