Remember it's a business NOT a marriage

As I see it.... Marriage is a lifetime commitment.... you know... "until death do us part".... as it should be.


Business on the other hand, is still a commitment, but not necessarily one you can or should make for life.

I think that is one of the major mistakes people make when entering the direct sales/networkmarketing arena.
They fall "in love" with a product or  their upline or whatever, and they feel they need to stick with them "till death do us part", no matter what.

The fact of the matter is.... you should never do that. Should you be a loyal customer? Sure. should you do the best you can to build a business and residual income for your family? Yep.

But should you say to yourself "come hell or high water" I am never leaving this company? Absolutely not. 
Why? Because I can tell you from experience.... companies can and do go out of business. Do you think they take your feelings in to account before making life changing decisions?  Uh  let's see.... NOT!

Sometimes there are warning signs, "red" flags if you will, before something bad is going to happen, and sometimes not. In any event, treat your business relationship with professionalism and integrity, but do not become so "emotionally" involved that your cannot or will not make  intelligent business decisions that are right for you and your family.
