HOME >> A Shovel Only Has One Gear YOURIMAGEHERE3 A Shovel Only Has One Gear By Donovan Baldwin = 300;ad_height = 250;adCopyright 2006 Donovan BaldwinMy wife really gets the credit for the title.
Here's how it happened.
Years ago, she and I were both truck driving instructors for amajor national carrier at their Dallas training facility.
Everyweek, we got a new batch of about 30 people to train, most ofwhom had never driven a truck (that's a big truck, semi,tractor-trailer).
Our trucks had 10 forward gears spread betweentwo ranges, had to be double-clutched (if you don't know, don'task - it takes too long to explain), and all shifting had to bedone at specific engine RPM's.
Upshifting was a differenttechnique from downshifting, and we threw in tricks of the tradesuch as skip-shifting, speed-shifting, and rolling into second(don't ask, I told you).
Needless to say, many of our students, most of whom were brightand willing to learn, had difficulty learning the shiftingtechniques.
My wife ran a tutor room at night at the motel wherethe students stayed, and students could come and ask questionsabout almost anything to do with the course, including shifting.
It was a popular place.
So popular in fact, that one night shetutored a guy for half an hour before she realized he wastraining with another company! We'll save the story about thenight the Dallas SWAT team had a shootout there for anothertime, but just for the record, yes, she did throw a full grownman to the floor.
Anyway, one night a student kept complaining about how hard itwas to learn to shift all those gears.
She sympathized with himfor a while, and gave him some tips and pointers, but he justwouldn't shut up! She politely responded for a little longer,but finally her patience snapped, and she uttered those fatefulwords,"Well! A shovel only has ONE gear.
"I said that most of the students were willing to do whatever ittook to learn everything we threw at them, because they realizedwhat the rewards would be.
Without dwelling on the truckingindustry too long, they had the chance to earn over $30,000 intheir first year, and after that, they could double or eventriple their income if they handled it right.
For people with noformal training in other fields, or with only experience inareas where income potential was limited, this was the way up,and my wife and I got to help a lot of these people get theirstart.
However difficult the training was, the reward was usually worththe effort to most of the people we trained.
We saw our share ofthe others as well.
The ones like the guy who was actuallyasking why the company didn't buy trucks that were easier toshift, when my wife shot him down.
I've been in and out of network marketing since 1994, andregularly active in internet marketing since about 1999, and Ihave seen my share of people who wanted the program to beeasy.

to do the work for them.
Just a few weeks ago, in fact, Igot an email from a gentleman asking about a businessopportunity I was involved with.
He wanted to know what kind ofincome he could expect the business to "earn him".
He even wentso far to say that if he couldn't be told how much to expect toearn and how soon he would begin earning enough to replace hiscurrent income, he would consider the business to be a scam.
The earnings anybody can expect to realize from any internet ornetwork marketing endeavor, and quite often the average job,will depend on a lot of things, including how much effortsomeone is going to put into their new business or position, andhow long they intend to expend that effort.
As a matter of fact,if I had to pinpoint one major factor of success for mostnetwork or internet marketers, I would just have to say suchseemingly simple things as, "Stick with it no matter what.
""Don't give up.
" "Try, try again.
"Honestly, if the business, product, or program is good, and ifthere is a market for it, sustained effort on your part, notonly in selling the product or program, but in learning aboutthe benefits of the product or program to the customer as well,will be one of the deciding factors in the success or failure ofyour venture.
I very often mention two friends of mine who became millionairessimply by handing out a brochure to everyone they met or came incontact with for three years.
They never sold anybody anything!Or I can use myself as an example.
Even today, although I make avery good living on the internet, I am not a salesman, and haveonly what I consider to be a basic skill at internet marketing.
However, I also have dozens of websites, most of which aresimple as simple can be, that I built (after teaching myselfhtml) and promoted regularly for almost three years before Ibegan receiving regular income from the internet.
As I havecontinued to build more and more informational sites, I havemade more and more sales of more and more products, and myincome has grown.
It's probably never going to be completely easy, but if you arewilling to study, to learn, to practice, and to make therequired effort and not give up, someday you will succeed.
