You Fail At Least Once

You fail at least once. That’s a tough statement to make and could be interpreted the wrong way. I would like to state it as a positive though. Most of us learn by our mistakes, which in turn makes us better when we make another attempt at what we tried before. Thomas Edison failed almost 2,000 times before he was able to make his incandescent light work. He always said that he was just one step closer to success for almost 2,000 times. He just studied and researched more each time and then applied what he had learned previous attempts.

Online network marketing is a glowing example of what the statement can apply to. You are looking to earn extra money or replace your current income when you decide to get involved in the world of online network marketing. Maybe you wanted to be your own boss, control your hours and finally make the money that you feel your worth.

We are exited and aggressively start the cycle of the traditional network marketer. Most companies recommend that you start by introducing your opportunity to your warm market of family and friends. You find out in a hurry, that your enthusiasm about your opportunity does not absorbed by them, in spite of your passionate promotion and the strong evidence of how your program will benefit them. I can honestly say that anyone who has been involved with network marketing can say; “been there, done that”! You then turn to other avenues of trying to create prospects and then fall into a trap of spending more money than you are making. Your determination is strong though and you keep forging ahead, trying one technique after another. Finally, your enthusiasm wanes and though hesitant, you raise the white flag and surrender. You look in the mirror and tell yourself that even though you gave this opportunity your best effort, you failed.

Don’t despair because a majority of the time it is not your fault. Please realize that systems fail, people don’t (as long as you have put forth the effort). It could have been that the company you decided to affiliate yourself with just didn’t provide you with the basic tools and training you needed or that the product was not a good fit for you. You look in the mirror again and tell yourself that you possess an entrepreneurial spirit and have a driving desire to be successful. Entrepreneurs are people who take control over their business. You now focus on creating opportunities and becoming innovative in a way that makes you stand out. You focus now is on mastering one marketing strategy first that attracts people to you, and ultimately allows you to share your business to them.

You can now take your knowledge of your previous endeavor and start again. Take your time in your research on companies and opportunities on the web. Look for a solid and marketable product and a company that provides the tools you will need to succeed. Successful companies will provide you with numerous tools and weekly training. This training often comes from successful affiliates and not from someone in the “office” that has no true experience. Only you will know what tools you are looking for because you should now realize your strengths and weaknesses.

When I sit at my desk each morning, I read this statement from an individual who has failed and then succeeded….Donald Trump. “Take the pains required to become what you want to become or you might end up becoming something you’d rather not be.” So you failed once, we all do.

Cell Phone technology has come a long way. The basic concept of cellular phones began in 1947, when researchers looked at crude mobile (car) phones and realized that by using small cells (range of service area) with frequency reuse they could increase the traffic capacity of mobile phones substantially. It’s called ‘cellular’ because the system uses many base stations to divide a service area into multiple ‘cells’. Cellular calls are transferred from base station to base station as a user travels from cell to cell. one of the most interesting things about a cell phone is that it is actually a radio — an extremely sophisticated radio, but a radio nonetheless.
The first official mobile phone was used in Sweden by the Swedish police in 1946. The technology was connected to the telephone network and was distinctive of two way radio technology. The phone was not very practical; it was only able to make 6 phone calls before the car’s battery was drained. Dr Martin Cooper, a former general manager for the systems division at Motorola, is considered the inventor of the first modern portable handset. Cooper made the first call on a portable cell phone in April 1973. He made the call to his rival, Joel Engel, Bell Labs head of research. Bell Laboratories introduced the idea of cellular communications in 1947 with the police car technology. However, Motorola was the first to incorporate the technology into portable device that was designed for outside of a automobile use.
Despite the incredible demand, it took cellular phone service 37 years to become commercially available in the United States. Consumer demand quickly outstripped the 1982 system standards. By 1987, cellular telephone subscribers exceeded one million and the airways were crowded. The world’s present mobile phone users’ base is past 3 billion as per an eminent market survey and the trends are likely to continue in the coming few decades. In addition to that, this base is larger than the strength of Internet users or fixed telephone line subscribers. The usage of mobile phone is attaining exemplary penetration rates in developed as well as developing nations. Look at where we are today. It seems as every adult and many children now carry a cell phone. My 7 year old granddaughter even has one and knows how to work all the features on the phone!
Science has made it possible to create better technology with smaller parts and in a shorter time frame. Cell phone technology continues to grow and expand as scientists discover faster and better ways to send cell phone signals. For some of us, we can remember the days of the large bag phones and where 150 minutes of time cost $60 – $70 per month. Of course that bill could easily double or triple if you went over those minutes or made calls from a roaming area. You didn’t have pictures or texting available at that time. Now our phones are our portable office.
We are now hearing the term “3G”. 3G technology is the latest in mobile communications. 3G stands for “third generation” — this makes analog cellular technology generation one and digital/PCS generation two. 3G technology is intended for the true multimedia cell phone — typically called smartphones — and features increased bandwidth and transfer rates to accommodate Web-based applications and phone-based audio and video files. 3G networks have potential transfer speeds of up to 3 Mbps (about 15 seconds to download a 3-minute MP3 song).
There is a new technology provided by Zer01 that is just arriving on the market that will offer true broadband speed. With this speed, you can download a 2 hour movie in less than 3 minutes. Their phone and service allows you to have real time video conferencing….talk about a time and money saver! Here is another interesting tidbit, if you have a newer phone, you can purchase just the SIM card and insert it in your phone and start using their network. You might not get all the features and benefits from your phone that is offered on their line of phones but you will increase your speed, have better coverage and get their “everything” flat rate.

Cell phone technology is expanding at a rapid rate, but it will be some time before other companies will be able to offer this kind of service.
