Why are Gardening and Network Marketing Alike?

Working in the garden puts me in a pensive state of mind and today it suddenly struck me: Network marketing is just like gardening and I will explain it to you.

When you know nothing at all about gardening and you decide you want to  buy a house with a nice piece of land and start your own garden, this will be a major challenge if you just go about it without getting yourself educated about gardening.

Even if you start reading up you will still need someone who is proficient about it to give you advice and support and at times perhaps even a helping hand. You need to plan what you want to be doing first. Decide  where the fruit trees will have to go and which, which area would be nice for  a vegetable garden and which plant mix would suit to make the space around the house and the yard just beautiful. It has to be considered carefully that something nice is there at each season, that the required work will be in tune with the time you can spend on it and that you kind of develop the garden for long-term usage.

Now let us look at network marketing. when you first have the idea that you want to do something on top of your job you have to do some critical thinking as to how much time you will be able to put in and what the ultimate goal in context with the additional effort would be. Then, if you proceed wisely you will have to look around and find someone whom you trust and who will be able to  help you get going in a business of your own. And of course you will make sure that you work with someone who has adequate experience and whose success was not achieved in the past but who is having success now! This is what Michael Dloughy points out again and again and it makes perfect sense considering the changes which have taken place in business since the internet has come up.

Time is a feature which gardening and network marketing have in common too. You cannot expect a garden to be flourishing within a few short weeks and you cannot expect a business to be either. Growth, which ever way, always takes place over a period of time. Lots of people have a problem with this, but some don’t!
