What 5 Monkeys Can Teach You About Network Marketing Success
In a recent post on Why People Fail in MLM Network Marketing, I revealed that one of the main reasons people fail is because they do not step out of their comfort zone to learn new skills.
This point was really brought home in a story told by TriVita founder Michael Ellison at the annual TriVita convention a couple of weeks ago:
The Story of the 5 Monkeys
5 monkeys were placed in a room that had a cluster of bananas hanging from the ceiling.
In the middle of the room was a ladder. To get to the bananas, all the monkeys had to do was climb up the ladder.
However, half way up the ladder was a hose that was set up to blast the monkey with water once it got part way up the ladder.
The first monkey got half way up the ladder, was blasted with water, and retreated to the a corner in the room. The same thing happened with the second monkey until all 5 monkeys were cowered in the corner and they would not go after the bananas because they were afraid of the water hose.
None of the monkeys were hurt or injured, yet they were so intimidated by the obstacle between them and their goal that they could not get out of their comfort zone to seek the bananas.
The moral of the story: You gotta step out of your comfort zone to succeed.
So, what is holding you back? What are you afraid of?
Face your fears head-on and if something feels uncomfortable, it could be the exact thing you need to be doing.

I believe I can speak for all of us once I say this, our health stands out as the most important thing. If we now have our health, I feel that we can get any woman/man we want and any job we want. But from the contemporary climate of elements with the raising prices of supplements and such, I think the average spend on health goods is around $1000-2000 a year for me, it is almost certainly higher for others. I discovered an awesome method to fund this expenditure which has also helped me fund my holidays. Don't worry, this just isn't going to become any nonsense which bores you to death, and it does truly work, some individuals I know who use this definitely make a living off it
It takes close to an hour to set up and you do not need significantly funds at all. If you're interested, just examine out the link in my name.
