How about those Tigers!!

It's been since 1987 that the Detroit Tigers have made it to the playoffs and since 1984 that they won their last World Series. It was great to see the players return to the field and spray the fans with campaign after their series clinching win over the New York Yankees. It's a time of celebration here in Detroit. We have waited along time for a winning team. We know we still have a ways to go, but even if we loose we are still very proud of our Tigers.

The Tigers were considered the underdogs against the all might New York Yankees. Jim Leyland and his Tigers shocked baseball fans around the country. While watching the game I couldn't help but feel a little guilty for not paying closer attention to the Tigers during the last several years. I know there are some loyal and die hard fans that have stuck it out even through a 119 game loosing season. It reminds me of the determination and belief that is so critical in reaching success in network marketing. One must endure many loosing seasons before reaching that winning season. When you really think about it sports and MLM are really quite synonymous with one another. These loyal die hard fans never gave up on their team. They believed and preserved knowing that someday things would turn around.

We all know there is a physical preparation with sports, but what about the mental preparation? The Tigers let the Kansas City Royals sweep and deny them the divsion title that the Tigers were expected to win. They were in a loosing steak just before the first game with the Yankees. So what was it that turned them around and helped them come back and win 3 straight games to clinch the series against the Yankees? I like to think it was the coaching of Jim Leyland. I think Jim Leyland was instrumental in getting through to them that they were there playing against the Yankees because they deserved to be there. They had already proven that they had the skill and the talent to be there, they just needed to believe they were good enough to beat the Yankees.

How many of us really believe in ourselves, our talents, and our abilities? How many of us believe we deserve to be standing on stage telling a room full of hundreds to even thousands of people our stories of how we achieved success in our network marketing business? Just like the Tigers, you have to see it, and believe it, if your ever going to achieve it.

Go Tigers!!!!!
