When the going gets tough...the tough gets going, right? At least that is what I have always been told. Unfortunately I rarely get to witness it. It has become evident that most people don't really have what it takes to press on and persevere through the storm. But for those of us that do, it can be extremely rewarding.We live in what I would consider a microwave society. We want everything fast and with little to no effort. We have developed a sense of entitlement that leads us to believe that we don't have to work hard to be rewarded. We want rewards and accolades to be easily attained. We have lost sight of all the hard work and dedication that goes into reaching our goals and having the lives of our dreams.Think about it....everything that you have ever had that was worth keeping did not come to you overnight..did it? For mothers, it took nine months to finally be able to receive that bundle of joy. For those with college degrees, it took years to achieve those ranks. Not many can say that they are a "true" overnight success. Easy come...Easy go!! When we work hard for our rewards, we are much more apt to take better care and have a greater sense of pride.For those looking for true success in life and in your business, know that it does not happen overnight. You must put in a great amount of work and dedication. There will be sacrifices that you must make and the transition will not be comfortable. Take massive action for an extended amount of time.Don't put your life in the microwave and expect it to come out perfect...Put it in the oven and let it cook slowly and consistently. The finished product will be much more appetizing!!

Thank you. Looking forward to reading more posts from you.
Your words speak volumes and so true to fact and life. Being in the direct sales business I see this in those in the business and in the clients we serve. I do understand the thinking when purchasing from a direct sales businesses you have to wait a week or more before you recieve your purchase. In this society and times we want it now right now. All to true of those that join the direct sales business. They expect it to take off with immediate financial gain. It takes work, focus, dedication; a passion for your business to the point of obsession. There is no two ways around it. So as you put it Are you a Microwave or Are you a Oven. As for me I am most assuredly a Oven. Slow cooking is my style with a great amount of passion as my business slow cooks to great success.
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings to you and yours
