If you’re in network marketing, or really any entrepreneurial journey, here’s something you need to hear…
At 30, I thought I had everything figured out.
At 40, I realized… I was just getting started.
The biggest lessons I’ve learned in the past decade? These 15 right here. Read them, internalize them, and apply them to your business and life.
This is the raw, unfiltered truth you won’t hear from most “gurus.”
1. Marrying Well is the Biggest Life Hack of All. Period.
The person you commit to will either multiply your success or sabotage it.
If they don’t support your network marketing journey, it’s going to be an uphill battle.
I’ve seen top earners thrive because they had a partner who believed in them.
I’ve seen promising leaders quit because they were constantly defending their dream at home.
Business is hard enough. Choose a life partner who makes it easier.
2. You Must Learn to Be Disliked or You’ll Stay Trapped in a Prison of Other People’s Beliefs.
Want to know the #1 reason people fail in this business?
They care too much about what others think.
They won’t post because their cousin might judge them.
They won’t recruit because their old coworker might laugh.
They won’t sell because their high school “friend” might roll their eyes.
Meanwhile… the top earners? They move forward anyway.
🚀 The sooner you get comfortable being disliked, the sooner you start winning.
3. Nobody Cares About Your Life. So You Might As Well Do What You Want.
Let me free you from a huge illusion:
Nobody is thinking about you as much as you think they are.
They might judge your network marketing business for one second, then they go back to worrying about their own lives.
🔑 Lesson: Build your business like nobody’s watching—because they aren’t.
4. Most Successful People Aren’t That Smart. They Move Fast, Take Risks, and Work Hard.
Want the secret sauce to success?
🔥 Speed – They take action before they feel “ready.”
🔥 Risk – They invest before they’re “sure.”
🔥 Work – They grind longer than most people are willing to.
Stop overthinking. Move.
5. You Don’t Need More Time. You Need a Deadline.
Ever notice how you finish things faster when there’s a real deadline?
That’s because pressure creates progress.
❌ Wrong mindset:
“I’ll build my network marketing business when I have more time.”
✅ Right mindset:
“I have 90 days to hit my next rank—what do I need to do daily to make it happen?”
Set real deadlines. They’ll force you to grow.
6. The Sweet Spot for Success? Just Dumb Enough to Believe, Just Smart Enough to Execute.
This one hurts, but it’s true…
Overthinkers stay broke.
People who just believe and take action? They win.
You don’t need to know everything before you start.
You just need to know enough to take the next step.
🚀 Dumb enough to believe, smart enough to execute.
7. When You Hang Around People Who Make 10x More Than You, Your Problems Get Smaller.
Want to stop stressing about money? Get around people who have WAY more of it.
You’ll realize:
✅ Your “big” money problems aren’t that big.
✅ There’s always another level.
✅ The game of wealth is learnable.
This is why masterminds, mentorship, and events are non-negotiable.
Get in the right rooms and watch how fast you level up.
8. Waking Up Early, Being Married, Going to Church, Reading Books, Sleeping at 10 PM, and Drinking Less… Is Actually Amazing.
I used to think success was hustle, grind, no sleep.
Now? I realize the most successful people I know have:
⏰ Morning routines that set the tone for the day.
📖 Personal development habits (reading, prayer, reflection).
💤 Disciplined sleep schedules that keep them sharp.
This is the real flex.
9. The World is Run by People Who Are Probably Less Smart Than You. Stop Underestimating Yourself.
You ever look at some rich, successful person and think…
“Wait… how did THEY make it?”
The truth? They’re not that different from you. They just:
✅ Took action while you hesitated.
✅ Sold themselves before you believed in yourself.
✅ Put themselves in the right rooms.
🚨 Stop playing small. You belong at the top too.
10. When You Can’t Be Controlled, You’ll Be Hated.
The more independent you become, the more resistance you’ll face.
🔥 When you quit your 9-5, people will doubt you.
🔥 When you start making big money, they’ll whisper about you.
🔥 When you stop needing approval, they’ll resent you.
💡 Lesson: Let them hate. Keep moving.
11. You Are Exactly as Successful as You Programmed Yourself to Be.
Your belief system = your results.
If you believe making $100K is hard, it will be.
If you believe success takes 10 years, it will.
If you believe you’re stuck, you will be.
Want a new reality? Upgrade your internal programming.
12. Your Anxiety is Lying to You. You Will Be Fine.
🚨 90% of what you stress about… never happens.
You’ve survived every hard day so far.
The odds are actually in your favor.
Start acting like it.
13. Struggle is a Gift. Every Successful Person Has Been Through Hell.
I’ve never met a single top earner who hasn’t faced:
🔥 Massive rejection.
🔥 Brutal setbacks.
🔥 Moments of near quitting.
Struggle is the price of entry to greatness.
The difference? The successful don’t stop.
14. Success Demands Solitude.
You won’t grow if you’re always surrounded by noise.
📖 Read.
📝 Journal.
🤔 Think.
Your next breakthrough might come in the silence.
15. Everything is Hard. Choose Your Hard.
🚨 Being broke is hard.
🚨 Building a business is hard.
🚨 Staying stuck is hard.
🚨 Pushing through is hard.
Life is hard either way.
👉 So choose the hard that gives you freedom.

🔥 To move faster.
