Derek Jeter Gets 3,000th Hit!

New York Yankee shortstop, Derek Jeter jumped into the baseball record book by reaching 3,000 hits today. He is one of only 28 men in the history of baseball who have achieved this and the first New York Yankee to accomplish the feat.

So, what does this have to do with network marketing? I'm getting to that. Jeter is a lifetime .312 hitter, which means that out of 10 times at bat he will fail 70% of the time to get a hit. Did you hear that? 70% of the time Jeter fails and 30% of the time he succeeds and he will be going into the baseball Hall of Fame some day in the future.

Now, do you think that when Jeter fails to get a hit, he begins to doubt himself and think about quitting, because it's just not working out? No, because he's thinking that the next time up he'll get and hit and he knows that out of every 10 at bats he's going to get 3 hits and be a hall of famer! In your network marketing business, you should be thinking the same way. Each time you get a "No" you should be thinking that you'll get a "Yes" the next time up.

Figure out your stats. Out of 10 contacts, how many will look at your business and how many say "NO". That way you can be just like Derek Jeter and perhaps some day you'll be in the network marketing hall of fame (or at least one of the top income earners in your company enjoying total life freedom).
