At the seminar that I attended I came across this
quote:
"We are for the most part nouns living a world
screaming for verbs."
[We are for the most part objects, things, in a world
in need of action.]
I thought this statement was quite profound. As I look
to most situations in my life I see this statement as
abundantly true.
I was once a part of the mainstream corporate world as
a sales rep and once I got used to that change from
school to the job world I realized that it wasn't
something that I was all that excited to be a part of.
In fact, I remember after about 6 months on the job I
got up to take a shower and all I could thank was this
was the exact same routine that I had followed to a tee
everyday for the last six months.
This shook me to the core when I thought about the
future. Was this routine all I had to look forward to
for the rest of my life?
Furthermore, I remember . . .
On my job we were even graded on a monthly basis how
well we did exactly what we were "taught" to do - down
to the very last word. (Can you say automaton?)
I thought the corporate world wanted me because I was
bright, young, and energetic, but all they wanted was
another cog in the wheel - a noun.
Well, I wasn't having any of that! (And I suspect you
have the same desire or else you wouldn't be reading
this email.)
My first encounter with network marketing was really
not too much different then my corporate life.
I was giving a task and a script to follow and I was
instructed to head out and do it to a tee.
The goal was financial freedom, but in essence the work
was no different than my corporate experience - this
didn't fit me.
Then came my current MLM.
I created my own plan, my own template for what I
needed, and then found the right business to put that
plan into action.
In fact I don't think I followed the status quo at all
or even asked my upline one question about how I should
promote my business. I simply did what I thought was
best.
I took action. In fact, I was action - the verb.
And it was from this action that success began to flow.
I'm not saying following the status quo is wrong. The
truth is most people out there do what they are told to
do, "the job mentality", and live a very descent life
for doing it.
All I'm saying is if you want to live the life you
dream of you MUST take independent action.
Do it your way and don't give up until you get there.
What if you could guarantee you make money in your
business regardless of whether or not any joins your
business? ==> http://www.opportunity-waits.com
