Listening to one of my favorite marketing mentors in the car earlier this week, he reminded me of a very important business fact. It applies doubly to online business and internet success.

What he said was that success is a marathon and not a sprint.

We all know this, but sometimes it's important to remind ourselves and really take it to heart. In today's fast paced world of instant gratification and immediate feedback.

We want everything right now. Just look at video games, movies "on demand", and online anything. Instant gratification is the name of the game and the marketers know it. With the internet, they'll even deliver anything they can instantly. (ebooks, movies, and special access areas.)

We are bombarded by messages that tell use that this or that is the instant solution to whatever problem we need solved. Why? IT WORKS!!! We are called to action, and we take it with our plastic card or paypal account.

As sellers, we can use this to our advantage, but when buying we must realize that no matter what we're being told their will be WORK involved.

I've bought and tried just about anything and everything online that promises to help me make money quickly and guess what? Mostly it's good information, but none of it has lead to instant wealth in my life. The experiences gained while trying all these different things has given me a hard earned education. Actually it is this experience over time along with the information that turns into revenue.

We all know if you treat your business like a sprint and jump into every business opportunity thinking that if you just get in early and push hard that money will fall in your lap, you'll fail every single time. Rather real success online or with network marketing comes from consistent and persistent focused effort aimed towards your ONE goal! A goal that is different for each of us.

For instance, Internet network marketing is my chosen niche for a reason. I love the speed of results that can be created in an online world, but I equally love the security and financial freedom that a strong and thriving network marketing organization affords.

I know that if I can master both internet and network marketing that I will be able to grow a large thriving network marketing organization FASTER than if I do it solely offline. (I've done the off line thing for a long time.)

Even at this, I know that it's a marathon and not a sprint.

My team has worked consistently for the past 9 or so months and now we've got over 2718 people as part of our group. These numbers are the type of numbers that only a true network-marketing master could boast of creating in the offline world in the time frame stated, but it is a different playing field. We just put the pieces of the puzzle together and then help others do the same.

If we can do this so can you. What do we have? ONE goal, a plan of action, and team full of great people who all understand that network marketing is a business of delayed gratification. The big money comes in years 3 to 5 and we know this.

So stop and ask yourself right now . . . Are you committed enough to your business and your future that you would devote the next 3 to 5 years of your life to it to see big results? To achieve internet success.

Network marketing can give you more freedom in your life than you can ever imagine if you just approach it as a marathon and not a sprint. The dream is true and its there if you want it. You have to give your time and your passion to your business and your organization.

Rome was not built in a day and neither will your network marketing financially free lifestyle no matter what THEY say! Remember it is a marathon not a sprint.
