Marshmallow? Okay, now you may think I have completely lost it. But please stay with me for a moment and I will explain where I am going with this.

A study was done on a group of four year old children. They were taken one at a time into a room with a two-way mirror and given a marshmallow.

Do you have the patience it takes to be successful in network marketing

Patience is an essential business skill every network  marketer needs to be successful.
