The following is from the mentoring for free trainings, a powerful post on what is the opposite of achievement. Do you know what the answer is without looking?

HAH! I'll bet you're saying, "That's easy. The opposite of achievement is failure."

Not so fast, pal!

Oh, I can see your point. Failure is definitely the opposite of achievement. But think about this one for a minute:

"The opposite of achievement is perfectionism."

OO-oo-ooh! The more you insist on perfection, the less you will get done. The problem with perfection is, it takes FOREVER to achieve it. There is always, always, always one more thing you can do to get closer to perfect. And there are a ton of MLMers always looking for that "one more thing."

Do you have "forever" to reach your goals?

I'm a big believer in the 80/20 Rule which says that "80% of the result comes from 20% of the effort." In network marketing - or anything else - you are way better off to act now and get 80% of the result, than to wait a day or a week or a month or a year, until everything is perfect.

In the time that passes while you are getting everything right, somebody else will have blundered on ahead and completed 20 or 50 or 300 or 1000 actions, and you will be eating their dust.

Perfection would be great, but here is the price you must pay for it: nothing ever gets finished. The road to success lies in doing lots of the right actions and finishing them - not perfectly, but sufficiently. The more you act on your logical plan, the more achievement you will have.

Perfectionism truly is the opposite of achievement. If you recognize that irony, you'll be a lot closer to reaching your goals.

From Michael Dlouhy’s success in 10 steps on working with people and studying them, also building your own spiderweb of people who know like and trust you. That when a opportunity they believe will work for you they will contact you or talk to you about it.

Your Best, Cheapest Solution

In my opinion, your best, least expensive, most-likely-to-work solution is to study people. Study people, and use what you learn to BUILD YOUR SPIDERWEB NOW!!

Obviously, there is no guarantee against catastrophe. But your best protection is to create a huge network of people who you have helped and who feel a kinship & loyalty to you.

We can help you do that. Creating our own giant spiderweb has given Linda & me everything we want in life.

I’ve written this e-book because we love the network marketing industry, and we want to give back.

Learn what to do. Then build it once, build it right, cherish it and care for it, and it will last and sustain you throughout your lifetime.

From Success in 10 Steps by Michael Dlouhy, a wonderful section on building a network of people who know like and trust you as a person.

One of the things that we have within our own lives is leaders. They can even be leaders in a family.

They are often people who lead us in a new direction, in life there are people who will do anything to get ahead in life from knocking someone or backstabbing them for some reason. A true leader is someone who encourages people to make mistakes, yet also remains as calm as can when a mistake happens.

Yet also a true leader is someone who practices unconditional acceptance on everyone as a person. They accept a person as they are, the way the communicate. The way they talk, that they have limits in their abilities, their skin colour, their spelling as person, they accept their own floors and work with them. They accept others floors too.

They accept responsibility for the mistake and will refuse to pass the buck. Yet when there is a win the credit goes to others. However there are people who like to place fear in people and to make them feel bad about something. To make them feel small for a mistake or failure as a person. They can email you a comment via your contact form and in an attempt to make you feel bad for not conforming to their wishes or demands. They may say something in order to get you to conform to their wishes as a person. A lot of these people have a very inflated ego and enjoy bringing people down as it makes them feel better about themselves and feel like a big person.

As stated by Napoleon Hill throughout think and grow rich. Leadership is by consent and cannot be forced on someone at all, when you force someone eventually they will say no more. I am not putting up with this anymore, that is when the person walks away they will say I resign, I am out of here and do it. The person may even lodge a complaint, yet when it fails to get dealt with and others ridicule them then they are forced to leave. Saying good luck and in life a person will learn from such.

A true leader is someone who can put up with that ridicule and yet when there is a legitimate complaint they hear what a person has to say. They talk about the issue. They do not sweep the issue under the carpet which have seen happen a few times throughout own career.

Throughout own leadership career I have met many people who simply were incapable of accepting how lead as a person. They were incapable of accepting who was as a person, think about it a 35 year old guy who has been living with a back injury since was 17. Was epileptic at 4 years old and grew out of it, for me to just maintain own health it means regular exercise. I am at the gym for 2 hours 3 times a week. It means eating rite, now its hard for people understand that I am up at 4 am on those 3 days just to go to the gym and get things done. Yes I do take a break when it is needed yet I am aware what has to be done to keep own health.

They just are unable to understand that is what has to be done. A true leader is someone who does what has to be done, when it’s up at 4 am to get to the gym. When its doing the dog watch as a old work place called it which is 0130 to 6 am shift for a volunteer job as no one else wants to do it. Its staying up later to make a phone call or getting up early to make a phone call. That is what a true leader does.

They do whatever they can to achieve their goals. Yes they may suffer many setbacks and failures yet they will learn from such.
