"Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it."
Giving Up Too Soon

A man meets a guru in the road. The man asks the guru, "Which way is success?"
The berobed, bearded sage speaks not but points to a place off in the distance.
The man, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushes off in the appropriate direction. Suddenly, there comes a loud "Splat!!!"
Eventually, the man limps back, tattered and stunned, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. He repeats his question to the guru, who again points silently in the same direction.
The man obediently walks off once more. This time the splat is deafening, and when the man crawls back, he is bloody, broken, tattered, and irate. "I asked you which way is success," he screams at the guru. "I followed the direction you indicated. And all I got was splatted! No more of this pointing! Talk!"
Only then does the guru speak, and what he says is this: "Success is that way. Just a little after the splat."
We must never forget that anything worth having, is worth working for. Orrin Woodward and the Team have demonstrated over and over that success comes to those who stick. Orrin has said that success is as simple as falling down 99 times as long as you get up 100. Are you willing to fall down 99 times and get up the 100th time to success? Operating under the principles and business model of the Team make getting up easier and the falling down doesn’t hurt as much. Learn from the fall and each time we’re closer to success. Commitment, perseverance, determination… these are not optional ingredients in the formula for success. William Feather said "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go."
So hang on! And achieve the success you’ve dreamed of.
