Part of the guide: Network Marketing Lead Generation
How to put your socks on is inspired by the great John Wooden. One of the most beloved basketball coaches and an inspiration to anyone who has heard his ideology.
One of my favorite quotes from him is, “If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.” I relate this to the world of Internet Marketing. There are fundamental skills we must learn to be successful. One of them is being consistent in our actions. Taking tiny steps forward every day will always breed more action. Being in a hurry and expecting fast results will only cause frustration and disappointment.
This is a great reminder if you’re not seeing the success you want yet, just know that your efforts will pay off. If you are seeing some results but aren’t satisfied you’re going in the right direction, your marketing just might need a little tweaking. Ask yourself what you learned and what you can do better. Look for guidance from the leaders who have paved a way for us. You’ll find out their stories of struggle in the beginning are similar to yours.
How to put your socks on… is a great example of getting down to the basics and letting go of the ego. If we take time to learn the industry and apply the methods as we go along, we will be in far better shape than trying to do it all at once. Keep it simple at first until you’ve mastered at least one skill.
John Wooden’s Seven Point Creed
Be true to yourself.
Make each day your masterpiece.
Help others.
Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
Make friendship a fine art.
Build a shelter against a rainy day.
Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
We all want to be the best at what we set out to conquer. We want to stand out from the masses and be important. We love to receive credit for our accomplishments and be recognized for our talents and gifts. Being humble, staying true to our integrity, and following through with consistent action will set a pace of honest expectations.
We all have unique characteristics to share with the public. We have the opportunity to provide a service to countless individuals who are looking for a change. Creating your own unique style of service in Internet Marketing is a viable business (and portable).
In the online marketing space, it can be a lonely place sometimes… like we are all on our own island yet trying to catch the same fish. In some ways, this might be true for some. For others, it’s far from the truth because abundance is all around us. Social media is allowing us to share each other’s content, breaking down the barriers of what some call competition. There’s room for all of us to shine!
If you feel like you’re goin’ at it alone – know that there are groups of entrepreneurs in this community that are here to guide you. We are looking to align with people who are hungry for success. Those who are willing to work with a vision of purpose. To succeed beyond your wildest imagination and build your dreams to fruition. Together, using the power of unity to support a sustainable online business, we are unstoppable!
Always be learning thus growing thus sharing thus giving thus abundantly full of life! Continue working towards your dreams! If you don’t have a total vision of what you want and need some clarity, contact me… I’m here to assist you!
Always in service and prosperity,
Carey Rapier

You have been paid late before
You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.
Read the contract →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.

The Seven Point Creed by John Wooden is truly inspiring. I’m going to print it out and keep it by my desk as a daily reminder. Thank you for sharing!
Three posts a day. One email a day.
Everything I publish, in one short daily email. Real numbers, no hype, unsubscribe in one click.
Get paid 100%, on-chain, the second the sale clears
Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.
See how the payout works →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.
I spent eight years on the field development side of a company that ran almost exactly this kind of messaging internally, so I’ll flag my bias up front before saying anything else. ‘There’s room for all of us to shine’ and ‘abundance is all around us’ are the two lines every field development team gets trained to repeat, because they preempt the one question that actually threatens retention: is the local market already saturated by the people who got here first. I’m not saying it’s always false. I’m saying I watched it get deployed regardless of whether it was true in a given market, and nobody upstream was checking which case applied before the talking point went out to the whole field.
Renata’s right to flag it. Most people who hear ‘there’s room for all of us’ are not the rare case who breaks through — they’re the median case who quietly stops posting a year later. Both are true; the post only mentions one.
Renata’s said the polite version. The blunt one: ‘abundance is all around us’ is what you tell someone so they don’t ask if the pond’s already fished out. My mother would spot that in one read.
Gail’s plain-English version exposes the actual process gap: ‘consistent action’ has no defined unit here. Daily? Weekly? Ten minutes or two hours? Without an input you can measure, ‘be consistent’ just means ‘keep going and hope.’
We used to call this ‘do the work’ training. No diagram needed. Not wrong, just never once includes an actual number.
Fine. But is the pond actually fished out, or is that just as unproven as the abundance claim? Neither side of this argument has numbers. Look, that’s the actual problem with the post.
The line I keep coming back to is ‘letting go of the ego.’ That’s worth doing regardless of what it does for your business. I’d have liked the post to sit with that idea rather than pivot straight back to recruiting language.
Sorry if this is obvious, but is the Seven Point Creed meant to apply to the business too, or is it more of a general life add-on?
The load-bearing points: take small consistent steps, stay humble, don’t chase overnight results. What’s missing is any actual definition of ‘mastering one skill’ — the post never says how you’d know you’ve mastered it versus just gotten used to doing it badly.
