“So the Grass Is Greener Over There???”

Coach Wade Report – December 23, 2025

Hi, Coach Wade here.

I recently shared a thought-provoking post on my YouTube channel about where network marketing is supposedly “easier” to build.

Here’s the idea that keeps circulating:

Is it easier to succeed in countries with high unemployment because people are desperate for opportunity?
Or is it easier in countries where everyone is employed because they have more disposable income?
Maybe it’s easier in places where people earn less, because a modest network marketing income can replace a full-time job?

Then again… maybe none of that is the real issue.

Maybe the truth is simpler: it’s easiest to build right where you already are.

So why do we constantly search for shortcuts, better locations, or ideal conditions? Instead of looking outward for an “easy button,” we could invest time in sharpening our skills. When our skills improve, results improve—and suddenly we no longer need to blame circumstances, geography, or timing.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “The grass is greener on the other side of the fence.”
What people don’t always mention is that the grass is often greener because it’s been heavily fertilized—sometimes with things most people would rather avoid.

Success works the same way.

Why Summer (and Holidays) Are an Advantage

At its core, network marketing is simple. We connect with people and share a message.

That process becomes harder when people are rushed, stressed, and overloaded with responsibilities. It becomes much easier when people slow down and have breathing room in their schedules.

That’s why holidays, summer months, and extended weekends create incredible opportunities. People are more relaxed, more social, and more open to conversations they’d normally avoid during busy seasons.

So instead of waiting for the “perfect country,” the “perfect economy,” or the “perfect timing,” why not take advantage of this season?

When others slow down, complain, or make excuses, that’s often the exact moment growth becomes easier—for those willing to act.

Use this time wisely, and you can build momentum faster than you think.
