Referral Marketing: Diet Coke


About 25 years ago, I was in college and training for a body building contest. Yikes, I just admitted alot there in one sentence!! Anyway, in order to cut out more calories, I started blending in Diet Coke with my regular Coke. Eventually, I made the switch entirely to Diet Coke for no calories.

I had been drinking Diet Coke since then as my main beverage, except for coffee and some iced tea. Many people over the years kept telling me how bad Diet Coke was for my body. The fact that you could clean really dirty things by using Diet Coke made me wonder if my intestines were sparkling clean or not!

I decided recently to give it up all together. I haven't had a Diet Coke in nearly 2months now. Yes, some days I still crave it, but I've moved on. I made the decision and I'm sticking to it. All it took was the determination to have a healthier body.

If you're not happy with the results you're getting (or not getting) from your networking group, why not DECIDE to make a change. No ... I'm not suggesting you leave the group! Instead, change your behavior ... lead your relationships ... and create the results you want. Yes, you can expect some cravings for the complacency you once had ... but in the long run, your referral marketing efforts will be enhanced by your determination and leadership.
