If Edison stop trying after 1000 times......

Have you ever heard of the story of Edison? Well I have heard it a few times from different people. At first when I heard the story I thought the person telling the story said 10,000 times by mistake and screwed up the story. I thought, Thomas Edison tried maybe 100 times but 10,000 times that cant be right, but yea he tried 10 thousand times, that's how many times he tried. Wow, can you imagine if he had stopped at 1000 times? But he didn't he continued to try over and over and over again. Why? Because he really believed he can do it! He saw the future of light and beyond. What an imagination! We don't even appreciate one mans belief and what he accomplished with that belief. I mean its not just the light bulb think about everything that followed after that. Not only the fact that we wouldn't even have Internet right now if he didn't keep trying! Think of all the wonderful & amazing inventions that we have and they all came because Edison continued with persistence to find a way and he did. That paved a way for so many to believe in possibilities.
I always think about someone like Edison when I get even a tad of discouragement. Its not like I'm going to invent anything like the light bulb or anything like that but I know I haven't tried no where near 10,000 times at my business,  so I always say to myself if someone like Edison tried 10,000 times and look what he created I can give it another 200 times and still be WAY ahead of the game. But then some people are so unrealistic. So many people who want to find that magic pill. That get rich overnight and not even learn anything pill. People get IN give it a half **** 3 months and then say "oh it didn't work". I say "What?! What do you mean it didn't work? What have you done"?!!! They say "oh well I talked to my friends and family and they are not interested" lol for real? This is too darn funny. Do people really think that they are going to build a successful business with just their friends and family?????Do you think that Wal-Mart, Kmart, Macy's built their successful business with their friends and family? Uh, No they didn't. That's why they are successful. People need to get serious! There are more people that you don't know that you can know that can help you build your business and you don't have to depend from the friends and family! And I'm not friends and family bashing I'm just saying if you REALLY really want to build this business you have to try all lot of times to build this type of business or any business for that matter! Doing the basic fundamentals and then following up in ABC pattern. You know like learning how to run your business! That takes time and takes some doing & trying, but I guarantee you will be feeling like an inventor and you wont have to try anywhere near 10,000 times. I admit you have to try a few times maybe a good 10-20 times before you build 2 great distribution organizations then you get the hang of it. Once you got the hang of it you can make a little bit or all lot of money the choice is yours. But trying 5,10, even 50 times and quitting is unacceptable you have no respect from me and you will never know if you could of been an Edison because you quit on what you believed!
So I will continue to seek for those who really really believe they can have, be, or do anything they want!
Im looking for real Entreprenuers!
