World Cup Blues?

Written by Diksesh Patel

Background

I like my football, don't ask me which team I support, but they did not win the premiership this year either. When the World Cup comes around every four years I would be down the pub with mates, work and family permitting, for even the most of obscure games.

The challenge this time round is that I have found network marketing, a whole month without activity will be as frustrating as my team not winning the premiership again. That said I won't be organising any events during key games, and will have to accept that Ghana versus Australia may just hold more appeal than the best health and wellness product to hit the market ever (in my humble opinion).

Avoid Deception Marketing Practices

Resist deceptive marketing practices, you know what I mean.... like having a BBQ to watch the footy and whipping out a flip chart. Now there is nothing stopping you holding a beer, football and sizzle meet with your team to watch the footie.

Conclusion:

Network marketing activity cannot be allowed to stop for a whole month, it is like going to the gym, it's alright to miss the odd day - but if you miss a couple of weeks it is a lot harder to get back into the swing of things. Avoiding the key games, especially the England ones, will help you standing around wondering why nobody turned up to your home business review...
