Between the payoff there is always a process!

I want to write more on things I am learning in the online world as a Network/Social Marketer. My journey, process, learning curve, and experience in this huge business are slow but sure. I just finished a book that helped me immensely in my faith (activated) in life and my business. "There is a story behind the glory! Between the payoff there is always a process!" These quotes are from a great book..."Sun Stand Still", by Steven Furtick! Honesty, good work ethics, determination and being "real" in the relationships and the selling of your online opportunity is hard to keep in balance and true to yourself. I am finding that some of my close friends and mentors in this business feel that I talk too much and give too much information... imagine that ;) .... and I am too honest to a fault...and they are right. I am one of those feely type people and generally upbeat but when I am not...oh boy...I need to not be on the phone. I am a real easy "read" personality wise so I am better off to keep to myself when I am down. Also, professionalism is so important and I could use some polishing on that area...thank God, He isn't through with me yet and there is a lot out there to read to help in that department! The balance I am talking about is being real, of good character versus learning techniques of closing, salesmanship, upbeat, super positive...etc...
To me, those things are important but I have to be pleasing to God first than to man. In some cases I might even be offensive because of my faith. I am learning for me and my "being true to myself and faith" not compromising and being faithful to what I want people to see which is the real Cindy Martini. For those who join my team, they can count on me (through the grid of my faith) to give the truth, give good ethical advice, be a good listener, and be available, to not be afraid or be hurt because their opinion might be different than mine, and also look out for their best interest over mine. Also they will know up front if I don't know the answer I will find it and I do not have the corner of the market on being always "Right". To the best of my ability, I hope my team can depend on me every time!
To get to the main point and to encourage my readers, for the payoff in your spiritual walk or earning income and being successful there is ALWAYS A PROCESS. Everyone knows as a "newbie" in anything one is pursuing there is the learning time, failing, growing and experience earned. The hours spent working it or applying it to your life can be repetitive, boring, humbling and painstakingly tough. In my humble opinion business, spiritual and personal growth goes together and should not be different. Be true to oneself. Be who you are and be aware of your strengths, gifts and talents and use them in working your business and don't take on what you cannot handle. Be the individual that you are and daily keep polishing and improving to be the person you want to be in character and deeds. Eventually, you will find out you will reap many blessings of friendship as well as success in your business. Another note to bring to the table, build a team that has different strengths (also they have weaknesses...we all do) and as the team learns to work together... building the whole and not just individually. In online business "the down line" are people with hopes and dreams like yourself so communicate regularly, be honest, not negative, and find solutions together. I have learned one thing for sure...YOU ARE AS SUCCESSFUL IF YOUR DOWNLINE TEAM IS TOO! Isn't that also true in the thing called “Life” and the journey?
